Supremely Talented Tyrant

The parcel of land was ultimately confiscated by Ye Wenying, with the Murong Family not gaining a single benefit, but instead losing a staggering ten billion!

Fury simmered in Murong Yeyun at the thought, "Hao Jian! You forced my hand! If I can't have it, nobody will!"

"Oh? Murong Yeyun, did Grandpa also call you?" Murong Chengkong walked over from the yard, dressed in luxurious clothes, a soft smile playing across his handsome face. "We can go together then. I've actually missed you a bit after not seeing you for several days."

Murong Yeyun glanced at Murong Chengkong and frowned, feeling displeased, yet he forcefully suppressed the urge to explode.

Murong Xiao sat in a chair, his expression very calm. Murong Yeyun could sense the anger hidden in his eyes.

"Yeyun, tell me, what benefits has the Murong Family reaped under your leadership these days?" Murong Xiao tapped the table and questioned.

"Grandpa, I was too eager for quick success with the land issue. It was my oversight!" Murong Yeyun declared with a serious face, filled with self-reproach.

"Huh, Murong Yeyun, you really are careless. The Murong Family has lost ten billion for nothing, and you think you can just brush it off as an oversight?" Murong Chengkong covered his mouth and chuckled, taunting him.

"Murong Chengkong, when it comes to the affairs of the Murong Family, I'm afraid it's not your place to comment yet!" Murong Yeyun retorted coldly.

Murong Chengkong huffed and was about to retaliate when Murong Xiao slammed his hand on the table, prompting him to immediately shut his mouth.

"Idiotic! What are you even thinking, fighting among yourselves at a time like this!" The Old Master cursed angrily, then turned to Murong Yeyun: "I never imagined you could be so incompetent, so foolish! Who is Hao Jian? A man who devours without spitting out bones! And you actually cooperated with him? Accepted his peace offering? Ha ha..."

Murong Xiao glared furiously, his pale face turning red with rage, then suddenly he burst into laughter scornfully, "A hundred billion! The Murong Family cannot sustain such a gaping maw, Yeyun. You wanted to prove your capability, and now, you've proven it to everyone. You're not cut out for this game. You'd better stick to being an assistant!"

In the end, he glanced at Murong Chengkong.

Murong Chengkong's face showed surprise. Is Grandpa really going to hand the Murong Family over to me? He felt a surge of secret pleasure. Even an eternal second-in-command has his day in the sun!

An assistant?! Is Grandpa really considering using Murong Chengkong?! Murong Yeyun's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a pang of pain. At the same time, a fierce anger welled up inside him. Hao Jian, I refuse to believe I can't beat you!

His lips curled into a cold smirk as he said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, please give me one more chance! The hundred billion won't be lost in vain. This time, I want to duel him! Even if it costs me my life, I will tear a piece from Hao Jian's flesh!"

The reason Murong Xiao felt such heartache and indignation was partly because of Hao Jian, who had repeatedly dealt the Murong Family setbacks.

On the other hand, he was also furious that the Murong Family lacked capable people! Murong Qiushui had already betrayed them, and Yeyun was far from Qiushui's equal. As for Chengkong... his reason for calling him over was to make Yeyun feel the crisis and ignite his fighting spirit. If he really handed over the position to Chengkong, he feared he lacked the... manliness required.

Is this to force me out of retirement?

Seeing Yeyun's determination, Murong Xiao decided to give him one more chance. If he could truly bring down Hao Jian, even at the cost of significant damage, then the hundred billion wouldn't be wasted.

Murong Xiao took a deep breath, "Hao Jian is unpredictable, wearing a smile but harboring malicious intentions. If you're going to deal with him, you have to be even more careful, exceed his level of cunning!"

Murong Chengkong's brows furrowed, clearly still distrusted.

"Grandpa's teachings are correct," Murong Yeyun replied, immediately nodding in agreement when he heard there was still a chance.

"Everyone out! Remember! The enemy of the Murong Family is Hao Jian!"

"Yes!" The two bowed to Murong Xiao and then withdrew.

Murong Yeyun gave his brother a cold look and walked out first.

No one else shall control my destiny; I will control it myself! he roared inwardly.

He took out his mobile phone and called Ye Wenying, "Wenying, how about the Murong Family and the Ye Family join forces once more?"

...

"Wife, yours have gotten bigger, huh!" Hao Jian groped all over Shu Ya's chest.

Shu Ya kicked at him in embarrassment and indignation. He caught her fragrant foot in one hand and pulled her toward him. He planted a kiss on Shu Ya's face.

Ruo Lan and Moon Goddess Jiang stood to the side, their faces flushed red as they silently cursed his shamelessness. No, shameless wasn't enough to describe him—flirting with Shu Ya right in front of them...

"Sister Lan, yours have gotten bigger too!"

"Heh, yours are even more elastic," Hao Jian went on to assault Ruo Lan and Moon Goddess Jiang's **.

He had incited public outrage! Just as the three ladies were about to join forces to teach Hao Jian a lesson, his phone rang.

"What? Murong Qiushui has been kidnapped?!" Hearing the news on the other end of the line, Hao Jian too was shocked. It was only a matter of time before something happened to Murong Qiushui with the Murong Family, but he hadn't expected it so soon!

As Hao Jian continued the phone conversation and walked out of the house, the three women asked in unison, "Where are you going?"

"To the Murong Family!" Hao Jian yelled.

If Hao Jian were to rashly move against Murong Yeyun, it could be disadvantageous for him if the Murong Family intervened, dividing their efforts between searching for Murong Qiushui and dealing with the Family.

Hao Jian arrived at the gate of the Murong residence, only to find the black Lincoln Stretch Limousine again. He smirked and hurried over, as Murong Yekong was just about to step on the gas to escape.

"Hey, Brother Chengkong, we sure are fated to meet!" Hao Jian said with a smile as he knocked on the car window.

"Hao Jian! Why is it always you! What are you up to now?" Murong Chengkong rolled down the window and looked at Hao Jian with a wary expression.

Why do I always have such bad luck, constantly bumping into this jinx! Murong Chengkong cursed inwardly.

"Asking me to do something for you?"

"Ask? Heh... Hao Jian, if you have something to say, spill it fast!"

"Take me to see your old man." Hao Jian dragged him out of the car.

"Be civilized! See my grandfather? No way!" He still held a grudge over that incident.

Hao Jian raised his fist, shook it, and blew on it with his mouth.

That was clearly a threat!

"Hao Jian, this is Murong territory, you..."

"Ow!"

Murong Chengkong was crying inside. So what if you know how to fight? This is a society ruled by law—do you understand that?

With Murong Chengkong leading the way, the path was clear.

"Grandpa, Hao Jian wants to see you." Murong Chengkong knocked on the door of Murong Xiao's room.

"Oh? Have him wait for me in the living room!" Murong Xiao said in a strong voice.

"My, Old Master Murong, you seem to be getting more and more spirited!" Hao Jian met Murong Xiao in the living room, acting all familiar.

"No one comes to the Temple of the Three Treasures without a reason, just get to the point!" Murong Xiao commanded without offering a seat or tea, with an imposing voice.

"Your dear grandson has kidnapped Murong Qiushui. I want you to lend me Capital City for two hours so I can find her!" Hao Jian sat down on his own and said lightly.

Murong Xiao was taken aback at the bold request. As if you can just borrow Capital City whenever you like! "Heh... on what grounds do you think you can have Capital City for two hours?!"

"If you don't want the Murong Family to end with you!"

"You... ignorant boy, so brazen! Do you think the Murong Family has no one left?!" Murong Xiao hit the tea table, stood up furiously with angry eyes, and shouted loudly.

"Aren't you a person of the Murong Family?"

"You... quite the sharp tongue!" Murong Xiao's face turned white from anger but then he thought of how this boy liked to win verbal arguments and forcefully suppressed his rage.

"See, the Murong Family does have people, so how can you say I'm bullying you?" Hao Jian continued to provoke his anger. Dealing with an old fox who had been through all sorts of struggles in society, if you don't stir their emotions, they might just end up playing Tai Chi with you all smiles.

"Qiushui and Yeyun are family. How can there be talk of kidnapping? I'm afraid it's none of an outsider's business to meddle with the affairs of the Murong Family!" Murong Xiao held his breath while secretly looking for an opportunity to take control.

"Haha... Your Murong Family doesn't treat Murong Qiushui as a person, what now? Are you claiming relations with her?" Hao Jian suddenly laughed, "Murong Qiushui has long been estranged from the Murong Family, no relation whatsoever."

Hao Jian stood up, staring at Murong Xiao, "She's now my woman! Do you think I should be involved or not?!"

"What?! Your woman! Hao Jian, you really have no shame!"

Murong Xiao was also shocked. He had thought of the possibility that Murong Qiushui might cooperate with Hao Jian, but he never imagined that such a proud person would become the woman of this arrogant young brat!

"What's wrong? Am I not good enough? Am I not handsome enough? Don't I have enough money? Or is my 'thing' not big enough? Calling me 'Little Brother-in-law' would be to your advantage." Hao Jian said with a cheeky smile.

Murong Chengkong felt like he was bleeding inside. Can't we have a normal conversation for once? What do I care about the size of your 'thing'!

Seeing a look from his grandfather, Murong Chengkong sat down resentfully.

"If anything happens to Murong Qiushui, I assure you, I will definitely take the lives of the Murong Family Clan!" Hao Jian suddenly returned to the topic of the kidnapping.

"Old Master Murong, trading is all about honesty. Rest assured, as long as you and the Murong Family do not interfere in this matter, I won't bother about your beloved grandson. My word is my bond, the Murong Family will have descendants! I believe you wouldn't want this vast estate of yours to be inherited by no one in the end, to be devoured by the other families, right?!"

Honesty? Keeping your word? Peace of mind?! Threatening people with the life of the Murong heir and asking for peace of mind? Crazy, must be crazy! Inside, Murong Chengkong felt a thousand alpacas riding on caonimas stampeding through his mind.

"Humph! Hao Jian, you're really underestimating the Murong Family!" Murong Xiao slammed the table again.

Although he founded Dragon Tooth and had some influence in Hua City, the Murong Family had been deeply rooted in Capital City for decades. If all their resources were rallied against him, Murong Xiao was quite certain that the Murong Family wouldn't necessarily lose.

"You're absolutely right, I do indeed look down upon you!"

Hao Jian enunciated each word clearly, forcefully, with an overbearing tone.

In an instant, Murong Xiao's face turned pale, his mouth trembling; in all his years, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that. Never!

Murong Chengkong, seeing his grandfather being looked down upon and infuriated by Hao Jian to such a degree, was angry, but even more so, he felt refreshed! Because this was the treatment he always received within the family.

"Pleasure doing business with you!" Hao Jian didn't wait for a response; he stood up and strode out confidently.

"Slam!" Murong Xiao rose again, pounding the table.
