Chapter 976 - 733: You Really Are Crazy_3
Lu Xiao bowed in salute and said gently, "Big Boss is overthinking it. If I were really going to hide, I should be hiding from the Young Miss."
Mo Yan let out a cold laugh. "Wei’er taking a liking to you is your blessing. Even if you hide from her, so what? It won’t change anything!"
Lu Xiao said, "Big Boss knows very well that I have not agreed to this marriage. I ask Big Boss to withdraw the decree."
Mo Yan looked at the ungrateful young man in front of him, his expression displeased, his voice carrying a hint of threat. "You know your own body very clearly. You can’t live without us. Sooner or later you’ll have to marry Wei’er and assist her! Rather than hiding and resisting, you’d better accept your fate early; you’ll suffer less that way."
Lu Xiao merely lowered his head slightly and said nothing more.
Seeing him so silent, Mo Yan’s face immediately turned unpleasant. "What, you’re that unwilling? You look down on my daughter?"
Lu Xiao’s tone remained calm and composed, without a trace of overstepping or offense. "Big Boss is taking it the wrong way. It’s me who feels ashamed and inferior, thinking that I’m not worthy of the Young Miss. The Young Miss should have a better choice."
Mo Yan roared, "If I say you’re worthy, you’re worthy! Wei’er likes you, that means you’re worthy!"
Lu Xiao said with difficulty, "Big Boss and the Young Miss are raising me up too high. I..."
Mo Yan didn’t want to hear his quibbling, as if he’d already heard it a thousand times. He waved his hand and impatiently cut him off. "Stop feeding me that nonsense. I don’t want to hear those displeasing words."
His gaze turned dangerous as he looked at Lu Xiao. "My daughter is so outstanding, there are countless people in this world who want to become her partner, yet you keep rejecting her... You’re this unwilling to marry her, don’t tell me you’re still hung up on that Foreign Clan female?"
As he spoke, Mo Yan released his overwhelming pressure in full, surging out like a tidal wave.
Mo Yan had already broken through the Primordial Beast Realm and become an even more powerful existence. This supreme pressure was like a ten‑thousand‑jin giant cauldron weighing down on Lu Xiao’s body; even a Primordial Beast Tier Beastman would have to submit and kneel!
Let alone a Beastman injected with Return Nest, whose willpower should have long been worn away in endless pain and torment.
Yet the man before him still wore a respectful, docile expression, but his spine was straight as a pine, not bending in the slightest. Only his hands were clenched into tight fists, fingers digging into his palms so hard that faint traces of blood could be seen seeping out.
Really knows how to grit his teeth and hold on!
Mo Yan coldly snorted, retracted his pressure, and looked icily at the young man before him, thinking to himself: this really is the first time he’s misjudged someone!
Before, he’d assumed this brat had truly settled down and submitted to Sky City, but unexpectedly, behind his back the kid still had so many schemes, even secretly gathering quite a bit of influence without Mo Yan knowing.
If not for that incident last time exposing things and forcing Mo Yan to conduct a thorough investigation, he might still not know all the tricks this brat was pulling in secret!
But even if this kid has been secretly doing all that right under his nose, what good does it do?
It’s nothing but meaningless struggle!
From the moment he was injected with Return Nest, he already had no way out.
"That little female of yours has already been caught. From now on, put away those thoughts and serve Sky City with peace of mind. As for everything in the past, I can let bygones be bygones." Mo Yan’s words were more like an order.
To be honest, the strong always recognize and appreciate each other.
Mo Yan still valued Lu Xiao highly; otherwise he wouldn’t have let him sit in this position—that status of truly being above ten thousand, and beneath only one.
If it were anyone else, this kind of restless troublemaker would have long since been killed by him. He wouldn’t even consider giving such a person this treatment, much less spend so much effort on him.
After all, a talent so fit to rule a state would be too much of a waste to kill.
As long as he can obey orders, stay loyal and submissive, he’ll be a tremendous asset to Sky City.
With him assisting Wu Wei, Mo Yan could rest easy.
He was determined to marry him to Wu Wei!
Lu Xiao remained silent, with little true emotion visible on his face. Even hearing Mo Yan say all that, his expression did not change in the slightest, not the least bit anxious, as if what Mo Yan spoke of was some unrelated stranger.
He seemed not to care about that female at all, her life or death having nothing to do with him, which was a far cry from how he’d once risked exposure to escort that female out.
Mo Yan also found it somewhat strange in his heart.
Just as he was wondering whether this brat was only putting on a facade, someone suddenly came hurrying in to report, bending close to the Big Boss’s ear to whisper something.
Big Boss Mo Yan’s expression changed drastically. "What?"
His whole aura went chaotic. He shot Lu Xiao a vicious look, but had no time to say anything more. He turned around in a rage and strode off in a rush.
On the other side, Jin quickly headed toward the laboratory, and as expected, passed through many checkpoints along the way.
When he reached the first checkpoint, those Beastmen surrounded him tightly.
Jin directly produced the Token.
When those Beastmen saw the Token, their expressions changed drastically. This was the Third Boss’s Token! There was even the owner’s superpower fluctuation sealed within the Token, making them feel instinctive fear and submission.
They all knew that the Token was akin to the owner personally being present. Those Beastmen didn’t even dare ask many questions and hurriedly opened the door to let him through.
Among these guards were also people Mo Yan had Lu Xiao plant in advance. Having already received orders, they gave Jin a full green light all the way.
Jin rushed to the base at top speed.
