CHAPTER 688: CHAPTER 688: BROTHER XIAO NEEDS NO BACKING

Lu Xiao’s calm and confident demeanor made Chasen hesitant to order an attack.

Lu Xiao appeared to be around twenty-five years old.

At this age, being able to kill Lockyer was extremely frightening.

Chasen knew about Lockyer’s strength.

He wasn’t the top among advanced superpower users, but he wasn’t weak either.

To want to kill Lockyer, one had to be at least at the advanced level.

Thus, the young man before him was very likely to have already advanced.

"Are you a student of Holy Hall Academy?" Chasen continued to ask.

"No," Lu Xiao shook his head.

Chasen was slightly startled. Not from Holy Hall Academy?

If not from the Holy Hall Academy, then there shouldn’t be any problem taking action.

Genius or not, first he needed to maintain the face of Holy Hall Academy.

A huge academy and the Vice Department Head murdered, if they didn’t strike back fiercely, his position as Department Head might come to an end.

Not only Chasen but Wu Muli and the others were also stunned.

Lu Xiao wasn’t from Holy Hall Academy?

But that wasn’t right; he previously said he was from the Metal System.

"Ah, I almost forgot about this," Lu Xiao said as he dug into his pocket and pulled out a silver badge, which he then tossed to Chasen.

Seeing the badge, Chasen was sharply taken aback.

It was a Metal System instructor’s badge!

The individual was a Metal System instructor.

Damn, he should have said so earlier.

"Bro, that... is that an instructor’s badge?" Wu Muli couldn’t help but ask next to him.

"Right," Lu Xiao nodded.

The badge had come with the employment documents; he’d just casually placed it in his pocket before.

Wu Muli’s face was a picture of speechlessness. An instructor, coming to fraternize with us students like this, is also quite... lonely, huh.

"Since you’re an academy instructor, please come back with me to the academy," Chasen found a way to suggest.

"The matter will be handed over to the academy’s council for a vote on how to proceed," Chasen said, relieved.

Once handed to the council, the issue would have nothing to do with him anymore.

"I haven’t finished my meal yet, so wait a bit," Lu Xiao said, gesturing with his hand.

Again, there was utter silence at the scene.

Is this really an academy instructor? Anyone unaware would think he’s a super big shot from the academy.

Even Chasen being a Department Head of the Elemental System, isn’t being given any respect; making him wait like this isn’t really acceptable.

Chasen’s expression darkened.

Even though you’re a Metal System instructor and not directly under my supervision, I am still a Department Head, come on!

"You..."

"Shut your mouth. Annoy me further, and you’ll end up like him," Lu Xiao pointed at Lockyer’s body on the ground.

"You insolent fool, utterly arrogant! Kneel, surrender yourself immediately!" Two advanced superpower users beside Chasen immediately rebuked loudly.

However, no sooner had they finished speaking than two chopsticks pierced through their heads.

"Keep babbling nonsense, and I guarantee, none of you will leave here alive today," Lu Xiao’s gaze swept over to Chasen.

Chasen’s forehead was beaded with cold sweat upon meeting Lu Xiao’s eyes.

Just now, the chopsticks Lu Xiao shot, he didn’t even have time to react.

That meant, if the chopsticks had been aimed at him, he’d already be a corpse now.

This is not an advanced superpower user!

At least, half-step mentor level!

Damn, what’s going on with the Metal System? Not long ago there was Chen Fei, and now another even more monstrous one has appeared.

"Guys, shall we continue?" Lu Xiao looked at Wu Muli and them, smiling as he picked up another pair of chopsticks.

Wu Muli, You Jin, and Napa didn’t move.

They weren’t idiots; if they couldn’t sense something was amiss at this point, then they basically had no brains.

An instructor from the Metal System, daring to kill at will?

An instructor from the Metal System, able to kill advanced superpower users with a flick of chopsticks?

An instructor from the Metal System, bizarrely running to their dorm to bond with them over brotherhood?

Mai Ji!

The three of them almost simultaneously looked at Mai Ji, who continued eating calmly beside Lu Xiao.

"Mai Ji, you sneaky dog, tell us honestly, what kind of backing does my brother Xiao have?!" Wu Muli grabbed Mai Ji by the neck.

Mai Ji scoffed, "Does my brother Xiao need a backing? Joking. Even the dean has to bow and call Mr. Lu respectfully when he sees my brother Xiao."

The eyes of Wu Muli and others were wide with shock. Is it really that ridiculous?

As for Lu Xiao, he looked at Mai Ji with complete satisfaction.

See, that’s what a good brother is like, covering for me willingly...
