The Genius System Without Equal

Xiao Luo couldn"t help laughing when he heard what Scott had to say. “If you know about the things I"ve done in Ri nation and Libya, then what makes you so sure I fell into your trap here?” he responded.

“Were you not?”

Scott laughed wryly and scoffed, “Let me tell you this, the Mich.e.l.le family has always been friendly towards Hua Nation. But you"re not in the same category—you"re a target. One that the president himself has specifically ordered us to eliminate. You made a big mistake coming here, and I"d encourage you to just kill yourself now. If you end up in prison, looking at that soft skin and handsome look of yours, those crazy, burly men in there will treat you like a girl, haha, haha…”

Sarah stared at Scott. She couldn"t believe that it was her brother talking. Since when had her brother become so vulgar and capable of saying such vile things? He had not stopped spewing such filth since he walked in. Was her brother so obsessed with capturing Mr. Mie that he had lost his mind now that Xiao Han was trapped?

CRAs.h.!.+

Like a clap of thunder, a plate broke over Scott"s head, sending ceramic fragments flying in all directions, along with the uneaten steak and spaghetti. The floor was strewn with food and broken pieces of the plate. It stunned Sarah Mich.e.l.le, who shook in silence. Xiao Luo grabbed a clean napkin and wiped the grease off his hands.

“Scott, are you awake now?”

Xiao Luo said with a smile on his face, “If you continue this bullsh*t, then I"ll be happy to reward you with another plate. What do you think about that?”

He threw the crumpled, grease-stained napkin onto the table.

Sarah was still in shock and had her mouth wide open. Although she already knew what Xiao Luo was capable of, she had not expected this. Here he was, surrounded by FBI and police, yet he still had the audacity to smash a plate over the head of the person in charge of the operation. Did he have a death wish?

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

As one would expect, as soon as the FBI agents saw what Xiao Luo had done, they instantly trained their guns on him. Twenty to thirty muzzles were now pointing in his direction, and an air of foreboding filled the restaurant.

However, Scott was unperturbed. He wiped off the broken porcelain pieces and spaghetti from his head with his hand and glared at Xiao Luo with furious eyes. “You d.a.m.n brat! I"ll hand it to you—at least you have guts! But the way I see it, you"re a fool because now, you have successfully p*ssed me off!” he scowled.

Just as he finished his sentence, Xiao Luo immediately struck like a waiting viper. Holding his steak knife, Xiao Luo got behind Scott in a flash and held it against his neck. Due to the internal force used, even a light touch from the blade cut into Scott"s skin as Xiao Luo pressed the edge across his throat. Fresh blood started oozing from the wound.

Xiao Luo emanated an ominous aura as he kept Scott in front of him as a human s.h.i.+eld.

Now that Xiao Luo turned the tables on them, the FBI agents were suddenly unsure what to do, and they wavered. Sarah Mich.e.l.le was so frightened that she let out a scream. Everything happened so quickly. Xiao Luo"s movements were as fast as lightning, and no one had the time to react to it.

“So, what if I made you angry?”

Xiao Luo mocked as he looked at Scott. “Do you think the bullets of your men or the knife in my hand will be faster? Do you want to reconsider what you said and get your men to retreat instead?” he taunted.

Scott didn"t appear angry or surprised. On the contrary, there was a glint of admiration in his eyes.

He raised his hand and gave his order, “All of you, back off!”

“Captain…”

“h.e.l.l, what are you dumb sh*ts still doing here? Do you want me to die? Can"t you see that this guy"s speed? His knife will slice through my throat before you can do anything! d.a.m.n it, I"m talking to you, Sartre! I know you"ve been eyeing my spot for a long time. If I die, then everything will go according to your wishes, ain"t I right?”

Scott shouted at the vice-captain, who looked lost and confused. The way Scott spoke caused a stir, and it made Sartre panic. He turned around, shaken, as he retreated along with the rest of his team.

But the encirclement was still in place, and the police and FBI agents outside were keeping a close watch on the restaurant. Several snipers had taken the high ground and had their sights locked onto Xiao Luo.

“Hey, brat, if you do not want to be taken out by the snipers, you better not take the knife away from my neck,” Scott said.

After hearing that, Sarah turned blank. She wondered what the h.e.l.l was her brother trying to do?

Scott, as if aware of what she was thinking, explained, “My foolish younger sister, did you know that you almost brought the entire Mich.e.l.le family down with you? In this sensitive situation, what made you decide to meet him? You even chose that brainless message to set up your meeting. Are you trying to tell the entire world that the Mich.e.l.le family is in cahoots with this guy?”

“I…”

Sarah Mich.e.l.le wanted to explain, but quickly realized that her explanation meant nothing now. She suddenly realized the severity of the situation they were in.

The Mich.e.l.le family might be influential in the Mei nation, but it was only so because of the support of the federal government. Mie was now the enemy of the federal government, and even the president had given the order for him to be eliminated. Yet she still foolishly maintained her close relations.h.i.+p with the man. Whether she realized it or not, she had become a burden to her entire family.

“For my failure to finish the job today, I"ll be the joke of the FBI. But I"ve already shown my determination to eliminate the Thousand-Faced Killer, Xiao Han. I"ve fulfilled my responsibility to the federal government on behalf of the Mich.e.l.le family. No one can point fingers at me.”

Scott looked at Xiao Luo, “Brat, you are quite different from others. You instantly read the look in my eyes earlier on.”

“Did you give me a special look earlier on?”

Xiao Luo said that on purpose and acted dumb. “I didn"t notice it at all.”

“Stop pretending to be stupid here. Seeing that you saved my sister"s life, I"ll let you go this time around. But if I ever see you again, seriously, I won"t sit here like a fool and wait for you to put that knife against my neck,” Scott said.

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows in acknowledgment and nodded his head.

“Right, so have you thought about how you"re going to escape from the cordon?” Scott asked.

Xiao Luo replied, “I"ve already thought about it the moment I arrived here.”

“F*ck, why you didn"t even say so. If you had already thought about it, we didn"t have to waste so much precious time here,” Scott scowled.

“Huh?” Xiao Luo was stumped.

Xiao Luo held on to Scott and Sarah as they took the elevator to the rooftop.

“Brat, are you planning to parachute down? The idea might be good, except you didn"t even bring a parachute with you. How are you going to jump? Even if you did bring one along, do you think you"re going to escape the helicopter"s pursuit by gliding away at low speed?” Scott looked incredulous, and he couldn"t believe that Xiao Luo could have come up with such a dumb idea. Was he trying to commit suicide by coming up here to the roof?

But before they knew it, Scott and Sarah Mich.e.l.le were shocked. They dropped their jaws as Xiao Luo rushed to the edge and leaped off the parapet. He looked like the Marvel hero, Spiderman, leaping from the rooftops of tall buildings.

“Oh, my G.o.d, this guy can fly!” Scott couldn"t believe his eyes. What Xiao Luo did made him question everything he had learned.

“Is he a superhero?”

Sarah was equally stunned as well. She couldn"t believe that Xiao Luo had such an ability. It was completely beyond the law and physics.
