Hao Zizai and Hao Ziyou were both martial masters, yet they were killed without resistance; Hao Zizai had his throat slit in the bathroom with a razor blade, while Hao Ziyou was stabbed to death with an ice pick during a bondage ga at a hotel, also at the hands of a woman.
As for the other mbers of the Hao Family, so died in accidents, while others were assassinated; in short, the Hao Family, which had been established in the Imperial City for a long ti, was annihilated overnight.
anwhile, Hao Jian, who had been hiding in the Imperial City observing everything, realized sothing was terribly wrong the mont the Dark Group made their announcent.
"Damn, damn, it’s over! It must be Tang Ming who has returned."
Hiding in an apartnt, Hao Jian paced nervously, "I must escape quickly... No, at this point, running won’t guarantee my safety. I must think of a way to stay alive."
Imdiately, Hao Jian called Long Aiyu, saying that Tang Ming was going to kill him and asked the Long Family to protect him.
Long Aiyu didn’t take Hao Jian seriously, casually promised that if Tang Ming acted, the Long Family would ensure his safety, then hung up.
Even so, Hao Jian was still unsettled. He gritted his teeth and called Mr. Wu.
"Hao Jian, it’s been a long ti since you last called . What makes you reach out to today?"
Mr. Wu’s voice sounded both surprised and curious when the call connected.
"Grandpa Wu, help! Tang Ming wants to kill , please save ."
Hao Jian cried out tearfully.
"What?"
Mr. Wu was montarily stunned and asked in confusion, "Tang Ming is in Songlan City, how could he co to kill you? Did you go to Songlan City to provoke him?"
"I, I..."
Under pressure, Hao Jian recounted his actions.
"Fool, you’re courting death."
Mr. Wu was furious after hearing the story, "Not to ntion that Tang Ming is a Nine-star Martial Master, but he is even an ally and benefactor to our Wu Family’s Dark Group faction. As a mber of the Dark Group, you should never have targeted him."
"Grandpa Wu, I know I was wrong. Please, for the sake of the favor my grandfather did for you, save . I really don’t want to die. Wuwu, if my grandfather knew I died like this, he wouldn’t rest in peace."
Hao Jian pleaded while sobbing.
"Stop crying. Tang Ming hasn’t taken action yet, so don’t lose your head."
Mr. Wu took a deep breath. Although he wanted to ignore Hao Jian’s fate, recalling that Hao Jian’s grandfather once saved his life, he couldn’t just sit and watch.
"Zhou Xiong can’t possibly remove from my position for no reason and investigate my actions so thoroughly. It must be Tang Ming who told him, or he wouldn’t know."
Hao Jian sobbed, "What should I do now?"
"First, notify the remaining direct lineage of the Hao Family to lay low for a few days, then co to my house imdiately. Hopefully, Tang Ming will spare your life for the Wu Family’s sake."
Mr. Wu instructed quickly.
"Okay, I’m now..."
"Bang!"
Before Hao Jian could finish speaking, the door was kicked open.
"Who are you people?"
Hao Jian’s face changed dramatically as he looked fearfully at a group of mysterious n in black suits.
"We’re here to collect the debt. Co with us imdiately."
Xing Badao, expressionless, quickly moved towards Hao Jian.
"Help, Grandpa Wu help ..."
Hao Jian’s words were cut off as his phone was crushed.
Wu Family Estate.
"Damn, sothing really happened."
Mr. Wu sat gloomily in his study, slamming the table, "That Hao Jian, absolutely brainless, going off to provoke Tang Ming, isn’t this asking for death?"
"Soone call Wu Dao for ."
Calming down, Mr. Wu imdiately shouted loudly.
Very soon, Wu Dao rushed into the study, "Dad, what happened?"
"That brat Hao Jian caused trouble."
Mr. Wu glared at Wu Dao, "He actually colluded with the Ming Group, first destroying the Heavenly Cloud Palace, then plotting against Tang Ming."
"Cough, cough, did things get this big?"
Wu Dao was taken aback. The Heavenly Cloud Palace was a sect under Tang Ming, and daring to plot against Tang Ming himself was sheer madness.
"That’s why I called you here. I’m afraid this won’t end well."
Mr. Wu’s face was grim.
"Dad, no offense, but this is entirely Hao Jian’s own doing, what does it have to do with us?"
Wu Dao wiped his mouth, sitting across from Mr. Wu, "Hao Jian already severed ties with our Wu Family on behalf of the Hao Family and is now loyal to the Long Family. Even if sothing happens to him, it shouldn’t be our concern; the Long Family should step in."
"Despite that, Hao Jian’s grandfather once saved my life. Now that the Hao Family is disloyal, I can’t be ungrateful. If necessary, I’ll swallow my pride and plead with Tang Ming to spare Hao Jian’s life."
Mr. Wu rubbed his brow painfully, "You should call Tang Ming imdiately, test the waters. Hao Jian was just taken, we’re not sure if it’s Tang Ming’s doing."
"Alright."
Despite his reluctance, Wu Dao knew the importance his father placed on loyalty. He quickly pulled out his phone to call Tang Ming.
"Tang Ming’s phone is off."
Wu Dao looked at Mr. Wu in confusion and said, "Could Tang Ming have already been hard?"
"A Nine-star Martial Master isn’t that easy to kill."
Mr. Wu shook his head, gritting his teeth, "Forget it. Since we can’t reach Tang Ming, imdiately send out the Wu Family’s intelligence personnel to monitor all activities in the Imperial City. See if you can find Hao Jian’s whereabouts. If not, we’ll have to go to Songlan City ourselves."
"Alright, I’ll go do that now."
Wu Dao nodded and quickly left the study.
In the early hours, Mr. Wu was in the hall watching TV, feeling increasingly uneasy. Knowing Tang Ming, he would definitely seek revenge.
This ti, Hao Jian went too far. If Tang Ming retaliates, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Dad, bad news."
At this mont, Wu Dao rushed in anxiously.
"What happened, is Hao Jian dead?"
Mr. Wu imdiately looked towards Wu Dao.
"There’s no news on Hao Jian yet, but the Hao Family is done for."
Wu Dao swallowed nervously, "According to our intelligence, Hao Zizai, Hao Ziyou, and all important remaining mbers of the Hao Family in the Imperial City are dead."
"Hiss, who did this?"
Mr. Wu gasped, initially thinking it was just Hao Jian’s mistake. He hoped to save Hao Jian’s life, but he didn’t expect the whole Hao Family to be wiped out.
"No one knows! Right now, everyone is clueless about what happened!"
Wu Dao quickly shook his head.
