Allen lay on the ground.

He felt as if his throat were scorched by a burning object, extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, Xiao Li suddenly charged over, grabbing Allen's collar and roaring, "Goddammit, give me back my teeth! My teeth were all knocked out, how am I supposed to eat now? Didn't you say you'd cover everything? How come you're not covering now? I placed all my trust in you, helped you cheat, and what now? My teeth are gone! I should've never taken your two hundred yuan!"

Everyone almost burst into laughter.

They all knew they had used tricks and foul play; otherwise, Allen could never have reached a value of 999 pounds no matter how hard he tried.

According to Allen's plan, as long as he scored the value of 999, and then provoked Xu Hao enough to keep him from retesting, Allen felt assured of his victory.

After all, if Xu Hao got the same score, which was also a value of 999, he would actually lose. Xu Hao would need to exceed 999 to win.

If you're not on *, you're viewing a copy.

However, the display monitor's highest possible reading was only 999!

Sadly, even though Allen had scored a value of 999 pounds, so what?

Xu Hao had completely smashed the testing device!

So now, for Xiao Li to openly burst out with their prior arrangement, it only seemed more ludicrous.

Furthermore, losing his entire set of teeth for a mere two hundred yuan made the entire situation even more laughable.

Allen turned his head and glanced at him, pointing to his own mouth and throat, signaling that his throat was almost destroyed and he couldn't speak, that his own mouth was hardly better off than Xiao Li's.

But Xiao Li didn't care about any of that, he kept a death grip on Allen's collar, as if intending to choke the life out of him, until the security guards from the nearby neighborhood arrived, thoroughly separating them and the staff from the fitness center took them all to the hospital.

Lying on the hospital bed, Allen became increasingly frustrated and uncomfortable the more he thought about it, so he told everything that had happened there to one of his girlfriends, the Third Miss Zhang of the Zhang family, Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu was average-looking, promiscuous by nature, and had a rather bad reputation, thus her status in her family wasn't very high.

When she heard that Allen had been beaten up, she was instantly furious.

Fearing that Zhang Yu wouldn't seek revenge for him because of Xu Hao's infamous reputation, Allen deliberately obscured Xu Hao's name. Given Zhang Yu's intellect, she naturally failed to sense Allen's intentional concealment of the "culprit's" identity.

Moreover, Allen thought that even if Zhang Yu's attempt at revenge failed and she wanted to trouble him, he could just claim ignorance of Xu Hao's identity and deny knowing that the person was Xu Hao.

It must be said, Allen had played the illustrious Third Miss Zhang like a fiddle, twisting her around his finger, making her wholeheartedly serve him.

Upon hearing about the incident, Zhang Yu immediately declared that she would book all the restaurants around The Eighth Elementary School, to leave them without lunch to eat.

There were only a few reputable restaurants around The Eighth Elementary School to begin with, and for the mighty Third Miss Zhang, this was nothing at all.

Once she showed her identity from the Zhang family, who would dare not give her face?

...

Hai Tian Hotel.

When Xu Hao and his group arrived at the hotel Director Zhou had reserved, they were informed by the receptionist that the entire hotel had already been booked.

Director Zhou became somewhat angry and said, "I distinctly made an early reservation, so why has the entire hotel been booked by someone else? Shouldn't you at least notify us? Moreover, by doing this, where are you placing the rights of us consumers?"

The receptionist apologized, "Sir, I'm sorry, we truly have no control over this. Just now, the manager came and told us the whole hotel was booked, and there's nothing we could do."

Director Zhou internally bemoaned his fate, as he had gone through all the trouble to invite Xu Hao for a meal, only to encounter such a frustrating situation.

Xu Hao said indifferently, "Just now it was booked? Interesting, call over your manager."

A flicker of light passed through his eyes, as if he had discovered something amusing.

Xiao Lan, seeing Xu Hao like this, instantly realized that someone was in for big trouble, and it had to be someone important, or else they would not have caught Xu Hao's interest.

Seeing Xu Hao was preparing to act, Director Zhou quickly said, "Young Master Xu, I... I am truly sorry, I had no idea such unpleasant events would happen one after another today, preventing you from even enjoying a meal in peace."

Xu Hao smiled and replied, "It doesn't matter, perhaps I should thank you. I was just worrying about not having a good reason to cause trouble at their family home, and now a perfect reason has been delivered right to me."

"Ah? You mean..." Director Zhou's heart pounded with anxiety. He wasn't clear on which power Xu Hao was referring to, but he understood that he had been swept into the vortex of Xu Hao's struggle with other forces.

Even now, trying to extricate himself seemed difficult.
