Chapter 469: Chapter 469

Xu Hao said with a faint smile, "You're just a mob. Injuring all of you would be as easy as turning my hand over for me. Since you've come to provoke, it would be too disgraceful for me to let you leave uninjured, wouldn't it?"

"Today, I want to tell everyone that the Martial Arts Club is not a soft persimmon that anyone can squeeze. It isn't a place where you just come and go as you please! Whoever dares to challenge the Martial Arts Club will have to pay a heavy price!"

Lu Fei immediately said angrily, "Brothers, did you hear that? Someone wants to take us all down!"

Initially, the Taekwondo members had thought of retreating after seeing how strong Xu Hao was and wanted to leave.

But Xu Hao said none of them could escape and that they must all pay a price, which instantly angered them.

Someone roared, "President, what are we afraid of? Let's do it! We have more than a hundred people; are we still afraid of just him? We'll tire him to death!"

"Exactly, this guy is too arrogant. He doesn't regard us at all. President, we must suppress his arrogance!"

"Alright! Let's do this!"

Lu Fei raised his arm and shouted, and immediately many Taekwondo Club members charged towards Xu Hao, yelling loudly.

"Hmph! Foolish and ignorant!"

Xu Hao showed no mercy and started to knock the Taekwondo Club members flying one after another.

Dealing with these ruffian-like members, Xu Hao knew he must not be merciful. Beating them half to death was the best way, or they would think he was weak and surely would cause trouble again in the future.

Qin Yao, seeing Xu Hao knocking the Taekwondo members flying like chopping melons and vegetables, couldn't help but say hesitantly, "Husband, maybe let them go?"

Jiang Xuezhun immediately said, "Sister Yao, you don't understand. The people you deal with are businessmen. Businessmen always like to leave a line when doing things, so they can meet well in the future because business matters are complex, with forces entangled. Offending someone to death isn't a good idea."

Qin Yao nodded slightly, finding Jiang Xuezhun's words reasonable.

"But, husband's actions now are different from the business field. Actually, he has already been lenient. In the martial arts world, once enmities are formed, they are deadly and can easily lead to fatalities. Husband himself is not afraid of them, but for our safety, he generally chooses to nip it in the bud," Jiang Xuezhun explained. Sourced directly from *.

"I understand now," Qin Yao sighed softly, and then became silent.

Only now did she truly understand why their business ventures had always been prosperous.

Wasn't it because Xu Hao had been clearing the way for them upfront?

Any factors unfavorable to the Xu Liu Group had been removed by Xu Hao long ago.

Just like the Xu Liu Group's plan to move the company headquarters to Huadu, why had Xu Hao come to Huadu first?

Why had he repeatedly come into conflict with many major forces in Huadu?

Because he wanted to protect and support the expansion of the Xu Liu Group, clearing all obstacles!

Realizing all this, Qin Yao's gaze towards Xu Hao softened even more, seeing her old classmate from university, who carried so much on his shoulders.

Although he was surrounded by beautiful women, making others envious, his immense sense of responsibility also piled more and more burdens on him.

Xu Hao felt the change in Qin Yao's gaze and felt warmth in his heart.

The acknowledgment from someone close for the effort he put forth was probably the feedback everyone most hoped for.

Thinking this way, however, Xu Hao was even less merciful in his actions.

Seeing Lu Fei in the crowd, loudly shouting to boost morale but showing no intention to move forward, Xu Hao suddenly smiled and said, "Lu Fei, why don't you come forward? Come and exchange a few moves with me. Are you afraid?"

Hearing Xu Hao, the Taekwondo Club members suddenly realized something was amiss and turned their gaze towards Lu Fei.

Exposed by Xu Hao, Lu Fei, despite feeling embarrassed, argued, "Xu Hao, stop your nonsense! I'm boosting everyone's morale! What if I fall? Then without a leader, how could everyone continue fighting?"

Some Taekwondo Club members nodded, feeling that Lu Fei's words made sense.

However, others frowned slightly, feeling that his words were complete nonsense.

Xu Hao scoffed and said, "Boosting morale? I think the best way to boost morale is to lead by example. During the Ming Dynasty, the emperor defended the nation's gate, always leading from the front—an exemplar of leading by example. The strength of the early Ming is well known to all. But you, you cower and hide in the crowd, resembling those late Qing officials who fled at the sight of foreigners. What's the difference?"

Compared by Xu Hao to the late Qing cowardly officials, Lu Fei was instantly furious.

Such a comparison was the greatest insult to him!

Everyone knows those cowardly officials were criticized and despised by later generations!

But, to have Lu Fei step up and be beaten? He would not agree to that.

After much thought, Lu Fei still resorted to his backup, "Xu Hao, I admit, you're formidable, I'm no match for you, but don't forget, Young Master Cao of the Cao Family stands behind me!"
