Upon hearing Wang Zheng's words, Li Hao visibly perked up.
He quickly stepped forward and asked, "What kind of thank-you gift do you want?"
Wang Zheng pretended to think for a moment, then reached into the backpack on his bicycle and pulled out a crystal of the Golden Giant Ape's spiritual energy, casually tossing it in his hand.
"I don't lack money, but I really like these shiny little trinkets. I wonder if Young Master Li is willing to pay the price."
"Glug~"
"Glug~"
Li Hao felt a surge of emotion in his throat, and he swallowed twice.
When he heard the voice, he turned around curiously and found that it was Wenrou, the boss of the security company, who also exclaimed in amazement and was staring at the spiritual crystal that could be described as top quality.
Two dark eyes were darting around mischievously, moving up and down in sync with Wang Zheng's hand movements, which was quite comical.
"Cough cough..."
She only realized what was happening when Li Hao coughed lightly. She then wiped away non-existent drool and retreated behind Li Hao.
Li Hao and Wenrou are discerning; after all, Wenrou is an Awakened One with a maximum attribute of 50 points and a strength that has just surpassed B-level.
They recognized it at a glance as a crystallized spiritual energy of a high-level mythical beast.
Moreover, judging from the color of the crystal and the density of spiritual energy it contains, this is a top-tier, high-level spiritual energy crystal, located at the top of the food chain of exotic beasts.
Furthermore, considering how casually the boy pulled it out of his bicycle backpack, his relaxed demeanor suggests that this is far beyond what can be explained by a top genius from a prestigious university.
Even the most outstanding university students can only barely reach the threshold of A-level Awakened by the time they graduate, and that's already considered a super genius at Li Hao's school.
Only a handful of people have appeared in the last few decades.
What school does Li Hao attend?
The Awakened University of the Imperial Capital!
This is one of the top universities in the country. If the Imperial University is like this, then the other universities for awakened individuals are even more impressive.
Moreover, it is common knowledge that a high-level human awakened being of the same rank would generally be no match for a beast of the same grade in a one-on-one fight.
If anyone were to say that the young man in front of him was a peak A-level expert, Li Hao would slap him across the face right now.
"What utter bullshit! There's no way an A-rank Awakened could be this young!"
Who is this person?
This is as obvious as a louse on a bald man's head!
'He's definitely a super-rich second-generation heir from a prominent family!'
As Li Hao was pondering and guessing Wang Zheng's background, the gentle gaze standing behind him suddenly became unfocused. First, it followed Wang Zheng's movements up and down, and then it suddenly caught sight of the backpack that Wang Zheng had casually hung on the bicycle.
The backpack looked so ordinary, like the cheap luggage bags you could find anywhere in a supermarket for a few dozen yuan.
It hung loosely on the back of the car, as if it might fall off at any moment.
This ordinary backpack seemed to have a magnetic pull, drawing the attention of this modern-day head of a security escort agency.
Of course, Wang Zheng would never put such a precious spiritual crystal in this tattered bag; the bag was just a prop he used to deceive others.
Wang Zheng had just reached into his bag and then taken out the spiritual energy crystal from his storage space.
He was stunned to see the two of them, and remained silent for a long time. Then he saw those gentle, thieving eyes scanning his beloved car up and down.
Wang Zheng was immediately dissatisfied. He surrounded himself with spiritual energy, emanating a heavy aura.
Different people react differently.
Li Hao felt the profound spiritual energy fluctuations and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
'As expected of a young master from a super-rich family, not only is he incredibly wealthy, but he also seems to possess considerable strength.'
Wenrou immediately felt a chill and shivered. When she saw Wang Zheng's ambiguous smile, the greed on her face instantly turned into panic.
She took several steps back, then turned around and angrily berated her subordinates:
"What are you all doing crowding around here? Get back and sit down! Anyone who dares to stop me will be skinned alive when I get back!"
The burly men in black clothes looked at each other, wondering what had gotten into their boss.
Their strength was lower, so they couldn't sense Wang Zheng's killing intent.
However, Wenrou was not gentle at all; in fact, she was a violent maniac. She had long held sway over everyone, and the group of burly men had no choice but to obey and obediently return to their cars to wait.
Coupled with Wang Zheng's previous imposing manner, Wenrou had already come to regard him as a peerless genius from a prominent family.
Then he silently cursed Wang Zheng over and over again.
"If you're so cool, why are you riding a beat-up bike to show off! With your pale, delicate face, do you look like someone who enjoys cycling?"
'Just because you're handsome doesn't mean you can be so great! You're even trying to intimidate people!'
'If I ever find out you're no match for me, I'll pull down your pants and spank you!'
...
The thought of the other person being pinned down on her lap, spanked, and then begging for mercy made Wenrou momentarily lose herself in a daze, and she couldn't help but let out a silly "hehehe" laugh.
