Chapter 266: Chapter 266: A Remarkable Person Emerges from the Guardian Bird

Hearing Lu Xiao call the owls stupid birds, Tia was immediately displeased.

"You’re the stupid bird. They are all my friends, the big one is called Mao Mao, and the small one is called Tou Tou."

Lu Xiao’s toes curled up, no wonder the Mutant’s Handbook said that those who commanded birds were often extraordinary indeed.

In previous chats, he had heard a few old men and women in the yard mention that every few years, the Guardian Bird series would produce some remarkable people.

Some would become sworn friends with birds, others would bond with them in love, and there was even a notorious "Bird Gatherer." It was said that the brother had defiled countless birds, hundreds of them.

"Alright, alright. Could you please ask your two sisters to come down?" Lu Xiao immediately changed his tone, better not to provoke Tia, or she might have the birds poop on his car every day, which would be disgusting.

"They are sisters!"

"Alright, alright, sisters. Sister Mao Mao and Sister Tou Tou."

"That’s more like it." Tia nodded in satisfaction, then let the two owls land on the railing, their heads turned toward Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao cleared his throat and then started yelling at the two owls: "What’s the matter with you Mutant Organizations? Can’t you send someone formidable? Would it kill you? I’m telling you, if you have the guts, let a Fourth Rank come and kill me; if not, then here’s what I, Lu Xiao, have to say, come as many as you want, and as many will die."

At the same time, in a base of the Civilization Book Club on a solitary island, Lu Xiao’s voice echoed through the hall.

On the giant projection screen in the hall, Lu Xiao’s arrogant expression and attitude were crystal clear.

After a brief silence, the whole hall erupted.

"I’m going to kill this bastard!"

"I’ve never seen such a shameless creature!"

"The arrogance is extreme, nobody stop me, I’m flying to Hua Country tonight."

"Does he really think he’s a Fourth Rank? What a joke!"

"And that Royce, he’s just a coward. Just because Lu Xiao says he’s a Fourth Rank, he is one? Think with your feet, and it’s still impossible!"

"Royce is of the Water Attribute..."

"Damn, then never mind."

In the midst of the heated crowd, someone suddenly rushed up to the high platform at the front of the hall.

"Everyone, listen to me!"

The hall gradually quieted down, and everyone looked at the middle-aged man on the high platform.

"I am Qian Benlang, from White Sakura, a Third-tier Earth Attribute Mutant," the man introduced himself.

A Third-tier Earth Attribute Mutant, that’s definitely a top-notch expert.

"I have a suggestion."

"How about we all chip in and hire a real assassin to take out Lu Xiao?"

"The people from the major Mutant Organizations are too mild, and after all, they have to consider Liuli Hong’s existence."

As soon as Qian Benlang’s suggestion was made, many people’s eyes lit up.

"Are there any good assassins in Hua Country?" someone asked.

"Yes!" Qian Benlang nodded, "As far as I know, Night Demon is in Hua Country."

At the mention of Night Demon, almost everyone took a deep breath.

If it were that lunatic, maybe he really could take out Lu Xiao.

"Good, I’m in for a million US dollars!" someone in the crowd shouted out loud.

Where there’s one, there’s more. More and more people contributed money, and the accumulated amount grew larger and larger.

"The total is two hundred and thirty million US dollars. I think that’s a price Night Demon simply cannot refuse, no matter what."

"I’ll contact Night Demon right now." Qian Benlang took out his phone and dialed a number.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Speak!" a cold, indifferent voice came from the handset.

"Night Demon, you’re in Hua Country, right? Two hundred and thirty million US dollars for Lu Xiao’s life. Deal?" Qian Benlang skipped the small talk and went straight to the point.

The place was now silent; everyone was listening intently.

"Deal. Money in the account, and he dies tonight."

"Great! Straightforward. Account number, I’m transferring the money now, thirty million in advance, the rest after the job is done."

"Agreed."

The moment the phone hung up, the entire hall erupted into vigorous cheers.

"Damn it, this arrogant trash is finally going to die!"

"With Night Demon on the job, Lu Xiao is as good as dead."

"I remember, wasn’t Night Demon already Third-tier ten years ago?"

"The number of Third-tiers who have died at the hands of Night Demon...if not ten, then at least eight."

"Guys, no more talk, I’m placing another ten million on Lu Xiao’s death tonight."

Then, the whole hall got busy again, as nearly everyone was frantically betting on Lu Xiao’s death that night.
