Chapter 340: 340
The hotel manager was sitting in a chair looking at his phone when he saw Wang Hao walk straight toward him without checking in at the front desk, so he quickly got up to meet him.
"Sir, how may I assist you?"
The hotel manager had a professional smile on his face.
"I’m Wang Hao!"
Wang Hao said coldly, without saying anything else.
But as soon as Wang Hao stated his name, the hotel manager’s face changed immediately, and the smile on his face froze as if he was very uneasy about Wang Hao’s presence.
However, being a hotel manager, of course, he had his way with things and quickly changed his expression back.
"So you are Wang Hao, I’ve heard a lot about you. May I know if you are here to stay or to dine today? I will offer you a discount either way!"
The hotel manager said with a persistent smile.
"I’m here to see Xing Hua!"
Wang Hao said bluntly.
"This..."
The hotel manager said with an awkward smile.
"It’s a great honor for Wang Hao to visit our establishment, Xing Hua would definitely be thrilled, but unfortunately, An Xinghua is not in today, he left early in the morning and probably won’t return today, how about you come another day to meet him?"
Wang Hao scoffed coldly; the more Xing Hua avoided meeting him, the more it meant Xing Hua definitely had an issue.
"Stop talking nonsense and call Xing Hua out!"
Wang Hao’s words were icy, leaving no room for negotiation.
And he said it so loudly that everyone in the main hall heard it.
The surrounding guests, not knowing what was happening, all turned their attention to this side.
At this moment, the hotel manager was extremely embarrassed, and the two security guards by the door also came over.
But knowing Wang Hao’s identity, the hotel manager gave the security guards a look, signaling them not to intervene in this matter.
"How about this!"
The hotel manager continued to stall.
"Wang Hao, you see, there are many entertaining places under Xing Hua’s management—karaoke, dance halls, game rooms... You can play whatever you want, and all expenses will be on us, how does that sound?"
"Don’t waste any more words with me!"
Wang Hao glared at the hotel manager and said.
"Call Xing Hua out now, or I will tear down your hotel today!"
Wang Hao’s words again expressed no willingness to negotiate.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the hall tightened, and everyone could feel Wang Hao’s formidable presence.
Some of the more timid guests, sensing that something was amiss, quickly left to find other accommodations.
The hotel manager couldn’t help but frown; with just a few words, Wang Hao nearly left him breathless, and now quite a few people had already left the hall.
If he really let him continue causing trouble like this, it wasn’t impossible that he would actually demolish the hotel.
"Fine, but I need to first inform Xing Hua about this matter."
The hotel manager hurriedly walked into the office to make a call, but soon came out to tell Wang Hao.
"Wang Hao, Xing Hua will be here shortly. Please, go to his office and rest for a while!"
After speaking, the hotel manager smiled and gestured for Wang Hao and He Peng to please proceed.
"Should have done this in the first place!"
Wang Hao walked into the elevator with a sullen face.
But as Wang Hao and He Peng walked past the hotel manager, a sly smile crossed the manager’s face, and he gestured to the two security guards behind Wang Hao’s back.
Soon, Wang Hao and He Peng arrived at the office on the top floor of the hotel.
"Please come in!"
The hotel manager opened the office door for Wang Hao and He Peng to enter and quickly handed Wang Hao a cup of freshly brewed premium Dahongpao tea.
The Dahongpao tea had a vibrant color, with a bright red hue, indicating that it was of high quality.
"Please have some tea, Xing Hua will be here shortly!"
The hotel manager passed another cup to He Peng.
Wang Hao savored the aromatic and piping hot Da Hong Pao, his lips unwittingly curving into a slight smile as he glanced at the hotel manager.
The tea was brewed far too quickly, clearly prepared in advance, there must be something wrong with it.
But Wang Hao didn’t hesitate to lift the cup and take a sip, not fearing the scalding heat, he gulped down half of it.
Seeing Wang Hao drink, He Peng thought there shouldn’t be any issues with the tea and prepared to follow suit.
Who would have expected Wang Hao to snatch the teacup from He Peng’s hand and drink it dry in one go?
"Sorry, I was just too thirsty, consider this an emergency!"
Wang Hao smiled at He Peng after putting down the cup.
He Peng suddenly felt something was off—the tea must have been tampered with. But if there was an issue, why would Wang Hao still drink it? What if An Xinghua had poisoned it?
"Hahaha..."
As expected, upon seeing Wang Hao finish the tea, the hotel manager burst out laughing and said.
"The rumors of your might, Wang Hao, seem overstated; you’re just a pus-filled sore. You drank the whole cup despite the tea obviously being tainted. Should I praise your intelligence or your stupidity?"
"Intestinal Breaker poison? That’s somewhat interesting. Who still plays these old tricks nowadays?"
Wang Hao shook his head, resigned.
"Yes, the Intestinal Breaker poison. You’ll experience its ferocity soon enough as it tears through your gut and you drop dead."
The hotel manager spoke with arrogant pride.
"Brother An Xinghua always said how tough you are to deal with, but to me, this seemed very easy, like squashing an ant."
"If I kill you today, Brother An Xinghua will surely promote me, so I guess I have to thank you, pus-filled sore, for coming and delivering your head to me!"
The hotel manager became more and more arrogant, his visage growing ferocious.
Wang Hao paid no mind to the hotel manager’s words and poured himself another cup of tea, leisurely drinking away on his own.
He Peng stood by, completely stunned. Had the poison scrambled Wang Hao’s brains? He knew the tea was poisoned with the Intestinal Breaker, yet he kept drinking it.
Suddenly, He Peng began to doubt whether Wang Hao was as fierce as the rumors claimed. Perhaps he really was a fool.
Seeing Wang Hao’s actions, the hotel manager seemed to realize something and shuddered all over.
"You... how did you know I used Intestinal Breaker poison?"
The hotel manager couldn’t help but ask.
"I knew there was poison in this tea before I drank it, but I drank it anyway. Did you truly think I was so foolish as to come here and let you kill me?"
Wang Hao really worried for the hotel manager’s intelligence.
"Impossible, that’s the Intestinal Breaker poison, one of the deadliest toxins!"
The hotel manager’s face turned pale in an instant.
"What if I told you I am immune to all poisons?"
Wang Hao retorted.
What? Immune to all poisons?
He Peng could hardly believe his ears.
If someone else had said it, He Peng would have scoffed at them for spouting nonsense, but it came from Wang Hao’s mouth. Moreover, Wang Hao had just drunk poisonous tea without any adverse effects. freewebnσvel.cøm
This forced him to believe that what Wang Hao said was true.
The hotel manager, too, was so shocked he was lost for words. It was entirely impossible.
Being immune to all poisons was a trope only found in martial arts novels; how could it exist in the real world? He just couldn’t accept it no matter what.
Not only could he not believe it, but according to common sense, Wang Hao should have died from the poison by now.
Yet there was Wang Hao, sitting comfortably on the sofa drinking tea, perfectly fine.
It was an occurrence that simply shouldn’t be possible.
"An Xinghua, you’ve been hiding and watching for so long, it’s time for you to come out!"
Wang Hao suddenly spoke these inexplicable words.
"Truly worthy of being Wang Hao!"
As soon as Wang Hao finished speaking, the office door was pushed open, and there stood An Xinghua at the entrance.
