The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 654: A monster

Xiao Luo moved his lips but said nothing. That Caucasian man, Ian, gave him an uncomfortable vibe. He had this feeling that there was a latent danger lurking within this man, just waiting to strike like a viper. If Huang Ruoran dated someone else, he would not have bothered to stop her, for everyone had the right to date whoever they chose. But he could not read her mind and could never understand her true feelings.

Maybe he was overthinking, and Ian could turn out to be the man that Huang Ruoran had described. Though he looked like a playboy, he might genuinely have feelings for Huang Ruoran.

Xiao Luo changed the topic to avoid further conflict and said, “Putting everything else aside, would it not be difficult to maintain this long-distance relationship with him?”

“Why would it be? As long as we are genuinely in love, the distance between us would only make us grow fonder. We are in the Internet era, and I can see him every day,” Huang Ruoran retorted as she took a sip of coffee.

“Alright, you have my best wishes then,” he replied.

Xiao Luo did not have any romantic feelings toward Huang Ruoran, and it was only because they were friends that he felt compelled to look out for her. Xiao Luo did not wish to see her hurt at such a young age. Anyway, he chose not to pry into her affairs. If it turned out that Huang Ruoran and Ian ended up in marriage, then he would be accused of playing the role of Fahai, the villainous monk in the Legend of the White Snake.

“Thank you!”

Huang Ruoran said and nodded with a smile. It was complicated, knowing that she had suddenly shifted her affection from Xiao Luo to Ian. It all began when Ian saved her by getting her away from that oncoming car in the nick of time. And it happened on that night when Xiao Luo broke her heart. Ian was a handsome, proud, and romantic man who was extremely caring toward her, and it made her fall in love with him.

Xiao Luo soon put the matter of Ian and Huang Ruoran behind him. It was already late in the night, and he was staying in a villa near the western suburbs.

The owner of that villa was none other than the leader of the Lame Gang of the Mei nation. Xiao Luo had defeated him convincingly in a fight, and since then, he treated Xiao Luo as if he was a divine being. He was full of respect for Xiao Luo and had been running errands for him.

Xiao Luo was well aware of what the curse he carried, and whoever became close to him would invariably find themselves in danger. However, he had no qualms about bringing trouble to the Lame Gang. These were gangsters who dealt in drug trafficking, robbery, homicide, blackmailing, and theft. Drawing danger to them would only satisfy him.

“Sir, do you need a woman for the night?”

The leader of the Lame Gang clapped his hands, and a bevy of beautiful ladies walked in. There were Asian, Caucasian, African beauties of every description—slims ones, sexy ones, large ones. The leader laughed and said, “Sir, you may choose anyone that pleases you. You can use these bitches however you like. They will meet your every need and give you fond memories of the Mei nation.”

His underlings nodded repeatedly, like woodpeckers.

“F*ck off!”

Xiao Luo sat at the office desk and was busy typing on the keyboard. He did not even bother to even look at them. “All of you, f*ck off!”

“Yes… Okay.”

Xiao Luo had flatly rejected their offer, and the entire Lame Gang stood in the room feeling rather awkward. They did not dare to oppose Xiao Luo, so they retreated with the ladies and closed the door quietly.

“Boss, we are a bunch of dogs to him. I feel like we have lost our dignity as members of a gang,” complained one underling.

“Shut up. You know nothing!” snapped the leader of the Lame Gang.

“As long as we can keep that master here with us, he’ll guarantee our safety. His presence will help us defeat the other gangs, and the Lame Gang will land up as the top gang in the land. You blockheads are so shortsighted. None of you can see what I have foreseen. Let me tell you all this—we have an extremely bright future!”

His underlings all nodded in agreement, as they knew that Xiao Luo could even dodge a bullet. He was a monster, and if the Lame Gang had such a beast in their fold, no other gang could match up to them.

The leader of the Lame Gang frowned and looked at the shut door. “But this master is so difficult to please. He has ignored all these women and the large amounts of money we have offered to him. He has zero interest in two of men’s greatest desires. It will be difficult to keep him with us.”

“Boss, do you think… Do you think he could be gay?” said another underling in speculation.

“Hmm, that is possible. Get yourself douched later, then dress sexily and go to the master’s room,” ordered the leader of the Lame Gang who felt excited with the idea.

“Huh?”

“What are you questioning? It is for the future of the gang. What’s so hard in making a little sacrifice for the greater good? If you can make him stay, I will make you the second-in-command here,” said the leader as he patted the underling’s shoulder.

That underling felt nothing but despair, and it showed on his face.

The room was well lit. The incessant clicking of the keyboard filled the quiet room.

Suddenly, a tremendous thumping sound came from outside the window. Xiao Luo sensed a powerful aura nearby, and he turned to look outside. He saw a gigantic tree trunk flying toward him from outside the window! It was so thick that its circumference would have measured the arm spans of two men encircling the tree.

Xiao Luo’s eyes narrowed. He jumped away from his seat in a flash. He thrust his fingers into the advancing tree trunk, piercing it like daggers, and stopped it in its trajectory. But the oncoming force was immense, and the window and part of the wall had been destroyed. Xiao Luo’s fingers had left five deep marks in the tree trunk.

“Who is there?” Xiao Luo scowled.

“You are good. Hua Nation’s kung-fu is impressive.”

A mocking voice with a Mei nation accent filled the room. Someone had entered the room as the tree trunk created an opening. He was none other than the handsome and dangerous Ian. However, he looked a little unusual at that moment. His eyes had a strange green glow that looked like those of a hungry wolf roving in the dark.

“How did you know where to find me?” Xiao Luo asked.

“That is none of your business. I have my means.”

Ian smiled, and then his face darkened. “I am genuinely in love with Huang Ruoran. You have tried to convince her to break up with me. Do you know that she cried after meeting up with you? That hurt me badly, and I am here to warn you. Never see Huang Ruoran again. Do not ever question our relationship again. If not, I will chase you down and kill you, no matter where you go!”

“I hate being threatened!”

Xiao Luo stared at Ian coldly, and his eyes glowered with a crimson light. The atmosphere in the room changed as the demon had awakened within him.Ian was taken aback by what he saw. “So… you’re a monster too!” he exclaimed.
