Chapter 674: Chapter 674

Therefore, the man had to put in an exceptional amount of effort to impress, as only by doing so could he stand a chance of winning Guo Lan's heart.

Xu Hao looked toward the red-haired young man with a hint of disdain in his eyes. Did he really think he could deceive him?

The red-haired youth stood up and then said to Xu Hao, "Young Master Xu, yes, I am from the Wu family, but do not forget that we, the Wu family members, are not easily bullied. The Tu family stands behind us, and although Third Young Master Tu has not yet managed to defeat you, the power of the Tu family is undeniable. Do you really want to start a conflict with the Wu family over a small fry like me in this kind of situation?"

It was as if the red-haired youth had suddenly seen the light. He pointed toward the top of the mountain and said, "Young Master Xu, tonight, important figures from all major families and leaders of major forces in Huadu are here. Do you really want to lose face by stooping to the level of a small fry like me in front of this large crowd? Would that not be beneath your dignity?"

Hearing him say this, many people nodded repeatedly.

What status did Xu Hao have now?

To say he was the foremost person in Huadu was not an exaggeration at all!

The likes of Zhou Changcun and Wu Mengchong from the past Huadu elites were no match for Xu Hao now!

Even the Third Young Master of the Half Hidden Tu family was no match for him! Al%w#ay.s* r+ea-d@ at the so.u^rc@e—*+.

At his level, he was on an equal footing with the Family Heads of major families, and even surpassed them!

But precisely because of this, if Xu Hao still bothered to contend with such trivial figures as the red-haired youth, it really would seem like he was petty.

However, Xu Hao scoffed and said, "I never care about others' opinions when I handle matters. If it were before, I would have slapped such trash to death early on, but today is different. I'm going to take you to see Wu Yong, I want to ask him face-to-face if all the people from his family are as lowly and despicable as you."

Hearing Xu Hao say this, the red-haired man's heart turned ice-cold.

If Xu Hao took him to see the Family Head, he might as well be dead, which would be more than enough to disgrace the Wu family!

Even if he survived tonight, he would undoubtedly be tortured to death by Wu Yong and others from the Wu family using extremely cruel methods.

Because he had disgraced the Wu family.

Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Young Master Xu, I really made a mistake, our Wu family is nothing before you, and I am even less significant, just a tiny ant. Please let me go, spare my life, alright?"

Xu Hao said coldly, "If I were to spare you, what about Teacher Guo and her daughter who you almost harmed? What about those people you have previously killed? Will they rest in peace? You are brimming with Evil Qi, you must have killed at least five innocent people! I never underestimate anyone, and to talk of lowering my status is utterly ridiculous!"

The red-haired youth had killed at least five people!

Everyone was stunned.

They had thought the red-haired youth was just a small-time thug who would bully the meek, putting on an act in front of these powerless civilians.

But no one could have imagined that he had the blood of innocent people on his hands, and at least five people at that!

"You... you are slandering me! I have never harmed anyone!" The red-haired youth panicked. The bullying he did to ordinary people on a daily basis might have been considered minor, and even the most severe consequences would not cost him his life.

However, if it came out that he had secretly harmed innocent people, he was undoubtedly doomed to die!

Which member of a noble family doesn't have some dirt on their hands?

But if it doesn't come to light, their facade can still exist, and they can still continue pretending to be good people.

But if it gets exposed, that's disastrous.

Their public image collapses, the family's punishment, the pressure from public opinion...

Although he was just an unremarkable disciple of the Wu family, he was still a member!

Outside, every action of his represented the Wu family!

If his crimes were exposed, then the reputation of the Wu family would be even more severely damaged.

The people of the Wu family definitely wouldn't let him off!

"I am slandering you?"

Xu Hao scoffed, "It seems you will not cry until you see the coffin! But I am not free to deal with you right now, just be quiet for a while."

With that, Xu Hao casually tapped a few times, and the young men instantly stood frozen in place like statues, unable to move!

Acupuncture point sealing!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They had no idea Xu Hao knew acupuncture point sealing technique; this was their first real-life encounter with the legendary skill.

Just a few light taps and a person could be immobilized, this was simply too incredible!

The red-haired youth and others glared at Xu Hao with faces full of anger. If looks could kill, their glares would have already killed Xu Hao.

They could neither flee nor commit suicide; this was simply worse than being killed directly!

"Wow! So impressive!" Qian Youyou, the little girl, immediately exclaimed in surprise, her eyes sparkling, feeling that Xu Hao's skill was truly magical.

Xu Hao smiled at her and then said to Guo Lan, "Teacher Guo, rest assured, from now on in Huadu, no one will be able to force you to do anything!"
