Peerless Genius System

Chapter 622: Operation

The Metropolitan Police Department immediately posted a wanted notice for Xiao Luo in various newspapers and magazines. Besides the mainstream media, it was also posted across various messaging apps and the internet, and word quickly spread across the nation. The police rewarded anyone who could provide leads, and the reward commensurated with the usefulness of the information. Many citizens jumped on the bandwagon when they heard this exciting news, and some even formed search parties to locate Xiao Luo in every corner of Ri nation.

News also broke out on strange events happening in the vicinity of Mount Fuji. A loud rumbling sound was reported and there was an avalanche at the top of the mountain. Many said that the volcano, now dormant for over three hundred years, would soon erupt again, and this caused everyone in Dongjing to fear for their safety. The Ri nation officials quickly refuted these rumors, clarifying that the avalanche and rumbling sounds were caused by military activities and it was not an imminent sign of the volcano erupting.

At roughly four in the afternoon, Xiao Luo had returned to Dongjing after dropping Fu Yiren off at the port for her return to the homeland. He couldn’t help laughing when he saw the wanted notice and news on Mount Fuji, for he had seen this coming. The Japanese military had already blown up their bio-research base, and all the evidence was now buried under a thick layer of rock. Even if he reported that Japan had conducted inhumane genetic engineering experiments on human subjects, and on an international scale, there was no longer any evidence to substantiate his claims.

HONK! HONK!

The blaring sound of an air horn blasted from just behind him.

He turned around to take a look and realized it was a water delivery truck. The truck driver was a buff, rough-looking man. After impatiently honking for a while, he stretched out half of his body and shouted at Xiao Luo, “Damn it, do you wanna die? What are you doing, standing in the middle of the road like that? Hurry, get out of the way!”

Xiao Luo looked at where he was standing, with the sidewalk sign right beside him. Regardless of which country it was, fools like these always made their presence felt. He figured he could make use of this water supply, provocatively gestured with his index finger, and said, “Come here.”

What the... this little b*stard!

The truck driver lost his temper when he saw that. He turned off his engine, opened the car door, and leaped down. He rolled up his sleeves and stormed toward Xiao Luo. “Damn, you little b*stard! Are you asking for a good beating?”

The truck driver’s huge palms looked like they belonged to a bear. He reached out and tried to grab Xiao Luo’s collar with a fiendish look on his face.

Xiao Luo’s reaction was swift. Using his thumb and index finger, he pinched the truck driver’s wrist, just like he was picking up a flower. Xiao Luo’s interception was executed with precision, and the moment he caught the wrist, he increased the pressure.

CRACK!

The bones in the truck driver’s wrist instantly snapped with a crisp sound. He felt a sharp pain and let out an agonizing scream. Xiao Luo then stomped on his chest, and the truck driver flew back like a cannonball, smashing into the brush behind him and passing out immediately. Leaves covered his body, and without taking a closer look, no one would notice that someone was lying there.

Xiao Luo straightened his collar and walked toward the delivery truck as if nothing had happened. Without any hesitation, he got into the driver’s seat, closed the door, and opened the storage box to take a look. He noticed that there was a set of new blue uniform and a hat.

A free car, and a free outfit!

He smirked before changing into the blue uniform and putting on the hat. He turned the key to start the engine and immediately headed in the direction of the Metropolitan Police Department. He made use of the system skill he acquired to disguise himself, and his physical appearance changed drastically. No one would be able to recognize him as Xiao Luo, or to be more precise, Xiao Han. The identity on his wanted notice was a cover provided by the NSA.

Of course, the disguise would not last forever as it consumed internal energy. Therefore, it would not work if he was drained of internal energy or if he was injured, and would simply revert to his original form right away.

Xiao Luo’s first target was the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department–Tanaka Hiroshi!

He was the main culprit behind the case of the missing Hua Nation people. Tanaka Hiroshi had provided all the information to the bio-research facility, then arranged for their abduction. In the face of pressure from Hua Nation, they decided to send Miyazaki Ronjin as the person-in-charge of investigating these missing cases. He was a man who was about to retire and had little motivation to do his job after the death of his wife and child.

Miyazaki Ronjin’s negative and negligent attitude was apparent and had he been more alert, he would have been able to tell that there was something amiss with Tanaka Hiroshi right from the start.

...

Ten minutes later, a truck that loaded with barreled water arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department.

Xiao Luo calmly opened the back of the truck and lifted a barrel of water.

He carried the barrel of water over his shoulder, but it felt as if he wasn’t carrying anything. He straightened up, exhibited the strength he had. With a smile on his face, he looked straight ahead and walked into the Metropolitan Police Department.

When he stepped into the confined space of the elevator, he found himself in the company of a group of police officers.

“I heard that criminal, Xiao Han, appeared at Kamakura.”

“It’s fake, that was a false tip. The one who reported it must have gone crazy just thinking about money. He saw a guy with a sharp nose that looked a little like him, tied him up, and eagerly awaited to receive the reward. What a waste of time.”

“These people are idiots! Did he not read the wanted notice that clearly stated this fugitive, Xiao Han, has extraordinary skills? Did he honestly think that he’d be able to tie Xiao Han up that easily all by himself?”

“That’s so true.”

Two of the police officers were discussing the reckless capture of the supposed “fugitive” in disbelief.

Xiao Luo had no expression on his face as he stood quietly stood behind them acting as if he did not hear a thing they said.

DING.

The elevator stopped on the tenth floor, and the door slid open. A female police officer with light-brown hair in a bob cut walked in. Her face was exquisite, and she carried herself with an arrogant demeanor.

Asou Shuyao!

The name of this female police officer instantly flashed in Xiao Luo’s head. Just a few days back, this woman had angered him over an argument about the Sino-Japanese war. She had also humiliated Xie Wenchang, which was why he remembered her so well. Other than the people on the list, this woman was the other one he would deal with, and he intended to make sure that he taught her a good lesson before he left Ri nation.

“Department Head Shuyao!” The police officers in the elevator greeted her respectfully, taking a few steps back to make way for her.

“Hm.”

Asou Shuyao responded coldly. She walked in, turned around, and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

“Department Head Shuyao, which floor are you going to please?” asked the police officers standing next to the panel of buttons. He had a deferential smile on his face.

“The fifteenth floor,” Asou Shuyao said.

“Alright.”

The police officer responded, keeping the smile on his face as he pressed the button for her.

Xiao Luo, standing right at the back of her, dearly wished he could deliver a slap across her face and send her flying to kingdom come. His eyes were smoldering with hatred.

At that moment, Asou Shuyao turned around all of a sudden and looked at him. “Where are you delivering this barreled water to?” she asked.

Xiao Luo was a little stunned, as he never expected this woman to talk to him. He had not changed his voice as he did not think he would need to use it. He pretended to be mute and began to gesture with a series of hand signs.

“I see, so you’re mute.”

Asou Shuyao raised her eyebrows a little, and said, “I noticed that the Third Division will be running out of water soon. Make sure you deliver a few barrels over to us as well.”

“Uh, uh...” Xiao Luo grunted, smiling at her, and nodding his head in acknowledgment.

DING.

They had arrived on the fifteenth floor, and the elevator door began to slide open slowly.

“Don’t forget to deliver the water. If I don’t see the water before I leave the office today, I’ll lodge a complaint to your company,” Asou Shuyao added before she stepped out.

With a smile on his face, Xiao Luo kept nodding his head, before he, too, walked out of the elevator carrying the barrel of water.
