Supremely Talented Tyrant

"Thank you!"

Raising his glass, Tie Shan toasted Hao Jian and then downed the two-ounce shot in one gulp, the redness in his already ruddy complexion intensified.

Tie Shan didn't know how to properly thank Hao Jian for helping him solve this issue. All he could think of was doing this.

This time, not only did Hao Jian help him, but he also got involved with those people, especially Zhang Xingyi.

Seeing this, Hao Jian shook his head and smiled, then picked up his glass from the table, tilted his head back, and drank it all. He casually tossed the glass onto the table, his eyes tightly fixed on Tie Shan.

Tie Shan was made somewhat flustered by Hao Jian's sudden silence and gaze. Even though he was a strapping man, he lacked confidence in front of Hao Jian.

"The Tie Shan I know is a real man!"

After a long while, Hao Jian sighed, looked at Tie Shan, and said, "If you have any difficulties, you can come to me, but with such a big problem, you didn't come to me. Do you not consider me a friend?!"

"If I hadn't come to the meeting today, perhaps I would have been kept in the dark by you. You're my friend, and I don't have many friends. You are very important to me."

"So..."

At this point, Hao Jian's eyes suddenly intensified as he stared at Tie Shan, slowly saying, "I don't want my friends to keep from me things that I can handle. As long as it's something I, Hao Jian, can solve, I'll help you even if it costs me everything!"

"No... I..."

When Hao Jian spoke, Tie Shan's face turned uncharacteristically red as he lowered his head, unwilling to meet Hao Jian's gaze. This time, he did not want to drag Hao Jian into it...

"Raise your head! Look at me!"

Seeing Tie Shan lower his head, Hao Jian's face darkened, and he said sternly, with a hint of anger, "I don't care what you're thinking or fearing right now, but I want to tell you! Tie Shan, you are a man! A true and upright man!"

"If you're a man and consider me a friend, then leave that place that doesn't belong to you! That place is not a home for you; it's hell!"

"I, Hao Jian, have no habit of watching my friends live in hell!"

With Hao Jian's harsh admonitions, a spark returned to Tie Shan's eyes, which finally burst into a dazzling light under Hao Jian's words.

"Are you my friend or not, Tie Shan!"

"Yes!"

A low growl erupted from Tie Shan's throat, echoing throughout the eatery, making Hao Jian smile. He wasn't disappointed by this guy after all.

"But... I... I want to leave... the money isn't repaid yet..."

However, after shouting, Tie Shan's face showed difficulty. If he could leave, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?

Hearing this, Hao Jian also smiled, then reached out and patted Tie Shan's shoulder, laughing, "How much do you need? I'll lend it to you. Whether you repay it or not is up to you, anyway, I don't mind."

Over the years, Tie Shan's family has repaid quite a bit. What remains may not even reach one million. This amount is barely a fraction of Hao Jian's wealth.

"Eighty-four thousand left..."

Upon hearing Hao Jian's words, Tie Shan answered without hesitation. It's better to owe Hao Jian than his uncle. As long as he works hard, he'll surely repay Hao Jian. Regardless of what Hao Jian said about not needing repayment, he has to repay.

"Come with me!"

Shaking his head, Hao Jian casually pulled out seven or eight red banknotes from his pocket, placing them on the table as payment for the meal. Seeing this, Tie Shan was about to ask Hao Jian to take the money back but, encountering Hao Jian's gaze, he had to close his mouth and followed Hao Jian.

This meal was supposed to be on him for inviting Hao Jian. How could he let Hao Jian pay? Even if he had to repay his uncle, he wasn't in such dire straits to need Hao Jian's money. But since Hao Jian insisted, he couldn't stop him.

After exiting the diner, Hao Jian made a call, asking Spice Ginger to bring over one million in cash. Seeing Tie Shan followed him out, he lifted his head and said, "Let's head to your uncle's place first. The money will be here soon. Prepare yourself to confront him."

It was late, and the banks were closed. He couldn't get cash even if he wanted to. Even if he went to an ATM, he might not be able to gather a million from it.

So, it was easier to have Spice Ginger bring it over, he wasn't in a rush.

Hearing Hao Jian's suggestion, Tie Shan nodded, leading Hao Jian towards his uncle's house, slowly walking ahead.

This street food stall is just twenty minutes away from Tie Shan's uncle's house. Walking over now, Spice Ginger should be arriving about the same time, and it's just right to hand him the money. Hao Jian decided not to drive away.

"Young Master Hao, here's one million."

When Hao Jian and his companion arrived at Tie Shan's uncle's doorstep, Spice Ginger emerged from a street corner, respectfully handed over a black bag containing one million to Hao Jian, and then left as per Hao Jian's indication.

Watching Spice Ginger leave, Hao Jian casually tossed the one million to Tie Shan and laughed, "Alright, now you have a million. Consider eight hundred and forty thousand as repaying your uncle, and keep the remaining sixteen thousand for living expenses. Don't argue with me; you have to accept it!"

"This... alright!"

Seeing Hao Jian's expression, Tie Shan swallowed the words stuck in his throat, held the bag, took out sixteen thousand, and handed it to Hao Jian to hold, before taking a deep breath and stepping towards the door.

This moment was what he thought about day and night. In the past, he didn't have the money to repay it all at once, but now, with Hao Jian's help, he had this chance.

He decided, after severing ties with his uncle, he would never set foot here again. He planned to use Hao Jian's sixteen thousand to make a name for himself outside.

As Tie Shan entered the door, Ma Xiaorong's family was busy inside. Their daughter had actually been beaten by Zhang Xingyi, seemingly due to some unspeakable matters. As Ma Xiaorong's father, Ma Fei's expression was extremely grim.

Over the years, he had struggled to connect with Zhang Xingyi's network, which was now ruined by his own daughter! What infuriated him even more was that all of this was because of Tie Shan!

"Bastard! That ungrateful wolf! I raised him for so many years, and he dares to do this to my precious daughter?!"

He threw the cigarette in his hand onto the ground and stomped on it furiously, shouting in anger, as he looked at Ma Xiaorong sitting on the chair with a swollen face, growing increasingly furious!

After all, Ma Xiaorong is Tie Shan's cousin, and that guy won't even speak up?!

"Father, you... you must show that wretch your strength!"

Ma Xiaorong sobbed, her voice filled with bitter resentment. If it weren't for Tie Shan, her issue today wouldn't have been exposed. Now, she must figure out a way to make Zhang Xingyi interested in her again!

"Don't worry! I'll make sure Tie Shan won't have it easy this time! He still owes me money! I'll definitely make him work for our family for a lifetime! As our family's dog!"

"With Tie Shan's earning ability, there's no way he can repay this debt even if he works his entire life!"

At this point, Ma Fei's expression improved a bit, and upon hearing her father's words, Ma Xiaorong felt it wasn't enough and immediately added, "Also, he mustn't be able to leave our family his entire life!"

"He can only be our dog!"

"That's right! We have to find a way to make him lose his job; that'd be even more secure!"

Upon hearing the conversation between father and daughter, Song Lian, who was applying medicine to her daughter, revealed a cruel smile on her old face and said, "Hubby, this ungrateful thing dares to treat our daughter like this; he can't be let off easily!"

"From now on, let him sleep on the balcony outside! Let him suffer morning sun and rain!"

"Yes!"

While the family of three was discussing how to torment Tie Shan in the hall, Tie Shan's figure appeared at the entrance.

Noticing someone at the entrance, Ma Fei immediately turned his head and saw Tie Shan. Anger surged on his face, and he roared at Tie Shan, "Dog thing! You ungrateful wolf! How dare you show your face here?!"

"Bastard! You... you made Brother Zhang dislike me! You dog thing, how will you compensate for this?!"

Seeing Tie Shan return, Ma Xiaorong's hatred-filled face turned into endless fury, glaring corrosively at Tie Shan, wishing she could kill him!

When Song Lian saw Tie Shan return, her expression worsened, pointing at Tie Shan and angrily shouted, "You... you ungrateful guy, we've been feeding you for so many years?!"

"Wasted food!"

Ma Fei roared, directly grabbed the feather duster for dusting on the table, and walked toward Tie Shan. This feather duster was used every time he saw Tie Shan unpleasantly; it was used to beat him!

Seeing this feather duster, a hint of fear instinctively flashed in Tie Shan's eyes; he hadn't forgotten how he once begged Ma Fei under this feather duster.

"Damn it, I'll show you how formidable Ma Fei can be now!"

Ma Fei dashed in front of Tie Shan, raised his hand, and swung the feather duster down on Tie Shan.

Seeing Ma Fei's grim face, Tie Shan's expression immediately turned cold. Since you have hit me with that thing for so many years, I'll collect the interest today!
