C32 – He Was Ambushed

That evening when Jiang Hao got home, he decided not to inform his parents about the house just yet.

“I’ll unveil the surprise on dad’s birthday in three days!”

The following morning saw Jiang Hao heading to school, backpack in tow.

“With my current abilities, school seems unnecessary. Maybe I should skip it and just show up for the college entrance exam?”

As this thought crossed his mind, he turned a corner and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, causing his body to stiffen.

He sensed imminent danger.

Looking up, he saw a wooden stick rapidly approaching him.

In a split second, as the stick was about to strike him.

Jiang Hao’s reflexes kicked in. He instinctively reached out, catching the descending stick. With his other hand, he balled it into a fist and thrust it forward with full force.

“Bang!”

“Ah!”

With a distressing scream, a figure was hurled by Jiang Hao, landing some six to seven meters away, before slamming into a wall and halting.

In that instant, the scene before Jiang Hao became clear.

After some time, a heart-wrenching cry echoed. In its aftermath, only Jiang Hao remained standing with eight figures sprawled around him.

Jiang Hao cast a glance at the eight individuals he had swiftly overpowered and let out a smile.

“Having a sense of impending danger is truly invaluable!”

Jiang Hao took pride in his Level-2 danger awareness. However, seeing the eight ruffians writhing in pain, his expression darkened slightly.

He then approached their leader, knelt beside him, and inquired,

“Young man, we have no prior enmity. Why target me?”

The young man clutched his belly, tears streaming, yet he remained silent.

But Jiang Hao wasn’t one for sympathy. Grinning, he remarked,

“Choosing not to speak? I’ll ensure you do.”

With that, he landed another blow to the young ruffian’s midsection.

“Agh!”

That strike nearly made the ruffian regurgitate stomach acids!

“Speak now, or I’ll make sure you never walk again!”

Jiang Hao then grabbed a wooden rod from the vicinity, positioning it menacingly against the ruffian’s groin. The sight sent shivers down the young man’s spine.
