Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Because He Got Scared

Lu Xiao remained silent for half a minute before he finally spoke up, "Mackenny is scared."

Sister Gun rolled her eyes, "Dear Major sir, please have some shame! That’s the Superpower Alliance, do you think they would be scared?"

Truth and Pharmacist also tended to agree with Sister Gun’s opinion.

Although they weren’t very familiar with the Superpower Alliance, it was, after all, the organization known as the world’s premier Mutant Organization.

If they were scared, they would lose all face.

For such a large organization, face is something they care about a great deal.

"I said Mackenny is scared, I didn’t say the Superpower Alliance is scared," Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Even though Mackenny is the leader of the Superpower Alliance, his opinions can still differ from the overall stance of the Superpower Alliance.

"You can think about it, what would be the outcome if the Superpower Alliance fully committed to a fight against us?" Lu Xiao glanced at the people in the car and asked.

"It would probably be a lose-lose situation," Sister Gun quickly responded.

Lu Xiao and Chen Fei were very strong, and the others had some special Mutant Abilities, which could cause significant trouble for the Superpower Alliance.

If they recklessly fought a fiercely destructive battle, they might be severely injured or even killed, but the Superpower Alliance would likely also suffer heavy casualties.

"Then guess what, in a lose-lose scenario, as the leader of the Superpower Alliance, what benefits would Mackenny get?"

"Not only would there be no benefits, on the contrary, he might even be dismissed from his position," Lu Xiao said.

"In any organization where there are massive casualties, the person in charge can hardly escape the blame," he explained.

"So the other people in the Superpower Alliance might want me dead, but Mackenny wants to negotiate," Lu Xiao summarized.

"Everyone, do you understand?" After explaining, Lu Xiao snapped his fingers at the group.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Truth nodded repeatedly and then continued driving.

In the back seat, the Pharmacist gave Lu Xiao a thumbs up, then looked out at the scenery.

As for Sister Gun, her face was full of disdain, "So roundabout, just say it directly, will he die?! Men really are no good."

Lu Xiao: ???

Sister Gun, shouldn’t you reconsider firing these indiscriminate accusations?

Also, how did you even link this matter to ’men are no good’?

...

"Leader, I don’t understand," In the Superpower Alliance’s meeting room, Edson stared defiantly at Mackenny.

Put nicely, Mackenny’s actions today were about friendly negotiation with Lu Xiao; put harshly, it was collusion.

Mackenny didn’t immediately answer and instead lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Only after finishing his cigarette did Mackenny look at Edson, "We’ve been friends for nearly thirty years, haven’t we?"

Edson frowned, wondering why Mackenny was bringing this up.

"Honestly, Edson, I consider you a friend. Whether you consider me a friend or not, I’m not sure, but if you do, you might try seeing things from my perspective—you might understand why I did what I did," Mackenny suggested.

Hearing Mackenny’s words, Edson’s frown deepened.

Seeing things from Mackenny’s perspective?

A few seconds later, a slight look of realization flashed across Edson’s face.

"You all are pushing me into conflict with Lu Xiao, even suggesting that I use the Divine Light Plan," Mackenny continued.

"You don’t consider my position as the leader of the Alliance at all," he added.

"You’re all eager to fight, only caring about your own thrill, but I’m the one who would have to bear the ultimate cost."

"Regardless of Lu Xiao, just Chen Fei alone, how many of our people do you think she can kill?"

"Even if we eventually succeed in killing them, do you think I could continue as the leader of the Alliance? Do you think I would even remain alive?" he questioned.

Edson was silent; indeed, he hadn’t considered that point.

"But you saw how Lu Xiao behaved today, he clearly came looking for trouble," Edson eventually reminded.

You want peace, but Lu Xiao might not agree.

I previously advocated not to wage a full-scale war against Lu Xiao, but look at what he did tonight? He’s pushing the boundaries!

Continuing to negotiate and communicate will only make Lu Xiao more unbridled.

"Tonight’s attack was just an expression of Lu Xiao’s stance," Mackenny said.

"Our people attacked him this morning; his retaliation is reasonable."

"Moreover, Lu Xiao has already agreed to talk," Mackenny said as he pulled out the blank paper given by Lu Xiao, squinting as he gently spun it.

Edson could understand Mackenny, but he could not agree with Mackenny’s approach.

Mackenny was clearly prioritizing his personal interest over the interests of the Superpower Alliance.

"Leader, I have some matters to attend to, please excuse me," Edson said as he excused himself and left the room.

Mackenny also nodded with a smile.

Only after Edson had left and closed the door, did the smile on Mackenny’s face instantly fade away.

"Heh..." Mackenny suddenly let out a cold laugh towards the office door.

Edson was a good man in many ways, but he was just too inflexible.

"Don’t worry, if necessary, you would certainly be the first to die," Mackenny murmured as his lips curled upwards.
