Chapter 651: Then He can't Live

They were leisurely enjoying their lunch. Sarah Michelle knew what topics to touch on with Xiao Luo and what not to bring up. They chatted about the places of attraction and buildings in the Mei Nation, such as the Pentagon, Statue of Liberty, Golden Gate Bridge, and the Seattle Space Needle Tower.

"Mr. Mie, I wish that I could bring you around all the places of attraction in Mei Nation. I think you will fall in love with this country," Sarah said with a smile. There was a look of expectation in her eyes.

Xiao Luo laughed and said, "If someone likes a country, then I am sure it is because of the people in that country, not the places of attraction. How one sees the people living in that country would be a significant factor in determining the impression one has of a country."

"So, you think that the Mei nationals are not friendly enough?" Sarah said, curling her lips.

"I would not say that they are not friendly. It is just that when I first set foot here, one custom officer tried to make life difficult for our Hua nationals. It seems like they were born to hate and discriminate against the Hua nationals. That was my first impression of the Mei Nation," Xiao Luo said.

Sarah looked surprised and asked, "Hmm? If such things are still happening, then it looks like I have some work to do."

"Aren't you a war correspondent? Why are you looking into such matters?" Xiao Luo said as he picked up a fork and knife, and sliced the steak neatly before putting one small slice into his mouth.

"Hey, come on! War correspondents chase not only war-related news. We're now in a peaceful era and there are fewer wars these days. In the future, I believe there will no longer be any wars. If I only collect war-related news, then I will eventually be out of a job!" Sarah said, shaking her head.

Xiao Luo smiled playfully and said, "You are the pearl of the Michelle family. How would you lose your job?"

"Of course, I will lose my job. The competition in the Mei Nation is fierce. If I do not work hard, I cannot afford to feed myself!"

Suddenly, they heard a hoarse voice coming from the entrance of the restaurant.

Xiao Luo turned his head to look. He saw a middle-aged man in an immaculate suit. He strode toward them jauntily with steely eyes. The man had a dignified bearing, and even though he was wearing a suit, one could see that he had an imposing body.

As he walked in, two rows of FBI members, fully armed, hurried in as well. Suddenly, an ear-piercing siren blared through the restaurant.

"Brother?"

Sarah Michelle's eyes widened, for she had no idea why her brother had appeared out of nowhere.

"He is your brother?" Xiao Luo asked, looking back at Sarah, and his eyes turned cold.

Sarah waved her hands in a gesture to show that she had done nothing to hurt him. She quickly explained, "Mr. Mie, I swear that I have not betrayed you. I have no idea how my brother knows you are here."

Xiao Luo thought for a moment and immediately knew what had happened. He said, "What did I say earlier? That secret code of yours. If you were in the Hua nation, heaven knows how many times we could have assassinated you."

He had initially thought that nothing too serious would happen. But looking at that situation, he had underestimated the FBI. These agents were no slouches at all.

The muscular man in the smart suit sat down. He looked at Sarah and Xiao Luo, and said, "My younger sister, do you not think your taste is a little terrible? A Hua Nation chap like him. He looks like a sick monkey. He cannot give you any sense of security. Exactly what do you see in him?" He took another look at Xiao Luo and continued, "What a skinny man. I am sure that thing below is not strong either. If you guys are together, can he satisfy your sex life?"

When Sarah heard his crude remarks, her face turned red. She reacted angrily and shouted, "Scott, what nonsense are you spouting?! He and I are just good friends. He is the man who saved me and got me out of Libya."

"All lovers start as friends, don't they?"

Scott raised one eyebrow as he picked up a wineglass to pour some red wine for himself. He swirled the wine gently around the glass and took a sip. "I know he is the one who saved you. If not, my men would have shot him and turned him into minced meat," he said, then looked at Xiao Luo and continued, "Thousand-Faced Killer, Xiao Han, and super hacker, Mie. I am sure both those identities belong to one man—you. Right?"

"Seems to me you guys already have the answer, so what ask?"

Xiao Luo asked, calmly lifting his wineglass and took a sip.

"How interesting that you can remain this calm even in such a situation. No wonder my younger sister likes you! If you were not a wanted criminal, I might even have played matchmaker for the two of you and give you guys my blessing. But what a pity. When you killed the members of the SEAL team back in Libya, you already put yourself on the opposite side of the Mei Nation, as an enemy," Scott said.

Sarah Michelle felt her cheeks burning. Scott had let the cat out of the bag about how she felt about Xiao Luo. Even though she had a deep affection for him, she had buried that inside her heart. Scott had now put her in such an awkward position by saying it out loud. She wanted to crawl into a hole to hide. She did not dare to look at Xiao Luo as she felt embarrassed.

Xiao Luo answered Scott and said, "The people from the SEAL team tried to kill me. I defended myself and ended up killing them instead. It would be better if you Mei nationals just deal with this bitterness and frustration. Are you not even a little embarrassed to bring this up?"

The corner of Scott's lips twitched, but he laughed and said, "You brat! Still, I admire you. Xiao Han, if you were not Mie or the Thousand-Faced Killer, I would have locked you and my younger sister in a presidential suite tonight to play tic-tac-toe. As one would say in the Hua Nation—it would be for both of you to do something that cannot be undone. Haha, haha…"

"Scott, you b*stard! Are you on drugs? Why are you spouting all this nonsense?"

Sarah Michelle could not hold it in anymore. Her face was flushed with anger, and she shouted at Scott.

"Sarah, I am your brother. Did you think that I do not understand you at all? Look at you. All dressed up like a celebrity. You look so pretty that I almost did not recognize you. Do not tell me that you didn't go through all the trouble for this Hua Nation chap. If I cannot even see all the effort that you have put in, then I would have wasted the past thirty years of my life as an agent," Scott snarled.

"You…" Sarah hissed.

Her face reddened with a mixture of anger and embarrassment. She would have walked out immediately if the situation had not been so critical.

Scott looked at Xiao Luo once again and tossed a pair of handcuffs on the table. "Brat, you decide if you would prefer to do it yourself or let us do it for you. You have lost this time around. There are more than a hundred FBI agents out there and over two hundred police officers. They have covered the entire area so tightly that not even a trickle of water can get through. Unless you can fly, you can forget about escaping."

"Brother, let him go. He is my savior. You cannot do this to him," Sarah begged.

"The only reason he is still alive now is that he saved you. Do you know the order we received from the President? It was to kill him on sight. The minute we see the Thousand-Faced Killer, Xiao Han, we are not to show any mercy. We are to kill him on the spot!" Scott said before he tossed his head back to finish the red wine.

"But he has done nothing bad to the Mei Nation. Those members from the SEAL team paid the price for Captain Powell's foolishness and died because of that. It is not fair for you to push all of that blame to Xiao Han," Sarah said.

Scott shook his head and said, "My silly younger sister, this world has never been fair. He is the Thousand-Faced Killer, Xiao Han. He is also the super hacker, Mie, and that means, he cannot live!"
