Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao had once casually bought a car worth a hundred million and a villa of the same price. He was quite the big spender. But when it came to food, it wasn’t like the stuff offered major health benefits or anything. A plate of fish roe this costly was just a rip-off.

Soon after, the waitress brought over a small scale and placed the fish roe on it.

Li Yin asked, ”What’s this for?”

The waitress said, ”Our fish roe here is sold by weight.”

”Sold by... by weight?” Li Yin’s mouth gaped open.

What a joke! Weighing food before you eat it? Li Yin asked, ”How much per pound?”

The polite waitress hadn’t replied when an out-of-place laugh cut in, ”Ladies, bringing these bumpkins here for dinner really drags down your status, doesn’t it?”

Seeing someone mock her for no reason, Li Yin retorted angrily, ”Who the hell are you? Mind your own business.”

The man was quite handsome and dressed in a suit. The watch he wore alone was worth at least seven to eight hundred thousand.

The man snapped his fingers and instructed, ”Waiter, serve this table three pounds of yellow croaker with lotus seeds, and bring a bottle of Petrus as well—put it on my tab.”

Li Haizhen’s mouth fell open. The three pounds of yellow croaker with lotus seeds alone cost ninety thousand. Coupled with the wine at one hundred and twenty thousand a bottle, the total came to two hundred and ten thousand.

And that was just the appetizer.

What was this man up to, offering them food and wine out of the blue?

The man approached and stood next to Lan Qi, smiling. ”Beautiful, may I sit down and join you?”

Lan Qi responded indifferently, ”Is there no space?”

The man’s eyes gleamed with a peculiar light as he looked at Li Yin and asked, ”Will you move?”

Everyone was speechless. Where was this man’s sense of superiority coming from? Did he think he was so special because he was handsome or rich? Besides, who here even knows you?

Li Yin, annoyed, said, ”I’m not moving.”

The man didn’t seem angry; instead, he was somewhat amused as he lowered his gaze towards Li Haizhen and said, ”What about you? Will you move?”

His eyes, at that moment, turned incredibly sharp, like those of a ferocious beast, filled with the scent of blood, staring down Li Haizhen.

Li Haizhen had intended to refuse, but the look in the man’s eyes made him instinctively feel his hair stand on end, as if a sharp knife were poised to pierce his heart.

Li Haizhen swallowed hard; he was so intimidated that he actually stood up.

The man smoothly sat down, picked up a fork, and began to eat the roe, savoring it. ”This place’s roe still tastes as it used to.”

Chu Hao’s expression remained calm. He could tell there was something off about this man.

He detected a smell of blood on the man—the kind only a killer possessed. The murderous intent he had directed at Li Haizhen earlier was unprecedented.

After a bite, the man looked at Chu Hao and Lan Qi, remarking playfully, ”Tsk, tsk... who would have thought that someone from the Wan Lie Family would be dining with a little whippersnapper.”

The Wan Lie Family? What on earth was he talking about?

However, a flicker passed through Lan Qi’s eyes, and she frowned. ”Who are you?”

The man laughed heartily and kept eating his roe. ”Me? Saying my name might shock you a bit. Ever heard of the Three Truths Sect? I am Gui Yan, one of the Seven Sons of Three Truth.”

The Three Truths Sect. Gui Yan.

Lan Qi stood up at once, clearly panicked. ”What do you want?”

Li Yin and the others were utterly confused. What was going on? They couldn’t understand at all.

Chu Hao, on the other hand, understood a bit. This gentlemanly-looking man was from the Three Truths Sect... Wasn’t that the same group the Ghost Lady was part of?

Gui Yan took a sip of red wine, a faint smile on his face. ”Don’t be so nervous. I’m not looking for you. The one I’m looking for is him.”

Gui Yan raised his wine glass and cheerfully gestured toward Chu Hao. Lan Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, fully aware of how significant Gui Yan’s background was.

The Seven Sons of Three Truth were each a terrifying existence. It was said that if even one of them hid in the shadows of a city, they could plunge it into chaos. Few people knew what they looked like, but their reputation was immense.

Gui Yan, still smiling, said, ”Kid, you have two paths. The first is to give me the Emperor’s Yellow Seal. The second is for me to kill you, then I’ll take the Emperor’s Yellow Seal.”

Lan Qi sighed in relief. So, he was after the Emperor’s Yellow Seal. Being from the Yin and Yang Realm, she had naturally received some intelligence, but she had never imagined she would encounter Chu Hao here. In fact, she knew Chu Hao; back in King Chu’s Tomb, she had been the masked woman.

Gui Yan was full of confidence, gently swirling the wine in his glass, looking at Chu Hao with amusement.

Truth be told, Chu Hao was speechless. He had just returned to the Yang Realm, and already someone was after him—and again, it was about the Emperor’s Yellow Seal. How had it been exposed? The Emperor’s Yellow Seal was of immense significance.

Gui Yan asked, ”What is your choice?”

One had to admit, this man was very confident. Unlike the people Chu Hao had dealt with before, he exuded a bloody, dangerous aura from head to toe.

Chu Hao looked at Gui Yan, then glanced around. ”You came alone?” he asked nonchalantly.

Gui Yan shrugged. ”To take the Emperor’s Yellow Seal, I alone am enough.”

Chu Hao looked out the window. ”No helicopter?”

Gui Yan looked at Chu Hao curiously. ”What would I need a helicopter for?”

Chu Hao let out a breath and said lightly, ”Last time, a group of people similar to you also wanted the Emperor’s Yellow Seal. They made a big scene: helicopters, firearms, and oh... they even brought missiles.”

The group of people Chu Hao was talking about was, naturally, Little Ying.

”DING... Host is playing it cool. 1,000 Pretentiousness Points awarded.”

Upon hearing his words, everyone’s hearts raced.

Helicopters? Firearms? They even brought missiles?! My God! Wasn’t that a bit over the top?

Even Gui Yan was a bit stunned. Was this kid telling the truth, or was it just too far-fetched?

Chu Hao shook his head. ”So, as I said, your display is quite small. Those people came with missiles to blow up buildings. What do you have?”

Gui Yan said coldly, ”To kill you, I don’t need missiles.”

”Is that so?”

Chu Hao’s eyes turned cold as he released his terrifying aura. Such was the power of his Inner Strength that even the table began to shake.

Gui Yan narrowed his eyes. ”I underestimated you. But so what? In my eyes, you are already dead...!”

BOOM!

A golden stick suddenly elongated like a bullet and struck Gui Yan’s abdomen with force. The unexpected attack caught him completely off guard, sending him flying backward to crash into the wall.

The people in the restaurant screamed. Seeing a fight break out, they immediately fled. Chu Hao, shouldering the Ritian Stick, said calmly, ”Have all you folks had enough of the show?”

At his words, nearly half the people seated in the restaurant stood up. Each was dressed impeccably, their gazes cold.

These people had entered the restaurant one after another after Chu Hao and his companions had arrived.
