Chapter 227 - You Are Not Even an Ant
The neighbors remembered Jiang Hao's kindness. Seeing him threatened, some couldn't just stand by!
As Huang Mao lifted his iron rod to strike,
“Stop!”
A neighbor, unable to watch, bellowed, flung open his door, and emerged with a shovel in hand!
Simultaneously, Jiang Hao's front door burst open. A shoe flew out like a swift blade.
Before anyone could react, it struck Huang Mao on the back of the head.
“Crack!”
With that sound, Huang Mao collapsed to the ground, still.
The sudden turn of events left everyone momentarily stunned, then filled with alarm.
“Creak, creak...”
Just then, the creak of an old wooden door drew all eyes. They turned toward the source of the sound.
The door swung wide, and Jiang Hao stepped out, the picture of composure.
Following him were Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt Jiang Zixuan, the Old Master, his grandmother, and Jiang Jingyi.
Seeing Jiang Hao, the neighbors gripped their shovels and hoes tighter, casting wary glances at Jiang Daloong.
Jiang Daloong himself was taken aback by the sight.
He scanned the crowd, seeing the villagers he once bullied now glaring back at him, farm tools in hand, their stares unwavering.
The sight sent a chill through him and his henchmen.
He then cast a scornful glance at Jiang Daloong's henchmen.
“And as for these minor players, your assistance won't be necessary!”
Jiang Hao's declaration sent waves of anger through Jiang Daloong and his crew, while the onlookers gasped in astonishment.
“Hao Hao, don't overdo it!”
“Exactly, they outnumber you!”
...
But just then, Jiang Hao raised his hand, silencing the well-meaning cautions.
“Jiang Daloong, remember, there's always a bigger fish. You may think you're the king here, but to me, you're less than an ant!”
“Bring it on! Today, I'll show you how it's done!”
...
Anxiety rippled through the crowd behind Jiang Hao, their eyes turning to the Old Master in a silent plea.
“Old Master, please, talk some sense into Hao Hao!”
“How can Hao Hao take them on by himself?”
“Indeed! Old Master Jiang!”
...
Yet, amidst the frantic concern, the Old Master's expression was one of serene confidence.
“Let Hao Hao deal with this on his own.”
At those words, everyone's worry turned to disbelief, wondering if the Old Master had lost his mind!
