Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 843 - 842 Agreed...

"You are also coercing me!"

Hao Jian's face looked terrible as he least liked threats or coercion, but he was indeed torn under the present circumstances.

These people helped him get rid of those tails, and he should be grateful, though he didn't care much about that, and he wouldn't mind even if his tracks were exposed. But they had still done this for him.

Undeniably, they did that with their own objectives in mind, but at least for now, they hadn't caused him any harm.

And yet, they were using this matter to blackmail him.

He didn't know how to choose...

"Do you think I want to?! That female doctor is indispensable to us! If the research she holds is stolen by those illegal elements, the world will become even more chaotic! Even the countries already raging with war will witness even crueler outcomes."

Secretary Zhang's face was as dark as water; had the person refusing all along not been Hao Jian, he would have had Special Forces soldiers shoot him dead already. Why would there be time for all this emotional talk?!

Yet, he felt helpless inside—after having said all the nice words he could, the man before him was still like a rock, impervious to oil and salt, making such conversation terribly exhausting!

"After all, you haven't told me what this research is! Do you expect me to risk my life for some unknown project?!"

Hao Jian looked at Secretary Zhang with a sneer; his cold words caused Secretary Zhang's expression to fluctuate unpredictably, his eyes reflecting contemplation and struggle in Hao Jian's pupils.

"No comment..."

After much contemplation, Secretary Zhang let out an inward sigh and slowly delivered this response...

"In that case, I see no possibility of cooperation between us. If you want to leak that information, go ahead. I, Hao Jian, have never feared anything in my actions, and I am not afraid now!"

With that, Hao Jian went to open the car door, intending to get out, but just as he started to move, three guns simultaneously pointed at his head...

"Do you really want me to take care of you?" A faint voice came from Hao Jian, his icy aura instantly chilling everyone, turning their faces pale, rendering them unable to resist!

"Hao Jian!"

Secretary Zhang roared, then shook his head, waved at Hao Jian to catch his attention, and when Hao Jian's gaze turned over, Secretary Zhang made a few gestures and then stopped paying any attention to Hao Jian...

This...

Seeing the gestures made by Secretary Zhang, Hao Jian's face immediately froze, then his eyes suddenly shone with unlimited light. How could such a thing be possible?!

He was about to ask subconsciously only to hear Secretary Zhang's voice slowly coming through, calming his suddenly excited heart. At times like these, agitation was not advisable!

"Do you agree now?"

Secretary Zhang's eyes held a complex look. If it were not for the fact that only Hao Jian could accomplish this matter, he would not want to reveal such a secret. After all, the research in the woman doctor's possession was very important to the country; even individuals with a certain level of clearance were not qualified to know it.

Only those few standing at the pinnacle of the country had the privilege to be in the know. Yet now, someone had learned of this, causing the Mercenary Alliance to take away the female doctor at a high price.

And now, the only person able to undertake such a task was none other than the founder of Dragon Tooth, Hao Jian. Even if Hao Jian was the founder of Dragon Tooth, he wouldn't be privy to such information, but they had no choice now—a piece of news in exchange for Hao Jian's help. Perhaps even a minister would agree to it...

Thus, Secretary Zhang could only comfort himself in such a way...

"If I didn't agree, maybe I'd already be facing that person..."

Hearing this, Hao Jian also smiled wryly, spread his hands, and said, "Why didn't you say that earlier? Would I have needed to stand off against you here?"

This time, he felt like he couldn't walk away. He didn't believe it—if these people knew he was aware of such a secret and he didn't accept their request, they would not capture him...

Against the entire national machinery on his own, Hao Jian was not arrogant enough to contend. Since he couldn't, and he didn't want to be imprisoned, his only option was to agree...

If so, then let me, Hao Jian, see who from the Mercenary Alliance is carrying out this task...

Don't let me catch you, or I, Hao Jian, will not show any mercy...

"It's better for secrets of this magnitude to be known by as few people as possible. There are no secrets that can't get out in this world. If it weren't for the doctor's dire circumstances, even a minister wouldn't reveal such information to you."

Secretary Zhang pushed his glasses up, speaking indifferently, and then took out another document and a pen from his briefcase, handing them to Hao Jian, saying slowly, "This is a confidentiality agreement. This mission is of a confidential nature; I hope you will comply."

"Understood."

After taking the document, Hao Jian nodded, quickly flipped through it, found no issues, and then casually found a spot to sign his name.

This meant that Hao Jian had taken on such a task...

"When do we start?"

Returning the document to Secretary Zhang, Hao Jian also asked.

"Now..."

Filing away the document, Secretary Zhang pushed up his glasses and continued, "Just that you'll need to work with several people, from Divine Tiger, you should know..."

"Why them?"

Hao Jian furrowed his brows slightly; to tell the truth, he always operated solo on missions, and he was unaccustomed to suddenly including so many others.

You say you're adding people, I don't care, but the ones you are assigning me are from Divine Tiger, I'm just worried that the mission might not be accomplished, and instead, these guys will drag me down...

"There's no helping it, we thought the matter would be simple, so we planned to send the Divine Tiger team, but after receiving news that a powerful assassin from the Mercenary Alliance had surfaced..."

"We realized those from Divine Tiger would be no match for him, and that's when we thought of asking for your help. This time, going with them, you'll have the highest operational command authority. Therefore, you can rest assured about the operation."

"Even if you determine that these individuals might impede your mission, you have the authority to terminate them. I think that should be agreeable to you, right?"

Secretary Zhang glanced indifferently at Hao Jian; both he and the minister knew that Hao Jian was the sort who wouldn't bow to others, especially not to those from Divine Tiger. They were afraid that the guys from Divine Tiger would infuriate Hao Jian and jeopardize the mission, so they had no choice but to cast this "big role" onto Hao Jian's shoulders.

After all, the key to this mission lay with Hao Jian, while those from Divine Tiger were just there to help Hao Jian by dealing with the minor goons and saving him some time.

Both he and the minister were aware of this, but they simply did not state it out loud...

"You should know the characters of those from Divine Tiger. The minister has ordered that there be no mistakes on this mission. You know what to do, right?"

As the military zone drew closer, Secretary Zhang left Hao Jian with those words, prompting Hao Jian's eyes to slightly narrow before he let out a cold chuckle, saying, "As long as those guys don't provoke me, it's fine, otherwise I won't be responsible for killing them all if I have to..."

"Sigh, just try to keep it down, okay? After all, they are considered top talent, don't let them all perish unless absolutely necessary..."

Secretary Zhang let out a wry smile; the stakes of the sacrifice this time were indeed great.

"This time, you will be traveling on our minister's private plane. The mission location is in Los Angeles, America. There is a Mercenary Alliance stronghold there, the exact location will need to be found by relying on your own strength after you arrive there, as we do not have their precise address."

The vehicle drove slowly, an airplane bearing the national flag came into Hao Jian's view, while Secretary Zhang continued to instruct him on matters to take note of.

He certainly did not want any accidental oversight of his to be the cause of the mission's failure.

"Los Angeles, huh?"

His eyes shimmered slightly as Hao Jian murmured to himself. At this moment, the car came to a stop, he reached out to open the door and alighted.

A few figures stood under the airplane, scattered a few meters ahead of him...

"Those are the Divine Tiger members who will be going with you this time. The strongest among them is Lion, also known as Crippled Lion, I won't bother introducing the rest, I figure you're not interested in hearing about them."

Secretary Zhang also got out of the car and upon seeing Hao Jian sizing up the few silhouettes ahead, he slightly smiled, took out several files from his briefcase, handed them to Hao Jian, and said with a smile.

"Quite an arrogant person..."

After looking through the documents, Hao Jian reached such a conclusion...

"Where is it arrogance, it's outright conceit, we wouldn't want to use him if it weren't necessary..."

Upon hearing Hao Jian's conclusion, Secretary Zhang let out another wry smile.

"Haha! Just leave everything to me. In the end, they will surely follow me obediently, but as to whether they will end up missing arms or legs, I'm not sure..."

Hearing this, Hao Jian also laughed heartily, then tossed the documents back to Secretary Zhang, and with that, he strode towards the airplane...
