Chapter 650: You’ve Become Handsome
The aide thought briefly and said, “Is it possible that Mie is operating independently and that this is not a mission sanctioned from the Hua Nation’s higher-ups?”
“That could very well be the case.”
President Bama had a grave look on his face. “Convey my words to the FBI—I want them to identify if the person who created that b.l.o.o.d.y mess in Ri nation, the Thousand-Faced Killer, Xiao Han, has entered our country. Do it quick, and if he’s already in Mei nation, then kill him no matter what it takes. I don’t want him to cause the same mess here,” he said.
The secretary nodded his head and replied, “Understood.”
“If Xiao Han is Mie, then this will be pretty interesting. After killing him, I will have to visit the Hua Nation. I look forward to seeing what kind of expression they will have on their faces,” President Bama said slyly.
He then remembered that there was another small country he meant to call. He picked up the hotline used to contact leaders from around the world directly and dialed a number. He waited for a moment before he spoke, “h.e.l.lo, is this Moss? I heard your country is developing some nuclear weapons, is that true?”
Repeating the same old trick, he got ready to extort some other nation for more money again.
…
The Ri nation released news regarding the Thousand-Faced Killer and notified their entire populace. But here in the Mei nation, the authorities did not circulate any information to avoid causing panic among their citizens.
The FBI deployed countless officers in plain clothes to search through every street, making them look just like any other ordinary American citizen.
Xiao Luo had been avoiding the FBI for the past couple of days. There was no need for him to confront them as yet. He was the one who posted the message about blowing up the White House, and this was just the beginning. He wanted to make all the Mei nation politicians experience some fear and anxiety. It was part of his vengeance for Xie Wenchang and his family.
Xiao Luo chose the 6th of July as the date for the bombing to allow the authorities more time to better prepare for it. He didn’t want to harm the innocent, and his only aim was to blow up the White House.
As one of the four leading families in Mei nation, the Mich.e.l.le family was aware of what the FBI was doing. When Sarah Mich.e.l.le found out that Mie, the one who saved her, might be in Was.h.i.+ngton, she prepared several news articles. Leveraging on the influence of her family, she managed to get her articles on the headlines of most newspapers.
See you in flamenco at noon on the 4th!
That sentence was right at the top of the article, and it meant that she’d see him in Flamenco restaurant at noon on the 4th, and she would not leave until she met him. She felt that as a member of Hua Nation’s NSA, Xiao Luo would spot it and come as scheduled.
On that day, Sarah wore a pink short-sleeved s.h.i.+rt and paired it with a pair of light blue shorts. She looked just like an innocent and beautiful sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. Her long blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her face was pale but as rosy as the color of cherry. Her eyelashes were long, her eyes sparkling blue, her nose well-formed, and her lips were a luscious red. She looked just like a Barbie doll.
She was a famous journalist in the newsgathering industry, but the public barely paid much attention to reporters, which made the chances of her being recognized very slim. She sat casually in the restaurant without her sungla.s.ses, with no fear of being recognized.
She had specially dressed up today because she knew that Hua Nation man was fond of such a “young and trendy” look, making her look cute. On the internet, she picked up on the word “girly,” so she tried to look a little more pet.i.te. And her curvy figure was a perfect fit for this outfit.
It was already 12:30 pm, yet she still could not spot Xiao Luo.
Was it possible that he didn’t even spot the clue she published in the papers?
Or was it because he never even set foot in the Mei nation?
But according to the report the FBI provided, the Thousand-Faced Killer, who perpetrated the carnage in the Ri nation, was Xiao Luo.
All sorts of thoughts crossed Sarah Mich.e.l.le’s mind, and she was beginning to feel disappointed.
Just as her patience was about to reach its lowest point, a cool breeze blew lightly, and suddenly a man was sitting right opposite to her. He had neat black hair, knife-shaped eyebrows, and a pair of deep and penetrating black eyes. It couldn’t be anyone else other than that man, Mie, who saved her back in Libya.
Sarah was elated to see Xiao Luo. “Mr. Mie, you’re here!” she said, then quickly lowered her voice to a whisper, “I thought you failed to catch the coded message that I posted in the news article.”
“How is that coded message?”
Xiao Luo rolled his eyes and said, “Anyone would be able to see it just by reading through the articles, and If this was the era of ancient Hua Nation secret agents, you would already have died several times over by now.”
Sarah didn’t seem to mind being reprimanded at all. She was extremely happy to once again meet the man who had saved her life countless times. She called for the waiter and ordered some food.
“Mr. Mie, you’ve become a lot more handsome!” Sarah praised.
Xiao Luo ignored her comment and asked, “What’s the matter, why are you looking for me?”
Sarah smiled girlishly and shook her head.”Nothing much, I just wanted to meet you,” she replied.
“Don’t you know that I’m currently on the FBI’s wanted list?” Xiao Luo asked, wondering if she wasn’t afraid of getting into trouble by meeting him.
Sarah nodded her head and said, “I know. My brother is a senior investigator in the FBI. I also know all the things that you’ve done in Ri nation, especially the fact that you guided one of their missiles and bombed the Yasukuni Shrine. Now, all my hatred is sated.”
“It’s not like they invaded your country, why do you hate them so?” Xiao Luo said brusquely.
“Though Ri nation might not have invaded our country, they used to be fascist, and I’m sure many of us have a deep hatred for the fascists,” Sarah responded.
Xiao Luo smiled mockingly and said, “Times are changing. Those fascists back in the days have, in one way or another, have become Mei nation’s dog. Your people are the ones providing support and technology for the genetic engineering facility in Ri nation.”
“Does that mean you’re trying to create havoc in my country now?” Sarah asked, looking slightly aghast.
“Be it an individual or a country, they have to pay for what they’ve done,” Xiao Luo replied.
“Mr. Mie, I strongly advise you not to do that. Although I know that you’re a super warrior from Hua Nation, that your powers are unparalleled and you have incredible skills, but I have to remind you of this. Since Mei nation can provide Ri nation with the technology and support, when it comes to the genetically engineered warriors, what we have right now is nothing like what you saw in Ri nation.”
Besides, I’ve heard that the technology that we provided to Ri nation was a little flawed. The real genetic warriors have already been developed successfully here. If the authorities release them, they can even lock onto your breathing. No matter how you change your appearance, you won’t be able to escape from them,” Sarah Mich.e.l.le said. She didn’t want to see Xiao Luo becoming an enemy of the Mei nation federal government.
Xiao Luo snorted and replied, “If the technology has already been successfully developed, then why didn’t they deploy the warriors to save you in Libya?”
“Though my Mich.e.l.le family might have a great influence in the Mei nation, my life alone isn’t enough to justify the government deploying this top-secret destructive weapon,” Sarah said.
“Alright, let’s stop talking about this matter. The steak is here, let’s eat. I’m hungry,” Xiao Luo said, tucking the napkin into his collar, and getting ready to dig in.
Sarah knew that she wouldn’t be able to persuade him and wasn’t too bothered about it. She poured Xiao Luo a gla.s.s of red wine and lifted her gla.s.s. “Mr. Mie, no matter what you do here in Mei nation, we’ll always be friends. That I can see you again makes me thrilled.”
Xiao Luo returned the gesture and said, “Your outfit and makeup today makes you look really pretty.”
“Thank you,” Sarah said with a smile.
