Peerless Genius System

Chapter 681: Bai Yuquan’s Thoughts

The guy that had caused a lot of trouble for both Mei nation and Ri nation recently?

When did this happen, and why didn’t they know about it sooner?

Bai Guoxiong, Bai Ying, and the rest of the Bai family looked stunned. How was it that such a capable person existed, and yet they had received no prior warnings at all? It was ridiculous! Could it be that a certain department in the country had censored all news from overseas?

“Brother, what’s his name?” Bai Xuenan suddenly asked with a serious expression on her face.

Bai Yuquan hesitated a little before he replied, “Xiao Luo.”

So it was him!

Bai Guoxiong immediately got up from his chair. His eyes glowered with raging fury, and his demeanor changed drastically.

“Grandpa, what’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Bai Yuquan asked, looking somewhat confused.

“Xuenan, let your brother know!” Bai Guoxiong’s aged face twisted with wrath.

“Brother, this Xiao Luo is the man who killed my brother-in-law. He even severely injured me. If it wasn’t for the advanced medical treatment technology available now, I’m afraid I would have already gone to see my grandma!” Bai Xuenan said through gritted teeth.

The revelation shocked Bai Yuquan. “Didn’t you say that it was Mie from NSA, the one who killed Brother-in-law? Why did it become Xiao Luo?”

Bai Yuquan had largely been educated and trained abroad. When he returned to Xiahai, it was a new experience for him, and he did not expect that he would get involved in a love affair that resulted in the birth of a child. And now that he had returned home to Jingcheng, he was shocked to hear that his brother-in-law, Zhuo Yuze, had been killed, and his elder sister had also been assaulted. She cried all day long and locked herself in her room, refusing to leave the house.

Bai Xuenan clenched her fists. “Mie is merely his code name. His actual name is Xiao Luo!” she said, and her deep hatred of Xiao Luo was clear.

“No wonder I felt uneasy the moment I saw him. It turns out that he and our Bai family are arch-enemies,” Yu Yasi pitched in.

Thud!

Bai Guoxiong slammed the end of the walking stick he was holding on the floor, and the entire hall echoed with the crisp sound of the impact.

“NSA’s Gu Zhanguo and Dongfang Shuoyu have been putting pressure on me for a long time. I have been patiently holding back, choosing not to flare up, but now Xiao Luo comes to Jingcheng to stir things up and provoke me. If we allow him to leave this place alive, what will become of the dignity of our Bai Family!”

“Father, you are right. It is Xiao Luo who is courting death by provoking us, so it is not our fault,” Bai Ying opined.

“Grandfather, Father, please calm down for now.”

Bai Yuquan said, “We need to think about this carefully. This Xiao Luo is not an ordinary person and his strength has already reached the level where he can use his inner power to strike others.”

Release his inner power?

Bai Guoxiong and Bai Ying were shocked. To release one’s inner power and attack an opponent was considered the ultimate skill. In the whole of the Hua nation, only the old monster from NSA and the Tianshan Elder had reached this level, which effectively placed them in the category of Demi-gods.

“What? Yuquan, is what you’re saying true?” Bai Ying asked.

Bai Yuquan nodded stiffly. “Yes, Yu San tested him personally. Xiao Luo was sitting motionless in his seat, yet Yu San couldn’t touch him. There seemed to be an invisible force of about ten centimeters around his body that prevented Yu San from getting closer when he was injured by a sudden burst of internal energy from Xiao Luo’s body. Yu San is now undergoing a full medical checkup and treatment in the hospital.”

Hearing these words, Bai Guoxiong and Bai Ying immediately calmed down to consider the situation. For such a high-level exponent with the ability to release his inner power, even the entire country would be hard-pressed to deal with him. What more could the Bai family do unless the old monster from NSA and the Elder of Tianshan would do a favor?

Bai Guoxiong sat back in his armchair and sighed. “No wonder he was able to survive the war in Libya and could cause a lot of troubles for Mei nation and Ri nation. Even the top leaders of the Mei nation had to treat him with respect, and that is how matters stand,” he lamented. Bai Guoxiong then looked up at Bai Xuenan and said, “Xuenan, it is only because he held back his hand that you were able to survive the last time.”

Although Bai Xuenan was surprised by Xiao Luo’s level of power, she was not someone who would accept defeat and refused to give in to the person who had killed her brother-in-law.

She stood out and said, “Grandpa, no matter how great an exponent he is, you and Dad have tens of thousands of soldiers. I don’t believe that we can’t destroy him with an army.”

“Can’t agree more. Xiao Luo is too arrogant. He is our Bai family’s mortal enemy and we cannot let him leave Jingcheng alive!”

Yu Yasi echoed her sister-in-law, Bai Xuenan’s sentiments, but it was mainly because Bai Xuenan had always disliked her due to an incident in the past. Yu Yasi took a stand to support Bai Xuenan to improve their relationship. Besides, she never forgave Xiao Luo for splashing alcohol on her.

“Stop talking nonsense. Grandpa and father are capable of making their own decisions on how to deal with the matter. Leave now!” Bai Yuquan shouted at his sister and wife.

Bai Guoxiong raised his head and looked at him with his old, cataracted eyes. “Yuquan, what do you think?”

“We still need to think carefully before dealing with Xiao Luo. Even if he doesn’t have the NSA’s protection, based on Xiao Luo’s abilities, the probability of the Bai family eliminating him from this world is not high,” Bai Yuquan replied, giving a rational analysis.

“So, we’re not to do anything?” said Bai Ying.

“That’s not it. I believe we have to think out of the box,” Bai Yuquan replied with a bow.

Bai Guoxiong looked on with interest. “How so?”

“We welcome him!”

Bai Yuquan summarized it in simple words and added, “And the Bai family will find ways to use him.”

The entire hall was in an uproar. No one expected Bai Yuquan to have such thoughts. Was he thinking of recruiting an enemy? Was there something wrong with his head?

“Brother, Xiao Luo killed Brother-in-law, which is an irreconcilable act as far as our Bai family is concerned. And yet you want to recruit him? Have you considered Sister’s feelings?” Bai Xuenan shouted.

“Those who wish to achieve great things do not care about mundane matters. What they have to consider is the big picture. To me, it is foolish to make an enemy of a person with such abilities and power. And to do so over that useless Zhuo Yuze? This is very unwise,” Bai Yuquan said.

Bai Ying was not pleased and said, “And what about our Bai family’s dignity? To do so would be too humiliating!”

“Even the current president of the Mei nation, Mr. Bama, wisely put aside past grievances with Xiao Luo, and by doing so, he transformed hostility into harmony. Why shouldn’t we? It is not admitting defeat, but adapting to reality. Xiao Luo’s strength has exceeded our expectations. If we insist on being his enemy, then I think the Bai family will be on the receiving end,” Bai Yuquan said.

“Yuquan, is this what you think? Is this what my son believes?” Bai Ying cried in utter disappointment. Did he just say that they had to adapt to reality? Since when did their Bai family fall to such a low state?

“Brother, why are you being so partial to an outsider?” Bai Xuenan shouted.

“I am not being partial to anyone, but merely analyzing the situation.”

Bai Yuquan smiled and said, “This world may seem fair, and everyone appears to have the freedom and protection of the law. However, the law of nature will never change—the strong are feared and respected. Even Mei nation and Ri nation do not dare to provoke him. So, what makes you so sure the Bai family can stand up to him?”

Although these words were not pleasing to their ears, they made everyone in the Bai family ponder.

They all knew the facts but chose not to admit it. They found it hard to accept that they were unable to kill their enemy. Just as Bai Yuquan had said, Zhuo Yuze, the son-in-law, was a lame duck. It was not a significant loss that he died, and perhaps Bai Yulan would mourn for a while. His death did not affect the Bai family immensely, and the reason they were infuriated was that his death at the hands of Xiao Luo had tarnished their dignity.
