Supremely Talented Tyrant

"You still want to drink?!"

This beer isn't just for casual drinking. Hao Jian finished half of the dozen beers he ordered, and Lin Qingxue also finished half.

For Hao Jian, he doesn't care how much he drinks because his body quickly flushes it out, but Lin Qingxue is different. The more she drinks, the more alcohol she accumulates in her system, and she can't handle it...

"Yes, I want to drink! I'm happy!"

Lin Qingxue mumbled, slamming the table forcefully in her drunken state, lacking any of her usual elegance. But Hao Jian was used to this and wasn't bothered.

Several patrons noticed the pretty girl acting like a tough guy and were slightly surprised, but they said nothing and continued eating their food.

"Hey, big brother, that chick is smoking hot!"

As Hao Jian hugged Lin Qingxue, speaking drunkenly, a group of five men with fierce and intimidating looks arrived at the barbecue stand. A skinny man among them suddenly noticed the drunken Lin Qingxue, his sleazy eyes lit up, and he quickly tugged on the sleeve of a man beside him.

"Hmm? Where?"

The man glanced around but looked at another barbecue stand, frowning and spoke in a deep voice, "Tao Ru, where is she? I don't see anyone. That table has a woman, but she's not as hot as the ones we've had before!"

"Hey hey, Lian Yong brother, Tao Ru isn't talking about that stand, it's this one!"

Seeing his boss zoning out again at this crucial moment, another man standing beside Lian Yong pointed towards Lin Qingxue and chuckled.

This man looked more normal, but his dark circles made him appear slightly sinister, though he seemed more fierce.

"Yiqin, got it."

Lian Yong followed Lian Yiqin's gesture and spotted Lin Qingxue, his eyes lighting up instantly. He nodded and said, "She is indeed smoking hot."

"Hehe, boss, should we make a move?"

Tao Ru leered and laughed, saying, "We've been playing with mediocre stuff lately. I've never tried someone of this level. Boss, don't you want to give it a shot?"

Upon hearing this, Lian Yong shook his head. Despite being fierce, as a gangster, assessing the situation is crucial, and more importantly, being able to judge people. This might not matter elsewhere, but here in Hua City, where Underground Forces have been unified in recent years, there are dealings with the officials.

This makes Hua City increasingly challenging, especially for people like them. If they misjudge someone, they could be wiped out by the next day.

In all of Hua City, if someone catches your eye, like the beautiful Lin Qingxue, it's essential to investigate their background. Otherwise, there's no guarantee she doesn't have connections.

"Even if we want to, we need to investigate this woman and the man's background. I don't want to die yet; we're just gangsters, can't compare to those folks..."

"Boss, that's not right. Once we finish tonight, we'll throw them away. If we do it discreetly, it'll be fine..."

Listening to Lian Yong's reasoning, Tao Ru felt contempt. In his view, if he wanted something, he'd just take it directly. Worrying wouldn't achieve anything big.

Of course, he didn't dare say this out loud. If Lian Yong got offended, he'd be in trouble.

"Boss, have you thought about it? If this woman had a background, wouldn't there be bodyguards? That skinny guy, do you think he can protect her?"

Due to Lin Qingxue's rare beauty, even Lian Yiqin, who usually agreed with his boss, opposed him. He analyzed for Lian Yong, saying, "You know we've investigated several targets before, and we couldn't touch those folks."

"Besides, we found those people always had bodyguards. Now, can you see any bodyguard here?!"

"If there were bodyguards, would they let this woman drink like this? Even if she's foolish, she wouldn't get herself drunk in front of others!"

"Maybe there's something going on?"

Lian Yong was somewhat moved by Lian Yiqin's analysis. He liked the thrill, often resolving concerns with money or targeting people of lesser status, keeping things smooth throughout the year.

"Pff, what situation?"

Lian Yiqin scoffed, saying, "Boss, I know you're tempted. We've never seen someone of this caliber. Once we take care of that skinny guy, won't she be at our mercy?"

Hitting the nail on the head, Lian Yiqin knew he had almost convinced him, and played his last card: "Even if you're worried, we can deal with it and immediately leave Hua City. With our skills, we'll thrive in another city, won't we?"

"Moreover, there are only a few tables of patrons here. If we just scare them, we won't have any issues, right?!"

Exactly!

After hearing his brother's analysis, Lian Yong made up his mind: do it! This kind of woman, even at the cost of ten years of life, it's worth it!

Moreover, as his brother said, once it's done, they can flee. Even if she has a background, they'd be far gone by then.

"Get him!"

Looking at Lin Qingxue, the intense heat hidden deep in Lian Yong's eyes suddenly erupted. With a low shout, he took big strides toward Lin Qingxue's table, bringing his underlings with him, charged with aggression.

Hao Jian was unaware of the exchange between Lian Yong and his group, as they were quite far away from him and his attention was fully on Lin Qingxue. How could he notice?

After much persuasion and sincere coaxing, Lin Qingxue finally agreed to stop drinking. Meanwhile, Hao Jian had scarfed down all the barbecue. If the girl were to grab some alcohol after the barbecue, what would he do? No amount of persuasion would work then!

Seeing all the barbecue finished, Hao Jian let out a sigh of relief. But at the same time, he regretted bringing Lin Qingxue to drink. Why not just have some barbecue and drinks simply, without all this trouble?

"It's already past midnight. You should head back to your dorm at school. You still have classes tomorrow. If you can't make it to class, I'll have to take the blame."

"Wait here for me a moment, I'll go settle the bill!"

After comforting Lin Qingxue with a little joke, Hao Jian stood up, ready to leave and find the owner to pay the bill. But just then, he caught sight of five people storming towards them with an intimidating air, and his eyes lit up with surprise. What was up with these people?

When he noticed that all five pairs of eyes were focused on Lin Qingxue, a smirk appeared on his lips. Looks like once again, this girl's beauty had attracted some lawless individuals.

He looked around, noticing it was late and the street was almost deserted, with only a couple of tables left occupied. The owner was preparing to close up.

Seeing the aggressive demeanor of these five, Hao Jian realized things wouldn't end peacefully tonight. Since there was no avoiding it, he decided to face it head on!

"This is the second time tonight I'm getting involved..."

Thinking back to earlier in the evening when he dealt with four burly foreigners in the bar because of Lin Qingxue, Hao Jian looked at the five men approaching, shook his head with a wry smile.

"Such is my laborious fate!"

With a low lament, Hao Jian shifted his steps, initially intending to head for the owner, but now turned towards the five men. Regardless of what these people wanted to say, Hao Jian knew he had to fight them today.

When there were more people around, they might be hesitant. Who knows if any of the remaining patrons would side with Hao Jian?

But now with fewer people around and their numbers greater, they naturally felt fearless. Hao Jian understood this mindset well; when dealing with other gangsters before, they often thought the same.

"Why is this kid looking at us?!"

Tao Ru saw Hao Jian walking towards them, staring straight at them, and felt an inexplicable anger rise up within him.

"Hmph, who cares what he's doing?! If he dares to get in our way, we just knock him down!"

Lian Yiqin didn't care much. He knew well the strength of his elder brother. Aside from being a bit cautious, he didn't have many issues otherwise.

"Hey, you..."

Tao Ru grinned as Hao Jian got in front of them, ready to say some condescending words, to relish the feeling of superiority in such moments.

"Whoosh!"

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed the skinny guy in front of him disappeared. As he was puzzled, Lian Yong's loud shout burst in his ear.

"Idiot, it's to your left hand side!"

"What, left hand side?"

Startled by Lian Yong's words, Tao Ru quickly turned his head. As soon as he turned, a massive fist rapidly filled his vision, followed by darkness as he lost consciousness.

"Boom!"

Tao Ru's body was knocked to the ground by one punch from Hao Jian, his fists encircled with power, radiating an intimidating aura. Hao Jian then stomped the ground, instantly flashing to Lian Yiqin's side, and similarly knocked him down with a punch. Against such small gangsters, Hao Jian didn't need to exert much effort.

"You..."

In the next two seconds, Lian Yong watched helplessly as all four of his underlings were taken down by the opponent, his heart trembling as he seized the chance to speak.

"What are you doing?!"

"Heh, what am I doing? You all know exactly what you're trying to do!"

Hao Jian let out a cold laugh. Did these guys really not know what they were planning?!
