Chapter 1087: What Do I Have to Fear?
If it weren't for him, Zhang Xingyi wouldn't have come here, and he wouldn't have had hot soup splashed on him, so in the end, it's all Hao Jian's fault!
"Kid, I know your relationship with Yuan Shanshan. Don't think that this connection will make me let you go..."
Step by step, walking towards Hao Jian, Zhang Xingyi's face became more and more sinister. Looking at Hao Jian, he gave a cold smile and said, "Today, I'm going to show you my power!"
"You're just a guard dog, a mere driver, thinking that by climbing up to Yuan Shanshan, you can disregard everyone else!"
"Once I've dealt with you, I'll pursue Yuan Shanshan, then strip her in front of you, and let you hear your woman's moans real good!"
"Haha! Just thinking about that scene, I can't help myself!" As he spoke, Zhang Xingyi stared at Hao Jian and burst into laughter, his laugh filled with arrogance, saying: "Let you hear it every day, see it every day!"
"But before that, I have to cripple you first!"
Saying this, Zhang Xingyi grabbed the small knife and stabbed directly at Hao Jian!
Seeing this, Tie Shan's face changed, and some customers who were still there also displayed shock on their faces, regretting why they stayed out of curiosity?
If they hadn't stayed out of curiosity, they wouldn't have witnessed this situation. Zhang Xingyi had a certain status in Hua City after all!
"Watch out!"
Seeing the knife reaching Hao Jian, Tie Shan finally reacted and immediately shouted anxiously.
"Hehe, Tie Shan, just sit tight. Leave this to me."
Hao Jian nonchalantly looked at the knife-wielding and sinister-faced Zhang Xingyi. Despite the calm facade, there was visible anger in his eyes. This guy had truly infuriated him.
Yuan Shanshan and the beauties were his reverse scale. Now someone dared to threaten him using that, isn't that courting death?!
A dragon has a reverse scale; touching it brings fury!
"Zhang Xingyi, I hadn't planned on causing a scene with you. It's not because I fear you, but in my eyes, you're nothing more than an invisible ant!"
As his words fell, Hao Jian casually grabbed Zhang Xingyi's knife-holding hand and, amidst Zhang Xingyi's incredulous gaze, slapped the knife out of his hand, then grabbed it.
"Just a small knife. Back when I played with knives, you were probably still in some cesspool!"
Casually tossing the small knife in his hand, Hao Jian gave a faint glance at the completely shocked Zhang Xingyi, speaking in a plain tone, but those who knew him were aware that beneath the calm was unstoppable fury.
"You know what kind of person is the most despicable in this world?"
"What kind of person?"
Having his knife snatched away, Zhang Xingyi had yet to recover. Hearing Hao Jian's voice, he instinctively responded.
"Someone like you..."
As the voice fell, Zhang Xingyi snapped back, his face suddenly filled with anger, and he tried to shake off Hao Jian's hand. However, the scene that unfolded next widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Only to see that small knife made of Fine Steel, under Hao Jian's single-handed pressure, slowly bending. And when it reached a certain point, it finally gave a sorrowful wail, unable to bear the weight, and was snapped into two pieces by Hao Jian!
"This... this... how is it possible?!"
Lips trembling, Zhang Xingyi said incredulously, "This knife was made by my friend for me, crafted from hard Fine Steel, even a thousand-pound weight wouldn't bend it!"
"You... you... how did you do that?!"
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian sneered without answering, instead, fixing his gaze tightly on Zhang Xingyi, the coldness in his eyes growing stronger. He was contemplating whether to finish off Zhang Xingyi.
Only, if he were to finish this guy, Shu Ya would surely come running the next day asking what happened, after all, they were all employees of his group.
Not only Zhang Xingyi, but everyone present, including Tie Shan, was utterly shocked, subsequently looking at Hao Jian as if he were some kind of monster.
This guy's strength, how is it so powerful?!
"Bang!"
Hao Jian didn't give them time to be shocked. He kicked Zhang Xingyi in the stomach, knocking him to the ground, then placed a foot on him, preventing him from getting up.
"Tell me, if I deal with you now, will anything happen?"
Casually tossing the broken knife aside, such things made from fine steel just need to find their weak spot, and with a certain amount of force, they can be snapped. It didn't require the over a thousand pounds of grip strength that Zhang Xingyi mentioned.
However, the required force is definitely not weak. At least, besides Hao Jian, only those international strongmen could manage it. But who could imagine that such immense strength was hidden within this frail body?
"Kid, how dare you?!"
Hao Jian was stepping on their young master, causing the bodyguards to give up attacking Ma Xiaorong and turn their gazes towards Hao Jian, their expressions unfriendly, yet with a faint hint of fear.
Even their strength wasn't enough to snap a knife made of fine steel like this, and they even struggled with an ordinary fruit knife.
"Oh? What wouldn't I dare?"
Smiling amiably at the bodyguards, Hao Jian then looked down at Zhang Xingyi, his mouth curving into a smile as he looked at Zhang Xingyi.
Seeing this smile, Zhang Xingyi's face turned grim. Although his body was weak, and normally anyone could hit him, but this guy actually dared to hit him?!
"Kid, you..."
Zhang Xingyi was enraged, wanting to curse Hao Jian so that he would release him immediately. But just as he opened his mouth, Hao Jian's hand, moving with lightning speed, grabbed a pair of chopsticks from the table and clamped down on Zhang Xingyi's tongue before he could close his mouth.
"I really dislike people uttering curses under my foot, and I definitely don't like hearing your foul words!" With eyes narrowed, Hao Jian looked at Zhang Xingyi, a smile hanging on his lips. But for Zhang Xingyi, this smile appeared extraordinarily terrifying, even more frightening than the God of Death.
But with his tongue clamped, he couldn't speak, only managing some indistinct sounds. His bodyguards saw his predicament, their expressions grim, yet none dared to step forward. Their young master was in this guy's grip, and they couldn't afford the consequences of acting rashly.
Hao Jian looked menacingly at Zhang Xingyi, holding his tongue with the chopsticks, and said sinisterly, "Tell me, if I cut off this tongue of yours, will you still be able to speak?"
"Mmm... mmm..."
Upon hearing Hao Jian's words, cold sweat broke out on Zhang Xingyi's forehead. If his tongue were cut off, he wouldn't be able to speak either, which would be as good as killing him!
"Haha, seems you're scared too."
Hao Jian laughed loudly, chuckling, "If you dare curse in front of me again, you won't need your tongue anymore!"
"Believe me, I can do it!"
With eyes faintly glancing at Zhang Xingyi, Hao Jian then grinned and lowered his head, "Of course, if you want to curse more now, you can, though I'll just cut off your tongue right now. What do you say?"
Grinning, Hao Jian seemed approachable if not for the previous words that gave away how terrifying he really was.
But to Zhang Xingyi's ears, Hao Jian's voice was almost identical to that of the Black and White Impermanence, indicating that Hao Jian truly dared to act.
"Mmm... mmm..."
Unfortunately, with his tongue clamped, Zhang Xingyi couldn't speak, only managing muffled sounds, but his frightened eyes clearly showed his fear.
How could this person be so terrifying? Wasn't he just a lowly driver?!
"Hehe!"
Seeing this, Hao Jian sneered coldly and then kicked Zhang Xingyi away, sending him flying before landing in front of his bodyguards. The bodyguards hurriedly but cautiously helped Zhang Xingyi up, warily eyeing Hao Jian, afraid he might make a move and grab their young master again.
At this point, Hao Jian slowly spoke, his voice cold and full of menace, "I'll let you off today. If you appear before me again, you'll learn what the most terrifying thing in this world truly is!"
"Kid... you..."
There had always been instances where others would avoid him, but now, Hao Jian was telling him not to appear again in front of him. Didn't this mean he couldn't stay in Hua City anymore?!
"Hmm?"
Just as Zhang Xingyi began to speak, Hao Jian's icy eyes suddenly narrowed, casting a glance at Zhang Xingyi before turning away.
"Hmph! Let's go!"
Startled by Hao Jian's glance, Zhang Xingyi's face changed repeatedly. Eventually, he swung his arm forcefully, leaving with his bodyguards. Before leaving, he ordered them to carry Ma Xiaorong away; this woman hadn't been punished enough, he thought!
What angered him most was Hao Jian's attitude. This guy was just a lowly driver and security guard, yet he dared treat him this way?!
Giving the food stall one last deep look, Zhang Xingyi left with his bodyguards. But as he turned a corner, seemingly too tense, he ran right into a utility pole, seeing stars from the impact.
Seeing Zhang Xingyi and his people leave dejectedly, everyone at the food stall sighed with relief, realizing there wouldn't be any more trouble. As Tie Shan watched them leave, he felt immensely relieved; it had been a long time since he felt this free!
He didn't forget who caused this scene. Immediately, he poured two glasses of wine, handing one to Hao Jian and keeping one for himself...
