Chapter 255: Chapter 255: I Need You to Marry Me

After bringing Lu Xiao back to the room, the two men in suits tactfully exited.

"Now, can we properly discuss cooperation?" Irina’s face bore a hint of triumph.

Lu Xiao snorted dismissively, "It’s just two Third-tier guys. I have a Fourth Stage Heavenly Man protecting me. As soon as I shout, you all are done for. After all, this is Hua Country, get it straight."

Irina nodded, Lu Xiao was not wrong.

After all, this was Hua Country, and Liuli Hong was there to protect Lu Xiao.

Although it was unknown where Liuli Hong was, as a Fourth Stage Heavenly Man, his appearances were unpredictable and he could show up at any moment.

"I know, that’s why you’re alright now," she said.

"Otherwise, you probably would have been crippled just now," Irina said with a smile.

Irina was quite confident in her two bodyguards in suits.

Together, their combat power was exceptionally formidable.

If they had really gone all out to kill Lu Xiao just now, there was a ninety percent chance that Lu Xiao would have ended up bitterly regretting it in the northwest.

Of course, after killing Lu Xiao, Liuli Hong was ninety percent likely to appear, and then they would likely meet Lu Xiao in the afterlife.

So, killing Lu Xiao was not worth it.

"I said, I’m open to discussing cooperation, but you need to show some sincerity, just one Mutated Crystal would suffice," Lu Xiao insisted, even more determinedly than before.

Now you are the one seeking cooperation, not me.

You want to gain something from me, definitely, you need to give something first.

"You want a Mutated Crystal, that’s fine. We cooperate, and all the cooperation’s profits go to me, then I can give you a Mutated Crystal for free," Irina proposed, raising an eyebrow.

Truth be told, aside from being expensive and representing the life of a Fourth-stage Mutant, Mutated Crystals aren’t that useful.

"You must be kidding!"

"Do I, Lu Xiao, look like a big fool to you?"

"I’ll have you know, Irina, that while I may have been slightly captivated by you back then, I was young and impulsive at the time, but now I’ve matured, I won’t fall for your tricks again."

"Anyway, I’ve laid out my terms. For us to cooperate, give me a Mutated Crystal first."

Lu Xiao slammed the table, making his point forcefully.

"Oh? You fell for me back then?" Irina asked, full of curiosity.

"Liking is liking, falling for is falling for, make it clear and don’t smear a good person," Lu Xiao huffed.

"So what was it back then, did you like or fall for me?" Irina countered.

Lu Xiao grinned, "Hey, you’re a foreign friend yet you’re teasing me; your Mandarin is improving."

"I’m not going to talk about these irrelevant things. If you don’t agree, I’m leaving, I’ve got other things to attend to," Lu Xiao threatened to leave again.

"Just a Mutated Crystal, right? I can give you that."

"But first, you have to agree to cooperate," Irina said, no longer bickering with Lu Xiao and adopting a serious tone.

Having said that, Irina took out a delicate little box from her person and placed it on the coffee table in front of her.

"Tell me, how should we cooperate?"

"Simple, you continue to bet, bet on your own survival."

"Of course, the Civilization Book Club will provide the betting money, and you get ten percent of the profits,"

Upon hearing Irina’s words, Lu Xiao immediately understood her intention.

This woman just wanted a piece of the action.

"Are you so sure I can survive? What if I die? You should know, there are many who bet on my death who have come to Hua Country," Lu Xiao shrugged and said.

"It doesn’t matter if you die, the ten billion US Dollars you bet can just be used to balance the accounts," Irina said coldly.

Lu Xiao almost cursed, well, the Civilization Book Club does know betting.

"However, it seems that’s not worth a Mutated Crystal, right?" Lu Xiao questioned after a few seconds.

The Civilization Book Club’s bet on his life and death currently amounted to somewhere between twenty to thirty billion US Dollars.

The price of a Mutated Crystal, worth well over a hundred billion US Dollars, still held its value.

"So, this is just the first cooperation; there is also a second part. If you agree to both, then I can give you the Mutated Crystal."

"I figured as much. Come on then, what’s the second cooperation?" Lu Xiao nodded.

"I need you to marry me."
