Universe's Ultimate BOSS Chapter 481

Chapter 481: Chapter 480: Whoever Tied the Bell Must Untie It Chapter 481: Chapter 480: Whoever Tied the Bell Must Untie It In the meeting room.

Wang Hao gave Wang Tianyi a contemptuous look, “You're Wang Tianyi, huh? I heard you disappeared for eight years, failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a father, and even after you returned, you suspected Haoer of tarnishing your reputation everywhere. I think you don't understand how great Haoer is. You're just a hypocrite dressed in a shiny coat… Pah, what rubbish!”

Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao, the two underlings, felt an impulse to worship their boss on the spot. He was so awesome that he didn't hesitate to verbally attack even his own father. Weren't he afraid of retribution?

Wang Tianyi furrowed his brows, “Are you saying Haoer has his own plans?”

Wang Hao shrugged, “I won't tell you, because you're a hypocrite.”

Wang Tianyi wasn't angry, just looked deeply at Wang Hao, “Tell Haoer for me, if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for him. But if he lays a hand on defenseless commoners, I will personally put an end to him.”

Wang Hao curled his lip, “Why would he attack those commoners and not earn any Sin Points? Is he so full that he's got nothing better to do?”

However, since this nominal dad seemed willing to hold the sky up for him, wouldn't it be a disappointment to his dad's bold words if he didn't try to poke a hole in the sky?

Le Yuanguang couldn't help but ask, “Mr. Wang, you're not going to look for Wang Hao anymore?”

Wang Tianyi spoke softly, “I've been thinking these past few days; although I don't agree with Haoer's methods, as long as he isn't a reprehensible villain, he is still my son, Wang Tianyi.”

Le Yuanguang gave Wang Tianyi a sympathetic look. Wang Hao would never become that kind of reprehensible villain because that wasn't his style. However, Wang Hao definitely had the potential to become a cunning old fox.

Compared to villians, a fox might be even more frustrating to deal with, right?

At this moment, in the meeting room.

Everyone had their own thoughts.

The nobles were eyeing the position representing the Zhan family; securing this position would allow them to stand tall and unchallenged like the Xia family and the Huang family, with no one daring to provoke them.

Guan Xinxiong, Liao Xuefeng, and the other three from the Seven Devils were beating their chests nervously. Since Zhan Wudi was so familiar with Wang Hao, why did he hire them as bodyguards? What exactly did that mean?

Xia Dongsheng made up his mind to send a message to his family as soon as the meeting was over, commanding them to put all their efforts into locating Wang Hao. He had to persuade him to join the Xia family and definitely not let him fall into the hands of the Zhan family.

Huang Xiong had a string of thoughts flashing through his mind. He wanted to kill Zhan Wudi to keep the dereliction of the Huang family from spreading to the Sky Yang Star System.

But upon further thought, it seemed unfeasible.

Everyone present knew already, even if he managed to kill Zhan Wudi, there was still a chance the secret could leak, so killing him would be in vain.

Furthermore, if it was traced back to him, it would still be a dead end, a loss far outweighing any gain.

Of course, he also considered bribing Zhan Wudi, hoping he wouldn't let the information out.

But Zhan Wushuang was the top talent of the Zhan family, and what treasures Huang Xiong had might seem like trash in his eyes. Offering them could be seen as an insult, so it seemed hardly feasible.

After thinking it over, Huang Xiong's eyes lit up; he thought of a treasure that could surely persuade Zhan Wudi to keep the matter under wraps.

With this in mind, Huang Xiong approached Wang Hao and whispered, “Young Master Zhan, may I have a word in private?”

Wang Hao's lips quirked; the old guy was scared after all. He just wondered what treasure he intended to offer as a bribe.

Arriving at a corner, Huang Xiong spoke in a low voice, “Young Master Zhan, our Huang family has a treasured item in our possession that no one really knows what it is. If you could help me smooth this matter over, I would gladly hand it over with both hands.”

Wang Hao's mind erupted with a huge 'What the fuck', was this old man treating him like a junk dealer!?

Not even knowing what it was, and yet he dared to call it a treasure right in front of his face. Did he really think him so naive and honest that he could be easily bamboozled!?

“Young Master Zhan, take a look, this is the treasure!” Huang Xiong carefully produced a fist-sized, dark and unassuming stone.

“Ding dong, congratulations to the host for finding an Enlightenment Stone, recycling price 100… billion.”

Wang Hao was dumbfounded on the spot, this dark and unassuming stone was actually a real treasure!

Thinking about that terrifying recycling price, Wang Hao quickly asked the system what exactly this Enlightenment Stone was.

The system replied, “The Enlightenment Stone is extremely rare. It needs to experience the destruction of a previous universe and the birth of this universe to be formed, retaining the essence of the Heavenly Dao's cycle within. It represents both birth and destruction. By comprehending this essence as the Dao, if one masters it, their Attack Power will be more than a hundred times stronger than before.”

“How powerful!” Wang Hao instantly became deeply interested in the Enlightenment Stone.

“System notification, the host has already comprehended Unity of Heaven and Man, which is considered a rudimentary grasp of the Dao's superficial aspects. By using the Enlightenment Stone, you could successfully comprehend the Dao.”

“Unity of Heaven and Man is only superficial!?” Wang Hao was shocked. He knew firsthand how powerful Unity of Heaven and Man was, but now the system was telling him that it was just a bit of fluff, which was not funny at all.

“Young Master Zhan, though I am unaware of what this treasure is, it is extremely hard. I suspect it is a rare ore which could certainly be used to forge a divine weapon,” Huang Xiong went on endlessly.

Wang Hao rolled his eyes. Wasn't that obvious!? If it could survive the destruction of a previous universe and the birth of this one, how could it not be hard!?

However, just collecting an Enlightenment Stone was clearly not his style of being greedy for gains.

With that thought, Wang Hao shook his head and sighed, “It's not that I don't want to help you, but rather that I'm unable to help you!”

Huang Xiong became anxious and quickly said, “Young Master Zhan, with your wide-ranging divine skills, how could this matter not be resolved by you!?”

Wang Hao waved his hand, “Even if I have wide-ranging Divine Skills, now that too many people are aware, do you think this issue can still be calmed down?”

“This…” Huang Xiong became flustered. If even Zhan Wudi could not sort it out, wouldn't that mean their Huang family was truly doomed!?

Missing out on a talent stronger than Zhan Wushuang is something one could imagine the higher-ups' reaction to; they would certainly send someone to take over their position and then send them back to the Sky Yang Star System for punishment.

As for running away, that was not even worth considering.

According to his knowledge, to this day no one has ever escaped the manhunt of the four great families of the Sky Yang Star System, even if they fled to remote star systems without exception.

Wang Hao scratched his chin and said softly, “Actually, by thinking outside the box, there might be a chance to save the day.”

“Young Master Zhan, save me!!” Huang Xiong hurriedly bent over to bow.

“I really don't have the ability to help you,” Wang Hao waved his hand, “To untie the bell, the person who tied it must be found.”

“The person who tied it!?” Huang Xiong tentatively asked, “Wang Hao!”

Wang Hao nodded, “To smooth over this matter, no one except brother Haoer can do it.”

Hearing this, Huang Xiong felt a desire to die, knowing that asking Wang Hao for help would surely require a major sacrifice, a steady bloodletting…
