Chapter 516: Chapter 516

"That might be true, I might be overthinking it."

Xu Hao smiled and didn't say much more. He actually could have caught up with the two if he had chased after them just now.

However, since Anna was in the car, Xu Hao wasn't comfortable leaving her alone here, just in case it was a plan to lure him away.

Nonetheless, Xu Hao was still somewhat suspicious about Jack knowing about Sword Qi.

But just as Xu Hao had gotten home, an unexpected guest arrived.

Louise was still dressed in bright red, a color she seemed to favor.

When Anna opened the door and saw her, she immediately called out, "Brother, Miss Louise is here!"

Louise smiled and said, "Dear Xu, I just received news that Jack and his group tried to harm you. I am truly sorry about this. I had no prior knowledge of their plans; otherwise, I would have done everything in my power to stop them. However, I believe you also understand that I have no control over my cousin. He hardly listens to what I say."

Xu Hao, sitting on the sofa without getting up, pointed to the sofa across from him and smiled, "I understand, Miss Louise, please have a seat."

After Louise sat down, Xu Hao looked at her meaningfully and said with a smile, "I assume, Miss Louise, that you are here not just for this matter. You should be aware that with their capabilities, they couldn't really harm me—after all, you are no ordinary person yourself."

Louise shrugged helplessly and said, "Since dear Xu you have already guessed, I no longer need to hide it. Yes, I am of the Blood Clan, with a very pure and highly concentrated Bloodline. However, under normal circumstances, I cannot fully utilize my power. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had my wallet stolen last time."

Louise awkwardly recounted the last incident when her wallet was stolen in the car. If she could use her power at any time like Xu Hao, how could someone have stolen her wallet?

Xu Hao made no comment, wondering if she was just pretending.

Although Louise had always been friendly towards Xu Hao and had eagerly invited him to save her grandfather, Xu Hao did not let down his guard completely because of this.

"Others from our kind, their hearts will differ."

She possessed a pure Blood Clan bloodline; who knew what she might do in the future.

Louise shrugged her shoulders and continued, "Dear Xu, my main reason for coming this time, just like before, is to ask you to save my grandfather..."

Just as Xu Hao was about to refuse, she quickly waved her hands and said, "Dear Xu, please let me finish. My grandfather is going to fly here in a few days, as he intends to develop a retail industry here in Huaya. When that time comes, I can bridge the connection between you and him. Your group can expand into new retail industries with our help."

"As a return, you need me to cure your grandfather, right?" Xu Hao said with a light smile.

Louise nodded obediently, which was quite mismatched with her usually aloof demeanor in front of others.

Xu Hao shook his head slightly and said, "To be honest, curing your grandfather is not impossible, but this condition alone isn't enough for me to take action. Without your help, I can still establish the retail industry on my own, unless I need you to..."

Before Xu Hao could finish, Louise immediately said, "Young Master Xu, if you were to stand against that person, I wouldn't mind belonging to you right now."

"What are you thinking? That's not what I meant!"

Xu Hao was somewhat speechless and said, "What I meant was, unless you give me a drop of your Essence Blood."

Essence Blood! Read ahead and get updates by visiting *.

Louise was extremely surprised; she had not expected Xu Hao to know about this.

Essence Blood was the most precious part of her entire blood content, and because of this rare blood, she could produce more blood similar to the Progenitors'. It was the basis, the foundation of all her blood.

The closer the blood purity to the Progenitor, the stronger her personal power became.

If the Blood Clan wanted to create a vassal, they also had to transfuse at least a drop of Essence Blood into the other's body, but each Blood Clan member only had a very limited amount of Essence Blood, which was also linked to their personal power, so creating vassals was a rare occurrence.

The TV shows depicting the Blood Clan creating a plethora of vassals at will were pure nonsense.

However, getting a Blood Clan's Essence Blood was extremely secret and could only be achieved in two ways: one, by killing and extracting the refined Essence Blood, which wouldn't be very active and would be less valuable.

The second was if the person voluntarily squeezed out a drop or a few drops of Essence Blood; such blood would be highly active and extremely valuable.

A single drop of highly active Earl-level Essence Blood could easily create a Viscount vassal!
