Chapter 248: Chapter 248: The girl I liked years ago is coming to visit me

Liuli Hong’s mouth gradually widened.

Next to him, Tia was so scared that she couldn’t even control the bird.

life-and-death situations, is Lu Xiao joking?

If it’s not a joke, then what kind of brutal life has he... experienced?

Facing death every day for four consecutive years, wouldn’t anyone go insane?

"Well, my master is just a bit stricter with me," Lu Xiao explained with a shrug.

Liuli Hong and Tia rolled their eyes almost simultaneously.

Is this being strict? This is blatantly trying to kill you, right?

Which normal person would let their disciple face life and death every day?

"Enough talk, it’s already three o’clock, it’s time to pick up Ali from school. Let’s go, let’s go."

Lu Xiao waved his hand, got in the car, and then hurried back to the city with Tia and Liuli Hong.

...

"This can’t be real, can it?!"

"What a joke, a Heavenly Man who’s just entered the Second Order defeating a Third-tier Wind Element Mutant? I don’t believe it!"

"Is this the live broadcast from a Bird Tamer of the Holy Light Hall?"

"I highly suspect the Holy Light Hall and the Civilization Book Club collaborated to scam my money."

On a certain island, inside the headquarters of Civilization Book Club, the hall was noisy and hundreds of Mutants were in uproar.

Just then, the screen in the hall had live-streamed the fight between Lu Xiao, Song Benxiong, and the Left Island Army. Everyone could accept Lu Xiao defeating Song Benxiong because they’re both Second Order, and Heavenly Man are naturally a bit stronger.

But when they saw Lu Xiao kill the Left Island soldier, everyone couldn’t contain themselves.

According to the information, Lu Xiao was only a novice in the Second Order.

The Left Island soldier? One of the best among the Third Order.

Moreover, the Left Island soldier was a Wind Element Mutant, known for being unpredictable and variable.

Among all Elemental abilities, Wind Element definitely ranks in the top five.

With such a disparity in power, logically it should have been the Left Island soldier who killed Lu Xiao without any doubt, yet the reality was the exact opposite.

Who could stand this!

"I told you the odds were off this time, but you guys wouldn’t believe me."

"I remember the odds for Lu Xiao to survive were one to seven, but three days before, it suddenly became 1.7."

"Damn it, those bastards from Civilization Book Club!"

"Come on, let’s see the list of people who bet on Lu Xiao surviving, I want to see who managed to get the odds down to 1.7!"

"Heh, probably Civilization Book Club itself placed the bet."

Curses and noises kept rising, with some even starting to smash things in the hall.

Meanwhile, in the top-floor office of the Civilization Book Club headquarters, a woman stood in front of a huge glass window, quietly staring at the endless ocean.

"President, it’s mayhem downstairs, and it’s getting troublesome," a blond middle-aged man said as he bowed respectfully behind the woman.

Hearing the man’s voice, the woman turned around.

The woman appeared young, about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.

With brown hair, blue eyes, and skin both pale and luminous.

The woman’s features were very angular, as if carved out.

"Release the full list of bettors and their bet amounts."

"President, that’s... against the regulations."

"I am the president, my word is the regulation. What’s the matter, Batisan, are you trying to challenge me?"

"I wouldn’t dare."

"Get it done."

"Yes!"

Quickly, Batisan left the office.

The woman picked up her phone and dialed a number.

As soon as the call connected, the woman’s innate coldness quickly dissipated, replaced by a radiant smile.

"Hey, Major!"

"I’m coming to Hua Country the day after tomorrow to have some fun, how about you be my tour guide?"

"Shengjing? Okay, I look forward to seeing you."

...

In the courtyard, Lu Xiao put down his phone with an expression partly excited and partly strange.

The woman who had called him was named Irina, whom he had met roughly three years ago.

Back then, he was on a mission in a small town on the border of a neighboring country, and Irina was the only one in that town who understood the language of Hua Country, which made her the translator for their task force.

Irina was beautiful, and more or less, all those animals in the task force had some interest in her, including himself.

After all, who doesn’t like a pretty girl!

Besides, Irina was not only beautiful but also had a presence and talent.

However, after the mission ended, they left the town, and he hadn’t seen Irina since then.

"An unexpected reunion after so many years, and she’s managed to get my number, quite interesting," Lu Xiao squinted, a flash of cold light flickering in his eyes.
