CHAPTER 28: CHAPTER 28: EXPANDING HORIZONS

Running away?

Does that measly White Clothes Pavilion even qualify?

Bro, you didn’t see it when I stormed into Black Lotus alone, those sons of guns were crying.

And that Arthur, who’s claimed to be the top assassin of Black Lotus, was lying on the ground, not daring to move an inch.

"No need."

"Mr., the retaliation from White Clothes Pavilion is no joke. And those two from the Divine List aren’t to be underestimated either, I think we might want to leave for a while," Chen Han said anxiously.

Although Lu Xiao was strong, he was, after all, alone and outmatched.

If White Clothes Pavilion launched a full-scale manhunt, he would be hard-pressed to cope.

They could afford to fail countless times, but if we let our guard down just once, we could be done for.

Hearing Chen Han’s words, a smile appeared on Lu Xiao’s face.

This kid was genuinely looking out for him.

Not bad, he’s got the makings of a loyal subordinate.

"By the way, why should I wait for White Clothes Pavilion to come after me?" Lu Xiao countered.

Chen Han was stunned, clearly not understanding the implication of Lu Xiao’s words.

"Does your White Clothes Pavilion have a headquarters? If so, I’ll strike first before they can send someone to kill me, wouldn’t that be reasonable?" Lu Xiao continued.

Chen Han was dumbfounded, was that even possible?

But then again, as clever as the idea was, it was akin to courting death.

Not to mention the security measures of the White Clothes Pavilion headquarters, which were extremely tight, but those two from the Divine List were also stationed there permanently.

Charging in like that, he would suddenly have to face two from the Divine List.

"Mr., this won’t work, you’ll really die," Chen Han shook his head repeatedly.

Although Mr. Lu was incredibly strong, even capable of taking down Dou Haichuan in seconds, if he faced two from the Divine List at once, it wouldn’t be easy.

Moreover, the headquarters of White Clothes Pavilion didn’t just have two from the Divine List, but many other combat staff.

How could he possibly withstand them rushing at him all at once?

"So where is the headquarters?" Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"Mr., maybe we should wait until my sister wakes up..."

"Didn’t we agree that even your life is mine?"

"Pingshan Village in the far suburbs of Hai City," Chen Han resisted for two seconds before caving.

"See? That settles it." Lu Xiao chuckled and patted Chen Han on the shoulder, "After your sister’s surgery, take good care of her. I’ll handle the rest."

Chen Han wanted to say something, but ultimately, he did not open his mouth.

His sister had told him before that not only was Mr. Lu formidable in force, but his intelligence and tactics were unmatched. Since Mr. Lu took a liking to them as siblings, they should cooperate well, not asking what shouldn’t be asked.

Perhaps, Mr. Lu had already figured out a comprehensive plan.

"Understood, Mr. Be very careful with everything."

"Alright, after your sister’s surgery bring her home to recuperate, I have some things to deal with first."

"You... aren’t planning to go directly to the headquarters, are you?" Chen Han couldn’t help but ask.

"How could I? Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing." After saying that, Lu Xiao turned and left.

Twenty minutes later, at a soup dumpling restaurant, Lu Xiao rubbed his slightly swollen belly, looking completely satisfied.

"Well fed and ready to go." Lu Xiao stood up, went outside, and hailed a taxi, "Driver, please take me to Pingshan Village."

With a full belly and calm mood, he’s definitely more precise when taking action.

Pingshan Village was located in the northern suburbs of Hai City, adjoining Qichuan City, and it took an hour and a half by taxi to get there.

After getting off the taxi, Lu Xiao found a high ground to overview the entire Pingshan Village.

Because it was too far from the city and surrounded by several mountains, Pingshan Village still retained its old rural appearance.

The houses were dilapidated and low.

From a distance, the road into the village was very narrow, just enough for two motorcycles to run side by side, and cars couldn’t get in at all.

"No one cooking at noon, how interesting." Soon, Lu Xiao spotted something odd.

Across the entire Pingshan Village, out of a few dozen houses, not one chimney was smoking.

It was just past noon, obviously something fishy was going on.

But Lu Xiao had no time to slowly investigate and understand, he rolled up his sleeves and headed straight into the village.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the village, two burly men dressed as farmers stopped him.

"Young man, where are you from? Sorry, but we’ve recently had a death in Pingshan Village, and it’s our custom not to let outsiders in." Their demeanor seemed friendly, but the ferocity in their eyes couldn’t be hidden.

However, since the others were smiling, Lu Xiao felt he shouldn’t be rude and returned the favor with a broad smile.

"Oh, is that so? Who died?"

"Does White Clothes Pavilion have to issue condolences for a dead employee? Pretty good employee benefits you’ve got there!"

"How about I give a condolence gift? It’s been a long time since I’ve attended a banquet."

Upon hearing Lu Xiao’s words, the faces of the two men turned frosty, then they simultaneously pulled out daggers.

Bang! Bang!

Lu Xiao couldn’t be bothered with their nonsense and knocked them out with a couple of hand chops.

Dusting off his hands, he continued forward.

He hadn’t walked far when a deep alarm bell rang throughout the entire Pingshan Village.

Lu Xiao paid no attention, casually strolling and waiting for the people from White Clothes Pavilion to come.

After a full three minutes, Lu Xiao finally saw a group of people rushing over.

"This response time is really pathetic," Lu Xiao couldn’t help but complain.

Honestly, in three minutes, I could have fought from one end of the village to the other.
