Chapter 702: Chapter 700 Qualifications for the Future Clan Leader Candidate

A harbinger of extreme misfortune!

Upon hearing Wang Hao say this, everyone present was shocked!

Even without any contact, Fang Xiaoxue had already absorbed so much black Qi. If they were to really come into contact with this harbinger of extreme misfortune, who knows how formidable it might be!

"Master Wang!" Now, the way the group looked at Wang Hao had completely changed, and they began addressing him reverently, "Are there really such dangerous things in the mountains? If that’s the case, rashly entering the mountains..."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After all, they were insiders, accustomed to encountering all sorts of strange events far more frequently than ordinary people. Venturing into the mountains so recklessly might lead to unpredictable accidents.

"Don’t worry about that," Wang Hao was surprisingly confident.

When he had earlier seen Fang Xiaoxue, the dice of fortune in his arms had vibrated intensely, and that was merely from detecting the black Qi.

Now, no one could say for sure what lay within the mountains, but Wang Hao was absolutely certain that whatever it was had a profound significance for the dice of fortune, an attraction that could be described as fatal.

He had only absorbed the black Qi from Fang Xiaoxue, and he had already been able to manipulate it to such an extent through the dice of fortune, let alone what would happen if he absorbed the Evil Qi from that harbinger of extreme misfortune...

Damn, would he become Superman on the spot?

"I think Little Haozi’s words are worth considering," Fang Huai De at this moment reverted to the adventurous Great Elder of the Fang family, as he paused and tapped his walking stick, "After such an event, this old man insists on having a look. Those who wish to follow may come along, and those who do not can stay in the village and await orders. I shall not force anyone. Afterwards, the rewards will not be meager; everyone can rest assured on that."

With the Great Elder speaking out like that, who amongst those present would dare object?

Lin Shengyun, who had made a fool of himself in front of Wang Hao and was now blushing to the point of almost bleeding, followed with a sheepish silence.

With his status being the highest here, and him not voicing any objections, who else would dare to speak?

"Since everyone has decided," Wang Hao looked around the room and made a decisive clap, "then let’s all have a good rest tonight, and set out tomorrow morning at ten o’clock sharp!"

The people looked at each other, nodded, and agreed together, "Alright!"

That night, Wang Hao slept in a room made available for him by the villagers.

He and Bai Yaning were currently in a passionate phase of their relationship, but since Bai Yaning was pure and untouchable, letting him kiss her was already pushing the limit. Wang Hao naturally did not overstep his bounds, so the two slept separately, one in a room and one on the sofa, huddled up for the entire night.

The next early morning, Bai Yaning woke up early for a run.

As the saying goes, life depends on exercise, and to maintain her good figure, morning jogs were a habit for Bai Yaning. However, this time after she ran out, she came rushing back not after half an hour, and upon entering, she began tugging at Wang Hao’s arm.

"Stop sleeping, I found a great place," Bai Yaning said with an excited expression, "Come on, follow me, it’s really nice there!"

Wang Hao rubbed his sleepy eyes, "So early, it’s just past six, isn’t it..."

He now had the dice of fortune to protect him, and after several enhancements, his physical attributes had reached a point where superfluous exercise was no longer necessary; thus, what he enjoyed most was sleeping until he naturally woke.

But now Bai Yaning was pulling him out, and naturally, he would go.

Quickly getting ready, Wang Hao followed Bai Yaning to the riverside, and the sight instantly imbued him with a refreshing sense of exhilaration.

The river water was crystal clear, accompanied by the sounds of frogs croaking. You could see the pebbles on the riverbed clearly, and occasionally spot glimpses of small white fish darting around. Such clear and clean river water was truly rare. In recent years, due to the widespread use of chemical fertilizers, even the countryside around cities was devoid of clean rivers.

Bai Yaning rolled up her pant legs, revealing her legs as white as spring onions, and waded into the river barefoot, while Wang Hao sat on the grassy bank and watched her, laughing, "The water’s so cold this early in the morning, and you’re not afraid?"

Bai Yaning smiled, "With you here, I’m not afraid of anything, even if the sky falls!"

Ah, such sweet words...they sure hit the spot...

"Little rascal, watch Brother Hao!" Wang Hao suddenly got excited, rolled up his pant legs, and followed her into the water.

The river was only about a foot deep and did not feel cold even though it was early in the morning; walking on the river bottom was unexpectedly comfortable.

"No wonder you dared to come down," said Wang Hao, smiling and holding Bai Yaning’s hand, "You already knew the water isn’t cold, right?"

Bai Yaning chuckled, "Of course, I’m not that foolish!"

This girl, she’s certainly not foolish—the way she has a grip on someone as awesome as me. Heh, heh...

The two played and laughed in the river, and Wang Hao even caught a few fish for fun. In the blink of an eye, it was past nine in the morning. At this moment, Fang Wenbin approached from a distance, walking over and saying, "A pair of dogs, frolicking so intensely early in the morning. Haha, Brother Hao, did you sleep well last night?"

"Old Fang is here?" Wang Hao asked with a big smile. "You look pretty good. Has Xiao Xue recovered?"

"With Brother Hao’s help, of course, it worked," Fang Wenbin replied, squatting by the river. "She’s almost back to normal. She’s not shivering from cold anymore, and she had two large bowls of porridge this morning. Although she’s still a bit weak, she’s able to get out of bed and move around. My great-grandfather is overjoyed; he can’t stop grinning." As he spoke, he suddenly looked around furtively and lowered his voice, "Brother Hao, my great-grandfather mentioned earlier that I handled this matter extremely well. I was an investor in War Wolf, and earning seven or eight hundred million from it shouldn’t be an issue. He is now considering recommending me as a candidate for the next Family Head of Fang—an important matter. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao immediately froze.

A candidate for the next Family Head of Fang? Holy shit, if that actually happens, it would be amazing!

"Really? For real?" Wang Hao eagerly helped Bai Yaning out of the river and asked, "Did great-grandfather really say that?"

"What status does my great-grandfather hold?" Fang Wenbin asked excitedly, "Would there be any falsehood in what he says himself? Right now, the situation is that with an investment of a little over thirty million, I’ve earned back more than eight hundred million. Our Fang family has never seen such profit margins. With this one investment, I’m qualified to be among the candidates for the next Family Head, but the biggest issue now is that our branch’s foundation is still weak. The evaluation of candidates from the younger generation in a year’s time requires turning ten billion in total assets into a hundred billion in revenue. I’m currently not there yet. Brother Hao, do you think I have a chance?"

"A hundred billion in revenue?" Wang Hao frowned upon hearing this figure.

To be honest, if it was a few billion, he could confidently assure Fang Wenbin. But a hundred billion is certainly not that easy. There aren’t many top companies whose annual net profit reaches this figure, and now Fang Wenbin is aiming for it...

It’s nearly impossible.

"To be frank, I don’t have much confidence in this," Wang Hao said, stroking his chin before adding, "However, Old Fang, where there’s a will, there’s a way. The hope may not be great, but at least we have a chance to try. Didn’t you used to not even have the opportunity to compete?"

"Yeah, that’s right," Fang Wenbin immediately cheered up on hearing this. "Brother Hao is truly Brother Hao, awakening someone who was lost in a dream! I was worried about the possibility of failure, but now that you mention it, just having this opportunity is enough to make me happy. Ha ha ha! Opportunity, this is an opportunity! At least I have the qualifications to try now—before, I was just living aimlessly."

"Ha ha, you bumpkin," Wang Hao patted his hands clean, then washed his feet and put on his shoes. "Don’t worry, I can’t make guarantees about other stuff, but I can certainly give it a shot to help you. If you become the future Family Head of Fang, that’s a massive boost to my reputation, right?"

"Is that even a question?" Fang Wenbin excitedly rubbed his hands together. "If I become the Family Head, you just say the word, Brother Hao, and I’ll make sure to get things done right for you!"

This was no empty boast.

What does the concept of a future Family Head signify? Just look at Hong Tianjun!

A hundred billion dollar company could be gifted away with just one word. If Fang Wenbin became the future Family Head of Fang, how could the benefits Wang Hao would receive be anything but plentiful?

How difficult is it to make money these days? Yet, for the future Family Head of Fang, a single word could easily throw a hundred billion dollar company Wang Hao’s way for him to play with—without batting an eyelid!

"Ha ha, let’s strive for it together," said Wang Hao, slapping Fang Wenbin’s shoulder with force. "If there’s a chance, there’s a way."

The two laughed heartily together.

After the laughter subsided, Wang Hao checked his watch and said, "Alright, it’s nearly ten, let’s head back. Let’s take care of things here first and then start discussing your candidacy for Family Head."

"Ok!" Fang Wenbin nodded vigorously. "Brother Hao, my future relies on you. I know you have many ideas; let’s give it our all to secure this!"

"Absolutely!"

The three of them then headed back to the village.

By this time, Fang Huai De and others were already packed up and ready to go. Wang Hao looked around; although Fang Xiaoxue still looked a little pale, she seemed to be in good spirits, and upon seeing him, she gazed at him with her large beautiful eyes, stealing glances. Yet, after looking around, he didn’t see the great fraudster Lin Shengyun anywhere...

"Where is Master Lin?" Wang Hao casually asked. "Why don’t I see him?"

"That charlatan from the pugilistic world has no face to show up here," Fang Huai De snorted disdainfully. "He fled in the middle of the night yesterday. Humph, luckily, you came this time; I dread to think what could have happened to my dear Xiaoxue."

By the look on Fang Huai De’s face, it was clear he wasn’t pleased. However, letting Lin Shengyun escape without any consequence was like sparing him a path to life, in a way.

"Brother Wang Hao," at this moment Fang Xiaoxue approached playfully, took hold of his sleeve, and said with a giggle, "Thank you for saving me yesterday. I was a bit out of it before, but after sleeping on it last night, I realized—you’re the lead actor in War Wolf, aren’t you? I really love that movie; I’ve watched it three times! And oh, the series Legend of the Swordsman you starred in, I love too. I think you and Brother Linghu are just the same, like true knights-errant!"

Oh my, upon hearing Fang Xiaoxue’s words, even Wang Hao, who prided himself on having skin as thick as city walls, blushed!

To be compared with the great swordsmen, how embarrassing, how utterly embarrassing!
