Chapter 307: Who Dares to Snatch the Person I'm Bringing?
When Xu Hao walked into the ballroom with Xiao Lan, she immediately shrank behind him.
She looked fearfully at the boys and girls wildly shaking their bodies in the dance pool and said weakly, "Superman Big Brother, why don't... why don't we leave this place?"
Xu Hao patted her head and smiled, "It's okay, don't be afraid. I've taken care of all those old men upstairs, so why should I be afraid of dealing with these kids?"
Although Xu Hao wasn't very old himself, the past few months had matured him quite a bit. Now, looking at these people, they indeed seemed like children, naive and ridiculous.
"Yo, boy, feeling pretty cocky, huh?"
A few young men with hair dyed red, yellow, and other colors, walking arm in arm, passed by. Hearing Xu Hao's words, they immediately said with displeasure, "Kid, who do you belong to? You dare talk like that about us here?"
As they spoke, their eyes were constantly glancing at Xiao Lan.
Xu Hao glanced at them and realized they were a bunch of non-mainstream youths, then chuckled, "What does it matter to you whose family I belong to?"
The youth with yellow hair sized up Xu Hao and immediately said, "Of course, it matters. If you're from one of the big families, we'll let you off. If you're from a smaller family that still has connections with ours, we'll also let you go. But if you're powerless and without influence, then... heh heh, it's a pity, but seeing your plain clothes, you probably don't have much money, so you're definitely not a disciple of any great family."
The group quickly surrounded Xu Hao. Yellow Hair glanced at Xiao Lan and smirked deviously, "Such a pretty girl wasted on you. If I bring her to Young Master Zhou, he'll definitely be pleased."
Xu Hao simply crossed his arms and said, "It seems like you're ready to use force? I don't recall offending you, did I?"
The youth with red hair snorted, "You just called us kids, which is an insult to us. We want to take this girl and give her to Young Master Zhou as your compensation!"
Xu Hao couldn't help but laugh, "It seems to me that you just want to kidnap Xiao Lan and offer her to this so-called Young Master Zhou to curry favor with him, right?"
"Humph! What if it is?" Yellow Hair responded with disdain, "Hand over the girl right now, and we might spare your life. Otherwise...heh heh..."
All of them were rubbing their palms together, giving off an unfriendly smile towards Xu Hao and Xiao Lan.
Xu Hao smiled indifferently, "You want to start a fight? I suggest you call over this so-called Young Master Zhou. I'd like to see if he dares to snatch the woman I brought here!"
"So cocky?!"
Yellow Hair and the others were instantly stunned by Xu Hao's words. Anyone who wasn't a fool would know that, in Huadu, if someone's surname was Zhou, they must be related to the Zhou family, and if someone was so highly respected to be called Young Master Zhou, that person was undoubtedly from the Zhou family Patriarch's clan.
Yet, this guy right in front of them said that Young Master Zhou wouldn't dare to take the woman he brought!
After exchanging glances, Yellow Hair and the others immediately headed inside. They wanted to bring out Young Master Zhou to expose Xu Hao's true colors.
Xu Hao wasn't in a hurry. He casually found a table in the corner and sat down. Earlier, in the banquet hall, surrounded by big shots, Xiao Lan didn't dare to eat much, even with Xu Hao accompanying her, having only a few bites. She was still somewhat hungry.
Now, under the encouraging gaze of Xu Hao, she no longer felt afraid and slowly started eating.
Meanwhile.
Zhou Huasheng was chatting with a group of young masters and ladies.
Zhou Jiandong was currently plotting a coup, a fact well known among the upper echelons of Huadu society, but nobody talked about it.
Since ancient times, the victor becomes king, and as for the Zhou family, whether Zhou Changcun or Zhou Jiandong won in the end, it didn't matter much to them. It would just mean a change in their partner for cooperation.
However, they could use this opportunity to ingratiate themselves with Zhou Huasheng, especially since Zhou Jiandong's chances of winning were visibly higher than Zhou Changcun's.
At that moment, Yellow Hair and his group approached and whispered a few words in Zhou Huasheng's ear.
Zhou Huasheng immediately perked up, "There's someone who says I wouldn't dare to snatch the woman he brought? Take me to see, I'm very curious to know who is so audacious. Although Zhou Huasheng may not stoop to snatching other's women, I will not tolerate being looked down upon for no reason."
Xu Hao had mentioned 'dare not snatch', not 'will not snatch', which immediately riled up Zhou Huasheng. Who dared to be so bold as to disregard him?
His father was in the midst of seizing power, and he too needed to assert his authority.
Yellow Hair immediately echoed, "Exactly, even Young Master Wu wouldn't talk to you like that, Master Huasheng. That kid must be clueless, not knowing the deterrent power of Huadu's Four Great Families."
Zhou Huasheng stood up, and several youths immediately got up with him as everyone laughingly said, "Since Young Master Zhou wants to see this arrogant person, let's all go together. Apart from that incredibly powerful Xu Hao, no madman has appeared in Huadu recently. We also want to see who it is."
