Supremely Talented Tyrant

As Kong Xiaozhen slowly put on white gloves, his hand grasping a costly scepter, he walked into the venue with a leisurely grace, a faint smile eternally playing at his lips.

At the same time, another car procession brought a figure clad in a black suit and white scarf, his features proud and his brow bearing a hint of an imposing air.

"Liang Jiankun is here too?" A stir arose once more among the crowd. At this moment, everyone, regardless of gender, looked at Liang Jiankun with fearful eyes.

It wasn't because Liang Jiankun lacked good looks or charm to appeal to women, but because everyone in high society knew that he was ruthless and brutal. His past deeds had instilled enough fear that women didn't dare to approach him.

In their eyes, Liang Jiankun was a fierce monster, selective in his prey no one dared to entertain thoughts about him, in any aspect.

Unconcerned, Liang Jiankun walked into the venue with his head held high, his presence so commanding that many of the young talents present dared not even raise their heads.

"Have you arrived?" Kong Xiaozhen got two glasses of wine from a waiter and handed one to Liang Jiankun.

Liang Jiankun gave Kong Xiaozhen an indifferent glance and accepted the glass. Not everyone was privileged enough to offer him a drink, but Kong Xiaozhen happened to have that privilege.

"Out of the Four Young Masters of Hua City, it's just the two of us. It's quite lonely, isn't it?" Kong Xiaozhen teased.

"He Changhuan is abroad, and as for Baili Zhan, that idiot, do you really want to see him?" Liang Jiankun scoffed.

Among the younger generation of the He Family, there was no one capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Kong Xiaozhen and Liang Jiankun. Although He Changhuan was also among the Four Young Masters, he was almost forty years old, almost an elder compared to Kong Xiaozhen and Liang Jiankun. It's somewhat shameless to admit, but there's no help for it when the He Family lacks a standout youth to step up. Reluctantly, they had to put He Changhuan forward.

As for Baili Zhan, he was an oddity, the only one of the Four Young Masters who didn't act the part, a freak known as "the legendary useless man"!

Hearing Liang Jiankun speak this way, Kong Xiaozhen couldn't help but crack a smile, "Are you still holding a grudge over that time he got drunk and puked on you?"

At this, Liang Jiankun immediately shot Kong Xiaozhen a murderous look. That incident was an embarrassing blot on his life, and due to it, his hatred for number 4 was as strong as his resentment towards Hao Jian.

Kong Xiaozhen shrugged and said with a smile, "Don't look at me like that. Others may be afraid of you, but I am not."

Liang Jiankun's stature might intimidate others, but it had no effect on Kong Xiaozhen, who was also one of the Four Young Masters. This also highlighted that the relationship between the Four Young Masters was not exactly harmonious.

Liang Jiankun knew that Kong Xiaozhen wasn't afraid of him, so he just huffed displeasure and remained silent.

"Do you think he will come today?" Kong Xiaozhen asked with interest.

"Him? What qualification does he have to attend such a gathering?" Liang Jiankun sneered. He was well aware that Kong Xiaozhen was referring to Hao Jian. In his opinion, Hao Jian was just a bumpkin, clueless about business, and those gathered here were business elites and magnates. What qualification did Hao Jian have to come here? To humiliate himself? Everyone else would be discussing finance and corporate culture, what would he understand?

Just then, Hao Jian walked past, holding Shu Ya's hand.

Instantly, Liang Jiankun's brows twitched uncontrollably. This was an outright slap in the face.

"Look, isn't he here?" Kong Xiaozhen walked up to Liang Jiankun, chuckling, as his gaze, sharp as a viper's, locked onto Hao Jian.

Clearly, both men loathed Hao Jian to their very bones, still vividly remembering the events that had transpired.

For a Young Master held in such high regard, being publicly humiliated was an intolerable disgrace.

If you were to ask who hated Hao Jian the most in the world, undoubtedly it would be Kong Xiaozhen and Liang Jiankun.

"How does he have the gall to attend this kind of summit?" Liang Jiankun said with a murderous face, trembling all over. He and Hao Jian, appearing in the same place—what would people talk about?

They would say he was beaten by Hao Jian! They would say he was nothing but a loser beneath Hao Jian, claiming that the Four Young Masters of Hua City were worth less than nothing!

Hao Jian was his nemesis. If he hadn't shown up, nothing would be amiss, but here he was, showing up at the worst possible moment, humiliating him all over again in front of everyone.

"It must be because of his fiancee, I guess," Kong Xiaozhen conjectured and then instructed someone beside him, "Stop that kid."

"Stop him? You think these useless ones of yours can stop him?" Liang Jiankun said with disdain.

"We still have to try. Or would you rather just stand by and watch him walk all over our faces?" Kong Xiaozhen said with a dark smile, sipping from his glass. "I know the owner of Jinxiu Villa, and I believe he'll give me this face."

"Hello, I am a guest invited to the summit. My name is Shu Ya; would you mind checking my name on your list?" Shu Ya said to the middle-aged man who resembled a butler at the entrance.

The butler glanced at the names on the list, then nodded and made a welcoming gesture to Shu Ya and the others, "Please, this way!"

"You can enter, but they cannot!" However, just at that moment, a cold, mocking laugh came from not too far away.

Hao Jian and the others looked towards the direction of the voice, and immediately saw a middle-aged man in a tailcoat approaching, his hair somewhat gray and his figure slightly plump.

"Boss!" The housekeeper nodded slightly, his attitude very respectful.

"Hmm." The middle-aged man responded indifferently, a contemptuous gaze falling onto Hao Jian and his companions; he was none other than the owner of Jinxiu Villa, Lin Yuanhui.

Of course, he had come to stir up trouble, with the goal of preventing Hao Jian from smoothly entering the venue.

Hearing this, Shu Ya and the others couldn't help but frown, "Why not? It was clearly stated earlier that there was no restriction on bringing family members."

Shu Ya also felt something was amiss. Even the owner had come forward to stop them; wasn't this an exaggeration?

"Others may bring family, but you cannot," Lin Yuanhui said with a cold laugh.

"Why?" Shu Ya's voice began to turn icy. The other party was clearly picking a fight. Why could others bring family but not her?

At that moment, Hao Jian noticed Liang Jiankun and Kong Xiaozhen standing at a distant second floor. Liang Jiankun was staring at him coldly, while Kong Xiaozhen had a malicious look on her face.

In an instant, Hao Jian understood why he had been stopped, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a fierce arc.

"No reason. I just don't like the look of you, is that okay?" Lin Yuanhui sneered. Having offended someone they shouldn't have, they still ask why? Truly brain-dead.

Lin Yuanhui himself was a prominent figure in Hua City. Although he wasn't quite on par with Liang Jiankun and Kong Xiaozhen, he wasn't far behind, so he wasn't afraid of Hao Jian.

Moreover, today he was merely lending his house to an influential figure in the world of business, who had quite the clout on Wall Street. Now, all the business elites were gathered here to discuss world finance.

If Hao Jian dared to make trouble here, that person would certainly not let him off easily!@@novelbin@@

That influential figure wasn't like Liang Jiankun, just some young upstart. A sneeze from him could send tremors down Wall Street—a terrifying existence that could play with someone's life as if it were nothing.

"You..." Shu Ya stamped her foot in anger, also infuriated by Lin Yuanhui's shamelessness. At that moment, like Ruo Lan, both had flushed faces because all the surrounding people were looking at them with a mocking gaze.

"Well then, you can either come in by yourself, or you can scram with them. In any case, Lin Yuanhui's residence absolutely does not allow riffraff to enter!" Lin Yuanhui said with a spiteful expression.

"Who are you calling riffraff?" Ruo Lan also lost her temper. She hadn't done anything to provoke him—on what grounds was Lin Yuanhui verbally abusing them?

"Aren't you riffraff?" Lin Yuanhui looked at Ruo Lan and Tongtong with disdain, huffing, "Don't think you can change your nature just by putting on nice clothes. Your inherent lowliness is blatantly obvious, glancing around nervously, making noise wherever you step. Do you even know what elegance is? You're just like migrant workers entering the city, exuding such a wretched air!"

As these words were spoken, the nobles couldn't help but laugh mockingly, casting scornful looks at Ruo Lan and her daughter, with someone even jokingly asking if they had gotten lost.

"You...you are too much!" Ruo Lan pointed at Lin Yuanhui's nose, her whole body shaking with anger. Was she at fault for not knowing how to walk with the pretentious posturing of these high society frauds? Was there a need for such humiliation?

"So what if I'm too much? This is my place. You can enter if I say you can, and you must not if I say you can't. Bullying you? Are you even worthy?" Lin Yuanhui scoffed disdainfully, "Stop wasting words and get lost! Otherwise, I'll call security to throw you out!"

"This godforsaken place, not coming is just as well! Let's go!" Shu Ya, her face now also reddened, had suggested bringing Ruo Lan and her daughter. But as a result, she had inadvertently subjected them to such baseless humiliation, and she felt both furious and guilty.

Shu Ya turned and began to leave, while Lin Yuanhui merely watched her with a smile that was not a smile, his face bearing a look of scorn.

But just then, a lean and strong hand suddenly grabbed Shu Ya's arm, holding her back.

Shu Ya looked at the person beside her with a puzzled face, not understanding his intentions.

Hao Jian smiled slightly, calm and collected, "Now that we're here, where's the reason to go back?"

After all, it was his fault that Ruo Lan and her daughter were insulted by Lin Yuanhui. If he didn't get revenge, how could he face the mother and daughter?

"But..." Shu Ya began to speak but then stopped herself, because continuing would be too embarrassing. The other side had already made it clear they were not allowed in; wouldn't it be disgraceful to insist on barging in?

"There's nothing to 'but.' You go on in first. Trust me, in a little while, I'll have him begging me to enter!" Hao Jian said, the corner of his mouth twitching with a sharp smile.
