Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 543 - I Want to Be with You

Hao Jian lifted his head and remained silent, merely looking at Kong Xiaozhen with great interest, waiting for his next words.

"And if Ye Wenying wants to take control of Hua City, he must first get past the four major families. After all, we are the local powers here; they must subdue us first to truly claim Hua City."

"You killed He Changhuan. The He Family will definitely not stand with you, the Baili Family is an uncertain factor, and Liang Jiankun is too proud to join you. Whether I stand with you or not depends on your decision," Kong Xiaozhen reminded Hao Jian.

"Oh? So, you're threatening me, saying that if I don't accept your terms, you will side with Ye Wenying?" Hao Jian asked with a mocking smile; Kong Xiaozhen clearly meant this.

"Hao Jian, do you really think so highly of yourself that you believe you can take on the four major families and the Ye Family at the same time?" Kong Xiaozhen asked with a frown, his expression no longer calm. This guy was too arrogant, leaving him at a loss for words.

He had come seeking cooperation, but seeing Hao Jian's attitude, he was getting anxious.

"Taking on the four major families and the Ye Family at the same time is indeed impossible, but if I target one of them first, say, your Kong Family, then defeat each one by one, consuming them all, wouldn't that work? Once I eliminate the four major families, Hua City will still be mine, and Ye Wenying will get nothing!" Hao Jian said with a bizarre smile.

"You're insane!" Kong Xiaozhen's eyes showed shock; this guy was really scary, actually planning to stand against several major families on his own—it was suicidal!

"Kong Xiaozhen, don't overestimate your importance. Perhaps in your eyes, but in mine, you are nothing but a bunch of clowns, a group of lowly ants, easy to crush!" Hao Jian scoffed coldly, his expression very indifferent.

As the God of Death, he stood at the pinnacle of power, able to alter the world with just a sentence. Anyone he wanted dead, even if it was a national leader, would be in mortal danger.

The Kong Family may seem supreme to ordinary people, but to him, a fiend, a Demon King, they were just a bunch of ants, easily crushed underfoot.

"Now, get out!" Hao Jian said rudely, not bothering to waste words with Kong Xiaozhen anymore.

Because what Kong Xiaozhen said was similar to He Changhuan's words, trying to persuade him to accept their terms. But Hao Jian's personality was stubborn, the more they wanted him to compromise, the more he refused to!

Having been insulted by Hao Jian like this, the old Kong Xiaozhen would probably have exploded with rage on the spot.

But this time, Kong Xiaozhen just smiled and said, "If your attitude weren't so strong, perhaps I would have turned around and left immediately, but fortunately, you didn't disappoint me."

It turned out that Kong Xiaozhen was testing Hao Jian; if there had been the slightest hesitation from Hao Jian, Kong Xiaozhen would have lost faith in him.

Because this would mean Hao Jian was afraid of Ye Wenying. Why fear him? Because he lacked confidence.

Fortunately, Hao Jian showed no signs of cowardice, which finally convinced Kong Xiaozhen.

Hao Jian frowned at Kong Xiaozhen, wondering if there was something wrong with this guy's brain.

"I want to follow you!" Kong Xiaozhen stated outright.

"Are you f*cking kidding me?" Hao Jian was stunned for a moment before looking at Kong Xiaozhen.

Follow him? The proud Kong Xiaozhen actually wanted to follow him? Wasn't that a joke?

He had targeted Kong Xiaozhen before, causing Kong Xiaozhen to lose face terribly, and now Kong Xiaozhen was telling Hao Jian he wanted to be his dog?

"I'm not joking. I want to follow you!" Kong Xiaozhen said seriously. He naturally knew that the Kong Family no longer had a choice by now: either go to Ye Wenying or submit to Hao Jian; there was no third option.

"Give me a reason!" Hao Jian said. There should be a reason if Kong Xiaozhen wanted to follow him.

"No reason. I just chose you over Ye Wenying," Kong Xiaozhen said candidly. If Ye Wenying had not threatened the Kong Family, he wouldn't have stepped forward.

Or maybe he would just continue to degenerate, but he still cared about the Kong Family, so he had to stand out.

Old Master Kong, knowing this, let Kong Xiaozhen go ahead. Even though Kong Xiaozhen had been degenerating, as long as he cared about the family's honor, everything could be forgiven.

"Then why choose me? Logically speaking, isn't Ye Wenying a better choice for you?" Hao Jian asked, puzzled.

It seemed to everyone that Ye Wenying was stronger than him.

"Indeed, from appearances, Ye Wenying does seem more likely to win," Kong Xiaozhen said with a smile, sighing as if recalling a painful memory, "When you provoked me and Liang Jiankun back then, everyone thought we had the upper hand, thinking you were doomed. But the result was that He Changhuan was killed by you, and I was almost driven mad by you."

"I have a premonition that Ye Wenying will also become another corpse under your feet!" Kong Xiaozhen said with a piercing gaze, having changed completely after being repeatedly humiliated by Hao Jian. Everyone thought Kong Xiaozhen had degenerated in that month, but only he knew that he was constantly reflecting on the real reason why he lost to Hao Jian.

He finally concluded that Hao Jian was too mysterious.

Every time they thought Hao Jian was surely doomed, Hao Jian would always find various ways to resolve the danger, making them feel utterly outplayed and ultimately manipulated to death by him.

Kong Xiaozhen still didn't know what other methods or trump cards Hao Jian had, but his instincts told him that Hao Jian wouldn't be that simple.

Therefore, Kong Xiaozhen was willing to bet on Hao Jian, though of course, this required a certain amount of courage and boldness.

"You really think highly of me!" Hao Jian said with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"I underestimated you in the past, which has led me to where I am today. Now, I definitely will not make that low-level mistake again!" Kong Xiaozhen said resolutely. He had learned his lesson and would rather treat Hao Jian as a god than underestimate him again.

"Although what you say sounds sincere, I can't just take your word for it, can I?" Hao Jian said.

"Then tell me, what do I need to do to make you believe me?" Kong Xiaozhen was prepared for this; he knew Hao Jian wouldn't easily trust him.

"He Changhuan is dead. Bring me the He Family on a silver platter, then I will believe you!" Hao Jian said with a playful smile.

Kong Xiaozhen frowned. If he still had the backing of the Kong Family, there might be a possibility of achieving this. But now that he had parted ways with the Kong Family, he had to rely on himself for everything. How could swallowing the He Family be easy under these circumstances?

"Give me some time!" Kong Xiaozhen did not refuse, knowing this was Hao Jian's test of his loyalty and capability.

Of course, Hao Jian was not interested in a useless weakling or a traitor always ready to stab him in the back.

Immediately, Kong Xiaozhen bowed deeply to Hao Jian and then resolutely turned and walked away.

"Boss, how did the talk go?" Li He quietly approached after Kong Xiaozhen left.

"Not bad," Hao Jian said casually and then asked, "But how come he came to you? Did you know each other before?"

"How could I know him? In the past, he never even looked me in the eye, as if I was too insignificant for his attention," Li He said with a bitter smile, feeling somewhat thrilled discussing it. Previously, he was a low-level character unnoticed by others, but now, after following Hao Jian, even a Young Master like Kong Xiaozhen would seek his help, which made Li He feel indescribably proud.

"He wants to follow me. As a test of his loyalty, I told him to eliminate the He Family," Hao Jian told Li He.

Li He stared blankly, astonished that Hao Jian shared such a confidential matter with him.

Suddenly, Li He was overwhelmed with excitement, realizing that Hao Jian completely trusted him.

"But he has already left the Kong Family. To ask him to confront the substantial He Family, I think that's hardly possible," Li He expressed his doubts.

"That is no longer my concern," Hao Jian shrugged and stood up, "Come on, let's go to the bar. It's been a while since I drank, and you are joining me!"

"Sure!" Li He agreed without a second thought.

Immediately, Hao Jian and Li He left the corporation, ready to find a bar for a leisurely drink.

Later, they were drinking at a bar named "Prosperous Era," where Li He, that rascal, even specifically found a few good-looking girls to accompany them.

All of them had sizable breasts, melon-seed faces, and seductive eyes, but the traces of plastic surgery were quite obvious, as their bodies were clearly sculpted by surgeons.

In Li He's view, how could you go to a bar without female company?

But Hao Jian actually wanted to drink quietly with just the two of them and casually chat, not expecting Li He to overdo it.

Seeing the helplessness on Hao Jian's face, Li He realized his mistake and shot an apologetic look at Hao Jian.

"Forget it, sit down," Hao Jian waved his hand at Li He, signaling it was okay. Since the people were already invited, it wouldn't be right to send them away now.

"Handsome, what do you do for a living?" At that moment, the hostess girls crowded around, leaning on Hao Jian and Li He.

Of course, more of them leaned on Li He because he was dressed in Armani clothes and trousers, his whole body donned in designer brands, clearly a wealthy man, so they fawned over Li He more.

While Hao Jian, dressed unfashionably like an unsophisticated country bumpkin, was simply ignored by them.

Hao Jian didn't mind at all; having no one to bother him was even better as he preferred to drink quietly by himself.
