Peerless Genius System

Chapter 608: Obstruction

The night was exceptionally serene in Mount Fuji, and as they stared across the landscape, the moonlit sky cast ever-changing shadows of the trees onto the surface of the road, accompanied by the sound of rustling leaves swaying in the wind.

A glaring light shone from a distance, and the growl of a high-capacity engine shattered the silence.

It was a military jeep, and upon closer inspection, they saw four people in the vehicle. The men in the driver’s seat and front passenger seat had haughty looks on their faces and an icy edge to their gazes; everything about their posture suggested they were not people to be trifled with.

And seated in the back were two men dressed in suits. The one on the left wore a black suit. He had a cigar pinched between his lips and he looked to be in his late 40s with an imposing countenance. The man on the right wore a light blue suit with a tie and had a pair of glasses on. He looked about 30 and seemed like an assistant or a secretary.

“Major General, why are we heading here this late at night? Has the base just produced another new genetically modified soldier?” asked the young man in glasses.

“I don’t know what that old man, Yamamoto Tomotake, is planning. He said he had a surprise for me, but I think it’ll be more like a shock if you ask me.”

The man in the black suit said, “We got word from the police yesterday that Hua Nation sent someone to look into the case of the missing Hua nationals. It’s also very likely they sent an NSA soldier and not an actual police officer here. The military base sent a genetically modified soldier to take him out, but it ended up getting its head split open. Were it not for the police working with us, the issue would have made the headlines, and the entire world would be working against the entire Ri Nation by now.”

The news shocked the man in glasses. “That can’t be! What kind of man is he that even a genetically modified soldier was killed?” he exclaimed.

The men in the driver’s seat and passenger seat were also taken aback. They had seen for themselves how powerful these genetically modified soldiers were. No gun or knife could harm them, and they were truly the ultimate war machines. How could someone split their head open?

The man in the black suit took a long drag of his cigar. He heaved a long sigh and said, “Who knows what kind of monster the Hua Nation sent over!”

Suddenly, the driver saw a figure about 200 meters ahead of them, standing right in the middle of the road.

“Why is there somebody standing there?” The driver remarked. He sensed something amiss and then honked repeatedly.

HONK! HONK!

It was loud and jarring, but the person on the road did not budge at all. He did not seem to even attempt to walk away.

“What an idiot, is he deaf or something?” The driver yelled, then immediately stepped on the brakes.

The man in the black suit frowned. He had a bad feeling about this. “Don’t slow down. Speed up, and run him over!”

“Major General, we...”

“Heed my order—put your foot to the pedal and run him over. There’s no way somebody appearing here at this time of the night can be one of us!”

The man in glasses wanted to speak, but the man in the black suit bellowed furiously and cut him off. The major general sensed danger the moment he saw the strange figure suddenly appearing on the road.

“Yes, Sir!” The driver responded instantly, then stepped on the pedal.

VROOM!

The engine of the green jeep leaped to life and roared, and its speed shot up from 80 to 100 in an instant. Like a beast of steel, it hurtled down the road and charged viciously right toward the figure.

80 meters... 50 meters... 20 meters...

It was getting closer and closer to the stranger and was about to run him over!

In the vehicle, the four men stared ahead without blinking. But the strange man stood there, unflinchingly in the face of a speeding jeep. There were only three plausible explanations for this: first, it was one of their genetically modified soldiers; second, it was a deaf and blind person; or third, it was the monster from Hua Nation. The first could be eliminated, which left the two remaining possibilities. The last one was the more likely of the two, so stopping their vehicle would not be a wise move. Speeding up to run the man over was the wisest and safest option.

BOOM!

There was a loud bang, and the speeding jeep suddenly jolted. The four men were thrown around like they were in a violent earthquake. When they finally regained their focus, they were all shocked out of their wits. Because what they saw was not what they had expected—the strange man was not thrown back by the collision, but instead had both his hands holding down the front of the jeep. It was as if his hands worked like powerful magnets, while his feet were sliding back because of the force of the jeep’s momentum.

D*mn it, what is he doing?

The driver screamed in panic, with fear written all over his face. He had his foot on the pedal and was stepping down as far as it could go, so the engine was roaring sharply. but the speed of their jeep was almost coming to a standstill. The man was holding back their vehicle with nothing more than his power.

He was terrifying. Not even their genetically modified soldiers were this terrifying!

The sight horrified the four men. The cigar fell from the lips of the man in the black suit as he stared at the strange man in front of him, holding the jeep back with his head bowed.

“Humph!”

And after 20 to 30 meters, the iron beast was finally brought to a complete halt.

The man in front of the vehicle lifted his head, and for a moment, they caught a glower in his eyes. They could feel his bloodlust emanating, and though it had only been for an instant, it sent an overpowering sense of fear to the four people in the jeep. The look on the pale face of this stranger gave them a foreboding of something much more sinister.

Who the hell was this guy?

The same thought occurred to the four men at the same time.

“Get out!” a cold, commanding voice rang out in a tone they could not defy.

The man in the black suit shook uncontrollably. He quickly reached for his gun and pointed it at the strange man, and he instantly pulled the trigger.

BANG!

A gunshot broke the silence of the night as a single bullet fired from the chamber pierced through the windshield.

But the strange man instantly tilted his head to the left as the bullet ripped through the air and whistled past his ear.

He even dodged a bullet?

The four men broke out in a cold sweat, and they were all at a loss for words.

“Alright, let’s do this the hard way then!” Xiao Luo sneered.

His ghost-like Phantom Claws sank into the hood of the jeep, like slicing through tofu, and he lifted the entire vehicle by simply raising his arms. He then turned the jeep over and smashed it violently on the ground.

BOOM!

There was a tremendous bang before the vehicle broke up, sending broken parts scattering in all four directions.

But, smashing it once was not enough. Xiao Luo picked it up again and slammed it another four times until he destroyed it.

The damage done to the vehicle gave a strong indication of how severely injured the men within it were. They crawled out from the wreckage like dogs, badly cut by broken glass and bleeding from their mouths and noses.

The man in the black suit had a broken leg. He pulled himself out by his upper body, but his leg remained trapped beneath the wreck, and so he lay there wailing in despair.

Suzuki Ikuo, the mute man, and the deaf man rushed over and could not help drawing in a deep breath. They were scared out of their wits, and stood like statues, staring wide-eyed at Xiao Luo next to the overturned wreck.

They witnessed Xiao Luo stop a speeding jeep traveling at 100 miles per hour with nothing more than his strength before he lifted and smashed the car like a toy. F*ck, was he even human?

Suzuki Ikuo felt as if his understanding of the world had shifted on its axis. He broke out in a cold sweat. In this very moment, Xiao Luo became no different from a monster in his eyes.
