Chapter 241: Chapter 241: I’m Afraid of Death, Scared to Death

Two days later, Lu Xiao, bored out of his mind, fed fish in his yard.

It must be said, those Mutants sure have some patience.

So far, not a single one has come.

"Are all you Mutants this cowardly?" Lu Xiao turned his head to look at Tia in the pavilion.

Tia gave Lu Xiao a sidelong glance, "Is this being cowardly? Don’t you know what’s set up in your yard?"

Two Heavenly Men Third Rank, four Heavenly Men Second Rank, oh, and Liuli Hong is still here...

Who would dare to come?

And for what? To be beaten to death on the spot?

Mutants might indeed be influenced by some negative effects when their abilities manifest, but those are just influences; they don’t drop our IQ to zero.

"If you put it that way, that’s also true."

"But why don’t they make a move when I’m taking Ali to and from school every day?" Lu Xiao continued to inquire.

Tia didn’t even want to talk to Lu Xiao.

Where is your yard? In the center of Shengjing City!

Make a move? Go ahead, make a move.

If an ordinary person gets hurt, the higher-ups in Hua Country aren’t vegetarians.

The Seventeenth Bureau might not be capable, but Hua Country’s military strength is fierce; who would dare to cause trouble.

"Oh, right, can’t hurt ordinary people." Lu Xiao quickly figured it out on his own.

"In that case, I can only go a bit farther for a stroll."

"Sure, while the weather’s nice today, go out for a trip."

After speaking, Lu Xiao set down the fish food container and picked up the car keys before leaving.

Tia immediately followed, heading straight to the passenger seat once they got to the garage.

Lu Xiao: ???

"I... will livestream for a bit."

"Does livestreaming pay well?"

"It does... I guess."

"Give me half."

"You’re robbing me, and besides, you have so much money!" Tia was close to losing it. This Lu Xiao guy was simply a stingy ghost.

"No pay, no ride," Lu Xiao pouted. Sure, I’m wealthy, but the sense of achievement from making money can’t be compared to just having it.

It’s like a morally upright, rich second-generation heir. Wealthy? Sure, wealthy enough not to run out of money even if they loafed around for a lifetime. But are they happy? They might be, but it wouldn’t be true happiness.

True happiness comes from working hard to make money, from earning it with one’s own hands. That’s the real deal.

"One livestream session pays fifty thousand dollars; I’ll give you twenty thousand."

"Fine," Lu Xiao didn’t argue further. He didn’t care if it was more or less, but a share had to be given.

About half an hour later, Lu Xiao was already driving on the outer ring expressway.

Only when he saw the lush green fields did he slow down and exit the expressway.

Truthfully, he didn’t know where he was, just that the road sign read: Qitun Town.

Whether it was within the bounds of Shengjing or not, he had no idea, but the environment looked quite nice.

As far as the eye could see, there were vast fields, with clusters of houses among them, all self-built, including bungalows and two or three-story buildings.

Beyond the toll station, once on the national road, Lu Xiao zigzagged and stopped the car right on the ridge of the field.

He didn’t get out of the car but instead took out his phone to send a message to Jiang Lan.

Soon, Jiang Lan’s reply arrived.

Following Lu Xiao’s car were seven vehicles, and as for the total number of people, it was unclear, but a rough estimate was over fifteen.

"Seven cars, my goodness, all seven Mutant Organizations are here," Lu Xiao murmured to himself.

According to the list provided by Tia, so far, there are seven Mutant Organizations eyeing him.

"Or... you could just run," Tia suggested after taking a glance at Lu Xiao.

Though Lu Xiao’s life or death didn’t have much to do with her, to give credit where it’s due, Lu Xiao was actually quite decent.

He let her stay in a big mansion for free, including three meals a day.

"Run why? It’s the perfect chance to test out your Mutants’ tricks," Lu Xiao grinned with a smile.

He hadn’t truly fought with a Mutant before. While he had killed several in the Seventeenth Bureau using the security room, all those were thanks to the room’s weapons.

"Aren’t you afraid of dying?" Tia genuinely didn’t understand Lu Xiao. What on earth was going through this guy’s mind?

Over fifteen Mutants are coming to intercept you. Can’t you be a little more cautious?

"What are you talking about? Who isn’t afraid of dying, you think I’m insane?" Lu Xiao also frowned. He genuinely didn’t understand how Tia’s mind worked—it was downright foolish.

What kind of silly questions was she asking?

I’m mentally healthy and lead a happy life. How could I not fear death... I’m scared stiff.
