Chapter 254: Chapter 254: You Can Repay Me With Something Else

The next morning, Lu Xiao got a call from Irina.

She said she would arrive at Shengjing Airport by noon.

Lu Xiao didn’t delay. After washing up and having breakfast, he drove to the airport.

At the same time, he also arranged a luxurious hotel suite for Irina.

If you want to fleece someone, you first need to invest some money.

There’s no reward without a bit of sacrifice.

At eleven, Lu Xiao saw Irina coming out with the flow of people at the arrival gate.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, and long legs—she was pale, beautiful, and tall.

Almost eighty percent of the men at the arrival gate were looking at Irina, some openly and some furtively.

"Hey, Lu!" Irina spotted Lu Xiao too.

After calling out, Irina dragged her suitcase over to Lu Xiao and gave him a big hug.

Feeling her full embrace, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Good lord, Western girls really are... enthusiastic!

Of course, Lu Xiao also received looks of jealousy and envy from the eighty percent of the male onlookers.

"Lu, you’re still as handsome as ever. No, even more so than before. You’ve become more manly," Irina said, sizing up Lu Xiao after they parted.

"Really? I think so too," Lu Xiao nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

Irina’s smile grew even brighter.

"So, dear Major, where do you plan to take me first?"

"I’m a bit hungry. Shengjing has lots of delicious things to offer. Shall we go eat something first?" Irina looped her arm through Lu Xiao’s, acting like a tourist.

Lu Xiao pursed his lips. You’re doing a good job of playing the part.

"Let’s go. I’ll take you to the hotel to drop off your luggage first," Lu Xiao said, taking the large suitcase from Irina’s hand.

"Oh, our dear Major has become quite the gentleman," Irina chuckled coyly.

This caused passersby in the airport to wish they could stab Lu Xiao.

Half an hour later, Lu Xiao brought Irina to the hotel room.

He had booked a top-floor suite in a five-star luxury hotel. The room was spacious with a spectacular view. Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the scenery of Shengjing was laid out before them.

"Dear Major, you’ve gone to quite an expense," Irina stretched by the window, her figure both perfect and hot.

"It’s okay. You can repay me in other ways," Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow suggestively.

Irina paused for a moment, then her lips curled into a subtle, cold smirk.

"So, dear Major, how would you like me to repay you?" Irina walked to the bed, casually lied down, propped her head with one hand, her lips slightly parted, seductive and captivating.

Lu Xiao licked his lips and took two steps forward, sitting on the sofa opposite the bed.

"Simple, give me the Mutated Crystal," Lu Xiao said, looking at Irina with a beaming smile.

Rather than slowly beating around the bush with Irina, he preferred to cut to the chase.

On the bed, Irina suddenly sat up. Her flirtatious and sultry look vanished, replaced by a superior and aloof demeanor.

Feeling the drastic change in Irina’s aura, Lu Xiao confirmed his suspicions.

Indeed, this woman was definitely a top executive at the Civilization Book Club.

Otherwise, she couldn’t possibly have such a commanding presence.

"It seems the intelligence capabilities of the Seventeenth Bureau are more formidable than I thought."

"To find out I’m the President of the Civilization Book Club—well done," Irina stood up and huffed coldly at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao: (゜゜)??

You’re the President of the Civilization Book Club? Damn, I thought you were just a high-level executive or something.

"What’s with that expression? You didn’t know?" Irina was also baffled by Lu Xiao’s reaction.

"I had no idea. I just knew you were part of the Civilization Book Club. Yesterday I had someone call the Civilization Book Club to buy a Mutated Crystal, and you answered the phone," Lu Xiao spread his hands.

Irina was dumbfounded. Damn! So that’s what happened!

She had just blown her own cover.

"Let’s not talk about that. What brings a big President like you to see me? Don’t tell me you want to kill me and then make a fortune for the Book Society?" Suddenly, Lu Xiao stood up and took a couple of steps back.

Irina bit her lip, thinking Lu Xiao had gone mad. If I wanted to kill you, would I come personally?

Besides, the Civilization Book Club makes money whether you’re dead or alive.

"I’m here to discuss a partnership with you," Irina took a deep breath and said.

"Fine, but first give me a Mutated Crystal as a sign of your sincerity, or else let’s not talk," Lu Xiao reached out his hand to Irina.

Irina’s face darkened. Fack! She hadn’t realized before just how shameless Lu Xiao could be.

Mutated Crystals are worth at least tens of billions of US dollars without overpricing, and you just expect one for free? How is your face so big?

"Impossible!"

"Then there’s nothing to discuss, I’m leaving."

"You wouldn’t dare!"

Lu Xiao walked straight to the door, then opened it, "Hey, guess whether I dare or not!"

With that, Lu Xiao walked out of the room.

Inside the room, Irina scoffed and began counting to herself, "Three, two, one!"

No sooner had she reached one, Lu Xiao was shoved back into the room by two stony-faced men in suits.

"You’ve gone too far, Irina," Lu Xiao complained, clearly annoyed.

These two suited men were both Third-tier, and they seemed no weaker than the Left Island Army.

If it came to a fight, Lu Xiao feared he would end up dead or severely injured.
