Ghost Catching System-Chapter 487 - 486: To Guard Against Thieves, Start with Guarding Against Chu Hao_1
The manager and the security guard left the private room. One of the guards said, "Manager, is this really okay? What if something happens?"
The manager responded helplessly, "Do you think I want this measly sum? These are all students. For all we know, some might come from extraordinary backgrounds. It’s best we don’t provoke them if we can avoid it. As for those two unlucky fellows, they seem to be from out of town. As long as no one dies, there shouldn’t be a problem."
Realization dawned on the security guard. "You’ve thought this through thoroughly, Manager," he said.
With a hint of smugness, the manager replied, "What do you think? That I got this manager job by chance? Do your job well and keep an eye on the room’s door. Since they’re all students, they probably won’t go too far."
"Yes."
The two unlucky men didn’t even get a chance to use their abilities before beer bottles smashed against their heads one after another, causing blood to gush out.
The one with long hair, outraged, yelled, "You... who are you? Why are you hitting us?"
Wang Qi, holding a beer bottle, said in surprise, "Huh, you’re really not ordinary. Still conscious after so many beer bottles to the head."
Nonsense! Of course I’m not an ordinary person! If you hadn’t ambushed us with so many people, the two of us could have taken all of you down. The main problem was that bastard’s idea! Smashing us with beer bottles without even fighting properly... We didn’t even get a chance to fight back, and my head is already spinning.
Li Yin ordered, "Don’t stop! Keep smashing!"
"Damn it!"
The two cursed Li Yin and his ancestors eighteen generations back.
Ten minutes later, the two were on the verge of death. Everyone present was a student. Although they were usually a bit thuggish, at this point, they didn’t dare continue smashing, fearing they might actually kill someone.
Just then, Chu Hao walked into the private room.
"Brother Hao!"
"Brother Hao, you’re here."
"Greetings, Brother Hao."
Everyone greeted him, their faces full of adoration as they looked at Chu Hao.
They were all students, and pretty much everyone had heard of Chu Hao. It wasn’t just school bullies; even hardened gangsters on the streets had to treat Chu Hao respectfully.
Chu Hao’s entrance was like that of a crime boss in a movie, radiating presence.
He walked in slowly, his hands clasped behind his back.
The two men on the ground, upon seeing Chu Hao, were essentially certain that he was the mastermind.
"You... just who are you?" the long-haired man panted, struggling to breathe.
Chu Hao leaned back on the sofa and said pretentiously, "Who am I? You can ask them."
Wang Qi laughed. "You two don’t even know who Brother Hao is, and yet you dared to cause a ruckus? You must have eaten a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall!"
The two weren’t fools. Hearing this, they pieced together the situation.
It had to be Chen Guishen. He hadn’t returned after leaving. Given his personality, he must have gotten into a conflict with someone, which explained why so many people had been brought here.
Sure enough, two people walked into the room, dragging Chen Guishen between them.
Seeing Chen Guishen, the two men gasped. He looked absolutely wrecked, blood still flowing from his head where he’d been smashed by beer bottles.
Chu Hao waved his hand. "Strip them."
"Yes!"
A group of students rushed forward and began tearing off their clothes.
"No, wait! Let me explain! This is all a misunderstanding!" the two pleaded, Damn you, Chen Guishen! Damn you a thousand times over!
They found quite a few items on the two men: various small bottles and jars, and a Stone Talisman. Everything was handed over to Chu Hao.
The other items were minor trinkets. When Chu Hao examined the Stone Talisman, he received a prompt from the System.
System prompt: "Junior Gui Yin Stone Talisman, exchangeable for 3,000 Pretentiousness Points."
The Gui Yin Stone Talisman was used to summon powerful ghosts. In exchange, the talisman would enhance the ghost’s strength.
These three unfortunate fools, clearly skilled and even possessing Magic Artifacts, didn’t even get a chance to make a move.
Chu Hao grinned from ear to ear, pleased with his haul. He had earned 5,000 Pretentiousness Points without even trying to show off. Suddenly, an idea struck him: Besides showing off, I can acquire Pretentiousness Points through other channels too!
Chu Hao asked, "How many of these Stone Talismans does your Gui Yin Sect possess?"
The three stripped men, almost in despair, replied, "There are no more. These Stone Talismans are extremely rare within the Gui Yin Sect."
Chu Hao snorted. "Throw them out."
"Brother, before you throw us out, could you... could you let us put on some clothes?"
Wang Qi snorted coldly. "What do you think!"
The three were tossed out of the KTV stark naked. It was a truly pitiful sight as they scrambled away from the place.
They would likely be scarred by this city for life. It was simply too ruthless.
Chu Hao turned to Wang Qi. "Not bad, eh?"
Wang Qi respectfully replied, "Brother Hao, this is all thanks to your guidance. Otherwise, I would have strayed down the wrong path."
From initial enemies to current allies, Wang Qi’s change of heart was primarily because Chu Hao was so overwhelmingly powerful that Wang Qi had given up on revenge and even begun to idolize him.
Chu Hao asked, "Do you plan on going to university?"
Wang Qi grimaced. "My grades are terrible. Studying is useless for me. I’ve never considered taking over the family business either—it’s too boring. I like the life I have now."
Chu Hao nodded slightly. "Alright then. Go find Chen Fugui at Ritian Group tomorrow. Tell him I sent you."
"DING! Host’s subtle display of power-player status has earned 900 Pretentiousness Points."
Ritian Group!
Wang Qi and the others were flabbergasted. What was Chu Hao’s connection to Ritian Group?
Ritian Group was currently basking in the limelight. It had unified both Anli City and Longxi City and was a leading player in the commercial sector.
"Thank you, Brother Hao! Thank you!" Wang Qi exclaimed, not daring to ask more, almost overcome with excitement.
If my family finds out I’m going to work at Ritian Group, they’ll be astounded, won’t they?
After all, Ritian Group wasn’t a place just anyone could get into. My own father has always wanted to connect with Ritian Group but has never even gotten a foot in the door.
Chu Hao instructed, "Clean this place up a bit. After all, it’s not ours."
Wang Qi quickly rallied everyone to tidy up the mess.
The security guards and the manager were puzzled. Weren’t these students acting like ferocious thugs just a moment ago? How did they suddenly transform into model youths contributing to society?
Back in their private room, everyone looked at Chu Hao with admiration. Ji Qingqing was beyond thrilled; her fondness for Chu Hao deepened, becoming almost an addiction.
She unlocked her phone, its screen displaying a photo of Chu Hao she had secretly taken. She would look at it and giggle foolishly every night.
There’s no helping it; Brother Hao is just *that* outstanding.
Then, Luo Yan said, "Bai Ling is drunk."
Chu Hao looked at Bai Ling. She had drunk quite a lot and was now leaning heavily on Mu Yufei’s shoulder, deeply asleep.
Is she really drunk or just faking it? Chu Hao wondered. This Female Devil wouldn’t be putting on an act, would she?
"I’ll take her home."
Luo Yan and Qiu Xueying objected in unison, "Absolutely not!"
Chu Hao asked, puzzled, "And why not?"
It wasn’t as if Bai Ling was a blood relative of his. Besides, they knew Chu Hao’s character all too well. If they let him take Bai Ling, he might do something inappropriate. They distrusted him completely.
Most importantly, the four women had quickly formed a bond of friendship, making it even less likely they’d let Chu Hao take Bai Ling.
Guard against thieves, but first, guard against Chu Hao!
