Xu Hao's brows furrowed slightly.

He still felt that these people came to the Huaya Continent to commit crimes and do evil, which was detestable. He should eradicate them all to serve as a warning, deterring those who would commit petty crimes.

At this time, the driver who had just asked Xu Hao a question, stepped forward slowly and whispered, "Young Master Xu, I think it's better to have them compensate the injured employees with money. Killing them might relieve anger, but it doesn't really help those employees in a substantial way.

I'll tell you the truth; for ordinary people like us, isn't working hard all about earning money? If we can earn more, of course, we're happy. Compared to you, we are worldly; please don't take this too much to heart, I'm just speaking my mind, just expressing some of my thoughts..."

Xu Hao turned to look at the driver and suddenly nodded, "You're right, I've been too stubborn, I haven't truly considered what you want, that's my mistake. However, I still have to kill them, but I will implement a new company policy: employees who are injured in the line of duty will receive double their usual salary during their sick leave."

Upon hearing this, the drivers were all ecstatic. If Xu Hao announced this policy, it would truly show concern for the employees!

Some companies don't even provide paid sick leave for employees, and some only give basic pay, but Xu Hao is offering double the regular salary!

It's only for injuries sustained on duty, but this further reflects the human side of the group, giving those who have worked hard for the company more peace of mind, comfort, and warmth!

Xu Hao smiled and said, "I don't wish for anyone to get hurt, but neither will I shortchange any employee who works diligently in my group!"

The driver immediately applauded, "Chairman, you are definitely the best chairman I have ever seen or heard of!"

"Yeah, other than our Xu Liu Group, I can't think of another group that's more considerate."

The drivers all cheered for Xu Hao's regulations, but the ten mercenaries had bitter expressions on their faces.

Xu Hao had essentially pronounced their death sentence.

Xu Hao looked at them, refusing to listen to any more of their begging, and snorted coldly, "Since you dared to step foot on my Huaya Continent, you should be prepared to be annihilated by me!

From now on, I will announce to everyone that Huadu, and even Tiannan Province, are under my protection. If friends come, we have fine wine and dishes for them. But if wolves come, they shouldn't blame me for being inhospitable!"

As Xu Hao spoke these words, everyone seemed to hear thunder rumbling in the skies, as if heaven itself was echoing Xu Hao's vow.

However, after a brief moment, they realized nothing had changed and thought it was just an illusion.

But Xu Hao felt vaguely as if he were capable of presiding over this domain.

He shook his head, abandoning this highly unrealistic fantasy, then raised his hand and drew out ten Qi Energy swords.

"Swoosh!"

Under Xu Hao's control, these Qi Energy swords uniformly speared towards the throats of the ten mercenaries.

Witnessing this scene, the mercenaries and the three assassins who didn't dare to flee, suddenly understood that Xu Hao was a Grandmaster Level Expert!

Qi Energy Projection is a method only Grandmaster Level Experts possess!

The three assassins gave up their struggle completely. After the Qi Energy swords penetrated the mercenaries' necks, they also pierced through their throats.

With that, all fourteen enemies were eradicated by Xu Hao!

Xu Hao turned to the drivers and said, "Go on and transport the raw stone to the company as usual." Uploaded by the *) team.

"Yes, yes! Goodbye, Chairman!"

The drivers awakened from their stupor by Xu Hao's shout, hurried to their vehicles, and drove off.

Since this was a long-haul transport, each truck was manned by two drivers taking turns, so there were actually ten drivers.

Xu Hao watched the drivers leave and then had someone come to clean up the battlefield.

Normally, Xu Hao would never let his own people do such a thing. For instance, that morning outside the Zhang Family's gates was so bloody, but Xu Hao left immediately, leaving the Zhang and Wu Families to deal with the headache themselves.

But tonight, with all the enemies dead, his own people had to clean up.

Xu Hao looked up at Zhao Yanhong in the tree and smiled, "What's the matter? Too scared to come down yourself?"

Seeing Xu Hao making fun of her, Zhao Yanhong's face flushed with embarrassment. She glared fiercely at Xu Hao and huffed, "I'm just a little afraid of heights, that's all..."

Xu Hao chuckled, "You're afraid of heights? I didn't expect Miss Zhao Yanhong of the Zhao Family to be scared of heights! I thought you were fearless. Wow, a little girl who isn't even at the Internal Energy Transformation stage dares to brandish a fruit knife at a Half Step Grandmaster; you're pretty remarkable."

"Hmph! Now you know how formidable I am, don't you? So why don't you obediently carry me down!" Zhao Yanhong arrogantly tilted her head up, commanding like a graceful swan.
