Peerless Genius System Chapter 653

Chapter 653: A Chance Encounter

“Darn it, I’ll never forget the shame of getting a plate smashed over my head by that bast*rd! The next time I see him, I’m going to shoot him dead!” Scott cursed as he suddenly recalled what had happened earlier, and he was furious.

“Scott, he’s not someone that the FBI can deal with, so you had better avoid him!” Sarah warned.

“Yeah, you’re right there. That guy is like a superhero from Marvel. What he does is beyond scientific understanding.”

Scott smiled bitterly and said, “But I’m sure the genetic warriors our military has developed can match him.”

At that moment, his vice-captain, Sutter, came up with an anxious group of FBI agents. Seeing that Xiao Luo had disappeared from the rooftop, he asked, “Captain Scott, where’s the Thousand-faced Killer, Xiao Han?”

“Isn’t he there? Can’t you see him?” Scott pointed at Xiao Luo, who had landed on top of a building several thousand meters away.

Gulp!

The FBI agents gawked at Xiao Luo leaping across the building rooftops from at a distance and turned pale with shock. It was incredible, and if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed such a thing. Granted, it wasn’t flying, but how could a person leap across the rooftops with no external aid?

“How could we let him escape? How could we f*cking let him escape!”

After regaining his senses, vice-captain Sutter lost control of his emotions. He yelled at Scott, who was well within earshot.

Scott’s glared at Sutter, and with no warning, he stepped forward and kicked him to the ground. “Don’t you ever dare talk to me like that, Sutter! Who do you think you’re talking to? Darn it, I know you’ve been eyeing my post for a long time. Come on, let’s see what you’ve got, then!”

“I never had such thoughts, Captain.”

Sutter quickly got up from the floor and straightened his body, responding to his captain’s accusations respectfully.

“Son of b*tch, you were just hollering even louder than me, and you expect me to believe you?”

Scott was so furious that he punched and kicked Sutter again. “Tell me the truth now; haven’t you ever thought about it?”

It didn’t matter how Sutter answered, the result would be the same, he would get a good beating.

…

…

Xiao Luo was using the peerless Qinggong Without Equal technique. It allowed him to move around a hundred meters in the air and leap across countless building rooftops as if running over a pavement. The wind whistled past his ears as he covered a distance of tens of meters in a single leap, giving onlookers the impression that he was flying with the wind.

On the rooftop of a large shopping mall, a cleaner was at work. Xiao Luo suddenly descended from the sky and silently stood two to three meters away from her, scaring the cleaner so much that she even dropped the bucket in her hand.

Xiao Luo coughed dryly and asked, “May I ask you how I can get downstairs?”

The lady cleaner was so shocked that she could not even speak. When she heard Xiao Luo asking for directions, she could only point to the staircase’s direction.

“Thank you.”

Xiao Luo nodded in thanks and walked toward the direction she pointed.

Not long after, Xiao Luo walked out from the main entrance of the large shopping mall and quickly blended in with the pa.s.sing crowd. Just as he took a step toward the road, a yellow convertible screeched to a halt, almost knocking him down.

Xiao Luo immediately recognized it as the Lykan Hypersport, a world-cla.s.s car. Then he looked up at the driver’s and pa.s.senger’s seats, and two familiar faces came into view. One of them was a good-looking Caucasian man with a somewhat sinister aura. It was Ian, the man he’d confronted at Was.h.i.+ngton University, and in the pa.s.senger seat was a girl.

The girl had a head of short hair and was well-dressed. Unlike other girls who put on makeup, she looked natural and fresh, with long, elegant eyebrows, a pair of charming eyes, and a delicate nose. It turned out Huang Ruoran.

“Well, well, well… Isn’t this your friend, dear? What a coincidence to meet you here again!” Ian sneered, chuckling wryly.

Xiao Luo looked at Huang Ruoran, who looked at him awkwardly in the pa.s.senger seat. “Yes, what a coincidence.”

“Xiao Luo…”

Huang Ruoran lowered her head in shame. Then, she mustered her courage and turned to her companion. “Ian, I’ve to talk to him alone. I’ll call you when we’re done.”

“Okay, Honey.”

As if showing off in front of Xiao Luo, Ian leaned over and planted a kiss on Huang Ruoran’s cheek. He even glanced provocatively at Xiao Luo from the corner of his eyes.

Huang Ruoran didn’t avoid his kiss but looked a little bashful as she got off the car.

…

…

They went to an elegant cafe and cla.s.sical music was playing when they stepped in.

Xiao Luo and Huang Ruoran sat facing each other at a table by the window. Xiao Luo did not touch the gla.s.s of water in front of him, while Huang Ruoran was staring into her cup of coffee.

After a long silence, Huang Ruoran said, “Xiao Luo, I’m in love.”

“I can feel that,” Xiao Luo said.

“But why him?”

“Why can’t it be him?”

Huang Ruoran replied with a question, then added, “He might look like an unruly person, but he seems to care about me.” Then she glanced ruefully at Xiao Luo and whispered, “Unlike someone…”

Xiao Luo ignored her last sentence and calmly looked at what she was wearing. “Chanel’s sling bag, Chanel’s watch, Tiffany’s necklace, Ray’s perfume, and this cup of Fruit Leopard Coffee in front of you, whose selling price is per pound,” he remarked.

Huang Ruoran was stunned, as she did not expect that Xiao Luo could recognize all the branded items Ian had given her. And what he insinuated was clear enough, which made her feel like she was being mocked.

She immediately reacted and said, “I swear to G.o.d, I’m not after his money. I only like him because he’s really nice to me!”

“There’s no need for you to explain anything to me. We’re only friends, and I am truly happy that you found someone to love. But as a person with more experience than you, I have to give you some advice—don’t regard your youth for granted, or it’ll cause you a lifetime of regret. Also, Ian is a man with a hidden side, so I advise you to stay away from him,” Xiao Luo said.

“I won’t leave him.”

Huang Ruoran was adamant. “It wasn’t easy for me to meet a guy I like, and he likes me too. Xiao Luo, you are supposed to give me your blessings instead of persuading me to break up with him,” she said.

Xiao Luo frowned. “Why do I get the feeling that you chose him because of me?”

Huang Ruoran was taken aback and resented what Xiao Luo had said. “Yes, you’re right! The first time I agreed to go out with him was because of your rejection. I felt depressed, and it was Ian who lifted me from the doldrums. So, I want to thank you, Xiao Luo. If it weren’t for you, I would never have met Ian. He cares for me and dotes on me!”
