Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 673 - 674 The God of Death is a Cheapskate
Pride felt that Hao Jian's words were somewhat strange, so he couldn't help but lower his head and ponder for a moment, then suddenly realized something and abruptly looked up at Hao Jian with a sense of panic in his eyes.
"Is it you?!"
On the other end of the walkie-talkie, everyone heard the fear in Pride's voice, all utterly puzzled. What had Pride discovered to be so shocked?
It was because he put together Hao Jian's appearance and build, and suddenly realized how extremely similar he was to that man.
If it was that man, then everything would make sense. Why Hao Jian was able to see through his tricks, why he was able to follow him so quietly, and then take him down with a single blow—it was all because he was that man.
When he arrived in Huaxia, he thought Hao Jian was already dead, but now it seemed that not only was he not dead, but he was also alive and well.

"You actually didn't die?" Pride was astounded. Hao Jian was not dead and had been hiding in Dragon Tooth all along?
"Dead? Does the God of Death die?" Hao Jian asked with a smile.
"Captain, what is the God of Death, and what exactly is Hao Jian talking about?" By that time, Yu Jiayi and the others had already met up with Moon Goddess Jiang, and they were all confused by what Hao Jian had said.
Moon Goddess Jiang's expression was grave as she said, "The God of Death is the Emperor of the entire Underworld, with power spread across five continents—a legendary figure."
"Are you saying that Hao Jian is the God of Death?" Yu Jiayi and the others were left dumbfounded. Did Hao Jian have such an identity?
"I don't know," Moon Goddess Jiang sighed. She wasn't sure, after all, because Hao Jian had been gone for so many years, and what had happened to him during this time was entirely unknown.
Moon Goddess Jiang realized that Hao Jian had unknowingly come a long way.
At that moment, Hao Jian seemed to have also realized that his words were heard by the people on the other end, so he quickly unclipped the walkie-talkie from his collar and then stepped on Pride's chest: "Now that you know my identity, you had better tell me where she is, or you should know that I have at least a thousand ways to make you wish you were dead."
In this world, some people are not afraid of death, but very few are not afraid of a fate worse than death.
Pride let out a strange laugh and said, "The Monarch will be very happy to know you're still alive!"
Hao Jian's face darkened, and he stepped on Pride's chest again: "Are you sure you want to waste time talking with me? If I don't get the answer I want within ten seconds, I'll make good on my promise and make you wish you were dead!"
"They are at XXX..." Pride said grimly, no longer daring to provoke Hao Jian, because he knew Hao Jian meant what he said.
With Hao Jian's identity, driving him to madness was not at all difficult.
"Thank you..." Hao Jian said with a playful smile, then tied Pride up against a water tower and took all the communication devices from him, before leaving him there with confidence.
This was to prevent Pride from sending any signals or leaking information; Hao Jian didn't want anyone to know he was in Hua City.
"What are you doing? Didn't you promise to let me go?" Pride realized something, his face turning green as he roared at Hao Jian, who was preparing to leave.
According to their previous agreement, Hao Jian should have killed him quickly, not to continue torturing him.
Now Hao Jian had left him bound here and taken all his communication devices, clearly planning to leave him trapped and tormented to death by the "Caterpillar."
Pride was in unbearable itching and praying for a quick death. He was furious at Hao Jian for breaking his promise.
"We are enemies, why would you believe the words of an enemy?" Hao Jian said with a smirk.
Pride's expression stiffened, and then he gritted his teeth with resentment: "As a Monarch, you actually break your promise? You're not fit to be a king!"
"Didn't Kazan tell you that the God of Death is actually a scumbag?" Hao Jian said, raising an eyebrow at Pride and then laughed heartily as he jumped off the building and swiftly left, light as a feather.
"Scumbag!" Pride also cursed viciously. This guy was truly a scumbag. He didn't care about royal dignity or the glory of the strong at all, completely shameless to the extreme.
....
"I already know Xiaolu's whereabouts. I'm going to find her now," Hao Jian said to the other end of the walkie-talkie.
"Where? We'll come to support you now!" Moon Goddess Jiang immediately said anxiously.
"No need, I can handle it alone," Hao Jian said lightly. "Wait for me at Dragon Tooth. I will bring Xiaolu back safely."
After hanging up the phone, a shadowy haze covered Hao Jian's eyes, his killing intent contained.
At that moment, an abandoned junkyard.
"Why hasn't Pride come back yet? He couldn't have been taken down, could he?" Gluttony, with a large belly, asked.
"Impossible. With Dragon Tooth's bunch of incompetents, they didn't even notice our simple tricks, with such meager skills, how could they hold on to him?" Envy said disdainfully.
"But I heard that Dragon Tooth's mysterious founder is quite powerful, and even Moon Goddess Jiang is his disciple."
"That person has never shown up. We don't even know if he exists. Maybe Dragon Tooth made him up just to boost their own prestige," Envy said with the same contempt, then turned to look at Jealousy: "Jealousy, didn't you go to the deal with Pride? How come you're back, but he isn't?"
"I don't know, perhaps because he got entangled with Dragon Tooth's people," Jealousy was also uncertain of the actual situation.
And just at this moment, a sudden knock came from outside.
All six of them were startled, exchanging wary glances.
"Who is it?" came an angry and solemn query.
"A depressed and sad handsome young man!" a very serious voice replied from outside the door.
Hearing this, the angry ones all had perplexed expressions, their wariness intensified. Could it be Dragon Tooth coming for them? Pride would never speak like that.
"Your name!" Anger asked, feeling annoyed as the other seemed to be playing with them.
"Hao Yingjun!" the voice outside answered again.
"Should be someone from Dragon Tooth, right?" Envy said, unsure. But even if it were someone from Dragon Tooth, they wouldn't knock so blatantly, right? Isn't this a bit too silly?
"Let's open the door and see first!" someone suggested.
And when they opened the door, they saw a young man standing at the entrance with a smug grin.
"Who are you looking for?" Anger glared at Hao Jian.
"I'm looking for my daughter," Hao Jian said with a squint and a smile.
Daughter?
At the mention, all six tensed up. Was this guy here for that little girl?
"What daughter, what are you talking about?" Anger pretended to be confused but also felt it unlikely. Even if they were to rescue, they would do it covertly. What did he mean by knocking and asking?
"The one about two or three years old, in a floral dress, with big eyes and a little mouth, very cute. She resembles me, so she's very pretty and easy to recognize," Hao Jian replied with a grin.
Hearing Hao Jian's description, the faces of Envy and the others darkened. This was definitely Xiaolu they were talking about; the man had come for her.
At this moment, Envy casually circled to Hao Jian's back while reaching for the sword at his waist, planning to ambush Hao Jian.
They had realized that this man was just here to mock them.
But Hao Jian acted as if he hadn't noticed, continuing, "The child is lost, and she must be frantic. You tell me, which bunch of bastards raised by bitches would be so shameless to lay hands on my daughter?"
The faces of Envy and the others went even darker. Was this guy beating around the bush?
And now Envy had drawn the blade, slowly approaching Hao Jian, ready to slash at his throat.
"Have any of you brothers seen those bastards raised by bitches? Seven in total, all in black robes, neither human nor ghost-like, the men sleazy, and the women ugly beyond compare. Hey! I feel like they look a bit like you guys!" Hao Jian exclaimed in surprise.
And Envy's blade was now less than a centimeter from Hao Jian's neck.
All of their eyes flashed with rage, itching to slaughter Hao Jian then and there for such hateful mockery, blatantly feigning ignorance while deriding them.
Envy's knife had appeared in front of Hao Jian's throat, and with just a gentle swipe, blood would spurt from Hao Jian's neck.
At that moment, however, Hao Jian still seemed oblivious, smirking, "If you see them, could you relay a message for us? They better release my daughter quickly. Do they have a death wish, daring to meddle with the God of Death's daughter?"
Bang!
As soon as Hao Jian finished speaking, a thunderous sound burst through the room, and all six Sins retreated, positioning themselves at various points, vigilantly watching Hao Jian.
Envy, who was about to strike, chose to abandon the idea upon hearing Hao Jian's words.
If the God of Death were so easy to kill, the rulers of the four forbidden areas wouldn't have let him escape unitedly. Such a man, she could not kill; she was well aware of her limitations.
Envy felt her actions had probably been anticipated by this man from the start. His final rebuke was likely meant to scare her off.
At this point, all six understood why Hao Jian dared to come for them so brazenly. It was because he had absolute confidence in his own strength.
These six individuals, among the strongest in the world, were filled with fear when facing Hao Jian, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Each of them looked grave and extremely frightened.
Hao Jian nonchalantly cleaned his ears, "Now, can you tell me where my daughter is?"
"You're not dead?" Envy exclaimed in shock. This man had actually been in Huaxia the whole time?
"Cut the crap," Hao Jian retorted, curling his lip. If I were dead, how could I appear here?
"Come on, tell me where my daughter is, and then I'll give you a quick death," Hao Jian said with a smile, as if he were talking about squashing an ant.
