Chapter 358: Chapter 358: The Alliance Leader Who Likes Win-Win Situations

Lu Xiao decided to push the envelope and test Mackenny’s limits.

"Mr. Mackenny, I think one month is too long."

"I am still not accustomed to living in Meili Country."

"So, I hope you can deliver the Mutated Crystal you owe me as soon as possible so I can return to Hua Country. Let’s make it ten days, hand over the items within ten days."

Lu Xiao’s tone was far from polite; rather than negotiating, it was more like issuing an order.

Upon hearing Lu Xiao’s words, Edson’s brows furrowed uncontrollably.

"Lu Xiao, show some respect to our Alliance Leader. Besides, we agreed on one month, so ten days is not possible."

Edson had barely finished speaking when Mackenny started to laugh.

"No worries, no worries. Mr. Lu Xiao is young and spirited, and his directness is part of his true nature. As for the delivery time for the Mutated Crystal, I’ll try to hurry it up. Delivering within ten days shouldn’t be a big issue."

Mackenny’s easygoing manner almost made Lu Xiao’s jaw drop.

Of course, not only Lu Xiao was puzzled by Mackenny’s actions, but Edson was also full of confusion.

Honestly, if Lu Xiao didn’t look completely unrelated to Mackenny, Edson would suspect they were related by blood.

Having worked closely with Mackenny for nearly thirty years, Edson thought he understood him very well.

But now, Edson was puzzled; Mackenny was unusually accommodating towards Lu Xiao.

And it wasn’t just his attitude; he seemed eager to please.

Lu Xiao said he wasn’t the one who attacked the Superpower Alliance building, and Mackenny believed him without a second thought.

Lu Xiao asked for the Mutated Crystal within ten days, and Mackenny agreed without hesitation.

"Mr. Mackenny is truly a man of grand vision, worthy of being the leader of the Superpower Alliance," Lu Xiao immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Heh, what’s to worry about? Harmony brings wealth. If not for Mr. Lu Xiao, our Superpower Alliance would have suffered heavy losses in this exchange. I’ve always believed that there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. Mutual benefit is the true truth. What do you think, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Xiao did not respond to Mackenny’s remarks.

After all, he hadn’t figured out whether Mackenny was trying to placate him or genuinely wanted to resolve the issue peacefully.

"Mr. Lu seems to still not trust me. So, to show my sincerity, this is my personal gift to you." Saying this, Mackenny pulled out a box and handed it to Lu Xiao.

Even without opening it, Lu Xiao had already guessed what was inside.

It was a Mutated Crystal.

Such a grand gesture from Mackenny.

"Mr. Mackenny really is a man who handles big affairs. Here’s my business card; we should definitely have a chat sometime." Lu Xiao handed over a blank piece of paper, which had nothing on it, not even a phone number.

With the Superpower Alliance’s ability, finding his phone number would be simple.

By handing over a blank piece of paper, he was merely expressing an openness to talk.

"Alright." Mackenny clearly got the message and nodded with a smile.

"Someone, escort Mr. Lu back." Mackenny then gestured to the surrounding guards.

A squad of guards immediately stepped forward, with Ferrer leading the team.

Ferrer was completely bewildered. It had clearly been Lu Xiao who attacked the headquarters just before, but now, not only was there no trouble, but the Alliance Leader even ordered them to escort Lu Xiao home.

But he dared not ask or speak out; as a mere guard, he knew better than to do anything but follow orders.

"Yes, Alliance Leader, we’ll complete the task."

After saying this, Ferrer got into the jeep that had driven up, then waved his hand to signal the escort team to start moving.

Inside the black SUV, Truth and the others had fallen silent.

The series of maneuvers by Lu Xiao was utterly bewildering.

He had confronted the Superpower Alliance head-on, then walked away completely untouched, even receiving an escort service from them.

"Seriously, why?" Halfway through the drive, Sister Gun suddenly shouted.

The others in the car also looked towards Lu Xiao. Yes, why indeed?
