Chapter 547 - The most important thing (2/2)
“If that’s the case, then you don’t have to worry about me, Mr. Rice!”
Xiao Luo’s tone was a little bit cold. He walked straight toward his jeep and took out a new set of camouflage fatigues from his bag. Of course, he wouldn’t be changing his pants in front of all of them, but then again, it still looked pretty alright, rather like a pair of stylish ripped jeans, so he would still continue to wear them.
This Hua Nation soldier is pretty interesting, Rice thought to himself.
Rice and the other members glanced at Powell, implying for him to take note of the kind of att.i.tude he should employ when talking to Xiao Luo.
Powell looked at Xiao Luo sternly and asked, “Mr. Mie, what’s the situation like with Khun Sa and his mercenary corps?”
“You can forget about Khun Sa and his mercenaries. You won’t have to worry about them anymore,” Xiao Luo said, as he pulled up the zipper and began b.u.t.toning up his s.h.i.+rt.
“What do you mean by ‘ignore’ them? Can they no longer track down Ms. Sarah anymore?” Powell asked, furrowing his brows.
Xiao Luo continued to b.u.t.ton up the b.u.t.ton on his neck, then he smiled and said, “I guess you could say that!”
“Mr. Mie, you’re underestimating them. Their individual combat skills are at par with ours, and their ability to track down someone is top-notch. This respite is only temporary, and it won’t take too long before they start coming after Ms. Sarah again like a bunch of hungry wolves,” Powell said.
Xiao Luo smiled a little but didn’t say anything. He couldn’t be bothered to go into the details and explain everything to these bunch of American soldiers.
He turned around to Sarah and said, “I a.s.sume you’re heading toward the coastal base that the Americans are evacuating from?”
Sarah nodded her head and replied, “Mm-hmm, that’s right!”
“I’ll escort you all the way then,” Xiao Luo said.
“I’m ever so grateful to you, Mr. Mie. If I have the chance in the future, I’ll go to Hua Nation and see you there,” Sarah said. Although she had the SEAL team protecting her and making sure that she was safe, she still felt that it was much safer to have Xiao Luo around.
“Ms. Sarah, we’re here; you don’t really need him anymore,” the lone female combatant in the team remarked.
Her facial features looked pretty good, but that was only if you looked at them separately and not if you looked at them as a whole. At first glance, she looked like a man. Her skin looked rosy, but it was rough, and both sides of her cheeks were wrinkled. Her appearance was really ordinary, and the only thing worth mentioning was her figure–she was curvy but not fat.
“Minna, Mr. Mie is very capable. If it wasn’t for him, those devils from Khun Sa’s Mercenary Corps would have finished me off yesterday. He’s also the guy that my grandpa sent from the Hua Nation to rescue me. As far as I am concerned…”
“Ms. Sarah, all you need is us. We’re more than enough!”
Minna repeated herself in a harsher tone. She walked toward Xiao Luo and looked at him arrogantly. “Mr. Mie, right? You’ve already completed your mission here. From now on, Ms. Sarah’s safety has nothing to do with you anymore. You can go now.”
Xiao Luo was stunned by her bluntness but reacted with a smile. “I listen to the orders given to me from above, and the mission they gave me was to guard Sarah Mich.e.l.le. Before we arrive at the American coastal base, I won’t leave,” he responded.
He reminded himself that he was a member of the NSA. Gu Zhanguo had given him this mission as an opportunity to kill Khun Sa. Now that Khun Sa was dead, protecting Sarah Mich.e.l.le was a critical mission for him, and nothing else mattered. Besides, he couldn’t stand this arrogant and male-looking like woman, and if he just did according to what she said, he wouldn’t be Xiao Luo.
