Zhou Sheng was not stupid; he knew he seemed to have gotten himself into trouble.
However, he was not certain whether the person in front of him was Xu Hao or not.
If he begged for mercy immediately, and it turned out not to be Xu Hao, wouldn't he lose all his face?
Zhou Sheng had made his mark in the vast expanse of Huadu, where face was essential, so he still harbored some hope against the odds.
He was unsure if the person before him was indeed Xu Hao, but he had to act as if he wasn't Xu Hao.
For if this really was Xu Hao, he knew he would definitely not be in for anything good, so he needed to get away, and the sooner the better.
Unfortunately, Xu Hao would not let him leave. He suddenly blocked Zhou Sheng's path to escape, speaking coldly, "Want to leave? Without my permission, no one can leave!"
The more domineering Xu Hao was, the more panicked Zhou Sheng became.
