Supremely Talented Tyrant

Chapter 1981 - 2182: An Unexpected Turn of Events

"Yeah, I get it, but I just don't know if you actually have that kind of strength!" Hao Jian said.A kid who looked like a student actually dared to say that to Brother Rui. That was just totally not knowing how high the sky was or how thick the earth was. A lot of people present were in an uproar, and there was a wave of booing from below.

The manager heard this, anger on his face, but laughing in his heart. He was thinking, where the hell did this brainless brat come from, totally clueless about life and death, actually daring to say crap like that in front of Brother Rui. This was basically courting death.

Brother Rui's expression didn't change after hearing that line, but his anger was clearly showing. No matter what, he was someone who had already secured his footing in a big organization, but he never expected to get looked down on by some student punk today. If he didn't make this kid suffer a bit, how was he supposed to keep any authority in front of his underlings in the future?

He immediately burst out laughing and said, "Yo! Kid, your tone's pretty damn big. What's your name?"

"Hao Jian." Hao Jian replied, totally calm and unbothered.

Hearing that, the smile on Brother Rui's face grew even wider. Then he said, "Kid, I really admire your courage, actually daring to talk to me like that. But have you thought about what happens after you piss me off? You just want to put on a show in front of your female classmates, play the hero who saves the beauty. But have you thought about what the consequences are?"

Brother Rui's words were dripping with threat. The meaning was very clear—he was basically telling Hao Jian: kid, you just want to play hero, but whether you can actually pull it off is another story. If you offend me, don't even think about walking away from this so easily.

When Zhang Danlin heard this, her delicate brows knit together. She didn't know, like Hu Lai and Fatty did, how big a force the Axe Gang really was, but she understood well enough that it was something students like them absolutely couldn't afford to cross. She'd never once imagined what kind of outcome they'd face if they really offended them.

Now, hearing Brother Rui say that, her heart tightened all of a sudden, and she suddenly felt they'd been a bit impulsive. But when she saw Hao Jian's relaxed, unruffled expression, she didn't know why—she just trusted him that much. She felt he would definitely be able to handle this perfectly.

Hu Lai and Fatty were both looking worried as hell, while the other girls were all more or less scared and lacking confidence. The only one who was different was probably Liang Xiaohan, because she'd seen Hao Jian make a move more times than she could count and knew very clearly just how good his skills really were.

The other side only had six or seven people. Even if you added in the manager's guys, for Hao Jian it was still just a small side dish he could handle with ease. She believed in Hao Jian, knew his strength. Basically, as long as that confident smile was hanging off his lips, he was definitely going to clean this up perfectly.

Even though everyone had come out together on the weekend hoping to have fun, nobody wanted to run into something like this. But now that it had already happened, the only thing they could do was face it.

Hao Jian looked indifferent and asked, "Oh? That scary?"

His disdain made Brother Rui feel like his status was being challenged. Instantly, he felt he couldn't hold himself back anymore. His brow twitched and he shot a look at the little brother next to him. That underling understood right away what he wanted, immediately cracked his knuckles, and walked toward Hao Jian.

The manager saw this and knew some things were now unavoidable. He immediately threw a glance at his own men, and they promptly started pushing the onlookers back. Some people whipped out their phones to record video, but their phones were snatched away and they were stopped from filming.

At this point, stopping Brother Rui from doing anything was obviously impossible, so the only thing he could do was minimize the damage. That was why he had his people move so fast.

When Zhang Danlin saw this, she immediately grabbed Hao Jian, wanting him to step back and stop arguing with them. After all, no matter how you looked at it, Hao Jian was just a student, while the people opposite were gangsters who lived on the streets. Just from the vicious look on their faces, they weren't on the same level as Hao Jian. Now that she saw someone coming at him, of course she had to worry about his safety.

After all, she was the one who had called everyone out. If anything happened to anyone, there was no way she could wash her hands of it. Besides, when it came to Hao Jian, she naturally didn't want him to take even the tiniest bit of damage.

Hao Jian just smiled and moved her behind him.

Then that gangster walked up in front of him, staring at him with a vicious, savage expression on his face. He gave a laugh, the mocking, disdainful kind, then suddenly swung his fist straight at Hao Jian. In that instant, He Qiqi, Zhang Danlin, and Jiang Li all got so scared they slammed their eyes shut, not daring to look.

The onlookers all wore expressions like they couldn't bear to see what was about to happen.

But just as they were about to close their eyes and not look, all of a sudden they heard a loud "Bang!" In their minds, they'd already pictured Hao Jian getting knocked flat on the ground. But when they opened their eyes and looked, the scene in front of them scared them stupid on the spot.

"This…" They practically couldn't believe what they were seeing was real.

The one lying on the ground wasn't Hao Jian, but the guy who'd thrown the punch for Brother Rui. Some people had kept their eyes open and witnessed everything. At the exact moment that Brother Rui's guy made his move, they hadn't seen Hao Jian's actions clearly at all. All they knew was that Hao Jian had definitely struck, and then Brother Rui's underling's expression suddenly froze, his face twisted up, and in just that split second he hit the floor.

A student had actually dropped a grown man in an instant. How shocking was that? Everyone stared at the underling lying on the ground with looks of total disbelief, but with the man already laid out there, they had no choice but to accept what was right in front of their eyes.

And that wasn't even the really terrifying part. The terrifying part was that after being knocked face down by Hao Jian, the guy never moved again—he'd been punched straight into unconsciousness, and Hao Jian had only used a single move. Just think about it: one move, and a grown man who was way bulkier than him, a gangster no less, was lying there with no strength left to fight back. How fucking scary was that?

They didn't even dare imagine it.

Brother Rui stood there watching everything play out, completely stunned, his face full of shock. Everyone else who saw it was frozen too. The manager was just standing there dumbstruck, clearly still unable to believe what he was seeing was real. The only one whose expression looked normal was probably Liang Xiaohan, because she knew Hao Jian's strength. She knew that taking out one person was just a single-move thing for him, so she hadn't been worried from the beginning and had already known what the result would be.

Right then, Hao Jian smiled and said, "So weak."

That line was basically him publicly mocking Brother Rui. Just imagine—your own man gets dropped by a student with one punch, and then he calls him weak. What kind of feeling is that? Right now, that was exactly what Brother Rui was experiencing. He instantly exploded with rage.

He suddenly waved at the few guys behind him. There was no way he was letting this kid walk away fine today. If he let some little brat crush his momentum like that, how the hell was he supposed to keep mixing in this line of work? How was he supposed to respond when his brothers called him Brother Rui in the future?

In a fit of fury, he waved his hand, and the four or five guys standing behind him cracked their knuckles and all surged toward Hao Jian together. Today, they were going to make this clueless brat taste what happened when you got too cocky, and let him know exactly what regret felt like.

Four or five beefy gangsters going after one student—instantly, the onlookers all showed worried expressions. Hu Lai, Fatty, Zhang Danlin, and He Qiqi were the same. Sure, on campus they all knew Hao Jian had some skills, but even if he did, that was inside school.

At school he was just dealing with people his own age, but this was different. These were all gangsters who'd been mixing in society for years. They made their living licking blood off the blade's edge. No matter how skilled Hao Jian was, how could he possibly handle them? That was basically impossible.

Every one of them looked worried.

The four or five men had already walked up in front of Hao Jian, faces full of rage. If they didn't restore Brother Rui's face today, they'd have no face left to keep following him in the future.

In the next instant, the four or five of them all struck at Hao Jian at once.

The crowd had already shut their eyes, clearly not wanting to see that scene happen.

Or rather, they thought the reason Hao Jian had been able to drop that first guy earlier was his skill, but two fists can't beat four legs. With this many people now, how could he possibly handle them all by himself?

They really couldn't bear to watch.

But at the very instant some of them closed their eyes, the supposedly doomed Hao Jian was still standing right where he was. And when they opened their eyes and looked, those underlings of Brother Rui were all lying on the ground, rolling around and groaning in pain. Aside from the bright red palm prints on their faces, there were countless footprints stamped all over their bodies.

Everyone who saw this was completely dumbfounded.

They'd been shocked earlier, not expecting a kid to instantly drop a gangster.

Now they were beyond shocked—this was outright mind-blowing. Four or five gangsters couldn't even beat one student.

This… was just way too unexpected.
