Chapter 558 - Powell’s Change (1/2)

Just as Powell and the SEALs were recovering from the shock of the large-scale explosion in the center of the small town, a dark green military vehicle sped noisily towards them from a distance. Then it suddenly halted right in front of the house they were hiding in.

Vrooom! Vrooom! Vrooom!

They raised their guns instinctively, taking aim at the vehicle, ready for action.

And in the next second, the car door swung open, and a figure dressed in camouflage fatigues stepped out, waving at them to come over.

“It’s Mr. Mie, he’s back!” Sarah cried.

She was elated to the point of tears. There was a cheery smile on her face as she raced over to Xiao Luo.

Powell and the other three SEALs stood rooted to their spots in disbelief. The look of bewilderment brought color to their faces.

“He’s back in one piece?” Mina said, stunned.

“This man is terrifying! How did he pull that off?” Rice exclaimed.

It was evident that Xiao Luo was coming from the direction of that massive explosion triggered by him. How did he return in one piece and not sustain any injuries on his body?

Powell did not lower the gun he had raised. His finger was still resting on the trigger as he thought about putting up a fight. If he fired this shot, there was about a 90% chance he would kill this unarmed Hua Nation citizen. But they were still a long way from the shore base, and killing Xiao Luo would mean they would have no one else to turn to for help. If they were to run into any more soldiers, the situation would be dire.

Forget it. The team had to rely on Xiao Luo for the time being!

He made his choice and lowered the gun. He waved his hand to his team and said, “Come on, let’s go!”

Turning to them, Xiao Luo went straight to the point. “Get in. We have to leave this place now!” he urged.

Leave this place?

Powell and the other three soldiers visibly blanched at that suggestion. If they left this town for the desolate Gobi Desert, what if the Libyan rebels caught up with them? They wondered if they would all be annihilated.

As if knowing what the team was thinking, Xiao Luo said, “You don’t have to worry about the rebels here anymore!”

He had said his piece, then took the lead and opened the door, sitting behind the wheel.

They did not have to worry about the rebels anymore?

What did that mean? Yesterday, the man told them not to worry about the Khun Sa Mercenary Corps, and now he was saying the same thing about the rebels. Just what did he mean?

The four of them felt chills run down their spines, and they were shocked. They understood what Xiao Luo was saying, but it was just that they could not believe what they were hearing.

Sarah Michelle, on the other hand, hopped into the vehicle without question. That assurance of his made it clear that they were out of the woods.

…

…

“Mr. Mie, did you cause that explosion?” Sarah asked.

“Yes,” Xiao Luo responded.

“Was that the ammunition storehouse?” she was eagerly asking him.

“Yes,” he replied.

“And the town’s rebels? Did you wipe them all out?”

“No,” he answered with a slight frown.

In the car, Sarah Michelle continued to pose questions at Xiao Luo. He responded curtly with single-word answers.

As the questioning went on, the team seemed more and more surprised at what they were learning from him. They heaved a sigh of relief when Xiao Luo answered that last question with a negative response. There were about 500 soldiers in that town. If Xiao Luo had wiped out all 500 of them alone, then he was something that was far more terrifying than seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

It was impossible to imagine how he had done that. He had almost wiped out the Libyan rebels leaving only a handful of them alive.
