Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 382: I’ll be the Traitor

Chapter 382: Chapter 382: I’ll be the Traitor

When Edson stood before Lu Xiao, his body was hunched and his head drooped almost as low as possible.

"Ah, Alliance Leader Edson, what brings you here? How’s your back?" Lu Xiao greeted him cheerfully with a wave of his hand, without even standing up.

After all, Edson wasn’t here to discuss cooperation, but to seek asylum.

If Lu Xiao didn’t protect him, given the current situation, it was likely that Edson would be killed by High Court.

Someone had to take the blame for the ransacked resource vault.

High Court couldn’t possibly kill Sang Guqiao.

So, the only option was to sacrifice Edson.

Edson was smart enough to know he should come to him.

If he had foolishly stayed at the Superpower Alliance Headquarters, he might have died without even knowing why.

"The back’s okay, not troubling me much. I’m getting old; it’s not that important," Edson said, smiling brilliantly, his expression and eyes showing no resentment towards Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao nodded, impressed with Edson’s attitude.

I crushed both of his kidneys, and yet he shows no anger at all.

"Mr. Edson, you’re quite composed. But why have you come to see me?" Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked.

Although he knew why Edson was there, it was still necessary to ask.

Edson took a deep breath, then suddenly knelt on one knee with his hands clasped together, "Please, Mr. Lu, save me."

"You pull off the Hua Country etiquette quite well," Lu Xiao laughed lightly.

Knelling on one knee with hands clasped was indeed a posture of pleading.

"But why should I save you? To save you now and wait for you to stab me in the back later?"

"You’re from the Superpower Alliance and I’m from the Seventeenth Bureau. Although we haven’t gone to war directly, the conflicts and frictions are quite significant."

"By saving you, I’d have a hard time explaining myself to the Seventeenth Bureau, and I might even be accused of being a traitor."

Lu Xiao shrugged as he spoke.

At the corner of his eyes, Edson’s muscles twitched, Are you even speaking like a human, Lu Xiao?

With your status in the Seventeenth Bureau, who could call you a traitor?

You’re only in your twenties, and you possess super-tier strength; you could take over the Seventeenth Bureau and Hua Country would think you’re aiming to create a better Seventeenth Bureau.

"Mr. Lu, I won’t say much else, just if you agree to protect me, I’ll take the role of the traitor," Edson said without mincing words, getting straight to the point.

He had already prepared to be Lu Xiao’s lapdog before coming.

Without Lu Xiao’s help, he would definitely be crushed by High Court.

Even if not crushed, his fate would be miserable.

"How can I trust you?" Lu Xiao then posed another question.

Without wasting words, Edson immediately pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Lu Xiao.

"This is my son’s address, unknown to the Superpower Alliance," Edson added.

Exposing his own son, full of sincerity.

"Alright, let’s have barbecue together," Lu Xiao said, slipping the note into his pocket and pointing at the grill.

Edson slowly exhaled. Being invited to stay for the barbecue meant that Lu Xiao had agreed.

"Of course, Mr. Lu," Edson didn’t refuse. It would have been disrespectful to say he wouldn’t eat.

And since he had already become Lu Xiao’s lapdog, whatever Lu Xiao said was to be followed.

As a lapdog, the most important thing was to obey.

"Edson, you escaped just in time," Sister Gun suddenly said as she sat up with her phone, "Just now, the Superpower Alliance revoked your status as Acting Alliance Leader and issued a kill order against you."

Edson’s face instantly turned pale.

High Court was even more ruthless than he had expected.

Not only expelled, but utterly relentless.

"An order for a decisive kill, that means no rest until death."

"Damn it!" Edson couldn’t help but curse.

He was genuinely pissed off. He had been working hard for the Superpower Alliance for decades, and this was it?

If it were really me who ruined the resource depot, I’d have nothing to say. I would take that responsibility.

But how is it my fault that Lu Xiao emptied the resource depot? It has nothing to do with me!

It was him, Sang Guqiao, who couldn’t defeat Lu Xiao. Not only did he lose, but he really took off.

"I guess people from High Court will be arriving soon." Lu Xiao clicked his tongue. They definitely knew about Edson’s whereabouts.

Once they knew, they would surely come.

Since they decided to let Edson take the fall, Edson had to die.

If he didn’t die, it wouldn’t make sense either to High Court or inside the Divine Light Plan.

"They’re already here." Chen Fei spread her hands in resignation. These people were really endless and annoying.

"Fei, want to put on a show?" Lu Xiao suddenly looked at Chen Fei and asked.

The people from the Divine Light Plan all considered themselves superior; they needed a good beating to shake their weird confidence.

To beat them till it hurt, till they were baffled, would make things easier afterward.

"Sure." Chen Fei nodded and stood up, then waved her hand back, "Xiao Lu, your turn."

In the grass, a "Lu Xiao" formed by Super Gold popped up and then scurried to Chen Fei’s feet.

Sister Gun and the others were used to it, but this was the first time Edson saw it, and his eyes almost popped out.

"The Super Gold you provided is excellent," Chen Fei said to Edson with a smile.

Edson swallowed his saliva and started to silently mourn for the people of the Divine Light Plan.

Everyone says Super Gold is miraculous. I didn’t understand before, but now I do; this stuff is specifically made for Metal Control Mutants.

It can transform into a lifelike human.

Although I still don’t know how fierce it is, it’s definitely fierce.

"Lu Xiao, hand over the traitor Edson to us!" Six people from the Divine Light Plan arrived, led by Sang Guqiao.

Sang Guqiao strode forward, forcefully chastising as he walked.

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes. This fool had no idea where his confidence came from.

Just flipped at the Superpower Alliance headquarters, and here he comes wailing again.

"Uninvited and trampling my lawn, get lost!" Lu Xiao barked in anger.

With Lu Xiao’s shout, the "Xiao Lu" at Chen Fei’s feet charged forward.

As it sped along, Xiao Lu’s hands formed metal dual blades.

"Fuck, what is this?" Sang Guqiao was taken aback.

The thing charging him looked just like Lu Xiao, only a bit shorter, about half the height of Lu Xiao.

"Fancy tricks, die! Electrocute!" Sang Guqiao suddenly blasted with both hands.

A massive superpower drove the lightning, furiously rolling toward Xiao Lu.

Bang!

A loud collision sound erupted.

Sang Guqiao’s attack was directly shattered and dispersed by Xiao Lu’s impact.

As for Xiao Lu, its speed was even faster than before, blades in front, murderous intent sky-high.

"Truly monstrous!" Lu Xiao couldn’t help but exclaim.

The Super Gold in Chen Fei’s hands was extremely lethal.

Basically, it’s a clump of metal, hard as hell; swords can’t split it, and energy can’t blast it apart.

Under Chen Fei’s control, it could completely ignore attacks.
