Chapter 1284: Chapter 1284

"These Four Great Families can be said to have a firm grip on the economic lifeline of Tianbei Province. Combined, their industries at least account for one-third of the entire province!

In our Tianbei Province, it's imperative not to offend members of these four families. This Third Young Master of the Ning Family, Ning Han, along with the other young masters, is known as one of the Four Young Masters of Tianbei Province—absolutely untouchable." The person lowered their voice extremely, as if afraid of being overheard. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel※fire.net

There's no choice; speaking such words in front of the Third Young Master of the Ning Family, though without any intent of slander, could lead them to trouble.

Xu Hao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about them. Let's just go and enjoy ourselves."

"Mmhmm!" Anna immediately quieted down obediently.

The person glanced at Xu Hao and said, "Keep your friends in check; don't let them speak recklessly here, or they won't even know how they died."

Xu Hao chuckled lightly and didn't say more. As long as others don't provoke him, there's no need for him to seek trouble with them.

However, Liu Ruyan and the other two girls couldn't help but glance down, and with that glance, they caught the eye of Ning Han and his companions.

Just as Xu Hao was leading the three girls up the mountain, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Ladies in the front, may I join you for some fun?"

When Xu Hao and the other three turned around, they found that it was none other than Ning Han, the Third Young Master of the Ning Family. His gaze wandered over Liu Ruyan and the other girls without any attempt to conceal his lecherous intentions.

Liu Ruyan and the two other girls immediately hid behind Xu Hao. They weren't afraid of him but found him utterly disgusting.

Xu Hao said blandly, "I'm sorry, but they don't want to have fun with you."

Ning Han turned to Xu Hao, and said coldly, "Who are you?"

"Me? I'm their boyfriend," Xu Hao responded matter-of-factly.

However, upon hearing Xu Hao's words, everyone was stunned.

If you claimed to be the boyfriend of even one among them, people might believe you. But declaring yourself the boyfriend of three distinctly styled beauties, isn't that nonsense?

There are no women nowadays willing to share a husband, is there?

Ning Han burst into laughter, "Oh wow, kid, you're really arrogant, daring to say you're the boyfriend of all three. Do your parents know how cocky you are?"

Xu Hao chuckled lightly, "I'm simply stating the truth. If you don't believe it, there's nothing more I can do."

Ning Han snorted coldly, "Kid, from your accent, you seem to be from out of town? Do you know who I am?"

"I've heard you're the third son of the Ning Family, Ning Han?" Xu Hao replied flatly.

"Hmph! Since you know who I am, why haven't you gotten out of my way yet?!"

Ning Han, accustomed to arrogance and dominance, didn't care who Xu Hao was and directly started throwing insults.

The onlookers quickly stepped back. Ning Han was known for his temper, young and spirited, quick to anger. They didn't want to become collateral damage.

Xu Hao was momentarily stunned; what's wrong with this Ning Han, acting so wildly upfront?

Previously, even Wu Mengchong and others weren't as brazen; at least they would put on some pretense.

The short man standing next to Ning Han saw that Xu Hao remained unmoved, and immediately shouted in anger: "Kid, can't you understand human language? Our Third Young Master told you to get lost immediately! Or else you'll be in for some trouble!"

Xu Hao chuckled lightly, "In for trouble? I'm really curious to see how you plan to deal with me."

Just as Ning Han's men were about to get angrier at Xu Hao, Ning Han suddenly sneered, "Kid, it's obvious you're defiant. Here's the deal; I won't bully you—let's have a fair competition. Whoever wins can get one of these three beauties. How about it?"

Hearing Ning Han's proposal, Xu Hao burst into laughter, "Isn't what you're saying a bit ridiculous? They already belong with me. Why do I need to compete to win them? Moreover, what do you take them for? Objects?"

Ning Han snorted, "I've never failed to get what I want. I ask you plainly, dare you contest me?"

Anna chimed in, "Brother, we're bored anyway. Why not accept his challenge, but let's switch the competitor to us? I can't miss out on such fun."

Liu Ruyan immediately refused, "Anna, stop making trouble. This Ning Han clearly came prepared. If your husband loses, it would be embarrassing."

She understands well that clowns like Ning Han are no match for Xu Hao at all—they're not even in the same league. So if Xu Hao competes, there's no suspense in the outcome.

Ning Han is bound to use some petty tricks, but against Xu Hao, they're ineffective!

However, if Anna and the others were to take part, it introduces an element of unpredictability, which Liu Ruyan does not wish to see.

If he loses, Xu Hao will have to break the rules.
