Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 233: Leaving the Seventeenth Bureau

Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Leaving the Seventeenth Bureau

The alert at the Seventeenth Bureau wasn’t officially lifted until Liuli Hong returned.

Once all the guards had left, Liuli Hong made his way to the security room’s entrance.

The door to the security room was already open, with Lu Xiao dragging out corpses.

One after another.

Watching this eerie and chilling scene, Liuli Hong couldn’t help but shiver.

I told you to hide in the security room, not to throw a corpse party in there!

"Damn, finally finished moving them, exhausted to death." After moving out the last body, Lu Xiao stopped to complain.

"Team Leader Liuli is back, huh? How about it, Goo Yuexing and I made a pretty good haul this time, right?" Goo Yuexing, having tidied up the security room, also came out and started to boast upon seeing Liuli Hong.

Liuli Hong looked at Lu Xiao then at Goo Yuexing, thinking: great, a young schemer and an old fox teaming up.

"My own gains aren’t bad either." Saying this, Goo Yuexing threw a finger toward the pile of bodies.

"Took a finger off Zangdao, that garbage. Can’t win, so he runs, huh!"

Goo Yuexing’s smile brightened even more at Liuli Hong’s words.

Liuli truly lives up to his name; strong indeed!

Zangdao was White Sakura’s top expert, a Fourth-order Gold Attribute Mutant.

It’s well-known that Gold Attribute Mutants have the strongest offensive ability among all mutants, but even so, he ended up being chased off by Liuli Hong.

Although a Fourth Stage Heavenly Man and a Fourth-stage Mutant are both Fourth-tier, the Heavenly Man is, comparatively, stronger.

Of course, Liuli Hong’s swordsmanship was one key to his victory.

"We don’t need to worry about Zangdao anymore; he’s probably rushing back to Japan now," Goo Yuexing said, waving his hand.

Liuli Hong paused slightly, sensing there was a situation developing.

"Oh, by the way, the White Sakura Base just suffered an unidentified attack, a real explosive one at that."

"That fireball was huge."

"No idea how their underground base fared, but I guess there must be a collapse."

An unidentified attack?

Liuli Hong looked at Goo Yuexing and then at Lu Xiao, thinking: Bullshit ’unidentified’ attack.

You two must be behind it.

But... nicely done.

"So, did the good person who attacked White Sakura leave any evidence?" Liuli Hong asked.

"None!" Lu Xiao and Goo Yuexing replied almost simultaneously.

Liuli Hong rolled his eyes; could you two be any more obvious?

"Never mind that. How much longer do you need to advance to the Heavenly Man Third-tier?" Liuli Hong abruptly changed the subject.

Lu Xiao blinked several times, wondering why he would suddenly ask that.

I’ve only been at the Seventeenth Bureau for a few days; you’re that anxious already?

"No idea, not sure, can’t tell. It might take some time; what’s up?" Lu Xiao spoke quickly, feeling that Liuli Hong’s sudden interest in his power level was not for anything good.

"I’ve been thinking, it’s not beneficial to keep you confined to the Seventeenth Bureau."

"Without pressure, there’s no drive to move forward."

"What I mean is, I’ll protect you from the shadows, but you’ll operate freely. Unless your life is in danger, I won’t intervene."

"This way, you can advance to the Heavenly Man Third-tier as quickly as possible."

Before Lu Xiao could respond to Liuli Hong’s words, Goo Yuexing was already panicking, "No way! Absolutely not! Liuli, don’t mess around."

Goo Yuexing was truly alarmed; it was clear that Liuli Hong was set on forcing growth.

"If it’s slower, let it be slower. Even if it takes five or ten years, we can wait." Goo Yuexing spoke firmly; after enduring frustration for so many years, a few more wouldn’t matter.

Lu Xiao must not come to any harm.

They finally had their Chosen Son, and if something were to happen to him, they wouldn’t just be waiting ten years, it would be much worse.

"But I can’t wait that long," Liuli Hong shook his head.

Even though he had just run after Zangdao, even though he had taken a finger from him, he could already feel a weariness in his body from exerting full strength.

As time passes, his physical functions would deteriorate, and his strength would decline.

And yet, whether it’s Zangdao or other Fourth-stage Mutants, most are only in their fifties or sixties.

When his own body completely fails, when he’s no longer able to stop them, who will stand alone at that time? Who will support the whole Seventeenth Bureau?

Right now, only Lu Xiao seems to fit the bill, and it could only be Lu Xiao.

So now, Lu Xiao needed to not just step into the Heavenly Man Third-tier, but the Fourth-tier!

Only with a new Fourth Stage Heavenly Man would the Seventeenth Bureau truly be on solid ground.
