Healing a Fallen S-Rank Beastman: Everyone Fights Over the Little Female Chapter 214: Idea

Lu Xiao’s voice was calm when she spoke, as if she were chatting with an old friend she hadn’t seen in ages.

C Luo hadn’t expected Lu Xiao to not only rember him, but also the words they had exchanged before.

Her words caused his expression to shift slightly, but he quickly composed himself. He chuckled. "You haven’t forgotten . That makes happy. As for what you said... of course I rember. It’s just that I can’t follow through on it anymore."

He no longer had a choice.

A trace of regret crossed C Luo’s face as he spoke.

"How can you say you can’t when you haven’t even tried? Just because soone has lived in the abyss for a long ti doesn’t an they belong to it. C Luo, you..."

"Don’t say another word, Your Excellency Lu Xiao. I know what you’re doing. You want to convince to turn back, but I know very well there’s no turning back from what I’ve done. Thank you for your concern, but it’s a concern I don’t need. Besides, you’ve lied to before. Now, I can’t tell if you’re lying to again. So, Your Excellency Lu Xiao, please step inside. A one-for-one trade. You have no objections, do you?"

In that mont, Lu Xiao understood. C Luo wouldn’t listen to a word she said.

He wasn’t lying, after all. She really had done that to him back at the Black Tower.

Lu Xiao sighed. Just as she prepared to step forward, Admiral Clan grabbed her arm. "Don’t go!"

Noticing their interaction, C Luo spoke again. "I trust you’ve received my previous gift, Your Excellency Lu Xiao. You should know full well what we’re doing. You can refuse, but as for this teacher... we’ll just have to process her as excellent nourishnt. Coincidentally, we’ve never experinted on a therapist before. Perhaps she’s just the raw material we’ve been looking for."

It was a threat. A blatant, undisguised threat. Everyone knew it, yet they were powerless to refuse.

"Don’t be reckless! Let Teacher Sherry go, C Luo! Stop this. Nothing good will co of it!" Lu Xiao then turned to Admiral Clan. "Father, if I go, Teacher Sherry has a chance to live. They won’t do anything to ."

Admiral Clan knew he couldn’t stop Lu Xiao, but he couldn’t bear to let her go. Watching his own little female cub walk into danger was, for the first ti in his long military career, a challenge he didn’t know how to face.

"Your Excellency Lu Xiao, you’re out of ti to stall. I’ll count to ten. If you’re not over here by then, I’m afraid you’ll never see this teacher again!"

"No need to count. I’m coming." Lu Xiao broke free from Admiral Clan’s grasp and strode toward C Luo, stopping a short distance away. "Let Teacher Sherry go."

C Luo smiled at her and let go. A chanical cart appeared beside him. He placed Teacher Sherry on it, and the cart began to move toward the outside.

As Teacher Sherry drew closer and closer, everyone tensed, ready to act. The mont Teacher Sherry was clear, Admiral Clan lunged for Lu Xiao. He was going to get his little female cub back!

RUMBLE!

The ground suddenly lurched. Chunks of rock fell from the walls. Lu Xiao instinctively braced herself against a wall. By the ti she had her balance, C Luo had grabbed her other hand. The heavy door slamd shut again, blocking her view, but the ground continued to shake.

Lu Xiao snapped back to her senses and glared at C Luo. "What did you do?"

C Luo smiled at her. "We did what should have been done long ago. Your Excellency Lu Xiao, since you’ve co, don’t even think about leaving. You’re not going back this ti. Just relax and stay here with us."

Lu Xiao shoved him away. The forr warmth in her eyes was gone, replaced by an icy chill. "If anything happens to the people outside, I will never forgive you. Where is Platinum?"

He seed surprised that she ntioned Platinum, but his expression quickly smoothed over into one of acceptance. "So you already know who he is."

"I’m not an idiot. I won’t be deceived by you forever." Lu Xiao steadied her nerves. ’Things have already co to this,’ she thought. ’There’s no turning back for anyone. We can only press forward.’ She believed Admiral Clan would never give up on rescuing her. All she needed was an opportunity.

’At the very least,’ she was certain that after C Luo and Platinum had gone to such lengths to get her here, it wasn’t to kill her.

’In terms of safety, she should be secure for now.’

’I’ll just have to take it one step at a ti.’

Seeing this complete shift in her attitude, so unlike her usual gentleness, made C Luo deeply uncomfortable.

But he also knew all too well: there was no going back.

Forcibly suppressing the bitter feeling in his heart, C Luo said, "You don’t need to be so hostile toward . I won’t do anything to you. If you want to see Platinum, follow ."

Lu Xiao didn’t answer, simply following him down the corridor.

After passing through a series of encrypted doors, they finally arrived deep inside the underground base. Platinum, dressed in a white lab coat and gold-rimd glasses, was working at an instrunt. Hearing them approach, he turned, a smile instantly spreading across his face as he rose. "Your Excellency Lu Xiao, welco to Black Tower headquarters."

"So it really was you. Back in the Underground City, you were the one watching through the monitors, weren’t you?"

Platinum smiled, his face a mask of harmless innocence. However, there was no trace of the shy, weak deanor he’d shown before. It had all clearly been a disguise.

"You’re as sharp as ever, Your Excellency Lu Xiao. Nothing gets past you." He then glanced at C Luo. "Her Excellency has co a long way. Get her sothing to eat."

While he spoke, Lu Xiao’s gaze had already drifted to the various instrunts nearby. The scale of this facility was even larger than what she had seen in the Underground City.

This was clearly the Black Tower’s main lair. Platinum himself had just called it the headquarters.

"Don’t be in such a hurry to see everything. You’ll have a long ti here, Your Excellency. Plenty of ti to get acquainted with it all. I believe that with your abilities and wisdom, we can create sothing truly wonderful for all the males in the Empire. We might even be able to help them completely break free from the affliction of ntal instability. If that happens, you’ll surely beco the most revered female in history. You must be thrilled, right?"

As he finished speaking, Platinum reached out a finger, as if to touch Lu Xiao’s cheek, but she coldly evaded him. "Behave yourself!"

Hearing this, Platinum suddenly laughed as if he’d heard a hilarious joke. "I heard you insist on having only one partner and that you rejected Admiral Fred’s confession. Is that true?"

"What does that have to do with you?" As she said it, Lu Xiao was actually quite surprised. ’He even knows about that?’ The fact that he did was proof they had been investigating and tracking her for a long ti without her knowledge.

"Of course it has sothing to do with it. You’re not going back, you see. You can only stay here and be my female master. HAHAHA! But no rush. I’ll give you ti to accept it."
