Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Agree with Lu Xiao, Then Kill Lu Xiao

After a brief discussion, the top executives of the Superpower Alliance immediately dialed Edson’s number.

"What now!" Edson’s voice, slightly impatient, came through the phone quickly.

"Mr. Edson, there’s a problem with Lu Xiao, a big problem."

"Yeah, Mr. Edson, although we don’t know the specifics, Lu Xiao definitely has something up his sleeve."

"Lu Xiao just said that even if Liuli Hong stood in front of him today, he could take him down."

"Mr. Edson, I think we should play it safe. Lu Xiao wants five Mutated Crystals, we might as well agree to it for now and then gather them from around, we should be able to scrape together five."

At the edge of the arena, listening to the babble from the phone, Edson’s face grew darker.

"Have your brains been kicked by a donkey?"

"You believe him when Lu Xiao says he can take down Liuli Hong? Anyone with a bit of sense would know that’s impossible!"

"That’s Liuli Hong, for God’s sake, someone who could slash me into pieces with one stroke."

Edson roared a few times outright.

Sure, Lu Xiao is hiding some tricks, I know that much.

But saying he can take down Liuli Hong? Isn’t that just pure bullshitting?

You only know Liuli Hong as a Mutant and the strongest in the Heavenly Man Domain, but you have no idea how powerful that old geezer really is.

But I know, I’ve fought Liuli Hong.

The feeling after fighting him? Utterly unmatchable.

Liuli Hong is too strong, especially when he draws his sword, even I as a Fourth Rank feel he’s outrageous.

He figures that it would take at least three Mutants on his level teaming up to have a chance of beating Liuli Hong.

So, in Edson’s view, what Lu Xiao said about taking down Liuli Hong is utter nonsense.

In this world, no one can defeat Liuli Hong in a solo fight, not even Chen Fei.

"It’s true, Mr. Edson, Lu Xiao forgot to hang up the phone, we heard him tell Chen Fei himself."

"And Chen Fei also confirmed Lu Xiao’s strength, saying that with his current ability, Lu Xiao is indeed invincible."

"Mr. Edson, we need to be cautious, two hundred billion US dollars, we can’t afford to lose that."

Edson fell into silence, not even knowing what to say anymore.

He couldn’t promise anything for sure because, after all, if Lu Xiao really had the means to beat him, then the whole mess would fall squarely on his head.

He couldn’t say to postpone the fight either, as that would mean a total loss of face for him, Edson, and even if he later defeated Lu Xiao, people might say he used underhanded methods.

"I don’t care how you negotiate with Lu Xiao, whether he agrees or not, in five minutes, I’ll be on stage," Edson said before hanging up the phone.

He had made a concession, as for how the Superpower Alliance’s top brass would negotiate with Lu Xiao, that was none of his business.

Just seconds after Edson hung up, on the other end, Lu Xiao’s phone rang again.

"Hello, Mr. Lu Xiao, we can give the five Mutated Crystals, but we can’t produce that many at once, we can pay in installments, all within a year, how does that sound to you?"

Lu Xiao’s eyes lit up.

He hadn’t expected the Superpower Alliance to really agree to such terms.

Five Mutated Crystals, to collect those himself, who knows how long that would take.

"One year is too long, give them to me within a month."

"Besides that, I want one-fifth of the profits from your betting pool."

"If you agree, we can make a deal, if not, in five minutes I’ll go on stage and send Edson to his grave."

"You heard right, I’m prepared to kill Edson in the arena."

With that, Lu Xiao hung up the phone outright.

In the control room of the tournament area, the faces of the Superpower Alliance’s top executives turned unsightly as they listened to the dial tone from their cell phone.

They originally thought Lu Xiao’s request for five Mutated Crystals was already excessive, but this bastard even wanted one-fifth of the betting pool’s profits.

The total profit of this betting round was about one hundred billion US dollars, one-fifth would be twenty billion.

Together with the five Mutated Crystals, Lu Xiao was asking for thirty billion US dollars!

"This damn vampire!"

"Fack, thirty billion, how dare he! Edson should kill him on the spot in the arena!"

"Right, we agree to his terms and then let Mr. Edson go all out in the arena, if he can kill, kill him directly."

"If Lu Xiao dies, we won’t have to give anything!"
