Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 852 - 851: It Wasn't on Purpose!

"Boss! We can't find him! We suspect the intruder has already left our base!"

An hour later, Wales received this upsetting news from his subordinate, and in a fit of rage, he tore the documents in his hand to shreds and bellowed angrily at his subordinate.

"Gather all members in Los Angeles immediately. This time I want to see who dares to infiltrate the base of the Mercenary Alliance! I will show the world that no matter the size of our stronghold, it is not something common folk can provoke!"

"Coming and going as they please, that's simply not how things work at our Mercenary Alliance!"

Wales almost roared these words out. After he finished roaring, he still felt unable to vent his anger properly and in impatience, he waved his hand to dismiss the trembling subordinate.

"Beep beep beep..."

Just as he sent his subordinate away, his cellphone suddenly rang. Wales frowned slightly, then took out his phone. Upon seeing the code displayed, his expression relaxed a bit, and he quickly answered, "Mercenary Alliance's Los Angeles base..."

"Wales, it's me..."

As the voice came through, Wales's eyes narrowed instantly, and he then said, "Contact number 34?"

"Correct, but it's better if you just call me Bamboo Pole."

"What's the matter?"

Still fuming, Wales didn't care about 'Bamboo Pole' or '34', and bluntly asked with anger in his voice.

"Heh, seems like the doctor you were overseeing got rescued, really useless!"

Rather than a direct answer to his question, the response was a mockery, which inflamed Wales's already furious heart further, the suppressed roar of anger emanating from his mouth.

"If you're only here to mock me, then you've got the wrong person. Don't think just because you're our contact in Huaxia you can talk to me like this. With just one report to higher-ups from me, you wouldn't fare any better!"

"We're in the building at 184 Guangming Road. You better hurry, because I'm afraid we'll be gone by the time you arrive..." Bamboo Pole responded in such a way that Wales's eyes narrowed further, and he said in a calm tone, "Was it Huaxia's group that infiltrated this time?"

"I had no chance to contact you earlier; that explosion at your base just now must have been the time bomb I set. If I hadn't done that, you might still be unaware of the intrusion!"

"Nevermind that, was the intruder caught?"

"No, we never saw him and he's escaped..."

Wales frowned, wanting to capture the intruder, but the opponent was too cunning to leave traces of their escape.

"Trash!"

Upon hearing they hadn't caught Hao Jian on the spot, Bamboo Pole's face turned black as ink. He had witnessed Hao Jian's ferocity with his own eyes! Otherwise, he wouldn't have defected to Hao Jian as his first move in an attempt to reduce Hao Jian's suspicions about him...

He originally thought a time bomb would be enough to deal with him, but now Wales is saying he escaped? Moreover, without any intel on Hao Jian's status!

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. This call isn't encrypted and it might be monitored by your people. Don't contact me again until we deal with the organization you're in, especially because you are an important contact for the Mercenary Alliance in Huaxia... and also that family member..."

"Anyway, I'll try to cover for you in the ensuing matters. You all better come quickly, they're already packing up, preparing to evacuate. Make it fast!"

Bamboo Pole knew speaking further was dangerous, so without any more unnecessary words, after this sentence, he directly hung up the phone...

Meanwhile, at the base, Wales, after ending the call, angrily slammed his cellphone on the hard ground, growling, "Fuck! Just a contact person?! And he dares to order me around! My status in the Alliance is streets ahead of you mere contacts!"

"If it weren't for your current usefulness in recapturing the doctor for us, I, Wales, wouldn't even bother with you!"

After bellowing these words, Wales felt much better, and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly, "Everyone, assemble within five minutes, with your weapons! This mission only allows for success, not failure! Anyone who fails will have their bonus docked by 100,000! And for those with severe misdemeanors, death without mercy!"

All the mercenaries, upon hearing Wales's words, had a change in their facial expressions and dared not delay. Everyone sorted out their issues within three minutes, took up their most familiar weapons and ample ammunition, and assembled…

The deduction of their bonus was not their main concern; what they feared was the latter part, "death without mercy". The Mercenary Alliance always meant what they said about killing people. If you displease the boss, no matter how good your performance is, if he wants your life, you simply won't survive!

Thus, no mercenary dared to disobey Wales's orders...

While the mercenaries of the Mercenary Alliance at the Los Angeles base were ready and about to attack Hao Jian and his stronghold, Hao Jian and his crew were driving back to their base, arriving within half an hour.

Unaware that their base location had been exposed, as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw people packing up their belongings in an orderly manner and getting into the cars, causing them to be slightly startled.

They had only just discussed on the road that they should pack their things and prepare to leave the place, but did they really need to tidy up to such an extent? It was as if they were turning their fixed headquarters into a mobile one...

But the most important matter right now wasn't this; it was the incident this time that almost cost Hao Jian his life...

Therefore, as soon as Hao Jian entered the gate and swept his gaze around, he spotted where Bamboo Pole was. Immediately, he stormed toward Bamboo Pole with an imposing aura…

"Boss, you're back?"

Seeing Hao Jian appear, a glint flickered in Bamboo Pole's eyes, his face momentarily stiffening before quickly recovering. With a sleazy expression that he put on for everyone else, he gave Hao Jian a grin...

What greeted him, however, was not a smile from Hao Jian, but a massive fist...

"Bang!"

Approaching Bamboo Pole, Hao Jian didn't bother with pleasantries, but swung a punch directly at Bamboo Pole's stomach. The tremendous force instantly turned Bamboo Pole's complexion to the color of liver, blood spewing from his mouth as he was dragged across the ground for over ten meters until he finally stopped against a wall.

Seeing this sudden move by Hao Jian, the agents were dumbfounded for a moment, then quickly rushed over, intending to ask what had happened. However, just as they started to step forward, Lion and his two comrades suddenly stood in front of them, with a deep voice that made them dare not move.

"The boss is handling things; it's best you don't interfere. Otherwise, if something happens later, I can't guarantee your survival. Your immediate task is to pack up everything right now. After all, having rescued the doctor this time, the people from the Mercenary Alliance definitely won't let us off easily..."

"We must leave Los Angeles quickly, before those guys notice us. Otherwise, even with us and the boss, it's absolutely impossible for all of you to survive..."

"Lion is right. If you dare mess with my business now, I, Hao Jian, guarantee, you will lose your life immediately. Don't think for a moment that I, Hao Jian, won't do it..."

Hao Jian coldly glanced at them. Aside from Bamboo Pole, there could be other traitors among these people, but that wasn't something Hao Jian could concern himself with at the moment. Right now, he needed to deal with Bamboo Pole first...

"Boss… What did I do wrong?!"

Hit by Hao Jian's punch, Bamboo Pole instantly lost all strength, his mouth dripping with blood, his face pale, eyes filled with terror, he cried out.

Just a moment ago, if it weren't for his quick reaction, that punch might have meant he would never wake up again. But even so, taking a punch from Hao Jian head-on was more than Bamboo Pole could withstand.

"Was it you who triggered the time bomb?!"

Hao Jian coldly glanced at Bamboo Pole, sneered, and said, "I don't recall giving you the order to trigger the time bomb, did I?! If I hadn't reacted in time, perhaps I, Hao Jian, wouldn't be in this world anymore!"

"Since you want me dead, naturally, I can't leave you alive..."

Hao Jian at this moment, fueled by surging anger like never before, slowly walked over to Bamboo Pole, gradually lifting his foot, with Vigorous Qi swirling around it. If this foot were to come down, with Bamboo Pole's frailty, he would lose his life instantly...

"Boss! It really wasn't intentional, I swear!" At this critical moment, Bamboo Pole's mind raced, and he quickly found an excuse, saying, "It was a mishap! I really didn't mean it, the device is just too old and malfunctioned, otherwise, this would never have happened!"

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I, Bamboo Pole, can do. You can kill or maim me, do as you please!"
