Chapter 1851 1854: Steely Resolve?
But what everyone was more curious about was the short man he was holding in his hand.
The short man struggled desperately, but in Xu Hao's hand, he was like a little chick, completely incapable of resisting.
Everyone stared curiously at Xu Hao. Although they had temporarily lost their senses, it didn't mean that they were all completely brainless at this moment; they were just overwhelmed with anger towards Xu Hao.
Mei Xuezi asked, "Master Xu, who is this person?"
"This person is the mastermind secretly manipulating these people. Now, I will break his sorcery and restore their reason."
Xu Hao casually threw the short man to the ground, then took a compass from his sleeve and broke the sorcery in the blink of an eye.
Once those people regained their senses, they looked at each other in confusion, not knowing why they were there.
After Xu Hao explained to them, they were so scared that they all trembled and retreated, their eyes filled with fear towards Xu Hao.
Xu Hao was now notorious in Dongying, and no one dared to confront him, let alone do something like what they just did to him.
"Master Xu, please don't misunderstand, I originally had no ill intentions towards you. It was this person who framed us. We are all honest and straightforward people and would never resist your products!"
"Yes, yes! Master Xu, please believe us, we are just ordinary people. We can't get involved in those big matters, nor do we want to. For us, whoever's products are better and cheaper, we use them. After all, it's not our money, why should we care?"
Xu Hao smiled at them, "You don't need to worry. Actually, the reason he was able to use you is still because you have hostility towards me. But I don't care; I believe my Xu Liu Group's products are strong enough to defeat the Universal Vitality Hall and show the world what real good products are!"
He turned coldly towards the short man and said sternly, "How dare you use such vicious methods to harm people? This makes me very angry! Tell me, who directed you to do these things?"
The short man immediately knelt and shook his head, "Master Xu, please forgive me. I can't say it. If I do, I will surely die! These are just minor tricks, not worth mentioning in front of you."
"Even if it's a minor trick, it can still kill people. If I stab someone to death with a wooden sword, does it not count as murder?" Xu Hao said coldly.
Everyone wanted to say, haven't you killed enough people?
We've never seen you get into trouble, let alone stab someone to death with a wooden sword.
But they didn't dare to say it out loud, only muttering occasionally in their hearts.
Xu Hao continued, "I didn't expect you to play dead and not confess. It seems like you have a backbone. Are you afraid of retaliation from the forces behind you or your family? Rest assured, as long as you confess, I will ensure your safety."
"No, you can't guarantee my safety. Their power is far beyond your imagination. By opposing them now, you're just smashing eggs against a rock!"
The short man instead tried to persuade Xu Hao, "If you know what's good for you, you'll stop developing in Dongying. The complexity of Dongying's forces is far beyond what a Huaya person like you can imagine."
"Ha! Dongying is just a tiny island, only three to four hundred thousand square kilometers. Not even as large as some of our provinces. Do you think you have more people on your land of one hundred thousand square kilometers than we do in Huaya's territory of millions? More power than we have?" Xu Hao said dismissively.
"Humph! So what? The strength of Dongying is still beyond your imagination! I know I won't be spared by you, but Xu Hao, you must know that you too will certainly die soon!"
The short man seemed to have thought it through and no longer pleaded for his life. Instead, he looked at the camera, showing his face fully to the Dongying netizens following the matter, and shouted, "Remember us; we sacrificed our lives to resist the invasion of Xu Hao from Huaya!"
Qiu er immediately shook her head, "This guy doesn't seem to have been controlled, but he talks as if he's been brainwashed, which I don't understand."
"This indicates that this person has been completely brainwashed, his mind filled with such thoughts. But his brainwashing isn't thorough, or he wouldn't have pleaded with me initially. He's far from being a true suicide soldier," Xu Hao commented.
The netizens of the Dongying Forum heard what the short man said and became agitated, clamoring for Xu Hao to release him immediately.
"This is our true Dongying hero! Huaya Xu Hao, release those people immediately, or we will unite and denounce you!"
"Yes! Aren't you Huaya people the ones who claim to be a nation of rituals and a great nation? How can you do such inhumane things? Don't you promote righteousness? Does what you're doing align with the Confucian-Mencius principle of righteousness you often preach?"
