Chapter 1724: Why are you smiling?
"That won’t work," Kaemon responded immediately. "If we teleport away, they will chase after us and exit the suppressive dome. What we’ll be facing then is the full might of almost a hundred Heaven Immortals. In this situation, all we can do is find a way to suppress them all simultaneously. Or maybe a way to defeat them all in one swoop."

A sombre expression covered Lex’s face as he tried to think of a solution.
"Do not worry. Even now, I have not run out of contingencies," Kaemon assured Lex from afar. "What you need to do is to make the castle as defensible as possible, so that if it is forced to, it can survive the fallout from the self destruction of so many immortals. I’ll try to contain the situation, but if worse comes to worst, I have a means of quick retreat. I’ll return to the castle... after that we’ll just have to put the endurance of those walls to the test."
Lex frowned slightly.
"Are you sure? I can come and help you fight? I took one of them out, and if I repeat the process, it’ll take time but I’m sure I can eventually take them all out."
Lex was being generous with how confident he felt in defeating them all. While the Abaddon Inn was a powerful technique, getting it to work was not easy. If his enemies had the opportunity to see him use it repeatedly, surely they’d think of a way to avoid it.
"If they see their defeat coming, they will self-destruct. Fear is not an emotion that the Gon feel - literally. If they are slaves, they will have strict orders about it. Victory or defeat has to be decided in one swift move. Leave it to me."
Lex used this moment to reflect. Only minutes ago he had been feeling good about his strength. Now, he was in grave peril.
"Lex, why are you smiling like that?" Leonidas asked curiously.
"Smiling? I’m not smiling. We’re in a very serious situation, so I’m taking this very seriously," Lex responded matter-of-factly.
