The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Chapter 1666 1669: Is Xu Hao Too Cold-Hearted?

Alger snorted coldly, "Xu Hao, your attempt to sow discord is useless, because the three of us would never betray the Shi Family. When we set foot on the Huaya Continent, our interests were already bound to the Shi Family. Unless we no longer want to survive in Huaya, we would never go against the Shi Family."

Shi Changdong sneered even more, "Xu Hao, your tactics to create discord are too low-level. I've never seen someone as foolish as you. Do you think your few words can drive a wedge between us? Don't be ridiculous! Listen to my father's words, kid, and get lost, or else we'll show you what cruelty really means!"

Shi Changdong suddenly frowned slightly, asking, "You people couldn't have stopped here for no reason. Did you encounter danger up ahead?"

Xu Hao chuckled lightly, "Yes, it's very dangerous up ahead, extremely dangerous. Even we don't dare to move forward here."

Xu Hao's words immediately confused Shi Changdong, who initially thought there was danger here.

Is he saying there's danger to make me back off?

Shi Changdong, a bit worried, said to Shi Ran, "Father, could it be that there's significant danger here?"

Alger snorted coldly, saying, "He's trying to scare us. In reality, there's no danger here!"

Shi Ran chuckled softly, saying, "Haven't you understood yet? Xu Hao is intentionally saying this because he knows we're not fools. The only reason he's saying this is because there's indeed danger here. Xu Hao is extremely cunning, trying to make us think there's no danger, when in fact, there's actually great danger."

Xu Hao immediately viewed Shi Ran with newfound respect. Shi Changdong was at the first level, Alger was at the second level, but unexpectedly Shi Ran was at the third level. This old fellow is not easy to deal with!

Shi Ran noticed the subtle change in Xu Hao's facial expression and sneered, "You think you can fool me? Don't even dream about it! Have someone go ahead and scout. Dead or alive, I'll give them and their family ten million Huaya Currency!"

As soon as he said this, several people immediately stepped forward, ready to act as the vanguard.

Xu Hao looked at these people with interest, asking, "These aren't from your Shi Family, right? Where did you find people willing to risk their lives like this?"

Xu Hao had no interest in rescuing these people. Everyone is just trying to survive. They chose this path for their own reasons. Xu Hao is not a saint and won't help people for no reason as that would only invite trouble.

Shi Ran sneered, "Some money can solve anything. As long as you're willing to spend, you'll have a line of people eager to risk their lives for you."

He casually picked a frail man, who then trembled as he walked forward.

Zhou Shuran suddenly said softly to Xu Hao, "Xu Hao, you have so much money, give them some so they don't have to do these dangerous things? I don't want to see lives lost innocently before my eyes."

Xu Hao said blandly, "I don't know them. Why should I give them money? Just because I have money? Was my money just blown in by the wind? Besides, do you believe that if you save them, you'll land yourself in trouble?"

Zhou Shuran glared at Xu Hao indignantly, "You're just too cold-blooded!"

Xu Hao gave a bitter smile, noncommittal to Zhou Shuran's words. This girl was still too naive, having seen too little of human malice.

As the man walked four or five meters ahead and extended an arm, a powerful force surged towards him, threatening to devour him!

At that moment, Zhou Shuran couldn't help herself. She reached out and, with an unseen large hand, saved the man. But even so, his hand was mangled by the strong force.

Shi Ran snorted, "Exploration failed, no payment."

The man was instantly furious, clenching his fists as if he was going to explode.

Zhou Shuran was even angrier, "Shi Ran, are you even human? Someone risked their life to scout for you, and you go back on your word?"

Shi Ran snorted, "Did I ask you to save him? If I could save him, why wouldn't I do it myself? Since you've intervened, the scouting task remains incomplete. Why should I pay him?"

Zhou Shuran was at a loss for words. She didn't know what to say, as Shi Ran's reasoning seemed sound.

But she vaguely felt that Shi Ran's argument wasn't quite right.

The man also shouted angrily at Zhou Shuran, "Why did you save me?! Now I've lost a hand, and I haven't received a cent. How am I supposed to live in the future? You owe me money!"

If he weren't aware that he wasn't Zhou Shuran's match, he might have rushed to hit her.

But even though he wasn't Zhou Shuran's match, he continued to shout at her angrily, as if she had ruined his life.
