After hearing the security report, Xu Hao raised his eyebrows.

Then he motioned to his subordinates to stay where they were, and took long strides alone, heading straight towards the booth where the chaos occurred.

Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, Xu Hao shouted loudly:

"Damn it, who is this guy who wants to trouble me on purpose?"

When those drunkards saw Xu Hao approaching, instead of restraining themselves, they became even more arrogant.

One of the guys was holding an empty wine bottle in his hand. He was probably drunk on alcohol. He cursed Xu Hao as he approached:

"Who the hell are you? Dare to meddle in my business? Get out of here!"

As he spoke, he swung up the beer bottle, threw it out, and hit Xu Hao on the head!

"Ah--"

There was an uncontrollable exclamation all around.

However, Xu Hao's response was surprisingly fast.

He didn't even pause in his steps, he just tilted his shoulders slightly at the moment when the bottle was about to come.

"Bang!"

A crisp explosion sounded, and Glass fragments flew everywhere!

The flying wine bottle did not hit his head, nor did it hit the ground or injure anyone else.

But in mid-air, Xu Hao reached out to grab it, and then Exert Force's five fingers were crushed by him on the spot!

Glass The crumbs mixed with the remaining wine splashed, and a few sharp fragments even pricked his palm, causing a little blood to ooze out.

However, Xu Hao didn't even frown, as if the bleeding hand didn't belong to him at all.

He even grinned, showing a ferocious smile, and looked straight at the drunkard who made the move.

"Yes."

Xu Hao said in a low voice.

The next second, before the drunk man could react, he took action like lightning!

He didn't use any complicated moves at all, he just simply and roughly raised the right hand that had just crushed the wine bottle and was still stained with Glass debris and his own blood.

A backhand slap, with the force of breaking wind, hit the drunk man's face hard.

Snap!!!

This slap was extremely clear, even in the noisy music background of Bar, it seemed particularly loud, and even had a little echo.

The tall and strong drunkard was struck by the fierce slap and spun half a circle like a top. Then his center of gravity became unstable and he stumbled backwards.

There was a crash, and then the table behind him was knocked over, and the wine glasses and plates were shattered on the floor.

The drunk man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which was also mixed with a few knocked-out teeth. He couldn't even hum, so he tilted his head and fainted completely.

When several of his companions witnessed this scene, they were so frightened that they almost woke up from alcohol. They all stood there blankly, not even daring to take a breath.

Looking at the drunk man who was knocked over, half of his cheek was bloody, swollen and deformed, and he looked extremely miserable.

Xu Hao flicked his wrist, as if he had just swatted a fly to death.

He gently kicked the unconscious drunk man on the ground with his toes, then spat at his companions who were scaring Stunned, and cursed in disgust:

"Those with no eyes! Drag them all out and throw them to Back Alley!"

Seeing that the boss had finished showing off, a group of younger brothers rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and carried the unconscious drunkard out on the ground together with his several companions whose legs were already weak.

Other security guards and waiters were also busy cleaning the scene.

Xu Hao calmly adjusted his Floral Shirt collar as if nothing had happened.

He even took the time to give a reassuring smile to the waitress who was bullied earlier.

Then his eyes were like lightning, with a warning, and he slowly glanced around the silent guests.

Seeing everyone's fearful reactions, he nodded with satisfaction.

Then he turned around, and with the support of the remaining boys, he strode towards the stairs leading to the Second Floor VIP area.

In the corner, Fang Cheng took in all this, his eyes slightly focused.

Xu Hao's Physical Quality is indeed much stronger than ordinary gangsters.

No, to be precise, it has gone beyond the scope of normal human beings, and is more like an alienated power.

It seems that the last time he competed in the Club arena, the opponent, like himself, did not use his full strength.

Or perhaps, he has made new breakthroughs in recent times and has become a lot stronger.

Seeing Xu Hao go upstairs, Fang Cheng put down Orange Juice in his hand and prepared to get up and follow him, looking for an opportunity to get closer to the target.

However, just as he leaned forward slightly and was about to leave his seat, he caught a hint of movement out of the corner of his eye.

Fang Cheng's heart moved, and his eyes quickly glanced at the other two inconspicuous corner booths.

Almost at the same time, two people also stood up.

They were wearing ordinary jackets, and their appearance was not eye-catching, but their eyes were invariably locked in the direction Xu Hao was leaving.

At this moment, they moved towards the stairs, their movements with a well-trained caution and neatness.

It seems that it is also aimed at Xu Hao.

Fang Cheng's movements stopped for an instant, and he couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Is there anyone else?

Who are they? Are they also here to find Xu Hao? What is their purpose?

The situation seems to be more complicated than expected.

Fang Cheng sat firmly again, and his gaze under the brim of his hat became even deeper.

We decided to stay put for the time being and see what these unknown people planned to do first.

Second Floor's VIP Room is far away from the hustle and bustle downstairs. Once the heavy soundproof door is closed, only luxury and silence remain.

Xu Hao dismissed most of the followers, leaving only two close friends and a few escort girls who were sitting upright and trying to liven up the atmosphere.

He sunk his butt into the soft sofa, picked up a bottle of expensive wine, poured himself a full glass, and drank most of it.

There was still blood oozing from the palm where he had just crushed the wine bottle, but he seemed not to notice it and did not even frown.

"Brother Hao, are you okay?"

Upon seeing this, a confidant approached cautiously and whispered:

"I think the few blind bastards downstairs are probably sent by the grandsons of the East City Association to cause trouble. Damn it, you dare to run wild on our territory, how about... bring someone over tonight and show them some color?"

"East City Association?"

Xu Hao snorted coldly and leaned lazily on the back of the sofa, with his legs casually resting on Coffee Table in front of him:

"Sending this low-class guy here to test, do you think I, Xu Hao, am easy to bully? Those old guys are really getting better and better..."

"Oh, Brother Hao~ Don't talk about these fights and killings all the time. It's such a spoiler of fun."

Before he could finish his words, a waiter girl with heavy makeup and cool clothes next to him smiled and leaned up to Xu Hao. She almost pressed her whole body against Xu Hao and said in a sweet voice:

"How about we come sing? People like to hear Brother Hao sing the most!"

Xu Hao was not angry when he was interrupted. Instead, he laughed at the deliberate flattery. He stretched out his arm, grabbed her soft waist, and squeezed:

"Oh? Really? You just have to be sweet! Okay, then I will show my kindness today and sing one for you to fulfill your wish."

Then he copied the Mike style on Coffee Table and skillfully sang a heavy metal rock song.

When the dynamic prelude sounded, everyone present unconsciously straightened their backs, with expressions on their faces as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

When Xu Hao held Mike in the wind and screamed out the first note, the faces of several attendants and accompanying girls could not help but twitch slightly.

And the girl who suggested singing was being stared at by everyone with "You're dead" looks in her eyes.

The deafening, thunderous music, and Xu Hao's singing, which was comparable to a pig-killing scene, instantly filled the entire box and impacted everyone's eardrums.

Everyone subconsciously wanted to cover their ears, but because the "lead singer" Xu Hao was right in front of them, they could only endure the torture.

They had exaggerated smiles on their faces, applauded vigorously, and cheered loudly.

However, the helplessness in his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.

Just when everyone was suffering, "dong dong", "dong dong", the box door was gently knocked continuously.

A younger brother saw this and took the opportunity to remind him.

The rock star's excitement that had been brewing was interrupted. Xu Hao seemed extremely impatient. He stopped singing suddenly, turned to face the door and shouted:

"Who is it?! Didn't you hear me singing? Get out!"

There was silence outside the door, and then a timid and somewhat hesitant female voice came:

"Brother Hao, it's me, Xiao Qing... I, I saw that your hand was injured, so I brought the medical kit over."

Hearing the name "Xiao Qing", the impatience on Xu Hao's face instantly subsided a lot.

He glanced at the palm of his right hand, which was still bleeding faintly, and his eyes flickered a few times in a complex manner.

There was silence for a moment, and then he waved to the other people in the box. "Okay, everyone, please go out."

As if they had received an amnesty, the attendants and the accompanying girls quickly opened the box door and let someone waiting outside in, then filed out and closed the door behind them.

The person who walked in was the waitress who was pestered by the drunk downstairs just now, Xiao Qing.

She had changed out of her Bar work uniform and was wearing a simple white T-shirt and light blue jeans. She washed off the light makeup on her face, revealing a delicate and clean face, and she was holding a household medical kit in her hand.

When her eyes fell on Xu Hao's injured hand, there was obvious worry and distress in her eyes.

"Brother Hao, your hands..."

"It's just a minor injury, not worth making a fuss about."

Xu Hao's tone is still tough, but his eyes are much softer than before. "Didn't I tell you to go home immediately after get off work? Why did you come here?"

"I, I'm not worried..."

Xiao Qing lowered his head, walked to him, placed the medical kit on Coffee Table, opened it, and took out Tweezers, Disinfectant and Gauze.

"Let me help you take care of it. There is Glass residue in the wound. If it is not cleaned, it will become inflamed and infected."

Xu Hao did not refuse anymore, and allowed her to carefully use Tweezers to pinch out the tiny Glass fragments embedded in the flesh, and then dip Cotton Swab into Disinfectant to clean the wound.

The alcohol came into contact with the wound, causing a sharp sting. Xu Hao's muscles tensed subconsciously, but he never made a sound.

Xiao Qing's movements are very gentle, her eyelashes are lowered, and her expression is very focused.

The only sounds left in the box were the slight sound of her treating the wound, and the slight awkwardness between the two, with a hint of subtle ambiguity.

"Okay."

Xu Hao When she was about to bandage it, she broke the silence. "This little injury will be fine in two days."

"Then be careful..."

Xiao Qing murmured in a low voice and carefully tied the last knot.

At this moment, a "dong-dong" knock on the door sounded again, which seemed a little urgent.

Xu Hao raised his eyebrows and couldn't help shouting again:

"Who is it? Is it over yet?"

Before there was a response from outside, there was a "click" and the box door was quietly opened from the outside.

I saw two men in jackets with expressionless faces barging in.

Their eyes were cold, their movements were quick, and their goals were clear - heading straight for Xu Hao on the sofa!

"Who?!"

Xu Hao reacted very quickly and almost jumped up from the sofa the moment the door opened.

With his almost instinctive intuition about Danger, he grabbed the nearest heavy Crystal Ashtray at hand, and without thinking, he smashed it into the face of the person who was rushing forward!

However, the opponent had obviously anticipated his skills.

The man on the left was short and nimbly avoided the wine bottle. At the same time, he flicked his right hand and a black light pierced Xu Hao's lower abdomen.

Xu Hao's pupils shrank suddenly, and he narrowly avoided it by turning sideways, only to see clearly that it was a Military Dagger with serrated teeth!

At the same time, the man on the right was approaching, a black object in his hand made a "sizzling" arcing sound, and he stabbed Xu Hao's waist.

That is an extremely powerful High-Voltage Electric Baton!

Xu Hao was attacked from both sides, roared angrily, raised his foot suddenly, and kicked over the heavy Coffee Table in front of him.

There was a loud "clang" sound, and the overturned Coffee Table successfully blocked the electric baton attack of the man on the right.

Taking advantage of this momentary gap, Xu Hao leaned back suddenly, using an incredible Iron Plate Bridge posture to avoid the Dagger sweep of the man on the left who was following closely!

But after all, he was injured and was caught off guard by two people, so his movements were still slightly sluggish.

The man on the right missed the target, flicked his wrist, and the electric baton was like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole, and once again let out a terrifying Blue Electric Arc, stabbing Xu Hao's neck accurately!

A flash of fierceness flashed in Xu Hao's eyes. Just when he was about to fight off his injuries and fight off the attack, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Qing from the corner of his eye, who had accidentally fallen down during the melee just now.

His heart suddenly tightened, and there was a moment of hesitation in his movements.

When masters compete with each other, victory or defeat can only happen in an instant!

Zila--

Dazzling electric light flashed! The front end of High-Voltage Electric Baton hit Xu Hao's shoulder firmly!

A powerful electric current coursed through the whole body in an instant. Xu Hao felt all the muscles in his body spasming violently. Before he could fight back, he was kicked hard in the forehead.

Xu Hao Suddenly his vision went dark, and his body twitched uncontrollably and fell limply.

Before his consciousness completely blurred, he used his last bit of strength to roar:

"Don't... hurt her!!"

The two men in jackets moved without any pause.

One person quickly stepped forward and tied the limp Xu Hao tightly with a restraint belt, while the other person walked towards Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing widened his eyes in horror, wanting to scream and call for help outside.

The man took action quickly and gave her a moderate chop on the back of the neck.

Xiao Qing didn't even hum, and fainted softly on the carpet.

They did not harm outsiders, and their target was only Xu Hao from beginning to end.

The two of them cooperated tacitly, scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and then dragged in the two younger brothers who were lying at the door.

Then, one person picked up the unconscious Xu Hao, another person closed the door again, and quickly left through a hidden back door in the box.

The entire process of attack, subdument, and evacuation only took about ten seconds.

Clean, quiet, and extremely professional and well-trained.

But the moment the two of them disappeared through the back door with Xu Hao.

A blurry black shadow flew past the other end of the corridor at a speed beyond normal speed.

Almost reaching the extreme!

It even brought up a sudden strong wind, which made the clothes of a nearby waiter who happened to be passing by carrying Fruit Bowl rattle.

The waiter's eyes blurred, as if something flashed past him. He couldn't even capture its specific shape, leaving only an inexplicable chill down his spine.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he couldn't help rubbing his eyes, looking around in confusion.

But when I looked closely, the corridor was empty, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

"Strange... could it be a ghost..."

When he thought of this, he suddenly trembled all over and hurriedly walked away.
