The crowd gasped. The force was terrifying; he’d actually shattered the loader’s thick glass.
"DING... Host successful, gained 10 Pretentiousness Points."
Chu Hao strode towards the manager, his face fierce. "You hit me, and now you still want to demolish? If I don’t teach you a lesson, do you really think you’re some Heavenly King?"
The manager jumped in fright. "What do you want to do? Security, stop him!"
A group of a dozen security guards appeared, each holding a rubber truncheon. They stared malevolently at Chu Hao, as if ready to beat him to death with a flurry of blows if he took another step.
"Kid, this has nothing to do with you. Better scram," a security captain said.
Chu Hao shouted angrily, "Scram? Go to hell!"
He kicked out, sending the security captain flying. The terrifying force launched the man four or five meters away, and he couldn’t even get up.
The others were shocked.
"HOLY SHIT!!" The manager was also startled.
"DING... Host successful in showing off, gained 10 Pretentiousness Points."
Chu Hao himself was surprised. He had used his full strength in that kick, yet he’d managed to send someone flying four or five meters. It was unbelievable.
He felt exhilarated. This was the powerful physique bestowed by the Cleansing Marrow Scripture; it was simply incredible! From now on, he wouldn’t have to worry about fights anymore.
Chu Hao said coldly, "You trash. Even if a hundred more of you showed up, I could still handle you."
The demolition crew manager, furious, yelled, "Don’t get cocky, kid! Everyone, get him! Whoever takes him down gets their salary tripled this month!"
Hearing "triple salary," everyone’s eyes lit up with excitement.
But Chu Hao was too formidable. Another punch. CRACK! The man’s sternum fractured, and he flew backward, spitting blood.
Chu Hao moved like a whirlwind, each strike felling a man. Soon, all the security guards were lying on the ground, groaning in agony.
Ya Xiao and the onlookers were all stunned.
Ya Xiao, in particular, couldn’t believe this was Chu Hao. After a whole year, she hadn’t realized he possessed such skills.
With fallen men all around him, Chu Hao bellowed, "Who else?! You, baldie! Come here. If you don’t, I’m coming for you!"
Cold sweat trickled down the bald manager’s forehead as he roared, "Retreat!!"
Chu Hao dashed forward like an arrow. No one could stop him. He slapped the manager across the head, and the man crumpled to the ground, his face filled with terror.
"Hit someone and think you can just walk away? You think it’s that easy?" Chu Hao said fiercely.
The bald manager was scared witless. His voice trembled as he stammered, "You!... What do you want? This is a lawful society! Don’t resort to violence!"
"Lawful? When you hit me, why didn’t you talk about the law then?" Another slap. It twisted the manager’s face out of shape.
"You! You!!" The manager was trembling with fear.
Chu Hao said coldly, "Kneel and apologize."
The manager was sensible enough to understand that if he didn’t apologize, Chu Hao might very well beat him to death. There was no one here who could stop him.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry," the manager knelt and kept repeating.
The others were shocked into silence.
"DING... Host successful in showing off, gained 10 Pretentiousness Points."
Chu Hao grabbed the manager by the collar. "Remember this: we common folk aren’t to be trifled with. If I see you again, you’ll end up stone."
He picked up a stone and squeezed. It shattered in his hand.
That wasn’t an egg or tofu, but a real stone! He actually crushed it! What kind of monster is he?
"DING... Host successful in showing off, gained 10 Pretentiousness Points."
As the demolition crew retreated, the crowd erupted in cheers.
"We actually have a God in our old district; how did I never notice before?"
"Amazing! He got hit by a loader and he’s still alive!"
"Haha... Thanks to him! He’s so awesome!"
Chu Hao was surrounded by people, all showering him with praise. If it weren’t for him today, things could have gotten really dangerous.
"Chu Hao, are you alright?" Ya Xiao came over, looking him up and down, amazed.
Chu Hao said, "It’s no big deal. Even if a thousand more came, I’d still knock them all down."
Honestly, getting hit by the loader did hurt, but saving the little girl was worth it.
Ya Xiao’s eyes were red and slightly moist. She said, "You’re just showing off. Come home with me; I’ll put some medicine on for you."
"Really, it’s not necessary," Chu Hao said.
Ya Xiao smacked his head. "Hurry up."
The demolition crew retreated. The bald manager picked up his phone and called his boss.
The bald manager said miserably, "Young Master Wu, the demolition failed. Some monster showed up and beat up all our security guards."
In a high-class restaurant, a young man in a suit and tie frowned, swirling the red wine in his glass. "What are you lot good for? Aren’t those security guards all ex-soldiers? How could they not even handle one person?"
The bald manager replied, "It couldn’t be helped. That guy was seriously tough. He got hit by a loader and still got up!"
Wu Shao almost spat out his wine.
Wu Shao snorted. "Since my old man entrusted this to me, I have to do it perfectly. Find someone else. Money isn’t an issue. I’ll give you seven days. That old district must be demolished."
Back at the small building, Ya Xiao dragged Chu Hao into her apartment.
Ya Xiao’s apartment was cozy, with pink wallpaper and many plush toys, giving it a dreamy atmosphere.
Ya Xiao told him to take off his shirt.
"Ya Xiao, there’s no need. I’m really not hurt."
Ya Xiao put her hands on her hips, her face stern. "Are you going to take it off or not?"
Chu Hao reluctantly removed his shirt, revealing his well-built, muscular physique.
Ya Xiao blushed. She patted Chu Hao’s biceps admiringly. "Wow! I had no idea you were actually so built... With abs like these, you’re not secretly a gigolo, are you?"
Chu Hao nearly choked. What does she mean, ’gigolo’? She’d better explain herself!
Turning him around, Ya Xiao was astonished; there wasn’t a single mark where Chu Hao had been hit.
"How are you completely unhurt?!" Ya Xiao exclaimed, a strange look on her face.
Chu Hao chuckled. "For a handsome guy like me, what’s a loader? Even a tank couldn’t do anything to me!"
Ya Xiao rolled her eyes. "You think you’re Superman or something? Fine... if you’re really okay, then hurry home."
Chu Hao dressed and was about to leave when he suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! I was in such a hurry when I came out, I forgot my keys."
Ya Xiao said, exasperated, "Now what? I don’t have a spare key here either."
Chu Hao said, "In that case, I might as well just sleep at your place tonight."
Ya Xiao crossed her arms and chuckled playfully. "Alright then. You can sleep with me tonight."
Chu Hao gulped. Ya Xiao had an exceptionally well-maintained figure, curvy in all the right places. She looked particularly alluring tonight in her white T-shirt.
Chu Hao said, "Then I’ll take you up on that offer, Ya Xiao."
Ya Xiao chuckled, her voice laced with charm. "You little charmer. Wait for me to take a bath."
A bath! Then... does that mean...
Chu Hao, his face flushed with excitement, sat on the sofa, his mouth suddenly dry as he waited eagerly.
He prided himself on having ’studied’ countless videos; he considered himself a bit of an aficionado, after all.
