Chapter 239: Chapter 239: You’ve Prepared the Grill and Cumin

"It’s uncertain, life and death are the hardest to predict," Lu Xiao shook his head, his eyes looking strange.

Considering you’re a Second-Order Mutant, how can you ask such a dumb question?

Whether it’s a Heavenly Man or a Mutant, who can guarantee they’ll always be safe?

Even Liuli Hong can’t, Fourth Rank is strong, but if seriously trapped, the odds are more likely bad than good.

"Then why did you still bet a hundred billion US dollars that you would survive?" Tia frowned, wondering what on earth Lu Xiao was thinking.

Lu Xiao frowned too, have your Mutant brains deteriorated to this extent?

"Could it be that I bet on my own death?"

"Of course, you bet on surviving, winning nets seven hundred billion, and if you lose... well, if you lose, then you lose. After all, money’s no use to you when you’re dead."

Lu Xiao’s response caused Tia’s brain to experience a brief glitch.

Eh?

Well, that makes sense, doesn’t it?

"But speaking of which, won’t the Civilization Book Club renege on the deal?" Lu Xiao’s only concern now was whether he could get the money after winning.

"No, the Civilization Book Club’s betting has been around for many years, and there’s never been an instance where they didn’t pay up."

"Besides, they are the bookies, do you think a bookie would let themselves lose money?"

"Even if you win, it’s actually the money of those who bet on your death."

Lu Xiao clicked his tongue, apparently, that made sense.

But speaking of which, my hundred billion US dollars managed to push my odds down only to 1.7.

It seems that there’s a sizable amount of money betting on my death.

At least more than seven hundred billion US dollars.

This way, even if I win, the Civilization Book Club won’t lose money.

You Mutants sure are rich.

"Let’s get back to business, you definitely have a list of people watching me, right? Hand it over," Lu Xiao held out his hand to Tia.

Since Tia is a Second-order Bird Control Mutant, aside from monitoring herself, she must be keeping tabs on other Mutants around her as well.

She definitely has the list, the question is whether she’s willing to give it.

"No way."

"I’ll pay."

"Even with money, no. We, Holy Light Hall, are neutral. If I give you the list, it’s like taking sides, which will cause trouble for the Holy Light Hall," Tia was adamant.

Lu Xiao nodded, "Alright, I can understand your predicament."

"Thank you," Tia sighed in relief, Lu Xiao is pretty decent.

"You’re welcome. Now, hand over the list or I’ll blow your brains out," Lu Xiao, out of nowhere, had already drawn a gun and pressed it against Tia’s waist.

Tia became completely numb, this isn’t, can it really work this way?

"This is a bustling area! The Mutant Organization has rules, we can’t affect ordinary people, you can’t do this."

Lu Xiao snorted, then threw a batch of documents onto the table.

Tia immediately noticed the police badge on top of the stack of documents.

"You’re a criminal, I’m a cop. Me catching you while you try to escape, and me shooting you is perfectly justifiable," Lu Xiao shrugged.

What do you think this is?

This is Hua Country! I’m with Seventeenth Bureau, a legitimate public servant, dealing with you is a piece of cake.

Tia was completely crushed.

Truthfully, this was her first time encountering someone like Lu Xiao.

His thinking is outside the box, and he doesn’t play by the rules.

The key issue is, she’s powerless against him.

According to intelligence, Lu Xiao is a Second Order Heavenly Man.

As a Second-order Bird Control Mutant, she stood no chance against a Second Order Heavenly Man.

Even among combat-type Mutants, it’s difficult for those of the same order to withstand a Heavenly Man.

In terms of combat, Heavenly Men of the same order are the strongest, it’s internationally recognized.

"How about this, just abduct me," Tia suggested after a few seconds of thought.

"You kidnap me, then find the list on me."

"This way, it counts as being forced, and it doesn’t count as taking sides."

Lu Xiao put away his gun and documents, you should have just said so in the first place.

Ten minutes later, Lu Xiao returned to the courtyard with Tia.

All the old men and women were stunned, what with all that was going on, Lu Xiao was still flirting, and with a foreign woman at that.

"Lu Xiao, you really should exercise some restraint."

"Young man, you should know moderation."

"I heard foreign women have good stamina; Kid Lu, I’ll stir fry some kidney for you tomorrow."

Listening to the old men and women’s prattle, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

What are you all even talking about, can’t you be serious?

I said you Liuli were a super community center, no usual elderly person behaves like you do.

"This is Tia, from Holy Light Hall."

"That crow this afternoon was controlled by her," Lu Xiao explained.

Then, a group of elders immediately widened their eyes, three of them even covered their mouths.

That crow, they had roasted and eaten it.

"No need to cover your mouths, I could see and hear everything before the crow died, you guys prepared the grill and the cumin," Tia glanced at the three elders covering their mouths.
