Tang Hao rode on his three-wheeled motorcycle all the way to the factory.
Liu Dajun, Liu Yan, and a group of workers were already waiting for him.
Before this, Tang Hao had trained these workers and taught them how to make the potions.
With the help of machinery, the process of stirring the potions could be almost completely bypassed. The most crucial process now was the brewing of the potions as well as the method of dispersion for the formula. Tang Hao had only taught the dispersion methods to two of the workers, and only they were allowed to handle it.
The two workers were selected strictly after a thorough background check.
Even though it would be fine if the formula was leaked, Tang Hao was adamant in keeping it a secret. It was strictly confidential in this regard.
Once work started, Tang Hao merely looked on from the side and offered them guidance from time to time.
When evening came, a batch of qualified weight-loss teas was produced.
These weight-loss teas looked luxurious, particularly now that it was packed into exquisite packaging.
The original weight-loss teas were made one at a time while the bottles were larger with stronger potency. Each bottle was able to reduce up to ten kilograms of weight. However, the current weight-loss tea had been diluted by a couple of folds.
The most weight one could lose by drinking a single bottle of the current batch was about one to two kilograms. Thus, with constant consumption, the customers could still achieve a significant weight loss.
Furthermore, those people with a naturally thin physique could drink it as well. They could then possess a model-like physique and maintain the perfect figure.
As for the price, each small bottle was set at forty-eight Yuan.
The price was considered cheap for health products.
This was due to the fact that the various herbs needed to make a weight-loss potion were relatively common, thus ensuring that the price was lower. Moreover, a single batch could be diluted into many bottles. It could be said that the costs of the raw materials were extraordinarily low.
Even with the cost of labor and so on, the profit margin for the weight-loss teas was still very high.
By the time they were ready to leave the factory, it was already dark outside.
Tang Hao brought a lot of weight-loss tea with him and got ready to send them over to Sis Xiangyi.
He made a phone call and found that Sis Xiangyi was just finished her work as well. Therefore, the two decided to meet up in the city center.
Tang Hao rode on his three-wheeled motorcycle and reached the city center before she did. After waiting for a while, Sis Xiangyi was still nowhere to be seen. Thus, Tang Hao could only sit on his three-wheeled motorcycle as he stared at the phone in his hand, feeling bored to death.
Suddenly, the strand of jade beads on his wrist lit up unexpectedly. It glowed with a glaring red light the dazzled under the night sky.
A second later, a faint talisman seal appeared amidst the red light.
Tang Hao stood up instantly, and the expression on his face turned dark.
The twelve jade beads were a complete set of an Artifact. They were all interconnected with one another. If one of the beads were triggered, the rest of the jade beads would react as well.
This implied that Sis Xiangyi had run into trouble, since the jade beads she was wearing had been activated!
Furthermore, the jade beads would only be activated if the wearer was in danger.
Tang Hao began feeling uneasy as he did not know whether it was by accident or something else entirely.
“She’ll be fine for the time being under the protection of the jade beads!” Tang Hao murmured to himself, trying to calm down. Then, he closed his eyes and raised his hand into the air, trying to attentively sense their interactions.
The jade beads were an integral whole. Therefore, he could naturally sense the whereabouts of the other jade beads.
The next moment, he opened his eyes, and there was a bright flash of light.
“Over there!”
He moved his body by binding himself with the strong wind as his body dashed off in a random direction.
At this moment, somewhere in the suburbs.
In an abandoned factory, there were echoes of wrath and the frantic roar of a person.
“TMD*! (TN: TMD is an abbreviation of the curse word ‘他妈的’ or tā mā de. It’s equivalent to the English curse word motherf*cker.) What the f*ck is this!? I refuse to believe I can’t smash you to death!”
A middle-aged man was gripping an iron rod. He was frantically pounding against a circle of scarlet-colored light in front of him as if he had gone insane.
Bam! Bam!
The iron rod pounding against the light shield, producing a muffled banging noise.
The circle of light was acting like a wall, and it was completely indestructible.
The middle-aged man had a tall and sturdy figure. He looked like he was about thirty years old, and there was a scar from a knife wound on his cheek, making his appearance somewhat malicious. It was Chen Sandao, who had escaped before.
Chen Sandao was on the brink of insanity. Both of his eyes were bloodshot, and his appearance was extremely ferocious.
He could not accept this!
Everything was already at the tip of his finger. One more move, and he would have been able to press this woman he had once fascinated and lusted over underneath him to ravage her violently.
However, this circle of light shield showed up abruptly and soiled his perfect plan.
“Why won’t you break!”
He hit it with the iron rod frantically as though he had completely lost his mind.
At this moment, he just wanted revenge.
He used to be a glorious figure. There were hundreds of men under his feet, and he had hundreds of millions in fortune. In Westridge District, he had been considered an affluent man, but now, he was a nobody.
Over the past month and a half, he had been hiding all over the city. He had been living a miserable life, like a rat on the street.
It was all because of this rotten b*tch and that f*cking brat! Everything that happened was their fault!
“Rotten b*tch! What the bloody hell is this thing! Come out right not, or just wait until I smash it to pieces! I’ll ravage you to death!” He roared like furious beast.
Inside the light shield, Qin Xiangyi shrank into the back corner. She looked extremely pale.
She was panicking and was somewhat in a daze.
She too was confused as to where the circle of light had come from.
All of a sudden, she turned to look at the bracelet on her wrist. The bracelet was emitting a faint light, and there was a wisp of red flowing from it. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was the blood-colored jade bead embedded in the bracelet.
“This…”
Qin Xiangyi paused in disbelief as she looked at the bracelet.
Then, she thought of the time when Lil Hao had told her to put it on. He mentioned that no matter what happened in the future, that she should never take the bracelet off.
At the time, she thought that it was a casual romantic gesture. She would never have imagined that it had such a magical effect.
“Where are you, Lil Hao?”
She looked out the light shield at the beast-like man who was growing increasingly insane.
“Haha! Are you still thinking about that stinking brat at this moment? Is he really that great?” Chen Sandao grumbled.
“Stop your wishful thinking. He probably doesn’t even know that you’ve fallen into my hands! Once I’m done with you, the next one I’ll deal with is him. Isn’t he a ferocious one? I’d like to see for myself just how savage he can be.”
Chen Sandao drew a gun from the back of his waistband and waved it around as he said those words.
“The stinking boy is the one that made me so miserable. I’ll only have to use a single bullet to destroy him before throwing him into the sea to feed the fishes.”
Chen Sandao held the gun and shouted wildly.
Qin Xiangyi trembled violently, and her face turned white as a sheet.
“This bloody thing… I’m gonna shoot you to pieces!”
After hitting it a few more times to no avail, Chen Sandao took his gun and shot at the light shield.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out as a bullet was fired. It hit the light shield dead-on.
At this moment, the light shield started to shake, and the light it emitted started to dim slightly.
“Haha! Rotten b*tch! Where are you gonna hide now. You’re just oh so noble and virtuous, huh? Wait till you see how I’ll enjoy you to death!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Chen Sandao fired the gun another five or six times.
Each time, the light shield shook as it grew progressively dimmer. One look at it and you could tell that it was about to break into pieces.
Chen Sandao was in a state of ecstasy. Both of his eyes were filled with the color of lust.
Bang!
Another gunshot, and the light shield shook once more before ultimately dissipating.
In the corner, Qin Xiangyi was trembling in fear as her complexion turned an ashy grey.
“Hahaha!”
Chen Sandao laughed like a maniac. He took a deep breath and got ready to walk forward.
However, right at that moment, a muffled noise suddenly echoed from the top of the factory. Then, a figure dropped down from the ceiling. A loud crash was heard as the character hit the ground.
It was a terrifying sight. A wild gale blew around the person’s body, giving him the imposing aura of a deity. At that moment, he looked very much like a hero.
Instantly, Chen Sandao’s body stiffened up. He was entranced by the sudden appearance of this figure.
His eyes were wide open, and his jaw dropped so much that his heart threatened to leap right out of it.
Was… was this a person!?
This plant was six or seven meters high, not to mention, there were metal sheets covering the top of it. How did a human break through the metal sheet and crash down from the sky, yet remain standing upright?!
None of this made sense to him.
What kind of a monster was this guy?
He trembled uncontrollably from head to toe as he tried to recompose himself, giving the figure a more careful look.
At that moment, he was utterly stunned.
Why did the monster look exactly like that stinking brat!
That was not right. The monster was that stinking brat!
He could not help but tremble even more as a wave of panic washed over him.
The odd light shield just now, coupled with that amazing entrance… Put two and two together, and he could vaguely guess that this kid was not someone ordinary.
He had heard before that there were still some unexplainable things that existed in this world.
In the corner, Qin Xiangyi was looking dumbfounded as well.
However, once she noticed the person’s face, she was so startled that she almost wept with joy.
