Chapter 8: Slapping the Protagonist into the

Air with One Palm! You Can't Keep Your

Then, without slowing down, he rushed towards Xu Liang, clenched his fist, and aimed a
powerful blow at Xu Liang's face. Even before he got close, it created a whistling sound. He had
put all his strength into this punch, utilizing his hidden power, and he had decided it was a fatal
blow. One punch, and not just a person, even a bull would be sent flying, and then the hidden
power would burst, causing a gruesome death.

As for the consequences of killing Xu Liang—

To hell with the consequences. He could just go abroad to develop if it came to that. Even if the
Xu family's influence was substantial, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

Everything happened so quickly that no one had time to react. They only saw Lin Hao suddenly
leap over the crowd, appearing in front of Xu Liang the next moment.

"Ah!" Just as it seemed a punch was about to land on Xu Liang's face, many female employees
screamed in shock. Suddenly, the cries fell silent. Lin Hao, who had been full of momentum,
collapsed on the ground the next moment.

What the heck? Is he pretending to be a car accident victim here?

Such a stark contrast, was it really necessary?

Some keen observers noticed that Xu Liang had made a move; it was just that his speed had
created this kind of effect. Let's rewind time by one second.

Lin Hao's fist was about to strike Xu Liang, the punch carrying a howling wind and a strong
murderous intent. However, just as the punch was about to land, Xu Liang slowly raised his
hand.
Lin Hao was puzzled. Was he planning to block with his hand? He sneered internally, thinking
that even if he blocked this punch, Xu Liang's entire hand would be crippled. Soon, he realized
something was amiss.

He felt the air around him suddenly become heavy, making it difficult to breathe. His entire body
seemed to be constrained, and his movements were incredibly sluggish. Xu Liang was right in
front of him, but he couldn't reach him. He was locked by a force of Qi.

"How is this possible?" Lin Hao was amazed. He had seen the strength of his second master, and
this was the kind of imposing presence only a Grandmaster possessed, yet this guy in front of
him seemed stronger.

Lin Hao felt numb, even questioning life itself. When had reaching the Grandmaster realm
become so easy? Weren't Grandmasters supposed to be elderly, in their fifties or sixties? He
remembered his second master saying that achieving the pinnacle of Dark Power at his age was
already invincible. Yet Xu Liang was around his age and stronger than his second master?

Lin Hao felt despair. Faced with such a powerful opponent, he had no resistance. If Xu Liang
had this kind of strength, what chance did he have against the Xu family and avenging his
parents?

[Ding: Lin Hao's mindset is exploding, Villain Value +999]

[Ding: Lin Hao is in absolute despair, Villain Value +1000]

Just when Lin Hao had closed his eyes and was waiting for death, Xu Liang spoke.

"Call the police, dial Tang Xin and have her handle this."

Xue Yourong looked at him with admiration. Others might not have seen it, but she was standing
right behind him, and she had a clear view. Lin Hao, who had come charging at them with great
momentum, had been knocked to the ground with a single palm by Xu Liang.

"Okay." Upon hearing Xu Liang's command, she came back to her senses and quickly picked up
her phone to make the call.
At the same time, several bodyguards rushed forward to restrain Lin Hao. He didn't struggle; he
looked at Xu Liang in disbelief. He couldn't believe Xu Liang didn't kill him.

Was it because of the law? An eye for an eye? Absolutely not! With the Xu family's power, even
if he had been killed in front of so many people, there would be no consequences. The law was
merely a restraint for ordinary people, a fact made abundantly clear in the presence of such
colossal figures as the Xu family.

After the bodyguards moved Lin Hao, the scene beneath him was revealed, with the marble floor
cracked in a dense pattern.

Yes, Xu Liang held back. If he had aimed for Lin Hao's life, that palm from earlier would have
killed him. However, at the critical moment, he shifted most of his power into the marble
beneath him.

In that single slap, Xu Liang's speculation was confirmed. At that moment, no protagonist's aura
was triggered, and there were no consequences like divine retribution for killing the main
character. This means he could kill the main character at any time.

Previously, he had some concerns about the protagonist's aura, wondering if he could really kill
him. Now, those worries have vanished like smoke. In fact, before absolute strength, even the
main character can't escape the fate of death. Not killing the main character also has another
reason, and that is to maintain his refined image.

Didn't you see how those female employees were casting amorous glances at him now? A good
image is advantageous for bringing the heroine into the family in the future. Of course, letting
Lin Hao go like this is not practical. If someone dares to come to kill him, how can he get away
unscathed?

Tang Xin, the police flower of the police station, the captain of the criminal investigation team,
has also been won over by him. She was originally an overly righteous young officer, and under
Xu Liang's leadership in catching criminals, her goodwill towards him gradually grew. How
many of those instances were orchestrated by him, only Xu Liang himself knows.

Lastly, another hero saves the beauty, and everything falls into place. When they bring Lin Hao
in, they will treat him well. The entire department is filled with his people; how can the main
character compete with him?
Not long after, a police car came whizzing by and stopped at the entrance of the Xu Group. A
female police officer got out of the car, with short, neat hair that gave her a heroic aura. Her
delicate and fresh face was like a full moon, and her large, watery eyes were full of
righteousness. Her figure was well-proportioned and alluring. An angel's face and a devil's
figure; this is how one would describe this woman.

Xu Liang was not far away, and Tang Xin pretended not to see him, waving her hand to order
her subordinates to arrest the person. Up until now, she often thought back to the times when
they caught criminals together. When Xu Liang took action, none of those criminals escaped.

However, after that one night, Xu Liang rarely appeared. Every time he did, he played games
with her, blurring the lines between the hero and the villain, leaving her flustered. Now, it's been
almost a week since he played a game with her, and she's feeling a bit emotional about it.

Xu Liang raised an eyebrow and gave her a meaningful look, and she instantly understood, her
beautiful face gradually turning red. Since Lin Hao had been arrested, she also hurried into the
police car, and it sped away.
