Chapter 487: Chapter 487

If they knew that in front of Xu Hao, someone at the Mastery Period was simply insignificant, they wouldn't have hired just one person at the Mastery Period, would they?

The elderly man said with a wry smile, "Miss An is joking. It's normal for them not to realize how strong Young Master Xu is. In their eyes, someone who has achieved Internal Energy Transformation is already quite impressive. But now that I am here, Tang Sect will no longer have any assassins conflict with Young Master Xu. We will not accept any business related to Young Master Xu, you or your family from now on."

Xu Hao looked at him and asked, "You are the Manager of the Tang Sect's external affairs, right?"

"Tang Sect's external affairs Managers are at the middle stage of Grandmaster level. The strength of the Tang Sect is formidable indeed. I'm just a Half step Grandmaster, why are you treating me with such courtesy?" Xu Hao was somewhat puzzled, had he managed to intimidate the Tang Sect?

The Tang Sect was brimming with experts, a few Grandmaster Level Assassins could easily overwhelm him if dispatched.

"Young Master Xu, some things, cannot be said. If said, I fear we might be killed." The elder's posture was extremely humble, looking like a servant despite being a middle stage Grandmaster Level Expert.

"I understand, you're saying you won't say anything, playing ignorant." Xu Hao said somewhat speechlessly, "Is there anything else?"

"Nothing for now, however..." The elder looked around cautiously and whispered, "Young Master Xu, if you have time, you could visit the Tang Sect headquarters. I can show you the way. There, you will find surprises beyond your expectations."

"I'll consider it when I have time," Xu Hao said indifferently.

He wouldn't go when his strength wasn't strong enough. The Tang Sect was full of masters, with at least five or six Grandmaster Level Experts at their headquarters, right?

With his modest strength, if he went to their headquarters and a conflict arose, wouldn't that just be like delivering himself up on a platter?

Seeing that Xu Hao was still wary of the Tang Sect, the elder wasn't surprised. After all, Tang Sect Assassins did attempt to harm Xu Hao just a few days ago. It was enough for Xu Hao to understand that they were just meeting disaster for others in exchange for money.

"Alright, Young Master Xu, I'll take my leave now." The elder bowed and then disappeared from sight.

Anna asked, "Brother, can we trust what this old man said?"

"Whether we trust him or not, it doesn't really matter." Xu Hao rubbed her little face and smiled, "Let's go meet Qi Heng, those two fellows."

Xu Hao drove the car with Anna, as if he already knew the location of Qi Heng and his companion, finding them quickly in another alley.

Upon seeing Xu Hao's car, Wang Wei immediately said, "The Tang Sect's assassin is so efficient, bringing Xu Hao here so quickly!"

Qi Heng stood up, trembling as if he had seen a ghost, and whispered in shock, "No... no, it's Xu Hao driving the car, with Anna sitting beside him, damn! Where are the Tang Sect experts?!"

"Qi Heng, Wang Wei, long time no see!"

Xu Hao stopped the car and got out to greet them.

Qi Heng suddenly realized that this assassination attempt was probably botched, and now he just hoped that the Tang Sect experts would maintain professional ethics and not betray them.

Otherwise, against Xu Hao whom not even Tang Sect experts could match, what could they use to stop him?

Qi Heng thus forced a smile and said, "Young Master Xu, what brings you here?"

Xu Hao looked at the two and said with a light smile, "Can't I come here?"

"Of course not, of course not, Young Master Xu, you've misunderstood," Qi Heng hurriedly said with a laugh.

Xu Hao's voice suddenly turned cold, "You two have a lot of nerve, daring to hire someone to take a shot at me!"

"Ah? What are you talking about, Young Master Xu? I don't understand what you're saying?" Qi Heng feigned ignorance.

Xu Hao suddenly made his move, punching Qi Heng in the abdomen, sending him staggering back several steps and crashing into the wall.

Xu Hao said coldly, "Do you take me for a fool? Still trying to bluff me when things have come to this?"

The faces of Qi Heng and his companion turned pale. They had finally confirmed that they had been exposed.

Qi Heng cursed the Tang Sect Assassins inwardly for having no professional ethics, selling him out at the first opportunity.

Xu Hao snorted, "Tell me, who told you how to contact the Tang Sect Assassin?"

Qi Heng hesitated, not really wanting to say, but Wang Wei, eager to save his own skin, immediately blurted out, "Replying to Young Master Xu, it was Young Master Cao An of the Cao Family who told us how to contact the Tang Sect Assassin." Always read from the source: *.

Seeing that Wang Wei had already sold out Cao An, Qi Heng no longer tried to conceal it and nodded in admission.

"Call him," Xu Hao instructed.

Qi Heng did so reluctantly. He didn't want to call, but seeing Xu Hao raise his fist, he instantly surrendered and dialed Cao An's number.

Xu Hao took the phone and said with a light smile, "Young Master Cao, you've got some nerve, daring to hire someone from the Tang Sect to go after me."

"Ah?? Young Master Xu, you must be mistaken, where would I get someone from the Tang Sect to go after you?" Cao An was about to have lunch when he heard Xu Hao's words and suddenly became utterly bewildered.

"Are you sure? If it wasn't your manipulation behind the scenes, how could Qi Heng and the others have hired someone from the Tang Sect to come after me?" Xu Hao spoke nonchalantly.
