Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 925 - 924: Never Heard of It......

"Clang!"

"If you know what's good for you, hand over the money now!"

At this moment, the store was filled with more than a dozen burly, fierce-looking men. Some of them grabbed chairs, constantly smashing the glass that protected the jewelry.

But they didn't take any of the jewelry inside — not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't dare. After all, these items were gold and silver. Plus, with so many people watching, if they took anything, they'd be considered thieves, and theft in Hua City is usually cracked down on harshly.

They were well aware of this, so all they could do was vandalize the shop without daring to actually take anything.

Apart from those smashing the shop, five others surrounded the store's employees with menacing looks on their faces, including Xiao Qiang.

At this time, she was tightly clutching her hands, her phone already knocked to the ground by the others, and no one dared to pick it up.

"This is too much!"

Upon hearing that the other party persisted relentlessly, Xiao Qiang shouted angrily, "We do legitimate business here, when was there ever a practice of paying protection money?!"

"Heh, heh? Not paying?!"

The leader was a man about six feet tall with a shaved bald head and a deep scar on his face. He looked to be around thirty-five years old.

His face was full of fierceness as he looked at Xiao Qiang, with no lewdness, only anger. He suddenly waved his hand with force and shouted, "Brothers, smash it! Smash it hard! I want to see whether this woman will pay the protection money or not!"

"Yes!"

All the underlings laughed sinisterly at their boss's words, looking at Xiao Qiang with a bit of ** in their eyes. Unlike their boss, who had no interest in women, they ogled Xiao Qiang unabashedly, and upon hearing their boss's shout, intensified their actions.

"Bang! Bang! Crash!"

Many pieces of jewelry turned into fragments under their iron rod chairs. Seeing the jewelry being damaged, Xiao Qiang's pretty face was full of frost. Although the jewelry wasn't very expensive, usually around seven or eight hundred, the sheer quantity was the issue!

Each swing of the rod broke at least three or four pieces of jewelry. Just in this short moment, Xiao Qiang saw no fewer than a hundred pieces broken, almost a hundred thousand yuan lost...

"Make them stop!"

Xiao Qiang couldn't help but shout in a low voice, her pretty face full of anger as she coldly said to the boss, "If you don't make them stop, I guarantee you won't see the sunrise tomorrow!"

In Hua City, no one dared to mess with them like this! She had Hao Jian backing her up, and as long as he was there, Xiao Qiang believed that dealing with these thugs would be a piece of cake.

Although Hao Jian wasn't here at the moment, as long as she could hold on now, she would definitely find Hao Jian! She wanted him to help her get justice. She wondered how long this kind of person could stay arrogant!

"Oh? Why don't you tell me how I won't see the sunrise tomorrow?!" Upon hearing Xiao Qiang's words, the boss wasn't concerned at all. Instead, he laughed mockingly.

The lackeys beside him also laughed along. But their eyes, looking at Xiao Qiang and others, were filled with lewdness as they licked their lips.

They had never seen such a stunning woman. If they could drag her to bed for a wild time, they'd be willing to lose even ten years of their life!

Unfortunately, their boss wouldn't let them do that, much to their dismay...

Their boss seemed to have no interest in women at all. No matter how beautiful a woman was, in his eyes, they were just tools for making money. Sometimes they even suspected that their boss had a peculiar sexual orientation. But eventually, they realized that not only did he dislike women, he had no interest in men either.

So, although they really wanted to tease Xiao Qiang, they didn't dare risk a beating from their boss for opening their mouths.

A few of them had once said disrespectful things to women right in front of their boss, and they had been severely beaten for it.

"I think not only will you not see tomorrow's sunrise, but you won't even see the moon tonight!" Before Xiao Qiang could refute, a plain voice suddenly rang out. Hearing this voice, Xiao Qiang's previously frosty face melted into a smile as she quickly scanned her surroundings, trying to find the source of the voice, but after a while, she found nothing...

"Haha, no need to look for me, I'm right here beside you..."

Hao Jian's figure gradually emerged from Xiao Qiang's side. Where he originally stood, a barely visible afterimage slowly dissipated...

"Hao Jian! How did you get here?!"

Seeing Hao Jian appear, Xiao Qiang was filled with surprise and said, "I remember not calling you to come!"

"Haha, you were late to meet Sister Lan, so I got worried and came to check on you." Hao Jian chuckled and said, "Didn't expect you'd get into trouble. Looks like your shop, which has only been open for a few days, needs another renovation soon!"

At Hao Jian's teasing, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but roll her eyes. This guy, instead of helping immediately, joked around upon arriving.

"You...you're courting death?!"

Seeing a man with a smile appear out of nowhere and then chat with the woman, completely ignoring his presence, the boss's fury erupted as he shouted at Hao Jian and Xiao Qiang, "Kid! Who are you?! How dare you interfere in Chang Zeliang's business?!"

"Chang Zeliang? Never heard of you..."

Hao Jian dug his little finger in his ear, full of disdain, and sneered, "I don't care what Zeliang you are. Since you've trashed this shop, don't think you can leave tonight!"

"Perfect! Your Lord Zeliang would like to see how you plan to keep me here! Playing hero isn't for everyone! Don't get yourself killed in a moment of impulse!"

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

As Chang Zeliang and Hao Jian confronted each other, the onlookers were filled with worry, watching the scene unfold. Some had already discreetly taken out their phones and called the police station responsible for the city, reporting the incident.

The police station responsible for the city was, naturally, the city bureau. Upon receiving the report, they immediately organized a team and rushed towards the pedestrian street.

In the police car was Lin Nantian, the police bureau chief. Typically, he would not get involved in such matters, like this dispute reportedly over protection money. He generally wouldn't get involved in such things.

The main issue was the location. He had mentioned this place to Spice Ginger during one of their meals.

It's the shop opened by Hao Jian's woman! If it's trashed right under his nose and he can't handle it, he might not hold onto his job if Hao Jian wants answers!

"Nothing must go wrong!"

In the police car, Lin Nantian prayed repeatedly, unaware that Hao Jian was already inside the store, confronting Chang Zeliang.

Chang Zeliang had no idea of Hao Jian's identity; after all, he was just a small-time Gangster. When he saw Hao Jian daring to stop him from collecting protection money, he immediately grabbed a pipe from one of his lackeys, patting it in his hand to make a sound.

He then looked viciously at Hao Jian, grinning ferociously, "Kid, you look so scrawny. Guess how many hits you can take from my rod?"

"Do you really think your little pipe can hit me?" Forget pipes; he didn't even know how many bullets he'd taken before. With his skills, why would he fear this guy?

With a mocking smile, he tapped his foot on the ground, instantly appearing in front of Chang Zeliang before he could react...

"Whoosh!"

The sound of rushing air was heard as Hao Jian reached out, lightly touching the pipe in Chang Zeliang's hand. One pull and one tug, and he had the pipe out of his grip. Then Hao Jian, tapping his foot on the ground again, quickly moved back to Xiao Qiang's side as if nothing had changed.

But now Hao Jian had a pipe in his hand, while Chang Zeliang was without his...

"You...you..."

When Hao Jian returned to his original spot, Chang Zeliang finally regained his senses. He looked at his empty hands, then at the pipe in Hao Jian's grasp, his face showing panic but mostly anger. He pointed at Hao Jian, growling, "Kid, what did you just do?!"

"Nothing much, just don't like people pointing at me..." Hao Jian casually bent the pipe with his hands, easily bending it.

"If I had applied that force on your neck, do you think your head would still stay on?" Hao Jian's face was innocent as he said this casually, as if it were the most normal thing.

But to Chang Zeliang and his men, the words carried a heavy, bloody implication...
