The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 425: Tell Me about You

Xiao Luo grimaced; it was negligence on his part that they managed to escape from right under his nose; he should have seen it coming. The two black-clad assassins were evidently highly skilled and trained regularly, but they didn’t present too much of a problem for him. Xiao Luo reckoned that they were on par with NSA’s level A agents at least, for they were quick, and despite being injured, they used the tools of their trade well. They were so close to being captured, yet managed to create a diversion with the smoke bomb and escape.

Xiao Luo wondered where they came from.

The MLM organization?

If there really were such superbly trained and fierce fighters in the MLM organization, then it made sense that the NSA had assigned him to the MLM mission in Xiahai. With such skilled assassins around, the regular police would find it hard to deal with them.

The boys from the Wild Wolf Mountain Motorsport team were still reeling from the traumatic experience of seeing two of their colleagues killed most viciously. And, just when they thought they’d be killed by the two assassins, Xiao Luo came and defeated the killers in mere seconds. It was unbelievable, for, if the black-clad assassins were demons, then what would that make Xiao Luo, the King of Demons?

“Gulp!”

Trembling in fear, Lei Shijian suddenly felt thirsty, and he could barely swallow his saliva. He broke into a cold sweat when he realized that Xiao Luo was approaching him, and even his breathing was labored.

He unconsciously hid the baseball bat behind his back, while several of his boys even dropped their bats and pipes on the ground in a sign of surrender. The Wilf Wolf Mountain boys shook as they looked at Xiao Luo, expecting the worst. As they recalled just a moment ago, they had boasted about teaching Xiao Luo a lesson and beat up if he didn’t hand them the money.

Xiao Luo stood with his hands on his hips, staring at them. He then eyed Lei Shijian and said, “Aren’t you going to …”

“B-brother, please spare us, pardon our foolishness… we are ignorant fools, please spare our lives!”

Almost in tears, Lei Shijian dropped the bat and went down on his knees before Xiao Luo, pleading for mercy.

Pale with fear, the Wild Wolf Mountain boys immediately dropped to their knees behind their leader. Had they not witnessed it themselves, they’d never have believed that such terrifying human beings actually existed in this world. These men were total monsters, demons that could cut a man in half with a single slash, or send a massive trishaw stall flying with one kick. What they had seen tonight had frightened them and changed the way they understood the world.

Frowning, Xiao Luo shook his head and said, “You have mistaken my intention, I did not…”

“Brother, I beg you, there’s a hundred thousand in this bank card. Please accept it as compensation for the trouble we caused, the password is 888888.” Lei Shijian implored, respectfully handing over a card with both hands.

Hmm?

Xiao Luo’s expression changed a little, for he had only intended to ask Lei Shijian to call the police, but seeing how things had panned out, he didn’t mind at all.

“You’re pretty street smart, I like that!”

He gave Lei Shijian a pat on his shoulder and kept the bank card, for it was his policy not to reject money offered.

Xiao Luo then walked over to Su Canye, who was still stunned and brought him back to his senses with a kick up his rear-end. “What are you doing here? Let’s go,” he said.

“Brother-in-law, it… it’s a murder, they’ve killed people!”

Trembling Su Canye choked as he pointed at the ghastly bodies that had been hewn in half, his face pale with shock and fear.

“Take it as you’d just watched a free kungfu performance.”

Xiao Luo comforted him as they walked toward their cars.

Su Canye hurried to walk alongside Xiao Luo, but still feeling weak at the knees, he almost stumbled. When he got back into the Bentley, he leaned back in the plush leather seat and took a deep breath to calm himself down. He had hardly recovered when he was startled by a knock on his window. He nearly jumped off his seat, but it turned out to be Xiao Luo, who was gesturing for him to wind down his window.

Relieved, Su Canye brought the window down, but before he could even speak, he felt himself going into a trance and everything around him become hazy… Xiao Luo had hypnotized to him!

A little while later, things seemed to have become clear once again. Looking at Xiao Luo in surprise, he asked, “Brother-in-law, why are you looking at me like that? Oh, my gawd, where are we, how long have we been here?”

“You’ve blacked out, I asked you out for supper, remember?” Xiao Luo replied, coughing dryly.

“Really? Why do I feel so dizzy?”

Su Canye scratched the back of his head, glanced at the stall by the road with a disgusted look on his face, and said, “Brother-in-law, you can’t seriously be thinking of having supper here, right? Look at this place—it’s so unhygienic, you’ll surely suffer from food poisoning if you eat here… Oi? Why does it feel like I had said this not too long ago?”

“Alright, since you said so, let’s go back then.” Xiao Luo said, raising his brows with a shrug.

“Wait, isn’t that Lei Shijian? What are they doing here?” Su Canye asked.

“They are here for supper, of course.”

Hypnotized, Su Canye had no recollection of the gruesome killings by the black-clad assassins. Xiao Luo felt a little guilty, but he thought it was for the best.

“What? I didn’t know that the Wild Wolf Mountain boys had such poor taste. I despise them already!” Su Canye responded.

Xiao Luo pursed his lips as he found it hard to continue making up stories. He decided that enough was enough and promptly walked back to his car and drove off.

Su Canye had become Xiao Luo’s shadow, and anywhere that Xiao Luo went, he was sure to follow.

As Xiao Luo drove off, he saw the Wild Wolf Mountain boys still sitting on the ground like their souls have been ripped away, looking at each other helplessly with no idea what to do next.

Along the way, Xiao Luo wondered why he decided to erase those terrible memories from Su Canye’s head. He wasn’t too fond of him initially, but as Su Canye started to follow him around like a puppy, it grew on him. Seeing how traumatized Su Canye was, Xiao Luo felt compelled to act.

Hypnosis was a skill he had acquired from the system during the Sun Yu saga. It was useful for people without a strong will or catching people off guard, but its effect was not permanent unless the subject chose not to consciously recall such traumatic events. Xiao Luo was unsure if Su Canye would ever remember those memories, but he had to at least try something.

When he had returned to Crescent Bay Hotel, he found Su Li sitting on the sofa in his living room.

She looked trendy in an aqua blue suspender skirt, which contrasted nicely with her snow-white skin and complimented her long slender legs. Lush, wavy back hair framed her delicate features, which looked like they had been painted carefully with ink, endowing her with exquisite yet classical grace. A pair of shiny silver earrings completed the look, giving her the vibes of a western supermodel.

She oozed confidence, and her beauty was striking and breathtaking.

When Xiao Luo stepped through the door, Su Li closed the book she was reading— King Lear, the tragic Shakespearean play. She turned, looked at him with her sparkling eyes, and said, “You’re finally back.”

“I stopped for supper on the way back.”

Xiao Luo took off his jacket and hung it on the clothes rack next to the door. He then poured some tea for himself and Su Li and said, “Ms. Su, although this apartment belongs to you, I am its occupant now. So, would you mind asking me first before you barge in every time?”

“You can’t blame me for that, you didn’t change the passcode on the smart lock,” Su Li responded.

“And, that’s the reason you have for barging into my room?”

“Yes…”

Su Li replied matter-of-factly.

Xiao Luo smiled and shrugged; he did not want to further pursue the argument and changed to a pair of slippers before proceeding to his bathroom for a shower.

“Where are you going?” Su Li asked, suddenly getting to her feet.

“Can’t you tell? I’m off to shower,” Xiao Luo replied, pointing at the bathroom.

“Don’t you have anything to tell me?” Su Li said.

Xiao Luo cocked his brows. “Tell you what?” he asked.

“Tell me about your history at Jiangcheng and what you really do for a living,” Su Li responded, staring at Xiao Luo with a knowing look as if she could see through him, and she looked determined to get the answers.
