As soon as Chang Wande finished his statement, he immediately looked toward Xu Hao.
But what shocked him was that there wasn't the slightest change in Xu Hao's expression; he still appeared nonchalant and calm.
Anna, however, nodded slightly and said, "Oh, the Sun Family, huh? Is there anything else?"
Chang Wande became somewhat frantic. Did these two not know about the Sun Family?
Or were they scared silly?
He said loudly, "Yes, it's the Sun Family, and only the Sun Family. In Tiannan Province, if you want to get ahead, you can simply latch onto any major family, and I, Chang Wande, have pledged my allegiance to the Sun Family, one of the Four Great Families of Huadu!"
Anna said, "We get it, the Sun Family. But what of it? Is the Sun Family very formidable?"
The full series lives on My Virtual Library Empire (*).
Chang Wande then understood: these two had no idea how formidable the Sun Family was, no wonder they weren't shocked.
He sneered and said, "The Sun Family, they are one of the four most powerful forces in Huadu..."
Xu Hao nonchalantly interrupted him and said, "They are only powerful on the surface, after all. The Sun Family is hardly worth my fear. You withdraw from Jing'an City, and this matter comes to an end."
Chang Wande said coldly, "Invading Jing'an City is a directive personally assigned to me by Young Master Sun Han Ren. How could I possibly withdraw just because you say so!"
Xu Hao looked at him and asked, "When did Sun Han Ren issue you this directive?"
"Last spring," Chang Wande said frankly, for there was no longer any need for subtlety at this point.
"That explains it, then. He probably has forgotten about it by now; otherwise, he would have already ordered you to withdraw from Jing'an City," Xu Hao said with a slight nod.
Although he did not know what Wang Zhong had spoken to members of the Sun family about nor what measures he had taken, the fact that the members of the Sun family had obediently relinquished the complete control over an entire mall without any complaints afterward indicated that the energy behind Xu Hao was something they knew they absolutely could not afford to provoke.
"Haha, tonight I've truly seen what counts as boastful talk," Chang Wande sneered.
"I'll call Young Master Sun right now. I want to see exactly which temple's great Buddha you are!" he said and then dialed several times before the call was finally answered. A somewhat groggy voice came through, "Who is it, disrupting people's sleep at this hour?"
Chang Wande hurriedly said, "Young Master Sun, it's me, Chang Wande, the chairman of Xin Ya Security Group from Lin'an City."
Chang Wande's demeanor was exceedingly servile, like an old servant speaking to his master.
In many people's hearts, there was a slight sigh. A powerful man like Chang Wande, controlling a city's security group's forces, also had to act so abjectly in the face of a major family's young master.
"Who cares who you are while I'm sleeping? Not even the Heavenly King would do! What I hate the most is being woken up when I'm asleep! Hang up, we'll talk about anything tomorrow!" With that, the line was about to be cut off.
Chang Wande quickly said with an ingratiating laugh, "Young Master Sun, please don't hang up. There's a kid here named Xu Hao saying that to him, the Sun Family isn't worth a dime..."
"Whoever wants to talk can go talk, now is the time for sleeping, and not even the sky falling is more important than my sleep!"
Just as the line was about to be cut on the other end, suddenly it said, "Wait a second, who did you say it was?"
"Xu Hao, the 'Xu' from Lin Zexu, and 'Hao' from the vast heavens…" Chang Wande hastened to explain.
"Is it a guy who looks around twenty years old, always with a beauty by his side?"
"This... Yet the girl by his side, although beautiful, seems a bit young..."
"What's the girl's name?"
A roar from the other end of the phone made Chang Wande tremble, his hands shaking as he hurriedly said, "Young Master Sun, what's the matter?"
"Damn! I knew it was that guy, no one else would dare to speak so audaciously!"
On the other end of the phone, Sun Han Ren profanely muttered, "You didn't provoke him, did you?"
"This... I probably haven't," Chang Wande said somewhat sheepishly.
"Damn, that guy is a madman, yet his strength is tremendous, and his background is extremely powerful. No one can handle him, not to mention a few days ago, he stirred up such a mess here in Huadu.
He made the niece of the Zhou Family so angry that no one knows where she ran off to, damned kid, and our family's biggest mall was forcibly bought by this brat; we, the whole family, didn't dare to utter a word. Tang Sect tried to assassinate him so many times and got counter-killed by him instead, and that idiot from the Cao Family was made unable to lift his head completely, now known as the brazen Young Master Cao..."
Sun Han Ren had felt too much frustration recently. Now, suddenly bringing up Xu Hao in the middle of the night made him ramble on involuntarily.
There he was, talking as if it was a family chat, yet the people at this end of the phone were utterly shocked, their eyes wide and mouths agape, growing larger as they listened.
Since these words were coming from the mouth of Young Master Sun Han Ren himself, they could not be false.
And precisely because of this, everyone finally grasped the unrestrained manner in which Xu Hao conducted himself and the terrifying extent of the energy behind him!
