Chapter 363: This is not what I expected!

Chapter 363: Chapter 363: This is not what I expected!

"Lu Xiao, will it succeed?"

"Edson is pretty clever, he might not fall into the trap."

In the parking lot outside the Superpower Alliance Headquarters building, Chen Fei asked.

Lu Xiao’s plan was actually not very secretive, anyone with a bit of a brain would have doubts.

After all, starting a war with Lu Xiao would have no benefits for Mackenny.

"He will," Lu Xiao said, his lips slightly curving upward.

Even if Edson knew it might be a trap, he would eventually step right into it.

The temptation of becoming the Alliance Leader was something Edson couldn’t resist.

"All right, then do we continue with the plan as it is?"

Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow.

The initial plan was for him to stage a play with Mackenny to lure Edson into the trap and then take the opportunity to have Chen Fei kill Edson.

"I think, Mackenny isn’t a good guy either," Lu Xiao muttered quietly.

Killing Edson and overthrowing Mackenny at the same time would be even more thrilling.

"My suggestion is not to act against Mackenny for the time being; he is very selfish, and selfish people are easier to manipulate."

"If Mackenny dies, it might not be easy for us to leave Meili Country safely."

"Lu Xiao, don’t underestimate the Superpower Alliance."

"The hidden power of the Superpower Alliance might be far more terrifying than you can imagine," Chen Fei immediately cautioned Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao pursed his lips then nodded silently, admitting that he may have been too impatient.

"Then let’s stick to the original plan."

"Okay, take care of yourself," Chen Fei said before leaving the parking lot.

As for Lu Xiao, he quickly got into his car and stepped on the accelerator.

...

Edson was thrilled now; without Mackenny, he was the one calling the shots at the Superpower Alliance.

Just now, he had issued three orders.

First: to list Lu Xiao on the Superpower Alliance’s wanted list; second: all third-tier Mutants of the Superpower Alliance were to guard the Headquarters; third: to form a temporary assassination squad with the ultimate goal of killing Lu Xiao.

As he issued each order, Edson felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

This satisfaction seemed to make all the pores in his body open up.

"It turns out holding great power is so pleasurable," Edson said while standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, his whole demeanor undergoing a radical change.

However, he soon furrowed his brow again.

Mackenny would eventually come back.

"Perhaps, I can make sure he never does," Edson took a deep breath.

"Someone."

A shadow appeared behind Edson.

"Go to the High Court, in my name, and apply to initiate the Divine Light Plan," Edson said with squinted eyes.

With Mackenny away, he was now the Acting Alliance Leader, and the Acting Alliance Leader could also initiate the Divine Light Plan.

"Yes," the shadow replied and then left the office.

"Heh, Mackenny, you really think I don’t know what you and Lu Xiao are up to?" Edson scoffed.

It was just a matter of buying time and then looking for an opportunity to assassinate him.

Chen Fei leaving with Lu Xiao was the best proof.

If there was really a falling out, would they have left so directly? With Lu Xiao’s vindictive nature, he’d have had Chen Fei launch a major move and kill a hundred or so people.

"Boom!" Edson’s thoughts were still not over when a sudden explosive sound came from downstairs.

The sound was loud and terrifying, causing the entire building to shake.

"Dare to hurt my man, you all deserve to die!" Chen Fei’s furious roar echoed through the building.

Edson froze for two seconds, a mix of confusion and hesitance appearing in his eyes.

Chen Fei had come back?

That didn’t make sense! This wasn’t what he had expected.

Theoretically, if Lu Xiao and Mackenny were pretending, they definitely wouldn’t have barged in to kill people.

Could he have been wrong? Had Mackenny really plotted to severely injure Lu Xiao?

"Damn it!" Edson cursed, shaking his head before immediately heading downstairs.

He was now a bit confused about the situation, but he had to go down to face Chen Fei.

When Edson reached the lobby, his mind nearly crashed.

The entire lobby of the headquarters was almost completely destroyed, and at the same time, Chen Fei was controlling a massive flood of metal overhead.

Just looking at it was unnerving.

"Edson!"

"Good, I’ll take your life as interest first!"

Saying this, Chen Fei manipulated her fingers, and the overwhelming metal flood surged directly toward Edson.

Edson was scared, feeling like his heart might jump out of his chest.

Fack, this... this isn’t what I had expected at all.
