Universe’s Ultimate BOSS

Chapter 311: Chapter 310 Hit and Run

Tianma Star, Sky Sword Villa.

This was an ancient, scenic estate constructed against the backdrop of a mountain.

As Wang Hao drew near, he felt an overwhelming Sword Qi surging towards the heavens.

Gu Yang proudly introduced, “Marshal, our Gu family has been forging and practicing swordsmanship here for generations, which is why this towering Sword Qi has formed unconsciously.”

Wang Hao nodded; he had read that while Sky Sword Villa may not compare to the top five forces of the Interstellar Federation, its profound heritage alone could rank it as a first-class power.

Just then, a middle-aged man who bore a striking resemblance to Gu Yang, walked out of the villa with a hearty laugh, “Haha, Marshal, your esteemed visit honors us; I regret not having greeted you from farther away!”

...

Gu Yang hurriedly introduced, “Marshal, this is my father, Gu Jian, and also the best swordsmith in the Interstellar Federation.”

“The best swordsmith? I dare not claim such the title; there are many stronger than me,” Gu Jian replied humbly.

“Stop the chatter; let’s hurry up and eat!” Xiangxiang stared at Gu Jian with eager eyes, swallowing continuously.

“Haha, alright, let’s eat first.” Gu Jian laughed heartily, as he took a liking to this unpretentious young girl.

Suddenly, a cold snort came from the sky, “Wang Hao, you cannot escape. Hand over the treasure you found in the relics immediately.”

Wang Hao turned to look and saw President’s son Liao Yunchuan flying rapidly towards them with several hundred people.

Gu Jian’s eyebrows knitted together as he sensed the situation becoming tricky.

Wang Hao was their guest, and it was his duty to protect him.

But the newcomer was the son of the President—how should he handle saving face?

While Gu Jian was in a quandary, Gu Yang stepped forward and bowed to Liao Yunchuan, “It turns out Mr. Liao has graced us with his presence; we haven’t greeted you from afar, so please do enter the villa quickly. We at Sky Sword Villa would be honored to extend our warm hospitality to you all.”

Gu Jian nodded in relief; though his younger son might not be as talented as his elder brother, he certainly had a way with people.

Now that the pleasantries were exchanged, surely Liao Yunchuan wouldn’t slap a smiling face!

If it did come to blows, then even if they from Sky Sword Villa were to act, the President’s residence wouldn’t have grounds for objection—after all, their younger generation didn’t demonstrate propriety!

“Haha, what a lively place this is!”

At the sound, everyone turned to look and saw Old Man Jian, with a young man by his side, walking out from the villa.

Wang Hao observed the young man beside Jian Taifeng, who emanated an aura sharp like a finely honed sword, exuding an impression of a bright future.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this person was Gu Yang’s elder brother, the Sword Dao genius Gu Ye, and the closely kept disciple of Jian Taifeng.

As Wang Hao appraised Gu Ye, Gu Ye was also taking his measure.

When their gazes crossed, it was as if two bolts of lightning collided in the void, with Sword Qi bursting forth around them instantly.

Jian Taifeng patted Gu Ye’s head and smiled, “Little Ye, restrain your Sword Qi. You can’t be his match before you comprehend the Unity of Heaven and Man.”

“Yes, Master!” Gu Ye nodded, and the Sword Qi around him suddenly dissipated.

However, Gu Ye’s gaze remained fixed on Wang Hao, filled with the urge to step forward and challenge him.

“Are you Senior Jian!?” Liao Yunchuan asked Jian Taifeng, probing.

Jian Taifeng shook his head, looking bewildered, “Senior Jian? Who is that? I am just an ordinary old man.”

“An ordinary old man!?” The faces of those present darkened. Did this old man think they were all blind? A simple sentence had deflated Gu Ye’s temper; was that something an ordinary old man could do?

Then, at that moment, Jian Taifeng stumbled against Liao Yunchuan and fell to the ground, crying out pitifully, “Ouch, do these young fellows nowadays not watch where they are going? Can’t they see an old man?!”

Everyone’s eyelids twitched. This act of scamming was seriously lacking in standards, wasn’t it?

Liao Yunchuan took a deep breath and respectfully said, “Senior, I don’t have any valuables on me…”

“Who wants your valuables!?” Jian Taifeng interrupted, “Hurry up and pay up, and if you don’t pay, don’t even think about leaving today. I’ll have you know, I have connections with the Tianma Star police department…”

The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched. Could this senior have any shame? He was outright bullying the younger generation!

Gu Jian massaged his temples, thinking to himself that perhaps this was the mindset of a strong individual who, invincibly lonely, had seen through the fame and fortune of the world and was just playing with the mortals.

But to swindle money from the younger generation so shamelessly, was that really something a noble and learned senior should do?

Wang Hao sneered, “Jeez, Old Man Jian, with this level of skill, you’re really bringing shame to the swindlers’ community!”

Jian Taifeng looked up at Wang Hao, unable to help himself from asking, “Then what would be considered not shameful?”

Wang Hao said earnestly, “If it were me, I would say I’m fine and let him go. Knowing that he was in the wrong and encountering such generosity, he would naturally take off running. But once he’s gone, I would call the police and report him for hit-and-run. That way, not only do you get more compensation, but you can also do it without anyone being able to fault you.”

“Brilliant, brilliant, truly brilliant!” Jian Taifeng looked at Wang Hao with admiration. Lately, with nothing to do, he had been exploring the depths of shamelessness.

He thought he had been shameless enough to make a fortune through swindling, but after meeting Wang Hao, he realized that there were always higher mountains beyond his own and that one could always learn to be more despicable.

“All these are trifles,” Wang Hao said, waving his hand, “Remember to give me half of the money you get from this swindle, as my consulting fee.”

Jian Taifeng nodded, then waved Liao Yunchuan off, “Boy, I’m fine, you can go.”

“Pfft…”

The onlookers burst into laughter; this old man was too shameless! He didn’t even have a bit of the dignity expected from a wise elder!

Liao Yunchuan’s face turned completely black. Dare he leave now? If he left, the police would grab him immediately for hit-and-run, and then by tomorrow, all the newspapers would carry the story. How could he ever show his face again?

“Hey, Wang Hao, kid, what do I do if this guy refuses to leave!?” Jian Taifeng yelled at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao took out a camera, “Old Man Jian, strike a pitiful pose for me to take a picture, and I’ll publish it at my media company. I’ve already thought of the headline: ‘President’s Son Assaults Lonely Old Man Without Cause, Is This the Decay of Morals or the Distortion of Humanity?’”

“This is good…” Jian Taifeng clapped his hands excitedly, grabbed Liao Yunchuan’s foot and placed it on his chest, then made a face full of panic and fear.

Seeing this scene, everyone present gave Liao Yunchuan a sympathetic look. Confronted with these two shameless individuals working together, it seemed Liao Yunchuan wouldn’t be able to avert disaster without losing some money…
