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

Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Thanks to Mr. Lu for His Mercy

Lu Xiao was nearly propping himself up as he made his way into the shed.

His body was in pain, excruciating pain. His meridians felt as though they were being scorched.

Erupting with nearly the energy of two Mutated Crystals in a short time had caused an extreme amount of damage and strain to both his body and his meridians.

If it weren’t for sheer willpower, he might have collapsed right on the stage.

Putting on such a perfect front, only to fall at the end, would render all the previous coolness a complete waste.

"How are you feeling?" Chen Fei quickly caught Lu Xiao with a swift grasp.

"Hurts." Lu Xiao managed to utter just one word with difficulty.

"That’s not too bad then," Chen Fei nodded.

A little pain is acceptable as long as it’s not life-threatening.

Lu Xiao: ???

Not too bad? Sister, the pain I’m talking about isn’t just pain, it’s the kind that feels like your whole body is being torn apart, the kind that makes your head spin and leaves you unable to utter a word.

"How about now, feeling any better?" Chen Fei’s hand was placed on Lu Xiao’s lower back, constantly channeling superpower into Lu Xiao’s body.

Lu Xiao’s meridians, at this point, were like a starving ghost, eagerly absorbing the superpower as soon as they sensed it.

Five minutes later, Lu Xiao took Chen Fei’s hand away himself.

He knew the state of his own meridians well; to continue absorbing like this would suck Chen Fei dry, and still it wouldn’t be enough.

This thing, it needed to be fed with Mutated Crystals.

"I can hold up for now," Lu Xiao said, as the pain had lessened considerably, enough at least for him to speak.

"Don’t do this again in the future, you were in great danger on the arena just now," Chen Fei said with a grave expression.

Others might not understand, but as a Fourth Rank and the person who knew Lu Xiao’s strength the best, she was fully aware of the danger.

The real battle between Lu Xiao and Edson was not long, but even in that short period Lu Xiao had faced death three times.

The first was Edson’s spear thrust, the second was that super giant shield Edson conjured, and the third was the burst of superpower from Lu Xiao’s meridians.

Each time, Lu Xiao could have died instantly.

Surviving was a combination of strength and luck.

But one cannot be lucky every time.

"Alright, I understand," Lu Xiao nodded. He really couldn’t keep this up in the future; it was too easy to end up dead.

"Let’s go, it’s time to ask the Superpower Alliance for our money," Lu Xiao’s lips curved up in a smile.

Lu Xiao and Chen Fei had just left the shed when cheers suddenly erupted all around.

"Mr. Lu’s great righteousness!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for sparing our lives."

"Lu Xiao, I was wrong to curse you before, from now on, bro, I’m your die-hard fan!"

"I made back the money I lost, thank you, Lu Xiao! If you don’t mind, I can bear your child."

All around were voices expressing gratitude towards Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was slightly taken aback, and then he understood the situation.

He could have killed Edson on the stage earlier, but he didn’t; he even voluntarily admitted defeat.

As a result, Edson remained the champion of the Master Group, and most of the people here had placed their bets on Edson, some even staking their entire fortunes.

So, it was perfectly reasonable for these people to thank him, Lu Xiao, for sparing them.

"No need to thank me, if you’re making money, so am I. The Superpower Alliance has promised me quite a few things."

"The thing I fear is that they will renege on the deal."

"Ah, with just myself, I can’t possibly stand up to them."

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, the crowd that kept thanking him suddenly became agitated.

Although Lu Xiao reached an agreement to lose for his own benefits, he had indeed helped them all win their bets.

If Lu Xiao had won the match, at least seventy percent of them here would have lost everything.

"Mr. Lu Xiao, are you going to ask the Superpower Alliance for the money now? I’ll go with you!"

"What do you mean on your own? All of us here, we are your supporters."

"Right, Superpower Alliance, pay up!" someone shouted, raising their fist.

Then, more and more people began to raise their hands and chant slogans, following behind Lu Xiao and Chen Fei.

Lu Xiao was a bit dumbfounded, damn, are all you foreigners this grateful?

But fair’s fair; with this kind of reaction, the Superpower Alliance would probably have to pay up whether they wanted to or not.
