The Mightiest Little Peasant Webnovel - Chapter 494
Chapter 494: The Cult of Masculine Wind
Up in the sky in a city to the west of Huaxia.
A helicopter was patrolling the area.
Tang Hao sat in the helicopter and looked down at the entire city. He could hear many people talking through his headset.
“Squad Number Nine. Target subdued!”
“Squad Number Three. Two targets down!”
The reports came over the headset.
Operation Witch Hunter was still ongoing in that city. However, after the great battle, the major powers had already pulled their forces out of Huaxia. Wiping the stragglers was a relatively easy task which the special forces could achieve.
He sat on the helicopter, coordinating the special forces and providing backup.
As for the Taoist masters, some of them were in the city. Others went to neighboring smaller towns to hunt down other targets.
The sun was rising.
The operation that night was a resounding success.
Tang Hao sat in the helicopter. As he watched the sunrise, he realized that he might have forgotten something.
He deliberated for a while and slapped his thigh.
“F*ck! I’m done for!”
His face turned pale and he shouted at the pilot, “Quick, quick! Go back!”
The helicopter abruptly changed directions and returned to the base.
Tang Hao quickly hopped off the helicopter when it landed.
Most of the Taoist masters and squads returned to the base as well. They were smiling and chatting casually.
“You’re back, Fellow Cultivator Tang!”
They waved and smiled at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao nodded at them while he quickly walked inside.
The Taoist masters were surprised. “Where are you going, Fellow Cultivator Tang? What’s the rush?”
“I forgot that my term exams are today! I’ll be finished if I don’t make it in time!” He said despondently.
“Huh?”
The Taoist masters were all baffled.
“Term… exams?” Shabby Taoist Master stammered.
They suddenly realized that Tang Hao was still a student! Of course, he had to sit for term exams!
They lifted their heads and lamented wordlessly to the heavens.
“Hey, why are you all reacting like that?” Tang Hao became more frustrated.
“Whatever. I’ll have to go. Bye!” Tang Hao waved at them and quickly rode on a military jet. In a few minutes, the jet took off and flew toward Province Z.
It was almost eight o’clock when the jet landed.
Tang Hao stood in front of a row of military helicopters.
All of them were painted black and looked very cool.
‘These helicopters would attract too much attention! That’ll be a lot of unnecessary trouble.’
“Brother, do you have anything that’s… low profile? I don’t want to attract too much attention,” Tang Hao said.
“Isn’t attention good?” The pilot said, baffled.
“No! I want to keep a low profile!” Tang Hao said with a smile.
“Sigh, that one then!” The pilot pointed at the helicopter farthest from them.
“Alright, that one it is!” Tang Hao looked at his watch and could only agree to it. He would be late if he did not set out right now.
Very soon, the helicopter took flight and flew toward the city area.
The rotating helicopter blades echoed in the sky.
The helicopter caused a commotion as it flew past the city. People lifted their heads and pointed at it.
As it neared the university, Tang Hao picked a secluded spot and jumped down from it. Unfortunately, when he lifted his head, he saw several figures in front of him.
They were female freshmen students of his age!
They all stood there, staring at him. They nearly dropped the breakfast items in their hands out of shock.
Tang Hao realized that staying any longer there would be trouble. He turned around and quickly left.
“None of you saw anything!” He mumbled.
Just when he turned around, he heard excited shrieks behind him.
“Oh my god! It’s Tang Hao!”
“It’s really him!”
The female students shrieked out of excitement. He heard the clicks of their phone cameras.
Tang Hao immediately covered his head. ‘Dammit, I’ll be the talk of the entire university again!’
He did not have the time to care for that. Instead, he dashed toward the academic building. He managed to enter the classroom one minute before it started.
Tang Hao had a good memory, and the exam was not a problem for him.
He whizzed through the paper, though he only handed it in when the time was almost up.
“Please stay for a bit, Tang Hao!” Jiang Wanying told him.
Tang Hao was surprised. He was about to step out of the classroom but stopped walking.
After all the students submitted their papers, Jiang Wanying tidied them into a neat stack, then turned around to look at Tang Hao.
Her brows were furrowed as though she was hesitating. She finally opened her mouth after a while, “I’ll be going to Merrica this summer break. My parents will be going too.”
Tang Hao was surprised. He did not know what to say.
‘Didn’t Mrs. Jiang insist on severing ties with her father? Why did she change her mind?’
Jiang Wanying laughed drily when she saw the curiosity on his face. “My grandpa’s health is failing, and he’ll pass away soon. She wants to meet him one last time.”
Tang Hao immediately understood.
Mrs. Jiang might have severed ties with her father, but they were nonetheless related by blood. Wishing to visit a relative on their deathbed was an entirely normal sentiment.
“To be frank, I’d like to visit my grandpa too. I’ve never met him before, and I don’t know what he looks like. It’s just that I have some… concerns,” Jiang Wanying said hesitantly.
Tang Hao smiled. He understood what Teacher Jiang was concerned about. After all, his grandfather was the leader of a triad.
She was a naive woman. It would be better if she was not involved.
“I’ll be fine. I just wanted to let you know that I’ll be gone for a few days. Don’t worry,” Jiang Wanying pressed her lips together and smiled.
Tang Hao and Jiang Wanying left the classroom together.
A week passed. The exams were over, and it was the summer break.
Operation Witch Hunter swept over the entire Huaxia like a raging fire.
In the meantime, the Agency had devised standard operating procedures for dealing with foreign cultivators.
Foreign cultivators were allowed to enter the country, but they needed to apply for a special permit and be subject to constant surveillance.
In the meantime, Vitality Sports Drink had finally gone into production and entered the market.
The company ran major advertising campaigns for the product on all platforms. Its amazing effects had surprised many people and became wildly popular.
The sports drink’s first customers were sportspeople, including basketball players, bodybuilders, athletes, and frequent gym-goers.
They were also the ones who spread the word about the amazing sports drink.
Then, the drink became popular among white-collar workers because of its stimulating properties.
Finally, the consumers discovered its unspoken properties.
“With one bottle, coming seven times in one night is no longer a dream!”
That slogan became a meme all over the Internet. The popularity of the drink soared wildly.
“I’ve taken it before. Seven times is pushing it, but four or five times won’t be a problem. It’s a miracle drink!”
“It’s from Haotian Group again? The leader of the Masculine Wind Cult has manifested his powers once again! May he unite us and lead us to eternal peace!”
The craze showed no signs of stopping.
While Vitality Sports Drink rose in popularity, sales of Yu Lin Group’s beverages declined.
