Ghost Catching System

Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Master, please come in_1

Xu Ying startled. Chu Hao’s words were icy. The Taoist Master seemed angry!!

Shit!! If the Taoist Master got angry, what would happen?!

It was crucial to understand that in the Seventh District, Chu Hao was revered as a god-like figure. Everyone was desperate to curry favor with him through various means. Her chance encounter with the Taoist Master was nothing short of exhilarating.

Yet, the Taoist Master completely ignored her. It was clear that this manager from Ancient Moon Residence was largely to blame.

Xu Ying erupted in anger and fiercely slapped him.

SMACK!

That slap left the manager dumbfounded, clutching his face in disbelief.

In the eyes of everyone in the Seventh District, Xu Ying was typically a girl devoted to her work. However, her furious side was enough to absolutely terrify the men there.

Xu Ying jabbed a finger at the manager’s nose and cursed, ”You damn well better get him back here immediately! If you can’t, you can forget about working here. And it won’t just be you; your boss won’t get off easy, and neither will anyone else in this place!”

Everyone was stunned, including Qin Zhengyu, who wore a bewildered expression.

The manager and the two security guards trembled inside. Who exactly is this guy? Not just them, but even the boss would be in trouble?

”Ding... Inconspicuous show-off, the deadliest kind; Host has gained 50 Pretentiousness Points.”

Haha... Just a few words, 100 Pretentiousness Points, so satisfying. It’s indeed the inconspicuous show-off that’s the deadliest.

The manager scrambled forward, desperately grabbing Chu Hao’s thigh. ”Sir... Sir, please don’t go!”

The two security guards were just as nervous. If the manager hadn’t already been clinging to Chu Hao’s leg, leaving no room, they would have lunged forward too.

Chu Hao lifted his head, gazing at the stars at a forty-five-degree angle, and said coolly, ”Someone just called me riffraff. Perhaps I should just go home.”

The manager leaped up, slapping one security guard across the face and kicking another in the stomach.

The two were in pain but didn’t dare make a sound.

The manager roared, spit flying, ”Who are you calling riffraff? You two blind dogs, aren’t you going to apologize to the Master?”

The two security guards, trembling with fear, dropped to their knees with a THUD and kowtowed to Chu Hao.

One guard kowtowed repeatedly, saying, ”We were blind fools, Master! Please, come and go as you wish!”

The other security guard stammered, ”Yeah! Yeah! Master, don’t stoop to our level... no, we are not human! Don’t lower yourself to the level of us dogs!”

Chu Hao: ”...”

Heh. This was a bit over the top, but why did it feel so satisfying to hear?

”Ding... Host has successfully showed off, gaining 10 Pretentiousness Points.”

Qin Zhengyu was dumbfounded. Does it need to be so exaggerated? It was just about leaving, right? Kowtowing, slapping faces, even claiming they aren’t human! Why debase themselves like this? If they knew it would come to this, why did they act that way in the first place?

Qin Zhengyu didn’t realize that Ancient Moon Residence’s boss was a ruthless person. If the boss found out they would suffer because of their actions, it wouldn’t just be a slap, a kick, or losing their jobs; people would definitely die.

The manager hastily said, ”Master, look, I’ve taught them a harsh lesson.”

Chu Hao, still gazing at the stars at a forty-five-degree angle, said, ”Didn’t someone mention my clothes were untidy? Forget it, I’ll just go home and eat.”

The manager looked up and slapped himself hard across the face.

SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

The resounding slaps were delivered with full force, and his face quickly swelled.

”Ding... Host has successfully showed off, gaining 10 Pretentiousness Points.”

Qin Zhengyu was completely dumbfounded. What’s gotten into these people? Damn it, is he really that terrifying?

The manager clung to Chu Hao’s thigh, crying, ”I know I was wrong, please go inside. There’s food, Master; whatever you want to eat, I’ll have it prepared right away.”

Xu Ying also walked over. This is a rare opportunity to ingratiate herself with the Master. She said cautiously, ”Master, should I ask the owner of this place to come out? That person doesn’t know what’s good for him. The Master himself has come, and he doesn’t even greet you personally.”

The manager and the two security guards shuddered even more, filled with fear and shock. Just who was Chu Hao? One had to understand, only renowned veteran masters in the field or individuals with fortunes in the billions were deemed worthy of the boss personally coming out to greet them. Anyone else wouldn’t even get a glance from him. And yet, they had actually barred such a figure from entering. The thought alone was terrifying.

Chu Hao asked, ”Do you know the owner here?”

Xu Ying, somewhat embarrassed, replied, ”He once worked under me for a while, so he’s sort of one of us.”

The manager and the two security guards were shocked. The owner had once been Xu Ying’s subordinate! This... this was too much to believe!

However, the more respectful Xu Ying was toward this young man, the more cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Chu Hao waved his hand and said, ”We humble folk can’t afford to offend such a big shot.”

Xu Ying looked bitter. You, a humble folk? A man who can eradicate an Earth-level disaster! Forget Anli City, even in the entire Great Country of Huaxia, people with your strength are few and far between.

”The Taoist Master is joking. With your status, even the owner here isn’t fit to carry your shoes.”

True to form for someone from the Seventh District; their flattery is incredibly smooth.

Chu Hao waved his hand again and said, ”I usually keep a low profile and don’t like to cause trouble. But when I do make a move, even I scare myself. They shouldn’t have to leave; working here isn’t easy. Everyone’s just trying to scrape by.”

Xu Ying glared at the manager. ”Well? Aren’t you going to thank the Taoist Master?”

The puffy-faced manager hurriedly kowtowed, saying, ”Thank you, Taoist Master! Thank you!”

With that, Chu Hao swaggered into Ancient Moon Residence.

Xu Ying hurriedly followed.

Qin Zhengyu stood stunned for a moment before also heading inside.

A hundred thousand alpacas galloped through his mind as he wondered, just who the hell was Chu Hao?

It had to be said, the decor of Ancient Moon Residence was luxurious. The chandeliers cast a soft glow along the lengthy corridor, which wasn’t at all jarring to the eyes.

As they walked, numerous qipao-clad beauties with graceful figures and alluring curves bowed to them. Chu Hao was dazzled, swallowing hard.

So many beauties.

Upon reaching the center of Ancient Moon Residence, he was immediately captivated; the decor was in a classical style.

Chu Hao expressed his admiration, ”This renovation must have cost a fortune, huh?”

Xu Ying replied from the side, ”It did cost quite a sum. Master, do you see the vase over there? That’s a top-grade Song Dynasty replica of Blue and White Porcelain, valued at 30,000 on the market.”

Chu Hao practically drooled. These upper-class folks really know how to live. They’re not even worried someone might just walk off with the vase.

If Xu Ying knew what Chu Hao was thinking, she would be torn between laughter and exasperation. Who would dare steal from Ancient Moon Residence?

Inside the main hall, there was a large crowd. Everyone was dressed to the nines, except for Chu Hao, who looked completely out of place.

”Master, would you like a private room?” Xu Ying asked.

Chu Hao waved his hand dismissively. ”I’m just here to find a friend. Casual is fine.”

Xu Ying nodded.

At that moment, Qin Zhengyu approached Chu Hao and asked, ”Bro, who on earth are you?”

Chu Hao answered, ”Just an ordinary citizen.”

Qin Zhengyu curled his lips. Though he was relatively new to the workings of society, he had heard of the owner of Ancient Moon Residence. Even his own father would have to curry favor with him.

Qin Zhengyu said, ”Fine, don’t tell me. Oh! Thanks for your help last time. What happened to that unlucky Ghost?”

Chu Hao replied, ”I sent it off for reincarnation.”

Qin Zhengyu exclaimed excitedly, ”You can really exorcize Ghosts?”

Chu Hao hummed. ”Exorcising Ghosts is too crude. This Taoist Master only exterminates Ghosts.”

Qin Zhengyu believed him. That night, Chu Hao had charged into the hospital building and returned unscathed. According to his father, many people had died in there.

Just then, Chu Hao spotted Mu Yuxun. She was in an evening gown, her long, fair legs exuding a captivating allure. If she dressed like this at school, who knows how many boys would be smitten to death.

At that moment, Mu Yuxun was the center of attention, surrounded by many young men, all formally dressed, who were amusing her and making her giggle.

Chu Hao’s expression stiffened. The campus belle obviously knew this event required formal attire, but she didn’t even bother to tell me. The very thought infuriated him.
