CHAPTER 324: CHAPTER 324: ALOOF AND PRETENTIOUS_1

Chu Hao felt a rush of exhilaration. He had fantasized about this scene over and over again in his mind, and it had finally come true. He, too, had at last flaunted his opulence, feeling an immense thrill.

The flashy sports car roared and thundered away.

The people left behind were stunned, cursing, "Damn it! So what if he drives a luxury car? That doesn’t make him hot shit!"

"Holy shit! Who is that kid, being so arrogant?"

"And to think, we could never afford one in our lifetime."

「Back at the Sanqing Pavilion.」

Chu Hao received a package. Upon opening it, he found fifty packets of white powder. This is definitely the Happy Union Powder, he thought.

Chu Hao chuckled slyly. I’m actually looking forward to someone showing up at my door now.

Especially Yan Chen, that kid who’d sent people to the hospital looking for him. It would be perfect if that brat showed up; I could give him a good thrashing.

It was still early, only eight o’clock, and Baby Diao Chan, who hadn’t been seen all day, was nowhere to be found.

"To the internet café."

Chu Hao had always been an internet addict. When he arrived at the internet café, before he could even log on to a computer, two burly men in black approached him. "Chu Hao, please come with us," one said.

Chu Hao was startled. "Who are you guys?"

The burly man on the left replied, "7th District Office. We’re from the He Family, as you know."

The He Family?! They found me this quickly?

Chu Hao sneered coldly but followed them out without any fuss and got into a black Audi.

In the car sat a middle-aged man. He had sent people to find Chu Hao but hadn’t actually expected him to show up.

The middle-aged man’s face was cold. "I am He Tao’s father, He Chenguang."

He Tao’s father?

Chu Hao crossed his arms and laughed scornfully. "What do you want with me?"

He Chenguang took a deep breath. "My son has been crippled by you. What do you think I’m going to do?"

Chu Hao laughed. "Just you? Coming after me with these two dumb brutes?"

The two burly men in black glared at Chu Hao, while He Chenguang said coldly, "Knowing how formidable you are, do you think I would come unprepared?"

"I’ve already placed a bomb in this car. The moment you make a move, someone will press the detonator."

Chu Hao was surprised. This guy is truly ruthless.

"Aren’t you in the car too?"

He Chenguang sneered. "Kid, do you know why the He Family has become one of the departments in the Seventh District and one of the Nine Gates of Huaxia? It’s because we’re ruthless!"

That was one hell of a power move, Chu Hao thought. Brother Hao has to give it to him.

"Alright, what do you want?" Chu Hao asked indifferently.

He Chenguang smiled faintly, his tone sinister. "I thought you weren’t afraid of death. Turns out you’re just a brat after all."

Chu Hao retorted coldly, "Old man, you’re overestimating yourself. I could walk out right now. Could you stop me? Go ahead, set off that bomb. Let’s see who dies first—you or me."

He Chenguang’s face instantly turned ugly.

He knew Chu Hao was formidable and ruthless too; this kid was difficult to deal with.

"What about my son’s curse!" He Chenguang exclaimed.

Chu Hao waved his hand dismissively and laughed coldly. "Your son was shortsighted and greedy, coveting the True Word Brush. Brother Hao spared his life, and that was merciful enough. Do you really think Brother Hao is easy to bully?"

"You!" He Chenguang took a deep breath. "Give the ancient book back to me."

"Heh... Are you out of your mind? Is that even possible?" Chu Hao looked at He Chenguang as if he were an idiot.

He Chenguang’s expression turned extremely angry. "Chu Hao, don’t reject a toast only to drink a forfeit. I, He Chenguang, have never failed when it comes to killing someone."

Chu Hao waved his hand dismissively and countered coldly, "If you dare, have the He Family come after me. Goodbye! Brother Hao isn’t playing along."

Chu Hao opened the car door and walked right out, unfazed by their claims of a bomb.

Watching Chu Hao leave, He Chenguang was infuriated to the extreme and slammed his hand onto the car seat angrily.

"Second Master, the background investigation on Chu Hao is complete," a man in black said, handing over a file.

He Chenguang glanced at it and suddenly sneered.

「To Jiulong Town.」

"Yes, sir."

He Chenguang had no idea that this very decision was about to bring disaster upon the He Family.

Chu Hao hadn’t actually left. Should I go back and eliminate He Chenguang? he pondered. Leaving someone like him alive is a hidden threat.

Chu Hao released Sadako. "Sadako, follow them. If anything serious happens, possess someone and call me."

Sadako nodded and drifted into the cabin of the Audi.

At eight in the evening, Chu Hao drove his flashy limited-edition Koenigsegg to the Liu Guang Building. Mu Yufei hadn’t arrived yet, so Chu Hao idled in the car, bored.

I haven’t played with the Pretentious Dice in a long time.

Chu Hao rubbed his hands together, took out the Pretentious Dice, and thought, Dice, my big brother, you’ve got to come through for me! Brother Hao will make offerings of cattle and sheep to you one of these days.

"Here I go!"

The Pretentious Dice landed, showing "Good Luck Show-off" on top.

Chu Hao laughed excitedly. I’m invincible today! If I could have a romantic encounter with a goddess queen, it would be absolutely heavenly! I wonder where Brother Hao’s first piece of good luck will show up today?

Chu Hao felt he couldn’t just sit in the car any longer, so he got out to wait.

His car was too eye-catching. There were many luxury cars at the Liu Guang Building, but his overshadowed them all. Numerous fashionably dressed young women and men had already noticed the supercar.

Finally, they saw the owner get out.

"Ding... Host has successfully shown off, received 500 Pretentiousness Points."

Indeed, it’s good fortune. Just getting out of the car earned me Pretentiousness Points!

From a distance, men and women alike stared at Chu Hao, green with envy. They were astonished that such a luxurious car belonged to someone so young.

The men, especially those attending the banquet tonight—many of whom were prominent figures in Anli City’s business world—couldn’t help but feel jealous and admire the car Chu Hao drove. Even with an annual salary of a million, they couldn’t afford even a single wheel of such a vehicle.

"That guy is so handsome."

"Hehe... You’re just into his car, aren’t you?"

"Handsome and wealthy—he’s totally my type!"

Saying this, a fashionably dressed girl walked over. She was very pretty, with light makeup.

The girl, intending to strike up a conversation, put on what she thought was her most attractive smile and said, "Handsome, are you also here for the banquet?"

Chu Hao nodded, making himself look even more aloof. When showing off, one must have style, he thought.

The girl blushed. "Could I get your WeChat?"

"No," Chu Hao replied coldly.

This fashionable girl wasn’t angry; on the contrary, she felt that someone who drove a car like Chu Hao’s should naturally be aloof and cool. A man like that is truly handsome. In any case, a man who drives such a luxury car is handsome no matter what he does.

The girl said, her voice a little softer, "But, I just wanted to get to know you."

Chu Hao glanced at her sideways. "I have no interest in getting to know you."

"Ding... Host has shown off aloofness, received 500 Pretentiousness Points."

Impressive! Being cool and aloof also counts as showing off! Chu Hao felt like he’d discovered a new skill.

People in the distance, hearing Chu Hao’s cold words, couldn’t help but click their tongues in amazement. The girl’s looks were at least a seven out of ten, yet Chu Hao had bluntly rejected her.
