The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 307: Kill Him With Your Own Hands

Xiao Luo stared hard into the eyes of the huge bearded man, and with a smile of contempt, he peeled apart the sliced flesh, loosening it from the skull. Then with a violent jerk, he tore off the right half of the man’s scalp.

RIP~

Half of the bearded man’s scalp was ripped off, and the bloody piece of flesh and hair was flung to the ground. Blood flowed down over his anguished face, and the bone-white skull was visible under bits of red tissues that remained attached to the right side of his head. An excruciating pain shot through his entire body like a bolt.

“AARRGH~”

The bearded man was going into a state of shock, trembling uncontrollably, and screaming in agony. His miserable cries resembled the howls of evil spirits being thrown into the fiery pits of hell, echoing in the silent night.

With half his scalp torn off, he was already overcome with pain, but there was a primal fear in his heart that exceeded everything else. The huge bearded man struggled to free himself, but Xiao Luo had what was left of his hair in a firm grip, and both his hands were pinned to the ground under the weight of Xiao Luo’s feet. The immense force he exerted turned his face purple, and he was on the verge of fainting. Blood oozed copiously from the head wound.

Ji Siying stood close by, witnessing the gory scene, and gasped in horror. Her face turned pale, and she shook as she saw once again, Xiao Luo’s devilish side at work.

“So, can you help me contact Khun Sa now?” Xiao Luo asked, flashing the man a derisive smile.

The bearded man nodded his head, his expression distorted by the overwhelming pain. He suddenly realized how the leader of the NSA squad felt when he had been tortured earlier, and couldn’t help seeing its irony. Was this divine retribution?

Xiao Luo took his foot off the man’s hand and passed him a communication device.

The huge bearded man endured the pain as he keyed a series of numbers with his trembling hand.

“Cobra, have you succeeded in your mission?” a hoarse voice came from the communication device.

“Boss, I-I’m…”

The bearded man’s voice was trembling. It was hard to accept that Xiao Luo’s capabilities were far beyond his own, and his frenzied attacks seemed like a child’s play going against such an opponent. As the chill breeze blew across his exposed flesh, it bit like a knife cutting through his wounds. The unbearable pain left the seven-foot-tall bearded giant whimpering in tears.

“What’s wrong with you? What happened?” The voice from the communicator sounded anxious.

Xiao Luo snatched the communicator from the bearded man and answered, “Nothing’s wrong at all. It’s just that your Cobra Mercenary Corps has failed in its mission.”

There was a pause, as Khun Sa, on the other end of the communicator, was startled by the remark. Then a chilling voice came through. “Xiao Luo?”

“Yes, of course, it’s me.”

Hearing his reply, Khun Sa sighed heavily. He was shocked that the elite mercenary squad he had deployed did not succeed in eliminating its target. This was far beyond what he had expected, anticipating that the Cobra mercenary corps would be capable enough to get rid of Xiao Luo.

Unwilling to show any weakness, he kept his composure and said, “Well, well, congratulations on being alive!”

“Oh, really? Then I’ll have to break some bad news to you. Only one of your Cobra mercenaries remains, and he is a man with a thick beard,” Xiao Luo responded, raising his eyebrows as he said that.

“You scoundrel!” Khun Sa said in rage.

His standing in the Blackwater Company was already sliding, and now with the loss of Cobra Mercenary Corps, his position was bound to plummet to a new low.

Xiao Luo was unruffled, and he continued goading Khun Sa. “You are a citizen of the Hua Nation as well, so I would assume that you’re aware of the Hua Nation’s NSA? I’ll leave this bearded man with the NSA, and if you’re bold enough, come and retrieve him. Oh, and by the way, I’ll be going to find you myself when I have the time. You can’t be sending me gifts all the time, the least I can do is to return the courtesy, right?”

These remarks left Khun Sa’s mind racing, and his heart palpitated wildly. Since when was Xiao Luo a part of the NSA?

@#￥%!…

He almost let loose a torrent of expletives. If he had known Xiao Luo’s identity as an NSA agent, he would never have deployed the Cobra mercenary corps to the Hua Nation. It was a momentary slip that resulted in significant losses, and he would need at least another two to three years to raise another elite squad. To add to his woes, he would have to bear the losses himself and would undoubtedly be challenged by the company’s senior executives.

“Kid, I’m right here in North Carolina. I hope you have the courage to come over,” Khun Sa was trying his best to contain his emotions, delivering his words in a cold, impassive tone.

“Oh, rest assured, I shall be standing before you sooner than later!”

Xiao Luo finished his sentence with a chilling smile and then ended the call.

Ji Siying stared silently at Xiao Luo, and her eyes were filled with a deep sense of trepidation. This was the side of Xiao Luo that terrified her, and she never knew what to expect next.

The bearded man was now even more horrified. In his eyes, he saw a demon. Xiao Luo was a demon who could rip off a living person’s scalp without a second thought.

“Where are the 20 NSA soldiers? Are they dead or alive?” Xiao Luo asked him.

“T-they… all dead.”

The huge bearded man dared not tell a lie, not knowing what this demon would do next.

“Dead?”

Ji Siying’s eyes widened when she heard that. Although she had long guessed that the men had been killed, a part of her still harbored a sliver of hope that they may have survived. After all, these were 20 well-trained level C soldiers they were talking about. Were all of them really dead?”

Xiao Luo grabbed the bearded man by the collar and barked, “Lead me to them!”

He then pulled him up like a puppy and pushed him forward into a march.

It didn’t take long before they found the bodies of the 20 soldiers. 19 of them had their throats cut open, and the last man, captain Lin Dong, was tortured beyond recognition. He no longer looked human, as every bit of skin on his body was shredded. His legs were stripped of flesh, leaving the bones exposed, looking like they were gnawed away by a school of piranhas, and his eyes were gouged out with daggers. It was a gruesome sight.

He was tortured while he was still alive and suffered an unspeakable death.

Staring down at captain Lin Dong, Ji Siying’s eyes turned red immediately as she wept for him.

He had been her partner at NSA, both hailing from Xiahai City, and he had taken great care of her during their journey there together. And she couldn’t believe that he was now dead, suffering a long horrible death by torture.

Xiao Luo turned and glared at the bearded man, slumped on the ground next to the corpse, exactly where Xiao Luo had dumped him. “You pulled out all of his nails and sprinkled salt on his wounds, then you sliced off the flesh from his legs, a piece at a time, and grilled them in fire like having a barbeque. Not bad, you really do know how to have fun!”

“I-I’m sorry…”

The bearded man cowered, repeatedly apologizing with tears forming in his eyes. He knew from Xiao Luo’s eyes, what was to come.

Xiao Luo was oblivious to his pleas, he squatted down beside the corpse and placed his dagger in Lin Dong’s stiff, lifeless hand. He closed the dead man’s fingers over the knife’s handle, and speaking to the dead captain, he said, “I’m sure that what you wish to do the most is to kill him with your own hands.”

When he had spoken, with one hand on the shoulder, he turned Lin Dong’s body to its side, and with his other, he held on to the dead man’s hand that gripped the knife. Then, the dagger was thrust toward his tormentor, now lying paralyzed next to him.

“Urrgh~”

The blade penetrated the bearded man’s heart slowly, as blood instantly splattered from the wound. The bearded man’s eyes bulged, and blood streamed from the corner of his mouth. Lin Dong’s lifeless face was staring at his tormentor, less than 20 centimeters away. As the bearded man died slowly, with a look of repentance on his face, the last thing he saw alive was the tortured face of Lin Dong–and poetic justice was served.
