Chapter 568: Chapter 568

Xu Hao frowned and said, "This tile is very strange, its material is just an ordinary tile, yet it is incredibly hard. I suspect it has been reinforced by something."

"But what kind of strengthening technique could make a tile so hard?" Anna asked in confusion.

"I'm not entirely sure," Xu Hao flipped through the inherited skills in his mind but couldn't find any relevant information. The darker portions remained unaccessible due to his insufficient strength.

"Ah? Really? If someone could make a tile this tough with just a little tampering, then their strength must be way too formidable," Anna still found it hard to believe.

Not just Anna, Xu Hao himself found it hard to believe, but the fact that the other party had left this tile for him to send money was true. If the other party indeed possessed extreme strength, then he probably really had to transfer the money.

With that in mind, Xu Hao made up his mind and said, "Transfer the money to this bank account, and have our people track it. I want to see who is playing these little tricks."

"Mm-hmm!" Anna also felt this was the best idea at the moment.

Xu Hao immediately had Wang Zhong transfer money to this bank account and had him send people to track the flow of the money in order to identify the other party.

However, Xu Hao actually understood that the chance of finding out the other party's identity was extremely slim; they definitely wouldn't let themselves be found so easily.

"Additionally, I'll throw the tile far away, hoping that the other party will come to pick it up. Maybe then, we can uncover some clues." After saying that, Xu Hao tossed the tile into the distance.

On the roof of the villa.

The scruffy Elder, though far from Xu Hao and despite Xu Hao's use of Qi Energy Projection to isolate his voice, still couldn't evade the old man's eavesdropping.

After taking a swig of alcohol, the Elder chuckled, "That brat is quite cautious, but it's a pity. That tile was solidified by me. Not only a youngster at the middle stage of Grandmaster level like you, even stronger folks won't be able to smash it. If I took it to apply for the Guinness World Records, it would undoubtedly be the hardest tile in the world."

He stood up, his body swaying as he said, "Hehe, time to collect money! But before leaving, I should take back the tile."

With a laugh, his figure blurred, and then he vanished from the spot.

Meanwhile, Xu Hao and Anna were staring intently at the tile, not daring to blink for even a second.

Suddenly, a breeze swept by, and before Xu Hao could check, the tile mysteriously disappeared!

For the first time, Xu Hao felt a bit panicked. This was the first time he encountered something out of his control.

The strength of the other party was immense, so much so that Xu Hao couldn't even begin to estimate their realm.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any malice, just wanting him to transfer money.

But with such formidable strength, why would they be lacking money?

Xu Hao was completely baffled, but his desire to grow stronger intensified even more.

In the grand scheme, there are many strong individuals, and his mere middle stage Grandmaster level strength was truly insignificant!

It wasn't long before Xu Hao received a message from Wang Zhong, "Young Master Xu, I'm sorry, the transaction information was directly interrupted, and we are unable to track the account. I suspect it has been transferred to a Swiss Bank. The world's only Swiss Bank where we cannot trace information because their confidentiality measures are done too well."

After reading the message, Xu Hao felt somewhat helpless; the other party was indeed very careful, not only strong but also cautious, which was somewhat frightening. This chapter is part of the collection on *.

For now, the only thing to do was to work hard to enhance his own strength!

"Hey, the brat actually wants to track my account information. When I was blowing up their internet base in America, you weren't even born yet, and now you're trying to pull this move on me? You're still too green!

Besides, if you caught me now, where would I be able to set my old face? How would I be able to fulfill the trust your father placed in me? Oh man, it's really tough being me. Your dad doesn't pay me a cent, but it's not too much to ask you for a bit of compensation, right?"

The scruffy Elder leisurely took out the money, weighed it in his hand, and like a magic trick, stashed it all away, leaving only a few notes. Then, he leisurely made his way to the roast duck shop.

After buying the roast duck, he ate as he wandered back to the villa complex. Even when he passed through the busy district, people around him acted as if they didn't see him. He leaped into the air, as light as a feather, and drifted onto the roof of Xu Hao's villa.

Seeing Xu Hao diligently cultivating, the Elder nodded and said, "Not bad, kid. You've been living too comfortably lately, and that's not a good thing. Now that I'm here to rile you up, you should cultivate even harder. Otherwise, when the great era begins, your small amount of strength won't be enough—someone could squash you with just a finger."

The scruffy Elder mumbled to himself for a while, then began to doze off again.
