Ghost Catching System

The blond muscular man, faced with Chu Hao, felt as if he had lost his ability to speak. The ruthless individual before him was simply too ferocious.

Chu Hao calmly looked at him and asked, ”Where is the Long Chen Financial Group auction house located?”

Filled with fear, the blond man knelt on the ground with a thud and pleaded, ”Heavenly Master, I beg you, spare me. My uncle is just a nobody at the Long Chen Financial Group. I really have nothing to do with them.”

The vendor of bronze artifacts heard what the muscular man said. He seethed with anger, incensed that someone would use the name of Long Chen Financial Group to swindle his bronze artifact. But he dared not speak up, because this person before him was Chu Mad Demon, known for killing and looting.

Could it be that he had taken an interest in my bronze artifact?

The muscular blond man’s pleas were childlike, utterly lacking his former imposing air. Perhaps he would have stood up to someone else, but Chu Hao was a fourteenth-star Yin Yang Great Master. How could he dare to fight against that?

Seeing a grown man scared to such an extent provoked laughter within Chu Hao. It seems just keeping a stern face is the model for showing off. I was born to be pretentious.

Chu Hao’s expression remained icy as he deliberately showed dissatisfaction and demanded, ”I am asking you where the Long Chen Financial Group’s auction house is.”

”Ding... Host has gained 5,000 Pretentiousness Points for extreme intimidation.”

Chu Hao was ecstatic. By this early morning, he had already earned 15,000 Pretentiousness Points.

The skinny man beside him still had some sense and, shivering, said, ”It’s up ahead, take a left then a right, and you’re there. It’s very close.”

Chu Hao no longer looked at them, but his gaze fell on the bronze artifact that had fallen to the ground. It was a small bronze ding. If it were an ordinary item, Chu Hao could tell at a glance, but the totem on the bronze ding had a flavor of an ancient curse mark.

Chu Hao bent down and picked it up.

”Ding... Discovered a Fourth-stage Bronze Ding Talisman.”

Chu Hao was startled, followed by a rush of elation. What kind of luck is this, to actually stumble upon a Fourth Stage Cursed Instrument? But why does it seem so ordinary? A bronze ding with a curse mark must be extraordinary, yet it appeared too common on the outside, hiding a Fourth Stage curse mark within.

Holding the bronze ding, Chu Hao inquired, ”Whose ding is this?”

The blond muscular man was stupefied. Then the vendor of the bronze ding said, trembling, ”It’s, it’s mine.”

Chu Hao asked, ”How much?”

The vendor despaired. Chu Hao really did intend to take things by force. Would he also kill him?

”Three hundred thousand. I wanted to use the money to treat my wife’s illness,” the vendor said, his voice choked with emotion.

Chu Hao said, ”Give me your bank account number.”

The vendor dazedly gave Chu Hao his bank account number. Soon after, he heard the notification for a text message. Taking out his phone to check, the man was in disbelief.

On his phone, it showed a bank deposit of 10,000,000!

Chu Hao asked, ”Is that enough?”

”It’s enough,” the vendor nodded, still in a state of shock.

Chu Hao strode away, leaving behind a crowd of dumbfounded people.

The blond muscular man dared not linger. He quickly took his men and left. Damn this Killing Star! Every word he says makes my heart race. I can’t stay here any longer!

Everyone was curious about what Chu Hao intended to do at the Long Chen Auction.

As Chu Hao made his way, someone shouted, ”Chu Hao is coming?”

”Holy crap, Chu Mad Demon is here? Run!”

People who saw Chu Hao were astonished and quickly made way. Some rolled up their wares and fled, leaving Chu Hao speechless, as if they thought he was going to rob them.

Chu Hao walked down the main road as people on the street moved to either side, making way for him as if he were a high-ranking official.

”Ding... The Host gains 5,000 Pretentiousness Points for walking with an imposing air.”

These Pretentiousness Points sure are satisfying! Chu Hao laughed heartily inwardly.

”That’s Chu Hao. He looks so young.”

”What is he doing in the market, heading towards the Long Chen Financial Group’s auction house? Looks like he’s up to something.”

As everyone saw Chu Hao, some were puzzled, others wary, feeling that he wasn’t like the mad killer the media portrayed him to be.

”Chu!”

Qin Zhengyu was about to call out Chu Hao’s name when his father, Qin Zhengguo, pulled him back. ”Dad, why are you pulling me back?” Qin Zhengyu asked.

Qin Zhengguo said, ”You are no longer suited to mingle with him.”

”Why not?” Qin Zhengyu didn’t understand.

Qin Zhengguo looked at his son and sighed. ”It’s best to keep your distance from a pioneer of the times like him. He has offended too many people. First, all of Taoism denounced him, and now the financial groups are after him. If you’re not careful, you could become a target too.”

After hearing his father’s words, Qin Zhengyu fell into deep thought.

The arrival of Chu Hao caused quite a stir.

At this moment, inside the Long Chen Auction, the hall was spacious and lavishly decorated. Long Chen Financial Group had set up a high-end auction in an extremely short amount of time, attracting many wealthy businessmen. In addition, there were many foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes sitting in the hall.

A person on stage announced, ”Next up for auction is a First-Stage Curse Mark, with a starting bid of three hundred million.”

The starting bid for a First-Stage Curse Mark was 300,000,000, indicating just how valuable these Curse Marks were.

Bidders competed, each calling out their prices.

At the entrance, a waiter saw Chu Hao and approached with a smile. ”Sir, do you have a reserved seat?”

Chu Hao ignored him and said, ”Is this the Long Chen Financial Group’s auction house?”

”Yes, sir,” the waiter replied politely.

Chu Hao said indifferently, ”I declare that the Long Chen Financial Group’s auction house is now being robbed by me.”

The waiter was stunned, staring at Chu Hao like an idiot. Where did this lunatic come from? ”Kick him out! Where did this lunatic come from?” the waiter turned hostile immediately.

Several security guards approached to apprehend Chu Hao, but as they got close, they heard ”BANG! BANG! BANG!” and all the security guards were sent flying, wailing on the ground.

The waiter’s mouth gaped open.

The waiter shrieked and ran toward the inside of the auction house, shouting, ”Somebody is causing trouble!”

Chu Hao ignored him and strode into the auction house. They’re reporting that I’m a murderer and a thief, right? Today, Brother Hao is going to put on a real show of killing and looting.

Inside the auction house, everyone was bidding on items when they heard someone shouting. A middle-aged man came over, grabbed the waiter, and asked, ”What happened?”

The waiter hurriedly said, ”Manager, someone is causing trouble. He said he wants to rob us.”

The manager was flabbergasted. Robbing the Long Chen Financial Group? Who was crazy enough to dare such a thing?

By then, Chu Hao had already entered the venue. He saw a crowd of people bidding in the auction hall; a First-Stage Cursed Instrument had already reached a price of 430,000,000.

Chu Hao shouted, ”One billion!”

The crowd was in an uproar, turning their heads in disbelief. Bidding one billion for a First-Stage Curse Mark was wildly extravagant.

The waiter quickly said to the manager, ”Manager, that’s the man causing trouble.”
