Healing the downtrodden S-class orcs, the little females are being snatched up

Chapter 142: Bullshit.

The moment she heard Fred's voice, Lu Xiao stopped struggling and let Fred protect her and quickly come to a hidden corner.

She looked up at the man in the black cloak. Before she could speak, Fred said, "I'll take you away now. Don't worry. I've already contacted Admiral Crane, and they're ready to pick you up."

Lu Xiao was not surprised to hear this: "Does Ares know about it too?"

Seeing that Lu Xiao was not concerned about himself at the first time, but Ares, Fred felt an indescribable jealousy in his heart, but he suppressed it: "Admiral Clan will inform him."

"That's good." Lu Xiao seemed to be relieved, then her expression turned serious and she asked, "Lieutenant General Fred is here because of the potion?"

It has already been analyzed that the purpose of the Black Tower kidnapping Lu Xiao is probably related to the news that she cured the S-level male and successfully recovered and left the S-level shelter.

Lu Xiao had met Banlun, and Banlun must have revealed the information about the potion to her. However, Fred was not sure how much Lu Xiao knew about the potion at this moment.

"Yes, recently many females have gone missing in the star regions below three stars in the empire. It is suspected that they were abducted into the Black Tower. The disappearance of these females may be related to the potion currently under development."

Lu Xiao didn't expect that there would be something female about this.

His brows furrowed. “Isn’t it said that females in the empire are protected by law and have the highest authority? How dare these people?”

"The jurisdiction of star regions below three stars is not strong enough, and the status of these females is not high. Most importantly, the Black Tower is against female rights."

If the females of the empire were not given greater protection, the Black Tower would probably not mind attacking the females of the empire directly. Isn't Lu Xiao the best example?

However, the Black Tower’s positioning of Lu Xiao is obviously different from those of ordinary females.

What they valued was Lu Xiao's healing ability.

When Lu Xiao heard the words "anti-feminism", she understood.

"What do you mean by the potion being related to these females? I just asked Kro and he said something about the side effects of the potion, but when I asked him about the potion development process, he reacted strongly and refused to tell me."

Having said that, Lu Xiao already had an idea in her mind.

Fred didn't expect that she and Kro not only enjoyed delicious food together, but also got to know this information: "It seems that Kro trusts you very much."

"It's not trust. Most of the time, these issues are irrelevant to him." Lu Xiao didn't think that just spending a short time with Kro could break the barriers between their identities.

Seeing that Lu Xiao did not let down her guard, Fred's eyes lit up with approval: "Let's go, I'll take you away."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao did not move. Instead, she looked up at the pale and thin man hidden under the black cloak. Lu Xiao could not help wondering how long Fred had been hiding here and how much of the mission he had completed. "If you send me away, will it expose your identity here?"

Fred's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that Lu Xiao had considered this. Was she caring about him?
"There is this risk, but your safety is more important." Lu Xiao shook her head: "I have an idea. I might be able to complete the mission better if I stay. Listen, Ban Lun needs my ability and will definitely let me get in touch with the most core secrets. I also want to see the potion. If it is really as magical as they say, this kind of thing should not be left in the hands of people like Ban Lun. Since they need me, my safety will not be a problem, and I am not as weak as you look."

Otherwise, she would have died at the beginning of the apocalypse, so how could she suffer until the end of the apocalypse.

It’s just a way to save life, and it’s rarely mentioned to outsiders. Moreover, since coming here, my life has not been threatened so far.

However, Fred rejected her proposal immediately: "I know you are very capable, but this is too risky for you, and it is not your responsibility."

"You are right. This is indeed not my responsibility. I don't know how long you have been hiding here, nor do I know the progress of your mission. But I feel that it is more meaningful for me to stay here than for you. I can also quickly understand and grasp the core things. Let's not make the problem difficult. Besides, I cherish my life very much. If I don't have absolute confidence, I won't stay even if you ask me to. It's decided. Let the people outside prepare to meet us. We should go back. Was it you who caused the chaos just now?"

Lu Xiao was right. During the one month he was hiding here, he gained less than during the one day Lu Xiao was here. She was more suitable to complete this task than him.

He understood it intellectually, but emotionally, Fred couldn't help but worry. However, Lu Xiao had obviously made up her mind: "If you encounter danger, I will choose to take you away as soon as possible. The chaos was created by my people."

"Is there anyone else here?"

"There are five people in total, but there are only three left now." As for the whereabouts of the other two, Fred did not ask, but how could Lu Xiao not understand.

He raised his eyes and looked at Fred, "Don't come out. Kro should be looking for me. If you don't reveal your identity, our chances of winning will be better. That's it, contact us later."

Lu Xiao didn't give Fred much chance to think. She took off her cloak and threw it to him. She turned around and quickly returned to the noisy crowd, messing up her hair and clothes, looking extremely embarrassed.

When Kro came over, Lu Xiao's eyes were filled with tears. She took the initiative to ask, "Where have you been? Why did you come just now? I don't know what happened here just now. It suddenly became chaotic. I was scared to death."

Kro looked at Lu Xiao, who had just been calm and composed but now looked pale and in a mess. The panic he had just felt because he couldn't find Lu Xiao disappeared. What on earth was he worried about? How could the little female leave here by herself? "Just now someone mistakenly thought there was a bomb here, but now the danger has been eliminated. Are you okay? Are you injured?"

"Bomb?" Lu Xiao looked horrified. "Why is there a bomb here?"

Kro looked at Lu Xiao, whose face was a little dirty, and smiled: "Have you forgotten where this is? Isn't it normal to have such things in our place? I'll take you back. I think you need to rest now."

"You're right, this place is different from what I thought. I want to go home, Crowe."

When saying the last sentence, Lu Xiao even reached out and gently tugged at Kro's sleeve, showing her vulnerability to the fullest.

I'm sorry, brother, you're the only one here. Who else can I fool if not you?

Kro's heart started beating wildly because of her action.

He had witnessed Lu Xiao's generosity, naturalness and thoughtfulness before, and now seeing the little female showing fear and panic, the softest part of his heart was deeply poked.
