Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 361: Edson Must Die

Chapter 361: Chapter 361: Edson Must Die

Mackenny’s office wasn’t luxurious, it even looked somewhat outdated.

The leather sofas were already peeling here and there.

However, the office environment was quite nice, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window offering a very open view.

"Mr. Lu Xiao, would you like tea or coffee?" Mackenny walked over to the cabinet and turned to ask.

"No need, let’s get straight to business," Lu Xiao waved his hand dismissively.

Mackenny nodded, then gestured for Lu Xiao and Chen Fei to take their seats.

"Mr. Mackenny, let’s not beat around the bush. I’ll share my thoughts, and then you see what you think," Lu Xiao lightly licked his lips, "I’m planning on having a major showdown with the Superpower Alliance."

"According to my plan, Edson must die, you must die, and at least half of the Third-stage Mutants in the Superpower Alliance must die too."

"Of course, I also know that the Superpower Alliance has other hidden Fourth-stage Mutants."

"But I am confident that after killing you and Edson, I can still return to Hua Country."

Mackenny quietly watched Lu Xiao without speaking.

What Lu Xiao said seemed arrogant, but upon careful thought, he indeed had the power to back it up.

Just Chen Fei alone was enough to make the Superpower Alliance cry for their fathers and scream for their mothers.

Not to mention that Lu Xiao himself was no easy target.

After all, it was Lu Xiao who had defeated Edson in the arena before.

Although he had used some special strategies, a win was a win.

Besides strength, Lu Xiao’s intellect was also not to be underestimated.

An enemy who could fight and strategize was much more terrifying than a brute who could only fight.

"Mr. Lu Xiao, I actually have a chance too. Me and Edson, plus a few hidden Fourth-tiers from the Superpower Alliance, if we time it right, it’s not impossible to eliminate you and Miss Chen Fei," Mackenny replied with a smile.

"But those hidden Fourth-tiers, you’re not really willing to use them, are you?" Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Mackenny’s facial muscles twitched.

There you have it, Lu Xiao’s mind was also a deadly weapon, able to guess right on the mark with little effort.

Those people involved with the Divine Light Plan, he really didn’t dare to use them. If Chen Fei killed even one of them, no matter the final outcome, his position as Alliance Leader was definitely finished.

Seeing Mackenny’s expression, Lu Xiao knew his guess was correct.

Of course, this wasn’t too hard to guess. If Mackenny could use those people easily, then he would have acted just like the other higher-ups and directly attacked.

"Mr. Mackenny, I won’t mince words. If we really come to blows, it’s going to be a scenario where both sides suffer," Lu Xiao continued.

"I agree with what you said before, a win-win situation is the best outcome," Mackenny nodded. He had no desire to clash with Lu Xiao if he could avoid it.

Pointless.

Regardless of victory or defeat, his fate as Alliance Leader wouldn’t end well.

"What does Mr. Lu Xiao suggest?" Mackenny inquired, as Lu Xiao had gotten to this point, he was surely about to set his terms.

"My conditions are simple. Give me the Mutated Crystals you owe me and we’re even."

"Of course," Mackenny agreed instantly.

The Mutated Crystals were promised by those higher-ups to ensure Lu Xiao lost to Edson. Although they were quite valuable, they meant nothing to Mackenny personally. Even if there were to be repercussions later, it would be those higher-ups who would bear the consequences.

"And another thing, Edson must die," Lu Xiao presented his second condition.

"Impossible," Mackenny rejected outright, even looking angry, "Lu Xiao, don’t go too far. Edson is a Fourth-tier of the Superpower Alliance, a mainstay of our organization. He’s worked with me for over thirty years and is one of my most beloved friends and relatives!"

"So, you’re saying, it will cost more?" Lu Xiao asked with a smile.

Mackenny’s expression froze; damn, Lu Xiao, one shouldn’t speak so bluntly.

"I understand your concern, Mr. Mackenny, you’re probably worried about this getting out."

"Actually, you don’t need to be involved at all."

"Edson probably wants to kill me too. I can just set up a trap and discreetly take him out without anyone knowing," Lu Xiao added a few more words.

Mackenny shook his head, "Edson is very strong, I doubt it would go unnoticed.

Lu Xiao also shook his head, "Mr. Mackenny, you know nothing about a Fourth-order Metal Control Mutant."

No sooner had Lu Xiao finished speaking than Chen Fei pointed her finger.

A terrifying surge of metal instantly erupted from beneath Mackenny’s feet.

In an instant, Mackenny was enveloped.

Chen Fei looked toward Lu Xiao; in this state, she could easily deny Mackenny a place to be buried at any moment if she wished.

"No need."

"Understood," Chen Fei waved her arm again, and the metal encasing Mackenny vanished with a clang.

At this moment, Mackenny’s gaze at Chen Fei shifted from wariness to terror.

Too terrifying.

Was this a Super-level Mutant Ability? Damn unbelievable.

He, too, was a top Fourth-tier, but facing Chen Fei... it seemed like there was no room to struggle at all.
