Chapter 365: Chapter 365: I Have An Awesome Idea

As the Acting Alliance Leader of the Superpower Alliance, Edson had very high authority.

Aside from some major decisions that needed to be checked by the higher-ups, everything was no different from the official Alliance Leader.

Therefore, Edson could open, use, and freely dispose of the resources of the alliance’s resource vault.

Five Mutated Crystals, the bottom-of-the-box goods of the Superpower Alliance’s resource vault, were all taken out by Edson.

"So, you’ve had them all along, yet you dragged your feet and didn’t give them to me. That’s not nice," Chen Fei huffed coldly as she looked at the five Mutated Crystals in the box.

"These are the fixed inventory of the alliance’s resource vault. No one but the Alliance Leader could use them, and I didn’t have the authority before."

"It’s all Mackenny’s fault; he was the one holding them back," Edson immediately explained, not forgetting to kick Mackenny while he was at it.

Chen Fei curled her lips, closed the box lid, and carried it in her hand.

"Fine, you knew what to do today. The debt you owe me, pay me back within seven days, or else I’ll still kill you."

"Yes, definitely!" Edson assured her time and again.

It wasn’t until Chen Fei left the building that Edson finally exhaled deeply.

Just now, he could truly feel that Chen Fei was intent on killing him. If he hadn’t produced the five Mutated Crystals at the last minute, he might’ve been dismembered by now.

"I think I know your plan now," Edson murmured quietly.

He had completely seen through Lu Xiao and Mackenny’s plan.

It was to pretend to fall out, then Mackenny would leave, allowing himself to take over the Superpower Alliance.

And then Chen Fei would come and kill him.

After the killing, Mackenny would return and continue friendly negotiations with Lu Xiao.

As for himself, Edson, he was just a peace offering that Lu Xiao was willing to make.

"There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, right?" Edson’s eyes narrowed, "Mackenny, you can team up with Lu Xiao to betray me, and I can join forces with Lu Xiao to kill you."

...

When Chen Fei returned to the estate, Lu Xiao was in the living room chatting with Truth and the others.

"Fei, how did it go? Did you kill him?" Lu Xiao immediately stood up.

"No."

Lu Xiao was stunned for two seconds. No?

That was impossible; given Chen Fei’s combat strength, killing Edson was not a difficult task, especially since Edson was injured and had one of his kidneys blown out by him just a couple of days ago.

"Did Edson run away? Or did the Superpower Alliance’s Fourth Rank show up?"

"Neither," Chen Fei shook her head.

As she spoke, Chen Fei shook the wooden box in her hand: "Edson used five top-tier Mutated Crystals from the Superpower Alliance’s inventory to save his life."

Listening to Chen Fei’s words, Lu Xiao’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Holy shit, Edson was quite something!

"Lu Xiao, Edson is more afraid of dying than you thought," Chen Fei smiled as she opened the wooden box.

Immediately, a surge of superpower burst forth from the five Mutated Crystals.

Lu Xiao took a deep breath and closed it right away.

The boxes that stored Mutated Crystals were specially made. Otherwise, just leaving them out in the open would mean the energy of the Mutated Crystals would slowly diminish over time.

"I haven’t messed up your plan, have I?" Chen Fei raised an eyebrow with a look of seeking praise.

Lu Xiao cupped Chen Fei’s cheek and kissed it.

On the side, Sister Gun, Truth, and the Pharmacist all grimaced, damn it, they were being force-fed dog food.

"Edson also said he would pay back the debt of Mutated Crystals within seven days," Chen Fei added.

"If that’s the case, it will be enough!" Lu Xiao said excitedly, his voice trembling.

Once he absorbed all these Mutated Crystals, he could achieve Fourth Rank.

"Lu Xiao, Mutated Crystals aren’t that useful, why do you want them?" Sister Gun suddenly asked.

Lu Xiao seemed very eager for the Mutated Crystals, which puzzled her a bit.

Other than being potent with energy, the only other use for Mutated Crystals was to give ordinary people a chance to become Mutants.

But Lu Xiao was a man of Hua Country, and Hua Country people couldn’t mutate.

So logically, Mutated Crystals should be useless to Lu Xiao.

"For... Chen Fei to use," Lu Xiao immediately pointed to Chen Fei, "I have an awesome idea, and Chen Fei might become Fifth Rank."

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, Sister Gun nearly rolled her eyes back into her brain.

You must be joking!

Fifth Rank...

There were no Fifth Rank individuals in this world.

Fourth Rank was already the pinnacle.

Regardless of whether they were Mutants or Heavenly Men, after so many years of development, a Fifth Rank had never emerged.

At this moment, Lu Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, he reacted quickly and found an excuse.

Before he could achieve Fourth Rank or become invincible, the fact that he could absorb superpowers still had to be kept hidden.
