Supremely Talented Tyrant

"Let's go inside first. Don't make any noise until our backup arrives. Tomorrow, I'll give Hao Jian a surprise!"

With a cold smile, Madison led a group of subordinates into the villa. Once inside, the more than twenty bodyguards quickly found the villa's blind spots, stood quietly with guns in hand.

The bodyguards under Madison's command might not match Hao Jian in a fight, but in terms of professionalism, very few could compare.

These individuals were originally bodyguards for the various members of the Nicholas Consortium. Their methods and professional skills were not something that could be easily learned.

"Dan'er, take Miss Yuan Shanshan downstairs and treat her well. Don't let her escape!"

Upon entering the villa, Madison glanced at Dan'er and waved him away.

"Understood, boss!"

Dan'er nodded, then turned and walked towards a room inside the villa. He casually tossed Yuan Shanshan onto a bed, tied her hands and feet, then closed the door and left.

Two hours later...

"Boss, our people have arrived!"

In the living room, Madison, deep in thought with his eyes closed, heard Dan'er's voice, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Dan'er, and said, "Have them set up the entire villa. Finish by noon tomorrow. We need to greet our guest!"

........................

"Spice Ginger, what's the situation?"

Today, Hao Jian was a bit different; he got up at around ten o'clock. First thing upon waking, he called Spice Ginger. After a whole night, Madison's side should be tidying up, right?

"Hehe, Young Master Hao, that old guy Madison has completely entered his villa, even adding a hundred more bodyguards. My informants also saw them burying some things in the yard, probably landmines or something!"

Even though he didn't sleep much last night, Spice Ginger was still brimming with energy, sharing the information he gathered with Hao Jian, unaware that Yuan Shanshan, whom they had been protecting, had long fallen into Madison's hands.

Moreover, the subordinates he sent to protect Yuan Shanshan had all been killed by Dan'er, not a single one spared!

The subordinates supposed to report this information to him did not get the chance; perhaps it was forgotten, or maybe the pride from the current intel made him reckless.

"Keep watching them!"

Upon hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Hao Jian's lips. It seemed like he would win this time after all. Everything was under his control, and Madison could not make any waves.

Even with a hundred more men, it wouldn't make a qualitative difference to Hao Jian. Instead, these men would become a burden for Madison.

After giving Spice Ginger a few more instructions, Hao Jian hung up, went to brush his teeth and wash his face, happily ate some breakfast, and prepared to leave home.

The ringing phone halted his steps…

..................

"How's the setup going? I can't wait to invite our guest over!"

Inside Madison's villa, Madison looked at Dan'er before him, his old face glowing, clearly confident after a night's rest and the thrill he hadn't felt in a long time!

This time, with Yuan Shanshan in hand, he had leverage to restrict Hao Jian's movements. And with plenty of manpower, once the ambush was set, he should be able to catch Hao Jian off guard!

However, he wasn't concerned about the arrangements in the open yard; he couldn't believe Hao Jian wouldn't send someone to monitor him there, so those were merely for show.

The main actions were inside the villa. The layout there was the key, the first line of defense for leaving Hao Jian!

"Boss, the internal mechanisms are mostly set up. Apart from a few devices needing adjustment, there are no other issues."

"If you want to initiate the plan, you can start now. They can solve those few issues before Hao Jian arrives."

Hearing this, a smile crept over Madison's old face. He patted Dan'er on the shoulder, saying, "When Hao Jian arrives, it's up to you to hold the scene. After all, the only person in my hand who can contend with Hao Jian is you, Dan'er!"

"Heh, boss, rest assured!"

Nodding, Madison grabbed his phone off the table, looked at Dan'er, and said, "Did you get Hao Jian's contact information?"

"Yes, I hacked into Yuan Shanshan's phone and found it there. It should be correct!"

With that, Dan'er relayed the phone number to Madison...

"Mhm!"

As Dan'er finished speaking, Madison dialed the last number, pressed the call button, and awaited Hao Jian's response…

............

"Who is this?"

Facing an unknown number, Hao Jian couldn't be sure who it was and responded with a low, resonant tone.

"Hao Jian!"

"Madison?!"

Upon hearing this tone, Hao Jian's eyes instantly narrowed.

"Haha! Looks like you're still quite attentive to my voice!"

Madison's mocking voice carried a chill; after all, they were enemies. Even if one tried to maintain composure upon hearing an enemy's voice, it wouldn't be easy to stay calm, right?

Even if the person was Hao Jian or Madison, both were accustomed to turbulent situations, yet still found it hard to remain composed over such matters.

"Heh, what's up?"

Hao Jian couldn't be bothered to waste time with this old fellow. No one visits without reason, and he refused to believe this old guy came just to banter; they were both busy people.

"Heh-heh, I won't waste words with you either."

"Hao Jian, your woman Yuan Shanshan is in my hands now. If you want her alive, bring one hundred billion with you to me by twelve noon. If you're late even by a second, I'll kill your woman without hesitation!"

"Remember, only you can come alone. If you bring even one more person, I'll mercilessly deal with your woman!"

After speaking, Madison directly hung up the phone, unconcerned about how Hao Jian would find his location. He had left plenty of tracks, so if Hao Jian couldn't find him, he might need to reassess Hao Jian's capabilities.

"Damn it!"

Upon hearing Madison's threat, Hao Jian's face suddenly turned grim, his eyes flickering.

All of his beloved ones were protected by many guards. Any disturbances, he would immediately receive news, but now that old bastard Madison claimed Yuan Shanshan was in his grasp?!

"Beep beep..."

Unable to think clearly, Hao Jian instinctively dialed Yuan Shanshan's phone. He called several times, yet Yuan Shanshan still didn't answer! Unconvinced, he tried a few more times, but still received no response!

"That old bastard!"

He angrily threw the phone onto the sofa, an enraged roar bursting forth from Hao Jian's mouth, his face twisted, with unrestrained killing intent surging from within him!

"How dare he touch my woman?!"

Roaring, growling, the killing intent surged, and the room's temperature seemed to plummet, like the dead of winter!

"I had planned to play with you for a while, but now you seek death yourself, don't blame me, Hao Jian, for showing no mercy!" Ice-cold words escaped from Hao Jian's mouth, resonating in the empty room.

"Do you really think you can provoke me, Hao Jian, casually? Or that you can stand against me?!"

"In Hua City, I am heaven and earth! Even if the emperor comes, he must show me respect!"

"This time, don't think you can leave Hua City; your fate was sealed the instant you touched my woman!"

"Death is your only outcome, Madison!"

The furious roar echoed through the room, with killing intent wreaking havoc on everything within it!

"Spice Ginger!"

Picking up the phone from the sofa, he dialed Spice Ginger. As soon as the call connected, Hao Jian's voice, carrying extreme coldness, slowly emerged, frightening Spice Ginger so much he almost dropped the phone.

At once, he tentatively replied, "Young Master Hao, what do you need?"

"Gather all your men and directly surround Madison's villa for me! Let no one leave! If even one escapes, I'll hold you accountable!"

Upon hearing this, Spice Ginger's expression hardened. Was this a prelude to action?! Why so sudden?

Though his heart was filled with countless questions, Spice Ginger knew now was not the time to ask. Just as he was about to hang up, Hao Jian's next words nearly made him pass out.

"Prepare one hundred billion in cash and deliver it to me."

One... one hundred billion?!

Spice Ginger suddenly felt a desire to cry. It's not that he couldn't muster one hundred billion, but Hao Jian emphatically requested cash! Even if gathered, a hundred billion in cash would fill a warehouse to the brim. Taking such a fortune on the road, wouldn't it attract unwelcome attention?!

Moreover, gathering such an amount in cash would be quite difficult. He wasn't even sure if Hua City's banks had that much cash on hand...

"I'll bring it to you in an hour!"

But this was Hao Jian's request. No matter how challenging, he had to accomplish it. He refused to believe with a hundred banks in Hua City, exchanging for that much cash would be impossible, right?

"In an hour?"

Checking the time, an hour later would be around eleven twenty, ample time to reach Madison's lair. Hence, he nodded and said, "I'll leave everything to you. Get it done quickly if you can!"

"Also, this time, I permit you to use all weapons at your disposal!"
