Chapter 648 - The Rising Tide (1/2)

Adrian was terrified. Xiao Luo glanced at him as he moved his fingertip across the photo on the table, and said, “Were you admiring your work earlier, or were you reminiscing the feeling of treating humans as lab rats while you conducted your experiments on them?”

“This is science!” Adrian said, defending his actions.

Xiao Luo flashed a mocking smile on his face. “Science? I guess I don’t know what science is then,” he retorted.

“Genetic engineering is a form of scientific research that will bring mankind forward. Sacrifices in the early stages are inevitable, but as long as we can achieve some kind of breakthrough through these experiments, then the human physique and abilities will achieve a breakthrough on all fronts. This is an experiment that will benefit all of humanity,” Adrian responded. He was like a religious fanatic with extremist views, and he had placed an inordinate amount of belief into his work.

Xiao Luo laughed coldly and replied, “Then why not use Americans for your experiments? Are the lives of the Americans more precious than the lives of people from other countries, like grass that you can trample on whenever you like?”

“We use our people for the experiments too, and we achieved quite a lot from…”

“That’s enough!”

Xiao Luo raised his hands to cut him off, “I didn’t come here to listen to your philosophy. Since you’re involved in the genetic engineering facility in Ri nation, then you can’t live.”

Suddenly, the terrified look on Adrian’s face disappeared, and he looked right at Xiao Luo and smiled. “Is that so? But you’ve already lost your chance to do so!” he said.

As soon as he said that, the door of the study room swung open. Dozens of security guards in black shirts rushed in, forming two rows as they stood on either side of Adrian. They had their guns raised and pointed at Xiao Luo.

Pleased with himself, Adrian looked at Xiao Luo casually and said, “As I was talking to you earlier, I stepped on the switch on the floor here to activate the alarm system. I only need to give the order, and their bullets will turn you into minced meat.”

Xiao Luo snickered and replied, “I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

“Then what do you think is going to happen? Do you think you can leave this place alive?”

Adrian had a mocking smile on his face. “Thousand-Faced Killer, is this all you’re capable of? I honestly don’t understand why those fools in Ri nation couldn’t deal with you,” he spat.

Xiao Luo didn’t pay him any attention but laughed at the armed bodyguards instead, and said, “I’ll give all of you a chance to live. Open fire and kill Adrian, otherwise all of you will have to die!”

The bodyguards froze, for, despite laughing, the vicious look in Xiao Luo’s eyes made their hair stand on ends. The aura they sensed coming from this Hua nation man was overpowering.

“Haha, haha…”

Adrian laughed out loud and scowled, “Are you only pretending to be the Thousand-Faced Killer? Are you sure you’re not a fool?”

Xiao Luo did not say a thing but only glared at him.

Adrian sensed a sudden chill running down his spine, but he found his courage and slammed his hands ferociously on the table. “Kill him!” he roared.

RAT TATAT TAT! BANG! BANG!

Following his command, the bodyguards did not hesitate to open fire at Xiao Luo. A hail of bullets spurted from the flashing muzzles, and in the small confines of the study room, they tore through countless books, furniture, and porcelain pieces like a ferocious gale.

In an instant, Xiao Luo’s body vanished like an illusory phantom.

After a series of gunshots, Adrian and the bodyguards were shocked to find that their intended target was already standing right behind them. They stood rooted in horror!

With lightning speed, Xiao Luo quickly snatched a gun from one of the bodyguards. The muzzle, as if it had eyes of its own, immediately pointed at all the other bodyguards.
