Xu Hao looked at them coldly and said, "Hello everyone!"

The mercenaries exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Appearing before them was none other than Xu Hao!

Each of them knew very well that Xu Hao's strength was far beyond their capability to contend with.

The older mercenary said with a mix of fear and surprise, "You... how did you end up here? Shouldn't you be very busy? This little issue doesn't require your personal attention, does it?"

Xu Hao replied with a faint smile, "What? Surprised? When my own company is in trouble, why can't I take care of it myself? Was there a rule dictating that somewhere?"

Everyone shook their heads.

At this time, the transport trucks also came to a stop one after another. This chapter is from the collection at *.

It was natural that they couldn't have received an advance notice from Liu Ruyan, since in order to ensure Xu Hao's actions were absolutely secret, Liu Ruyan wouldn't have possibly informed them ahead of time.

However, they were employees of the Xu Liu Group, and even though they were just transportation drivers, they recognized Xu Hao.

Therefore, when they saw that the chairman himself had come to deal with the issue, they were instantly overjoyed and stopped their vehicles as well.

The extent of Xu Hao's power was something they had heard of far and wide; now that they had suddenly encountered Xu Hao, how could they not be happy?

At the same time, many felt a warmth in their hearts.

This route had been troubled, which resulted in many drivers being reluctant to take transport jobs on it.

Liu Ruyan had ordered the transportation fees to be quintupled. Only then did these ten people agree to drive.

Five times the fee was enough for them to take the risk, because they were compelled by their livelihoods to gamble.

But they all knew that this was a gamble.

They were betting that no issues would arise tonight.

If problems did occur, although the company promised to cover all medical expenses and to pay normal wages, how could their normal salaries be comparable to the fees for transportation?

So, if no problems emerged tonight, then they would have made a fortune.

One might even say they were gambling with their lives.

However, now they saw that the chairman had personally arrived!

Xu Hao said in a cold voice, "Tell me now, who sent you here?"

The older mercenary, who was their leader, snorted, "How can we mercenaries reveal information about our employers? Xu Hao, you can act recklessly for a while, but who knows, in the next moment, you might lose your life!"

Xu Hao replied coldly, "What? Do you think just because of those few mastery level experts hiding in the dark, you can do something to me?"

"You actually discovered them!" the older mercenary exclaimed in shock.

How could this be possible? How could Xu Hao have discovered them, when they were all highly skilled assassins adept at hiding?

Xu Hao gestured toward a spot not far away and said, "Come on out, did you really think I wouldn't notice you?"

"Humph! Huaya indeed is a mystical place, and its masters are equally extraordinary. You are the first person to detect our Invisibility Technique at night." Accompanied by a voice akin to a duck's quack, three individuals dressed in black slowly emerged as if from thin air.

When they witnessed this spectacle, many were deeply shaken.

How did they accomplish this?

It was as though they walked right out of the air, with absolutely no cover around their bodies!

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Suddenly, Xu Hao began to applaud and said, "Not bad, the three of you may only be at the late stage of Mastery, but you've cultivated the 'Light Invisibility Technique' to such a level, quite impressive indeed."

Xu Hao, of course, recognized this Invisibility Technique, which was developed by using various optical phenomena like reflection and refraction of light.

Although it seemed very modern, this technique had existed for at least a thousand years.

"You are quite impressive as well, to be able to see through our invisibility," the leader said in a cold voice. He spoke in Burmese, but his speech was slow and his pronunciation incorrect; and by his looks and features, he did not seem to be Burmese.

Xu Hao calmly asked, "Where are you from?"

The man snorted, "Where we are from is none of your business. Either way, you are bound to die tonight!"

Xu Hao calmly said, "The Invisibility Technique that you rely on for survival has already been seen through by me. How do you plan to fight me? With your cunning schemes?"

"What do you mean by that?" the leader immediately asked.

Xu Hao looked up at the big tree where Zhao Yanhong was hiding and said coldly, "Let me warn you in advance, the one thinking of seizing the opportunity to take Zhao Yanhong hostage and then force me into submission, be careful that you might die before you lay a hand on her."

The three men looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.

Xu Hao had actually detected their comrade's presence!

That individual was at the Half Step Grandmaster stage, and his Invisibility Technique was even more powerful than theirs; he could become invisible even in broad daylight, standing in front of ordinary people without being seen!
