Chapter 426 - 426 They Call Me God of Death
"Play. A toy? A pistol is just a toy to him?" Jiang Zhendong's mind went blank, and he didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment.
"Now, we need to settle some scores," Hao Jian said, smiling but not really smiling as he looked at Jiang Zhendong. Then, without warning, he grabbed Jiang's throat and hoisted him up.
"Boss!"
Seeing this, Jiang Zhendong's underlings came forward, hoping to save him.
Whoosh!
Hao Jian swiftly turned his head, his deep and fierce gaze instantly locking onto the gang members. Following that, they stood frozen in place as if struck by a Paralysis Spell, not daring to move.
Hao Jian's voice was low and deliberate, "Who comes forward, who dies!"
At that moment, he was truly furious. Jiang Zhendong had dared to lay hands on his woman and used him to coerce Ye Linglan into compliance. If he hadn't arrived in time, his head might have been green.
Since Jiang Zhendong had already planned on giving him a green hat, he was going to pay the price!
"You. You're not human," Jiang Zhendong gasped, his eyes fixed intently on Hao Jian even as he was choked.
Such dark and cold eyes could not possibly belong to a human.
From that look, Jiang Zhendong could almost see a vision of Hell.
"They all call me God of Death!" Hao Jian said, revealing a chilling smile.
Snap.
Jiang Zhendong's head tilted, and he immediately stopped breathing. The onlookers saw Jiang's neck eerily shrink to the size of a teacup as Hao Jian broke it with his bare hands.
Everyone's glance towards Hao Jian was filled with awe, as if they were looking at a devilish god.
Tonight, Hao Jian's arrival had completely twisted their values, leaving an indelible mark in their hearts.
"How long are you planning to stay here?" Hao Jian glanced at Ye Linglan, his expression still cold and lacking the expected comfort and tenderness.
Ye Linglan's face stiffened, at that moment she lacked any resemblance to the Violent Queen, resembling a little girl who had made a mistake, lowering her head and walking to Hao Jian's side.
Hao Jian merely glanced at Ye Linglan indifferently, then turned and left the nightclub.
At that moment, those students had already revered Hao Jian as a figure of authority and quickly followed in his steps.
On the street, nearly a hundred people calmly followed behind Hao Jian, a sight that looked quite spectacular as people occasionally threw strange looks towards him.
Ye Linglan and the others could see that Hao Jian was in a bad mood, so they dared not speak and just followed behind him.
As they were approaching the school gate, however, Hao Jian stopped walking, and everyone else halted as well.
Hao Jian turned around and quickly walked towards Ye Linglan. Just as she was wondering what he was about to do, Hao Jian reached out his hand.
"Slap!"
Instead of the expected warm embrace, it was a loud slap!
Ye Linglan's head jerked to one side, and she staggered, almost falling down. She was stunned since she couldn't understand why Hao Jian had hit her.
"What the hell are you doing?" Ye Chunliang saw his sister being hit and immediately became upset, storming towards Hao Jian. Although Hao Jian had saved them, it didn't mean he could do whatever he wanted!
Ye Chunliang grabbed Hao Jian's shoulder, but before he could react, Hao Jian suddenly turned and punched Ye Chunliang in the stomach.
"Wow."
Ye Chunliang immediately bent over and vomited blood, his body stiffening as he stayed in the posture of someone who had just been punched, unable to move.
"What do you think you are? Daring to meddle in my affairs?" Hao Jian slapped Ye Chunliang across the face, knocking him to the ground, limp.
Immediately, Hao Jian turned to look at Ye Linglan, his gaze cold and stern, "Know why I hit you?"
"Because I caused the deaths of those students," Linglan said in a low voice, her head bowed.
"Ha, it seems you're not as foolish as I thought," Hao Jian laughed bitterly in anger. "So, how do you plan to compensate their families? Give them a settlement?"
"I... I don't have any money," Linglan admitted guiltily. She understood what Hao Jian meant. Logically, she was supposed to be responsible, but the irony was she had no means to be responsible.
"How is that possible? Aren't you the gang leader? With so many underlings relying on you, how can you have no money?" Hao Jian scoffed coldly, his face full of indescribable disdain.
Linglan sighed, "I know you hate me, so it doesn't matter how you want to humiliate me."
"No, no, no, you've got it all wrong. I don't hate you; it's the families of the students you killed who hate you," Hao Jian said with a strange chuckle.
Linglan was petrified on the spot, not knowing how to respond.
Seeing that Linglan was silent, Hao Jian was unwilling to let her off, continuing to mock her coldly, "You think you're so great? You think running down streets with dual blades makes you awesome? You can't even protect your own people, what the hell kind of boss are you?" Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire
Suddenly, Hao Jian pointed at Chunliang, "And you! All brawn and no brains. If today you hadn't taken it upon yourself to bring so many people into a fight and had instead let me handle it, those students might not have died. It's you and your sister who caused their deaths, they believed in you, yet you killed them, you're even worse than Jiang Zhendong!"
Hearing this, even Chunliang, who had been looking angry, suddenly became stone-faced. He knew Hao Jian was telling the truth. With Hao Jian's capabilities, he might have been able to save Linglan without a single casualty, but he had overstepped, and those brothers died because of him.
So if Linglan deserves a beating, he deserves it even more!
"And you people, you had a peaceful life but you chose to follow gang life? Are you ****ing stupid? It's the twenty-first century, do you know it's a society governed by law now? Do you know about the state's zero tolerance policy against gang power? You try to act like slicing people up is smart? Are your brains not developed properly?" Hao Jian berated over a hundred people, but what really angered him was these guys.
They were all adults, yet so thoughtless. The world is full of people who yearn for stability but can't have it, yet these people had it and didn't cherish it.
"I think with all this energy, you should all go to Afghanistan or Syria! Go experience the local customs there!" Hao Jian said with a sneer. Only through experiencing brutal wars would these fools appreciate the value of a peaceful life.
At this moment, the students all hung their heads in shame, unable to meet Hao Jian's gaze or respond, their hearts a mix of emotions.
After lecturing them, Hao Jian turned his gaze back to Linglan. Seeing that Hao Jian was about to come at her again, Linglan quickly lowered her head in a panic, looking extremely uneasy.
"You think you can handle everything yourself? You've got guts, don't you? But in the end, isn't it your brothers who die for you? Linglan, let me tell you, the world isn't as simple as you think, it's not enough to be full of hot blood. Get rid of that underdeveloped brain of yours. I'm giving you three days to dissolve your so-called gang, otherwise, I'll do it for you! And if I have to step in, you won't even have a chance to regret it!"
Hearing Hao Jian's words, Linglan turned ashen, while her gang members stood around like statues. They had just witnessed how terrifying Hao Jian could be; even Jiang Zhendong had been killed by him. If Hao Jian really decided to go after them, they were doomed.
Hao Jian watched Linglan coldly and said, "Women should have the resolve to be women; squabbles and murder don't suit you. You. Take care of yourself!"
With that, Hao Jian no longer paid any attention to the stunned Linglan and turned to leave.
At this moment, Chunliang, clutching his abdomen, slowly walked towards Linglan and asked hesitantly, "Sis, are you... okay?"
Linglan shook her head, watching Hao Jian's departing figure, a bitter smile playing at her lips, "He's really angry this time."
"He's really scary when he's angry," Chunliang agreed, still shaken. Hao Jian had always acted like a joker, but Chunliang hadn't expected him to be this frightening when angered.
Hao Jian was really angry indeed, furious at Chunliang's recklessness and even more at Linglan's arrogance. Linglan had actually thought she could shoulder the whole situation herself, did he, as a man, need a woman to protect him? If so, what was the difference between him and a pretty boy?
To protect him, Linglan was even willing to sacrifice herself, which made Hao Jian feel deeply ashamed, as if his self-respect had been trampled. Therefore, he had to kill Jiang Zhendong, not killing him would not appease his hatred.
The next day, as scheduled, Linglan and Chunliang arrived at school. That night, they had dissolved all their gang influence, resolved to be normal university students.
But Hao Jian didn't show up for class, not on the first day, nor the second, nor even the third day.
Now, Linglan was truly panicking. She didn't know if Hao Jian had left because he was disappointed in her, so she frantically searched for him, but no one knew where he had gone.
From Du Yuelin, Linglan learned that Hao Jian's status was quite special; when he came to class and what classes he attended were all decided by his mood, and their college authorities had no say in it.
Thus, Linglan fell into despair.
.
Meanwhile, Hao Jian appeared inside Shu Ya Group, shooting the breeze with Heigui and the others.
"I was saying it's been a while since you've come around, we thought you'd forgotten about us," Tie Shan complained somewhat.
"What are you talking about? I could never forget you guys. It's just that I've been really busy lately, so I didn't have much time to come over," Hao Jian explained with a laugh, but noticing that Old Zhang wasn't there, he curiously asked, "Speaking of which, where's Old Zhang? Why haven't I seen him? It's rare that I come back, and he doesn't come out to greet me. Does he not consider me a brother?"
What do you think?
