Chapter 177: Each Harboring Their Own Intentions

"That female Titan is an existence similar to 'Eren Yeager'."

Su Xiao's words startled the few people present.

Levi had already fought the Armored Titan; there was no need to hide these matters.

"Another Titan with intelligence? Counting Eren, that makes four."

Levi wiped his mouth after the meal. Seeing the untouched food in front of Su Xiao, his brows furrowed.

"Do not waste food."

"No appetite."

"Eat it all even if you have no appetite."

"Oh?"

Su Xiao looked at Levi with a burning gaze; he felt a slight hostility from the other party.

"Good grief, these two are at it again."

Han Ji Zoe supported her forehead with one hand, wearing a headache-stricken expression.

"What, has your appetite become picky after eating prison food for a few days?"

Although Levi was mocking him, Su Xiao didn't feel very strong hostility, which he found strange. Perhaps his predecessor had some history with Levi, and it was only after they turned against each other that this situation arose.

His own strength was not weak, so the predecessor arranged for him by the Reincarnation Paradise would not be weak either.

Hostile but not hateful—rivals?

Su Xiao shook his head; given Levi's personality, that was unlikely.

"Your sharp tongue is as keen as your height. I heard you've grown a bit taller recently."

Su Xiao said this with a calm expression, and he saw the veins on Levi's forehead throbbing.

"That's enough. If you two want to fight, go to the open ground outside. Do not damage the headquarters' facilities."

Erwin spoke, and Levi stopped talking. Han Ji Zoe moved the food in front of Su Xiao to her own side and finished it in a few bites.

Su Xiao secretly admired her; she actually ate such terrible food with such relish.

"Enough idle talk. Next is the strategy for the future. I suspect those three 'intelligent Titans' are members of the Training Corps."

Erwin's words were shocking, and Su Xiao couldn't help but marvel at the man's intelligence.

"Commander, what is the basis for this?"

"The time the wall was attacked."

Erwin took out several yellowed sheets of paper.

"This is the record of the first time the wall was attacked. After that, the 104th Training Corps finished recruiting. However, a two-year gap is a bit of a stretch. But the second time the wall was breached was on the very day the 104th graduated."

Everyone's eyes were shining. The timing of the second breach was too coincidental; that was when the Training Corps happened to be near the wall.

Su Xiao had a headache. The 'Intelligent Titan Trio' were a bit too naive; choosing that time to attack the wall was too stupid.

"My... my peers? That's impossible."

Eren's face was full of disbelief, his mind recalling those familiar faces.

"Do you have any clues?"

Erwin handed the documents to Eren. Although Eren could turn into a Titan, Eren was absolutely trustworthy.

"This... probably... no. They are all very good people, although some have rather withdrawn personalities."

"Withdrawn?"

Levi keenly captured the word 'withdrawn'.

"I..."

Snap.

The leg of Han Ji Zoe's chair suddenly broke. Han Ji Zoe leaned back, kicked over the dining table in front of her, and in an instant, cups and plates were scattered everywhere.

The table flipped over. Eren, who was opposite, exclaimed, his body instinctively leaning back, and his chair tipped over backward.

Thud.

Eren's head hit the floor hard. Eren held his head and cried out in pain, a streak of blood oozing through his fingers.

Two figures rushed toward Eren at the same time: Su Xiao and Levi.

Su Xiao used a guillotine lock on Eren's throat, while Levi pinned Eren's body down.

"Eren Yeager, calm down."

Erwin roared. If Eren turned into a Titan now, it would be a disaster.

"Spare... spare my life."

Eren was being choked by Su Xiao until his eyes rolled back, and he patted the ground with his hand to signal surrender.

"Go easy on him."

Levi said urgently. Su Xiao loosened his arm appropriately, but Eren had already been choked until his eyes rolled back.

"Phew, it seems your skills haven't slowed down during your days in the cell."

Levi released Eren, and Su Xiao did the same.

Eren's body slid down limply; he had been choked unconscious by Su Xiao.

"Sorry, sorry, I was a bit excited just now."

Han Ji Zoe looked full of shame; she vaguely felt that they had reached a critical moment just now.

Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If Annie were exposed, then the other two being dragged out wouldn't be far off.

Erwin hurried to Eren's side to check his breathing.

They had to subdue Eren in that situation; if Eren turned into a Titan here, everyone present would be dead or crippled.

"It seems the 'chairs' at headquarters need to be replaced. Arrange for Eren Yeager to rest, and Levi will be responsible for monitoring him."

Erwin showed no emotion and left after scanning the people present.

"Oh no, I've caused trouble now."

Han Ji Zoe scratched her head and kicked the broken-legged chair hard. The chair flipped away, showing no signs of further damage.

"Going to rest, so sleepy."

Su Xiao yawned and left, walking toward the dormitory on the lower level.

The Survey Corps dormitory was a large communal sleeping area. Su Xiao found a clean bed, lay down, put his hands behind his head, and crossed his legs.

At this moment, Su Xiao was the only one in the dormitory; other Survey Corps members were dealing with post-battle matters.

Tap, tap, tap...

Footsteps approached. Su Xiao turned his head to look; it was actually Han Ji Zoe.

"This is the men's dormitory. Who are you planning to raid at night?"

"Hahaha, of course not."

Han Ji Zoe laughed heartily and sat on the bed next to Su Xiao.

"I just came to ask for information about that female Titan."

Su Xiao chatted with Han Ji Zoe, most of the questions being about the female Titan.

"Bai Ye, where did you go after the battle, and how did you get such severe injuries?"

"I went to observe the traces of the battle with the female Titan. As for the injuries, they were from the previous fight with the female Titan."

Han Ji Zoe nodded in understanding.

"Is that so? Where did you get these arm guards? They're quite cool."

Su Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"Are you interrogating me?"

"Don't mind it, don't mind it, just concern from a colleague. I've actually had a secret crush on you, hahaha."

Han Ji Zoe waved her hands and laughed.

"Picked them up in an abandoned house."

"Is that so?"

Han Ji Zoe lowered her head, her eyes hiding too many things.

"Hey~, Bai Ye, we once fought together, living and dying together."

"What, you came in the middle of the night just to say that?"

"Hahaha, nothing, just feeling a bit sentimental."

Han Ji Zoe stood up, hesitated for a while, and left the men's dormitory.

Su Xiao looked at Han Ji Zoe's back, his brain beginning to run rapidly.

He was being suspected. His extensive contact with Titans and the accident just now had made the Survey Corps start to doubt him.

At least Erwin and Han Ji Zoe had started to suspect him; it was unclear about Levi for now.

Even if he was suspected, Su Xiao didn't regret it. If he hadn't done that just now, Eren would have severely disrupted his plans.

Su Xiao didn't care if he was suspected; he didn't even care about his status as a Survey Corps member.

The Survey Corps was simply too poor, and there was no future in joining them.

As for the freedom the Survey Corps represented, it had nothing to do with Su Xiao. He wasn't here to save the civilians inside the walls.

"Hurry up and find me, you three idiots. If this continues, you won't be able to hide much longer."

Su Xiao cursed in a low voice. Annie, Reiner Braun, and the other three were the stupidest spies Su Xiao had ever seen.

Guardedly sensing his surroundings, Su Xiao began to take a nap. He needed to seize the time to rest; he might not have a chance to rest in the coming days. ===== CHAPTER 178 =====
