Chapter 66: Zhao Dong Wants to Leave

Watching Zhao Dong leave in a humiliating state, Wang Haoran was brimming with satisfaction.

[Ding! Zhao Dong was ridiculed in front of everyone but couldn’t show off! Protagonist Zhao Dong’s halo -180, Host’s fate points +180, Ability points +18!]

[Ding! Zhao Dong failed to shock others! Protagonist Zhao Dong’s halo -120, Host’s fate points +120, Ability points +12!]

[Ding! Zhao Dong was severely hurt emotionally by heroine Lin Qingzhi! Protagonist Zhao Dong’s halo -100, Host’s fate points +100, Ability points +10!]

“Great, now I have 600 fate points again. System, another ten-draw!”

[Alright! Shua—Shua—]

[Ding! Draw successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the following rewards: Ability points +2; Skill—Iron Fortress lv1; Ability points +2; Ability points +2; Ability points +8; Ability points +6; Item—Reason’s Edge; Ability points +2; Ability points +2; Skill—Shadow Step lv1.]

“Hmm… Boosting my martial strength to mid-Hua Jin is enough… The rest should go to other stats for balanced development.”

Having accumulated 84 ability points, Wang Haoran quickly distributed them.

Nice, Wang Haoran felt very satisfied with his status panel.

Now, with the farce over, the wedding on stage continued.

But Wang Haoran had no interest in the festivities.

Estimating that the wedding would last another two hours, he figured he had enough time to handle some business.

So, he whispered to Lin Qingzhi beside him.

“Qingzhi, I have some matters to attend to. It might take some time. You wait here for me.”

“Mm, I understand.”

Lin Qingzhi nodded decisively.

But just as Wang Haoran stood to leave, Lin Qingzhi suddenly grabbed his sleeve, looking at him with her big, timid eyes.

“Haoran… please come back soon…”

Seeing her expression, Wang Haoran understood.

She was feeling uneasy, the only familiar person leaving.

So, he patted her head, comforting her.

“Don’t worry, I’ll come back as soon as I’m done!”

“After all, a beautiful girl is waiting for me here!”

***

Just as night fell.

On a mountain road leaving S City, four cars drove in a line.

In the third car, Zhao Dong sat in the back seat, full of resentment.

Since reuniting with Zhao Ruilong, he had never felt so humiliated, unable to face-slap his opponent and had to leave under everyone’s ridicule.

He had planned everything perfectly but didn’t expect Wang Haoran to turn on him so quickly, stabbing him while he was still around.

But fine, since Wang Haoran betrayed him, once he returned and reported to his father, the Zhao family wouldn’t accept the Wang family again, and he could deal with Wang Haoran freely.

Serves him right!

In his mind, Zhao Dong imagined Wang Haoran kneeling and begging, holding his leg and crying. He chuckled smugly.

After enjoying his fantasy, Zhao Dong looked out at the dark scenery, remembering why his father urgently called them back to the Zhao family.

What could be so urgent that Aunt Zhu had to arrange everything in S City and rush him back?

Either something very good or very bad, right?

Recalling his father’s calm voice during the call, Zhao Dong believed it was something good.

In a few hours, he’d know. No point overthinking. Better to fantasize about beating Wang Haoran to a pulp—a pig’s head!—so he wouldn’t lose composure and laugh too hard when the time came, lowering his status.

As Zhao Dong happily admired the dark scenery, suddenly, car lights flashed twice in the darkness.

“What’s this?”

He was puzzled, it was a straight road, why would a car come from the side?

Zhao Dong straightened up, curiously staring at the bright headlights.

Suddenly, he saw with horror that the headlights were rushing towards them at high speed!

“Uncle Lai, something’s wrong, a car is going to…”

Before Zhao Dong could finish his sentence—

Bang—

A violent crash sounded, Zhao Dong’s car was forcefully knocked out of the convoy, sliding several meters before stopping in the roadside woods.

The right rear side of the vehicle was caved in.

People in the other three cars, stunned by the accident, stopped immediately.

Seeing it was their young master’s car, they panicked, blocking the crashed car and their young master’s car.

Everyone from the three cars got out, two rushed to check the young master, the rest guarded the crashed car with wary faces.

Four even drew their guns.

But to their surprise, the heavily damaged car’s door slowly opened, and an unscathed figure stepped out.

The person wore black clothes and a grotesque ghost mask.

With light steps and a frightening aura, every movement showed danger.

Seeing the hostile figure, the guards tightened their grip on their guns, fingers on the triggers, aiming at the intruder.
