"Hao... Young Master Hao?!" Yu Hu's words made Cheng Ting's face stiffen, and Secretary Zhong beside him, his chubby face trembled fiercely, eyes revealing fear. "He... he's Young Master Hao?!" Zhao Wei's mouth was dry as he looked at Hao Jian, who was slowly approaching, his face filled with terror. When it comes to those who mix in the underworld of Hua City, especially those high-ranking figures, they all more or less have a little notebook. This little book records various people in Hua City who must not be messed with. The figures in these books are based on the strength of their respective powers; for example, someone might be absolutely untouchable in a small power. But when it comes to a big power's book, that person might be removed, because compared to those big powers, that person is not that strong. In all the books, regardless of inclusion, everyone acknowledges an absolute presence, a person who absolutely must not be angered. This person is Hao Jian, the Overlord of Hua City! He ranks number one among all the people in Hua City's underworld who absolutely must not be messed with! As long as Hao Jian hasn't left Hua City, or hasn't abandoned Hua City, this name will likely remain in the books of these powers. "You're not lying to me?!" Cheng Ting looked at Yu Hu with a pale face, his original anger dissipating, yet he still struggled to believe he had provoked the overlord of Hua City. But observing his prowess, he had to accept this undeniable truth. After all, in the entirety of Hua City, besides Hao Jian's renowned name, his strength is absolutely intimidating, and rumors even speak of how no one throughout Huaxia could defeat Hao Jian. At least not without resorting to heavy weaponry. "No... No... Absolutely not!" At this time, Yu Hu gradually regained his composure, looking at Cheng Ting with utmost seriousness, and said, "Boss, I dare to confirm, this person is definitely Young Master Hao!" "During the last time you sent me to assist someone, I had already seen Young Master Hao. It's just that the time had passed so long ago that I forgot, only now did I recall..." Upon hearing this, Cheng Ting's face grew even paler—if this person truly was Hao Jian, then his boxing gym was certainly done for! In the entirety of Hua City, no one could dare to lay hands on Hao Jian. Anyone who tried would either be forced to leave Hua City or become crippled. Neither choice was one Cheng Ting wanted to make. He had vast connections and enterprises here in Hua City. Leaving them to move to unfamiliar territories would leave him utterly lost. As for the second choice, it was even less a possibility—not to mention becoming crippled! With his hands and feet intact, he might still carve out a domain, but becoming disabled would be a crushing blow! Instantly, Cheng Ting's face altered. As Hao Jian had made it halfway across the room, Cheng Ting leapt forward, with a grieving expression, quickly ran before Hao Jian, and fiercely knelt a meter away! Seeing Cheng Ting's unwavering speed, fearing delay by even a second, Yu Hu and others were momentarily stunned. Then, realizing the situation, they too dashed towards Hao Jian, swiftly arriving behind Cheng Ting, kneeling directly as well. "Young Master Hao..." Their bodies trembling, the three called out to Hao Jian, reaching such a status—they clearly comprehended Hao Jian's identity, a presence even their boss was terrified of! "Your awareness is quite impressive." Standing still, Hao Jian looked at the four, his mouth curling into a cold smile, his eyes glancing around, noticing the spectators, one by one like mice before cats, dared not to move. You see, Hao Jian shook his head slightly. He had intended to keep his identity concealed, but now, thanks to these shouting fools, the entire boxing gym knew who he was. To his relief, Lin Qingxue and the others seemingly disregarded the surrounding situation, instead focusing their worried eyes on Hao Jian. Especially Lin Qingxue, amid the myriad of gazes, Hao Jian could distinctly feel her eyes upon him, revealing concern within them. "Young Master Hao... I... It's me... It was my eyes that failed to recognize, I beg you, spare me!" Upon hearing Hao Jian's cold laughter, Cheng Ting trembled all over, his lips quivered, face paling further, for standing before him was the overlord of Hua City—a single misstep could result in his death. In the past, it had always been him disciplining others, but the disciplining role switched to Hao Jian, while Cheng Ting became the one meant to fear. Hao Jian continued with his cold smile. "Yes, yes, we beg your forgiveness, please spare us!" Zhao Wei hurriedly interjected, though resentment lingered in his heart, he dared not reveal any of it. After all, standing before him was Hua City's overlord—Hao Jian! Only now did he fully comprehend why Lin Qingxue had always rejected him, yet accepted Hao Jian, who seemed to lack notable achievements, simply because he was the overlord of Hua City! Just these few words can reflect Hao Jian's strength. In any aspect, Zhao Wei could never compare to Hao Jian, unless he could, like Hao Jian, achieve the status of Overlord of Hua City. But with his abilities, he could at most reach Cheng Ting's position. To reach that pinnacle, he might not have the chance in his entire life. Hearing Zhao Wei speak, Hao Jian's eyes suddenly narrowed into a line, looking at Zhao Wei with a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "I don't like what you said, and correspondingly, I don't like you as a person." Hao Jian's voice, though cold, yet plain, slowly echoed around, and Zhao Wei's initially expectant expression gradually stiffened, and then turned into a look of panic. Hao Jian's words seemed to prompt Cheng Ting to speak, and he suddenly turned his head, glaring at Zhao Wei, shouting: "Zhao Wei, did you do something to betray Young Master Hao?!" Zhao Wei was startled by Cheng Ting's yelling. Facing his boss's angry eyes, his gaze flickered slightly, knowing that in front of him was a golden opportunity. He definitely couldn't say he pursued Hao Jian's woman, right? If that came out, Zhao Wei wouldn't be able to stay in all of Hua City. To dare pursue the woman of the Overlord of Hua City, he must be extremely foolish to do such a thing! In Hua City, anything related to Hao Jian becomes unusual. Just like now, if Cheng Ting and his people didn't know Hao Jian's identity, perhaps they would still be furious and call everyone over to gang up on Hao Jian. But once they knew Hao Jian's identity, the fear and reverence that should have been there suddenly burst forth. Hao Jian sneered coldly and couldn't be bothered to say anything more to Zhao Wei. Instead, he looked at Cheng Ting with a calm tone: "I can choose to forgive today's incident..." Upon hearing Hao Jian's words, Cheng Ting's eyes brightened immediately. As long as Hao Jian forgave him, everything would be fine! He wouldn't need to bow his head in plea anymore. With a cold glance at Cheng Ting, Hao Jian suddenly pointed his finger at Zhao Wei. Seeing Zhao Wei's shocked expression, he slowly said: "It's not a big demand. I just hope you can take care of this guy for me. I don't care how you do it, just take care of him." "Of course, when I say take care of, I absolutely do not mean clean it up, but to cripple him!" Touching his chin, as if talking about something ordinary: "You'd better cripple him for me, I don't want any other result. After you cripple him, just inform Spice Ginger." Looking at Hao Jian pointing at him, Zhao Wei initially thought it was something else, but the moment he realized, his face turned deathly pale. Hao Jian intended to ruin him completely! "Ha... Young Master Hao!" Right then, Zhao Wei crawled past his boss and threw himself before Hao Jian, crying and pleading, but Hao Jian showed no interest in Zhao Wei's pleas. Instead, he directed his impatience at Cheng Ting: "He's your man, you handle it, and I'm in a hurry!" Upon hearing this, Cheng Ting's face turned pale. After all, Zhao Wei was one of the fighters from their gym and the champion of the current underground fight tournament in Hua City. If he were crippled, Cheng Ting's reputation would take a serious hit. Yet now, it was Hao Jian who demanded this of him, so Cheng Ting had no choice but to comply, gritting his teeth as he looked at Zhao Wei, ready to abandon this subordinate. "Yu Hu, take ten brothers with you and break Zhao Wei's arms!" Upon hearing this, Yu Hu was slightly stunned but then immediately responded with a shout: "Yes, boss!" "Since you're determined, I'll leave as I'm in a hurry. Just inform Spice Ginger about the result later." Giving Cheng Ting a glance, Hao Jian then left under Cheng Ting's respectful gaze. Watching Hao Jian's departing figure, Cheng Ting's expression was ugly beyond compare. Looking at Zhao Wei, he said: "Do you want to cripple yourself, or should we help you with it?" This subordinate, no matter how much achievement he had or how much benefit he could bring, Cheng Ting didn't care anymore. After all, it was an order from Hao Jian, and in Hua City, no one could defy it. Zhao Wei's face was pale without a trace of blood. When Hao Jian's attitude became clear, he understood the outcome. He thought about struggling desperately, but Hao Jian didn't even give him that chance, directly ordering Cheng Ting to take action against him. "I understand..."
