As proud as Victor is, it is impossible for him to do something that would please others.
Seeing that Xia Xu was talking and laughing closely with Tang Youxin and the others, he could only leave in frustration.
"So, the helpers you are talking about are not these delicate beauties, right?"
Grant walked over, looked at Victor who was leaving, then looked at Tang Youxin and the others, looking speechless.
"Of course not, it is the helper."
Xia Xu pointed at Atuo, and when he came over, Atuo had already slid to his feet.
"it?"
Grant lowered his head as Xia Xu pointed, staring at Atuo, who was squatting obediently, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Are you kidding?"
The matter of enhanced dogs is not a top secret, and many forces have speculated about it, but only a very small number of people have access to it, and no one can be truly sure.
Not to mention Grant, who had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place, and was spending most of his time investigating the werewolf matter. His impression of Xia Xu was basically still stuck in what he had seen a few months ago, so naturally he was unaware of Atto's existence.
"Believe me, Atuo can fight much better than you."
Xia Xu patted his shoulder with a smile.
Ordinary firearms actually pose little threat to Atto. Although he cannot resist them head-on, he can completely rely on his intuition and reaction to dodge. Unscaled firepower is basically ineffective.
Of course, with Grant's five-star shooting talent combined with firearms, he is naturally threatening, and can even be fatal.
But this must be based on many prerequisites, such as having sufficient shooting distance, an open area without cover, and knowing Atuo's position in advance.
The distance was too close, and he had no chance to even shoot in front of Atuo. The cover and blocked vision provided by the complex terrain allowed Atuo to instantly transform into an elusive and deadly assassin.
Of course, the most likely scenario is that he was taken away before he even realized where Atuo was.
After all, in addition to the five-star fighting ability, Atuo also has four-star stealth and search. One hides himself and the other locks the enemy. It can be said that the assassin's talents are maxed out.
"Although I don't like it too much, I still have half of the werewolf gene. How dare you say that I'm worse than a dog?"
Grant himself didn't seem to think so, and was very indignant after hearing Xia Xu's words.
"So you're really comparing yourself to Atuo now?"
Xia Xu looked at him as if he was a lunatic.
Grant: “…”
"What werewolf? Are you talking about games?"
The two did not avoid talking to Song Yu and the others, so everyone except Tang Youxin was a little confused.
"Don't worry about it. My friend has a bit of a Chuunibyou syndrome."
Xia Xu smiled and tapped his temple with his finger.
"I see."
Song Yu and the others recalled the scene where Grant seriously compared himself to a dog, and they easily accepted this setting.
"I'm going out tonight, so I'll take Atuo with me first. Don't go out and wander around at night."
After perfunctorily dealing with Song Yu and the others, Xia Xu spoke affectionately and gently to Little White Flower.
"oh."
Little White Flower nodded her head obediently, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you going to do something dangerous?"
Others might not understand why Xia Xu came specially to take Atuo away, but she certainly knew the meaning.
"No, just to be safe."
Xia Xu smiled and gestured to Grant, whispering in his ear, "Look, that's a strong fighter I hired specially. If there's any danger, I'll be the first to run away, and let him take over."
"Then you are too bad."
Even though she knew that these were just words to cheer her up, Tang Youxin still felt a little relieved and gave Xia Xu a coquettish look.
After chatting for a while, Xia Xu took Atuo and Grant into the car and left.
"Xinxin, is that car your boyfriend's?"
"Okay, Xia Xu turned out to be a rich second-generation. Xinxin, you hid it from us so hard."
"If I had known I wouldn't have saved him money last time. I should have slugged him a lot."
As soon as Xia Xu left, Song Yu, Luo Lin and others began to question him viciously, using a variety of torture methods including but not limited to tickling.
Let me explain this on two sides.
After driving out of the school gate, Xia Xu first went to a small hotel under Grant's guidance. There was a room in the hotel that Grant had rented for a long time, which contained some equipment that was not suitable to be brought to the school.
"How about it? This is a luxurious suit I specially customized for my visit to Xia Country. Do you want to pick one?"
Grant proudly pulled out a large suitcase from under the bed.
The box was opened, revealing various equipment fixed by limit slots, including the same folding compound bow that was given to Xia Xu last time.
However, this time it is not as shabby as last time with only one bow. There are many types of weapons, big and small. Although cold weapons are the main ones, the ones such as crossbows, blowguns, slingshots, etc. are all military styles, and their lethality is definitely deadly enough.
"Forget it. I'm not that interested. And you know I'm not very accurate with these things."
Xia Xu was not interested.
Now that he owns Xinghai Industries, he is qualified to manufacture not only those cold weapons that skirt the line, but also truly lethal hot weapons. He no longer thinks highly of these gadgets. If necessary, he can have an assembly line produce a truckload of them without any problem.
"You need something to protect yourself. If a conflict really comes, I may not be able to protect you."
Grant said calmly, picked up a dagger from the box and handed it to Xia Xu: "Use this, the gun blade. Press the button on the handle to fire four bullets. It's very useful for sneak attacks."
"OK."
Xia Xu didn't say much, just nodded and took the dagger.
The gun blade is not a rare product that only appears in fantasy works. In reality, even the Xia country has it equipped in special operations.
This thing is not as accurate, powerful, or user-friendly as a real firearm. Its only advantage is that it can catch people off guard.
They stayed in the small hotel until the moon rose above the willows, and then they officially prepared to go to Gardner.
Grant brought a bow and arrow and other equipment, changed into a light black loose windbreaker, and stuffed a variety of scattered props into a tactical vest underneath. It looked very cool. It can only be said that the protagonist is worthy of being the protagonist.
As for Xia Xu, his situation was much simpler. The casual suit, glasses and watch he was wearing were originally the Bai Ze suit developed by Tang Youxin. There was nothing special to prepare. He just asked Grant for a mask similar to the one worn by the robbers and put it in his pocket in case of emergency.
Atuo did make some preparations, but it was still the same as before, carrying a backpack with two spider-shaped predators and a Miao Dao for Xia Xu.
"Are you sure your dog won't bark? And don't tell me your dog can use a knife."
Faced with Atuo's strange outfit, Grant rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"… "
Xia Xu's face darkened: "I always feel like you are scolding me."
