Chapter 667: Trouble-causing Lyon
Xiao Luo was much too powerful, and he was as terrifying as Ares, the mythical ancient Greek G.o.d of War.
The federal government, under the leaders.h.i.+p of the Secretary of Defense, Arnold, had given in to Xiao Luo after the complete annihilation of their army in the Mojave Desert. They immediately evacuated all personnel in the invisible jet research base before Xiao Luo could destroy it. They had also revoked Xiao Luo"s internal wanted order and warned the FBI and the police not to confront nor antagonize him. The federal government would denounce anyone who disobeyed these orders as traitors of the Mei nation.
All of them hope that Xiao Luo would leave the Mei nation as soon as possible and refrain from causing any further destruction in their country. There were ongoing protests by their citizens, and they faced heavy criticism from the international community. The federal government was as helpless as a lone leaf floating in a vast sea. Xiao Luo had pushed them into a corner, and they were in a vulnerable state.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
There were a series of ma.s.sive explosions in the Mojave Desert. Within minutes, the invisible jet research base became a field of ruins.
President Bama soon snapped out of his state of stupor when received a call from the Prime Minister of the Ri nation, Anbei, who expressed his sympathies. The two leaders knew the agonizing pain the other had suffered, and they cursed the Hua nation and Xiao Luo bitterly, like two kids who had been bullied by the same guy. If they had been in the same room, they would have probably hugged each other and cried.
It was seven o"clock at night. A pretty lady was standing at the front gate of the University of Was.h.i.+ngton.
Huang Ruoran had donned an aqublue slip dress and was patiently waiting for Ian. Ever since she dated him, she had made an effort to dress herself up better. She had some light make-up on, which further enhanced her delicate features. She looked like a youthful G.o.ddess with a hint of cla.s.s and gracefulness. The ends of her pitch-black hair curled slightly, and the two silver earrings provided an appealing contrast as they shone like s.h.i.+ning stars.
She was in love, and the little effort she made to dress up enhanced her natural beauty to a greater height.
Xiao Luo arrived by cab and immediately spotted her standing in the crowd.
He went straight to her after alighting from the car.
When he was a few meters away from her, Huang Ruoran saw him. After a slight pause, she greeted him. “Xiao Luo.”
“You"re waiting for someone?” Xiao Luo asked.
Huang Ruoran"s gut instinct was to deny it, but she quickly decided against it. She was not doing anything wrong, so she acknowledged him with a nod. “Yes, I"m waiting for Ian.”
“You don"t have to. Ian won"t be here anymore.” Xiao Luo said.
Won"t be here anymore?
Huang Ruoran was slightly shocked as she did not understand what Xiao Luo was trying to say.
“He worked with the Mei nation federal government and had unfortunately been killed in a battle. Before he died, he wanted you to know that he loved you very much. He would risk giving everything he had for you, including his life!” Xiao Luo did not convey to her what Ian had told him to. He felt Huang Ruoran should remember Ian for his kindness and not hate him. Ian deserved that. Although she would go through a sorrowful experience, it would make Huang Ruoran grow.
Has been killed?
Ian has been killed?
Huang Ruoran was utterly stunned, and her face froze. Her eyes immediately turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
She stared at Xiao Luo with a blank look and finally started crying uncontrollably. “How did you know about it?” she asked.
“It was a coincidence.”
Xiao Luo said calmly and turned around to leave. He knew that Huang Ruoran was conscious of her image and was stubborn by nature. She would not show her softer side in the presence of others. Xiao Luo now finally believed that she and Ian had truly loved each other. Ian"s death had crushed her, and it would be better if she cried and vented out the emotion.
“Xiao Luo, are you Xiao Han, the Thousand-faced Killer?”
Huang Ruoran tried to quell her sadness and shouted at Xiao Luo"s back. She had suspected Xiao Luo ever since she saw that man in a Chinese mask on the live stream a few days ago. They had a very similar voice.
Xiao Luo stopped but did not turn to look at her. He answered, “That"s not a problem you should worry about.”
When he finished, he continued to walk toward the cab, waiting for him by the roadside.
Huang Ruoran could no longer contain her emotion and squatted down to weep. She knew that Xiao Luo was Xiao Han, the Thousand-faced Killer. She also knew that he would not lie to her about Ian. Ian had been incredibly caring, and that made her fall in love quickly. But that man had left the world forever. It was so sudden and was a heavy blow to her.
“Hey, pretty lady. Why are you crying? Your make-up is smudging!”
A young Caucasian man from the University of Was.h.i.+ngton approached Huang Ruoran. He was blonde and had a pair of emerald-green eyes. He was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt and looked like a prince.
He was handsome, tall, and bearded. Many girls would consider such a man as Prince Charming.
Huang Ruoran ignored him and walked toward the University of Was.h.i.+ngton.
The two bodyguards in black suits blocked her way as the Caucasian introduced himself. “Pretty lady, nice to meet you. I"m Lyon. Lyon Kennedy!” he said with a smile.
He had emphasized the name, “Kennedy,” as everyone knew that the Kennedy family was one of the four famous families of the Mei nation. That last name was like a golden pa.s.sport. Lyon came to the University of Was.h.i.+ngton to pick up girls. But he did not find anyone he liked after walking around the university grounds. He had not expected to see a girl at the school gate that could make his heart beat faster. That was a pleasant surprise.
She looked Asian. She was probably either from Hua nation, Ri nation, or Han nation. She was in her prime years, and if he could savor her body, it would be eternal bliss as far as he was concerned.
“You look sad. Is something bothering you? Why don"t I take you to a movie? My family operates all the movie theatres in Was.h.i.+ngton. You can choose whichever theatre you wish, and I"ll even book the entire cinema just for you.”
“F*ck off!”
Huang Ruoran screamed at him.
That surprised Lyon, as he did not expect it to turn out that way. Since persuasion did not work, he would do it by force. He turned cold and said, “Do you f*cking know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this. Are you asking for trouble?”
Huang Ruoran was not in the mood for this jerk"s advances and tried to make her way around the bodyguards.
But, just as she did, the two bodyguards extended their arms to block her path.
“Move!” Huang Ruoran yelled angrily.
“Move? Fine. Go to a movie with me and have s.e.x with me. Then you shall get whatever you want!”
Lyon continued to pressure her and said, “Pretty lady, you"ve nothing to lose oping out with me. I"ll pay you two hundred thousand dollars–think about it. A wh.o.r.e can"t even earn this much in a year. All you have to do is to accompany me for one night. It"s two hundred grand! You can buy whatever you want with that. You can also travel anywhere you want. It"s an opportunity of a lifetime! Don"t worry, I know that you Asian ladies are fragile, so I"ll be extra gentle in bed.”
“You"re a dirty b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
Huang Ruoran was furious. Without thinking, she kicked him hard in the crotch.
