Chapter 164 - I Gave You Two Options

Lee Xuan's body seized up as he caught sight of the chopsticks that had nearly impaled his hand, a shiver running through him. When he reluctantly turned his gaze toward Jiang Hao, a calm voice shattered the stillness.

“Lee Xuan, did I say you could leave?”

At those words, a cold terror gripped Lee Xuan.

He whirled around, dropping to his knees before Jiang Hao, kowtowing incessantly and shaking as he stammered out his apologies.

“Jiang Hao, please, in light of our three years as classmates, have mercy on me. I beg you, I'll never dare to cross you again!”

In that moment, his dignity was the last thing on his mind.

The onlookers murmured among themselves, witnessing the scene with a mix of pity and satisfaction.

Jiang Hao, however, looked down at the pitiful, tearful Lee Xuan, pleading for forgiveness, and remained utterly unaffected.

Such a scoundrel never learns his lesson.

Without a harsh reminder, he'll forget this as soon as he turns away.

Jiang Hao regarded Lee Xuan thoughtfully for a moment.

“Fine. Considering our three years together in the same class, I'll offer you two options.”

At this, Lee Xuan's desperation turned to eager anticipation, his eyes filled with hope as he looked up at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao then spoke, his tone measured and deliberate.

“First, you can take a punch from me, just like Team Leader Sun did. Survive that, and you're free to go.”

Lee Xuan's heart sank as Jiang Hao finished his sentence.

Could he withstand a punch from Jiang Hao?

“Whoosh!”

A gut-wrenching scream followed.

“Ah!”

The sound was so harrowing that it brought listeners to tears.

At that sight of Lee Xuan's condition, some of the more faint-hearted students were scared stiff, some nearly passing out.

The rest watched Jiang Hao with faces pale with fear, their eyes wide with terror.

Was this the same Jiang Hao they knew?

In their eyes, Jiang Hao had become the embodiment of cold-hearted ferocity.

Nearby, Lee Xuan, clutching his left hand, writhed on the ground, screaming in agony.

Jiang Hao's frown deepened as he issued a frosty command.

“Be quiet!”

In that instant, Lee Xuan's fear of Jiang Hao was bone-deep.

At Jiang Hao's rebuke, he immediately quieted down.

Even the other students were visibly shaken by Jiang Hao's commanding shout.

With this, the furrows in Jiang Hao's brow eased.

He cast a glance at Lee Xuan and spoke with a detached tone.

“Take your severed finger and go to the hospital now; you might still be able to save it.

If you delay any further, you may lose that chance for good.”
