Chapter 280: Chapter 280

In fact, he was already prepared for the likelihood that this person would reach out to him, or perhaps, had forgotten about him.

But he (Chu Hao) never expected that the Pope, having been screwed over by that bastard Mu Haibai, would actually be the one to proactively call Chu Hao.

"Mas… Master," the Pope's voice trembled.

After Chu Hao picked up the call, he coldly said, "What is it? I'm extremely busy right now."

The Pope, his voice shaking, said, "Master, I'm just a thousand meters away in a building. That bastard Mu Haibai wanted me to intercept you. I now deeply regret it and plead for an opportunity to prove my innocence by killing Mu Haibai."

There was a silence from the other end of the phone. The Pope's heart nearly leaped out of his chest. If I survive, I'll make Mu Haibai pay, he cursed inwardly.

"Hmph! There is one thing I need you to do."

"Yes, I guarantee I will complete the task."

After hanging up, the Pope let out a long sigh of relief.

Mu Haibai stared at his phone as yet another person hung up on him, making it the third person to do so.

Mu Haibai cursed, "Damn it, what the hell is going on with these bastards?"

Mu Haibai had an increasingly ominous feeling and hastily called for Master Lin Mu to come and hold the fort.

Master Lin Mu, his arms embraced by two foreign women and dressed in a bathrobe, snorted coldly, "So timid. With me here, you can rest easy."

"Yes, yes, with Master Lin Mu here, I can be much more at ease. No matter what monsters or demons come, none will be a match for Master Lin Mu," Mu Haibai said, hastily buttering him up.

At that moment, Brother Hou made a call, shouting, "Big Bro, things have turned sour! These two thousand people really are here to surround us, and I'm captured. Ah! Don't kick me in the groin!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Haibai ran out of the villa like mad. At the gate, he saw Brother Hou, along with a few Shamate underlings, being brutally beaten by a group that had them cornered.

Brother Hou was getting thrashed miserably. Dozens of people were stomping on him; he wasn't even trying to cover his face, just shielding his groin.

And the crowd around them was enormous, actually queuing up to get their chance to trample someone.

It had to be said, Brother Hou had made quite a name for himself in Anli City; many Shamate elites recognized him. Now, seeing the once-glorious Brother Hou reduced to this, many wanted to step on him a couple of times, creating a huge throng.

Meanwhile, the over two hundred Shamate underlings Mu Haibai had borrowed were also bewildered.

Qin Yishan emerged; he was one of Qin Boren's people and said with a chuckle, "Monkey, you've got guts, huh?"

The 'Monkey' Qin Yishan referred to was the leader of the more than two hundred Shamate. He apprehensively responded, "Brother Shan, what… what's going on?"

Qin Yishan smiled, "Mu Haibai has messed with someone he shouldn't have. Since you've decided to back him, you better be ready to take on these thousand men from Grandpa Qin."

Monkey felt his scalp tingle. I've been screwed over by Mu Haibai, he thought.

Grandpa Qin's thousand elite Shamate? Every single one of them is stronger than my own underlings. These are the guys who helped Grandpa Qin conquer his territory in Anli City!

Someone from Cao Shanhe's camp, dressed in a black uniform, spoke indifferently, "There are also Uncle Cao's thousand men."

Monkey's legs went weak, nearly causing him to flee in disarray. But he was also quick-witted; he roared, "Brothers, charge!"

"Big… Boss, are we really attacking?" one of the underlings asked, his legs trembling.

Monkey smacked him on the head and pointed inside at Mu Haibai, saying, "Attack your grandpa! I meant for you to get Mu Haibai, that son of a bitch! How dare he set me, Monkey, up!"

The more than two thousand men turned their gaze in unison towards Mu Haibai. The latter's face changed dramatically, his scalp tingling, and he turned tail and ran for his life.

Mu Haibai was freaking out. What kind of people are these? They turn traitor at the drop of a hat. Can't we just play nicely anymore? Seriously, do people actually exist?

The betrayal came so swiftly that Mu Haibai was caught completely off guard.

Mu Haibai even started to feel desperate. Nearly three thousand people, all here to deal with me? What's more, once the Pope heard it was Chu Hao, he also turned traitor!

This was so screwed up. What in the world was happening?

His only hope now rested on firearms. With over two thousand people, surely they must be afraid of guns?

Master Lin Mu frowned as he saw the densely packed crowd outside the villa; he too was somewhat panicked. Even with knowledge of Ghost Technique, it's impossible to deal with so many people. This update ıs available on novel·fire·net

Mu Haibai shouted, "Hold them off! Anyone who takes a step into the villa, shoot them on sight!"

Mu Haibai's men, about twenty-something in number, were holding guns.

But what happened next made their scalps tingle.

They saw a large truck slam straight into the villa's gate. Dozens of people jumped off, all pulling out machine guns and handguns.

Even more outrageously, a tall Shamate was holding a rocket launcher, aiming it at the villa.

"Shit, a rocket launcher!!"

The people in the villa were all shocked, and some turned to run.

The villa's gate was blown apart by the rocket launcher, completely destroying the entrance.

"It's Qin Boren! I even sold him that rocket launcher!" Mu Haibai's face turned deathly pale.

"Hold the line, open fire!" Mu Haibai roared.

True to being an arms smuggler, Mu Haibai was not short on inventory. What followed was a fierce gun battle, a truly explosive scene.

Qin Yishan approached Chu Hao and said, "Master Chu, Mu Haibai's firepower is too strong. After all, he is an arms dealer."

Chu Hao waved his hand and said, "Dong Qi, you're up!"

Dong Qi nodded, smiling, "Yes."

With that, Dong Qi bit his own wrist, and blood splashed out. A blood-red aura enveloped him, and he instantly transformed into a swarm of ghost butterflies that flew towards the villa.

Seeing this scene, the Shamate were dumbfounded.

A person actually turned into butterflies? Is he the Fragrant Concubine or something?

"Where did these butterflies come from!" someone exclaimed.

Everyone was shocked to see a large swarm of butterflies flooding into the villa.

Eventually, some butterflies landed on Mu Haibai's men, biting fiercely into their necks. The men screamed in agony as their bodies turned a dark greenish-black. A potent, deadly poison?

Before others could even recover from their shock, they saw a woman in a wine-red dress step forward. She was incredibly seductive, making the onlookers stare.

Liang Qian smiled faintly. Her delicate hand revealed five Talismans, and she recited an incantation.

As the Talismans burned, five Skeleton Ghosts appeared in front of Liang Qian. Their bodies were made of white bones, wielding battle sabers, and the bones of their jaws clacked together as they charged towards the villa.

Everyone around was stunned by this scene.

"Shit! Skeletons?" A group of people rubbed their eyes hard.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Chu Hao was somewhat displeased. These two are stealing the limelight. How am I supposed to show off now? So inconsiderate of them.

Chu Hao said indifferently, "Keep it low-key, understand?"

Liang Qian quickly bowed her head and said, "Yes, My Lord."

"Ding... Host has successfully shown off, earning 500 show-off points."

The surrounding people were all dumbstruck. The seductively beautiful woman who can summon Skeleton Ghosts... is actually this young man's subordinate?

Only then did Chu Hao nod in satisfaction, looking towards the inside of the villa.
