The people following Xu Hao felt incredibly fortunate at this moment.

Luckily, they stood on Xu Hao's side. Otherwise, going against him would mean facing a crushing defeat in the presence of his overwhelming power. They, as ordinary people, would simply be crushed!

Nobody willingly wants to be crushed, but in the face of insurmountable power disparities, all resentment becomes just a joke.

Xu Hao gave a slight smile and said, "What's wrong? Weren't you having a heated discussion just now? Why did you go silent as soon as I arrived? Do you think I'm not worthy of hearing what you have to say?"

Mr. Li cursed inwardly, deeply displeased by Xu Hao's initial grandstanding. Yet, he didn't dare to retort, especially since the Mao Family had yet to arrive. He needed their presence before he could confront Xu Hao directly; otherwise, he might not even know how he would meet his end.

However, faced with Xu Hao's questioning, he did not dare to play deaf and dumb, so he said, "Young Master Xu, we were just discussing trivial matters. With your noble status, discussing such trivialities with us might lower your standing."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of lowering my status. Besides, we're all humans; who cares about status? Everyone is born equal! If you insist on saying my status is noble, then I feel like you're flattering me to death. That makes me quite uncomfortable, and when I'm uncomfortable, I tend to take action."

You're really a dog!

Although sometimes what I do is inhumane, you truly are a dog!

Li Dehong cursed inwardly again, never having seen someone so shameless. Clearly, he had already humbled himself, yet Xu Hao continued to press, leaving him no way out!

Seeing Li Dehong's demeanor, those on Xu Hao's side secretly rejoiced. Li Dehong, usually arrogant and domineering, facing some humiliation now, was actually quite satisfying. Only Xu Hao could push him to such an extent.

At this moment, Li Dehong still did not dare to show anger.

As long as the Mao Family did not arrive, he did not dare to confront Xu Hao. Otherwise, Xu Hao could straightforwardly use it as an excuse to kill him!

This was an obvious matter. Xu Hao needed only an excuse to kill him, and whether or not Li Dehong would provide it was up to him.

Feeling extremely aggrieved, Li Dehong said helplessly, "Young Master Xu, I'm wrong. You are truly a strong man and a truly broad-minded person. It was us who used the heart of a petty person to judge the belly of a gentleman. I sincerely apologize; please don't hold it against us!"

Li Dehong had no choice but to humbly beg for forgiveness.

There's no way around it; people under the eaves have no choice but to bow their heads. At this moment, he still did not dare to contend with Xu Hao.

Xu Hao smiled, pulling Chu Xiaoxiao to the main seat at the front, and sat down. Chu Xiaoxiao obediently sat in his embrace.

At this moment, Xu Hao was manifestly the epitome of a spoiled noble scion.

However, no one truly believed that.

Xu Hao achieved his current status entirely through his own battle-hardened efforts!

Xu Hao laughed and said, "Mr. Li is overthinking. You have the Mao Family backing you, so how could I dare to go against you directly? That is the Mao Family, after all, I'm really terrified!"

Everyone rolled their eyes.

Who doesn't know that you've made Mao Jinxi, the Third Young Master of the Mao Family, suffer two major setbacks?

You also failed Mao Yisheng, the eldest young master of the Mao Family, taking a company from his mouth in an auction?!

Is this how you show fear of the Mao Family?

Who believes that!

However, everyone dared not voice these thoughts.

Li Dehong chuckled dryly and quickly shifted the topic, saying, "Young Master Xu, since you came to Hong niwan Town, I should extend hospitality to you as the host here. How about starting tomorrow, I accompany you to have some fun here? Although Hong niwan Town has a scenic spot that's not well-known nationally, the scenery is quite good. It's just not famous because it lacks renowned historical sites..."

Xu Hao interrupted Li Dehong, smiling faintly and said, "You say you're the host? Does this mean Hong niwan Town is your territory? Then what role do Han's Real Estate, Han Zhiyuan, and the Han Family play here?"

Xu Hao's words were soul-searching questions, leaving Li Dehong speechless.

The words Li Dehong said earlier were merely normal rhetoric, seeming reasonable at first glance.

However, he forgot that the real host of Hong niwan Town was Han Zhiyuan, not him, Li Dehong!

Had he said these words when Han Zhiyuan was not around, it might have been fine, but now with Han Zhiyuan present, it was as if he had directly slapped him in the face.

Upon hearing Xu Hao's words, Han Zhiyuan immediately reacted, coldly saying, "Li Dehong, those words were a bit excessive, don't you think? Since when did Hong niwan Town become your Li Family's?"
