Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Industry Exemplar, Superpower Alliance

"You... are you really planning to bribe your semi-finals opponent with a Mutated Crystal?" Chen Fei was somewhat surprised.

Was Lu Xiao this generous?

A Mutated Crystal is worth at least several billion US dollars.

Although the money made from the betting odds at that time would be more, based on her understanding of Lu Xiao, he shouldn’t be the type to let others profit off him so easily.

"What are you thinking about." Lu Xiao shook his head.

Handing over a Mutated Crystal to someone unrelated? I, Lu Xiao, am not such a spendthrift.

"Then what do you plan to do?" Chen Fei couldn’t figure out Lu Xiao’s intentions.

Lu Xiao had mentioned before that using a Mutated Crystal last time to enhance her to the fourth rank was an accidental and coincidental event, and even under the same conditions, doing it a hundred times over wouldn’t likely produce a second Fourth-order.

"Before the semi-finals, enhance to the fourth rank," Lu Xiao said as he gently patted the box.

He and Liuli Hong had already researched it; his body was quite special, capable of absorbing Mutant Energy.

Since that was the case, he could use the Mutated Crystal to forcibly contain a massive amount of energy.

To gather Mutant Energy into a Mutated Crystal within his body was something he couldn’t and wouldn’t dare to try, but he could indeed use the Mutant Energy as if it were Inner Qi.

At that time, as long as he continuously compressed these Mutant Energies using the Locking Eight Gates, he could produce power close to that of a Fourth-order.

Chen Fei’s mouth hung open as she looked at Lu Xiao, her eyes filled with bafflement.

Could Lu Xiao also use a Mutated Crystal?

But wasn’t Lu Xiao a bona fide Hua Country person?

Wasn’t it said that bodies with Hua Country genes couldn’t contain Mutant Energy?

"Don’t look at me like that. I am indeed a Hua Country person; it’s just that my body is a bit unique, capable of containing Mutant Energy," Lu Xiao spread his hands and explained.

Honestly, he was genuinely puzzled.

He was completely clueless.

Liuli Hong’s guess was that his master had discovered some method that allowed the body of a Hua Country person to bear Mutant Energy and then used it on him.

But that was merely speculation; the specifics still needed to be asked of his master.

However, Xuanyuan Panshi, that old codger, was untraceable again, vanished without a trace.

"All right then, nothing to worry about, let’s go have fun," Chen Fei grabbed Lu Xiao’s arm.

"Okay."

...

In the following days, Lu Xiao cast aside all matters, simply taking Chen Fei from Paris and having fun along the way.

On the fifth day, the two finally arrived in Meili Country.

Chen Fei’s status as a Fourth-order Metal Control Mutant had long been known throughout the Mutant world.

So, as soon as Chen Fei and Lu Xiao got off the plane, they received a warm welcome from the Superpower Alliance of Meili Country.

"Ms. Chen Fei, hello, I am Edson from the Superpower Alliance." Leading the reception from the Superpower Alliance was a man around seventy years old with white hair and a agreeable demeanor.

Chen Fei looked at Edson and then nodded her head: "Edson Perry, fourth-order Earth Attribute Mutant, nicknamed Eternal Barrier."

Edson immediately waved his hands: "I dare not, dare not, my barrier would probably be penetrated in minutes in front of you."

Chen Fei gave Edson a probing look.

Although Edson was being humble, she still sensed some sort of threat emanating from the old man.

She wasn’t clear on how formidable Edson was, but he was definitely stronger than Irina’s uncle at the very least.

"So it’s the esteemed Mr. Edson, what an honor, what an honor. I didn’t expect the Superpower Alliance to give me such consideration and come to pick me up personally," Lu Xiao extended his hand to shake Edson’s.

Edson and several others from the Superpower Alliance could not help but chuckle dryly.

This guy Lu Xiao was indeed as shameless as described in the reports!

You think you’re worthy of being picked up by a fourth-order big shot? We came here because of Chen Fei, okay!

"By the way, Mr. Edson, has the hotel been arranged for us?" Lu Xiao continued to ask.

Edson’s smile remained unchanged on his face, but internally he was already cursing at Lu Xiao.

You come to Meili Country and you don’t book a hotel?

"Of course, the hotel has been arranged, please follow me," Edson immediately nodded and signaled the others to book the hotel.

As for Lu Xiao, he cheerfully followed behind Edson and nonchalantly pulled out his phone to dial a number.

"Hello, is this the Chavi International Hotel? Yes, I’d like to cancel my suite reservation, mm-hmm, cancel it for all five days."

"No no, there’s nothing wrong with your service, it’s just that someone else is covering my hotel stay."

After speaking, Lu Xiao hung up the phone.

In front of Lu Xiao, Edson finally couldn’t maintain his smile, his facial muscles twitching incessantly.

Lu Xiao was just too much!

You could’ve at least... made that call on the down-low.

Doing it this way makes us look like suckers.

"Mr. Edson, thank you for providing accommodations, it saves me a bit on hotel expenses. And let me tell you, your Meili Country hotels are pricy," Lu Xiao shouted another thank you towards Edson.

After Edson managed to regain his composure, he smiled again and turned around: "Mr. Lu Xiao, you’re too kind, it’s our host’s duty to look after our guests."

"True to the Superpower Alliance, so grand and considerate, such vision!"

"To think they’d cover both room and board, truly an exemplary model for the Mutant Organization!" Lu Xiao said, giving a thumbs up.

Edson felt like he was about to explode. Just now Lu Xiao had mooched off the hotel, and now he was doing the same with the food.

Despite hotels and meals not costing too much, the feeling of being taken advantage of like this made Edson very annoyed, extremely annoyed.

No wonder the Alliance had always wanted to get rid of Lu Xiao; the guy really was insufferable.

Not only because of Lu Xiao’s exceptional talent, but also because the guy was shameless and brazen.

Such a person, once they truly grew up, would likely be more troublesome than the entire Hua Country’s Seventeenth Bureau.
