Supremely Talented Tyrant

"Hehe, you should have adjusted to the time difference by now, right?"

"Mm."

With a laugh, Hao Jian said, "Is there something you need from me?"

"I have a wine party tomorrow, and I thought, since you've just arrived in San Francisco, I'd take you along for some fun..."

Sofia hesitated a moment; her gentle voice came through the phone. Although she's relatively bold by nature, she seldom actively invites men to events.

After all, her identity determines her perspective on things; even though she can openly interact with anyone, her inner pride still makes her seem like a high and mighty peacock.

But this pride seems to crumble before Hao Jian; for some unknown reason, just a glance from Hao Jian makes Sofia's heart a little tumultuous, her heartbeat akin to a deer in the headlights.

Having lived for so long, Sophia naturally knows what this means. Yet, as per her personality, when she meets someone who moves her heart, she naturally wants to observe his character and humanity. As for his identity, she doesn't care much.

In her view, men in this world who can match her status are rare. At least in her eyes, Hao Jian is not among them, even if he can obtain Shu Ya Group's magazines.

"A wine party?"

Upon hearing Sofia's voice, Hao Jian was slightly taken aback; if it's tomorrow, he really doesn't have the time. After all, he's still figuring out how to crash the Nicholas Consortium wine party, so Sofia's invitation today would have to be declined.

However, Hao Jian didn't want to outright refuse, so he asked, "What kind of wine party?"

"Hehe, of course, it's the Nicholas wine party causing a stir in San Francisco recently! Let me tell you, I worked really hard to get this invitation. If you don't agree, just wait and see!"

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian's face lit up; it's the Nicholas Consortium wine party! Haha! Truly, heaven is helping me! I was wondering how to sneak in, and now I have a way!

"Although I don't like attending these wine parties, it's different if I have a beauty with me; you can pick me up tomorrow."

Here in San Francisco, Hao Jian doesn't have a car, and attending such a wine party, he certainly couldn't take Sofia in a taxi, right?

Even if he's going to kill someone, he absolutely can't show any slip before meeting the target. This time, it's Sofia's invitation, so naturally, she has to drive him there, since he doesn't even know the destination.

"Hmph! Are you still a man?! You actually want me to pick you up?!"

Upon hearing that Hao Jian wanted her to pick him up, Sofia swung her hand furiously. Luckily, Hao Jian wasn't in front of her, or it's uncertain if she might swipe a slap across.

Those men chasing her before couldn't bow their heads low enough under her skirt; no man has ever spoken to her like Hao Jian.

But isn't it exactly this kind of man that's intriguing?

Sofia flashed a slight smile. She had never encountered someone like Hao Jian; so calm like a scholar when quiet, yet accepting a beauty's invite without any embarrassment or politeness.

Wondering if this guy knew my identity, would he still talk to me like this?

Thinking about her identity, Sofia suddenly became anxious, worried that once Hao Jian knew her identity, he wouldn't talk to her as he does now.

She regretted a little why, after only knowing him for a few days, she was taking Hao Jian to such a high-level wine party, but Will was just too annoying!

Sofia's dilemma was unknown to Hao Jian, who only knew the name Sofia, but not her identity. However, thinking it's not likely to be low, since she's a woman who can attend the Nicholas wine party.

Still, no matter how big Sofia's identity is, to him, she's just like an ordinary person, without any difference, unless she reaches the status of the president, Hao Jian wouldn't care.

"It's you who wants me to accompany you, okay? Besides, I don't have a car in San Francisco, if you're okay with us taking a taxi to the wine party, then you can let me come pick you up."

Saying this, Hao Jian chuckled slyly; it's only been a day or two since he met Sofia, but he roughly understood her character.

A typical princess mentality, yet she possesses a little more reason and emotion than those so-called princesses, at least that's his opinion.

"Hmph! I won't care about you anymore! Send the address to my phone later, and I'll pick you up at ten tomorrow morning; you better be up!" By the end, Sofia was practically gritting her teeth, this man is really awful! Is this still a Huaxia person?! How does he seem just like those wretched men?!"

"Haha, sure!"

After speaking, Hao Jian directly hung up the phone, casually sent the hotel address to her phone, then threw his phone onto the sofa not far away, afterward sprawling onto the sofa himself.

"Finally settled this, next time definitely get Spice Ginger to help gather information first! If he can't find it, the old fellow at the Ministry of Defense should assist!"

Thinking about this trip, Hao Jian suddenly sighed; back then, he was just too impatient, he should have gathered the information beforehand.

Now he's alone in San Francisco gathering information, which is quite exhausting. For these few pieces of information, he almost overturned the entire San Francisco network.

Fortunately, he happened to hear about the wine party while on the road. Otherwise, he would have considered hacking into the FBI's main system, after all, someone of Felix's level would definitely be recorded by the USA's FBI.

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

That night, after carefully and steadily cleaning his weapons, Hao Jian put them back into the briefcase, returned to his room, and went to sleep.

Unknowingly, the morning sunlight shone through. When a ray of sunlight struck Hao Jian's face, his originally tightly closed eyes slowly opened...

"Eight o'clock, just right."

Looking at the time, it was still early, so Hao Jian slowly got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth. After breakfast, he quietly waited in the living room for ten o'clock to arrive.

"Click click..."

Pistol, dagger, disassembled sniper rifle parts, after putting these items on himself, he walked out the door and quickly ran downstairs to the hotel parking lot.

Just as Hao Jian arrived at the parking lot, a red Porsche suddenly drove in from the hotel's entrance. Hao Jian instinctively looked over and saw Sophia in the car.

"Hmph! You must have just come down!"

After parking the car, Sophia saw Hao Jian arriving, and immediately gave him a fierce glare, snorting through her nose.

"Haha, let's not talk about this, let's go!"

Rubbing his nose, Hao Jian didn't plan to dwell on the issue, ignoring whether Sophia agreed or not. He flipped over the car door and jumped inside, making Sophia roll her eyes.

"Tell me, is there a man chasing you, and you just happen not to like him, but you have to go to this wine party, so you thought of taking me along?"

As the car slowly moved on the road, Hao Jian felt a bit bored and initiated a conversation, although upon doing so, he realized he shouldn't have chosen this topic...

"Huh?! How do you know?! Have you investigated me?!"

Hao Jian's words basically described her current situation, and Sophia immediately showed a curious expression. On the plane, Hao Jian had said it was his second time in San Francisco.

But how could someone visiting San Francisco for the second time know her current situation?

She didn't consider whether Hao Jian was lying to her, for on the plane, his clear eyes let her know he was not deceiving her.

"Haha, I've seen many of these situations, but I also want to thank you for taking me to this wine party. When I learned of the party's occurrence, I was thinking of ways to get in, but never expected you'd come looking for me."

Rubbing his nose, Hao Jian didn't plan to hide anything from Sophia. It's a strange feeling that although they've known each other only for two full days,

the trust seemed innate, making him feel curious, for he wanted to be wary of her but could not muster even the slightest caution in his heart.

Realizing this, Hao Jian didn't go against his instincts, choosing to go with the flow as he chatted with Sophia.

"That man is called Will..."

Looking at Hao Jian, Sophia's eyes suddenly dimmed, her voice cool, "He is one of the second-generation wealthy individuals in the Nicholas Consortium, a good-for-nothing playboy."

"That day, when I went shopping with my sisters, I happened to run into this guy, and I was targeted..."

"Since then, no matter what I do, in the company or anywhere, this guy appears in front of me and, regardless of the occasion, claims I'm his woman..."

"I'm very angry. This person isn't my type at all but there's nothing I can do. Even I am cautious of his background, so I could only tolerate his antics..."

"Years ago, I met my first boyfriend. Though calling him a boyfriend is a stretch since it was just nearly..."

"He had a car accident, and since then, every male friend I made later, without exception, is either crippled on one side or injured on the other."

"Gradually, there were no male friends around me, until you appeared..."

"I'm really worried..."

At this point, Sophia began to regret her impulsiveness. What if something happened to Hao Jian?

"Me? Don't worry about me."
