But at this moment, everyone was looking at Xia Zhu with ambiguous eyes, as if Teacher Xia and Ye Hao were having a secret teacher-student romance...

"Alright, classmates, things aren't as complicated as you think. Ye Hao is actually a lifesaver for my family; he saved my mother, so my mom is very grateful to him and hopes for us to be together. I know that's impossible, but I'm afraid my mom might be upset, so Ye Hao and I teamed up to fake it for as long as we can..." Xia Zhu, overwhelmed by the crowd's gaze, explained blushingly.

At this time, Xue Zhaolong teased, "Teacher, actually you and the boss are quite a match! You see, a talented man and a beautiful woman, both with great figures, the boss strong and muscular, and excellent in martial arts, which woman wouldn't like him?"

"Exactly! Just like I'm a good match for He Rui, right? Everyone, am I right?" Lu Yunsong shamelessly chimed in.

"Haha!" Everyone was amused, yet He Rui just lowered her head, blushing, uncertain of what she was thinking.

"Actually, Teacher Xia, I have something to say. Our boss is 21 years old, not much older than you. Besides being a teacher, you are also a woman! Why not consider Ye Hao?" Zhuorong Town joined in the fun.

"Best wishes in advance, Teacher and Ye Hao," the class leader and others started creating a buzz.

Xia Zhu stood on the podium with a red face, her eyes occasionally turning to Ye Hao, wondering if Ye Hao expresses anything now, whether she should agree or not...

Lin Ruyu and Su Qing were looking displeased, but remained silent. If Ye Hao truly liked them, they wouldn't stand in his way...

"Haha!" Ye Hao laughed loudly and waved his hand, "Everyone, stop joking. Actually, I have a girlfriend, alas!"

Ye Hao's words took everyone by surprise—a girlfriend? Ye Hao has a girlfriend? Who is it? Who could it be? Among the class were a few of Ye Hao's followers, who were very curious about who Ye Hao's girlfriend could be, as she would be considered their "sister-in-law!"

"Boss, you have a girlfriend?" Xue Zhaolong voiced out, and everyone collectively turned their gaze to Ye Hao.

Lin Ruyu and Su Qing tensed up, and even Xia Zhu waited nervously for Ye Hao's next words.

"I really have a girlfriend, so sorry I can't accept you all. I'm heartbroken too, Teacher Xia is such a beautiful and charming woman, but I'm infatuated with another girl..." Ye Hao acted heartbroken as he spoke.

"Who?" Everyone eagerly watched Ye Hao...

Ye Hao slowly raised his right hand, gazing passionately, then with a loving expression said, "Even with a harem of three thousand beauties, I desire to roam and conquer, but I still remain true to my heart; I love you, my dear five fingers..."

"Ugh..." The whole room was instantly mortally wounded; damn it, the "five fingers"...

Xia Zhu's face also turned red as she spat at Ye Hao, while Lin Ruyu and Su Qing looked disgustedly at Ye Hao's right hand.

Ye Hao chuckled, relieved that he reacted quickly. Otherwise, should he accept Xia Zhu or not? Though he was somewhat pleased at the prospect of being in a romantic relationship with a great beauty like Xia Zhu, he didn't want to upset Lin Ruyu either, nor disappoint Su Qing.

"Disgusting!" Lin Ruyu and Su Qing both snorted simultaneously.

Class time passed quickly, and just then, a message came from the Saiyan in the Lamborghini.

"Someone is approaching him? Who could it be?" Ye Hao pondered over the message and asked Xia Zhu for leave to head outside.

In the parking lot, the Lamborghini was opened and a robust man in black got inside.

"Hi Tai Lin."

Ye Hao received the message too, making the Saiyan known as Tai Lin smile and respond courteously: "Hi!"

"Tai Lin, you seem to have become less enthusiastic lately. Can you tell your brother what's been going on? You know Prince doesn't allow anyone to betray him." Tyson from Australia seemed to talk to himself.

"I know!" Naturally, it was Ye Hao controlling Tai Lin's speech.

Since he was a brother to the man in black, he was surely not a good guy. If possible, he would try to control the Saiyan-like Tai Lin first, and then adopt the same method for... Haha, Ye Hao thought to himself.

"Brother, has something happened? Tell me." Tyson gazed intently at Tai Lin and asked.

Ye Hao sat under a large tree nearby, as if talking to Tyson.

Tai Lin turned his head and gave Tyson a deep look, his eyes somewhat melancholic as he said, "Brother, don't say anything. This time my mission failed, and I'm still waiting for an opportunity. I know Prince might be angry, since I've been absent so long without reporting back, but I must capture him and bring him back." In reality, Ye Hao didn't know who these people were affiliated with, nor did he know who the master Tai Lin previously mentioned was.

"Don't worry. This time, your brother will join you, and together we'll take down Ye Hao, squashing him like an ant. I'll show him the might of Prince Hall!" Tyson said viciously, his eyes brimming with a ferocious glare.

Underneath the big tree, Ye Hao let out a "Oh," realizing they were from the Hall family. It seemed Hall Rize was in trouble, or maybe he was being framed?

"Alright! We'll seize the opportunity and capture him, brother. Thank you for coming. You must be tired from the trip, so rest a bit; I'll keep watch." Tai Lin pretended to be excited...

"Haha, oh! Call me when needed." Tyson said and then pretended to sleep.

Tyson and Tai Lin were brothers. They joined the God underground forces and were later recruited to work under Prince Hall, their brotherly bond was deep. Without hesitation, he fell asleep.

"Qianqian, check if he's really asleep!" Ye Hao instructed from under the tree.

"System detected he's asleep."

"Take action!" Ye Hao ordered, and then Tai Lin forcefully struck Tyson's head when he was completely unprepared.

Tyson's head was bleeding profusely, and being caught off guard made him fall into an even deeper unconsciousness.

Ye Hao sprinted over quickly and instructed Qianqian to keep him subdued, to prevent him from waking up. Otherwise, even if Ye Hao controlled Tai Lin, Tyson might not be handled easily.

After all, Tyson controlled his own mind, whereas Tai Lin needed Ye Hao's control.

"Hehe!" Ye Hao chuckled when he captured Tyson. It seemed he would soon possess a super expert!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a week passed. Now, Ye Hao had two martial arts tenth-level experts, which made him even more eager to apply for a combat team.

With these two tenth-level experts, they could train a batch of fifth or sixth-level experts almost without restriction. Under the threat of death or immense pressure, it would be hard for the weak not to advance.

"Boss! So you mean you want to apply for a combat team?" At this point, in the class, Lu Yunsong, Zhuorong Town, Xue Zhaolong, and Ding Haoyun asked Ye Hao.

"Yes! Although our individual skills are strong, we cannot effectively form a fighting team when major events occur. So I want to form a combat team, nominally to protect Lin Ruyu, but what we do will be up to us.

"But can you actually apply for one?"

"We can, but currently, we have too few people. I'm considering applying at the beginning of next year."

"What scale of a combat team are you planning to apply for?" Ding Haoyun asked.

"At least fifty people. Too few, and it would be troublesome to expand later on."

"But where will you find fifty people?"

"I'll figure that out. By the way, have you developed those H-01 to H-04 weapons I gave you before?" Ye Hao asked.

"We've developed H-01—no, it should be called H-1 and H-2 now. Each clip holds thirty-six bullets with immense power," Xue Zhaolong replied with a smile.

"Okay! Don't mass-produce them yet. Make fifty and seal them tight, don't disclose any information. Although our research lab is certified to develop weapons, in Huaxia, having one certification doesn't mean you can do anything. Stay low profile."

"Understood."

"Ring ring ring!"

Just then, Ye Hao's phone rang. Looking puzzled at the unfamiliar number, Ye Hao answered.

"Hello!" Ye Hao greeted politely.

"Ye Hao, you beast..."

Ye Hao decisively hung up. He had no time for those who cursed right off the bat.

"Ring ring ring!"

After hanging up three times, Ye Hao finally picked up again.

"Who is this? If you have something to say, say it. If you continue to be rude, I will hang up immediately," Ye Hao said nonchalantly.

On the other end of the line was Hall Moresa. He had sent out his two top experts, but neither had returned. He didn't know what happened to them, but he suspected they were absolutely in trouble, so he called Ye Hao asking for them.

Faced with Ye Hao's direct threat, he didn't dare to curse again.

"You killed my son, do you know who I am?" Hall Moresa asked, suppressing his anger.

"I don't know!" Ye Hao wasn't an idiot. He hadn't killed anyone, so he wasn't going to admit to it.

"Not admitting, huh? You're really thinking I can't do anything to you?" Over on the other end, Hall Moresa was livid, trembling as he held the phone.

"Who exactly are you?"

"I'm Hall Rize's father..."

"I'm telling you, whether Hall Rize lives or dies has nothing to do with me. I hardly even paid him any attention. Whether he's dead or alive, I don't know," Ye Hao explained. But even his explanation was useless. After all, Ye Hao had already taken down Hall Moresa's two experts; sooner or later, they were bound to be on opposite sides.

"What about my two experts? Where are they?" Hall Moresa asked, seething with anger.

"Your experts came to ask me? Are you an idiot? Anyway, I'm not afraid to tell you, over the past few days, two experts have come to join me. They are now under my command, and they seem to be... Tyson and Tai Lin, haha!"

"Ah! You bastard, what did you do to them?" Hall Moresa roared.

"You can send people to ask them." Ye Hao chuckled and then hung up the phone, smiling secretly to himself. If they sent another tenth-level expert, it would be even better. (To be continued.
