The sudden voice made everyone involuntarily look over.
Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, a handsome and tall man walked toward them.
Clad in a black cape, he walked in the slightly cold wind, the cape rustling as he moved, his entire demeanor stern, a hint of mocking curvature at his lips.
Xu Hao looked at him indifferently and smiled, "What wind has blown Young Master Wu over here again?"
The newcomer was none other than Wu Mengchong, Young Master Wu himself!
Wu Mengchong smiled lightly, "Young Master Xu, the Cao Family is allied with our Wu Family by marriage. We can involve ourselves in the Cao Family's matters. Tonight's issue, after all, is just some subordinates overstepping due to personal desires. Why stoop to their level and unnecessarily demean your status as Young Master Xu?"
Xu Hao's gaze shifted subtly, "When did Cao An inform you? How did you get here so quickly?"
Cao An hastily replied, "Just now, I informed Young Master Mengchong."
Wu Mengchong sneered, "I happened to be nearby. What, is that a problem?"
"It is a problem!" Xu Hao unexpectedly strong-armed the conversation and snorted, "You really think I know nothing? Your Wu Family must be gearing up for some major move, eh? What are you planning to build here?"
Xu Hao looked up toward the distance, his tone chilly, "This place is located in the Huadu suburbs. It's quite remote. Normally, only a bus line passes through here, there isn't even a subway. It wouldn't make sense to build anything here unless..."
Wu Mengchong's face shifted slightly, he exclaimed sharply, "Xu Hao, don't spout nonsense!"
Xu Hao chuckled coldly, "Wu Mengchong, I haven't even specified what it is yet, but you already know what I mean?"
Wu Mengchong snorted, "Young Master Xu, we are both influential people. It's no longer interesting to play these games. Say what you know, what you want, but please have everyone else leave for now."
Cao An's expression flickered slightly, and he quickly instructed the security guards to leave, then he himself left and stood by a trailer.
Wu Mengchong looked toward Louise and Xiao Lan, his tone icy, "Young Master Xu, letting them know certain things might actually harm them."
Xu Hao's eyes instantly turned extremely cold, and he fixed his gaze on Wu Mengchong, "Wu Mengchong, are you threatening me?" This version was sourced from *.
Although Wu Mengchong said he didn't dare, his gaze didn't withdraw and he stared straight at Xu Hao, "Xu Hao, our loss at the hotel earlier was because we underestimated your strength, but remember, this is Huadu, our territory. We are ready to compete on the business field, but if you keep flipping tables and breaking the rules, don't blame us for playing dirty!"
Louise's face changed. Why was Wu Mengchong so assertive now?
Had he found some support?
The Eighteen Protectors of Wu Family, indeed some are said to possess Grandmaster Strength, but those individuals are old antiques who rarely take action. Certainly, they aren't at the beck and call of just any new generation Young Master like Wu Mengchong.
There must be something fishy going on!
She looked at Xu Hao, wondering if he had noticed it too.
Of course, Xu Hao understood, yet he didn't look at her, instead he said, "Wu Mengchong, have you found a big supporter? But, in Huadu the strong martial force belongs to major families like yours, and only the Tang Sect besides that, right? But could you have actually persuaded a Tang Sect expert to assassinate me? Ordinary people are no match for me."
Wu Mengchong coldly chuckled, "Tang Sect? They are nothing more than an underground assassination sect. They are just killing machines for hire. What future do they have? Xu Hao, I'm warning you, rein it in a bit! My father is old and doesn't dare to stir trouble, he fears you, but I'm not afraid! If you keep this up, be careful or I might really ask that expert to take action!"
"Oh? It seems you have quite powerful backers now?"
Xu Hao observed him with interest, "I belong to no sect, and I don't even know the extent of my own strength, but I advise you, before your backers send some expert, better behave yourself. Otherwise, believe it or not, I can take your life in a minute!"
With that, Xu Hao slapped a crumbling wall, and with a thunderous sound, the wall smashed into pieces.
Wu Mengchong was instantly terrified; Xu Hao's strength was too formidable. Although he also practiced martial arts, compared to Xu Hao, he was mere child's play.
In front of Xu Hao, he had virtually no chance of resisting, which made him very afraid.
And Cao An and others were even more utterly terrified. Xu Hao had been assassinated before, and although Cao An knew about it, he had never seen it firsthand or had any video evidence, so he didn't know how strong Xu Hao really was.
But now, as he watched Xu Hao break a wall with a single slap, he was immediately filled with dread. If Xu Hao had lost his temper and acted just then, could he have survived?
At that moment, the security captain collapsed to the ground.
