The Mightiest Little Peasant c1-799

by Watermelonian, 西瓜星人

  “Are you hurt, President Ling?”

  “Those Beck Corporation bastards are too brazen!”

  The managers of Tai An Group chattered among themselves after they got out of their cars.

  “I’m fine. Let’s go up!” Ling Wei said with a smile.

  The bodyguards instantly crowded around the group of people and escorted them into the building.

  Tang Hao hesitated for a while but eventually followed them anyway. He wanted to see Ling Wei to the end of her journey.

  The contract signing was in an office on the twelfth floor. They needed to go up by elevator.

  They waited in the elevator lobby.

  A janitor came over while pushing his cart.

  He did not catch anyone’s attention, especially because he was someone from Huaxia. The bodyguards glanced at him, then looked elsewhere.

  However, he suddenly moved into action when he drew near. He pushed the cart away and pounced.

  Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

  The bodyguards took out their stun batons and rushed forward.

  That person was unnaturally agile and strong. The bodyguards were either sent sprawling on the floor or shoved away.

  “Protect President Ling! Let me handle him!” Uncle Ming roared.

  Uncle Ming might be in his fifties, but he was stronger than the younger bodyguards. He was instantly caught up in an intense fight with that person.

  Uncle Ming was a lot stronger than normal people. However, that person was not normal.

  Uncle Ming soon received a kick and was sent flying.

  “Dammit! How could he be so strong?” Uncle Ming cursed as he got on his feet.

  That person lunged again, this time toward Ling Wei.

  The bodyguards that stood in his way were pushed aside. He was almost onto Ling Wei.

  Under his janitor’s cap was a vicious, grinning face. His eyes flashed with excitement.

  “Careful!” Uncle Ming shouted. He looked immensely worried.

  Ling Wei’s face turned pale and she stepped back several steps.

  The janitor smiled again. This time, his fists turned into claws and slashed at her.

  Suddenly, a figure intercepted him from the side. It was a teenager of about eighteen years old. He wore a cold smile on his handsome face.

  “You wolf cubs are a handful to deal with!”

  The janitor’s expression changed when he heard that.

  He was utterly shocked when he saw the silver gleam in Tang Hao’s hand. He immediately turned around and wanted to run away.

  Tang Hao grunted and slashed the silver sword at that person.

  Blood splashed out.

  The werewolf cried out in agony. His gaze toward Tang Hao was full of fear.

  His newfound opponent was evidently a cultivator and was a lot stronger than he was.

  He realized that he had no chance of escaping, so he immediately kneeled on the floor. “Don’t kill me, I surrender! Hey, someone call the police to arrest me!”

  He knew that a turned werewolf like him would suffer a fate worse than death under a cultivator. He would rather go to jail.

  Everyone was shocked when they saw that.

  ‘What’s going on?

  ‘Wasn’t that guy extremely ferocious earlier? Why is he suddenly kneeling and begging for mercy?’

  Tang Hao was also taken aback. He did not expect that person to be such a coward.

  He was speechless as he sheathed his silver short sword.

  Uncle Ming looked at Tang Hao in utter shock. He could see that the janitor was incredibly afraid of that kid.

  ‘This is so uncanny. Just who is that kid?’ He thought.

  “Let me ask you. Is there anyone else upstairs?” Tang Hao interrogated him.

  “No… No…” The werewolf shook his head like a rattle.

  “Everyone else, it’s safe to go up! I have some questions for this guy!” Tang Hao turned to speak to Ling Wei and the rest.

  They hesitated for a while, then rode the elevator upstairs while leaving a few bodyguards behind.

  “Let me ask you, where is your leader?” Tang Hao crouched and asked coldly.

  “He’s… in his office,” the werewolf said timidly.

  “Where is your office?”

  “Great River Plaza! The company is on the top few floors, and the boss’s office is on the top floor.”

  “Alright, I don’t have any use for you now. Remember, be a good boy and go with the police!” Then, Tang Hao got up and handed the person to the bodyguards.

  He left the building and dashed toward Great River Plaza.

  He was incensed about the earlier incident. Beck Corporation had been too brazen. He could not tolerate foreigners running rampant in Huaxia.

  In about ten minutes, his car arrived at the entrance of Great River Plaza.

  He rode on the elevator and went to the top floor.

  When the elevator doors opened, he saw two burly Westerners standing at the door.

  “Stop!” They yelled at Tang Hao when they saw him.

  Tang Hao did not hold back. With a flick of his wrist, two silver throwing knives flew from his hand and pierced the men’s shoulders. Then, he kicked the door open.

  Beyond the door was a wide room in which sat many Westerners. They heard the sound of the door being kicked open and turned around to see.

  They burst out laughing when they saw the intruder.

  Did someone dare to challenge the wolf den all by himself?

  “You must be tired of living, kid!”

  A black Westerner stepped forward while rubbing his fists. When he got near, he punched at Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao narrowed his eyes. He flicked his wrist and a silver short sword appeared in his hand. He pierced it at the fist.

  “Ahhhhh!” The Westerner cried in agony and his eyes opened wide with fear.

  “Silver! It’s silver!” He screamed.

  Everyone was shocked. Then, they became furious and pounced at Tang Hao.

  “Kill him!”

  “Tear him to shreds!”

  The werewolves roared savagely. They had all gone berserk.

  Tang Hao grunted coldly.

  Those mixed-blood werewolves were nothing more than garbage and cannon fodder in his eyes.

  He flicked his left wrist and another silver short sword appeared in his left hand. Bright red blood splashed every time the silver swords were brought down upon the werewolves’ bodies. The agonized cries and howls of wolves did not cease.

  A while later, only a figure was left standing in the room.

  All the werewolves were sprawled on the floor. They were badly injured and wailing in pain.

  Tang Hao continued walking inside and kicked open the door.

  In the room beyond the door was a tall and burly Westerner with blond hair and blue eyes. He currently wore a ghastly expression on his face.

  “So, you’re Beck Jr.?”

  “Who are you then?”

  “Is that important?” Tang Hao smirked.

  Beck Jr. smirked too. “I haven’t seen anyone challenge the Beck family so brazenly! You must be tired of living!”

  With a roar, he transformed and dashed toward Tang Hao.

  Clink! Clank! Clink!

  The sounds of sword against claw resonated in the room.

  Beck Jr. was from the Beck family and was a pureblood werewolf. His strength was far greater than half-bloods and mixed-bloods.

  Tang Hao was no match for him in melee combat.

  However, Tang Hao had sorcery to aid him, which gained him an advantage over Beck Jr.

  Tang Hao coated his silver sword with lightning. Every time the sword struck the werewolf, his body twitched and he had to retreat.

  Bam!

  Beck Jr. was sent flying with a kick and fell onto the office table. He tried to get up on his feet when Tang Hao pointed the sword at his throat.

  His entire body trembled and dared not to move a muscle.

 
His heart was filled with panic.

  “Listen to me closely. Get out of Huaxia now. Don’t ever let me see you in my country ever again!”

  Tang Hao said coldly. He sheathed his sword, turned around, and left.

  Chapter 255 - Student Gathering

  Tang Hao immediately went home after leaving Great River Plaza.

  The contract signing went smoothly, and Ling Wei did not require any further help from him.

  He had already given his ultimatum to the Westerners. He would not grant them any mercy if they did not listen to him.

  He arrived at the entrance to his residential area about twenty minutes later.

  Suddenly, his car shook violently.

  Tang Hao was shocked. He immediately got down and inspected his car. All four tires were badly worn. The rim of one of the front tires was misshapen.

  “Looks like I’ll have to change them!” He mumbled.

  The car was just a normal Audi and not made out of some exotic material. It could not withstand such abuse.

  Last time, he sped the car from Provincial City to Mao Mountain in Province J. Earlier, he had sped madly toward Great River Plaza. It was already a feat that the tires lasted that long.

  He drove the car slowly to a workshop.

  He left the car there for repairs and went home.

  He received a call from Ling Wei just as he stepped into his apartment.

  “Where are you?”

  “I went home! How are things? Were there any more problems?” Tang Hao said.

  “Everything went fine. We managed to sign the contract!” Ling Wei’s tone of voice was celebratory. “It’s all thanks to you. We wouldn’t have managed to sign the contract otherwise.”

  “Don’t mention it!”

  “We’ll be holding a party at noon. You should come too!”

  “Well… there’s no need to!” Tang Hao hesitated for a while and eventually declined the invitation. He was not from Tai An Group, and he did not think it was appropriate for him to be there. Furthermore, he had to attend classes at the university that afternoon.

  Ling Wei was disappointed. “Well… I’ll treat you to lunch another day then!”

  After the call ended, Tang Hao gathered his textbooks and went to Z University.

  There were only three periods of Teacher Jiang’s classes that afternoon.

  The classroom immediately boiled over with excitement when Tang Hao arrived.

  “You’re finally back in class, Tang Hao!”

  “You’re here, Brother Hao!”

  All the classmates, no matter male or female, were excited when they saw Tang Hao. The boys crowded around Tang Hao after he sat down.

  “You’ve been absent for more than a week, Brother Hao. Where were you?”

  “Idiot! Brother Hao is a big boss. Of course he’s busy with work! Do you think he’s on the same level as us?”

  Cao Fei bounded over. “Are you free tonight, Brother Hao?”

  Tang Hao was surprised. “What’s up?” He asked.

  “It’s like this, Brother Hao. There’s a party at Blue Sky Hotel tonight. Actually, all the attendees are all First High alumni from our year.

  “It’s more like a gathering. We’re just gathering over some alcohol and gossip so that we can further our friendship with each other!”

  Tang Hao furrowed his brows. “There’s no meaning to that!”

  He did not think that there was a point to such student gatherings. Furthermore, he did not know many students from his year, and he did not have a good relationship with those classmates.

  It would be trouble if he met those people there.

  “Eh, Brother Hao, you should go!” Cao Fei tried to persuade him.

  “Why are you so enthusiastic?” Tang Hao was a little taken aback.

  “It’s all because of Beauty Queen Liu. The gathering is hosted by one of my classmates. His brother owns Blue Sky Hotel.

  “He knows that Beauty Queen Liu is currently attending Z University, and he’s asking me to invite her. I don’t think Beauty Queen Liu will accept my invitation though! You’ll have to help me, Brother Hao!”

  Tang Hao raised an eyebrow. “That classmate of yours is pretty loaded!”

  “Isn’t that so! He’s quite famous for being rich. His name is Li Zhengtao, you should have heard of him before. His dad is a famous businessman in Westridge District!”

  “Li Zhengtao?” Tang Hao mumbled and displayed a curious expression.

  Indeed, he had heard of that name before.

  “Alright, I’ll go then! However, I can’t promise that I’ll be able to invite Liu Bingyao,” Tang Hao said.

  Cao Fei instantly looked ecstatic. “Hey! Everyone knows that Brother Hao can do anything! Beauty Queen Liu is very close to you. She will surely come.”

  Soon after that, the bell rang, signifying the start of the period.

  A beautiful figure stepped into the classroom. It was Teacher Jiang.

  Jiang Wanying was stunned when she saw Tang Hao, who was surrounded by a group of boys.

  However, her expression returned to normal, and classes soon started.

  At the end of the three periods, the students got up from their seats and prepared to leave.

  Suddenly, Jiang Wanying turned to address Tang Hao. “Tang Hao! Can you stay back for a bit? I have something to ask you.”

  The students were surprised, though they immediately understood. Tang Hao was absent for more than a week. It was normal for the teacher to be concerned.

  “I’ll wait for your good news, Brother Hao!” Cao Fei waved to Tang Hao, then left the classroom.

  Very soon, only Tang Hao and Jiang Wanying were left in the classroom.

  “Is there anything, Teacher Jiang?” Tang Hao asked as he walked to the front of the classroom.

  “Did the police look for you again?” Jiang Wanying lowered her voice.

  Tang Hao smiled. “Don’t worry, Teacher Jiang. The police aren’t suspecting me. Everything’s fine now!”

  “Really?” Jiang Wanying was not ready to believe him yet.

  She was still apprehensive, and she carried a worried expression on her face.

  “You don’t have to worry about me, Teacher Jiang. The police won’t be able to find any evidence. The case has gone cold now, and they won’t look for me again.”

  Jiang Wanying breathed a sigh of relief and her expression returned to normal.

  “That’s good to hear. I was worried that something happened to you!”

  Tang Hao said goodbye to Teacher Jiang, then left the classroom. He took out his phone and dialed Liu Bingyao’s number.

  “Hey! Are you already back, Tang Hao?” Liu Bingyao sounded excited over the phone.

  “Yup!” Tang Hao replied.

  “Is there anything?”

  “I just wanted to ask if you’re free tonight. Cao Fei is asking me to attend some high school gathering. Do you want to go together?” Tang Hao asked after hesitating for a while.

  “Hmm, I think Cao Fei asked me about that, but I rejected his invitation. Since you’re asking me to go, then I will have to go no matter what,” Liu Bingyao said happily. She even sounded eager.

  “Alright, it’s settled then. I’ll pick you up tonight.”

  “OK!” Liu Bingyao replied.

  In the evening, Tang Hao arrived at the female dormitory.

  It happened to be dinnertime. Many boys were standing there, evidently waiting for their girlfriends.

  One of the boys there attracted a lot of attention. He was tall and handsome, and he was dressed in an Armani suit. The black-framed glasses on his face made him look gentlemanly.

  He held a bouquet in his hands, and he stood in front of a Mercedes Benz.

  That figure was evidently a rich person.

  Girls who passed by him occasionally stole glances.

  Their gaze was eager. Some of them even looked infatuated.

  “Wow, look at him, he’s Council President Fang!”

 
“Council President Fang is so handsome!”

  Many girls shrieked excitedly.

  Chapter 256 - Friends From High School

  Many people gathered in front of the female dormitory.

  Girls who walked past, and also those who came out of the building fixed their gaze upon the handsome male who leaned on the Mercedes Benz.

  That boy was none other than Fang Qiming, the president of the student council.

  He was the Prince Charming of many girls’ dreams, having extraordinary looks, an elevated status, and a wealthy family background.

  After the excitement died down, many girls’ gazes flashed with envy.

  “Council President Fang must be here again because of her.”

  “Sigh! I don’t know what’s so good about her. If it were me, I’d agree to go out with him without hesitation!”

  The girls discussed among themselves indignantly.

  Tang Hao stood nearby. He stole a glance at Fang Qiming.

  ‘He should be popular among the girls!’ He thought.

  Then, he looked at his phone again. There was no news from Liu Bingyao.

  He placed the phone into his pocket and patiently waited.

  About seven minutes later, a beautiful figure appeared from the dormitory building.

  Her body was tall and curvaceous. As she walked, the hem of her long, white full-body dress danced in the air. She was as beautiful as a fairy from the heavens.

  Her face looked as though it came out of a dream.

  Her surroundings became silent for a while when she emerged.

  Everyone stopped talking for an instant.

  Their eyes glazed over. Even the girls who were indignantly talking about her struggled to find any words. They looked at that beautiful figure and felt guilty about themselves.

  Fang Qiming was cross-eyed. He looked at her with infatuation.

  He soon came to his senses, lifted the bouquet in his hands, and walked toward her.

  “Bingyao!” He greeted her.

  Liu Bingyao glanced at him and furrowed her brows. “Council President Fang, haven’t I told you that you shouldn’t act this way? You’re causing me a lot of trouble,” she said impassively.
