Chapter 666 - Get out of here immediately (2/2)
Xiao Luo looked around the aircraft and broke the storage drawer with his bare hand. He took out a spare new camouflage combat suit. He estimated the fit and then put it on.
The copilot felt insecure as he stared at Xiao Luo, who was putting on the combat suit. Even though he had a revolver in his hand, he still could not help but shake uncontrollably. It was a harrowing experience to be so close to a monster that even bombs and bullets could not kill. He no longer felt in control of his life.
“Jet 55. Come in, over. Reply if you hear this. Urgent. Reply immediately!” The Secretary of Defense’s voice came through the communication channel.
The two pilots did not dare to reply. They looked at Xiao Luo in fear and waited for his instruction.
Xiao Luo was putting on a beige combat boot and looked pleased that it was comfortable. He did not bother to look up and continued to put on the other boot. “Answer him,” he ordered.
“Roger.”
The copilot nodded and replied, “Jet 55, copy. Jet 55, copy. Over!”
“Report the location of Xiao Han, the Thousand-Face Killer, immediately!” Arnold ordered.
They both looked at Xiao Luo with fear. The copilot replied with a shaky voice, “Xiao Han, the Thousand-Face Killer, he…he’s in our jet right now.”
“What?”
That reply had made everyone in the Washington underground base gasp. When that bone-chilling response came through the communication channel, they felt as if Xiao Luo was standing before them.
Arnold, the Secretary of Defense, calmed himself down and said, “Let me talk to him!”
The copilot held the walkie-talkie, and then he turned to Xiao Luo. “Mr. Xiao… Mr. Xiao Han, our Secretary of Defense has something to say,” he said nervously.
Xiao Luo had just finished putting on his outfit. He took a glance at the walkie-talkie and asked calmly, “What do you want?”
Hearing his voice, everyone in the Washington underground base shuddered involuntarily. Xiao Luo terrorized them.
“Mr. Xiao Han, I am Arnold, the Secretary of Defense. I am expressing our utmost sincere apology to you on behalf of the entire Mei Nation!” Arnold said.
Xiao Luo felt amused and teased, “I’ve destroyed an entire legion of your army, and you’re apologizing to me?”
Arnold felt awkward, and the others who were listening felt somewhat overwhelmed. No one had ever put the Mei Nation in such a subservient position. But Xiao Luo’s power had exceeded their expectation, so they had to give in.
“Mr. Xiao Han, I am sincerely pleading with you to stop your action. We can discuss the issue, and I believe that this matter is negotiable,” Arnold said politely. He had presented himself in a humble disposition.
“Stop my action now? Do you mean to stop me from destroying your invisible jet research base?” Xiao Luo snapped.
“Yes, we would provide you with a favorable trade-off,” Arnold continued.
“I’m afraid that this matter is not negotiable. I am going to destroy that invisible jet research base for sure.”
Xiao Luo coldly interrupted him and continued, “Everything will be over once I destroy it. I will leave the Mei Nation on my own. But of course, if you want me to remain here, I’ll stay for a while more.”
Stay for a while more?
Every cabinet minister looked uncomfortable when they heard him say that.
Xiao Luo had only been in the Mei Nation for a few days and had already caused so much destruction. Citizens were protesting everywhere in the country. If Xiao Luo stayed for a little longer, he would stir up another bout of chaos for the Mei Nation.
No, absolutely not. The federal government needed to send that jinx away. The sooner, the better. The farther, the better. They had to make sure that he never returned to the Mei Nation again!
The cabinet ministers gave Arnold the same look of agreement. They would give in to his every demand. If he wanted to destroy the invisible jet base, let him do it, they thought. They could rebuild it within four to five years, in the worst-case scenario. At that moment, the priority was to get that uncompromising monster out of their country as soon as possible.
