Widow sister-in-law: Silly boy, be gentler!

Wang Qiang looked at Lin Hao with a ferocious expression, taking steps towards him, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.

Lin Hao felt a chill rising in his heart and hurriedly stepped back two paces.

"What are you trying to do? I am Old Lin’s disciple. You wouldn’t dare lay a finger on me."

"Heh heh, of course, I wouldn’t dare touch you, I’ll just cut you into a thousand pieces."

Wang Qiang said with a malicious laugh.

After speaking, his figure suddenly lunged forward, charging at Lin Hao and striking towards him with his palm.

Bang!

Lin Hao hastily engaged in combat but was utterly unable to fend off his opponent. He was sent flying with a palm strike, spitting blood and falling to the ground, his body trembling violently, evidently seriously injured.

"Lin Hao, you waste, you can’t even block a single move of mine. Do you even deserve to call yourself Old Lin’s disciple? Go take a good look at yourself in the mirror; you’re not even worth a fart!"

Wang Qiang leaned over and grabbed Lin Hao by the neck, staring at him viciously.

At this moment, Lin Hao, held in Wang Qiang’s grasp, was completely unable to struggle.

"Wang Qiang, you can’t kill him; he’s Old Lin’s apprentice!"

An abrupt voice rang out; it was Family Head Lin Bo, who was glaring at Wang Qiang with a furious expression.

"Ha ha, so that’s the case. Well then, that gives me even more reason not to let him go."

Wang Qiang said with a sinister smile, "Family Head Lin, you’d better keep your mouth shut, or I can’t guarantee I won’t do something crazy."

Lin Bo clenched his teeth but knew all too well that Wang Qiang’s strength far exceeded his own, so he had no choice but to remain silent, his eyes, however, were filled with intense hatred, as if he wanted to tear Wang Qiang limb from limb.

"Wang Qiang, I’m telling you, if you dare touch a single hair on him, my Lin Family will not let you off!"

Lin Bo shouted coldly.

"Oh really? Then I must witness this for myself!"

Wang Qiang let out a cold laugh, slightly tightening his wrist, and Lin Hao immediately felt a sense of suffocation, his face turning red.

"Wang Qiang, if you dare hurt a single hair on my apprentice, my Lin Family will annihilate you and your entire clan!"

Seeing this, Lin Bo erupted in rage.

He flashed towards Wang Qiang in an attempt to attack.

Although Lin Hao’s father was not particularly strong, because he was Lin Hao’s master, Lin Bo’s cultivation speed was relatively fast.

"Hmph, a mere third level of the Innate stage, I want to see what you can do to fight me!"

Wang Qiang let out a cold laugh, reached into the air, grasped a giant rock, and hurled it at Lin Bo.

Boom!

The giant rock crashed to the ground, instantly exploding and turning into ashes.

Although Lin Bo was not weak in cultivation, he was no match for Wang Qiang and was sent flying in an instant.

Bang! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Lin Bo’s body slammed against the wall, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face pale.

"Master, save me!"

Lin Hao urgently called out for help.

Hearing Lin Hao’s cries, Wang Qiang’s face fluctuated uncertainly and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Lin Bo, rest assured, I will spare Lin Hao’s life for now. However, you’d better spend this time healing. I will have someone monitor the Lin Family. By then, you’d better not blame me for being ruthless."

Seeing that Wang Qiang had finally relented, Lin Hao let out a long sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.

Lin Hao knew he had narrowly escaped death.

But Lin Hao knew that he and Lin Hao had only one last chance at survival—escape.

Lin Hao was aware of Wang Qiang’s terrifying strength; not only that, but this man’s personality was also very unpredictable, he would turn hostile without a moment’s notice.

"Fine, us Lin Family members will not fear any threats!"

Lin Bo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said loudly.

"Humph!"

Wang Qiang snorted coldly and turned to leave the room. Before he went, he glanced at Lin Hao lying on the ground and said, "Stay put and wait for my summons."

"You just wait!"

Seeing Wang Qiang leave, Lin Hao’s eyes filled with boundless hatred, silently vowing that one day, he would make Wang Qiang pay.

After Wang Qiang left, Lin Bo immediately helped Lin Hao up and asked with concern, "Hao’er, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Father, I’m fine; I just need to rest a bit."

Lin Hao shook his head, then turned to the Lin Family members beside him and said, "Everyone, tonight, I’m going to trouble you to help guard the Lin family estate. I want to be alone for a while."

"Don’t worry, we’ll do our best to keep an eye on this place."

A family’s manager naturally needs a leader, so this matter had to be personally dealt with by Lin Bo.

Lin Hao nodded at his words and then sat on a chair, beginning to meditate and regulate his breathing.

His organs were shattered, and although his meridians had recovered, he still needed to slowly recuperate.

Wang Qiang’s cultivation was very strong, and even though he had only sustained minor injuries, it would take several years to return to his peak condition. This time would be enough for Lin Hao to do many things.

"Wang Qiang, once my injuries are fully healed, you will see what I’m capable of!"

Lin Hao gritted his teeth, his face twisted into a fierce scowl.

...

"Lin Hao’s cultivation is just at the fifth level of the Innate stage, but he possesses the strength of the eighth level. It’s truly baffling; how did he manage that?"

Wang Qiang looked at the information on Lin Hao on his computer, his eyes filled with confusion.

"It seems I’ve lost this big gamble,"

Lin Hao sighed.

"That’s right, you definitely won’t be Wang Qiang’s match, so I suggest seeking refuge with the Li Family, at least you can save your life."

The voice of Old Hei echoed in Lin Hao’s mind.

"I will not surrender. Even if it means death, I will make Wang Qiang pay!"

Lin Hao said through clenched teeth.

"Ah, forget it, do as you wish, I’ve already done my best."

Old Hei sighed helplessly, then fell silent.

Lin Hao knew that if not for his rapid advancement in strength, Wang Qiang would not be his match. However, he couldn’t reveal that he had already regained his strength.

"Wang Qiang, you think you can bully me, Lin Hao? Since you have been unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust!"

Lin Hao swore to himself silently.

...

Time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.

That evening, the figure of Lin Hao walked out of the living room and reached the outside of the manor.

"Hm?"

Lin Hao looked at the crowd in front of him, a hint of surprise on his face. He hadn’t expected that in just a short two months, the scale of the Lin Family manor had expanded considerably.

"Could it be that the Li Family has given some benefits to the Lin Family?"

Lin Hao thought to himself, scanning the crowd and quickly spotted Li Qinglong.

"Hehe, this Li Qinglong, truly a cunning fox."

Lin Hao glanced at Li Qinglong in the distance, a cold curve forming on his lips.

"Lin Hao, how dare you trespass into forbidden ground?"

Suddenly, a rebuking voice came from afar.

Lin Hao turned to look and saw Li Qinglong approaching with a group of experts.

Lin Hao sneered and said, "What now, Li Qinglong? What do you plan to do? I’m Lin Hao; am I not entitled to enter the Lin Family manor?"

"The Lin Family manor does indeed allow outsiders to enter, but you are not one of the Lin Family. What right do you have to enter?"

Li Qinglong frowned and said icily.

Lin Hao scoffed, mocking, "What, afraid now that my strength has reached the fifth level of the Innate stage?"

"Lin Hao, I warn you, don’t insult our Li Family again!"

Li Qinglong said coldly.

"Hehe, insult you? Don’t flatter yourselves."

Lin Hao jeered, knowing Li Qinglong feared his revenge on the Lin Family.

Li Qinglong took a deep breath, his eyes coldly fixed on Lin Hao, and said, "If you’re unwilling to hand over those items, then I’ll simply take them by force. The Lin Family manor is a Li Family asset. Do you think the Li Family would fear the Lin Family’s retaliation?"

As Li Qinglong spoke, his stature suddenly surged.

He had already broken through to the seventh level of the Innate stage, only half a step away from the eighth. Therefore, his combat power was now much stronger than before.

Feeling the aura that Li Qinglong emitted, Lin Hao’s pupils constricted.

"This aura, how is it possible, Li Qinglong, you’ve just broken through to the seventh level of the Innate stage, haven’t you?"

Lin Hao said, his face showing shock.

"Hehe, what’s so strange about me breaking through to the seventh level of the Innate stage? Lin Hao, you must hand over those items today!"

Li Qinglong said with a sneer.

Lin Hao’s expression flickered.

After Li Qinglong’s advancement to the seventh level of the Innate stage, his strength had indeed increased a lot.

However, Lin Hao’s own strength was not to be underestimated compared to Li Qinglong.

Lin Hao had been baptized by the Dragon Ball; although his cultivation had fallen to the sixth level of the Innate stage, his combat power was comparable to the ninth.

"Lin Hao, why the hesitation?"

Li Qinglong said impatiently.
