Peerless Genius System

Chapter 538: Open-minded

Running, hiding, running, hiding... Xiao Luo pushed his abilities to the limit and rushed forward, all the while carrying Sarah Michelle with him. He constantly shifted to his left and right, running starts and stops to deceive the shooters. In this way, he was able to dodge the incoming shot from the small arms and the L115A3 sniper rifle that used thermal imaging to detect targets behind cover. Even RPG rounds were fired to flush Xiao Luo out in the open.

“Sh*t, is that guy a martial arts expert from the Hua Nation? He’s carrying a woman with him and is still moving around with the agility of an ape in the jungle,” Evil Dragon growled. He gritted his teeth and slammed his hands on the vehicle after the thermal sensor lost sight of Xiao Luo once again.

In the other vehicle, Khun Sa lit up another cigar. He had a pair of cold, heartless eyes that looked aged due to the dark eye-bags, visible even behind his glasses. “Wouldn’t it be very boring if we could kill him that easily?” he said.

They didn’t use the thermal sensor when dealing with Sarah Michelle because they clearly didn’t need to at all. One wouldn’t use a sledgehammer on a nut. Besides, he was waiting for Xiao Luo to appear and was not as anxious as to know whether they could find Sarah Michelle.

“Boss, the SEAL team must be on their way here. I reckon we’ll be a bit of a pickle if they were to join the fight. We might have a hard time dealing with them,” Skeleton said.

Khun Sa smiled coldly. “You’re talking about babies who are still drinking milk. No matter how many of them there are, they’re nothing but a bunch of trash. There’s no need to be afraid of them,” he said, “But this ‘Mie,’ he’s a thorn in our side, and we can’t let him leave Libya alive no matter what it takes.”

His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he said this.

“Understood.”

Evil Dragon and Skeleton acknowledged their master. They then passed down the order to everyone else to conduct a thorough search. They secretly had people guarding every single exit, and unless they jumped into a river, there was no way they could escape from Brewer City. But Sarah Michelle was a landlubber based on the information that they had gathered. She couldn’t swim, so it was almost impossible for her to swim across a river.

...

Xiao Luo, carrying Sarah, stopped at an abandoned factory somewhere Southeast of where they started. The advanced weapons that Khun Sa and his men had employed so far exceeded what he had expected. But, the most important thing here was that he still had to bear with him a woman who barely had the strength to truss up a chicken.

It would be unprofessional to sacrifice this woman who had no relationship with him whatsoever just so he could kill Khun Sa. But, Xiao Luo had other ideas, and he would do that if he was out of all other options. But, as long as there was an inkling of hope, he would still do all he could to protect and ensure the safety of this woman. As an NSA agent, he still had to do his best to fulfill the mission assigned to him from above.

“Here, this is something for you to eat!”

Xiao Luo handed some hardtack that he brought along with him to Sarah.

Sarah sat on a beam on the floor and, with her eyes wide open, looked at the man of many surprises. When she was on this man’s back earlier on, bumping and bouncing along with him, it felt like she was in a dream. Besides, he was still in complete control even after jumping off the second floor with her on his back, and she found it incredible.

She took the hardtack from Xiao Luo. “Mr. Mie, are the techniques you used earlier on the legendary qinggong from Hua Nation?” she asked.

“Mm-hmm.”

Xiao Luo replied without much thought. He focused on eating the biscuits to slowly recover the physical energy that he had expended.

“Wow, does that mean such magical martial arts techniques actually do exist in Hua Nation?”

Sarah’s eyes glinted with excitement as she recalled his feats, and it wouldn’t just be her, but everyone from around the world who would be interested in the rich history of their martial arts. Many people yearned to have the ability to leap onto roofs and vault over walls.

“Ms. Sarah, can you please be a little bit quiet?” Xiao Luo said, not too kindly.

Sarah wasn’t sure why Xiao Luo was so gruff, but she ignored it. “I’m so sorry to bother you,” she said.

Xiao Luo couldn’t be bothered with her anymore. He was keeping vigil on his surroundings. He didn’t intend to leave Brewer, at least not until he killed Khun Sa before he left. But the thermal sensor was a considerable threat. With that thing around, it was as if the enemy had x-ray vision, and as long as he was within a one-kilometer radius, there was nothing he could do. This meant that he first had to find a way to get rid of that thermal sensor.

“Mr. Mie!”

Just as he was thinking about that, Sarah shouted at him.

Xiao Luo said, “What now?”

“Can I go over there and wash up a little?” Sarah pointed at the faucet in the distance.

Xiao Luo was unnecessarily curt in his response. “It’s not like I’ve tied your legs together. You don’t have to ask for my permission,” he said.

“Hmm, alright.”

Sarah was relieved that she could finally clean herself up. She stood up and walked towards the faucet and carefully washed off the dirt and grime from her hands, face, and body.

She still had some injuries on her body, and if she was not careful, the pain could be quite unbearable. It was so painful that she gasped a little, but her body reeked from not being washed, and she could no longer stand it. She eventually took all her clothes off except her bra and underpants, wetting pretty much her entire body. She was not concerned about catching a cold since it was still summer, and Libya was naturally a hot and humid region.

“The Americans sure are open-minded!”

Xiao Luo silently muttered to himself. To take off everything and casually taking a shower with only her underclothes in front of a man–this level of openness was something that women from Hua Nation could never match up to, no matter what.

Sarah even brought soap along with her and treated this wide, open area like a bathroom. She washed her hair as well and carefully scrubbed off all the dirt on her body, making sure that her nose could no longer smell anything bad odors anymore.

After she finished her shower, she wore her clothes and returned. Xiao Luo was slightly stunned when he saw her.

She was wearing the same dirty clothes from before, but her feminine side had undergone a drastic change. If the woman he saw before was deemed as an ugly duckling, then the woman right now would be rightly called a white swan.

Her blonde hair was still dripping wet, and her face was pale but reddish, like cherries. Her eyebrows were long, her blue eyes were shimmering, her nose was sharp, her lips were red, and her teeth were white. Her entire body had a pleasant soapy smell.

It was hard to deny that she was indeed a really sexy woman!

She had a slender and well-limbed figure as well. She wasn’t as built as most western women and looked more like a good-natured daughter from a humble family.

Sarah noticed Xiao Luo eyeing her and knew that it was because of her appearance. She giggled a little and said, “Mr. Mie, do all guys from Hua Nation enjoy staring at a woman who has just finished bathing?”

Xiao Luo smiled back and replied, “We do take a second look at beautiful things. This is the nature of all human beings.”

He explained everything in just one simple sentence.

“Thank you for your compliments!”

Sarah chuckled, displaying a row of neat teeth. “If I can go back to America alive this time around, I’ll make sure to find time to go to Hua Nation just to interview you,” she said.

Xiao Luo kept his opinion to himself and thought to himself that once I finish this mission, I will forget all about this, Sarah Michelle. What does she mean to interview me? She thinks too much!

“Mr. Mie, is the injury on your chest serious?”

Sarah noticed a burn mark on his chest, and it looked as if he was burned red by a hot iron. It was slightly charred, and blood was slowly oozing out from that injury.

“It’s nothing serious, don’t worry about it!”

Xiao Luo gave a brief reply and then sat down with his legs crossed. According to the meridian path of the Yi Jijing, this was just a minor injury. It was like a scratch on the skin, and there was no need to spend points to have the system perform any form of healing for him. He just needed to practice the Yi Jijing, and it would recover really quickly.
