Chapter 117: There's Someone Xu Hao Fears [6th Update]
The woman's face instantly changed when she heard Xu Hao's words. She hurriedly hid behind Sun Kang and pleaded, "Husband, you must help me. If I lose face, so do you!"
Urgently, Sun Kang said, "Brother, my wife is ignorant. Please, for my sake, don't stoop to her level."
Xu Hao snorted, "Your face? Is your face that valuable?"
Instantly, Sun Kang's face turned ugly. After all, he was a Sun!
In a cold voice, he said, "I am a member of the Sun family. Although just a collateral, I am still one of them! You think my face isn't valuable? Kid, don't reject the wine I offer, or you'll be forced to drink a penalty. You want to market your Medicinal Powder? No matter how effective your powder is, what can it do? If you offend our Sun family, we can ensure you won't sell a single grain!"
When the crowd heard he was from the Sun family, they immediately stepped back. That was one of Huadu's Four Great Families—a leviathan-like existence. Who would dare to provoke them?
Xu Hao casually said, "You think you can use the Sun family to pressure me? Don't say you're just a collateral; even if the Sun family's eldest son were here, he couldn't suppress me!"
He coldly glanced at the woman and sneered, "Benefitted from Xu Hao yet still playing dumb? How ridiculous!"
"Swoosh!"
A sharp sword suddenly flew out, slicing a cut on the exact finger of the woman, then returned to Xu Hao's hand.
"Aah! My finger!" the woman screamed frantically, almost like a slaughtered pig, then ran away tumbling and crawling.
"You! Our Sun family won't let you off!"
Sun Kang was petrified; suddenly, he bent over to collect some jade powder that had fallen to the ground. Chen Suyi tried to stop him, but he ran off.
Chen Suyi vexedly said, "Members of the Sun family indeed have a business acumen. He smelled the business opportunity here, for sure he will take it back for examination"
Xu Hao couldn't be bothered to explain. That was just jade powder after all; let them test it. If they could find out the formula, it would be a miracle.
At that moment, a woman with a terrifying scar on her face suddenly charged in front of Xu Hao and kneeled before him with a "thump."
With tear-filled eyes, she said, "Sir! Big Brother! I know this Medicinal Powder must be incredibly precious, but I desperately need it; please could you spare me just a little bit?"
Seeming to feel she hadn't been sincere enough, she immediately kowtowed to Xu Hao with several loud "thumps."
Xu Hao looked at the scar on her face, at least seven or eight centimeters long, almost crossing half of her right cheek, and smiled, "That scar, it's about three years old, right?"
"Exactly, exactly! This scar, it was from three years ago; during an argument, my ex-husband slashed me with a knife," the woman eagerly explained, her face filled with hope, "Big Brother, do you think there's a chance my scar can be healed?"
Xu Hao immediately understood she had fallen victim to a scumbag.
He said, "It's a small matter; wait until we..."
He paused, glanced at Chen Suyi, then smiled, "Wait a bit, and Suyi Beauty will officially launch its products. Then you can buy some and use it."
Chen Suyi pursed her lips, thinking to herself that she wouldn't be bribed by this ruffian, and he even dared to use her name for a trademark. She would sue him for defamation!
Chen Suyi snickered inwardly, contemplating that when she took over his Suyi Beauty, and shared it with Sister Ru Yan and Sister Anna, wouldn't that infuriate him?
"Really? That's wonderful! I've been waiting for years; a few more days won't make a difference! Thank you so much!" Overjoyed with the confirmation, the woman left happily.
She hadn't felt such happiness in three years.
Xu Hao looked at the Dior sign and shook his head, "Alas, once my product is out, all these cosmetics brands might just close down!"
Anna immediately said, "Of course! Brother Hao, I always knew you were the best. Those people just don't understand your greatness."
Xu Hao rubbed Anna's head and laughed, "Haha, Anna gets me."
Anna flung herself onto Xu Hao, puckered her lips, closed her eyes, and said, "Brother Hao, I want a kiss!"
Xu Hao was caught off guard.
Seeing the people around them looking over, he quickly picked up Anna and hurried away.
Chen Suyi covered her mouth and chuckled. So there were times when this ruffian could panic. Quite rare indeed!
...
What Xu Hao and the others didn't know was that at the entrance of a nearby shop, Sun Kang hadn't gone far but was eavesdropping on their conversation.
Once Xu Hao and the others had left, Sun Kang sneaked out, sneering to himself, "Damn it, I'll make you regret insulting me! Heh, I've checked just now: the Suyi Beauty brand has not yet been registered. Well then, I'll just go and snatch it!"
He glanced at the powder in his hand and sneered, "I will test this powder, find out the formula, and then, everything you have will be mine! Hahaha! I, Sun Kang, will become the true Caesar of the fashion world, known by everyone!"
