NOVEL NEXT Chapter 89 - Domineering
Zhou Tong's incessant interruptions finally brought Jiang Hao's patience to a breaking point.
With a frown etched on his face, Jiang Hao fixed Zhou Tong with a piercing gaze before he blurted out,
“Zhou Tong, you're wasting your breath!
Your complexion is rosy, your eyes are sparkling, and your voice booms like Hong Liang's. You're clearly not showing any signs of a cold, so cut the act!
And that cold medicine? You don't need it, so drop the act and stop eyeing it!”
Jiang Hao's stern warning sent Zhou Tong into a brief panic, but as soon as Jiang Hao finished speaking, Zhou Tong quickly feigned innocence.
“Jiang Hao, what are you talking about? I'm lost here. I just wanted to buy some cold medicine. What ulterior motive could I possibly have?
If you're not interested in buying it, let's leave it at that. There's no need to besmirch my character!”
Zhou Tong adopted a posture of deep hurt.
However, Jiang Hao was beyond arguing with him.
“Enough, you can leave now. You know exactly what I mean!
Stop with the charade. You think you can play the victim and still act virtuous?!”
“Hmph!”
A glint of steel flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes as he issued a cold warning.
Zhou Tong's face flushed with anger and then paled at Jiang Hao's scathing rebuke.
Just as he was gearing up to cause a scene, the sight of Jiang Hao's sharp gaze brought Qin Shou to mind.
Qin Shou had his legs broken by Jiang Hao, and when Qin Shou's father sought revenge, he was utterly crushed!
This incident was hardly a secret among Tianhee City's elite.
Zhou Tong's family might have some clout in Tianhee City's upper circles, but they were no match for the Qin family.
With this realization, and under the icy scrutiny of Jiang Hao, Zhou Tong lost his nerve.
Without another word, Zhou Tong slunk away.
The bystanders, initially clueless, watched Zhou Tong beat a hasty retreat after Jiang Hao's tirade.
Some were confused, but others, piecing together the exchange, quickly grasped the situation.
“What just happened?”
“Oh, now I get it. Zhou Tong's really underhanded, isn't he?”
“Wow, Jiang Hao is such a powerhouse!”
......
Ignoring the chatter around him, Jiang Hao dismissed the brazen Zhou Tong and then leaned over the table, immersing himself in the system.
“System, bring up my personal info panel!”

Jiang Hao studied his personal panel and decided it was time for an upgrade!
“System, elevate my Danger Perception to level 3!”
“Affirmative, host!”
“Ding, Danger Perception successfully upgraded!”

With the upgrade to his Danger Perception, Jiang Hao immediately felt lighter and his mind became sharper!
He reveled in this sensation.
Then, Jiang Hao's attention returned to the Great Strength Divine Sense on the System Panel.
Even though the Great Strength Divine Sense was just at level one, he knew he needed ten skill points to advance it to level two!
