Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 328: Time to Make a Move

"What?!" exclaimed a voice incredulously.

"Young Master Gou, despite being at the Late-stage Heavenly Origin realm, couldn't even defeat him!"

"Who exactly is this young man, to be so strong?"

Gasps of astonishment rippled through the onlookers one by one, many of whom wore expressions of delight.

"Admit your mistake yet, bastard?" Yelling loudly, Mo Hao rushed to the edge of the large pit with a face full of madness and peered down at Young Master Gou.

"I was wrong, I was wrong! Don't kill me; I'll release her right away and never do this sort of thing again!" Young Master Gou loudly begged, immediately relenting.

This scene unequivocally declared Mo Hao's victory.

"Who would have thought that this young man would actually defeat Master Gou; it's truly shocking," murmured an onlooker in awe.

"Yeah, yeah, I initially thought he was done for. Never expected things to take such a turn."

"Haha, I saw this outcome from the beginning. How could he dare to act if he wasn't skilled?"

The spectators continued to discuss among themselves, one by one.

At the same time, a system notification resounded in Mo Hao's sea of consciousness. He had successfully acted pretentiously and earned five hundred Pretentious Points.

'Success!' Mo Hao was elated. 'I have finally succeeded in my pretentious display!'

'Ahahaha, I've finally succeeded! This is the first bucket of gold I've earned!' His previous failed attempts at acting pretentiously, mainly thwarted by Jiang Chen's secret interventions, had left him incredibly frustrated.

This time, even though his boasting act had only gained him a little, he was nonetheless extremely happy.

At this moment, assisted by a group of his guards, Young Master Gou emerged from the large pit. His eyes, filled with fear, were fixed on Mo Hao.

Casting a cold glance at Young Master Gou and his entourage, Mo Hao then walked over to the frightened young girl. He comforted her with a few words and led her away.

However, just as they were about to leave, a thunderous roar quickly approached from a distance. "Hold it right there!" A streak of light transformed into a middle-aged man, landing on the roof beside the street.

"Thinking you can just walk away after beating up my clan's young master? You must be dreaming!"

"Today, I'll show you what cruelty really means!" he declared menacingly.

The moment the middle-aged man appeared, Young Master Gou's face was overtaken by an ecstatic expression.

That was because this man was a guest elder in his clan—a cultivator of the Inquiring Journey realm!

Young Master Gou believed that nothing unexpected could happen this time, as, in his eyes, the strength Mo Hao had displayed had not reached the Inquiring Journey realm.

Moreover, he could already envision the pitiful sight of Mo Hao, defeated by their clan's guest elder, wailing and begging for mercy.

A surge of excitement about imminent revenge welled up from the bottom of Young Master Gou's heart, dispelling his earlier fears and restoring his arrogance.

"Guest Elder Liu! This bastard broke my leg; capture him alive—I want to make his life worse than death!" Young Master Gou shouted loudly, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Mo Hao, directing his plea toward Guest Elder Liu on the roof.

At the same time, the people around them were also dumbfounded; they hadn't expected the Gou Clan's guest elder to arrive so quickly.

"It's over, it's over! That young man can't escape now!" lamented a voice in the crowd.

"Not only can he not escape, but he'll also lose his life!"

"I feel sorry for that girl. Originally, if she had just complied with Young Master Gou, the matter might have been settled without any inhuman treatment. Now, she'll surely face his redirected anger, and her fate will be a thousand times worse!"

"Yes, yes, I knew from the start that opposing the Gou Clan would doom this young man!"

One by one, the onlookers began talking again, distancing themselves even further. Those who had previously praised Mo Hao had all run away.

"You should go, don't worry about me," said the young girl to Mo Hao, her face filled with despair.

"Don't worry. We will be fine," Mo Hao assured her with a serious expression. Inside, however, he was nearly bursting with laughter. 'Guest Elder Liu? Another damn do-gooder sticking his face out for me to hit!'

At that moment, Guest Elder Liu charged straight at Mo Hao, shouting condescendingly, "You scum, kneel and wail!"

"Aargh! I'll fight you to the end!" Mo Hao let out another 'desperate' scream and unleashed a punch.

What appeared to be a feeble punch collided with Guest Elder Liu's fist and instantly sent him soaring through the air.

Not only was he sent flying, but a mist of blood also sprayed from Guest Elder Liu, leaving him severely injured and incapacitated.

This déjà vu scene rendered everyone within a radius of dozens of streets utterly silent.

Anyone who had been paying attention to the situation was completely stunned. What on Earth?

A guy at the Mysterious Platform realm using a self-harming type of secret art to take down a Heavenly Origin realm cultivator and even defeat an Inquiring Journey realm cultivator was too exaggerated, too unbelievable.

Many people were dumbfounded, their eyes almost popping out in shock.

Especially Young Master Gou—he was completely stunned!

At that moment, another system notification resounded within Mo Hao's sea of consciousness. He had successfully acted ostentatiously and earned a thousand Pretentious Points!

'Hahaha! Excellent, just excellent!' Mo Hao thought excitedly in his heart. 'A thousand Pretentious Points—that's not a small amount.'

'Next, it would be even better if more formidable targets for me to boast to come to settle accounts with me.'

'No, wait, why should I wait for them to come to me? I can take the initiative and go to them; after all, I'm in the right!'

'I hope this Young Master Gou's clan doesn't disappoint me!' He was almost itching to rush directly to the doorstep of the Gou Clan right then and there.

Thus, Mo Hao led the young girl straight to Guest Elder Liu and stepped on his head with one foot.

"Ah!" Guest Elder Liu immediately screamed.

"Ah!" The young girl was also startled into screaming.

The stunned onlookers became even more shocked!

The young man had counterattacked in a dire situation and defeated Guest Elder Liu, which was indeed impressive. However, this must have been his limit.

Everyone saw that he had used every ounce of his strength, exerting himself to the fullest.

But now, instead of seizing the opportunity to flee, Mo Hao actually went forward and stepped on Guest Elder Liu's head!

He must have lost his mind!

"You, you, you!" Young Master Gou shouted, his face turning ugly. "What on earth are you trying to do!"

Yet, deep inside, a sneer once again rose in his heart.

He had already sent a message to his clan, but it would take some time for them to arrive. If Mo Hao left now, he might still escape in time.

However, Mo Hao was truly courting death by not leaving despite the situation!

"Hehe!" Mo Hao sneered repeatedly. "What am I trying to do?"

"Heh, I want to see if there's any justice left in this world! I want to see if the entire Gou Clan is as beastly as you!"

Growling, he kicked Guest Elder Liu in front of Young Master Gou and commanded, "Lead the way!"

With these words, everyone in the crowd was instantly stunned. What? Was Mo Hao actually planning to go to the Gou Clan on his own accord?

Who didn't know that the Gou Clan had a powerhouse in the Dao Comprehension realm protecting them? They also had connections with a Dao Palace realm-level power, the Black Heaven Tower!

This wasn't merely courting death; it was like throwing oneself directly into the arms of death!

"Good, you've got guts!" Young Master Gou's eyes bulged, a blend of shock and wild joy evident in his gaze.

"Since that's the case, then let me lead the way for you!" He waved his hand, and a group promptly whisked Guest Elder Liu away, heading straight for the Gou Clan.

Every street scene involving Mo Hao was closely watched by Jiang Chen.

'He's pulled off ostentatious acts twice in a row,' he mused.

'Both were executed openly, without deliberately inducing any fear or other emotions in the supporting characters.'

'Plus, I didn't notice Mo Hao drawing any energy from those supporting characters.'

'So, his heaven-defying trump card must simply revolve around acting pretentiously to reap benefits.'

'I haven't seen any increase in his cultivation base yet, so the rewards are probably accumulating, much like how I can trade my Villain Value for treasures.'

'For example, when the scar-faced man was hunting him, Mo Hao traded for a bunch of pills.' Jiang Chen continued to analyze, nearly pinpointing Mo Hao's extraordinary trump card.

'Now that I've more or less figured it out,' he internally resolved, 'I can't let him go on acting ostentatiously without restraint. It's time to take action.'

'Hmm, if only I could get a direct look at the protagonist's heaven-defying trump card,' Jiang Chen mused, his lips tightening as he prepared to intervene and prevent Mo Hao from boasting and humiliating others any longer.

Just then, a system notification surfaced in his Sea of Consciousness.

[Ding! Upon upgrading to Level 3, Villain's Eye will undergo an evolution!]
