Supremely Talented Tyrant

"Give it to me, what do I need these things for?" Duke Bartley chuckled helplessly.

"None of your business, just make sure they're disposed of," Hao Jian replied rudely, without giving the least bit of face to the Grand Duke.

"Alright then," Duke Bartley felt helpless but dared not show any dissatisfaction in front of Hao Jian; he carefully accepted the bag of hand grenades.

"Wife, I've taken care of it," Hao Jian turned around and said to Shu Ya with a grin on his face, "Can we go over now?"

To be honest, Shu Ya really didn't want to be with this guy at the moment, not because she was afraid of losing face, but because she feared the other guests wouldn't dare to speak with her after seeing Hao Jian.

The words "I am very frightened" seemed to be written on their faces without them having to say a word.

You jerk, causing trouble at the event is one thing, but scaring away her business opportunity is another.

"Let's go," Shu Ya replied reluctantly.

The trio then walked towards Rivettes, and at this moment, when the guests noticed Hao Jian approaching, they hurriedly scattered like a swarm of bees, like mice seeing a cat, leaving Rivettes alone there, stupefied.

Since Rivettes had just arrived, he had no idea what had happened and was surprised to see the venue in such a mess. He was about to ask someone what was going on when everyone ran off.

Rivettes glanced over, puzzled, only to see Hao Jian and the others approaching. When he saw Shu Ya and Bart together, his thick eyebrows slightly knit together.

Clearly, this was not the scene he hoped to witness.

Although with his status, he was not afraid of Bart, he naturally did not want to offend such a significant figure.

"Duke Bartley, it has been a while," Rivettes extended his hand politely, though his attitude was neither servile nor overbearing, with not a trace of flattery.

"Hello," Bart replied, extending his hand, but his demeanor remained cold. Even so, it was still a great honor; not many could expect Bart to offer his hand in greeting.

"You're Rivettes, right?" Hao Jian interjected at this moment, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Rivettes frowned in displeasure. He had been speaking with Bart and Hao Jian's interruption was quite impolite.

To those of their stature and position, such courtesies were deeply valued.

Rivettes cast an inquiring look at Bart, who slightly lifted his chin and said with a light smile, "I don't know him."

His meaning was clear: he wasn't responsible for Hao Jian's behavior.

Rivettes, of course, did not believe what Bart said. If he didn't know him, then why was he standing with him?

Out of politeness, Rivettes still answered Hao Jian's question, "Yes, I am Rivettes. Who are you?"

"I'm Hao Jian. You probably don't know who I am, but you should know her." Hao Jian pointed to Shu Ya beside him and proudly said, "She's my wife."

Rivettes looked at Shu Ya next to Hao Jian, and at this moment, Shu Ya seemed much more confident with Hao Jian by her side, meeting Rivettes' gaze calmly.

Rivettes immediately realized something and laughed coldly, "Do you think that by bringing your man here, I would be afraid of you? I've said before that under no circumstances will Huaxia brands be allowed onto Champs-Elysées!"

Rivettes was resolute, in his opinion, Shu Ya was bringing Hao Jian to pressure him, and he could also tell that Hao Jian probably had some connection with Bart, further leveraging Bart's influence.

With a scornful smile on his face, Rivettes admittedly did not want to offend Bart, but that didn't mean he couldn't!

"Why do you have to target us Huaxia people like this? What have we Huaxia people done to offend you?" Shu Ya was also furious; this was just unreasonable troublemaking with no justification.

"No reason. You Huaxia haven't offended me; I just simply dislike you. It's like some people are naturally averse to eating garlic. I just naturally dislike you Huaxia people," Rivettes sneered arrogantly.

"You're being completely unreasonable!" Shu Ya snarled, her eyes frosting over like glittering stars, resembling a spittling spore, wishing she could tear Rivettes apart.

"Yes, I am being unreasonable. So what are you going to do about it?" Rivettes sneered menacingly, looking like a cunning groundhog.

Rivettes regarded Shu Ya with the eyes of one who watches a loser, "You Huaxia people should stick to making your knock-offs. Don't even dream of advancing onto Champs-Elysées or hoping to secure a spot in the world of luxury goods! As long as I am here, it will never happen!"

"You... you're too much!" Shu Ya trembled with anger. If he had a rational basis for his actions, she would have willingly accepted it, but rejecting her purely based on personal preference was something she could not accept.

Seeing Rivettes's attitude, Bartley also became a bit angry, stepped forward ready to take up the fight for Shu Ya, of course, this was also for the sake of Hao Jian's face - otherwise, he couldn't be bothered to intervene in such a trivial matter.

"You say it's impossible and it's impossible? Who do you think you are?" Just at that moment, Hao Jian suddenly let out a laugh, as if he had heard the funniest joke.

At this moment, Hao Jian had a wildly arrogant smile on his face, making him seem somewhat sinister, with a pair of piercing eyes sharp as a blade.

When Bartley saw that Hao Jian had taken action, he stepped back, knowing that once Hao Jian made a move, there was no place for him to intervene.

"Do you really think you have a way to win against me?" Rivettes asked with a contemptuous attitude. The entire luxury goods sector in France had to give him face; without his permission, who the hell would dare to collaborate with Shu Ya?

Hao Jian raised three fingers and said with a faint smile, "Three days, all it takes is three days, and I will make every company, factory, and store of yours in Huaxia stop their production lines and work!"

"Just you? Aren't you afraid that bragging will make your tongue snap?" Rivettes was laughed at by Hao Jian's shamelessness. How dare this nobody, this Yellow Hair, spout such bold words when he, the leader of a commercial empire, should fear a threat from a junior?

Hao Jian said nothing more, letting out a cold laugh, then picked up his phone to make a call: "Old man, I'm butting heads with a dumbass, this dumbass is called Rivettes. Use all the connections you can to tear down his commercial empire in Huaxia."

The person on the other end, Xu Donghe, was silent for a moment before replying, "Leave it to me!"

He naturally recognized Rivettes, you could say, they were on the same level.

The difference was that Rivettes sold luxury goods, while he ran shopping malls, providing brands like those of Rivettes a platform for sales.

If Xu Donghe decided to kick Rivettes's brand out of his malls, then Rivettes would lose a significant portion of the Huaxia market.

Seeing how confidently Hao Jian made the call, Rivettes began to feel that something was amiss. Was he really making a call, or was this just an elaborate bluff?

After hanging up the call, Hao Jian looked at Rivettes with a mocking smile, "You won't let me enter the French market, then I'll make it so you can't stay in the Huaxia market! Rivettes, you should know we Huaxia people are the most famous luxury goods consumers in the world. We Huaxia people may not have much else, but we have money. If your brand is driven out of Huaxia, you will lose nearly half your revenue!"

Hao Jian's laugh was incredibly sarcastic: "I can afford not to make money in your place, but you can't afford not to come here and make money."

Rivettes's face immediately turned ugly because what Hao Jian was saying was the truth. He would rather give up half the world's market than the market here in Huaxia.

Huaxia, a vast country with a population of 1.3 billion, consumes more luxury goods annually than any other nation, and every year Rivettes earns a substantial profit from Huaxia.

If what Hao Jian was saying was true, then indeed he would lose a significant part of his market.

"Look down on our Huaxia, yet you want to make money here? Who do you think you are, Chapman To?" Hao Jian scoffed continuously.

"Pretentious, I'd like to see how you're going to make me unable to stay in Huaxia!" Rivettes snorted angrily, he just couldn't believe that this nobody could really collapse his commercial empire in Huaxia in just three days.

And just as he was saying this, Rivettes's phone rang. At this time, receiving a call was not at all welcomed. Before coming here, he'd instructed his staff that this meeting was very important to him and he should not be disturbed under any circumstances.

Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, his people wouldn't call him.

At this moment, Rivettes saw Hao Jian's mocking expression, as if he were signaling for him to answer the call.

Rivettes, quite annoyed, let out a scoff before answering the call: "What's the matter?"

"Chairman, there's trouble. East River Group intends to terminate their contract with our company and have our counters removed from all of East River Group's malls," a voice of a frantic female secretary came from the other end. Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire

"What?" Upon hearing this, Rivettes's expression drastically changed - how had everything come to this so quickly?

"Chairman, the person in charge of Galaxy Era Plaza wants to terminate our contract."

"Chairman..."

A successive barrage of over a dozen calls hit, leaving Rivettes completely flustered.

By this time, the look he gave Hao Jian was starting to change significantly - could this guy really be that influential, able to affect all his business arrangements with just one sentence? Who the hell was this person?

At this moment, Rivettes began to take Hao Jian seriously. Initially, he hadn't paid much attention to him. Although he appeared alongside Bartley, he had just considered Hao Jian to be someone like Bartley's lackey, but evidently, that wasn't the case.

Hao Jian didn't bother with him anymore, standing up once again, he raised three fingers: "Three days. In three days, I'll see to it that you're completely ousted from Huaxia!"
