Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 446: I'll Hold Up the Sky When It Falls
As a member of the Kong family, he naturally knew who Hao Jian was, even Kong Xiaozhen had repeatedly faced setbacks at the hands of Hao Jian. And their Kong family had no means to deal with him at all, which clearly showed that Hao Jian was much stronger than Kong Xiaozhen.
This guy actually wanted to take him on? Why did he want to take him on?
Kong Xuanye felt vaguely uneasy now, if what Ma Zifeng said was true, then his situation was indeed dangerous.
"Why does he want to take me on?" Kong Xuanye asked Ma Zifeng nervously.
"Heh, have you forgotten what you did to a girl named Zhang Wenying?" Ma Zifeng mocked coldly, saying, "As the saying goes, what comes around goes around, which applies both in Jianghu and in love affairs."
Kong Xuanye had played with the emotions of so many girls, hurting so many of them, and now, he was about to pay the price for his actions.
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuanye's expression changed dramatically, finding it hard to believe that Hao Jian was actually standing up for Zhang Wenying? How could Zhang Wenying know Hao Jian? She had never mentioned it before!
If Kong Xuanye had known earlier that Zhang Wenying knew Hao Jian, he would never have messed with Zhang Wenying. Provoking Hao Jian over someone like Zhang Wenying was indeed unwise!
Seeing that Kong Xuanye was already in a state of panic, Ma Zifeng laughed coldly, "Kong Xuanye, you've picked the wrong person this time!"
"Call my cousin Kong Xiaozhen! Have him save me!" Kong Xuanye yelled out while being confronted by Ma Zifeng.
...
At this moment, Kong Xiaozhen was playing chess with Old Master Kong, but throughout, Kong Xiaozhen's brow was deeply furrowed, his expression filled with worry.
"General!"
Old Master Kong completely closed off all of Kong Xiaozhen's paths of retreat, checkmating him for the tenth time, including this instance.
And at this, Kong Xiaozhen seemed dazed, as if he had just awakened from a dream.
"I lost again." Kong Xiaozhen sighed, clearly disinterested, with no mood to continue playing.
Old Master Kong looked very kind on the surface, with a kindly face that could easily deceive people at first glance, making one forget that he was the formidable leader who had developed the Kong family into its current thriving state.
"Your mind is troubled!" Old Master Kong said with a shake of his head.
"Troubled?" Kong Xiaozhen frowned, not quite understanding the meaning behind his grandfather's words.
"You have lost to that boy too many times, becoming agitated and doubtful about whether you are truly his inferior, so your mind is troubled," Old Master Kong explained, neatly storing the chessboard back into the cabinet behind him.
"I haven't lost to him! He just got lucky!" Kong Xiaozhen stubbornly said, unable to accept that he could lose to Hao Jian. That guy was just lucky!
"Once might be luck, twice could be luck, but what about the third and fourth time? No one lives by luck alone, and the fact that this boy keeps humiliating you proves that he's not just lucky," Old Master Kong said, shaking his head with a smile.
"I'll defeat him!" Kong Xiaozhen stubbornly insisted, not heeding any advice. He knew his grandfather wanted him to be patient, but he could wait for anyone except Hao Jian. This man had left an indelible mark of humiliation in his heart, and not just once!
"Your mind is truly troubled! Haven't you realized that he's already affecting your emotions?" Old Master Kong sighed, feeling a bit disappointed by Kong Xiaozhen's behavior.
Kong Xiaozhen was the descendant he valued most, whose past performances had made him proud; only the aspect of enduring patience was where Kong Xiaozhen still fell short.
Kong Xiaozhen was upset, losing the interest to continue speaking and planned to get up and leave. But just then, a servant hurried in, exclaiming, "Sir, Kong Xuanye has been captured!"
Upon mentioning Kong Xuanye, Old Master Kong's brow imperceptibly furrowed. He clearly did not think highly of his grandson who was lazy and incompetent. He asked unhappily, "Captured? Who dares to capture him?"
Even though he did not like Kong Xuanye, Kong Xuanye still carried his blood, the root of the old Kong family; he could not neglect him.
"It's... Hao Jian's doing!" the servant said.
Hearing this, Kong Xiaozhen, who had originally planned to leave, sat back down. Because it involved Hao Jian, he couldn't ignore it.
Old Master Kong, noticing Kong Xiaozhen's reaction, frowned even deeper. Being overly concerned about your opponent is not a good thing, as it can lead to obsession and cause you to forget your own development.
If Kong Xiaozhen wanted to surpass Hao Jian now, he could only do so by becoming stronger.
"I'll go save Kong Xuanye!" Kong Xiaozhen said, standing up. Although he did not like Kong Xuanye, if the matter involved Hao Jian, it was a different matter altogether.
Old Master Kong did not want Kong Xiaozhen to go, believing that facing Hao Jian again would only lead to another failure.
But Kong Xiaozhen, without waiting for Old Master Kong to speak, had already left the Kong residence.
...
Ultimately, Kong Xuanye was taken to the police station, and on seeing him, Old Zhang and his wife looked at him with eyes full of hatred.
It was Kong Xuanye who almost drove Zhang Wenying to suicide—not only that, he felt no guilt about harming her and even had his men beat them both.
Both husband and wife harbored deep hatred toward this scoundrel.
Kong Xuanye never took them seriously, a sneer with a trace of scorn curling his lips.
"Are you Kong Xuanye?" Hao Jian looked at Kong Xuanye, disliking his careless demeanor. It seemed as if Kong Xuanye feared no one knew he was a spoiled rich kid.
Seeing Hao Jian, Kong Xuanye's expression became much more restrained, and he didn't dare to be as reckless as before, filled with contempt and provocation, but instead, his expression turned solemn.
"I am Kong Xuanye. Are you Hao Jian?"
"Yes, I am Hao Jian. Do you know why I asked to meet with you today?" Hao Jian asked with a smile, standing with his hands behind his back.
"You want to take revenge for Zhang Wenying? Please, I didn't even know she had anything to do with you. Besides, isn't she just a gold-digging green tea bitch? Does it have to go this far?" Kong Xuanye just couldn't understand why Hao Jian was troubling him for such a woman; wasn't this just looking for trouble?
"What if I say it does matter?" Hao Jian's gaze deepened as he walked toward Kong Xuanye.
Kong Xuanye stepped back in fear, but Ma Zifeng grabbed him. Knowing he had no way out, Kong Xuanye said in a panic, "She's just a woman!"
"To you, she's just a woman, but to others, she's their beloved!" Hao Jian reached out to touch Kong Xuanye's face, then suddenly seized his head and slammed it into his knee!
"Bang!"
Kong Xuanye's nose was immediately broken, and blood gushed out.
Kong Xuanye himself felt dizzy, seeing stars swirling as he fell to the ground.
Hao Jian patted Old Zhang's shoulder: "Don't just stand there. Now's the time for retribution!"
"Will this bring you trouble?" Old Zhang hesitated to ask. He wanted to deal with Kong Xuanye himself but had learned from Hao Jian that Kong Xuanye came from a powerful family, and he was worried that attacking Kong Xuanye might negatively affect Hao Jian.
"Afraid of what? I'll handle it even if the sky falls!" Hao Jian scoffed, slapping his chest.
Lin Nantian and Ma Zifeng couldn't help but give Kong Xuanye weird looks, believing that there was no way he was leaving the police station unscathed.
Emboldened, Old Zhang, along with his wife, roared and charged at Kong Xuanye!
"Wait a second..." Hao Jian suddenly shouted.
Old Zhang and his wife immediately stopped, looking at Hao Jian in astonishment, wondering if he was having second thoughts.
Hao Jian handed them two batons, saying irritably: "What good is using fists? Use these instead!"
"Hao Jian, screw you! I'll never let you go!" Kong Xuanye, seeing Hao Jian arm Old Zhang and his wife, exploded in rage.
Old Zhang and his wife, moved to tears, grasped the batons and vigorously swung at Kong Xuanye.
"Mr. Hao Jian, you mustn't kill him. If you kill him, we can't explain it to the Kong Family," Lin Nantian came over to remind him, knowing that if Hao Jian actually killed Kong Xuanye, the Kong Family would have every reason to retaliate.
"I'll take responsibility for any issues. Don't worry, I won't drag you down," Hao Jian ignored Lin Nantian's caution.
Since he had already decided to move against the Kong Family, killing one of its younger members didn't seem like a big deal to him.
Kong Xuanye was beaten to tears by Old Zhang and his wife under the batons, his head literally exploded, and blood furiously streamed.
No matter how much Kong Xuanye screamed, no one was there to help him, truly a situation with no escape route.
Hao Jian was determined to make him pay a heavy price. It was reasonable for he and Zhang Wenying to break up, as Zhang Wenying was materialistic and had fallen for his trap, but his actions of maliciously spreading photos of her after the breakup were immoral. You can be heartless, but you can't be scum!
So, in this life, it's best to make as few mistakes as possible because you never know which mistake you will never be able to bear.
"What exactly is going on here?" Just then, a cold voice came from the door.
Kong Xiaozhen had finally arrived, his gaze sharp as he stared at Hao Jian.
"Brother, save me..." Seeing Kong Xiaozhen, Kong Xuanye was so emotional he almost cried.
"Lin Nantian, you've got some nerve to even arrest my brother!" Kong Xiaozhen sneered, fixing his gaze on Lin Nantian because he knew these words wouldn't apply to Hao Jian.
Hao Jian, the rogue, didn't care whether the person he captured was his brother, so he directed his accusation at Lin Nantian. Since Lin Nantian had arrested Kong Xuanye, it meant he had sided with Hao Jian. Kong Xiaozhen was attacking Lin Nantian in front of Hao Jian to embarrass him!
