At 2 am, Central City streets were empty except for the patrol of the Military marching under the light bulbs.
The war was ignited once again outside Central city. The atmosphere inside the city was gloomy as the food prices shot up and the currency value went down.
More than a dozen figures quickly crossed the street and surrounded the presidentâs building.
âWhy is this place not guarded?â
Olivier held her sword as she looked at the presidential palace vigilantly.
âThat guy doesnât need guards.â
Su Xiao knew King Bradleyâs power and shook his head.
Su Xiaoâs heart tightened as he felt the aura underground. It was the aura of death that belonged to countless souls.
There was no one inside the presidential palace, not even a servant.
âLetâs go straight in, no one inside.â
Su Xiao walked inside the building while the others hesitated slightly before following up.
Sure enough, there was no one inside the building.
Su Xiao moved his muscle while bob took a small step back.
âWhat is that guy going to do?â
Everyone looked at Su Xiao in confusion.â
Su Xiao clenched his fist as the energy of the Azure Steel Shadow covered his fist and flashed with a blue arc.
âCould it be that he wantsâŚâ
Su Xiao ignored everyone and raised his hand before slamming it down.
Cracks filled the ground as everyoneâs expression changed.
âWhat are you doing? This will expose us.â
âWe are already exposed. How else is this place empty.â
Mustang sighed as the infiltration plan failed.
After the crack filled the floor, it fell.
Sure enough, there is a secret place under the palace, and they jumped down. They saw corridors extending in every direction.
They didnât know which way they should go, as this place should be quite complicated.
âWe move separately.â
Su Xiao finished speaking and walked forward with Bob.
âItâs too early to go alone now.â
âNo, Iâm more accustomed to going alone.â
Su Xiao vanished in the black corridor while Mustang looked hideous.
âWhatâs wrong, Mustang.â
Olivier detected that something must be wrong and asked.
âSomething seems really wrong with our ally, really wrong, and I just have the impulse to turn around and leave.â
As he finished speaking, a strange sound came from a black corridor.
Su Xiao had his reasons to separate from the group.
His plan isnât to deal with the Dwarf of the Flask before he activated the Nationwide Transmutation circle.
Before the Dwarf in the Flask activates the transmutation circle, Su Xiao wants to let Mustang and the others defeat it.
Su Xiao was looking for an important person as he went through the corridor.
After several minutes, Su Xiao found the end of the corridor.
The sound of footsteps spread inside the corridor, and Su Xiao directly looked at the person and smiled.
âI didnât think I would run into you. Should I say Iâm unfortunate, or am I lucky?â
Su Xiao started preparing for battle.
In front of him, an old man wearing an eye patch and looking upright stood.
âExplosive flames Alchemist, or should I call you the sponsor of the alliance, Byakuya?â
This old man was King Bradley.
âCal me whatever. Byakuya was just a code name.â
Su Xiao drew Dragon Flash as a blue electric light coursed through it.
Su Xiao suppressed his senses to three meters around him to make them stronger.
King Bradley held his sword as he looked at Su Xiao.
King Bradley was inhuman swordsmanship, and all of his abilities were enhanced, but he was a half-homunculus, and he canât regenerate.
King Bradley was an orphan and was adopted by the organization to train him and many other orphans.
When King Bradley was young, he was injected by liquid Philosopherâs Stone and got one of the Sin, Wrath.
Although the process was painful, he persisted and finally became Wrath.
All of his abilities are at their apex, but itâs a pity that he had a bunch of pig teammates.
King Bradley doesnât have any humane emotion except for anger.
Although Philosopherâs stone injected his body, his life span and regeneration werenât the same as the others.
Su Xiao didnât say anything and tried using Havanaâs eye to see King Bradleyâs stats.
[Comparing Intelligence attribute⌠Your intelligence exceeds the targets, and you can obtain 100% of the enemyâs stats.]
Skill 1: Homunculus (passive): HP +300, Mana +200, Strength +15, Agility +13, Stamina +10
Skill 2: Swordsmanship master Lv.19 (passive): attack power using swords increases by 81%.
Skill 3: Presidentâs aura (passive): May deter enemies.
Skill 4: Ultimate Eye (Passive): Dynamic vision +300%, mental reaction speed +10%, can see enemyâs flow.
Su Xiao smiled. The president is stronger than he imagined. He doesnât have any attribute below 20. He was level 19 in swordsmanship and had his ultimate eye.
Since Su Xiao was had the swordsmanship master level 18, he understood that King Bradley was strong just by having that skill.
Su Xiao held the sword and didnât think about anything other than defeating King Bradley while preparing himself to die against him.
Su Xiao wins without preparing to die while fighting against someone this strong.
âYou have a good look on your face. Youâre mentally prepared to die, right? I just happened to get the same feeling.â
Su Xiao took a step and rushed toward the president as soon as he finished his words.
