Supremely Talented Tyrant

"Click."

Hao Jian gently twisted Tucker's neck, and Tucker immediately stopped breathing.

Just at that moment, Tucker's phone rang. Hao Jian picked it up and answered the call.

On the other end, a man's authoritative voice came through, "Tucker, get the brothers ready immediately. A Huaxia person is interfering with our business. Once he shows up, kill on sight without discussion!"

"The Huaxia person you're talking about is me, right?" Hao Jian asked with a smile.

"You... Who are you? Where's Tucker?" Victor asked frantically, seemingly not expecting Hao Jian to act so quickly. He had just been notifying the branches after receiving a call from Li Mingxiong, but he didn't expect Hao Jian would show up in person.

"Tucker? Oh, they're already dead," Hao Jian replied with a smile.

Then, Victor on the other end fell silent.

Dead? But that place was guarded by more than twenty of his brothers, all armed!

"Victor, this is not over yet. I will let you know that this time, you've messed with the wrong person!"

After finishing his words, Hao Jian directly threw the phone on the ground and crushed it!

When Hao Jian walked out, Shu Ya hurried over, "How did it go, is Yuan Shanshan inside?"

Hao Jian sighed and shook his head, "She's already been taken away, and Victor wasn't there either. Now no one knows where Yuan Shanshan is; this lead is completely cut off."

"What should we do then?" Shu Ya became anxious upon hearing this. The only clue was gone; who else would know Yuan Shanshan's whereabouts?

"Don't hurry, we're going to visit a guest. I believe he should know where Li Mingxiong is," Hao Jian said, his face revealing a cunning smile.

Seeing Hao Jian's smile, Shu Ya was dumbfounded as well.

Half an hour later, Li Mingxiong received a tip and arrived at the scene, only to feel a chill at the sight of the corpses everywhere.

All this, done by that guy?

He could hardly imagine that Hao Jian killed so many people alone, and it seemed like he had left unscathed.

Li Mingxiong had to admit, the bloody scene truly terrified him. That person wasn't human at all, but the Devil!

One man rampaging through the Capital of France, making a fool of their French police, and challenging an entire nation alone!

That guy was like a ghost, elusive, and even with the entire French police force dispatched, they could not arrest him. Hao Jian's counter-surveillance skills had become so strong that they were eerily uncanny.

After leaving that branch, Li Mingxiong felt utterly overwhelmed, staggering towards his car.

"Captain, where are you going?" A policeman couldn't help but ask at that moment.

"Home," Li Mingxiong said weakly. He didn't want to go anywhere else right now but home.

"Home? What about the case..." The policeman was obviously confused. Li Mingxiong had always been in charge of this case, and it was he who insisted on arresting Hao Jian. But now Li Mingxiong said he was going home; are they not going to chase the murderer anymore?

Li Mingxiong waved his hand impatiently, "Leave this matter to you guys."

Li Mingxiong clearly didn't want to say more and drove off directly.

Li Mingxiong, exhausted, returned to his family home, only to smell the aroma of food as soon as he entered. He found it strange that dinner was being prepared so early today.

Just as his mother came out to take out the trash, Li Mingxiong couldn't help but ask, "Mom, why are you cooking so early today? It's only four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Your friend came over, and they said you were hungry, probably arriving soon," Li Mingxiong's mother said with a smile, "Mingxiong, it's been so long since you've been in France, and I've never seen you bring friends home for dinner. This is the first time."

Due to Li Mingxiong's special status and his association with criminal organizations like Victor's, he couldn't possibly have any real friends.

Therefore, Li Mingxiong was also taken aback by this statement; he had no friends, how could he possibly invite friends over for dinner?

"Where is he? Take me inside quickly!" Li Mingxiong panicked completely, because if he wasn't mistaken, it had to be Hao Jian inside.

Before going in, Li Mingxiong hastily sent a message to his subordinates, telling them to come over quickly.

As he entered, he saw it was indeed Hao Jian, who with Shu Ya, was sitting at the dining table with his father, sharing dinner. Hao Jian was gobbling down his food, not considering himself a stranger at all. Even when Li Mingxiong walked in, he only glanced up briefly before continuing to eat.

Li Mingxiong felt a chill throughout his body. Had that guy actually come to his door? What was he planning to do, kill him?

Seeing Li Mingxiong appear, Shu Ya was truly shocked. Hao Jian had told her earlier that Li Mingxiong would be home soon, and there he was, indeed having just come back.

Hao Jian had anticipated that after seeing Victor's branch wiped out, Li Mingxiong wouldn't be in the mood to carry on the investigation and had nowhere else to go but home.

So, Hao Jian waited for him at Li Mingxiong's house.

Everything was within Hao Jian's calculations.

"Why are you standing there, hurry up and wash your hands for dinner?" Li Mingxiong's mother, oblivious to the situation, hurried Li Mingxiong along.

"Okay, I'll go put away my clothes," Li Mingxiong pretended to say, then headed to his room. He pulled out the pistol hidden under his bed, tucked it behind his waist, and only then did he feel reassured enough to walk outside.

Sitting across from Hao Jian, Li Mingxiong absentmindedly ate his meal.

Facing such a murderer, he was on edge every single moment.

But Hao Jian acted as if he noticed nothing, continuing to devour his food voraciously.

His favorite thing to do was to torment other people mentally. The agony Li Mingxiong was going through was second only to that of Strong!

Because he didn't know whether Hao Jian would kill him, and if so, when it might happen. It was this uncertainty, this unknown, that filled him with the deepest unease.

"Um..." Suddenly, Hao Jian spoke.

These simple words scared Li Mingxiong so much that he leaped up, clumsily drawing his gun and pointing it at Hao Jian's forehead in a somewhat comical fashion.

"Put your hands on your head and raise them!" Li Mingxiong yelled in terror, his forehead dripping with sweat, completely panicked.

"Li Mingxiong, what are you doing? Is this how you treat a friend!" Li Mingxiong's parents scolded him urgently upon seeing him like this.

"They're not my friends, they're criminals!" Li Mingxiong yelled back without turning his head.

"What?" At his words, Li Mingxiong's parents were stunned, and then took several frightened steps back, looking at Hao Jian and his companion with suspicious eyes.

At this point, Hao Jian stopped playing the friend game. He leisurely wiped his mouth and then, with a smile, said, "Why can't you learn to behave? Do you think a gun is of any use against me?"

"Cut the crap, put your hands on your head!" Li Mingxiong bellowed. Although he also knew that Hao Jian wasn't afraid of firearms, he had no other choice. Rather than sit and wait for death, he'd rather fight to the death!

Li Mingxiong wanted to survive. Though everyone dies, he didn't want to die now!

"I can't do that right now, I can't put my hands up," Hao Jian shrugged innocently.

"Why?" Li Mingxiong was taken aback. Did Hao Jian have some untold difficulties?

"Because I just finished eating and don't want to move!" Hao Jian rubbed his belly and scoffed.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Li Mingxiong laughed angrily, turned off the safety on his pistol, and said ominously, "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

"If you want to kill me, why haven't you fired yet?" Hao Jian yawned.

Shu Ya was shocked at these words. Has this guy gone mad? Not only does he not try to stop him, he even dares to make snide comments?

Li Mingxiong was completely enraged and immediately pulled the trigger.

"Ah!" Shu Ya was so frightened that she crouched down, holding her head.

"Click, click..."

But Li Mingxiong's gun only made the sound of being empty. Li Mingxiong was dumbfounded. How could his gun be out of bullets? He was sure he had loaded it earlier.

With a sneer, Hao Jian spread his hand open, letting the brass-colored bullets fall one by one onto the table: "You call yourself a cop yet can't even tell the difference between a loaded gun and an empty one. I'm truly embarrassed for you."

Only then did Shu Ya finally realize, glaring at Hao Jian with a trace of reproach.

The bastard knew all along that Li Mingxiong's gun had no bullets and didn't bother to inform her, making her make a fool of herself in public.

Only then did Li Mingxiong realize that Hao Jian had tampered with his gun. He slumped into his chair, his face ashen, completely despairing.

It was at that moment Li Mingxiong realized how foolish it was to provoke Hao Jian.

He could have stayed completely out of it, as if he had nothing to do with the matter. Even if Hao Jian had investigated, he wouldn't have become his enemy.

But now it was too late for regrets; Hao Jian had already come knocking.

"What do you want?" Knowing he was on a path to certain death, Li Mingxiong didn't bother trying to resist any longer.

"Simple, Victor!" Hao Jian snapped his fingers, smiling.

At that, Li Mingxiong scoffed, shaking his head: "Do you think I would give him up? With Victor's methods, if I dare betray him, he would kill my whole family. Don't think I'm as worthless as Strong. You want to torture me? I'm not scared."

Li Mingxiong had already prepared himself for the inevitable torture. In terms of enduring torture, he was much better than Strong.

"Bang!"

Just then, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

Li Mingxiong's father fell to the ground, hit in the arm, crying out in pain on the floor.

Li Mingxiong's expression changed dramatically, and then he glared at Hao Jian, filled with resentment.

"What if I told you that I would kill your parents too?" Hao Jian toyed with a pistol in his hand, looking at Li Mingxiong with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Li Mingxiong's face completely darkened. Originally, he had held onto a sliver of hope that Hao Jian still had a conscience and would only kill him and not harm his parents.
