The Strongest Mad Son-in-law-Chapter 1452 - 1455: Hurd Confronts Head-On

Xu Hao turned on the phone and scoffed coldly, "Steve, that old fart, is calling. Maybe he's found out about what I've done."
Hearing it's Steve calling, everyone in the Mao Family immediately became exceedingly nervous, fearing that Xu Hao would listen to Steve's orders.
But Mao Tanfeng remained unfazed and said, "Brother Xu Hao, take this opportunity to confront Steve directly, tell him you're no longer a pawn to be toyed with, you now have enough power to break free from the control of the John Family!"
"Alright! Since I've already decided to rebel against the John Family, then let's do it this way!"
Xu Hao immediately made up his mind, then answered the call. He was greeted with a burst of anger from Steve: "Xu Hao, do you have a death wish?! Why would you oppose Young Master Xu?! You're playing with fire!"
Xu Hao responded calmly, "I'll call you Grandpa one last time. From now on, I have nothing to do with the John Family! What I want to do will no longer be related to the John Family!"
Steve on the other end instantly became furious, speaking coldly, "The family has raised you for over twenty years, and this is how you repay them?"
"Humph! In this family, I've had enough humiliation! When everyone mocked me, why didn't you speak up?" Xu Hao replied coldly.
"Of course I knew about those childish antics, but didn't I secretly deal with them? Didn't you notice no one mocked you afterwards? What you felt later was just your own illusion! Moreover, I told you that if you want to retaliate against the humiliation they gave you, develop yourself well and grow stronger, then you can certainly avenge them hard!
But what are you doing now? I thought I treated you well, never wronged you. But you know Young Master Xu saved my life, yet you still oppose him. What is this putting the John Family's reputation on the line? Making everyone think we are an ungrateful family?!" Steve's anger grew more uncontrollable as he spoke.
"Humph! My mind is made up, and from now on, I will sever all ties with the John Family! Whatever I do, I don't need you to interfere!" Xu Hao scoffed coldly and hung up.
Mao Tanfeng immediately applauded with a laugh, "Haha! Good! Brother Xu Hao, rest assured, our Mao Family will be your most reliable partner! From today, we will advance and retreat together!"
Then, they spoke on forums about Xu Hao wanting to leverage the John Family's influence to pressure their Mao Family.
When this matter was posted online, many were quick to criticize Xu Hao, rapidly dominating the hot comments.
"Humph! Xu Hao is indeed despicable, trying to use such, means to claim victory! But Young Master Xu has an unyielding spirit, how could he bow to family power? I support the resolute Young Master Xu!"
"Exactly! I thought Xu Hao was pretty good, relying on his own skills and efforts to reach his current status, but I see now, it's all fake! Although it's unclear how he ingratiated himself with the leader of John Retail in America, his actions are truly repulsive!"
"It's like two kids fighting, and one suddenly tattles to the other's parents! I'm ashamed to associate with someone like Xu Hao! I declare, from today onwards, I am no longer a fan of Xu Hao! This is for life! Agree with me, give me a like, push me to the top!"
Instantly, the tide of opinion online regarding this matter surged, with almost everyone finding Xu Hao's reliance on the John Family's power rather inappropriate.
The online opinion trend developed, all unfavorable comments towards the Mao Family were deleted, leaving only those advantageous to them.
Just as the opinion overwhelmingly leaned towards the Mao Family and Xu Hao, a post from "Brother Xiao Ma" was directly pushed to the top of forum topics: "Why can Xu Hao get the Family Head of the John Family to intervene?"
Once this topic was thrown out, it immediately sparked considerable discussion.
"Humph! Isn't it known that Xu Hao's martial arts power is strong? Maybe he controlled the John Family's Family Head, forcing him to speak up, this behavior is truly contemptible."
"Yeah, if it's a business rivalry, then fight fairly with business tactics, why resort to such underhanded methods?"
"I also know the John Family's young lady Louise is quite close to Xu Hao, couldn't it be because of Louise?"
"Believe it or not, it might really be because of Louise, who knew Xu Hao was such a moocher, it makes me feel disgusted."
