Chapter 13
C13 – Sneak Attack, Defend Against
“Big brother, what have I done to offend you? I apologize!”
Hong Liang’s voice trembled with panic as Jiang Hao advanced towards him. Frightened, Hong Liang kept retreating.
Jiang Hao’s gaze fell upon the terrified Hong Liang, the one responsible for injuring his father.
The hatred in his heart could no longer be contained!
At this moment, Hong Liang’s face twisted into a sinister smile. He grabbed a metal rod as long as an arm and swung it viciously at Jiang Hao’s head.
“You dare get in my way? I’ll make sure you regret it!”
But just as the rod came crashing down, Jiang Hao reacted swiftly. Sensing the impending danger, he sidestepped and evaded the attack. Simultaneously, he delivered a powerful backhand punch!
In this strike, Jiang Hao had exerted 70% to 80% of his strength!
“Ah!”
“Bang!”
Hong Liang screamed and fell to the ground.
“You attacked me?”
Jiang Hao stepped forward and kicked Hong Liang over.
“Let you go? Why didn’t you let my dad go?”
After saying that, Jiang Hao lifted Hong Liang up and threw a punch at his stomach!
“Bang!”
“Urgh!”
This punch turned Hong Liang into a small lobster. He curled up into a ball and continuously vomited!
“You dare to collect protection fees? Is there any law?”
“Bang!”
At that moment, Jiang Hao’s words were followed by a forceful punch!
In the end, Hong Liang remained sprawled on the ground, unable to rise again.
Jiang Hao didn’t intend to take a life, so he refrained from going any further.
Instead, he fixed his gaze on the severely injured Hong Liang and issued a cruel warning in a stern voice.
“Remember this well. The next time I catch you extorting protection fees, I’ll break your legs. You can count on it!”
Jiang Hao reached down and retrieved a metal rod from Hong Liang’s body. Holding it before Hong Liang’s terrified eyes, he then used both hands to bend the metal rod, showcasing his strength before tossing it aside.
Leaving elegantly, he left Hong Liang in shock, watching him go.
After returning home, Jiang Zixuan was diligently doing her homework. Jiang Hao discreetly slipped into his bedroom and, ensuring no one was around, he made a call to his mother to inquire about Jiang’s father’s current condition.
After the call, he spent some time chatting with his mother before finally hanging up.
Afterward, Jiang Hao lay on the bed and drifted into a deep sleep.
Today had been truly exhausting for Jiang Hao. First, he had the surprise from the system, then he rescued a damsel in distress, followed by the shocking news of his father’s injury. He tended to his father and, in the end, sought vengeance on his behalf!
Despite having a much stronger spirit than the average person, this series of events left him utterly drained!
The next morning, Jiang Hao packed his belongings and called Jiang Zixuan to head to school together.
Upon arriving in the classroom, a cacophony of noise greeted them.
Jiang Hao noticed that the English teacher had taken over the physical education class that day. In the third and fourth periods, the teacher assigned the students a set of simulation exercises to complete!
Jiang Hao was already used to it.
He emptied his backpack, extracting all the books and using the system to deconstruct the textbooks, then combining their contents with the Knowledge Crystal.
As the textbooks were deconstructed one by one, the Knowledge Crystal assimilated the information into his mind.
Before long, Jiang Hao had mastered all the high school knowledge, becoming a super scholar-lord!
At this time, Jiang Hao felt his mind brimming with boundless knowledge.
Just then, a beautiful woman appeared at the classroom door.
Her gaze swept inside, as if searching for someone.
It was Soong Wan, the same girl Jiang Hao had rescued yesterday!
“Uncle Hai said he was in Grade Three Class Eight. How could he not be here?”
Soong Wan seemed quite renowned in the school; all the students in Grade Three Class Eight knew her.
“Hey, look! Isn’t that Soong Wan, the daughter of the Jade King from Jiangbei Province?”
“Who? Soong Wan? Where?”
“What’s she doing here? Whom is she looking for?”
“Wow! If someone could win her over, they’d be incredibly wealthy!”
