The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Chapter 1815 - 1818: Challenge from the Pingwei Family

"I'm despicable and shameless?"

Xu Hao straightened up and said calmly, "I'm just doing something very normal. If I were someone else and they took you by force now, could you even resist?

Do you not know your own allure and how many people are eyeing you? Do you believe me when I say if I throw you onto the street right now, you'd be... "

"Enough! I should thank you, right?"

Zhen Meizi was really about to break down because of Xu Hao. What Xu Hao said seemed reasonable, but it was actually just sophistry. If it weren't for Xu Hao, how would she have ended up in this current predicament?

"Ha, believe it or not, I couldn't care less about you. Go have a look at the Pingwei Family and see if they even dare to oppose me!"

Xu Hao immediately instructed someone to drive and rush to the Pingwei Family's territory.

Everyone either drove or took a taxi to follow; they discovered that as long as they didn't attack Xu Hao, he couldn't care less about them.

After all, Xu Hao's target was those family forces, not the ordinary people.

All of Xu Hao's activities in Dongtian County were being watched by the people of Universal Vitality Hall.

He ye Zhi Ji and other board members of Universal Vitality Hall were observing every move of Xu Hao.

"This Xu Hao actually has some ideas. He wants to control all the forces in Dongtian County and then indirectly grow his influence and promote products," one board member analyzed.

He ye Zhi Ji sneered, "What Xu Hao is doing is effectively shooting himself in the foot. Those forces haven't won the hearts of the locals. Even if he subdues those forces, so what? It's still useless and would only lead to more resistance."

Upon hearing He ye Zhi Ji's analysis, everyone nodded, feeling that his analysis was very reasonable, that what Xu Hao was doing was essentially a futile effort.

In the end, it would only end up benefiting them.

He ye Zhi Ji continued, "However, we should give Xu Hao a little more provocation. Come, let us pay the locals in Dongtian County to stall Xu Hao, let him feel again the strength of ordinary people."

"But... but in that case, given Xu Hao's character, it could lead to significant casualties..." one board member worriedly said.

"Casualties? Are you worried about the safety of those civilians? As long as we make money, how many civilians die is not our concern, right? Also, we aren't forcing them to go, we're paying them. If they want the money, they must bear the risk," He ye Zhi Ji said matter-of-factly.

"That's also true. I was being too empathetically naive. Their lives and deaths have nothing to do with us," that person immediately admitted.

...

Dongtian County, West District.

As the overlord of the West District, the Pingwei Family wields extreme power locally, and they control the real estate industry here, effectively holding the lifeblood of many people.

They can raise prices whenever they want and lower them whenever they please. Among these forces, there's mutual agreement on exploiting the wealth of civilians; none will undercut prices in competition. Over time, which civilian would dare stand against them?

However, now they heard something that made every member of the Pingwei Family infuriated beyond belief.

The messenger at the gate demanded that all Pingwei Family members should immediately kneel on the ground to welcome the arrival of Xu Hao!

The Family Head of the Pingwei Family, Ping Wei Tian, coldly looked at the messenger and said with utmost anger, "Go back and tell Xu Hao that our Pingwei Family will never cooperate with a mere Huaya person like him. Although we don't have martial arts experts to safeguard us, with our backing and armed weapons, why would we fear just a single person?!"

The messenger said, "You're refusing to cooperate? Once our Chairman arrives, you'll reap the consequences."

"Baka! When have we, the Pingwei Family, ever been afraid of anyone? Our family is retreating to the mountain now. If Xu Hao dares, let him come up and seek us out! Should Xu Hao also target the ordinary people of our family, then it shows he's truly an evil executioner beyond redemption!"

Ping Wei Tian snorted coldly, then ordered the gates closed and led the entire Pingwei Family up the mountain.

He intended to use the geographical advantage to ambush Xu Hao on the mountain.

Moreover, fearing Xu Hao wouldn't dare come, he directly posted a challenge on the Dongying Forum: Xu Hao from Huaya, if you have the guts, come to the Pingwei Family's territory. Let us see what you're truly capable of! Of course, if you prefer to stay a coward, then we said nothing.

The influence of the Pingwei Family is limited to Dongtian County, and very few in Zhonghai Prefecture know of them.

But now is a special time; the situation in Dongtian County is under the watchful eyes of Dongying netizens. As soon as the Pingwei Family issued a statement, it immediately garnered significant attention.

Seeing the Pingwei Family being so gutsy, Dongying netizens began to express their support from afar.
