Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: If You Had Told Me Earlier, I Wouldn’t Have Driven

Tia simply said this to indicate she already knew everything.

As for accountability and compensation, she had never thought about it.

First of all, having her crows roasted did cause some harm to her, but the harm wasn’t severe—it would heal in a few days.

Secondly, these old men were all from the Seventeenth Bureau.

And they were from the Azure Dragon Group of Seventeenth Bureau, no less.

Either Heavenly Man Second Rank or Heavenly Man Third Rank, asking them for compensation, heh.

"But speaking of which, Lu Xiao, why did you bring someone from the Holy Light Hall back with you?"

"They say they’re neutral, but in reality, they’re not that neutral, always sneaking around providing intelligence to others."

"Exactly, what’s that saying? Playing both sides... right?"

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes. Why am I taking these people back?

I have my reasons for bringing them back.

Could I even count on you guys?

Seeing a bird and shooting it, taking it down to roast, I didn’t see you pulling at the thread from the crow to find people.

I still have to do everything myself.

All day long, crying about how the Seventeenth Bureau is looked down upon, about how the Azure Dragons are faltering, about how the Seventeenth Bureau is in a tough spot—but you should be making an effort.

Just griping is useful for nothing.

Ever heard the saying? If you’re not strong, you need to be smart.

If you can’t beat them with strength, then use your brain to gain some strategic advantage.

"Stop bickering, go do what you need to do. You two, aren’t you security guards? Have you cleaned the yard? And you two, have you washed the dishes in the kitchen?" Lu Xiao waved his hand and laid it out for them.

Six people scattered instantly.

Can’t afford to provoke him, Lu Xiao is the precious asset of both the Seventeenth Bureau and Liuli Hong.

Whatever Lu Xiao says goes.

"It seems that the Seventeenth Bureau really does see you as the key to their rise," Tia couldn’t help but sigh.

These were all strong members of the Azure Dragon Group, yet none dared to utter a word against Lu Xiao’s scolding.

"What, am I not sufficient to be that key?" Lu Xiao retorted.

Tia fell silent.

Twenty-three years old, at the Second Rank of Heavenly Man, infuriatingly outrageous.

If she remembered correctly, before Lu Xiao, no one had ever achieved Heavenly Man status before the age of fifty.

Lu Xiao had more than halved that time frame.

The reason why all the major Mutant Organizations want to kill Lu Xiao is not because they fear a new Fourth Stage Heavenly Man will emerge within the Seventeenth Bureau. What they fear is that Lu Xiao will pioneer a method for rapid cultivation.

If that were the case, which Mutant Organization could stand against the Seventeenth Bureau?

Heavenly Men are already invincible within their own tier, and if it becomes younger, it would be truly dreadful.

"Because you are too crucial, I feel you won’t survive," said Tia, shaking her head.

Lu Xiao probably doesn’t know what he’s up against.

With the Superpower Alliance of Meili Country taking the lead, almost all the top-notch Mutant Organizations internationally are preparing to make a move against Lu Xiao.

"You don’t need to worry about that," Lu Xiao said with an even complexion.

You say I won’t survive?

"Give me the list, let me check if I can take care of a bunch of them first," Lu Xiao reached out to Tia again.

This time, Tia didn’t make any excuses and cooperated by handing over a USB drive to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao wasted no time and began browsing through it on a laptop he fetched from the room.

"Wow!"

"Seven Mutant Organizations, a whopping 82 people."

"Not bad, not bad."

Lu Xiao browsed and was impressed. These Mutant Organizations took him quite seriously; he was satisfied with that.

Out of the 82 people, as many as fifteen were Third-tier.

"This is what I’ve observed; there might still be others hidden," Tia reminded Lu Xiao.

"Hmm, this list is very useful to me, thank you very much. You’ll stay with me here during this time," Lu Xiao said as he closed the laptop.

Since it’s a kidnapping and coercion, might as well act the part.

"Alright," Tia didn’t refuse, as it was a good opportunity to stay in such a nice house for free, instead of paying for a hotel.

"By the way, do you want me to get you some birds to play with?"

"No need!"

"Really? How about I buy you an eagle to play with? Eagles are not only big and fierce, but also fast when sprinting."

A vein throbbed on Tia’s forehead, "Lu Xiao! I’ve lived in Hua Country for 7 years!"

"Should’ve said so earlier, then I wouldn’t have offered."

"Which room is mine?" Tia asked coldly.

"That one."

After Tia left, Lu Xiao also returned to his room and after thinking for a few minutes, he pulled out his cellphone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Pavilion Master Jiang Lan, how’s the reorganization of White Clothes Pavilion going?"

"Almost done?"

"Good, headquarters set up in Shengjing? That’s very good!"

"Chen Fei is coming in a few days? Perfect!"

"Oh, and I’m sending you some information. Help me keep an eye on these people, but remember, do not make any contact with them. If the surveillance is discovered, immediately stop it."

"Yeah, that’s all, I’ll hang up now."

After putting down the phone, a satisfied smile finally spread across Lu Xiao’s face.

The reorganization of White Clothes Pavilion was complete, and from now on, they could operate openly under the sun.

The intelligence system of White Clothes Pavilion is quite formidable domestically, fully capable of controlling the movements of these mutants.

Of course, what made Lu Xiao happiest was that Chen Fei would be coming to Shengjing.

That girl, both smart and fun...

With her help in devising strategies, things should be even more detailed.
