In the private room.
Zhao Jinlong scolded a service manager, literally showering him with spittle. Ye Wei said she was going to find Huang Qing, but in the end, it was like throwing a meat bun at a dog.
“Tell Huang Qing if she doesn’t come now, I’m going to start trashing the place!”
Zhao Jinlong banged on the table and shouted.
“Go ahead!”
“Better do it now!”
The moment he finished speaking, a man’s voice suddenly rang out from the doorway of the private room.
Zhao Jinlong found the voice somewhat familiar. He looked up and sure enough, it was that guy who had been getting happy with his goddess in the car.
Seeing the rival in love made Zhao Jinlong’s eyes turn bloodshot!
If Huang Qing had shown up, Zhao Jinlong might not have lost his cool, but the sight of Yang Hao after having drunk quite a bit set him off immediately!
“Damn it, smash it!!”
Zhao Jinlong bellowed at his several lackeys, then grabbed the red wine bottle in front of him and smashed it directly against the 100-inch LCD screen!
Crack!!
The wine bottle hit right in the middle of the LCD screen, and the huge screen instantly fractured into a web…
“Zhao Jinlong, have you gone fucking mad!”
Following Yang Hao, Huang Qing cursed and was about to order someone to stop it.
But Yang Hao was coolly waving his hand: “Let him smash!”
Ever since he activated the System, Yang Hao hadn’t encountered any antagonists yet. It was hard to come by one, so he needed to let him be arrogant.
After maxing out the Combat Power, the System granted him the title of Martial Arts Grandmaster, right?
Yang Hao had never tested the power of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Today was a good chance to try it out and get a general idea of his own Combat Power.
After Zhao Jinlong took action, his drunken lackeys also started to smash things around with wine bottles.
Two hoodlums who usually looked after the bar went straight for Yang Hao…
“So you’re the one who snatched our Brother Long’s woman, huh!”
“Right, it’s him! Beat the crap out of him!!”
Zhao Jinlong shouted loudly from behind. He had been displeased with Yang Hao for quite some time, especially that day in Binjiang Park, he had even felt a murderous rage.
At his shout, several people immediately lunged at Yang Hao.
“Security!!”
Huang Qing turned her head and shouted at the security guards standing on standby in the corridor.
“No need for security!”
Yang Hao directly faced the approaching men.
“Huh?”
“Hao??”
Huang Qing and Ye Wei were both stunned. A bunch of people were charging over, and he was counter-charging??
While they were dazed, the two hoodlums who had rushed up first were already howling in pain, kneeling on the ground with agonized expressions. Those following them were also floored by Yang Hao in an instant.
“Damn!”
“You????”
Zhao Jinlong’s face was full of confusion, his mind flooded with question marks, and he sobered up quite a bit instantly.
However, Yang Hao showed no courtesy to the instigator, and in a few moves, he beat Zhao Jinlong into a pig’s head.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Jinlong and his gang were all lying on the floor of the private room, crying for their fathers and howling for their mothers.
Huang Qing, Ye Wei, and the clubhouse employees were all dumbfounded!!
Huang Qing: My man can fight like this??
Ye Wei: How is this even more impressive than winning at cards?
Employee: Damn, our boss is way too awesome!!
“Call the police.”
Yang Hao said indifferently.
But in his heart, he was somewhat disappointed. These people were no match at all; he hadn’t gotten a true sense of how much he could fight.
Coming back to her senses, Huang Qing immediately picked up the phone and called the police.
“Imperium Clubhouse, someone is vandalizing the venue and they attacked our boss.”
“Six or seven people…”
Listeining to Huang Qing describe the situation to the police.
Zhao Jinlong, lying on the ground, was grimacing in pain while wanting to curse his mother.
Vandalism was indeed true, but you call this assaulting the boss??
It was clearly them, six or seven guys being beaten by someone else!
Within a few minutes, the police arrived at the scene.
Leading them was the deputy director of Quanyang Police Station, Li Donglai, who brought all three on-duty officers with him.
However, upon arriving at the scene, he was somewhat stunned.
Wasn’t it supposed to be a group of people assaulting the boss of Imperial Clubhouse?
Why were so many people lying on the ground?
“Who called the police?”
Li Donglai scanned the people present.
He recognized Huang Qing; she was the manager of Imperial Clubhouse before, and they had dealt with each other quite a bit. He also received quite some benefits from Huang Qing.
Running a clubhouse naturally requires good relations with the local police, but at this moment neither could act too familiar, let alone let others see they knew each other.
“I called the police.”
“ID card.”
Li Donglai started following procedure, registering the information of the person who reported the incident, and then inquired about the situation.
“You’re the boss of Imperial Clubhouse?”
Li Donglai looked at Yang Hao: “Didn’t the report say you were being assaulted? What’s going on here?”
Li Donglai looked suspiciously at Zhao Jinlong and the others on the ground.
“They did assault me, that’s correct. But with so many people attacking me, I couldn’t just stand there and not fight back, so I fought back a bit. Who knew they couldn’t take a punch, and just a few hits later, they all went down…”
Yang Hao shrugged slightly.
“What?”
“You did this all by yourself??”
Li Donglai’s eyes bulged out, his face a picture of shock and disbelief.
The three police officers who had come with him wore similar expressions, especially a pretty female officer who was tall and willowy, unable to resist sizing up Yang Hao carefully.
“Leader, I have a video here.”
“Everything Mr. Yang says is absolutely true.”
At that moment, the security captain of the clubhouse approached with a cellphone in hand.
After hearing from the waitstaff about Zhao Jinlong’s intention to trash the place, the security team had been monitoring the situation in the private room. Not only had they been recording on cellphones, but everyone else did the same; such incidents were not uncommon for them.
Once the guests at the clubhouse got drunk, there was no telling what they might do, so it was essential to record videos as evidence.
Li Donglai took the cellphone and watched the video seriously, while the other three officers gathered around.
After watching the video, the four exchanged looks, their expressions complicated. They were police officers, after all, trained in combat and grappling by the System, yet none of them could achieve such feats.
Mr. Yang’s moves were clean and efficient, clearly the work of many years of martial arts training.
“Take them all back to the station for processing!”
“Are you guys able to walk?”
Li Donglai asked Zhao Jinlong and the others lying on the ground.
Yang Hao had been moderate in his approach, only knocking them down and causing a bit of pain.
Only Zhao Jinlong’s fat head had swollen even more, really resembling a pig’s head, but it didn’t hinder his ability to walk.
Struggling, the men got up and followed the police downstairs.
“You two also need to come to the station to give a statement, and you, security comrade, come along with the video evidence.”
Li Donglai said to Yang Hao, Huang Qing, and the security captain.
Yang Hao indicated his understanding and followed everyone downstairs.
Knowing that several people were involved in the case, Li Donglai and his team brought three police cars: a 7-seater van and two 5-seater sedans.
Yang Hao and Huang Qing sat in the last police car, driven by the tall and pretty female officer. Glancing at her name tag from the corner of his eye, Yang Hao found it easily readable due to a certain elevated feature.
Ma Tianjiao.
Yang Hao silently repeated her name in his mind. Discover more content at empire
From her name alone, it was clear that Officer Ma’s father had high hopes for her, and Yang Hao wondered whether becoming a police officer had met her father’s expectations…
“You’ve been practicing martial arts since you were a child?”
Just as Yang Hao’s thoughts were drifting, Officer Ma suddenly spoke up.
“Are you asking me?”
Yang Hao asked instinctively as Officer Ma continued to focus straight ahead while speaking.
“Yes.”
Officer Ma nodded slightly.
“Not really since childhood, I guess you could say I’m a late starter,” Yang Hao replied off the cuff, knowing whatever he said would be a bluff.
What Yang Hao didn’t know was that his response had pricked the pride of this exceptional policewoman.
She wasn’t just any police officer, but one from the city’s economic investigation brigade. Due to her fiery temper and multiple disciplinary violations during cases, she was reassigned to Quanyang Police Station to temper her attitude.
After all, the station dealt mostly with trivial cases that required patience.
However, this exceptional officer had once taken third place in the provincial female police combat competition, and many male officers couldn’t match her. This was something she took great pride in.
Yet today, Yang Hao, a mere “bystander,” had displayed such impressive fighting skills. While she was curious, her competitive nature was also sparked. She was eager to fight Mr. Yang and see how skilled he truly was.
Or perhaps, Zhao Jinlong and his crew were simply too weak!
Now, with Yang Hao claiming to be a latecomer to martial arts, Officer Ma was even less convinced.
Starting halfway and still this formidable? Outrageous!
“Any formal training?”
Officer Ma asked again.
“Learned from a grandmaster in the park,” Yang Hao continued to fabricate, reasoning that public park grandmasters in online novels were often hidden dragons and crouching tigers, potentially major figures themselves.
However, his words only made Officer Ma more frustrated. A late starter, learning from a park grandmaster, and he could fight like that?
Could he possibly be an ultimate genius who awakened a Holy Spirit Root at eighteen?
Officer Ma, ranked third on the police force’s list of top officers, was not pleased and was itching for a challenge!
Unaware of the policewoman’s competitive thoughts, Yang Hao continued, “I’m usually quite busy with work, and neglect my practice, so I didn’t have much opportunity for raw combat, which is why I was somewhat flawed in my execution.”
Officer Ma: ???
One man against six, completely unscathed.
You call that flawed??
The impressive officer finally turned her head to glance at Yang Hao, “Looking for an opportunity for real combat?”
“If there’s a chance, I might give it a shot.”
Since Zhao Jinlong and his team were too weak, Yang Hao hadn’t been able to truly gauge his strength, so he nodded subconsciously.
“I get off work at six in the morning,” Officer Ma suddenly said.
“Huh?”
Yang Hao looked at her puzzled, thinking, what does your shift ending at six have to do with me??
“Seven o’clock, see you at Binjiang Park.”
“Let’s spar!” Officer Ma added.
“Eh?”
Yang Hao looked at the policewoman in astonishment, never expecting her to make such a proposal.
She was quite attractive and shapely, so why the fascination with fighting?
“Aren’t you the one who wanted real combat experience?” Officer Ma said, seeing the look of confusion on Yang Hao’s face.
“Sparring with you isn’t exactly real combat!”
Yang Hao shook his head, “Besides, I need to sleep in the morning!”
“Who gets up early to fight? I only do morning exercises!”
