Li Chao simply couldn't fathom why Grandpa Ma was so afraid of this kid who clearly had neither money nor power.
Could it be that he has some invisible security company that even Grandpa Ma had to submit to?
Xu Hao glanced at Li Chao indifferently and said, "Didn't you say that if I were to show off in front of you, the grass on my grave would grow more than a meter tall? So, show me now, am I going to die?"
Li Chao hastily appeased him with a smile, "Dare not, dare not, Big Brother, you have great magnanimity. Please consider my words just released into the air."
Wang Mazi sneered, "Let you go? Do you know who Young Master Xu is? How dare you be disrespectful to Young Master Xu! Xu Hao is simply too disgusted to stoop to your level today; otherwise, you would have been lying down a long time ago!"
Insulted, Li Chao didn't dare to retort, knowing that he had encountered a tough challenge.
After Wang Mazi severely reprimanded Li Chao, he turned to Xu Hao with a smile and asked, "Young Master Xu, how would you guy to be handled?"
Xu Hao waved his hand dismissively and said, "You deal with it, I didn't call you here just for this simple matter."
Wang Mazi immediately understood that Xu Hao had important matters to discuss with him and that this incident was just coincidental. He glanced quickly at the shop owner beside him who had turned pale. The shop owner immediately vacated the space and invited Xu Hao and the others inside.
Xu Hao gave the shop owner a casual glance and said, "Boss, some things shouldn't be overdone, you understand? You might step on a mine someday!"
The owner wiped the beads of sweat off his cheeks and nodded profusely, "Yes, yes, yes!"
After Xu Hao, Jiang Xuezhun, and Wang Mazi went inside, Xu Hao's jacket fluttered slightly as he released a force of Qi, slamming the door shut with a "bang!"
Wang Mazi's eyes twitched wildly! Chесk fоr thе lаtеst updаtеs оn Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (М-VL-ЕМР-YR).
Qi Energy Projection, Grandmaster!
Xu Hao had actually stepped into the realm of Grandmaster Level Experts!
He knew Xu Hao was extremely powerful, even capable of rivaling the experts in the Mastery Period, but he never expected that Xu Hao was a Grandmaster Expert!
At this moment, he no longer dared to harbor any other thoughts.
When facing a Grandmaster Level Expert, even a small gesture from them would be sufficient to kill him.
After they sat down, Xu Hao began, "In the past, you and I had some conflicts…"
Before he could finish, Wang Mazi immediately dropped to his knees with a "thump!" and said in a panicked tone, "Young Master Xu, in the past, I was blind to Mount Tai, entirely unaware of how powerful Xu Hao truly was, hence why I made many mistakes. Today, I, Wang Mazi, beg Young Master Xu to forgive my past transgressions. From now on, I will be nothing more than a dog at your side!"
Wang Mazi made himself as humble as possible.
It was not just out of fear, but more importantly, he wanted to become a Grandmaster Level Expert as well!
Xu Hao's strength had been only slightly stronger than his until recently, but now Xu Hao had reached the Grandmaster Level, which was quite telling.
Xu Hao, there must be some way to rapidly increase one's strength!
Implausible thoughts like robbing, stealing, or deceiving didn't even cross his mind. He simply hoped that by performing well under Xu Hao's command, he would earn Xu Hao's appreciation and become a Grandmaster Level Expert.
Jiang Xuezhun saw Wang Mazi, who was quite a big shot in Jing'an City, now prostrating like a dog on the ground, begging Xu Hao to take him in, and she felt a multitude of emotions.
Xu Hao's expression didn't change in reaction to Wang Mazi's plea. Instead, he spoke indifferently, "I'll be staying in Jing'an City for a while. If there are elements in this place who won't listen, we can either expel them or eradicate them. In Jing'an City, aside from the Liu Family and the Wang Family, you have the most influence… so… I want you to work for me…"
Upon hearing Xu Hao's words, Wang Mazi was inwardly startled. Xu Hao indeed had big plans. He hurriedly said, "I won't hide it from Young Master Xu—some security companies are decent and can be subdued with some effort, but some look insignificant while actually having backing, making them extremely difficult to take over?"
"Backing? What do you mean?" Xu Hao asked, puzzled.
Wang Mazi hurriedly explained, "It's —the economic growth in Jing'an City is the best among several nearby cities, which makes people from those cities also want to stir the waters and make a profit here.
We in Jing'an don't want those outsiders involved, but since they are numerous and strong, we dare not provoke them rashly. That's led to the current situation: our firm dominates, while numerous smaller security companies scatter around. If we touch any one of them, those people will band together and resist us. Their security companies are also big players in their respective markets, so we don't dare offend them lightly."
With this explanation from Wang Mazi, Xu Hao understood that because of its rapid economic growth, Jing'an City had become a big pie.
And those security company people, seeing it as an opportunity, also wanted to cut a slice of this pie for themselves, which left Jing'an City fragmented.
However, Xu Hao wasn't concerned about those other cities' security companies. He said nonchalantly, "Spread the word that tomorrow night at eight, Jing'an City International Hotel, you will host a banquet under your name for the owners of the various security companies."
Wang Mazi was overjoyed. Since Xu Hao had said this, it meant that Xu Hao had already considered him a subordinate, and according to Xu Hao's intent, he was to be made a representative!
