Supremely Talented Tyrant

```

Afterwards, those martial artists were soundly beaten by Li He, but even Li He didn't have it easy; he too was covered in bruises, blue and purple.

In the end, it was still Hao Jian who took care of all those guys.

"Burn this place down!" Hao Jian ordered, pointing at the City of Water Charm, addressing Kong Xiaozhen.

"No problem!" Kong Xiaozhen said with a smile, and then snapped his fingers. A group of people rushed in, some of them martial artists.

Hao Jian frowned, "You shameless scoundrel, did you have people arranged here in advance? And you still needed me to rescue you?"

Kong Xiaozhen just shrugged, not the least bit embarrassed, and responded, "Who knew whether you would come or not? If you didn't show up, I would still have to consider the safety of my men, right?"

"You're disgraceful!" Hao Jian cursed furiously.

Kong Xiaozhen just shrank his neck and didn't reply.

"Hao Jian, you can't do this, you mustn't!" Zhuang Kefan screamed out in agony. If the place was burned down, he would be finished.

"Ignore him, burn it!" ordered Hao Jian, his eyes filled with malice as he looked at Zhuang Kefan, "I think I already warned you before: don't get involved to avoid more trouble that you can't handle."

Kong Xiaozhen immediately instructed his men to start the fire, completely disregarding Zhuang Kefan's protests.

In an instant, the entire City of Water Charm was engulfed in a blazing inferno, with the fire consuming everything and turning it all to ashes.

Kong Xiaozhen and his crew didn't care about human lives at all, so they set the fire without any hesitation.

By then, Zhuang Kefan, realizing he couldn't stop Kong Xiaozhen and the others, could only run out of the City of Water Charm; he didn't want to be burned to death.

"Looking forward to our collaboration!" Hao Jian tossed a cigarette to Kong Xiaozhen, who was standing nearby.

Under normal circumstances, Kong Xiaozhen would never smoke a cigarette, as he only ever smoked cigars, considering cigarettes harmful to the health and low-class.

But at that moment, he craved the cigarette like never before, because it represented much more than just a cigarette – it was a sign of Hao Jian's esteem for him.

The deeds of Hao Jian and Kong Xiaozhen instantly sent shockwaves throughout Hua City.

Everyone was caught off guard by Kong Xiaozhen's heinous actions, shocked that he would dare to strike against Ye Wenying and even burn down her territory.

This wasn't just a provocation to Ye Wenying, but a challenge to the entire Ye Family.

......

The next day, Hao Jian went to class as usual. When school was dismissed, he saw Zhao Yating running towards him.

"Teacher, I have an audition in a bit, can you please come with me?" Zhao Yating asked.

"Audition? What audition?" Hao Jian appeared completely perplexed.

"Yesterday, Yating got scouted on the street. They said they want to make her a star and asked her to come for an audition today," a female student explained.

Hao Jian frowned and said, "Is that true? It's not some kind of scam, is it?"

"It's true, the scout is from Hongsheng Entertainment Company, very famous!" Zhao Yating replied directly, "And isn't that why I'm asking you to come with me? If you're there, even if they want to play tricks, it's not likely to happen!"

"But I don't have time tonight," Hao Jian said, dazedly. He had agreed to go to dinner with Su Xinya.

"Come on, please go with me. What if they are bad people? What will I do then?" Zhao Yating pleaded cutely.

"Then you can just not go, can't you?" Hao Jian said helplessly.

"But I do want to be a star!" Zhao Yating pouted, voicing her desire to try being a celebrity. Of course, it was merely because she found it fun and had nothing to do with vanity.

"Then why don't you just go to Su Xinya? Why all this trouble?" Hao Jian was somewhat speechless. Weren't Zhao Yating and Su Xinya friends?

"I don't want to get in through backdoor connections; I want to rely on my own talent," Zhao Yating stated. She knew that if she went to Su Xinya, she could quickly get what she wanted, but that would be meaningless.

Truth be told, with Zhao Yating's family wealth, if she wanted to become a star, it could happen in minutes. Her family could throw money at the situation, making her famous even if she wasn't skilled, but Zhao Yating didn't want to rely on her family, for that held no meaning to her.

Hao Jian sighed, feeling helpless, "Then I'll postpone tonight's dinner and accompany you this time."

"Yay!" Zhao Yating immediately cheered with excitement, shouting jubilantly.

"I'm going too!" At that moment, Che Xiaoxiao also stepped forward, saying coldly.

"Why are you going?" Zhao Yating eyed her with slight hostility.

```

Che Xiaoxiao curled her lips, saying, "So what? Who's to say they won't take a liking to me after I go?"

"You?" Zhao Yating scornfully curled her lips and then scrutinized Che Xiaoxiao's figure, "With your A-cup body, you think they would be interested in you? Impossible!"

"Zhao Yating, you asshole!" Che Xiaoxiao, grinding her teeth in anger, couldn't believe that Zhao Yating dared to point out her shortcomings.

"Alright, stop arguing. Just go!" Hao Jian didn't really care; after all, it was just to accompany someone for an audition.

Half an hour later, Hao Jian and Che Xiaoxiao appeared at the entrance of Hongsheng Entertainment Company.

At that moment, a middle-aged man with long hair, round-frame glasses, and a long coat, exuding an artist's vibe, came to greet them.

His name was Jiang Qihu, a talent scout for Hongsheng Company. It was he who had previously discovered Zhao Yating.

"Miss Zhao, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting here for a long time!" Jiang Qihu said with a smile plastered on his face, looking somewhat obsequious.

At this time, however, Hao Jian noticed that Jiang Qihu's eyes weren't quite right; while talking to Zhao Yating, his gaze kept drifting towards Zhao Yating's chest.

Intuition told Hao Jian that this Jiang Qihu was definitely no saint.

"Thank you for waiting, Mr. Jiang. Can we start now?" Zhao Yating asked.

"Of course, I'll take you to change clothes first. After you've changed, we can begin the audition immediately!" Jiang Qihu said excitedly, leading Zhao Yating inside.

"Hey, Hao Jian, why do I feel this Jiang Qihu is kind of lecherous?" Just then, Che Xiaoxiao walked over and elbowed Hao Jian, speaking up.

Clearly, Che Xiaoxiao had also noticed something amiss, which was not surprising, given that women are quite sensitive to the gaze of men.

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian looked at Che Xiaoxiao in surprise, "You noticed it too?"

"Huh? So you also think something is off with Jiang Qihu?" Che Xiaoxiao was taken aback, realizing Hao Jian had detected something improper as well.

"This guy has been staring at Zhao Yating's chest since they started talking. Plus, he looks pale with unsteady steps, which clearly shows he's debilitated from indulgence. How could I not notice?" Hao Jian said with a chuckle.

"Then, is Zhao Yating in danger?" Che Xiaoxiao immediately grew tense. Could this truly be just a trap?

"It's hard to say for now, but to be on the safe side, I'll make a phone call." Hao Jian took out his phone to call Yuan Shanshan, asking her to help investigate the background of Hongsheng Company and the identity of the real boss behind the scenes.

"Miss Zhao, you can try on the outfit here!" Jiang Qihu took Zhao Yating to a separate dressing room, instructing her to change there.

Zhao Yating was immediately puzzled, "Why do I have to change here? I clearly saw the dressing room over there earlier!"

Zhao Yating had seen other actors and models changing clothes together in the same dressing room on her way in. Why did she have to be in a separate one?

"This is to honor your prestigious identity and to show how much we value you," Jiang Qihu said with a smile, completely bluffing.

"Well... okay then." Zhao Yating, not suspicious, walked into the dressing room.

And the moment Zhao Yating closed the door, Jiang Qihu swallowed nervously and then rushed to a room not far away.

"How did it go, did you get it?" Jiang Qihu impatiently asked.

Inside, a bespectacled Fatty was sitting in front of a computer, his hair greasy and his body reeking of sweat, wearing a yellowed white shirt.

Upon hearing Jiang Qihu's question, the Fatty squeezed out a lewd smile, "No problem, it's crystal clear!"

On the computer screen in front of him, Zhao Yating was clearly captured. It turned out Jiang Qihu had already installed a camera in that dressing room, specifically to film women.

And at this moment, Zhao Yating was unsuspectingly taking off her clothes.

The Fatty's eyes gleamed with excitement as he whistled lightly, "Jiang Qihu, the chick you found this time ain't bad at all, great body. She's a freaking water buffalo!"

"Of course! I wandered around the streets for half a day before I settled on her. Let's film a video of her first, then think of ways to take her to bed!" Jiang Qihu hehe'd with a lewd laugh.

"I have a feeling this woman won't be easy!" Fatty said seriously, sensing that Zhao Yating wouldn't be so easy to meddle with.

"Pfft! These stupid women who dream of becoming stars and shooting to fame with one bang are the easiest to deceive. Just tell her you can make her a superstar, and she'll throw herself at you!" Jiang Qihu spoke contemptuously, then winked at the Fatty, "Just wait, after her audition today, I have ways to trick her into bed."

"Just don't forget about me after you're done!" The Fatty, ogling Zhao Yating, also couldn't help but swallow, his eyes fervent.

"Don't worry, you'll get your share!" Jiang Qihu laughed loudly, all the while attentively watching Zhao Yating undress, admiring her from time to time.

"I can't take it anymore! Let's do it!" In a sudden outcry, the Fatty, breathing rapidly, pulled down his pants and then began to take matters into his own hands.
