CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 45: THE YOUNGER BROTHER WENT TO MEET UP WITH AN ONLINE FRIEND

Chen Fei’s mind was filled with Lu Xiao’s words.

"Blasting the top of the Divine List is no different from blasting Dou Haichuan."

The way Lu Xiao fought Dou Haichuan... it seems like there wasn’t even a process, it was just a random piece of brick that took Dou Haichuan out in a second.

It can’t even be considered a fight.

Because in front of Lu Xiao, Dou Haichuan was as weak as an infant, not even qualified to fight back.

In Chen Fei’s view, the Divine List was something unattainably high.

Even the lowest-ranked members of the Divine List were not someone they could easily provoke.

Those like He Chong, ranked close to a thousand, could be a Tribute of the White Clothes Pavilion, worshipped and revered by all the assassins in the pavilion.

But now, Lu Xiao told her that the Divine List was just like that, and the number one could be taken out with a casual move.

"What, you don’t believe it?" Lu Xiao’s lips curled up.

He was quite satisfied with Chen Fei’s dumbfounded expression.

This feeling of acting cool was indeed addictive.

Chen Fei took a deep breath, "It’s not that I don’t believe you, I just can’t imagine it."

"I know about the number one on the Divine List, it’s the Russian Mad Bear Similov."

"The Divine List website has an introduction to Similov, height two meters and one, weight 180 kilograms."

"The website also has Similov’s combat videos, so strong that he almost doesn’t seem human."

"Especially the footage of Similov fighting a brown bear, it’s too brutal."

"So I can’t imagine how you did it against such a humanoid beast."

Lu Xiao nodded, Chen Fei’s skepticism was reasonable.

Similov’s size is indeed frightening, and his fighting style is powerful and dominating.

"I can’t explain the specifics, wait for me for a second." Lu Xiao then took out his phone from his pocket.

He pressed a few buttons on his phone and made a video call.

Less than half a minute later, the video connected.

On the phone screen appeared a muscular, bald strongman with his upper body bare.

"Similov!" Chen Fei exclaimed.

The Divine List’s homepage had a picture of Similov.

Similov was also smiling, but the smile was clearly not for Chen Fei, but for Lu Xiao.

"Great Major sir, I’m so happy that you’re video calling me," Similov’s voice boomed like a bell.

Chen Fei glanced at Lu Xiao, Major sir?

Was this Lu Xiao’s previous military rank in the army, or was it his nickname?

The people ranked higher on the Divine List all have nicknames, like Similov’s nickname Mad Bear, Arthur’s nickname Heavenly Judge...

"Nothing much, just checking on how you’ve been."

"Arthur that guy said a few days ago that his strength has greatly increased, beating you is like beating a chick," Lu Xiao said casually.

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, Similov’s expression suddenly turned fierce.

"The damn sissy Arthur, I’ll go to Black Lotus to find him tomorrow, the so-called Heavenly Judge, I’ll send him to heaven!" Similov waved his fists and roared.

Lu Xiao didn’t take Similov’s words to heart.

Although Similov and Arthur squabbled from time to time, their relationship was actually quite good.

"By the way, great Major sir, now I can beat a 350-kilogram brown bear!"

"Do you think I can take a hit from you now?" Similov’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Lu Xiao was also a bit surprised, Similov’s strength had improved fast.

Half a year ago, he could only beat a 300-kilogram brown bear.

As for Chen Fei, her mind was buzzing.

The number one on the Divine List, Similov, a man who could thrash a brown bear, was actually aiming to take a hit from Lu Xiao.

"If you can beat a 400-kilogram brown bear, that should be about right," Lu Xiao nodded and said.

Joy visibly spread across Similov’s face.

kilograms, that’s only 50 kilograms away.

Another half a year of effort, and it should be achievable.

"Okay, I’m hanging up now," Lu Xiao said and then disconnected the video.

Chen Fei had yet to recover from her shock, still in a dazed state.

"So, do you have any other questions?"

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, Chen Fei finally came to her senses and shook her head repeatedly.

"If you have no questions, I have something I’d like to ask you."

"When you and Chen Han tried to assassinate me and failed, you had no hesitation in betraying the White Clothes Pavilion; why then, when facing Dou Haichuan, did you stubbornly refuse to betray me?" Lu Xiao had always been curious about this.

Chen Fei pursed her lips, thought for a few seconds, and then answered, "Joining the White Clothes Pavilion was out of life’s compulsion, following you was my inner desire. I can’t betray my way of life and then betray myself too."

Lu Xiao was pleased with Chen Fei’s answer.

"Alright, that’s it then, remember, don’t be afraid when you encounter problems in the future."

"Don’t act cowardly if someone bullies you."

"If you face a life-and-death crisis, don’t choose to resist with death; first betray me to survive, got it?" Lu Xiao gave a few more instructions.

Chen Fei immediately nodded; if I had known how powerful you were, how could I have almost been killed by Dou Haichuan.

I’d certainly lure him to find you first, then let you kill him.

"Alright, you should rest and nourish your body, go to bed early," Lu Xiao pointed to the room.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fei’s stomach rumbled.

Clearly, she was hungry.

"Haven’t had dinner?" Lu Xiao frowned, "Where is that kid Chen Han? Didn’t he say he’d take good care of you?"

"Went out to play with his girlfriend."

"That kid has a girlfriend?" Lu Xiao was somewhat displeased; I haven’t even had a girlfriend yet.

Chen Fei didn’t know how to respond to Lu Xiao’s comment.

My brother is quite handsome, why are you so surprised that he has a girlfriend?

"It seems he was meeting an online friend, said it was for a real-life meet-up today," Chen Fei said, pursing her lips.

Online friend? A real-life meetup?

Lu Xiao’s gossip instincts were instantly ignited.

"How about we go take a look? You’re hungry too, we can grab something to eat on the way," Lu Xiao suggested.

Chen Fei should rest was just being polite; after all, she was from the assassination business, so this kind of injury wasn’t much.
