Chapter 338 - Showing His Hand Intimidating
Given the situation, why not seize the opportunity to enlist the help of our future father-in-law?
With that realization, Jiang Hao's eyes lit up with understanding.
He turned to Soong Wanzhong with a look of excitement and exclaimed, “There's no inconvenience at all!”
”With Uncle's assistance, I'm confident we can quickly gather another batch of spiritual herbs!”
“I'll jot down a list later. Uncle, you could have your people keep an eye out for these items.”
Soong Wanzhong, hearing this, couldn't help but share in the joy. “Excellent!”
He then glanced at the two jade medicine bottles on the table and instructed Uncle Hai, “Da Hai, please summon those four.”
Turning to Jiang Hao, he continued, “We're not sure about the prohibitions associated with the Martial Cultivator Pill. We'll be relying on you, nephew, to oversee its use when the time comes.”
Jiang Hao, without any hesitation, nodded in agreement. Though there were no strict taboos when taking Mortal Pills, sometimes it was necessary to put on an act!
How else would people remember your generosity?
Jiang Hao was no saint; he wasn't one to perform good deeds anonymously without expecting anything in return.
Uncle Hai wasn't gone long before he returned with four individuals in tow to the study.
The one leading the group appeared somewhat frail, resembling a delicate scholar.
The third man was imposing and muscular, with a fierce gaze that exuded an intense aura of power.
The second and fourth were of average build, neither particularly tall nor thin, and strikingly identical—they must be twins.
Upon entering, Uncle Hai respectfully announced, “Master, Mr. Jiang, they have arrived.”
Upon seeing Soong Wanzhong, the four men bowed respectfully and greeted, “Greetings, Master!”
They then turned their attention to Jiang Hao, having noted Uncle Hai's respectful demeanor towards him.
Soong Wanzhong then stood and introduced them, “Nephew, these are my four trusted generals!”
”They've been with me since their youth. The eldest, Song Wen, may seem frail, but he's the most formidable among them.”
“The third, Song Wu, is a giant with a natural gift for strength that's nothing short of remarkable!”
“Second brother Song Tao and fourth brother Song Lue are twins—they're of one mind!” Soong Wanzhong declared, then turned to address the group. “Come now, all four of you, pay your respects to Mr. Jiang!”
Though taken aback, the four men complied, bowing their heads in unison. “Greetings, Mr. Jiang!”
Jiang Hao acknowledged their greeting with a nod. He then picked up two jade medicine bottles from the table and approached them. Despite their deference, a courtesy extended for Soong Wanzhong's sake, Jiang Hao noticed a rebellious streak in their eyes.
These men were Soong Wanzhong's, yet Jiang Hao had no intention of nurturing potential adversaries. A warning was in order.
He circled them, eyeing each man carefully. His scrutiny seemed to irk them, as Jiang Hao detected a flicker of anger in their expressions.
Stepping forward, Jiang Hao wore a smile as he extended his hand, placing it on the frail shoulder of the eldest brother. The moment his hand made contact, Song Wen's knees buckled, his shoulder feeling the weight of a colossal stone. Despite summoning all his strength, the oppressive force remained immovable.
Incredulous, Song Wen looked up to find Jiang Hao serene and effortless, as if exerting no force at all. Meeting Song Wen's astonished eyes, a slight smirk played on Jiang Hao's lips.
He then lifted his hand, moving to rest it on the shoulder of the second brother, Song Tao.
