Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 1004 - 1003: Perhaps I Can Explain!

"Click..."

Sol's expression remained unmoved as he opened the Emerald. But when the Emerald expelled something, and he held onto it, staring at the empty box, his face suddenly changed drastically.

"The key is missing?!"

Seeing the empty interior, Sol's expression became less composed.

"How did you guys handle this?!"

Seeing the most important thing missing, Sol's immediate reaction was to look at Eddie.

Upon hearing this, cold sweat streamed down Eddie's forehead. He hadn't expected this result, and he hurriedly explained: "Boss, I don't know either. Since I took the gem from Akara, I haven't touched it. I really don't know how this happened..."

Listening to Eddie's explanation, Sol's expression grew even darker, his eyes revealing a fierce gleam, contemplating something unknown.

Without that key, he could no longer open his Treasure Vault, and the items inside were his most precious treasures!

Originally, he planned to pass them to his few inept children in his later years, but now it seemed there was no chance unless he could find the key. Otherwise, those treasures could only remain in the Treasure Vault...

Use force to crack it open?

That was simply impossible. Sol had planted a large pile of explosives around the Treasure Vault. If the method of opening was incorrect, what awaited would be the explosion of those explosives.

"There's definitely something amiss with this, investigate it immediately and clarify everything!"

Sol gave the order, his deep voice emitting from his mouth, icy cold.

"Yes!"

.........................................................

"Hao Jian, how did it go?"

Outside in the storm, Hao Jian returned to the hotel. Upon seeing Hao Jian open the door and come in, Shu Ya was full of curiosity. Seeing Hao Jian appear, her tense heart finally eased.

"Hehe, would anything unexpected happen when I handle things? Of course, it was resolved perfectly!"

He extended his hand, picking Shu Ya up, then carried her out of the room, chuckling softly: "Since the issue is resolved, then let's not stay in this rundown place."

If Hao Jian were alone, it wouldn't matter, but with Shu Ya by his side, he naturally couldn't let her endure hardship. And just as luck would have it, he had dealt with Old Uli and didn't need to worry about anyone coming after them anymore.

Then he checked out of the hotel room and accompanied Shu Ya to the pedestrian street to buy several sets of outfits, then found a hotel more upscale than the previous one, Leite Hotel.

A hotel incredibly close to five-stars, where all the decorative materials were according to five-star standards; aside from the personnel aspect not reaching five-star standards, everything else was of five-star standard.

And that's why it was said to be incredibly close to five-star.

He booked a Presidential Suite, staying at the price of fifty thousand US Dollars a night.

Casually tossing the purchased clothes onto the couch, Hao Jian picked up the remote control, turned on a local channel, and sat down.

Previously, he had left too hastily and hadn't taken all the luggage from the room, so he had to buy new clothes. As for turning on the TV, he wanted to know whether the issue with Uli had been successfully dealt with...

He flipped through several channels but found no news about Uli or Akara, and a slight curve tugged at the corners of his mouth.

His heart growing more certain, his plan had succeeded!

Then, he glanced at Shu Ya, who was full of疑惑, chuckled softly, saying: "Don't worry about Uli's business anymore; perhaps we won't be able to cooperate again."

"I'm heading out now to find you a new business partner; trust me, this partner will exceed your expectations..."

"Who is it?"

Upon hearing this, Shu Ya's face lit up with joy, but soon showed a hint of confusion. She didn't know Hao Jian had any acquaintances here...

Tossing the Emerald Key in his hand, Hao Jian squinted his eyes slightly, saying: "Sol..."

"Sol?!"

.........................................................

"Boss!"

While Sol was still troubled over his missing key, Eddie suddenly walked into the living room.

"What's the matter..."

Sol lifelessly lifted his head, glanced at Eddie, and asked.

"Someone from Huaxia's Shu Ya Group wants to see you..."

"Shu Ya Group?"

Upon hearing this, Sol slowly raised his head, his eyes suddenly glimmering, contemplating: "I don't recall receiving any messages from Shu Ya Group..."

The reputation of Shu Ya Group was not only prominent domestically but also abroad, especially in gemstone-producing places like Tanzania.

As a leader controlling gemstone resources in nearby countries, Sol certainly had heard of Shu Ya Group's reputation, whether in Huaxia or Shu Ya Group...

"Let him come in then..."

After thinking for a bit, Saul waved his hand to let Eddie go and bring the person in.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing, Eddie nodded, turned around, left the living room, and walked towards the main door.

"Mr. Eddie..."

Seeing Eddie coming over, Hao Jian also nodded, smiled slightly, and spoke in standard Swahili.

"Mr. Hao Jian, our boss invites you."

Regarding Hao Jian, Eddie didn't dare to offend too much, not only because of the dangerous aura he sensed from Hao Jian, but also due to Hao Jian's identity as the chairman of Shu Ya Group.

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian smiled slightly, stood up, followed behind Eddie, his lips occasionally moving as he asked some trivial questions.

Eddie was also happy to chat with Hao Jian, and unconsciously, the distance between them closed significantly.

Now that Uli is in trouble, Saul is the only one qualified to collaborate with Shu Ya Group, plus he still holds Saul's Treasure Vault key, it seems like this negotiation will be very interesting, right?

"You must be Mr. Saul, right?"

Approaching the living room, Hao Jian saw Saul sitting on the sofa with an expressionless face, he asked with a light smile.

"You must be Mr. Hao Jian?"

Upon seeing the visitor, Saul's old face revealed a slight smile, but whether it was due to his original nature or the issue of the lost Treasure Vault key, his smile looked quite weak.

"Nice to meet you, I am Hao Jian, the chairman of Shu Ya Group."

Since business needs to be discussed, it's necessary to pull both parties' identities closer; only by standing at the same level, the conversation will yield due respect.

If a person with no status comes, Saul wouldn't even glance at them, this isn't just about respect, but also about being disregarded!

Although Shu Ya is the apparent head of Shu Ya Group, insiders know that Hao Jian holds the majority of shares in this company.

But Hao Jian didn't intend to keep the shares, whether they belonged to him or Shu Ya, it wasn't much different, so he handed them all over to Shu Ya.

This way, Shu Ya's voice in the company can be said to be the most influential.

"I wonder what brings Mr. Hao Jian here this time?"

Pretending not to know!

Hearing Saul's question, four words flashed in Hao Jian's mind, but he didn't care and instead, smilingly took out some reprinted materials from his body, handed them to Saul, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Saul, please take a look at these materials first, then we can proceed with the next steps."

"Hmm..."

Saul casually took the document, flipped through a few pages without paying much attention...

With the key lost and no way to open the Treasure Vault, he hardly had the mind to consider these cooperation matters. Are these deals more important than the treasures he's accumulated over half of his life?

Letting Hao Jian in was just considering his status as Shu Ya Group's chairman, otherwise, he wouldn't bother.

Hao Jian was observing Saul, and seeing him casually flipping through the materials, his mouth curled into a smile, and he asked aloud.

"I see Mr. Saul seems somewhat distracted, is something wrong?"

"If Mr. Saul isn't interested, then no matter how much I say, it might be just wasted words, it won't help our cooperation at all..."

"Mr. Hao Jian, I'm not feeling well today, let's delay the cooperation details for a few days..."

Hearing Hao Jian's words, Saul raised his eyes slightly and waved powerlessly.

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian's expression didn't change, instead, he smiled lightly, flipped his hand, and an emerald gem key appeared in his palm.

A faint voice came from his mouth.

"I wonder if Mr. Saul is looking for this thing?"

"Hmm?!"

Upon hearing this, Saul slowly raised his head to look at Hao Jian's opened hand. When his gaze focused, his face changed dramatically, his eyes widened suddenly, and faint killing intent spread out from him.

And Eddie, who had been standing behind Saul, saw the key, his face immediately turned gloomy, his hand subtly reached into his pocket, placing it on the playing cards.

"You took it?!"

"Yes, that's right, I took it, but maybe I can explain."

Hao Jian shrugged, he knew long ago that showing this item would elicit such a reaction from Saul, but he didn't expect him to be so agitated.

"Also, you'd better remove your hand from your cards, otherwise, you'll come to understand the meaning of regret..."

With a faint glance at Eddie, Hao Jian was indifferent to their killing intent.
