Chapter 647 - The First Target (2/2)

…

Washington in the night was dazzling with the neon lights, and it was a stark contrast to the highways on the outskirts of the city.

After leaving Washington University, Xiao Luo called for a taxi and soon arrived at a small park in the western suburbs. His first target lived in a private apartment about one kilometer away.

Adrian.

That was the name of his target. He was a professor teaching biochemistry at Washington University and was the one who provided the core genetic engineering technologies to the American politicians. He was also involved in the genetic modification experiments on humans conducted at the research facility in Ri Nation.

“Sir, do you need me to wait for you?”

The driver asked politely, “There are hardly any taxis around this area.”

“That won’t be necessary.”

Xiao Luo paid the taxi fee, opened the door, and stepped out.

The moment he got out of the taxi, he looked at the new moon. In the next second, he vanished.

The driver casually looked behind and was shocked when he did not see anyone. It seemed like Xiao Luo had disappeared into thin air. He quickly got out of the car and looked around, but no matter where he looked, he found no trace of Xiao Luo.

“Oh my god, did I just bump into a ghost?”

The driver was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat. He quickly got back into his car and drove off quickly.

At that moment, Xiao Luo was already standing at the rooftop of a three-story building that was roughly 12 meters high. Like a leopard that could leap and bound, he ran along the rooftop as fast as lightning and headed toward a brightly lit mansion by the river.

The mansion was well-equipped with surveillance cameras, and security guards were patrolling the premises. But none of this was of any concern to Xiao Luo. He was like a phantom and broke in quietly without making a sound. After receiving information about Adrian’s whereabouts from a security guard, he made his way to the study room on the fourth floor.

His breach did not attract any attention at all.

When he pushed the heavy door open, he saw a man in a suit sitting behind a large oak table. He had a head of white hair and a healthy complexion. It was evident that he took good care of his health and fitness.

Xiao Luo recognized his target immediately, Adrian. He was the man Xiao Luo had to kill tonight.

Adrian realized that someone had broken in. Stunned, he stood up and shouted, “Who are you? What do you want?”

Xiao Luo looked at the picture on the table that Adrian had dropped in front of him. It was an image of the dead test subjects of the failed experiments carried out at the genetic engineering facility in Ri Nation.

He closed the door and said, “I’m sure you’ve heard of the destruction of the research facility in Ri Nation.”

He stepped ominously toward the study table, picked up the photo on the table, and looked at it with interest. The murderous look in his eyes was clear.

Adrian had a look of horror on his face. “Just who in the world are you?” he said.

“I destroyed the facility. So who do you think I might be?” Xiao Luo replied, putting the photo down. He looked up and eyed Adrian with a nasty smile on his face.

“You… You’re the Thousand-Faced Killer!”

Adrian’s eyes opened wide in fear, and sweat started pouring like a waterfall. “You came all the way here to Mei Nation?”

Adrian had known about the destruction of the genetic engineering facility and also heard about the Thousand-Faced Killer. This man was an enigma and had been wreaking havoc in the Ri Nation. But Adrian never thought that the Thousand-Faced Killer would come all the way here. But here he was, standing right in front of him, well and alive. It was like a nightmare that had turned into reality.

It was simply too hard to believe that this Thousand-Faced Killer had managed to find his way here.
