Chapter 607: Chapter 607
Xu Hao stood in a corner of the stage.
It was an area that spotlights and other lights didn't illuminate, appearing quite dim.
Looking at the wildly enthusiastic crowd below, he was suddenly moved. The influence of top-tier celebrities was indeed profound.
No wonder businesses liked to involve celebrities in advertisements and events, or even if they couldn't afford to hire celebrities, they would Photoshop celebrities' photos into their advertisements.
As the captivating melody started, Chen Suyi began to sing.
Her singing was enchanting and melodious, but Xu Hao did not listen attentively because he needed to stay alert at all times.
He couldn't inspect the stage alone, so he had just had someone check it, but they found nothing amiss. Xu Hao guessed that if the opponents were to strike again, a surprise attack was likely, and it would need to be decisive.
The opponents were not fools; they surely knew that with him there, a drawn-out battle was impossible to win.
Thus, their breakthrough would likely be among these fans below. Even with thorough security checks, there would still be someone using special methods to bring in highly dangerous weapons.
It wasn't just about their ability to hide weapons, but also because of human nature—some security personnel could have been bribed.
If this were in Huadu or Jing'an, Xu Hao would naturally be thorough in ruling out such occurrences, but this was Fusang, not his territory yet. Xu Hao couldn't ensure absolute security in every aspect.
As song followed song, everyone became immersed in the melodies, swaying their bodies with the music's rhythm and drifting through the ocean of tunes.
Just then, a muffled boom sounded, and the entire stage began to sink!
It felt as if an earthquake had struck, causing the ground to cave in!
Chen Suyi was instantly filled with immense fear, seeing the spot where she stood suddenly become a void, as if there was an abyss below, utterly dark as if a giant mouth of the deep was waiting to swallow her!
Xu Hao's expression subtly changed, his figure quickly shifted, and his feet crushed the ground, causing two depressions. In the next moment, he was beside Chen Suyi, reaching out to grab her through telekinesis and holding her in his embrace.
Just as Xu Hao was about to land, then swiftly escape with Chen Suyi, something unexpected occurred.
Ten men, indistinguishable from ordinary people, suddenly shot up from below. They leaped several times off the ground, reaching Xu Hao's surroundings and encircling him.
These men knew that any surprise attack by them, those who hadn't reached Grandmaster level, would be ineffective against a Grandmaster level expert. A Grandmaster level expert's heightened sense of danger would allow them to evade these lower-level assassinations.
However, they had a precedent of successfully killing a Grandmaster level expert, even though it was only an early stage Grandmaster, but that was still a significant feat!
Therefore, they were not afraid of Xu Hao.
Moreover, Xu Hao was so young, at best an early stage Grandmaster.

Xu Hao said coldly, "You do have some abilities, managing to send out ten mastery period experts again, but that's all there is to it."
Although Xu Hao said this, the ten men remained unfazed.
The leader of the men said, "Taking people's money to eliminate their disasters, there's nothing right or wrong about it. We only recognize money."
"You are from an assassin organization?" Xu Hao immediately asked.
"Correct." The leader said openly, "The one to kill you comes from the Blood Evil Sect."
"Blood Evil Sect? Interesting. I might also take a trip to the Blood Evil Sect. Since you dare to kill me today, tomorrow, I will make your Blood Evil Sect pay a heavy price. If you give up now, I'll let bygones be bygones," Xu Hao spoke indifferently.
The leader was stunned momentarily, but quickly regained his composure. He hadn't expected Xu Hao to utter such bold words.
The Blood Evil Sect was a name that terrified the people of Jianghu!
They killed without considering anything other than money. As long as the money was sufficient, there was no one they couldn't kill!
He said coldly, "We don't care who you are. Since you are the target our employer wants dead, then we must kill you."
"What about her?" Xu Hao pointed at Chen Suyi and asked.
"Her?" The leader said unhurriedly, appearing unhurried, "She might be an ordinary person, but she has a noteworthy identity, so naturally, she has her own price."
"So… what's my price?" Xu Hao asked with a smile.
"50 million Huaya Currency."
"I'm only worth a mere 50 million?"
Xu Hao spoke with slight surprise, "After all, I am a Grandmaster level expert, isn't that a bit too little?"
"An early stage Grandmaster is worth 50 million Huaya Currency, that price is already high. Middle stage Grandmaster is 100 million, late stage Grandmaster 200 million, and we don't take higher than that," the leader stated.
Xu Hao exclaimed admiringly, surprised that they even dared to take on assignments against late stage Grandmasters!
