Race to the
Throne
Chapter 13: Money
"I might be rude my highness, but it is something I want to say, please allow me to say something about your son" Tian Yun (her attendant) request Song Xia with his head bowed to her
Song Xia, in her good mood, smiled and said "Off-course you can… I am really happy right now"
Tian Yun nodded and then started saying his thoughts
"Young Prince, Hao Jiazhi is really different from what he used to be.
I am really confused as to how can someone change in such a short amount of time as my men had been looking after him for a long time and so far he never showed any sign of improvement or was he just hiding this all?" Tian Yun asks in confusing as he thinks more and more
Song Xia smiled hearing praise of her son
She said "Yes, even I am confused…
Maybe, he was hiding his true self as he is truly someone befitting for the role of the emperor"
What is this whole talk about?
It is related to Hao Jiazhi's request before he left the capital city
Hao Jiazhi asked his mother's help in finding people who excel in the field of assassination, the art of disguise, and it should be female
It was kind of a weird request but it didn't take her much time to find someone like that and brought them to her son
There were around 11 females
Xu Hai, the leader or the most experienced person showed herself in front of Hao Jiazhi
Hao Jiazhi told the guards around the room to calm down, they are glaring at all those females that have been brought as these all are assassins and they can do some good amount of thing
And the moment guards lay down their weapon, Xu Hai took a step and grabbed the knife from the fruit basket and put it around the neck of Hao Jiazhi
"YOU!!!!" Song Xian glared at Xu Hai after seeing what she has done
All guards aimed their weapon at Xu Hai and other females and then waited for Xu Hai to lower her knife so they could do something to make their prince free
"Young prince, I think your mother doesn't love you much as she is not telling her guards to lower their weapons" Xu Hai said to Hao Jiazhi as she pressed her knife near his neck
Song Xia is really angry right now but she can't do much here and just listen to Xu Hai's request or command
On the other side, Tian Yun looked at the scene, and in his mind, he said "Young Prince, it seems like you still have a long way to go"
But little did anyone know that Hao Jiazhi is all calm as if nothing happened
"It's ok everyone, calm down. She is just playing trick or a joke" Hao Jiazhi said in a calm tone as he laughed at the situation
Everyone got confused, even those girls
"What do you mean son?" Song Xia asked
Hao Jiazhi smiled and said "Xu Hai, I know very well that you know what would happen if you hurt me or even if you leave me by saying its a prank, as you have already shown your Fake Hostility towards me…
Theses guards will hunt you down to the end of your life and make sure that you receive a very horrible death
So, I know very well that you can't or won't even dare to do anything against me as I can clearly see the fear in your eyes
Fear of death"
"What are you saying, young prince?" Xu Hai asked
Hao Jiazhi laughed at her question and said "The edge of your knife that is touching my neck is not the sharp one and also, the way you are pressing knife on my neck… it can't do anything to me even if you press more
So, stop your joke"
At this point, everyone noticed that Xu Hai's knife is not in the right position to harm the young prince
This cleared everything and also shocked everyone as to how fast did Hao Jiazhi notice all these details
Even his own mother and Xu hai is shocked
Xu Hai smiled and took the knife back, she said "I just wanted to test if the person I am working for, is he someone worthy or not"
Then she took her step back
Song Xia is still angry but she knows what Xu Hai meant so she is somewhat happy also as her small test showed her that her son is not so simple as he looks
But things haven't ended yet as Xu Hai gave Hao Jiazhi the knife back
And what do we know about Hao Jiazhi so far?
He hates it when someone disrespects him
Hao Jiazhi held the grip of his knife and grabbed the hand of Xu Hai, turning her face towards his face and then he put the knife near her eyes
"!!!!"
Everyone is stunned
"Young Prince?" Xu Hai asked as she could see the sharp end of the knife near her eyes
With a serious look, Hao Jiazhi said "Your beauty has saved you today…
If it had been some other girl, I would have taker her eyes out and then killed her
Why?
Because I hate jokes
And I am not the one who takes the test, but rather the one who gives the test to others.
Also, my name is Hao Jiazhi, not Young Prince"
Hao Jiazhi took his knife down and then left her stunned on her spot
"Mother, she is really good. I will have her and her friends" Hao Jiazhi said to Song Xia
Song Xia still couldn't get anything right in her mind as she still doesn't know just what happened
Her son, who used to be a timid and scared cat, is now a wild animal who inflicts fear in the heart of everyone he meets
She really liked this growth of her son
Hao Jiazhi not only asked for these girls but he also asked for 4 strong guards for his house in Huangyi as those 2 old guards will be promoted to his bodyguards as he had said to them in past
Also, he asked for some good amount of money as he will need it for the growth of his '5 Shadows'
Now that the past event story is done, let us get back to the present
Hao Jiazhi enters his room and also brought 1 big square box that was brown in color and looked like an old box
"What is this box?" Han Yachun asked as this was the only thing that looked different from all other expensive looking boxes
"Just open it" Hao Jiazhi said in a calm tone
Han Yachun nodded and then opened the box
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*MONEY*
