Chapter 275 - You Want to Run after You Have Smashed It, but Can You Run Away?
“Crash!”
Before Jiang Hao could even respond, a sudden shattering of glass echoed through the air!
Everyone jumped in alarm, with Jiang's mother roaring in anger.
“Who's the little terror throwing rocks at our window in the middle of the night?!”
……
Meanwhile, in a room across the street, a figure shrouded in a black robe peered at Jiang Hao's now darkened home, a flicker of confusion crossing his hidden face.
“Hmm? What are the odds?”
“Has this high schooler picked up on something?”
The room fell silent once more before a soft mutter broke the stillness.
“Maybe I'm overthinking it.”
He took one last glance at the room across the way.
“Objective accomplished. Time to make my exit.”
With that, he rose, methodically dismantled the sniper rifle beneath him, packed it into a case, and walked out with it in hand.
Back in Jiang Hao's residence.
Jiang Hao flicked the light switch back on.
The intense surge from his danger perception had vanished in an instant!
As the light flooded the room, everyone sprang to their feet and turned their attention to the shattered window.
Jiang Hao approached the broken window and instinctively cast his gaze to the building opposite.
In a flash, he caught sight of a black-robed figure darting past a window in the opposite building.
Just then, Jiang Hao's phone buzzed to life.
He checked it to find a message from an unknown number.
“This was merely a warning! You don't want to cross the Jia Family!
Value your life? Bring the antidote, kneel with every step you take, and come beg for forgiveness in Room 3 of the special care ward on the 16th floor of Tianhe Second Hospital!”
Jiang Hao's expression turned icy as a dangerous glint sparked in his eyes.
“The Jia Family?”
“They dare to threaten me? Demand an apology?”
“But I fear they won't be able to handle the kind of apology I'd offer.”
A cold laugh echoed in Jiang Hao's mind as he remembered the fleeting glimpse of the black-robed figure.
“Let's see what you've got that makes you bold enough to threaten me!”
At that moment, Jiang’s mother and Jiang’s father were picking up shards of glass from the floor, muttering to themselves.
“Why did the glass shatter out of nowhere?”
“Could some mischievous kid have thrown something at our window?”
“That's impossible! We're on the 16th floor!”
……
Seeing this, Jiang Hao had no choice but to concoct a lie.
“A freak wind just blew through. Maybe we didn't shut the windows tight enough!”
“Zixuan, can you help clean this up? I'm going to head down and buy some duct tape to patch it up temporarily to keep the wind out. We'll get it replaced tomorrow.”
With that, he left before his parents could respond.
Jiang’s mother watched the door close behind him and murmured to herself.
“The boy's still so hasty!”
……
Jiang Hao hurried down the stairs, then unleashed his Third Grade Insect Controlling Arts, summoning swarms of flying insects from within a hundred-meter radius.
In a flash, he pinpointed the Black-cloaked Man's location.
He looked in a certain direction, a hint of menace playing across his lips, and whispered,
“He's got quite the nerve to run!”
With that, he swiftly made his way to the spot where the insect he had controlled was located.
Before long, Jiang Hao caught sight of the black-robed figure he had seen earlier, moving off into the distance.
Instead of following directly, he took a detour through a narrow alley.
……
Around the corner of the alley, the shadowy figure in the black robe hurried past.
Then, out of the night's silence, a voice rang out sharply.
“The moral decay of society is truly lamentable!”
“A grown man, sneaking around, smashing windows.”
“Think you can smash and dash? Think you can escape?”
