Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 289: Fourth Rank, Spear of Judgment

Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Fourth Rank, Spear of Judgment

"Hey, don’t all go quiet on me. Keep it coming."

"Or how about we take this outside to the square? It’s bigger out there, and if all of you attack at once, you can let loose without restraint," Lu Xiao taunted further.

I can’t allow only you to provoke and not me to draw hatred.

On the red carpet, everyone’s faces turned rather unsightly.

Lu Xiao was just too good at getting under people’s skin.

Without ganging up, no one was confident they could take down Lu Xiao.

But to actually gang up would be somewhat of a blow to the Mertens family’s reputation.

So, it was quite uncomfortable.

As for going outside to the square, that was even less desirable.

If you lose face behind closed doors, it’s just your own business, but if it happens out there, who knows how people will mock you once it gets out.

"Lu Xiao, bring it on! I’ll have a go at you!" Another person stood out and charged at Lu Xiao after shouting.

Of course, the outcome was much like Censo’s; basically, as fast as they charged, they were sent flying back just as quickly.

"I’m next!"

"And me."

"Lu Xiao, don’t get too cocky."

In the end, a total of eight Third-stage Mutants attacked Lu Xiao one after another.

As for Lu Xiao, he stayed mostly in place, dispatching each with a single move.

Close-range attackers were sent flying with a kick, while ranged ones were cut down with a slash of Inner Qi Blade.

Absolute domination.

"Anyone else? If not, get off the red carpet!" After waiting for two minutes and seeing no one else rushing forward, Lu Xiao yelled at those who were still standing on the red carpet.

Everyone immediately snapped back to reality and swiftly jumped to the sides of the carpet.

If eight Third-stage Mutants couldn’t stop Lu Xiao, then the remaining Second Order ones were even less likely to stand a chance.

Better to be aware and step aside.

You just have to deal with the frustration inside, what else can you do! You can’t fight and win...

With Lu Xiao’s strength, it seemed only a Fourth Rank powerhouse could possibly make him concede defeat.

But how could a Fourth Rank powerhouse make a move in such a setting? Even if they won, what would it amount to?

Besides offending the Mertens family, it wouldn’t serve any purpose.

"Let’s go, we shall continue," Lu Xiao turned to look at Irina.

Irina also very cooperatively stepped forward and hooked her arm through Lu Xiao’s.

"Not bad at all, Lu Xiao. You put on quite a show," Irina whispered a compliment to him.

The more domineering Lu Xiao was, the less resistance she would face in her family in the future.

"Just average, the basics. It’s a shame no Fourth Order came out; otherwise, I would have really given you something to see," Lu Xiao chuckled.

Irina rolled her eyes. Yeah, right.

If a Fourth Order stepped in, wouldn’t you be beaten like a dog?

There’s a fundamental difference between Third-tier and Fourth-tier, mind you.

Even the strongest Third-tier is nothing but a chicken against a Fourth-tier.

"In that case, allow me to enlighten everyone," a cold and commanding voice suddenly filled the room.

On the red carpet, out of nowhere, a middle-aged man had appeared.

The man was nearly two meters tall and wore a suit. His bursting muscles were clearly visible even though they were covered by fabric.

In front of the man stood a golden spear.

The tail of the spear still burned with a touch of golden flame, looking both sacred and powerful.

"Holy shit, isn’t that the Spear of Judgment?"

"Civilization Book Club, Spear of Judgment proprietor Reno Mertens."

"Now this is getting interesting."

Nobody expected Reno Mertens to suddenly show up on the red carpet.

After all, Reno Mertens was Irina’s uncle, and her position as the head of the Civilization Book Society was supported by Reno from behind.

With Reno stepping in to challenge, does it mean he also disapproves of the marriage between Irina and Lu Xiao?

Irina looked at Reno, her eyes filled with questions.

"Irina, Lu Xiao is not suitable for you. I hope you will consider this more carefully," Reno Mertens sighed softly.

He didn’t want to play the villain, but there were things he had to do.

Irina marrying Lu Xiao was not a good thing for the Civilization Book Society.

If the news got out, the entire Book Society would face a massive inquisition.

Many had lost money betting on Lu Xiao, and now with the Society’s president marrying him, everyone would think the Society had set up a scam for money.

Gamblers might be foolish, but when they go crazy, they can be frightening.

If it prompted public outrage, even he might not be able to suppress it.
