Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 604: Expelling the Nobility
Ye Wenying was also taken aback instantaneously, his expression a bit stiff under the pressure of that killing intent. Was this guy actually planning to violently lash out in public?
Everyone else was just as shocked, hardly able to believe that Hao Jian, who had just been playing the fool with a nonchalant smile, could change so abruptly into such a dominant force, brimming with killing intent.
Could it be that he would truly act on impulse and finish off Ye Wenying? If that were the case, then the feud between Hao Jian and the Ye Family would undoubtedly become a matter of life and death.
But just as Hao Jian advanced with pressure, a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air, with both feet kicking straight towards Hao Jian's face.
Hao Jian hurriedly blocked with both hands but was still kicked back several steps.
"Hmm?" Hao Jian revealed a look of surprise, staring intently at the figure falling from the sky, swift and fierce like a leopard.
"It's you again?" Hao Jian laughed.
Vivian was on full alert, having realized how terrifying the man was since their last confrontation. Facing Hao Jian now, she did not hold much confidence.
"Are you insane?" Vivian looked at Hao Jian incredulously. She thought she was crazy enough, but seeing Hao Jian's actions, she felt he was even more insane than her.
Vivian was well aware of Ye Wenying's status. In Huaxia, almost no one would dare to kill him.
Yet, Hao Jian was actually planning to eliminate Ye Wenying right here in broad daylight, which Vivian viewed as a death wish.
As incredible as Hao Jian might be, it was impossible for him to contend with the entire Ye Family, and the likely result would very well be a death without a complete corpse.
Hao Jian shrugged his shoulders and said teasingly, "Why so nervous? I wasn't really going to kill him; I just wanted to tease him a bit."
However, Ye Wenying narrowed his eyes with an ashen face; he knew Hao Jian was definitely not joking just now—he had truly intended to kill him.
"You can get lost!" Ye Wenying said coldly, standing behind Vivian.
"Don't be so petty. It was just a joke, and you react like this. You're clearly not cut out for big things!" Hao Jian mocked.
"I'm telling you to get lost!" Ye Wenying raised his voice considerably, his words becoming increasingly icy.
"I won't!" Hao Jian curled his lips, picked up a piece of cake, and stuffed it into his mouth. "You tell me to come, and I come, you tell me to go, and I go—wouldn't I lose face then?"
Hao Jian was acting unabashedly shameless, refusing to give him any attention and thick-skinned about staying put.
But Ye Wenying felt humiliated to the extreme, having underestimated Hao Jian. The reason he invited Hao Jian and wished to humiliate him was because he thought Hao Jian would have some concern for the Ye Family.
But now it seemed he had thought too much. Hao Jian simply didn't take him seriously, let alone the Ye Family, or else that scene just now wouldn't have happened.
As such, inviting Hao Jian here was a fundamentally wrong decision. Now that Hao Jian was obstinately refusing to leave, he had no way to deal with him, since neither threats nor inducements worked, and although Vivian was powerful, she was no match for him.
Just then, Ye Wenying had an idea and said with a sinister smile, "You might be feeling proud, but being overbearing might not be such a good thing. It could end up hurting you or someone close to you..."
The attendees, being elites of society, were all astute enough to immediately grasp the hidden meaning in Ye Wenying's words.
Ye Wenying had to regain his standing, especially since so many distinguished ladies and gentlemen were watching. If he were to be humiliated by Hao Jian in front of so many onlookers, the disgrace would follow him for life.
Hearing this, Hao Jian frowned and let out a bizarre laugh before saying, "If anyone close to me suffers even the slightest mishap, even just a minor cold, I'll make sure you can't walk out of Hua City!"
Meanwhile, Hao Jian took out his phone and called Spice Ginger, "Spice Ginger, from today onwards, keep a close eye on Ye Wenying for me. Don't just watch when he's eating or sleeping, but even when he's pleasuring himself behind others' backs—keep him under tight surveillance!"
Ye Wenying nearly spat blood at these words. Who the hell was pleasuring himself? This guy was too crude!
"If Ye Wenying dares to act rashly, take him out for me directly. Furthermore, without my permission, he is not allowed to leave Hua City!" As Hao Jian's voice fell, everyone involuntarily gasped. Was Ye Wenying really confined just like that?
At this moment, even Ye Wenying was dumbfounded. Had he come to Hua City to show Hao Jian a lesson, only to end up trapped himself?
Hao Jian looked at Ye Wenying with a derisive smile and said, "You made two very wrong decisions. First, you shouldn't have threatened people close to me, and second, you shouldn't have sought trouble with me in Hua City. Didn't you know that Hua City is my turf now? Dare to provoke me here, and you're asking for trouble—did your brain get squeezed by a door?"
Hao Jian completely put away his shameless façade, at this moment, standing proud and imperious like a sovereign, shocking everyone present.
Only then did they realize that they had underestimated Hao Jian. He was far more terrifying than they ever imagined.
Ye Wenying couldn't utter another word, having become a prisoner at the mercy of Hao Jian, and anything he would say would only invite further humiliation. Rather than continue to be insulted by Hao Jian, he chose silence.
But that didn't mean he accepted the situation. Right then, Ye Wenying's resentment could only be described as "tempestuous."
If he could have killed Hao Jian right then, Ye Wenying would have been willing to trade twenty years of his lifespan for such an opportunity.
"Hao Jian, shut your mouth!" Vivian scolded, unable to stand by idly as her master was humiliated.
"The one who should shut up is you, little girl. I spared your life last time, isn't that enough for you? If you dare to meddle again, I'll strip you naked right here and now and let every man in this room have his turn with you!" Hao Jian's eyes flashed dangerously.
"You!" Vivian's face turned red with anger at the despicable and shameless bastard.
"What's with that 'you'? You think I wouldn't dare to do it, huh?" Hao Jian glared coldly at Vivian, his demeanour radiating killing intent.
Then Vivian didn't dare to speak any further, uncertain if Hao Jian was joking.
However, whether Hao Jian was joking or not, he was capable of following through with his threat.
"It's just a banquet, no need for all of this," said Murong Qiushui, intervening in an attempt to smooth things over. She didn't care about Ye Wenying's fate, but she had her own reasons for attending the banquet, and if Hao Jian ruined it, her plans would be thwarted.
After all, Hao Jian had already insulted Ye Wenying, and in Murong Qiushui's opinion, that should have been enough.
"Just because you say it's unnecessary, it's unnecessary?" Hao Jian glared dissatisfied at Murong Qiushui. This was his turf; who was she to try and take control without his permission?
Everyone was stunned. Weren't Murong Qiushui and Hao Jian allies? Why would Hao Jian rebuke Murong Qiushui?
"I am part of your group, though!" Murong Qiushui retorted angrily at Hao Jian, wondering what the hell was wrong with this jerk.
"Who's part of your group? If you were really with me, why didn't you help me when he was bullying me just now?" Hao Jian pointed at Ye Wenying while speaking to Murong Qiushui and looked at her with contempt.
Ye Wenying felt like he was going to cough up blood. Who was bullying whom?
Murong Qiushui was flabbergasted. This guy must be picking a fight on purpose, right? How could she possibly join him against Ye Wenying? She wasn't just representing herself, but the Murong Family as well.
If she sided with Hao Jian against Ye Wenying, it would be like dragging the Murong Family into the conflict, making them a thorn in the Ye Family's side.

Hao Jian was too smart not to understand this.
"Didn't you say you wanted to recruit me? Well then, have your people take him down for me, and I will serve you!" Hao Jian pointed at Ye Wenying and spoke to Murong Qiushui.
"Hao Jian, don't be too excessive!" Bai Zihui rebuked coldly, seeing that Hao Jian was going too far.
There was no way that Murong Qiushui would directly eliminate Ye Wenying there and then, as that would lead the Murong Family into a full-blown death struggle with the Ye Family—Hao Jian's demand was utterly unreasonable.
"Excessive? You come to my territory and boss me around, and that's not excessive? Let me tell you, I'm sick of your arrogant, idiotic antics!" Hao Jian scoffed, deliberately glaring at Ye Wenying as he spoke.
Ye Wenying felt like vomiting blood. Was Hao Jian indirectly calling him an idiot?
"I order you all to leave Hua City within a short period, or else don't think of leaving at all. I'll tie all of you up and ransom you to the Ye Family and Murong Family!" Hao Jian was genuinely annoyed, as Murong Qiushui's repeated interference and consequently, Murong Yeyun's hostility towards him had soured his mood.
Now, with Ye Wenying bossing him around, did they really think Hao Jian was a pushover? His next step was to drive these nobles out of Hua City. If they didn't leave, they would never get the chance.
Upon hearing this, everyone was utterly flabbergasted. Was Hao Jian seriously considering kidnapping Murong Qiushui and others to blackmail the Ye Family and Murong Family? Was his audacity not a bit too outrageous?
Offending Ye Wenying wasn't enough; he seemed intent on antagonizing Murong Qiushui as well.
At that moment, Murong Qiushui opted for silence, yet her expression was icy cold, clearly in a foul mood.
She could see that Hao Jian wasn't joking; he truly detested them.
"You're seeking death!" Bai Zihui couldn't hold back any longer and, with a swift movement, her long and straight leg swept towards Hao Jian's face.
But Hao Jian frowned, his eyes emitting a cold glint, and he lashed out with a palm strike, sending Bai Zihui flying several meters away to crash into a table laden with snacks, overturning it.
Then Bai Zihui found herself covered in grease and wine, looking extremely disheveled.
With an impassive face, Hao Jian said, "This time is different from the last, and I am not Murong Yeyun, that idiot, so I won't show any mercy!"
With a dark expression, Bai Zihui stared at Hao Jian, remaining silent.
