Universe’s Ultimate BOSS

Meeting

Wang Hao gave Wang Tianyi a disdainful look. "You must be Wang Tianyi!? I heard you disappeared for eight years, failing to fulfill your responsibilities as a father. And after you came back, you suspected that Brother Hao was ruining your reputation everywhere. I think you don't understand how great Brother Hao is at all. You're just a hypocrite wearing a glamorous facade... Pah, what a piece of trash!"

Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao, the two underlings, felt an urge to worship them on the spot. This boss was just too awesome. Not only did he spout nonsense, but he even dared to talk back to his own father like that. Wasn't he afraid of retribution?

Wang Tianyi frowned. "You mean, Hao'er has his own plans!?"

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

Wang Tianyi wasn't angry; he just gave Wang Hao a deep look and said, "Tell Hao'er that I'll help him carry the sky if it falls, but if he lays a hand on unarmed civilians, I'll kill him with my own hands."

Wang Hao curled his lip. There's no crime in taking action against ordinary people; why would he have nothing better to do?

However, since this cheapskate father is willing to shoulder the burden for him, it seems like he'd be letting his father down if he didn't actually bring the sky down!

Le Yuanguang couldn't help but ask, "Brother Wang, aren't you going to find that brat Wang Hao?!"

Wang Tianyi said softly, "I've been thinking about it these past few days. Although I don't agree with Hao'er's way of doing things, as long as he doesn't become an irredeemable villain, then he is my son, Wang Tianyi's son."

Le Yuanguang gave Wang Tianyi a sympathetic look. Wang Hao could never become the kind of utterly wicked villain, because that was simply not his style, but Wang Hao definitely had the potential to become a cunning old fox.

Compared to villains, foxes seem to drive people crazy more!

At this moment, in the conference room.

Everyone had their own thoughts.

The nobles were all eyeing the position of Zhan family's acting head. If they could obtain this position, they could stand tall like the Xia and Huang families, with no one daring to provoke them.

Guan Xinxiong, Liao Xuefeng, and the Seven Demons were filled with apprehension. Since Zhan Wudi was so familiar with Wang Hao, why did he hire them as bodyguards? What was the meaning behind this?

Xia Dongsheng made up his mind that he would send a message to his family later, asking them to do everything they could to find Wang Hao's whereabouts. He was determined to persuade Wang Hao to join the Xia family and absolutely could not let the Zhan family steal him away.

A series of thoughts flashed through Huang Xiong's mind. He wanted to kill Zhan Wudi so that the news of their Huang family's dereliction of duty would not reach the Tianyang Star System.

But upon closer inspection, it seems unlikely to work.

Because everyone present now knows that even if he really killed Zhan Wudi, there is still a possibility of leaking the secret, so killing him would be pointless.

Moreover, if it is discovered, it will still be a dead end, so it is really not worth the loss.

Of course, he also considered bribing Zhan Wudi to keep quiet about the matter.

But Zhan Wushuang is the number one genius of the Zhan family. His treasures are probably just trash in his eyes. Giving them away would be an insult to him, so it wouldn't work if he didn't give them away.

After thinking for a long time, Huang Xiong's eyes lit up. He had thought of a treasure that would definitely make Zhan Wudi keep this matter a secret.

Thinking of this, Huang Xiong approached Wang Hao and whispered, "Young Master Zhan, would you mind having a word with me in private?"

Wang Hao's lips curled slightly. This old guy was still scared after all. He just wondered what kind of treasure he was planning to use to bribe him!

Reaching a corner, Huang Xiong whispered, "Young Master Zhan, our Huang family has a treasure in our collection, and no one knows what it is. If you can help me resolve this matter, I will gladly offer it to you."

A huge "Holy crap" popped into Wang Hao's mind. Could this old man have mistaken him for a junk collector?!

I don't even know what it is.

How dare they call it a treasure in front of him? Do they really think he's a simple and honest person who can be easily fooled?!

"Young Master Zhan, look, this is the treasure!" Huang Xiong carefully took out a fist-sized, dark stone.

"Ding dong, congratulations host for discovering the Enlightenment Stone, recycling price 100... billion."

Wang Hao was stunned. This dark, unremarkable stone was actually a treasure!

Thinking of the terrifying buyback price, Wang Hao hurriedly asked the system what exactly this Enlightenment Stone was.

The system replied, "Enlightenment Stones are extremely rare. They can only be born after the destruction of the previous universe and the birth of this universe. They contain the true meaning of the cycle of the Heavenly Dao, which is both birth and death. People call this truth the Dao. Once you master the Dao, your attack power will be more than a hundred times stronger than before."

"How amazing!" Wang Hao instantly became very interested in this Enlightenment Stone.

"System notification: The host has already comprehended the unity of heaven and man, which can be considered as a preliminary grasp of the Dao. As long as you use this Enlightenment Stone, you will be able to successfully comprehend the Dao."

"The unity of heaven and man is just a superficial understanding!?" Wang Hao was stunned. He knew firsthand how powerful the unity of heaven and man was, but now the system was telling him that this was just a superficial understanding. This joke was not funny at all.

"Young Master Zhan, although I don't know what this treasure is, it is extremely hard. I suspect it is a rare mineral that can be used to forge divine weapons," Huang Xiong introduced incessantly.

Wang Hao rolled his eyes. Isn't that obvious?! Having survived the destruction of the last universe and the birth of this one, how could it not be tough?!

However, accepting only one Enlightenment Stone was clearly not in line with his style as a petty swindler.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao shook his head and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but that I can't!"

Huang Xiong panicked and quickly said, "Young Master Zhan, you are incredibly powerful, how could you possibly not be able to handle this matter?!"

Wang Hao waved his hand, "Even if I have all the power, too many people know about this now. Do you think this matter can be calmed down?"

"This..." Huang Xiong panicked. If even Zhan Wudi couldn't handle this, then the Huang family would truly be doomed!

Missing out on a genius even more powerful than Zhan Wushuang—it's easy to imagine the reaction from above. They'll definitely send someone to replace them and then send them back to the Tianyang Star System to be punished.

As for escaping, forget about it.

According to his understanding, no one has ever escaped the pursuit of the four major families of the Tianyang Star System, even if they have fled to remote star systems.

Wang Hao scratched his chin and said softly, "Actually, if we work around it, there might still be a chance to save our lives."

"Young Master Zhan, save me!!" Huang Xiong hurriedly bowed and paid his respects.

"I can't help you," Wang Hao waved his hand. "The one who tied the knot must untie it."

"The one who tied the bell!?" Huang Xiong asked tentatively, "Wang Hao!"

Wang Hao nodded. "There's no one else but Brother Hao'er who can resolve this matter."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiong felt like dying. To get Wang Hao's help, he would absolutely have to sever the major artery and bleed continuously...
