Wang Hao was indeed very curious about the white mist that appeared on Wei Shengkun’s body.
The reason he himself could absorb the world’s hostility was because of the existence of the dice of fate, but why did Wei Shengkun and his people have this sa thing? That seed a bit unreasonable.
"Little Hao, you said you can absorb hostility, right?" Bai Haochen sighed, then picked up his cup of tea for a sip and said slowly, "It seems that this ability of yours, the other party seems to be capable of it too." He said, picking up his laptop and pointing at a segnt of surveillance video, "This is sothing we captured unintentionally. Lately, all the major auction houses were being swept clean of goods, and almost all the sweep was for rather famous antiques. Normally, this would be quite common, but look at this..."
On the computer screen, it was Wei Shengkun admiring a Tang Dynasty vase.
It looked like he was admiring, but from the video, a faint flow of energy was clearly visible between his hand and the vase. If judged by how Wang Hao previously absorbed hostility, it was obvious that Wei Shengkun was engaging in the sa action.
"Uncle Bai, do you an to say that soone has been collecting these antiques recently?" Wang Hao furrowed his brows and asked in a grave voice, "And it’s not just Wei Shengkun alone who’s doing this?"
"Of course," Bai Haochen nodded and continued, "That’s why I think this ti the situation is unprecedentedly serious."
The whole room instantly fell silent.
Wang Hao, Bai Haochen, and Bai Zongsheng looked at each other, everyone falling silent.
The situation was indeed very serious.
Apart from Wang Hao on his side, the others were clearly just ordinary people who did not possess this ability.
But the other party was not the sa, they were a group of people. Although any single one of them was no match for Wang Hao, a swarm of ants could overco an elephant. Wang Hao alone couldn’t possibly deal with so many people at the sa ti; after all, one can only do so much at once.
"Ah, troubleso tis indeed." After a while of silence, Bai Zongsheng finally let out a light sigh, "The most troubleso thing about this matter is that the enemy is extrely well hidden, and without finding the ultimate leader, nobody dares to make a move to kill. That’s the case with the Hong family, otherwise, do you think Hong Tianjun would be so easy to deal with as a future Family Head?"
Wang Hao very much agreed with this point.
If the underlings were already this difficult to handle, what about that strongest big boss above them?
If they really made a move to behead him, there truly would be no way to respond. At least for now, Wang Hao could be sure that if he made a move against anyone, the opponent would definitely be caught off guard.
"The key point still lies with this leader," Wang Hao took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Bai, if it really cos to it, can’t you arrange for people to search on a large scale? Might they discover so clues?"
"I’ve tried of course." Bai Haochen handed a cigarette to both Wang Hao and Bai Zongsheng and lit it for them, then he said slowly, "But it was still useless, the opponents obviously have far superior senses. I mainly focused on the major auctions, but every ti we found a suspect, we could only track them for up to ten minutes before losing all trace."
Now Wang Hao realized that the four big families were indeed in a difficult position.
They were currently the largest entities within the country, but the problem was exactly that—their target was too obvious.
An elephant standing there was too easy for the mice to watch every move it made. But what the mice were up to, the elephant simply couldn’t see.
"Yeah, this is indeed a tough issue," Wang Hao thought for a mont, then stood up, "Uncle Bai, Grand Elder, considering Yaning’s situation, I can’t promise anything else, but at the very least, I will definitely ensure the Bai family’s safety. You both can be completely at ease about that. Right now, since the opponent is very mysterious, I can only try to find clues myself."
Seeing that Wang Hao was ready to leave, Bai Haochen hesitated as if wanting to say more.
Bai Zongsheng took a deep breath, then stood up and firmly patted Wang Hao on the shoulder, saying, "You’re a good kid. At first, I was quite opposed to your affair with Yaning, but now it seems that our Yaning has quite the eye. Keep it up, young man, no matter what happens in the future, as long as you’re willing to call great-grandpa, our Bai family will always support you."
Bai Zongsheng’s words clearly had a hidden aning, and Wang Hao listened with so confusion.
He couldn’t quite figure it out at the mont, but anyway, it was certain that there was no malice intended, so Wang Hao chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "Don’t worry, great-grandpa, nothing will happen. I’ll be going now."
"Go ahead," Bai Zongsheng waved his hand and said, "Be careful with everything, and don’t try to act tough if you encounter any problems. Ensuring your own safety is the most important thing. For now, our Bai family hasn’t noticed anything amiss, so you don’t need to worry."
"Alright, then I’ll be going now."
Watching Wang Hao leave, Bai Haochen looked at Bai Zongsheng and sighed again.
"I’ve been thinking about that matter and still haven’t said anything," Bai Haochen shook his head helplessly and said, "I didn’t dare to say it."
"It’s the sa for ," Bai Zongsheng sighed again and said, "Let the young people talk among themselves. Honestly, in these troubled tis... troubled tis indeed."
...
Having left Bai Haochen’s villa, Wang Hao walked on the road, feeling that sothing was off about today.
"What’s going on with today," Wang Hao scratched his head as he walked, "What’s with these four great families, acting all mysterious? If they could be taken down by sothing like this, what’s the point of their existence!"
The whole situation was very strange, and now Wang Hao didn’t know what was going on.
Judging by the strength of these families, even if they couldn’t guarantee an offensive, at least defense shouldn’t be a problem. But obviously, things were not as they seed. Could a Ghost Master Alliance really cause them this much trouble?
Forget it, Wang Hao took out his phone and sent a ssage to Bai Yaning, but after waiting for a while, he got no reply.
"What’s all this about?" Wang Hao sat on the curb, muttering to himself, "I don’t even know if she’s alright over there, if she’s eaten, how she’s sleeping, or if soone’s been hitting on her..." Then he slapped his forehead: "Oh no, I just rembered, there’s a ti difference with the United States."
It was only afternoon in the Heavenly People’s Republic, so it must have been the middle of the night in the United States. Probably Bai Yaning was already asleep.
Thinking that made him feel much better. As Wang Hao walked on the road, he started to ponder the Ghost Master Alliance matter again.
As he walked, suddenly his phone rang. Picking it up, he saw that it was Lan Qinglong calling!
"Hello? What’s up?" Wang Hao asked with a smile in his voice, "What made you think to call ?"
"Brother-in-law, where are you?" Lan Qinglong still called Wang Hao "brother-in-law": "My sister and I just happened to co to Zhonghai, and we were just thinking of eting up with you. How about it, after not seeing each other for such a long ti, do you miss ? Do you miss my sister?"
"You country bumpkin kid, why would I miss you?" Wang Hao chuckled: "Where are you guys? I’ll treat you to dinner."
"We’re at Mongolia’s tent barbecue, co over, brother-in-law," Lan Qinglong laughed, "We’re waiting for you, hurry up, my sister’s getting impatient, she’s also waiting to see if you’ve got any good scripts!"
He said this and then hung up the phone. Wang Hao touched his chin: "What timing, still thinking about scripts, but alright, after all, one thing at a ti, we’ll see after I go over there!"
