Chapter 567: Chapter 567

Wang Zhong was truly shaken by Xu Hao's words, even Xu Hao's own father had never spoken such things.

Those who gathered intelligence lived days of constant fear, never sure if they would be killed in the next second.

Therefore, before joining the organization within the Xu family, everyone had to sign a confidentiality agreement and a pledge.

Life and death are destined, riches and honor are in heaven's hands

Basically, that was the life of people like them; although not exactly licking blood off their knife's edge, it was close enough.

Spy work was indeed more complex and difficult than the tasks of a pure martial artist.

One misstep could lead to an unnamed grave.

Thus, no one would specifically seek revenge for them, as there was no necessity.

But Xu Hao said he would avenge the brothers who died on their missions!

How could Wang Zhong's heart not be moved?

With such a master, what more could he ask for?

He hurriedly responded, "Young Master Xu, I will definitely convey your words to the brothers, to make sure they all understand your intentions!"

Xu Hao spoke with firm determination, "Tell them what I said is no empty promise, I will absolutely do it! Repay kindness with kindness, repay grievance with grievance, that is the belief I have always held!"

"Good!" Wang Zhong was overjoyed and his loyalty to Xu Hao grew even stronger.

Xu Hao knew that Wang Zhong was now even more loyal, but that wasn't his main goal; he simply felt that those who worked hard gathering intelligence and helped him handle problems in the shadows also deserved higher compensation.

The sloppy old man lying on the roof of the villa basking in the Sun had also heard Xu Hao's speech.

His eyes twinkled as he muttered, "Those kids are just doing some simple tasks, and Xu Hao is planning to raise their salary and benefits. Shouldn't I also ask him for payment? As an elder, I can't be working for free, right? But, I can't let him know, which makes things a bit tricky."

After mulling it over, the old man made up his mind and said, "Never mind, I must ask this kid for payment—not much, just enough for buying wine will do."

With that, he reached out to grab a tile firmly stuck to the rooftop, which suddenly flew into his hand through the air. Then, with his index finger, he scribbled a note on the tile and casually threw it down.

Xu Hao had just hung up the phone when he saw something falling from the sky.

He frowned slightly, the object was falling too fast; without paying special attention, he could not see what it was.

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Hao walked out.

However, he found it was just a tile.

Thinking it over, Xu Hao didn't pick it up directly. Instead, he levitated it and saw the message written on it, "Kid, I am Emperor Qin Shi Huang. I am about to revive my one million strong army. Send money to me, not less than one million. Once I revive my army, I'll appoint you as the Naval Admiral!"

There was a string of digits on the tile which seemed to be a bank account number.

"???" Always read from the source: *.

Xu Hao was momentarily speechless. Who was causing mischief ?

All this talk about Emperor Qin Shi Huang, sending money, reviving armies of one million—it sounded like the scams thieves play, right?

Just as Xu Hao was about to throw the tile on the floor, he felt something was amiss. Controlling his Qi Force, he tried to erase the writing on the tile.

Yet, to his surprise, he couldn't affect the writing on the tile at all!

This was clearly just an ordinary tile!

Immediately, Xu Hao felt something was highly abnormal. Controlling his Qi Force—he could cut through steel beads with his Qi Force, sharper than a steel knife.

But now, he couldn't even affect this little tile!

Xu Hao quickly realized; this tile had fallen with extreme speed from the sky. If it were an ordinary tile, it would have shattered into pieces upon landing.

Yet this tile remained unharmed without even a scratch!

This tile was far from ordinary!

In the end, Xu Hao still took the tile in his hands, examining it back and forth, but aside from being overly sturdy, he found nothing amiss.

Anna then walked out of the bedroom, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and asked, "Brother, what are you doing with that tile?"

Xu Hao laughed, "This tile is extraordinary, probably the hardest tile in the world."

"How hard? Let me try throwing it down."

Anna's interest was piqued. She took the tile from Xu Hao's hand and, channeling her Qi Force, flung it hard onto the floor.

Anna, having practiced cultivation, had immense power when she channeled her Qi Force, yet the tile was undamaged, breaking the floor tile it landed on instead.

"My oh my, it can't be fake! Is this a steel tile or what!" Anna gasped in astonishment. How could the tile be so hard?
