Supremely Talented Tyrant

The next day, Hao Jian boarded the flight back home. Remembering Sofia's forlorn expression at the airport, his own face turned a bit unnatural. Hastily, he shook his head, grabbed a magazine full of English text, and started reading, trying to divert his attention.

After all, he completely forgot about the side effects of that move yesterday! He had never used it before, having developed it himself. Normally, the reaction shouldn't be that intense, but who knew Sofia would react so strongly...

When it comes to feeling troubled, perhaps Sofia feels even more downhearted right now. After all, she ended up doing such an embarrassing thing in front of Hao Jian, even though it wasn't really her intention, the result was still real.

In the future, as long as Hao Jian appears before her, she might subconsciously recall the ambiguous incident from yesterday afternoon. It was just too embarrassing!

"Ah, you should believe in that saying, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'!"

Shaking his head filled with confusion, Hao Jian could only think of putting the matter behind him, as recalling it was too awkward.

For the next eight hours on the plane, Hao Jian did nothing but sleep and read magazines. Being on a flight, he was out of reach, unaware whether anything was happening, and having nothing to pass the time, he had no other choice.

Just as the eight-hour mark approached, a red alarm suddenly went off on the plane, jolting Hao Jian awake from his sleep.

There was a commotion among the passengers that quickly subsided, thanks to the captain's announcement.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry. Due to a delay, we didn't have time to refuel this flight, so we're running low on fuel. We've contacted the nearest airport for a landing."

"We apologize for not being able to stop at Hua City Airport. We'll head to the city nearest to Hua City. We hope for your understanding..."

And just like that, Hao Jian was taken to Sanchuan City, the closest city to Hua City by the flight.

"This damned airline... How could they not refuel the plane, not even wanting to spend a short amount of time on it!"

Leaving the airport, Hao Jian wore a displeased expression. He clearly wanted to return to Hua City early to see his beauty queens whom he had missed very much after being away for so many days.

Moreover, he needed to share the good news about Felix with Shu Ya and Yuan Shanshan. But now he ended up in Sanchuan City at late night, unable to return for the time being.

"Ah, let's just find a hotel for the night and call Brother Spice Ginger first."

Rubbing his forehead, Hao Jian didn't know what to say about the situation. So he took out his phone, turned it on, and called Brother Spice Ginger.

"Young Master Hao, what can I do for you?!"

As soon as Hao Jian's call was received, Brother Spice Ginger's solemn voice came through.

"Spice Ginger, I'm back in Huaxia. However, due to an issue with the flight, I've arrived in Sanchuan City, so I need to stay here for the night. Please arrange a hotel for me."

"Sure thing!"

Nothing was more pleasing than Hao Jian's return. Hao Jian had gone to the USA by himself, and these days, Brother Spice Ginger had been worried if anything might happen to him. Clearly, nothing major had occurred.

"Um... Young Master Hao, about Felix..."

Just as he was about to hang up, he remembered and cautiously asked.

"From now on, there won't be a Nicholas Consortium's Felix in this world."

Hearing Hao Jian's calm assurance, Brother Spice Ginger beamed with joy. Young Master Hao was truly remarkable, resolving an enemy in such a short time even without their help!

With this news, Brother Spice Ginger happily ended the call and quickly booked the best hotel in Sanchuan City for Hao Jian to check in.

Upon hearing that Hao Jian was coming, the hotel owner quickly spruced himself up and rushed to the hotel's entrance, eagerly awaiting Hao Jian's arrival.

Seeing the hotel owner personally waiting outside at such a late hour, the employees were shocked. Who could this be to warrant such treatment from their boss?

Soon, they saw the guest. With the owner displaying such a courteous attitude, they noticed Hao Jian's calm demeanor, realizing this young man was the one!

How could this young man command such respect from the boss? Who exactly was he?

Their hotel was the best in Sanchuan City; even if it wasn't five-star, it was at least top-tier four-star, equipped with presidential suites!

"Young Master Hao, if you have any requests, we'll be at your service immediately!"

With a smile, the owner pressed the elevator button for Hao Jian and escorted him to the floor of the presidential suite prepared for him.

Watching the elevator doors slowly close, the owner heaved a sigh of relief. This young man was indeed Young Master Hao, exuding such a powerful aura! Fortunately, Brother Spice Ginger called, or he wouldn't have known of his arrival, which would've been a huge miss...

By building some connections with Young Master Hao, haha, let's see if those people running five-star hotels will still dare flaunt before me...

Your five-star might be further, but it can't compare to my four-star backed by Young Master Hao.

"Anyway, it's boring, so I'll check out Sanchuan City's nightlife and have a drink or two. Haha, back in Hua City, those girls are too strict, not letting me enjoy a drink..."

Casually tossing his luggage on the carpet, Hao Jian thought about it and smiled, took his wallet, and left the room.

Under the respectful gaze of the hotel staff, Hao Jian flagged down a taxi. After exchanging some mutually understood words with the driver, they headed for the destination.

When it comes to familiarity with the entire city, it's not those in management, but the taxi drivers racing through the streets daily, who know it best.

Just tell them where you want to go, and they'll take you there — barring a few rookie drivers, most know the place.

Soon, the driver brought Hao Jian to a bar named Romantic Bar. Upon arrival, the driver grinned cheekily at Hao Jian, saying, "Sir, this is the most suitable place nearby. If you're looking for excitement, nothing matches a bar. The ladies here, with their curves, will surely please you, heh..."

"Haha, I just want someone to drink with; there's no better place for that than a bar!" Pulling out five red banknotes, Hao Jian handed them to the driver with a loud laugh.

Such was his habit; anyone who helped him or provided him with information would be rewarded.

"Haha, sir, you're the most generous customer I've ever met. The fare is just over a hundred, yet you gave so much. I almost feel embarrassed to take it..."

Despite his words, the driver swiftly pocketed the money, fearing Hao Jian might change his mind.

"I wish you a pleasant evening! Feel free to use our services again!"

With that, Hao Jian disembarked and walked into the bar...

"A Martini."

Casually ordering a Martini cocktail, Hao Jian took the drink and settled at an empty table, observing the men and women dancing wildly on the dance floor.

Among them, many women by day might be clad in business suits, epitomizing successful career women. But come night, they transform into wild women, driven by primitive desires, most seeking an escape from daytime pressures through nighttime revelry.

Hao Jian wasn't interested in such trivial matters today, not with the beauties by his side and his own aversion to them.

Only when unburdened with tasks does he indulge this nature, often forgetting he even has these tendencies.

Today, he just wanted to have a simple drink. And when drinking alone, this place felt like the best choice, observing the frenzied men and women, then reflecting on himself, stirring numerous thoughts.

Reflecting on life, on himself, on everything.

"Hey there, handsome. Sitting here all alone, you seem to have something on your mind. That's quite rare around here..."

Suddenly, as Hao Jian was engrossed tracking thoughts while watching the dancers, a lighthearted voice startled him, bringing him back. He turned to see a scantily clad beauty.

"Just a habit," he replied.

Only someone working there would approach and chat with him like that...

"If you want to chat, I'm always available. If you're promoting liquor, it depends on the caliber of your selection." Hao Jian chuckled softly, surprising the beauty.

Still smiling at Hao Jian, she cheerfully replied, "I'm a bar drink promoter, my name is Li Wen. Pleasure to meet you."

"Hao Jian."

Returning a smile and a nod, realizing she meant no harm, he said, "Have a seat. Let me hear about your drink selection, and if it's to my taste, you might see a significant commission tonight..."

"People like you are rare. You don't seem troubled; why are you here?"
