Hearing Xu Hao's words, the second wife of the Zhao Family of Changyang was instantly taken aback.
She hadn't expected Xu Hao to be so perceptive.
Indeed, while she was verbally proclaiming her deference to Xu Hao, deep down, she was still firmly convinced that she could exact her revenge!
Even though the Zhao Family of Changyang couldn't be relied upon anymore, she could still seek help from other forces!
With her beauty, capturing the attention of n from more powerful factions - wouldn't that be a piece of cake?
Therefore, despite displaying a humble and regretful deanor, she was still plotting revenge.
However, Xu Hao's words instantly jolted her awake, realizing she couldn't hide her intentions from him!
Xu Hao sneered, "If you had been honest, I might not have acted against you, but you have no remorse whatsoever and are still thinking of revenge. I can't let you off lightly. Now, uphold your end of the wager, kneel!"
Xu Hao let out a cold snort, and an overwhelming pressure directly swept over the second wife, forcing her to kneel on the ground at once.
The second wife raised her head to look at Xu Hao. Though she was reluctant to apologize to him, her urge to survive made her succumb.
"Young Master Xu, I'm sorry. I'll fulfill the wager now, da... daddy..." The second wife was utterly humiliated uttering these words and buried her head deep in her chest.
She never imagined she would call soone a decade younger than herself 'daddy' in front of everyone.
Xu Hao said indifferently, "Since you haven't caused any substantial harm to , I won't punish you for now. But if you go against in the future, don't bla for being harsh! Get lost!"
At Xu Hao's command, she fled the scene in a panic, without looking back.
Several elders of the Zhao Family of Changyang approached. They looked at Xu Hao but didn't know what to say.
Xu Hao cast a cold glance at them and said, "You can all leave. I hope you won't oppose in the future; otherwise, I wouldn't mind killing you all, just like I did with the Mao Family mbers."
"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare," they earnestly thanked him, hastily leaving the troubleso place.
Zhao Gongli smiled, "Xu Hao really is still the sa Xu Hao, incredibly powerful and inspiring awe."
Xu Hao chuckled, "It's just that they're too weak."
He looked at the remaining mbers of the Lü Family. He actually hadn't killed many, and over a thousand from the Lü Family were looking at him with dread.
Zhao Yanhong said, "What do you plan to do with them?"
"Let them develop freely; they won't grow much in the short term. By the ti they do, I will have beco even stronger, so I won't fear them," Xu Hao said calmly.
"Didn't you say not to nurture threats? But what you're doing now seems a bit like nurturing a threat," Zhao Yanhong questioned.
"I said I wouldn't nurture threats, but I never said I would kill innocents indiscriminately. Most of them probably don't even know who I am, so why should I kill them? Besides, for there to be a threat, they'd first have to be tigers, right? But in my eyes, they're just ants. Are you really afraid of ants growing into sothing formidable?" Xu Hao said calmly.
"Alright, whatever you decide," Zhao Yanhong realized she couldn't persuade him and let it be.
After settling matters, Xu Hao left with Zhao Yanhong and Mao Ping, the head of the Mao Family, while Liu Tianxiong headed to Jing'an City on his own.
Mao Ping knew what Xu Hao wanted and had ntally prepared to disclose all the secrets he knew to Xu Hao.
On the way, Xu Hao asked Mao Ping to reveal the secrets he knew.
After listening to everything, Xu Hao dumped Mao Ping aside, letting him find his way ho to reorganize the Mao Family.
Zhao Yanhong smirked, "You're really heartless. Just after he told you the information you needed, you rcilessly discarded him."
Xu Hao laughed, "What else could I do? Should I escort him ho? Wishful thinking!"
"Tch! He's not a girl; Sister Ruyan and the others wouldn't get jealous," Zhao Yanhong teased.
"Are you itching for a beating, questioning even that? Even if it were a girl, why would they be jealous? I'm such an upright person, and you guys doubt ?" Xu Hao laughed imdiately.
"Hmph! You're really a pig-headed guy! You don't understand anything!"
Zhao Yanhong huffed, "Enough joking around. Of what he just told you, what was actually useful to you?"
The smile on Xu Hao's face slowly faded, "The information the Mao Family knows isn't much. After all, they're not a typical martial arts family and don't know much about martial arts news. However, regarding comrce, he was thorough, even telling about hidden treasures. But those riches don't an much to because I'm not short of money."
