CHAPTER 222: CHAPTER 222 TOO FAKE

"Still, we won’t know the exact details until they arrive."

A long moment passed before Yun Bing finally spoke.

"That’s insane!"

Although she knew that Xia Liang was a great fighter and very formidable, they were nine battlefield-seasoned mercenaries. Not only that, but they were armed with explosives and firearms. Xia Liang was unarmed.

Yet under such circumstances, he had managed to subdue nine mercenaries.

It truly was...

For a moment, Yun Bing didn’t know what to say.

Meanwhile, Xia Liang on the plane was naturally unaware of these discussions. He, Luu Qi, and Shi Qiang had returned to the first-class cabin.

Order was restored on the plane, though everyone was still discussing the day’s events.

Xia Liang was watching over the two surviving hijackers. One had passed out, while the other was just staring at Xia Liang, her thoughts unreadable.

Three flight attendants approached the three of them with a service cart.

"Mister Xia, Mr. Shi, Miss Luu, are you thirsty or hungry? Would you like us to give you back massages?"

Although the first-class service was excellent, it didn’t normally extend to massages. This was clearly a perk reserved for heroes.

The other first-class passengers said nothing, unable to even muster any jealousy. Who could blame them? These people were just that incredible.

"No, thank you," the three of them said, waving their hands.

However, the flight attendants’ offensive was far from over. Upon learning that Luu Qi was Xia Liang’s younger sister, they began fawning over him. Flight attendants from other cabins even had their colleagues bring over their contact information, insisting that Xia Liang had to add them.

Seeing Xia Liang grow somewhat impatient, Luu Qi once again stepped forward to run interference.

Only then did everyone finally settle down.

But since Xia Liang was off-limits, wasn’t there another option?

Instantly, many eyes turned towards Shi Qiang.

Although the young man was chubby and looked honest, he was a member of the Dragon Group! Look at that, a Dragon Group member traveling in first class! His salary must be incredible! The thought filled the flight attendants with a profound sense of security.

Consequently, they showered Shi Qiang with care and affection.

Looking at the contact information being pressed into his hands and catching the coquettish glances from the flight attendants, Shi Qiang felt his heart swell with exhilaration.

So this is what it feels like to be a hero!

Meanwhile, the captured flight attendant who had been staring at Xia Liang finally spoke. The disguise had been completely torn from her face, revealing a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman.

"I have great confidence in my disguise. How did you know I wasn’t who I seemed?"

Clearly, she had been thinking about it for a long time. She was certain she hadn’t made any mistakes. Even when drawing her gun, she had been extremely cautious. She found it unbelievable that Xia Liang had picked her out of the crowd so easily.

"How did I find out?"

Xia Liang glanced at her. Of course, he couldn’t admit that he had just checked her stats panel.

Name: Asala Liaa

Age: 26

Income: Unstable

Attractiveness: 86 (Makeup +5)

Strength: 7

Agility: 8

Intelligence: 6

Harmonious Value: 55 (Indescribable with over 10 people +50, Indescribable by oneself +5)

When Xia Liang first saw this panel, it gave him quite a shock. It wasn’t her strength and speed, which surpassed that of an ordinary man, that startled him. It was the damn Harmonious Value.

Is she a mercenary or a high-class escort? 55?

That was the highest value Xia Liang had ever seen.

But, in a way, it was understandable. After all, Asala Liaa was a mercenary who lived on a knife’s edge. When she got paid, the first thing she did was buy supplies or look for some fun. Otherwise, what if you die one day with money left unspent?

Just like her male counterparts, Asala Liaa sought her own pleasures. After all, there were men in her profession, too.

Seeing Xia Liang remain silent, Asala Liaa didn’t press the issue and quickly asked another question.

"And how did you manage to pierce a human body with a toothpick, and even penetrate a ten-centimeter-thick steel plate?"

Hearing her chatter on, Xia Liang grew impatient. The only reason he had used a toothpick in the first place was to avoid explaining himself.

If not for that, he could have just used his Six Meridians Divine Sword. A single flick of his finger would have been enough to blow their damn heads off.

He immediately started looking around. A nearby flight attendant quickly asked, "Mister Xia, what are you looking for?"

Xia Liang didn’t mince words. "Do you have a cloth? A hand towel, preferably a large one."

Although the flight attendant didn’t know what he wanted it for, she immediately fulfilled his request, presenting a new towel.

"Mister Xia, will this do?"

"Mm," Xia Liang nodded as he took it. "Thanks."

Then, under Asala Liaa’s puzzled gaze, Xia Liang stuffed the towel into her mouth.

Asala Liaa’s protests were reduced to muffled sounds. She found it hard to believe. By any standard, she was a beautiful woman. Even as a captive, she deserved to be treated with some decency. Yet this man from the Dragon Country not only refused to answer her questions but had even stuffed a towel in her mouth.

"Hah." Letting out a sigh of relief, Xia Liang murmured, "Finally, some peace and quiet."

While things were quiet for Xia Liang, Qingyun Airport was anything but peaceful.

Qingxue had come to pick up Xia Liang, but she was stopped by Protectors the moment she reached the airport entrance. Not only that, but the sight of armed Protectors everywhere was a clear sign that something serious had happened at Qingyun Airport.

A terrible premonition flickered through Qingxue’s mind.

At the same time, a reporter from Qingyun City was speaking to a camera.

"Good afternoon, everyone. I am Qiu Bo, a reporter for Qingyun Radio. As you can see, Qingyun Airport has been completely surrounded..."

Listening to the reporter, Qingxue felt her head buzz.

A flight from Shangluo City to Qingyun City? Hijacked by criminals? It can’t be the one Xia Liang is on, can it?

Qingxue’s mind was in turmoil.
