Supremely Talented Tyrant

Chapter 344 The Unreasonable Family

"And you, if I see you again next time, I can't guarantee I won't kill you!" Hao Jian pointed at Old Fifth and said coldly.

Old Fifth's face flushed with both shame and anger. As a Deputy Gang Leader being threatened like that, his discomfort was evident. However, he dared not speak out against Hao Jian; he did not have the courage to challenge him.

He was now somewhat regretful. Why had he gotten out of the car in the first place? Had he stayed in the car, wouldn't all of this have been avoided?

"Now, get out of here!" Hao Jian said unapologetically.

Old Fifth and Brother Long dared not respond and walked back with full hearts of humiliation.

"Spice Ginger, carry that kid up, let's go." Hao Jian pointed at Wang Mingzhe and said to Brother Spice Ginger.

"Sure thing!" Brother Spice Ginger cheerfully agreed, his admiration for Hao Jian soaring significantly after witnessing his actions.

"Li He, give me another chance," the girl was still pestering Li He at that moment.

"Get lost!" Li He pushed the girl away unapologetically, then moved excitedly towards Hao Jian: "Are you Hao Jian?"

"Yes, I am. What do you want?" Hao Jian frowned as he looked at Li He.

"I want to follow you!" Li He said seriously, barely concealing the excitement in his voice despite his attempt to restrain himself.

"Follow me? Give me a reason." Hao Jian was puzzled. Why did Li He want to follow him, especially since they had just been at odds, and now suddenly Li He was saying he wanted to follow him? It was too quick a change.

Li He thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't have a reason, but I just know you are my idol. Every act you've done in Hua City has left me in awe. Initially, I had no idea the person I was racing against was you. If I had known, I would never have disrespected you. I hope you can give me a chance!"

Hearing this, Hao Jian looked deeply at Li He and saw sincerity and earnestness in his eyes; Li He was not lying.

"Follow me? Aren't you afraid of making enemies? You know I have many, right?" Hao Jian said with a smile.

"I am not afraid. I'd rather take a risk than continue to be an accomplished nothing as a pampered rich boy," Li He said decisively. He wanted to make something of himself, to be respected even by the father who looked down on him, but he didn't know how, as he had nothing but his background.

Li He wanted to prove himself and let everyone know that even without his family's support, he could still make a name for himself!

But in this realistic society, if you have no power or influence, how can you possibly make a name for yourself?

If he wanted to achieve this, he had to rely on Hao Jian!

Because Hao Jian had started from nothing and gradually made his way up, his actions had shown Li He that even with nothing, he could stand out. Thus, Li He wanted to learn from Hao Jian, because Hao Jian always managed to turn the decay into the miraculous, skilled at creating miracles!

"Oh? I thought you were enjoying your life as it is?" Hao Jian was truly surprised. Initially, he thought Li He enjoyed the feel of being a wealthy idler, spending his days indulging in pleasure, yet it turned out he had such ambition. Apparently, Hao Jian had underestimated him.

"I am not enjoying it, I am just forced to accept it," Li He said with a bitter smile.

Hearing this, Hao Jian fell silent, believing Li He's explanation. Being forced to accept such a life? It wasn't impossible, considering that heirs like Li He usually had to inherit the family business and comply with their parents' arrangements.

Hao Jian guessed correctly; Li He didn't want that, so he deliberately lived a dissolute life, being a contemptible playboy so his parents would not rush him to take over the family business.

"But you don't yet qualify to be my subordinate," Hao Jian said with a light smile.

Li He's expression stiffened.

"I'm not insulting you—that's just the truth. You are too weak. If you followed me, you might not survive three days before getting killed," Hao Jian said with a slight smile. "Go to a place called Blood Paradise, an underground fighting ring. If you can win twenty matches there, then I'll take you in."

Hearing this, Li He was immediately overjoyed. Hao Jian wasn't giving him no chance at all; he was letting him prove his abilities.

"You can be sure, I won't let you down!" Li He nodded vehemently.

"Let's go." Hao Jian turned away and no longer spoke to Li He, instead addressing Jiang Yutong.

In truth, he wasn't very optimistic about Li He. Although he had just shown some capabilities, Blood Paradise was not an ordinary place. It was deadly, and before joining the army, Hao Jian often went there to earn some extra money.

Someone like Li He, a pampered rich boy, could hardly survive in such a place.

Hao Jian and Jiang Yutong took Wang Mingzhe back to Jiang Yutong's home; by then, Wang Mingzhe's parents had already received the news and were waiting there.

"Child, you're finally back." Upon seeing Wang Mingzhe return, his parents quickly approached him.

"What happened to your leg?" However, at that moment, they noticed that Wang Mingzhe was limping, dragging his leg more than walking.

They had been better off not asking, but once they asked, Wang Mingzhe began to cry pitifully. He threw himself into his parents' arms and bitterly pointed at Hao Jian: "He is the one who broke my leg!"

"Hmm?"

For a moment, everyone turned to look at Hao Jian.

"That's right, I did it," Hao Jian replied expressionlessly.

Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

With that, Wang Wanjun and the others were shocked and dismayed. What did this mean? Why had Hao Jian broken Wang Mingzhe's leg?

"Who are you? Why did you hit my son?" Jiang Huiyun, Wang Mingzhe's mother, furiously glared at Hao Jian. She had always doted on Wang Mingzhe, and seeing that Wang Mingzhe had been crippled by Hao Jian, she naturally felt terrible.

"Your son deserved a beating, so I hit him," Hao Jian said disdainfully. In his view, it was Jiang Huiyun's indulgence that had turned Wang Mingzhe into what he was today.

"You." Jiang Huiyun was livid at Hao Jian's words. What did he mean by 'he deserved it so I hit him'? Was there such an arrogant person? Was there no law left?

"Little Yu, what exactly happened here?" Jiang Qihui couldn't help but ask his daughter.

Then Jiang Yutong explained what had happened.

After listening, Wang Mingzhe's parents were silent for a long time.

"Ah, when you think about it, you can't really blame Teacher Hao Jian. It was Little Zhe who wanted to kill him first; Teacher Hao Jian just taught him a lesson," Jiang Qihui spoke fairly. Indeed, it wasn't Hao Jian's fault. With Hao Jian's capabilities, he could have killed Wang Mingzhe without any problem, but he hadn't done so; he had already shown mercy.

But upon hearing this, Jiang Huiyun was displeased, "What do you mean we can't blame him? Our Little Zhe is still young and foolish. Hao Jian is older and a role model as a teacher. How could he not be a little more forgiving?"

Jiang Huiyun was very dissatisfied with Wang Mingzhe being crippled by Hao Jian. After all, he was a piece of her own flesh. Even if he was at fault, it would have been someone else's fault.

And it was precisely Jiang Huiyun's indulgence that had made Wang Mingzhe lawless.

Jiang Huiyun's husband also frowned, looking maliciously at Hao Jian.

Hearing Jiang Huiyun say this, the family of three, the Jiangs, couldn't help but frown. Jiang Huiyun's words were simply irrational. Wang Mingzhe had tried to kill Hao Jian; anyone would be angry in that situation. Jiang Huiyun should be relieved that Hao Jian had spared his life.

Yet Jiang Huiyun kept on harping on the matter. In the end, it would be their own loss, and Hao Jian was not someone to trifle with.

If you reason with him, he will be more reasonable than you, but if you choose to be unreasonable, then he will be even more unreasonable than you.

Sure enough, upon hearing Jiang Huiyun's words, a strange chuckling sound, "giggle," came from Hao Jian's throat. He then walked towards Jiang Huiyun and slapped her across the face.

"Slap!"

This slap was sharp and resounding, echoing beautifully, truly stunning everyone present!

Jiang Huiyun staggered and nearly smashed her head against the refrigerator next to her. A handprint appeared on her face instantly, and she was completely stunned.

She could never have predicted that Hao Jian would suddenly strike in the middle of a conversation. What was the meaning of this?

"What are you doing?" Wang Xuantao, Wang Mingzhe's father, also roared hysterically at Hao Jian, feeling extremely displeased seeing his wife hit.

"I'm also younger than you, and I also don't understand things. Since you are older than me, you should be able to forgive me for slapping you, right?" Hao Jian asked with a smirk.

Seeing this, the Jiang family of three could only smile wryly; they knew that Hao Jian was really angry.

"I'm done with it!" Jiang Huiyun lunged at him, clawing her way towards Hao Jian's face.

"Heh." Hao Jian scoffed disdainfully, kicking Jiang Huiyun in the stomach, and she rolled away like a rubber ball.

"Son of a bitch, I'll have you dead!" Wang Xuantao was furious. Hao Jian had repeatedly hit his wife; if he didn't fight back, would he still be a man?

Wang Xuantao looked around, then picked up a bench from the ground and swung it at Hao Jian.

Hao Jian didn't even glance at Wang Xuantao. He punched the bench, breaking through it and striking Wang Xuantao's chin, sending Wang Xuantao and the bench flying out, crashing heavily onto Jiang Huiyun.

"Ouch!"

Jiang Huiyun cried out in pain once again.

"Mom! Dad!" Wang Mingzhe was almost scared to pee himself. He hadn't expected Hao Jian to be so unrestrained here. Wasn't he his sister's teacher? Why wouldn't he show any respect?

"Teacher Hao Jian, let it go, please, don't get angry with them," Jiang Qihui hurriedly came to pull Hao Jian away, fearing that Hao Jian might really kill Jiang Huiyun's family in a fit of rage. After all, they were his sister, brother-in-law, and nephew.

However, Jiang Qihui's good intentions were completely misinterpreted by Jiang Huiyun and her husband. Wang Xuantao yelled agitatedly, "Jiang Qihui, whose side are you on? He crippled your nephew, and yet you defend him? Did your conscience get eaten by a dog? Have you forgotten how our family helped you? If it weren't for us, you would have died on your sickbed!"
