Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 870 - 869: Poison!

"Haha, it seems Uncle has really put a lot of thought into this meal!"

Having reached a conclusion, Hao Jian stood up with a sneer, looking at Xia Tianjia with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. Now that this guy had threatened the safety of those close to him, there was absolutely no room to let him off the hook!

Even if he was coerced by those people from that place, there was no mercy to be had!

"You poor boy, my father has put aside previous grievances to buy you food, what do you mean by this?!" Xia Yuanlai was the first to feel displeased by Hao Jian's words. He hadn't forgotten what Hao Jian did to him at noon today. His feet were still faintly in pain — how could he forget such a grudge?!

"Eh, Yuanlai, your dad here is a broad-minded person, won't fuss too much about it, and you should learn more from me. In the future, remember to be more broad-minded too when you're out."

Xia Tianjia just shook his head, uttering words that even his own wife would not believe.

"Hao Jian, what's the matter?"

Yuan Shanshan looked curiously at Hao Jian as he stood up. Normally, if nothing was wrong, Hao Jian would not take the initiative to trouble others. Now it seemed that there must be something going on.

"In any case, don't touch the food on this table, or else if something happens later, I won't be able to save you!" Hao Jian did not directly answer Yuan Shanshan's question but said it half-jokingly instead.

Since he had recognized the Poison, naturally, he had a way to detoxify it.

"A problem?!"

Yuan Zhibang's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly glared at Xia Tianjia with a cold gaze, barking out, "Bastard, what exactly have you put in the food?!"

The angry roar completely shattered the original calm.

Luckily they hadn't touched the dishes yet, or else wouldn't unknown consequences have occurred? What made Yuan Zhibang even angrier was his uncle's complete disregard for familial ties and their safety. How could he treat them this way?!

"Xia Tianjia, I think you'd better give me an explanation!"

Yuan Shanshan's mother could no longer hold back her anger. Although she wasn't sure what was wrong with the dishes, she still chose to believe Hao Jian's words.

"Haha?! I have to explain?! Explain what?! I demand an explanation from you, this pauper actually doubts my kindness?!"

Xia Tianjia's face was especially ugly, not only because Hao Jian had seen through his ploy but also because of the mistrust from Yuan Shanshan and the others. Why should everyone believe this pauper?!

"All these dishes were obtained from a friend's restaurant. From the selection of ingredients to the final preparation, I have watched over everything! I was thinking of making amends, but now, look for yourselves. This kid hasn't even tasted the food and directly accuses my dishes of being problematic!"

The anger-filled roar kept bellowing from Xia Tianjia, making Yuan Shanshan's mother's face appear hesitant, as if she was slightly convinced by Xia Tianjia's words. She looked at Hao Jian and hesitantly said, "Hao Jian, maybe your Uncle Xia really did want to prepare a good meal to apologize?"

"Auntie, don't be fooled by this guy's appearances, just leave it to me. I'll handle it," Hao Jian gently shook his head, and then asked Yuan Shanshan to help him out. He didn't want Auntie to say anything to stop him when he was dealing with Xia Tianjia.

"Kid! Shut your mouth! If you don't want to eat, just get lost, nobody is forcing you to eat!" Xia Tianjia's temper flared too, angrily waving his hand and then roaring, "You pauper, this meal cost me nearly ten thousand yuan. If you don't eat, I'll save money!"

"Only ten thousand yuan?"

Hao Jian let out a snort of derision. With his status, just a bottle of wine at dinner would cost at least a hundred thousand yuan. A meal under a hundred thousand hadn't been seen in recent days — of course, that excluded those involving women.

"You pauper, you've never had such a precious meal before, have you?!" Xia Yuanlai, hearing Hao Jian's disdainful words, also looked rather displeased. How could such a pauper have the audacity to ridicule their costly meal?!

"I can't be bothered to say much to you. I'm giving you a choice: either dump all these dishes and I'll ask Auntie to cook again, or just wait for your death..."

If it wasn't for the fact that this guy was a relative, Hao Jian wouldn't bother wasting so many words. Now, the two choices he gave were to see if, in the end, this guy would have a moment of conscience. If so, he would not mind helping him detoxify.

"You pauper, what do you mean by that?!"

Looking at Hao Jian with a look that disgusted him, Xia Tianjia's expression became increasingly ugly.

"I hope you won't regret this..."

Hao Jian gently shook his head, then glanced at Yuan Shanshan and the others, and pointed at the dishes before he spoke lightly, "If I'm not mistaken, these dishes have been poisoned with a kind of intensely toxic poison. Based on my experience, just a little bit is enough to take a life!"

"Is... Is what you're saying true?!"

The color drained from Yuan Shanshan's mother's face, and she couldn't believe it in her heart. How could her brother-in-law be so cruel?! He looked down on their family, which is one thing, but now he's planning to use poison to kill them?! Just how deep was his hatred?!

"Of course it's true, and this guy has a kind of poison in his body, once triggered, it will lead to immediate death, and anyone who comes into contact with his body afterward will also be infected with this poison."

Hao Jian nodded slightly, then lifted his finger, pointing at Xia Tianjia whose expression was changing. His voice was calm as he said, "This poison is called Hundred Snake Poison, an extremely terrifying toxin. Once poisoned, you won't survive the night, and as it takes effect, the body will feel as if consumed by hundreds of snakes, leading to a miserable death."

"That's terrifying!?"

After hearing Hao Jian's explanation, Yuan Zhibang was elated and looked at Xia Tianjia with eyes full of excitement, saying, "Brother-in-law, you mean to say that if we throw him out now, he won't be a threat to us anymore, and his life would also be over?"

"Naturally..."

"You pauper! Stop spouting nonsense here! If you don't want to eat, then get the hell out and stop slandering me!" Xia Tianjia was also furiously embarrassed, especially shocked in his heart, who exactly was this guy to be able to discern so clearly the poison he had acquired?!

But under these circumstances he still couldn't expose himself, otherwise, it would mean his life was at stake! If he couldn't kill Hao Jian, then he would be the one to die!

Now what he wanted was to use this provocation to incite Hao Jian's stubbornness, he had to make sure he would eat the food! As for this guy noticing something off about the dishes and his own condition, he didn't care!

If push came to shove, even if he had to force-feed it, he would stuff the dishes into Hao Jian's stomach. At this moment, Xia Tianjia also had some regrets about why he had not kept some poison as a contingency plan...

"Not admitting it, huh?! Then I'll beat you until you do!"

Hao Jian couldn't be bothered with wasting words on this kind of person. With a tip-toe on the ground, his figure leaped into the air, springing towards Xia Tianjia. In the blink of an eye, his fist was already in front of Xia Tianjia...

"Boom!"

The body of Xia Tianjia was sent flying by Hao Jian's punch, and as he flew, Hao Jian casually picked up a bowl of chicken soup that was already served. In a swift movement, he appeared in front of Xia Tianjia, looked at him smiling, and said, "If you say you haven't poisoned the soup, then drink this bowl of chicken soup, that way I can believe you."

"Don't!"

Seeing the chicken soup getting closer and closer, Xia Tianjia's face was filled with immense fear. Only he knew best whether there was poison in the soup. The verbal spat with Hao Jian previously posed no risk to his life, but now?

This guy was about to force him to drink the deadly poisoned chicken soup! If he touched just a little bit, would his life be spared?! The Mysterious Man had said that just a little bit was enough to kill a person!

"Oh? Why would our wealthy friend be afraid of chicken soup? Could it be that he's tired of it or something?" Holding the chicken soup, Hao Jian looked at Xia Tianjia with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, a smile hung on his lips, but the cold light in his eyes was getting denser, a faint Killing Intent swirling around him.

The cold Killing Intent hit him square in the face, and Xia Tianjia, already shaken by the bowl of chicken soup, became even more panicked. What to do? What to do?!

"You little poor thing! Stop hitting my father!"

At this moment, Xia Yuanlai also regained his senses, focusing his gaze. He saw his father being mistreated by Hao Jian, and his expression instantly became somber, his voice filled with gnashing rage, he took a step forward, but in the next moment, he was horrified to find that he couldn't move his body!

"It was already a great mercy to talk to you. If you dare to act recklessly again, your 'good father's' life won't be guaranteed..." Hao Jian chuckled and shook his head, showing no pleasure from playing with these people, instead, his gaze shifted to Yuan Haocai who was beside Xia Yuanlai, his voice calm.

"You best not speak words that would stop me, otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen to your husband..."

"And I suppose you've long known that this guy has put poison in these dishes, right? Considering you're my aunt's sister, I won't hold it against you too much..."
