Early the next morning, at a small town on the outskirts of Central City, Su Xiao was hiding in an abandoned house.
Tap, tap. Tap...
Footsteps approached from not far away, and Su Xiao, wrapped in bandages, looked towards the newcomer.
"Did you fight with Mustang yesterday?"
"Yes, in the forest on the outskirts. I was dealing with Lisa Hokai's corpse when Mustang suddenly appeared."
"I see. You didn't show him those photos, did you?"
Envy walked up to Su Xiao, looking at him with a mocking smile.
"Where's the Philosopher's Stone I deserve?"
"Here it is."
Envy tossed a grain-sized Philosopher's Stone, pathetically small.
Su Xiao didn't reach for the Philosopher's Stone, letting it drop to the ground.
"Is that all?"
"From now on, every time you help us, that's the amount of Philosopher's Stone you'll get."
Envy chuckled softly, yawning with a mocking smile, seemingly having Su Xiao under control.
"Is that so? Then forget it."
