Chapter 341 No Meeting Without Coincidence
Chapter 341 No Meeting Without Coincidence
"Brother Long, this really isn't my fault. They were the ones who came looking for trouble. Just look at what they did to my face!" Wang Mingzhe said, gesturing to his own face with a sense of grievance.
Upon hearing this, Brother Long snorted coldly and stopped berating Wang Mingzhe. After all, he was his underling. Someone hitting his underling was a slight against his own face.
Brother Long walked over with Wang Mingzhe, confronting everyone arrogantly, "Who hit my little brother? Stand out!"
"I did!"
"I did, too!"
Hao Jian and Li He stepped forward one after the other.
"Wow, lining up to seek death? You two idiots know who I am, right?" Brother Long laughed out of anger. Were these kids rushing in to meet their doom?
Li He's face darkened. He didn't say a word, as Wang Mingzhe had already told him about Brother Long. How could he not know who Brother Long was? Moreover, Li He could sense something from the murderous aura emanating from Brother Long.
That's why he didn't dare to speak. Despite his courage, he wasn't truly fearless. Faced with Brother Long's threat, Li He couldn't help feeling a bit apprehensive.
"Of course, we know. The boss of a mad dog is either a mad dog or a stupid dog. Who else could it be?" Yet, at this moment, Hao Jian unflinchingly laughed dismissively.
Li He and the others were shocked, staring at Hao Jian as if he were a freak. Had he grown tired of living? Couldn't he see how many people Brother Long had brought with him?
At these words, Brother Long narrowed his eyes, smirking at Hao Jian. He couldn't remember the last time anyone dared to speak to him like this.
"Boss, this guy is the most arrogant one. He doesn't take you seriously at all!" Wang Mingzhe pointed at Hao Jian and cursed, trying to incite Brother Long. His hatred for Hao Jian had now surpassed that for Li He.
"Kid, you've successfully angered me," Brother Long said with a cold smile.
"So what?" Hao Jian retorted disdainfully.
"So, I'm going to throw your body into the pigpen to feed the pigs!" Brother Long sneered. Still asking 'so what'? He's truly too arrogant.
Just then, an old man got out of the car and said to Brother Long, "Along, hurry up and get this over with. The boss wants us back for a meeting!"
"Old Fifth is here too?" Wang Mingzhe was startled, he hadn't expected the Deputy Gang Leader to come as well.
Seeing Hao Jian among the crowd, wearing a cold smile, Old Fifth's expression changed instantly, and he exclaimed in fright, "Hao Jian!"
"Hao Jian?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people present turned to Old Fifth with shocked expressions.
Hao Jian was now a well-known figure in Hua City. In fact, there was hardly anyone in the inner circles who didn't know him. Everyone was aware of this freak, who, as a nobody, challenged two Young Masters, embarrassing them and leaving them completely disgraced.
Now, the name Hao Jian was a sensitive word. Not knowing Hao Jian? That meant you were not important enough, not yet part of the upper echelons of society!
Li He, hearing Old Fifth mention him, was also dumbfounded. His idol was here? Who could it be?
Then, Li He turned to look at Hao Jian; he seemed to recall Jiang Yutong calling Hao Jian 'Teacher Hao'.
"Hao Jian, where is he?" Brother Long was also panicking, looking around restlessly. For an entity even the Martial Evil Hall was wary of, he naturally was fearful.
Although he was a good fighter, he was only good against average people. Against a monster like Hao Jian, he was utterly helpless, for Hao Jian could instantly kill Martial Artists.
"No enemies do not meet; how true that saying is," Hao Jian sighed with resignation. He, too, was surprised by the appearance of Old Fifth.
And when they heard Hao Jian speak, everyone knew who Hao Jian was. Their expressions frozen, they turned to look at Hao Jian.
Seeing everyone looking as if they had seen a ghost, Wang Mingzhe also felt confused and asked Brother Long, "Brother Long, who is Hao Jian?"
"Shut your mouth!" Brother Long snapped impatiently. His expression was grave. He hadn't expected Wang Mingzhe to have offended Hao Jian. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Even the Martial Evil Hall had said not to provoke the monster Hao Jian recently. How could his Yihe Club contend with him?
"Hao Jian, it's you again?" Old Fifth's face soured as he spoke, recalling how Hao Jian had once insulted him and couldn't help but grow angry.
Is this guy a disaster star? Wherever I go, I run into him?
"So what if it's me?" Hao Jian stepped forward with a cold smile, his posture arrogant, seemingly not taking Old Fifth and the others seriously at all.
At that moment, Old Fifth and his associates couldn't help but step back, as if avoiding a venomous snake.
Seeing this, Wang Mingzhe and the others were stunned. Was this guy really that frightening?
Li He's face immediately lit up with joy. It was indeed Hao Jian, no doubt about it. Who else could instill such fear in a gang, other than the legendary "demonic Hao Jian"?
"Yo, that scared, huh? Don't be like that, you're the mafia, showing weakness like this will make people look down on you!" Hao Jian mocked with a laugh.
Seeing this, Wang Mingzhe suddenly had an ominous hunch. He had thought at first that Hao Jian was just an ordinary teacher who maybe had some decent driving skills. How could he know that Hao Jian had such a big reputation, that even his boss, let alone the Deputy Gang Leader, would be so afraid of him.
"Hao Jian, what exactly do you want?" Old Fifth said, both embarrassed and annoyed.
"What do I want? It's simple: this kid offended me, so kill this kid and we'll call it even. Otherwise, none of you are leaving today!" Hao Jian said aggressively.
"Teacher Hao!" Jiang Yutong suddenly panicked. Was Hao Jian really planning to kill Wang Mingzhe? How could that be okay? If Wang Mingzhe really was killed by Hao Jian, how would she explain it to her aunt when she got back?
"He's my little brother, why do you get to say kill and kill?" Brother Long shouted defensively, his voice filled with feigned toughness. Although he was very afraid, as a figure in the underworld backed by so many brothers, if he didn't speak up, how would his brothers see him? Even if it was just for show, he had to say something.
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian scoffed with disdain: "Why can't I say kill if he's your little brother? You want to protect him? Do you have the ability?"
Brother Long fell silent; he indeed didn't have the ability. Hao Jian didn't consider him a threat at all.
If he really confronted Hao Jian, it's likely he would be beaten to death in a few moves.
Seeing Brother Long fall silent, everyone realized he had backed down.
"Hao Jian, don't be too arrogant!" Old Fifth warned from the side. The continuous insults to their Yihe Club were intolerable to anyone. On the streets, face was everything; if you were hit, you had to hit back, or else you'd be laughed at by other gangs.
But Hao Jian kept bringing them disgrace, and what was even more infuriating was that they could only swallow the humiliation, helpless to retaliate.
"Arrogant? What about it? What can you do to me?" Hao Jian said, blatantly disrespecting Old Fifth. "I'll say it again, either you personally take that kid down, or let me do it. Your choice!"
At these words, Wang Mingzhe trembled uncontrollably as if struck by a chill, anxiously glancing at his boss.
Brother Long was also looking at Wang Mingzhe, his expression hesitant, seemingly considering whether to sacrifice Wang Mingzhe.
"Boss, I'm your little brother, you can't do this to me." Seeing the expression on Brother Long's face, Wang Mingzhe was on the verge of tears.
"Hao Jian, we can't accept your conditions. He's a brother of Yihe Club; we can't turn on our own. Tell us what compensation you want, and we'll do our best to satisfy you," Old Fifth said, his face ashen with defeat.
He'd rather compensate Hao Jian than harm Wang Mingzhe—not because Wang Mingzhe was that important to the gang—but because if he killed Wang Mingzhe in front of so many brothers, it would undoubtedly discourage his own men.

"No, either he dies or you all die. There's no third option." But obviously, Hao Jian didn't care about that at all, or perhaps it was intentional, designed to shame Yihe Club once more.
Old Fifth gritted his teeth in hatred; Hao Jian was driving them into a corner.
"Old Fifth, to deal with a small fry, you have to make such a big deal out of it, what use are you?" At that moment, a deep and gruff voice came from inside the vehicle.
Everyone saw a van tremble violently, and a giant, burly man emerged from inside.
He was over two meters tall, his body all muscle. Despite the winter cold, he was topless, revealing his strong, tanned skin. His long hair, reaching down to his shoulders, gave him a wild look, like a savage from the wilderness.
Seeing this man, Hao Jian couldn't help but frown because he sensed a kindred spirit in him—this man must also be a Martial Artist, and a strong one at that!
This man was indeed a Martial Artist, sent by the Martial Evil Hall. The Hall had suffered heavy losses in their previous encounters with Hao Jian; with no other choice, the Gang Leader had to seek help from the Silver Powers and asked them to send a stronger Martial Artist—this man was one of them.
His name was Shi Potian, known for his immense strength, capable of twisting metal and stone with his bare hands, ranking among the top within the entire Silver Level forces.
