Chapter 547 - The most important thing (1/2)
“Mr. Mie, I’m so happy to see that you’re back alive!”
Sarah jumped out of the jeep. She looked genuinely happy and excitedly as she ran toward Xiao Luo and gave Xiao Luo a hug.
Xiao Luo didn’t say anything, but of course, he wasn’t about to leave either. The mission that NSA had given him was of a top priority now that Khun Sa was dead. He had to ensure this woman in front of him left this war zone safely no matter what.
Sarah quickly introducing Xiao Luo to the muscular black guy. “Captain Powell, he’s the warrior from Hua Nation that I told you guys about–Mr. Mie,” she said.
“I already figured that, Ms. Sarah!”
Powell nodded his head to show his respect and then extended his hand out to Xiao Luo. “My name is Powell Smith. Pleased to meet you, Mr. Mie,” he said.
“I’m really pleased to meet you as well,” Xiao Luo replied, shaking his hand in mutual respect.
He thought it was just going to be an ordinary handshake, but as soon as he shook his hand, Xiao Luo furrowed his eyebrows a little. This muscular black man called Powell increased his grip all of a sudden. Although stunned for a bit, Xiao Luo remained calm and increased his grip as well.
Powell had large hands, and he thought this would be enough to embarrass Xiao Luo, who looked weak. When it came to comparing the strength of their grip, he was confident that he had the upper hand, but in the next second, the color of his face changed suddenly. The other party’s hand was like that of a steel plier that clutched onto him without letting him go. That kind of strength made it hard for him to withstand, and his five fingers were squeezed together in an instant. He felt the bones in his fingers were about to crack.
“Mr. Mie, what are you guys doing?” Sarah asked. She was looking at the both of them, gripping tightly onto one another’s hand, and noticed that something didn’t seem right.
Xiao Luo laughed a little and let go of his hand. “I think I’m getting along pretty well with Mr. Powell even though this is our first meeting. It feels like I’m meeting a really old friend,” he said.
Powell quickly recovered from his surprise and pitched in. “Mr. Mie is right. Although we’re warriors from two different countries, we’re getting along so well despite it being our first meeting. How odd!”
Then, he tried his best to keep the smile on his face, but his hand was feeling sore and numb, and he was even trembling a little. He thought he could embarrass Xiao Luo, but almost made a fool out of himself, and he could barely control the look on his face now. Sarah Michelle may not have been able to tell, but the members from his special forces team could clearly see what was going on there.
“That’s right, this is so weird indeed!”
Xiao Luo smiled a little. To think that he tried to embarrass him even though they just met. This just went to show that what Ji Siying had warned him about was true, and the members of the American SEAL team didn’t have a good impression of the soldiers from Hua Nation. They were always treating Hua Nation as an imaginary enemy during exercises, and so it had conditioned the SEAL team to treat them as their enemy.
At this moment, a very tall white man stood out. He looked at Xiao Luo with burning eyes and asked, “Mr. Mie, why do you look so pathetic? Your clothes are so torn up, even the nipples on your chest are showing. Were you robbed by someone?”
After saying that, all the members of the SEAL team started sniggering.
Xiao Luo looked at Sarah and asked, “This person is?”
“Rice Broly, he’s their vice-captain!”
Sarah had only met the SEAL team members last night, but she was already familiar with every member, explaining why she knew his name. After replying to Xiao Luo, she then turned to Rice and said, “Lieutenant Rice, Mr. Mie went to Brule City last night to fight with Khun Sa’s Mercenary Corps. I’ve already explained everything to all of you clearly, so why are you asking this question on purpose? Are you guys trying to mock Mr. Mie?”
“Mock him?”
He smirked and thought to himself, wasn’t that obvious enough?
