Supremely Talented Tyrant

Hao Jian was speechless, his gaze strangely fixed on the crowd, "You haven't even looked into the background of Atama, and you want to go there to rescue the refugees?"

Cheng Weiwei and the others looked at each other but were at a loss for words.

Hao Jian sighed, waved at them, and said, "Come with me."

Cheng Weiwei and the others quickly followed. At that moment, Chu Zhixin was still scolding his bodyguard, but his eyes were filled with resentment when he looked at Hao Jian.

Because today, in front of Cheng Weiwei, whom he liked, Hao Jian had made him lose face completely.

Hao Jian hadn't taken them to go by plane; instead, he chose to smuggle into Atama. Brazenly entering Atama was likely to expose their target and could also lead to attacks; smuggling was the safest method.

By now, Hao Jian had changed into a black military uniform, yet his gear was simple: two revolvers holstered at his waist and two military sabers strapped to his thighs.

Even so, it was his appearance that made him look incredibly charismatic, his military essence completely undeniable, causing Cheng Weiwei's female team members to occasionally cast admiring glances at Hao Jian.

"What exactly is it for that you want to go to Atama?" Hao Jian asked the youths on the boat.

"To change the situation in Atama, to provide them with the needed help," Cheng Weiwei answered righteously, and her team members nodded in agreement.

"Did you bring guns?" Hao Jian asked with a sneer.

"We came for peace; how could we possibly bring guns?" Cheng Weiwei immediately retorted with displeasure.

At that, Hao Jian scoffed, "Then you can't change anything."

Cheng Weiwei and the others fell silent. There was a clear deeper meaning in Hao Jian's words.

"Hmph, people like you could never understand the greatness of our charity work. To you, probably all problems in the world could be solved with violence," Chu Zhixin mocked coldly.

"Not all problems in the world can be solved with violence, but most problems can be," Hao Jian said.

The expressions of the team members were bizarre, clearly indicating they did not agree with Hao Jian's statement.

Bang!!!

Just then, a sudden loud noise rang out. The boat Hao Jian and the others were on lost its balance, shaking violently, and eventually crashed harshly against a huge rock.

The front of the ship was completely smashed in, the whole body caving inward.

"Damn it! How did you navigate the boat!" Chu Zhixin cursed the boatman.

The boatman shook his severely pained head and after muttering a few words in Ataman, he jumped off the boat and fled.

In the distance, a military cruiser was rapidly approaching towards Hao Jian and his team.

Hao Jian's brows were deeply furrowed, and his expression grew grim.

"What's happening?" Cheng Weiwei hurriedly asked Hao Jian, sensing something was off.

"Atama Pirates," Hao Jian answered succinctly, but that single phrase made Cheng Weiwei and the others sharply inhale in shock.

"Don't be afraid, my mercenary group will protect your safety," Chu Zhixin saw his chance to make an impression and quickly pulled out the walkie-talkie to call the mercenary group, but there was no response.

"Damn it, have these bastards gone deaf? Didn't I tell them to keep close to us?" Chu Zhixin was furious as this messed up unexpectedly.

He had wanted to show off in front of Cheng Weiwei, but those idiots in the mercenary group weren't responding to him, severely ruining the atmosphere.

"They're not deaf; they are all already dead," Hao Jian said indifferently. Chu Zhixin's mercenary group had been following right behind them, and since these pirates also appeared behind them, if the mercenaries were alive, they should have reported something, but since they hadn't, there was only one explanation—those people were all dead.

"Impossible, my dad paid a heavy price to hire this mercenary group. How could they be so easily killed?" Chu Zhixin simply couldn't believe what Hao Jian was saying.

Hao Jian just shook his head, not wanting to waste words with Chu Zhixin, this fool, and commanded, "Everyone keep your heads down and stay silent. I'll negotiate with them."

When the pirates got closer, the leader, a skinny man with a scarred face, stepped onto Hao Jian's boat, menacingly throwing a bloody package down before them.

Suddenly, a human head appeared from within the package, causing all of Cheng Weiwei's girls to scream in fright, for the head was none other than Jason!

Hao Jian's guess had not been wrong; the mercenaries had indeed been killed by these pirates.

Chu Zhixin's face also turned pale, his mind blank for a moment.

Upon hearing Cheng Weiwei's terrified scream, the pirates all laughed proudly.

Only Scarface, with a sullen look, glared at Hao Jian and said in Ataman, "Did you not know that we pirates control this sea area? If you want to pass through here, you must pay tribute. You disrespect us like this; we will kill you all!"

"I have great respect for you, and we are willing to pay all our valuables," Hao Jian said, conceding, unwilling to cause further trouble.

"Boss, we've found a beauty here." Just then, a pirate suddenly grabbed Cheng Weiwei's hair, yanking her out of the crowd and dragging her towards Scarface.

Seeing this, Hao Jian's pupils shrank instantly.

"Weiwei!" Chu Zhixin exclaimed, but the moment he saw those pirates looking his way, his face turned pale as clay, and he lowered his head, too frightened to speak again.

Cheng Weiwei's eyes were brimming with tears as she cast a pitiful look at Hao Jian, pleading for him to save her.

Seeing Cheng Weiwei, even Scarface couldn't help but light up, a vile lust appearing on his face.

"We will give you all the money and goods, just return that woman to us!" Hao Jian said to Scarface, anger gradually showing on his face.

"We'll take the money and goods, and we want this woman too!" Scarface snarled, having never seen such a beautiful woman before, how could he possibly let her go easily.

Hao Jian's expression darkened, and he spoke no more.

"Hao Jian, save me, you promised my grandfather to protect me." Seeing that Hao Jian remained silent, Cheng Weiwei suddenly became terrified, her delicate body shaking violently. She knew all too well what fate awaited her if she was taken by these pirates.

The members of her group dared not make a sound, now realizing that provoking the other party could mean having to endure Lotus Seed Soup.

Hao Jian's gaze swiftly moved over all the pirates, silently counting their numbers.

The moment Cheng Weiwei was pushed into Scarface's embrace, Hao Jian drew his gun!

Bang, bang, bang.

The gunfire continued, Hao Jian's fingers repeatedly pulling the trigger. With every pull, another pirate fell into a pool of blood.

Soon, all the pirates were dead.

The crisis had been instantly averted, and everyone looked at Hao Jian with awe.

"Who told you to start killing? Who do you think you are? We came here for peace, and you've destroyed our original intent!" But seeing the danger averted, Chu Zhixin was the first to start yelling.

"Fuck!" Hao Jian finally couldn't hold back his anger, kicking Chu Zhixin in the chest, knocking him to the ground, and then stomping on Chu Zhixin's head: "You fucker, who do you think you are? Coming here for peace? Fuck your ancestors, can't even protect yourselves, yet you want to protect others? Where was this talk when you were scared out of your wits just now?"

Hao Jian suddenly pointed at Cheng Weiwei: "Do you know what would happen to her if those pirates took her back? They would **** her a hundred times, a thousand times, until she died! And you all. Ha, your heads would be chopped off and used as balls, and your bodies would be thrown in a pigpen to feed the pigs!"

"Kids, it's time to wake up. This is Atama, a human hell where every bush and tree is an enemy!"

At this point, the volunteers were pale as death, having realized through the recent events that they had underestimated everything.

They simply weren't mentally prepared to survive in a war-torn environment, and stepping into Atama had been a mistake from the start.

"Now, you choose whether to continue moving forward or to head back immediately," Hao Jian stated emotionlessly to the volunteers.

"I want to go home, I want to go home," a girl began to cry uncontrollably, her last line of mental defense utterly shattered.@@novelbin@@

No wonder, with over a dozen bodies lying on the ship, anyone would be frightened upon seeing them.

The expressions of the others were also conflicted, hesitating whether to leave.

"Keep moving forward!" Just then, a strong though not loud voice came through, Cheng Weiwei looking determinedly at Hao Jian.

"Weiwei, have you gone mad? You were almost taken by those pirates just now, are you not afraid?" Cheng Weiwei's group members could not comprehend her decision.

Cheng Weiwei managed a bitter smile: "It's precisely because we've experienced such things that we know how much the people of this country are suffering, right? They need us now, and we are already so close to them. Once we help them, we'll leave immediately. It won't take much time."

The volunteers sighed, no longer speaking, obviously agreeing with Cheng Weiwei's approach.

Cheng Weiwei then turned to Hao Jian: "Let him go, please?"

Hao Jian's foot moved off Chu Zhixin's face, but his threat remained: "You little clown, don't ever jump around in front of me again. Your life wasn't saved by God, but by me, and I can take it back at any moment, got it?"

Chu Zhixin, covering his face, somberly nodded.

Hao Jian spoke no more and stood up to check the bodies, only to discover one was missing: Scarface's body wasn't there.

Hao Jian's expression instantly turned sour, and the others also stared at him curiously.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Weiwei asked.

"That Scarface wasn't among them," Hao Jian said gravely, and then threw two handguns to Cheng Weiwei: "Wait here for me, I'll go after him."

"Just let him go, even if he goes for reinforcements now, he can't catch up to us, so why waste time?" said a girl, who after the recent events had come to view Hao Jian as their only pillar of support, and realized only he had the ability to save them.
