Zhao Zhenhao and the others’ eyes nearly popped out when they heard the number!
Brother Hao was seriously awesome, those were Miss Ice Princess’s concert tickets! Something people would crack their heads open trying to get, and here he was, casually handing out twenty of them! Damn impressive!
"Indeed, our Miss Ice Princess is the best!" Wang Hao promptly accepted the tickets and kissed them with a smack, "Mwah!"
After the meal and breaking the Evil Qi, naturally, everyone was supposed to go home and do their own thing, but just when Wang Hao was about to hang out with Ice Princess, Bill Bragg spoke up.
"Wang... Brother Hao... Boss!" Bill Bragg quickly switched his address, "Boss, what are you planning next? I’m really feeling insecure. Can I hang out with you?"
The befuddled crowd who hadn’t caught up yet: "..."
Zhao Zhenhao and the others’ eyes nearly bugged out!
This Bill Bragg was really making himself at home!
Damn it, you’re supposed to be the master of imposingness! And now you’re already calling Wang Hao "Boss"?
*Ahem,* Wang Hao nearly choked on Bill Bragg’s comment, saying, "You’re the sole heir of the Brage family, aren’t you? Can’t you show a bit of backbone? Can’t you stop being so timid?!"
"I can’t help it!" Bill Bragg looked equally frustrated, "Think about it, Boss. You said I’d have bad luck today and might face a blood disaster, and look, I almost got killed by a steel pipe! You said the Heart of the Ocean has Evil Qi, and indeed, after you absorbed the Evil Qi, the gem’s color changed! You’re a real master! I’m scared! What if something really happens? How would my grandma live on?!"
"Eh? Your grandma?" Wang Hao perked up immediately, sensing some gossip, and hurriedly asked, "What about her?"
"I’m an only child," Bill Bragg sighed, "Growing up, my parents were always busy with their careers, and I lived with my grandmother. I’m not afraid of much, just death! Think about it, our Brage family is one of the top families in the United States, and I’m the only heir. Who knows how many people outside might want me dead? If I really die, our family will definitely be unstable! Not to mention, what about my grandma? She is almost eighty this year. If she gets a shock, wouldn’t she just drop dead? So Boss, please, take me under your wing. If there’s any danger, just give me a heads up. I’d be incredibly grateful!"
Alright, Wang Hao suddenly understood.
This guy made sense, having grown up in a place like the United States where everyone is armed, he was always very security-conscious.
But now his fear was of a disaster from the skies! In the past, having bodyguards around might have given him some peace of mind, but he really couldn’t handle this metaphysical stuff!
As the saying goes, everyone fears death, so his worries made sense.
"Well..." Wang Hao rubbed his chin, "Alright, but let me make it clear first, I’m not your nanny, don’t expect me to sort out everything for you!"
"Understood, got it!" Hearing Wang Hao agree, Bill Bragg was overjoyed and immediately snapped to attention with a proper salute, then raised his right fist to his left chest and declared, "I, Bill Bragg, the sixteenth heir to the Brage family, once again proclaim Wang Hao as my boss. Whatever orders the boss may give, I shall carry them out to the best of my ability without any delay!"
The still confused crowd: "..."
Zhao Zhenhao and others just stared in disbelief!
Damn, the sole heir of the Brage family was truly acknowledging Wang Hao as his boss!
Brother Hao was too cool!
Wang Hao was a bit baffled too.
Does this mean he’s pledging loyalty to me?
Can I start planning to conquer the world now?
"Aw, look at you," Wang Hao felt fantastic inside, hahaha! The legendary imposing master! The heir to the Brage family recognizing me as the big brother! Of course, he still had to keep up appearances: "Let’s not be so formal among us—come on, call me ’Boss’ and let me hear it!"
This old guy really has thick skin!
"Boss!" Bill Bragg performed a very formal knight’s salute and said respectfully, "Please look after me from now on!"
"Okay, good!" Wang Hao nodded with satisfaction, then patted Bill Bragg on the shoulder and said with a laugh, "Don’t worry— I can’t promise much, but I will definitely ensure your safety!"
In our Great Heavenly Country, except for Brother Dice, no one else really poses a threat to Bill Bragg!
Bill Bragg looked immensely grateful: "Thank you, Boss!"
"Alright, enough, I can’t stand watching this anymore," Bai Yaning, completely speechless, noticed how quickly a rival turned into a subordinate; Wang Hao really had skills, "Enough about your skills. Let’s go. We’ve eaten, and I need to hurry back. The concert is tomorrow night, and I need to prepare."
Sure, that’s important and can’t be delayed, Wang Hao immediately nodded, "I’ll drive you back. Otherwise, you don’t have a car."
So, the group headed out.
As soon as they exited the private room door, Bill Bragg’s bodyguards surrounded them, and Bill Bragg began instructing them—
"Listen up!" Bill Bragg pointed at Wang Hao and said, "This guy is now my boss. Whatever he says goes as if I said it myself. Whatever he tells you to do, you do. Got it?!"
The bodyguards were utterly baffled!
What was going on? During dinner, wasn’t this guy considered a rival by the young master, and now suddenly he’s a subordinate?!
"Uh, young master," the chief bodyguard was completely confused, "Are you sure you’re not joking?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Bill Bragg kicked him, "What I say goes, got it?"
"Understood! Understood!" the chief bodyguard quickly clarified his position, "Greetings to the young master and boss!"
All the bodyguards: "Greetings to the young master and boss!"
Ah, how embarrassing is this...
I’m just that awesome!
"Hello everyone, hello," Wang Hao waved cheerfully, "I wish you all peace and a long life haha!"
The bodyguards nodded in unison: "Thanks to the young master and boss!"
Time to get in the car and go!
The group made their way to the parking lot, and as Wang Hao was about to get the car with Bai Yaning, Bill Bragg, ever the gentleman, helped Wang Hao open the car door: "Please, Boss!" then settled into the back seat very naturally, looking utterly well-behaved.
Man, kid, aren’t you a bit too eager sitting there, don’t you think it’s a bit too bright?!
