Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: The Working Man Night Demon

The next morning, Lu Xiao walked out of his room looking refreshed and supremely confident.

Third-tier, huh? Anyone would be floating on cloud nine.

Now, Lu Xiao could say with great responsibility that he was basically safe, and his life was pretty much secured.

As long as he wasn’t besieged by a group of Third-stage Mutants, he had nothing to fear.

One-on-one, he was incredibly strong.

As for Fourth-stage Mutants, official ones from other countries wouldn’t dare come; it would be too easy for disputes to arise.

Unofficial Fourth-stage Mutants probably didn’t have the guts to come either, since they would definitely have to face Liuli Hong.

If they weren’t careful and got killed by Liuli Hong, they would suffer a great loss.

"Today’s a good day; everything I wish for will come true!" Lu Xiao hummed a tune to himself.

"You seem in a good mood?" Chen Fei called out with a laugh from the pavilion.

Chen Fei was tinkering with two large lumps of iron in her hands.

Under Chen Fei’s control, the iron lumps converged into a ball, then stretched and extended into two iron blades.

"Just a bit hungry. Let’s go get some breakfast," Lu Xiao waved to Chen Fei.

"Sure." Chen Fei stood up, casually tossing the iron lumps into the fish pond.

"My fish have suffered enough already," Lu Xiao said with a helpless expression.

Liuli Hong blowing up fish with Inner Qi, you smashing fish with iron lumps, can’t you Fourth Rank types hold back a little?

What have my fish ever done wrong!

"There’s too little metal in the yard; it’s not conducive to my abilities. I’ve been tossing and burying some around," Chen Fei explained, all smiles.

Faced with Chen Fei’s explanation, Lu Xiao couldn’t argue.

"Let’s eat, let’s eat."

...

Ten minutes later, the two were already sitting in a nearby breakfast joint.

The place wasn’t big – just a couple of old houses with their doors wide open, inside which lay seven or eight tables.

"Boss, two baskets of soup dumplings, two bowls of tofu pudding, and a serving of potstickers, please," Lu Xiao shouted to a middle-aged man at the entrance.

"Alright, just a moment, coming right up," the boss replied, getting started with the steamers.

As the steamers opened, steam billowed out, intertwining with the smells of cooking and savory aromas.

"Boss, a serving of each: soup dumplings, tofu pudding, potstickers," another person walked into the shop, ordering the same thing as Lu Xiao.

After entering, the man sat down opposite Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao didn’t mind; it was common to share tables as the shop was spacious.

"Hello, Lu Xiao. I’m the Night Demon," the man said, introducing himself to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao blinked. Night Demon? Who is that? Another assassin after me?

"Oh, wait a moment, let’s have a fight after breakfast," Lu Xiao nodded and suggested.

Night Demon: ???

"Me, the Night Demon, the assassin from last night, with the ability of Shadow."

Lu Xiao was startled and then smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, it was too dark last night; I didn’t see your face. So, what’s up? Our scenes are over, aren’t they?"

"I know, I came today... to make friends with you," Night Demon said sincerely.

He had thought it over all night; he was getting tired of being an assassin and needed to find something else to do.

Initially, he was planning to join the Civilization Book Society after "assassinating" Lu Xiao.

But after careful consideration, the Civilization Book Society was under Irina’s control, and that woman was too dangerous.

Moreover, Irina had always treated him as nothing more than a tool.

Having ruled out other Mutant Organizations, Night Demon thought of Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was a thorn in the side of all the major Mutant Organizations, which also just proved Lu Xiao’s boundless potential.

"Let’s cut to the chase; I want to work with you," Night Demon added.

Lu Xiao looked at Night Demon, his brow furrowed so deeply it formed a "river" character.

Wait... is this guy crazy?

Wasn’t it just a beating last night, and now he’s clinging to me?

"That’s fine," after a few seconds of thought, Lu Xiao nodded, "Start by joining my company."

"Fei, assign him a position at White Clothes Pavilion."

"Okay." Chen Fei didn’t raise any objections.

"I have only two requirements for you: first, don’t betray me; second, be obedient. Can you manage that?" Lu Xiao asked Night Demon.

"Yes!" Night Demon nodded immediately.

"Good. Then, you’re paying for breakfast," Lu Xiao said.

Night Demon: ???

I haven’t earned a dime yet, and now I’ve got to fork out for breakfast?

Could I really rely on Lu Xiao, he suddenly felt a bit anxious.
