Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 871 - 870: So Much Nonsense

As Hao Jian's words spread, his faint voice carried a touch of indifference and chilliness, piercing into the heart of Yuan Haocai. Her complexion turned somewhat pale as she looked at her older sister, her eyes flashing with a hint of guilt. Then, glancing at her husband and son collapsed on the ground, she bit her teeth, turned her head away, unable to bear the sight.

"Hao Jian, isn't this enough..."

Yuan Shanshan also found it difficult to watch. After all, this man was her relative. Despite his flawed character, they shared a blood connection. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Hao Jian glance over with a slight blink of his eyes, and Yuan Shanshan said no more.

"Drink it!"

Slowly turning his head, Hao Jian looked down at Xia Tianjia on the ground, his tone flat, his eyes without a flicker of emotion.

"No... No, don't!"

Xia Tianjia, realizing that no one could save him, was filled with terror. Only he knew how much poison he had added to the soup. To put it bluntly, just a touch ingested would lead to death in an extremely short period of time!

His hands waved frantically, and his legs tried to get up, but he was petrified to discover that his legs were trembling uncontrollably, completely powerless!

"Oh? Why not, it's just a simple bowl of chicken soup, isn't it? Or are you not giving me face?" Hao Jian looked mockingly at Xia Tianjia on the ground, full of terror, as the bowl in his hand with the chicken soup drew ever closer to Xia Tianjia's mouth.

"You poor kid, stay away from my father!"

Seeing his father in increasing danger, Xia Yuanlai's complexion became even more panicked and furious, but all he could do was gaze angrily, shouting, while his body did not respond as he wished. In his mind, he kept wondering, what was this extremely cold aura?!

Hearing this, Hao Jian's expression turned odd, and soon burst into light laughter, mocking Xia Tianjia, "What now, our wealthy magnate showing such an ugly state, having to rely on your son to plead, even your wife doesn't dare to intervene, how sad is that!"

"Just drink this, and we'll consider nothing ever happened..."

Finally, the bowl reached Xia Tianjia's lips, just a little closer and he could force the soup down Xia Tianjia's throat.

"Don't... don't... I'll talk... I'll talk!"

Hao Jian finally broke through Xia Tianjia's bottom line, and he could no longer control his fear, his hands flailing in panic. But no matter how much he waved his hands, they did not affect the bowl in Hao Jian's grasp, and sometimes his hands even seemed to pass right through the middle of the bowl, as if piercing straight through!

However, nobody noticed this situation, not even Xia Tianjia, who was directly involved, while Hao Jian was fully aware. To accomplish something like this was simple: one just needed a fast hand speed. As Xia Tianjia's hands neared the bowl, Hao Jian would quickly shift the bowl a small distance away and then quickly return it to its original position. In this brief exchange, all that was left was an afterimage...

"Then why don't you tell me?"

Hao Jian chuckled lightly, shaking the bowl in his hand, the chill in his eyes growing heavier.

"It was... It was a Mysterious Man who approached me! He poisoned me and ordered me to feed you the poison. Otherwise, he would take my life. I had no other choice; I didn't want to die, so I had to agree to his demands," Xia Tianjia narrated the whole matter in extremely brief terms.

"What did he look like?"

Even though this guy's words seemed somewhat logical, Hao Jian still detected some inconsistencies and couldn't help but sneer internally. Even if it was the Mysterious Man who threatened him, the manner in which he brought the food over didn't show panic or unease. Instead, it conveyed a sense of righteousness, as if poisoning them was something that had to be done.

"I couldn't see clearly... I don't know how that person appeared, all I know is he was cloaked in black, not a sliver of space exposed..."

After recalling, Xia Tianjia could only hesitantly give a vague description.

"Since you can't describe it, I can't let you off the hook!"

Hao Jian let out a cold chuckle, casually tossing the bowl into the air, then steadily landing it on the table, not a drop of the soup inside spilled. Such finesse was almost divine!

For Xia Tianjia, Hao Jian had never intended to let him go—no matter the circumstances. As long as he posed a threat to the people around him, or to himself, Hao Jian would not spare him!

"Boom!"

With a casual kick, Hao Jian struck Xia Tianjia's body, and a sharp pain surged inside Xia Tianjia instantly, making him widen his eyes and open his mouth, wanting to say something to explain himself. But before his voice could come out, another kick from Hao Jian followed swiftly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Kick after kick landed on Xia Tianjia's body, Hao Jian's expression stern. If he had not discovered it early enough, if he had not known the properties of the poison, they might have actually fallen for this man's scheme, and then they would have lost their lives. With such severe consequences, how could Hao Jian let him go?!

It is obviously impossible!

When his legs got tired from kicking, he switched to punching with his hands; when his hands ached, he switched back to kicking. Wave after wave of fists and feet ceaselessly landed on Xia Tianjia's body. As a doctor, Hao Jian knew which acupressure points would cause this guy the most pain and also knew where to hit him so that he wouldn't die immediately, allowing him to torment him for a while.

"Hao Jian... stop it..."

The injuries on Xia Tianjia's body grew ever more numerous, and his eyes were losing their sparkle. The breath he drew in was less than what he exhaled. At this rate, Xia Tianjia would eventually die sooner or later; even if Hao Jian were to stop now, this guy wouldn't last long before dying.

Without Hao Jian's treatment, Xia Tianjia was bound to die no matter what.

"If I hadn't been here this time, you all would have been dead by now!"

Hao Jian shook his head, intending to tell Yuan Shanshan not to interfere in this matter, but seeing the tragic state of her uncle on the ground, although she felt relieved, she also had to consider her aunt's feelings. Over the years, her mother hadn't stopped talking about her sister lovingly. If Hao Jian were to beat her husband to death in front of everyone, what would they do next?!

Do they really want this sisterly grudge to continue? Moreover, it would be a deeper grudge, one of a husband slain—how could it possibly be let go?!

"Hao Jian!"

Seeing Hao Jian's foot poised to strike again, Yuan Shanshan could no longer care about anything else. She hurriedly ran over and hugged Hao Jian tightly, her soft chest pressing directly against his back as she urgently said, "Stop it! If my uncle dies, it will truly become impossible for us to be together!"

Because previously, Hao Jian only focused his killing intent on Yuan Shanshan's mother, Yuan Haocai, and Xia Yuanlai, he knew in his heart that Yuan Shanshan and Yuan Zhibang wouldn't stop him, so he didn't control them either.

However, he was also interrupted by Yuan Shanshan, and the killing intent in him suddenly decreased sharply. Coupled with the soft sensation against his back, his mind was distracted, and he couldn't concentrate.

"Hao Jian, Auntie is also begging you, please calm down this time…" Yuan Shanshan's mother found that she could move again and hurriedly ran to the side of her daughter. Looking at Xia Tianjia lying on the ground with barely a breath left, disgust flickered in her eyes.

This kind of man thinks he's the top of the world just because he has a bit of money, yet he doesn't know that his niece beside him has a net worth dozens or even hundreds of times higher than his.

Moreover, this man even threatened their entire family's lives, making her even less able to tolerate him. Therefore, for the things Hao Jian did, she could only approve in her mind. However, she did not want her sister to hate her anymore. Therefore, no matter what, she couldn't let her brother-in-law die at the hands of Hao Jian.

"Husband... husband... Are you alright?!"

Yuan Haocai's face was anxious as she quickly approached Xia Tianjia, but as she came close to Hao Jian, she looked at him with some fear in her eyes.

Looking at Xia Tianjia, who was at death's door on the ground, she could only protect him with both hands, her eyes fixed on Hao Jian, and she sharply warned, "Don't you dare touch my husband again! You've already beaten and scolded him; I didn't say anything, but if you want my husband's life, that's not okay!"

"Even if I die, I absolutely won't let you touch a single hair on my husband again!"

"Heh, someone like him, killing him would dirty my hands."

Hao Jian sneered and shook his head, the killing intent in his eyes slowly dissipating, returning to a clear gaze. Looking at Yuan Shanshan who was still hugging him, he jokingly spoke with a strange laugh, "Wife, how long are you going to hug me for? Are you planning to spend the wedding night with me tonight?"

"Gross! Not being serious at all!"

Hearing that, Yuan Shanshan hurriedly let go, her face blushing red as she feigned anger. At the same time, she also heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Since Hao Jian was already making jokes, it meant that he had agreed to their persuasion.

"Hehe, brother-in-law, when you get married, remember to introduce a beauty for me to meet!" Yuan Zhibang also came over and chuckled.

He was someone who hadn't voiced any opinions from the beginning to the end, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't be bothered to speak. He had been disgusted with this uncle long ago, and this time, his uncle had almost cost him his life, so deep down he wished this uncle would die immediately...

"You, ah!"

Hao Jian shook his head and reached into his pocket, taking out an exquisitely small box and then opening it. Inside, there were several thin Golden Needles.

Taking one of the Golden Needles from the box, he crouched down toward Xia Tianjia...

"What are you doing?!"

"Giving him an antidote! What's with all the nonsense!"
