Liu Ruyan laughed and said, "This girl has been talking about you non-stop these past few days, she's nearly worn out my ears."
"Because I miss Brother Xu Hao!" Anna said without any shyness, openly expressing her affection.
Xu Hao could do nothing but shrug helplessly and laughingly said to Liu Ruyan, "Ah, it's truly troublesome to be so charming."
Xu Hao, with Anna clinging to him like a kangaroo hanging on his chest, sat down next to Liu Ruyan.
Through asking questions, Xu Hao learned that the situation on Liu Ruyan's end was almost settled; they just needed to wait a few days to go with Anthony to Myanmar to select the stone materials.
At this moment, Anthony walked into the room and laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Welcome Brother Xu Hao's triumphant return!"
Xu Hao put Anna down and stood up with a smile, "It seems the general is very well-informed!"
Anthony gestured for Xu Hao to sit and then said, "I won't hide it from Brother Xu, I've had my men collect quite a bit of information about you these past few days. Naturally, I knew you went to protect Miss Chen Suyi."
Xu Hao was inwardly alarmed by this. It seems Anthony also had considerable influence in Huadu! Thе lаtеst сhаptеrs аrе аlwаys аvаilаblе first оn МV5LЕМРYR.
To be able to know so quietly about what he had been doing recently, there must be a powerful intelligence system in place.
Anthony said with a smile, "The Qian Family, one of the Four Great Families of Huadu, has business dealings with us, so I get some information from them. Moreover, Brother Xu, you punished Cao An, the young master of the Cao Family, last night. Many people in Huadu know about this."
"It was nothing." Xu Hao waved his hand, not taking it seriously.
Anthony continued, "Young Master Cao An of the Cao Family may not be much, but the old man who was with him was an early-stage master of control, yet he couldn't withstand a single move from you, Brother Xu."
Xu Hao laughed and said, "General, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Nana also said, "Yeah, dad, just say it. Brother Xu Hao isn't an outsider."
After pondering for a moment, Anthony said with a smile, "Brother Xu Hao, didn't you say you wanted to personally select the raw stone materials? Seeing your martial prowess, I was hoping you could help me deal with some people."
"As you know, in our Myanmar, private military forces like mine hold great power, but where there are benefits, conflicts arise. Our region is rich in jadeite and other jades; it used to be extremely abundant, but with the passage of time and mining, one day it will all be gone, so major powers have started to stake out territories.
"My own strength was quite formidable, but our arch-enemy, the Williams Family, has somehow found a master. It's said that he's from Huaya Miaojiang and uses all kinds of sorcery, causing our people to die one after another in unexplainable deaths.
"A few days ago, you saw someone trying to kill my daughter; that was the work of the Williams people. That's why I'd like to ask for your help to eliminate that sorcerer."
Anthony paused for a moment, glanced at Anna, and let out a long sigh, "I only have this one daughter, and Nana is willing to stay by Brother Xu's side. I suppose I have to love the house and its crow too... Haha!"
Upon hearing what Anthony said, Anna immediately clung to his arm, her face blushing as she cooed, "Daddy, what are you talking about!"
Anthony looked at his beloved daughter indulgently and laughed, "Daddy's babbling nonsense, babbling, haha!"
Xu Hao felt that Anthony was implying something and turned to Liu Ruyan, saying, "Ruyan, take Anna out for a walk."
"Alright." Liu Ruyan got up and took Anna with her. Although Anna was willful and headstrong, she wasn't irrational. She knew that Xu Hao and Anthony must have important matters to discuss.
However, before she left, she still acted coyly toward Xu Hao, "Brother Xu Hao, if it concerns my father's life, please, please help, okay?"
Xu Hao nodded and said, "For the general's generosity the other day, I'll do my best to help!"
Xu Hao had a vague feeling that what Anthony was about to say might be serious, so he did not dare to make too many promises.
With an affirmative answer from Xu Hao, Anna left the room, arm in arm with Liu Ruyan.
As he watched his daughter's figure disappear, Anthony let out a small sigh, and he seemed to age considerably.
He said, "The person from the Williams Family who practices sorcery is not the biggest crisis. The real threat that could put me in a dire situation is their alliance with the Gael Family. Once the two families join forces, my Anthony Family will have no chance of resisting, and you must know that they are already much stronger than we are."
Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "I roughly understand what you mean. Then just eliminate them all."
When Xu Hao said this, he suddenly realized that he had uttered such a bloody statement!
If this had been before, he would never have said such a thing.
Even Anthony was taken aback!
Xu Hao was suggesting they kill all of their adversaries!
He clearly saw that as Xu Hao spoke those words, his eyes held no emotion at all.
