Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 220: 220

Wu Jianzhong’s expression changed dramatically when he saw Wang Hao step forward, and he glared at him fiercely.

"This is a matter between the Wu Family and the Wen Family, you country bumpkin better roll back to where you came from, and stop sticking your nose into other people’s business!"

Wu Jianzhong said without any civility.

All the guests turned their gazes towards Wang Hao, their faces full of disdain.

"The jade from the Wen Family was chosen by me, so I should have the right to bet with Young Master Wu, what do you say? Do you dare to wager with me?"

Wang Hao spoke, utterly disregarding the looks from around him.

A hint of disbelief flashed across Wu Jianzhong’s eyes as he stood there, speechless. freeweɓnovel.cøm

"He really thinks too highly of himself, daring to bet with Young Master Wu, such an overestimation of his own ability!"

"Exactly, who knows which village this foolish boy walked out of, completely ignorant of his own limits, he won’t even know how he lost later on."

The guests whispered among themselves, every word and sentence laced with mockery towards Wang Hao.

"Grandfather Wen, the person you brought is really unacquainted with the rules, our betting round isn’t even finished and he’s rushing to bet with me, without weighing his own worth!"

Wu Jianzhong, hearing the guests’ comments leaning towards him, began to mock Wen Yonglin.

"If you’re too embarrassed to act, let me teach this kid a lesson for you!"

Wen Yonglin’s brows furrowed slightly, just as he was about to stand up and discipline Wu Jianzhong, suddenly Wang Hao held him back.

"What’s the matter?"

Wang Hao stood up and spoke slowly.

"Could it be that our Young Master Wu is afraid of losing to me, not daring to make the bet?"

At these words, the entire room fell into sudden silence.

This kid was way too arrogant!

An unknown rural peasant daring to challenge Wu Jianzhong, the Young Master of the Wu Family, and even declaring war in front of so many people.

Wu Jianzhong himself was stunned, hardly believing his own ears. In the whole of Zao City, no one had ever dared to threaten him like this.

Immediately, Wu Yangming’s expression also turned sour.

"You brat, what are you saying?"

Wu Jianzhong roared at Wang Hao, enraged.

Wu Yangming also snorted coldly at this moment, throwing a disdainful glance at Wen Yonglin.

Wen Yonglin was taken aback by Wang Hao’s actions, never expecting the usually quiet Wang Hao would suddenly challenge Wu Jianzhong, and worried in his heart whether Wang Hao could win.

But seeing Wu Yangming’s face turn gloomy, he felt an immense sense of satisfaction, and even wanted to snicker a little.

Wang Hao had indeed avenged the Wen Family.

"I spoke so clearly, can’t you understand?"

Wang Hao said with a scornful laugh.

"As one of the three great families of Zao City, the Wu Family wouldn’t be afraid to bet with a farmer from the countryside, would they?"

"Who said we’re afraid of you, you hick?"

Wu Jianzhong said angrily.

"Ha! If you’re not afraid, why do you keep postponing and not daring to bet with me? Could there be some other unspeakable reason?"

Upon hearing this, the guests felt that Wang Hao’s words made sense. If they were not afraid of Wang Hao, why wouldn’t Wu Jianzhong accept his challenge? Could it indeed be, as Wang Hao suggested, that there were other secrets they couldn’t reveal?

Observing the changing expressions of the crowd, Wu Jianzhong lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

"Fine! I’ll bet, but what will you do if you lose?"

Wu Jianzhong asked fiercely.

Born into this illustrious family, what they valued most was face.

In front of so many people, if Wu Jianzhong refused Wang Hao’s challenge, surely everyone would say the Wu Family was scared of a peasant; how could they face anyone after that?

Having accepted Wang Hao’s challenge, everyone’s eyes once again turned to Wang Hao.

"That’s easy, if I lose, I’ll leave my fate to you, Young Master Wu of the Wu Family!"

Wang Hao said it lightly.

"Fine, if you lose, we’ll gouge out your eyes. Who told you to look down on people with your ’dog eyes’!"

Wu Jianzhong said with a ferocious smile on his face.

The guests took a sharp intake of breath upon hearing Wu Jianzhong’s words. This young master of the Wu Family was too cruel. It was just a gamble on stones, yet he wanted to gouge out someone’s eyes—clearly, he intended to put someone to death.

Even Wen Yonglin trembled inwardly, looking at Wu Jianzhong in disbelief.

"Young people sure know how to have fun. Back in our youth, we never played stakes this high. But if you don’t go wild while you’re young, how can you achieve greatness?"

"As a man, of course, you must keep your promises!"

Wu Yangming’s words also implied his tacit approval of Wu Jianzhong’s actions.

Wen Yonglin silently prayed that Wang Hao wouldn’t come to harm because everyone knew that Wang Hao had been invited by him. If Wang Hao really had his eyes gouged out by Wu Jianzhong, then no one would dare to associate with the Wen Family in the future.

The Wu Family’s move was ruthless, also indirectly forcing the Wen Family to concede.

"Good, then it’s settled!"

Wang Hao agreed without hesitation and then asked Wu Jianzhong.

"What if you, Young Master Wu, lose?"

"Ha ha, me?"

Wu Jianzhong burst into laughter, glancing at Wang Hao with contempt.

"Our Wu Family lose?"

"The stone isn’t opened yet; everything is unknown. How can you be so sure you’ll win?"

Wang Hao said to all the guests at the banquet with a smile.

"Everyone is watching. The bet is a matter between the two of us. I’ve already made my wager. If the Wu Family doesn’t dare to place their bet soon, this wager won’t count!"

The guests nodded in agreement upon hearing this, feeling once more that Wang Hao made sense, and they all turned their eyes to Wu Jianzhong on the stage.

"Alright, you’re tough, kiddo!"

Wu Jianzhong, angry enough to explode, turned his head and gritted his teeth at the guests below the stage.

"If I lose, I’ll do the same as this kid and gouge out my own eyes!"

Everyone present was shocked. It seemed that this time Wu Jianzhong had met his match.

"That won’t be necessary!" freewebnovel.cσ๓

Wang Hao said, waving his hand after hearing this.

"You don’t need to be so harsh on yourself; you might not be able to get off the stage if it comes to that. If you lose, you just need to crawl on the ground and bark like a dog twice in front of everyone!"

"Wang Hao, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me, Wu Jianzhong?"

Wu Jianzhong roared in rage upon hearing this.

For Wu Jianzhong, Wang Hao’s action was a humiliation, and it was even more unbearable than killing him.

"I’m thinking of your well-being, to preserve your eyes!"

Wang Hao, however, acted completely innocent.

The guests seated around felt that the Wu Family was getting the better deal. If Wang Hao lost, he would lose his eyes, whereas if Wu Jianzhong lost, he would only need to bark like a dog twice, suffering no substantial loss.

What they didn’t know was how important face was to these large families.

"Young Master Wu, don’t get angry with the kid. Just open the stone. He will naturally know your power, so why waste time here with him!"

Jiang Hong hurriedly reminded Wu Jianzhong.

Being an appraiser invited by one of the three major families, Jiang Hong found himself overshadowed by Wang Hao throughout the banquet, with all eyes turned to Wang Hao, while he could only sit there in silence.

This made Jiang Hong very uncomfortable, so he too couldn’t wait to see Wang Hao with his eyes gouged out.

"Alright, let’s get to the practice that reveals true knowledge, and let the facts speak for us!"

Wu Jianzhong gave a cold laugh.

Following that, Jiang Hong echoed with a statement.

"Wang Hao, this time we shall see how you die!"
