Chapter 2076 — An Invitation at the Doorstep
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
With Wei Zhao's experience and trained eye, he could tell not only that the gate's design was somewhat unusual, but that it must be meant for anti-theft and anti-intrusion.
"Oh? Boss, you understand this sort of thing too?" Han Xiaohu was rather surprised. The Hidden Han Family's gate had indeed been custom-designed by professional security designers, with anti-theft and anti-intrusion functions: it could send out a warning signal the moment someone forced an entry or tried to pry the gate open, and in an instant discharge a high-voltage current—even an ordinary cultivator could not withstand that voltage!
Only a master of the Golden Bell Cover or Iron Shirt arts, whose body turned aside blade and spear, water and fire alike, could escape such physical harm! So the defense was strict indeed.
"A little," Wei Zhao said mildly. Safe as the gate looked, he had ways of dealing with it—only he did not say so.
"Heh, Boss really is a man of wide learning!" Han Xiaohu said in genuine admiration. "For an ordinary cultivator, to focus single-mindedly on cultivation and achieve something on that path is already remarkable enough. But Boss not only refines pills, he can race cars, and he even understands these security measures—truly admirable, especially with strength like his on top of it all!"
Once the car passed through the gate, it had not gone far before reaching a guard post—the quarters of the Hidden Han Family's gatekeepers. Though the Mercedes' plates belonged to the Hidden Han Family, that only got one through the first checkpoint; at this second one, a manual inspection was still required.
"Young Master Po!" Yet when the guard disciples came over and saw that it was Han Xiaohu driving, they stopped obstructing them at once; after a respectful greeting they raised the barrier and let the car pass smoothly into the interior of the Hidden Han Family manor.
"Seems your standing in the Hidden Han Family is quite high?" Wei Zhao asked, taking in the guard disciples' reaction.
"It's all right. Among my generation I count as one of the more outstanding members; I have a chance at becoming heir to the third-generation young family head." Before Wei Zhao, Han Xiaohu was not overly modest.
