At this moment, the atmosphere in the private room became oppressive again. Wang Hao was very assertive and seemed unwilling to let Yu Fu leave.
"My friend, is there anything else you wish to say to me?" A cold glint flashed in Yu Fu's eyes, then he turned around with a smile, his pupils suddenly contracting.
Because at this moment, Wang Hao actually appeared in front of him without making a sound. If he hadn't turned his head, he wouldn't have known that the other party had come to him.
"Tell me the purpose of your meeting with Li Zhiheng. What do you want to discuss today?" Wang Hao's gaze was indifferent and extremely imposing.
Yu Fu's face stiffened for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Friend, aren't you meddling too much? You may not know my identity. Let me reiterate, I am the head of the black market responsible for underground transactions in this area."
"You will inevitably need the black market sometime in the future, so I suggest that we make friends. After all, having more friends means having more options."
Wang Hao nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll accept you as a friend. Since we're friends, tell me what you both want to talk about, right? Otherwise, how can we be friends?"
"You!" Yu Fu was speechless for a moment, his fists clenched tightly, his body trembling with anger, but when he thought of the other party's ruthlessness, he gave up the idea of attacking.
“It’s alright to tell you. Li Zhiheng was originally a sure thing to go to Tianxing, but his spot was removed by certain forces. That’s why he came to me.”
"He wanted to cooperate with the black market to get a chance to go to Tianxing, but with your arrival, I feel there is no need to cooperate with him anymore."
Wang Hao raised an eyebrow, clearly not expecting that Li Zhiheng's spot in the Heavenly Star competition would be canceled through underhanded means.
Seeing that Wang Hao was no longer stopping him, Yu Fu prepared to leave. However, after opening the door, he paused and said, "Li Zhiheng's family has many connections with the Tianxing Li family. You'd better be careful."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Wang Hao narrowed his eyes, watching Yu Fu's departing figure. He was somewhat dismissive of Yu's "well-intentioned reminder." This man was obviously petty and narrow-minded; why would he kindly remind him?
"Forget it, if he dares to mess with me, I'll find a chance to do it." Wang Hao exhaled a breath of hot air, looked at Li Zhiheng who was still unconscious, and then slowly walked over.
"Click!"
With a sharp crack, Li Zhiheng's other ankle was also broken. The excruciating pain instantly brought Li Zhiheng to his senses, and his screams echoed through the private room via a microphone not far away.
"What else do you want?!" Li Zhiheng roared, clutching his feet. His face was flushed, and the pain from the broken bones made him gasp for breath, as if only this could relieve the pain.
Wang Hao glanced at him but ignored him, instead sitting down to ponder the situation. He needed to sort out the current circumstances.
"The most urgent task is to quickly restore my cultivation. If the Li family's steward comes to Earth and tries to forcibly take Shi Mengqi away, I must have the cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm before I can fight against a Xuan Realm martial artist."
"I hope the adventure in a few days will bring me some surprises." After making up his mind, Wang Hao stood up, didn't even glance at Li Zhiheng, and turned to leave.
"Wang Hao, you just wait!" Li Zhiheng gritted his teeth, his hatred rising to its peak. He could not allow or accept that the ant from back then could actually be above him!
......
"I thought you had left." Wang Hao opened the door of the Porsche and got in.
Xia Xiaoyi glanced at him, then stepped on the gas pedal to the floor, and the car shot off instantly. It seemed that her heart was not so calm either.
Wang Hao quickly fastened his seatbelt, then asked with a smile, "Do you know anything about the black market? That effeminate man just now said he was some kind of leader in the black market."
Xia Xiaoyi's expression changed slightly, and she asked anxiously while driving, "Did he really say that?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? Is the sect leader that powerful? He didn't even have the courage to make a move." Wang Hao was a little surprised, wondering why she had such a strong reaction.
"Whoosh."
Xia Xiaoyi slammed the car on the side of the road and said in surprise, "You didn't hit him too, did you?"
Wang Hao shook his head, and then repeated the conversation between the two of them.
"Fortunately, the conflict was not significant. The black market is what makes it a black market because many shady transactions need to be completed there, and governments generally turn a blind eye to it."
"The black market is divided into incense masters, branch masters, and four protectors. Incense masters are mainly responsible for transaction-related matters, while branch masters are needed to step in when major events occur."
"As for the four guardians, I heard they all possess Earth Realm cultivation. Moreover, the terrifying thing about the black market is not how high their cultivation level is, but the connections and complex forces behind them."
Xia Xiaoyi paused for a moment, then continued, "Above the Four Protectors is a young master of the Black Market. I heard he's made it onto the Heavenly Star's Prodigy Ranking, but we don't know who he is."
"Where does Li Xu rank on that list of prodigies?" Wang Hao had already added this person to his kill list. Anyone who dared to lay a finger on Shi Mengqi had to die.
Xia Xiaoyi thought for a moment and said, "The list of geniuses records martial artists under the age of fifty, and Li Xu must be in the top ten, or even the top five. He reached the Great Perfection of the Profound Realm at the age of thirty."
"This cultivation speed is simply unbelievable. I heard that his genes were modified when he was a child, but who knows? Even Meng Qi, who has an A+ aptitude, is only at the peak of the early Yellow Realm at the age of twenty-two."
Wang Hao knew in his heart that Shi Mengqi was somewhat resistant to martial arts, mainly because he had been too weak in the past, and she wanted to give up martial arts in order to accommodate him.
"Alright, don't overthink it. The Li family on Tianxing won't be able to go to Earth for the time being because the strange beasts there have started acting strangely again..."
"Ahem, do your best in the expedition in a few days. I look forward to seeing you achieve something in your useless skills."
After Xia Xiaoyi finished speaking, she started the car again, dropped Wang Hao off at his doorstep, and then disappeared into the night.
"A strange beast?" Wang Hao was a little suspicious, but seeing that Xia Xiaoyi was determined not to tell him, he didn't press her for details, since Tianxing was still a long way off for him.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed, and Wang Hao's cultivation had only recovered to about 30%. On the appointed day, he told his family that he was going on a picnic, and then went to the building again.
"You're quite punctual. You can stay here. We must make sure that no information leaks out before then, because this operation is very important!"
Chi Tu was very serious; it seemed this operation was not simple.
Wang Hao expressed his understanding, otherwise he wouldn't have told his family about the picnic. He had guessed that the reason for the trip being two days in advance was to ensure the secrecy of the operation.
He hasn't been idle these past two days either. He's completed the cultivation techniques for several abandoned techniques and learned them as one of his means of survival.
