At present, the only things that could pose a threat to Wu Hao are artillery shells, bombs, and missiles—weaponry capable of causing large-scale damage.

However, such powerful and highly destructive weapons are unlikely to appear immediately in a bustling metropolis. After all, this is within the borders of the Huaxia country. It is well-known that Huaxia enforces very strict regulations on firearms, bombs, and other weapons among all countries in the world.

Even in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, only light weapons like pistols and automatic weapons such as AK47s are commonly found. Heavy weapons are generally encountered only in foreign regions.

Moreover, ordinary heavy weapons don’t pose much of a threat to Wu Hao. Unless Wu Hao knowingly enters a place rigged with explosives or a missile or nuclear bomb is dropped directly into his area, Wu Hao, with his mental perception, can detect all threats around him.

“Kid, stop talking nonsense and get down on the ground, or we’ll start shooting,” said several of his subordinates, becoming more vigilant when they saw Wu Hao’s fearless expression, preparing for a sudden attack.

On the side, Zhou Kai, seeing Wu Hao calmly facing the guns pointed at him, became even more agitated. He snorted coldly and ordered his subordinates, “Why are you still hesitating? Kill him!”

The subordinates immediately reacted to their master’s command, fixing their eyes on Wu Hao’s position and continuously pulling the triggers. “Bang, bang…” The repeated gunfire echoed in the room.

However, Wu Hao remained unmoved, standing there as if the bullets were frozen in time, floating eerily in front of him.

Zhou Kai and his subordinates were stunned by the sight before them. “How is this possible! Who… who are you?!” Zhou Kai stuttered, his usual fearless demeanor giving way to confusion and fear in the face of such an unusual scene.

Although such floating bullets are familiar from certain superpower movies, where they are common, it’s different in reality. To see such scenes outside a movie was disorienting for Zhou Kai and his subordinates.

Wu Hao, noticing Zhou Kai and his subordinates’ dazed expressions, said nothing. He simply waved his hand lightly, causing the bullets floating in front of him to turn direction and shoot towards his attackers. The subdued subordinates fell to the ground, hit by the bullets.

Zhou Kai himself was struck by one of the bullets, letting out a scream of pain. However, unlike his subordinates who were immediately hit in vital areas and perished, Zhou Kai was deliberately spared, at least for now.

In fact, not only had Zhou Kai’s subordinates in the room been dealt with, but those outside the room had also been taken care of by Wu Hao. Since Wu Hao had personally taken action, he naturally left no room for mercy. Besides, his arrival at this place wasn’t through normal channels, and even if all the people in the villa were dead, no evidence could trace back to him.

Although this was Wu Hao’s first time killing, he felt no discomfort or special emotion, as if dealing with these people was a trivial matter.

“You can’t kill me, you can’t kill me. I am the future heir of the Zhou family. If you kill me, the Zhou family will not spare you,” Zhou Kai pleaded, despite the pain from his wounds. His main fear was death, as he realized his attackers had been killed by bullets controlled by Wu Hao, and his survival was due to Wu Hao’s reluctance to kill him easily, perhaps fearing retaliation from the Zhou family.

Of course, this was only Zhou Kai’s wishful thinking, as Wu Hao had no intention of letting him off.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you die too quickly. Given your current injuries, you won’t need me to lift a finger. If you don’t receive timely medical treatment, you’ll die from blood loss in half an hour,” Wu Hao said as if discussing a trivial matter.

These words struck Zhou Kai like a plunge into ice, filling him with intense fear. He struggled to kneel and begged, “No, you can’t kill me, please, don’t kill me! I’ll give you money, however much you want, just spare me!”

“Spare you?” Wu Hao’s lips curled into a slight smirk, his tone icy. “How many people must have said this to you before? Did you ever consider sparing them? So don’t dream about it. Death is the punishment you deserve. Enjoy your last half hour of life!”

Wu Hao had not immediately dealt with Zhou Kai because he had already investigated through his intelligence network about Zhou Kai’s past actions. The information showed multiple lives lost due to Zhou Kai’s actions, and Wu Hao’s current punishment was nothing compared to his past crimes.

Hearing Wu Hao’s words, Zhou Kai’s pale, fearful face turned even more desperate.

He knew Wu Hao would not spare him, and indeed, Wu Hao had no intention of doing so. As soon as Wu Hao finished speaking, he waved his hand, causing a pair of handcuffs to fly out from a corner of the room. Zhou Kai was handcuffed to a table leg, and Wu Hao left the villa, ignoring Zhou Kai’s final struggles and cries.

The villa was located in a very quiet, upscale residential area, with no other buildings within a few hundred meters. Additionally, the villa’s rooms had excellent soundproofing. Even if Zhou Kai yelled his throat out in the room, no one would hear any noise.

After all, even with the loud gunshots earlier, only a faint sound was heard outside the villa. Therefore, Zhou Kai’s attempts to call for help through his last screams were futile, and calling for help was equally impossible.
