Chapter 224: Chapter 224: You Play Your Assassination, I Play My Trap (1)

Lu Xiao flipped through the booklet and upon seeing various types densely packed on the pages, he couldn’t help but feel a tingle on his scalp.

No wonder the Seventeenth Bureau was regarded so poorly.

Compared to Martial Artists, the abilities of Mutants were too numerous and flashy.

And some special Mutants, even if they had weak combat power, possessed extremely practical abilities that could achieve tasks beyond the reach of even the greatest masters.

For example, under the transformation category, there was a branch called "Color Change".

According to the description, people with the "Color Change" ability could alter their body color to any shade, depending upon their luck.

Although it wasn’t written in the booklet, Lu Xiao felt that turning black would be best since it would perfectly blend into the night during assassinations.

Of course, if someone was already black-skinned... that would be pretty useless.

Then there’s the extreme category under speed, including an ability called "Rapid Run".

Mutants with the "Rapid Run" ability could run faster than 80 kilometers per hour. Sure, it’s nowhere close to those absurd movie characters who can outrun light, but... 80 kilometers per hour is still impressive, enough to make deliveries without even needing an electric scooter.

"All set, are the things packed up?"

"Once they are, let’s head back to the Seventeenth Bureau. Take your time with the booklet, get familiar with it, so you can better predict encounters with Mutants in the future."

Liuli Hong finished the last sip of his tea and stood up, placing his tea cup down.

But just as he stood, his mobile phone in his pocket vibrated.

"Hello, what’s up?" Liuli Hong answered the call, frowning as he asked.

The call was from Goo Yuexing.

People at the Seventeenth Bureau knew he disliked taking calls, so his phone hardly ever rang unless there was something important and he wasn’t at the Seventeenth Bureau.

"White Sakura has arrived."

Hearing Goo Yuexing’s words, Liuli Hong couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "If they’ve arrived, just monitor them."

"The one who came is Zangdao."

"Damn it!" Liuli Hong immediately cursed, his words laced with rage, "Those damned bastards from White Sakura!"

Zangdao was a Fourth-stage Mutant, the leader of White Sakura, whose Mutant Ability was "Illusion Body," incredibly tricky.

"They obviously want to draw me away from Lu Xiao," Liuli Hong narrowed his eyes, a menacing glint appearing.

On the other end of the phone, Goo Yuexing remained silent.

Indeed, Zangdao coming over now was clearly an attempt to restrain Liuli Hong.

By holding Liuli Hong back, it would make it far easier to dispatch a Third-stage Mutant to assassinate Lu Xiao.

"Where is he now?"

"He’s on a plane to Shengjing, following normal exchange protocols, impossible to stop," Goo Yuexing spoke with a somewhat heavy tone, clearly suppressing his anger.

"I’ll first take Lu Xiao back to the Seventeenth Bureau, then head to the airport," Liuli Hong immediately made a decision.

If Zangdao was coming, he had to monitor him the whole time.

Fourth-stage Mutants were essentially walking weapons.

"Alright, got it," Goo Yuexing responded, still sounding worried.

Even with Lu Xiao back at the Seventeenth Bureau, it wasn’t entirely safe. The place was secure mostly because of Liuli Hong’s presence.

Now that Liuli Hong was set to monitor Zangdao, the overall defense capability of the Seventeenth Bureau would significantly drop.

"I’m going to confront Zangdao," as Goo Yuexing prepared to hang up, Liuli Hong’s cold voice unexpectedly sounded again.

"Liuli..."

"It’s time to harden up," Liuli Hong’s voice carried a murderous aura, "and tell those idiots at the regulatory department that if they dare organize such crap exchanges again, I’ll personally chop them up."

With that, Liuli Hong hung up the phone.

"Let’s go, back to the Seventeenth Bureau."

"I’ll drive."

Twenty minutes later, Lu Xiao had arrived at the Seventeenth Bureau.

Goo Yuexing was waiting at the entrance.

"Take Lu Xiao to the safe room, don’t let him out until I return," Liuli Hong instructed before turning to leave.

Goo Yuexing didn’t delay, quickly leading Lu Xiao inside.

"Director, is it really necessary to be this alarmed? The weapon systems in our corridors are pretty fierce, a Third-stage Mutant might not even make it through," Lu Xiao murmured as he followed Goo Yuexing.

"What if they are already inside?"

Lu Xiao puffed his cheeks, internal threats now?

My information is exposed in a day or two, and now there are Mutants inside...

I feel like the Seventeenth Bureau is like a sieve, leaky everywhere.

"Director, speaking of which, shall we take this chance for a big purge?" Lu Xiao suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked.

Goo Yuexing stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Lu Xiao, "What do you propose?"

Lu Xiao immediately leaned in close to Goo Yuexing and began whispering.

Both the old fox and the young fox squinted their eyes, doubling down on their slyness, scheming outrageously.

"Then, let’s do it as we just discussed, and hit them hard," a few minutes later, Goo Yuexing nodded.

He had long wanted to deal with those Mutants who had infiltrated the Seventeenth Bureau.

Unfortunately, there had never been a good opportunity.

These Mutants, daring to infiltrate, usually carried some special Mutant Ability, making them tough to track.

But now, the opportunity was perfect.

Liuli Hong wasn’t around, and Lu Xiao, the bait, was enticingly fragrant; not many of the infiltrating Mutants could restrain themselves.
