Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 933 - 932: A Solution to Hao Jian's Problem

"This matter absolutely cannot end like this!"

Walking down the road, Bai Herong's face was dark as water. He clenched his fists, growling under his breath.

Thinking about how Hao Jian had humiliated him in that café earlier, forcing him to kneel and apologize to those lowly people—this was something Bai Herong had never experienced since the day he was born!

But who could have imagined that today, his dignity would be trampled on like this? Hao Jian had utterly degraded him, and even now, just recalling Hao Jian sent tremors through his heart, a mix of fury and fear. However, this only made the hatred in Bai Herong's heart build up even further.

"Exactly! Brother Rong, this matter can't just be dropped like that!"

Brother Yu quickly echoed Bai Herong's roar, his eyes flashing with the same defiant light. He was Bai Herong's lapdog, and a master like Bai Herong naturally bred a dog of the same spirit. Having been humiliated by Hao Jian himself, Brother Yu similarly felt no small amount of resentment.

Though his family's standing seemed powerful to outsiders, it was nothing in the eyes of someone like Bai Herong—let alone Hao Jian!

Without external help, Brother Yu knew he'd have no chance of getting back at Hao Jian in this lifetime. No matter how cunning he might be, it was impossible to surpass Hao Jian's influence...

Now, hearing Bai Herong's intent to confront Hao Jian directly, his thoughts stirred. From Brother Yu's perspective, the Bai family's power didn't lose out to Hao Jian in the slightest—perhaps it even surpassed him. If Bai Herong decided to make a move, this could be the opportunity for revenge!

The other rich kids present also had their calculations. Their eyes flickered with subdued glimmers, though one of them hesitated and spoke up: "But this is Hao Jian. Can we really deal with him?"

The name "Hao Jian" had become an overbearing weight on their generation, a mountain they couldn't escape from since who knows when, suffocating them with pressure.

Just recently, trouble had struck both the Murong family and Ye family, with traces of Hao Jian's involvement evident in both cases. These families, no less influential than the Bai family, had suffered under Hao Jian's hand—deadly news.

And for them, still in their twenties, Hao Jian's age wasn't much different from theirs. Yet, at this age, Hao Jian could challenge the might of some of Huaxia's top families, while they still had to rely on their family's power to make any waves outside.

They were indignant! But there was no solution. Hao Jian was Hao Jian—a figure they saw as universally unmatched. But this kind of person couldn't crush their resolve!

"We absolutely can!"

Bai Herong's gaze flickered, and after a short pause, he slowly spoke: "No matter how strong Hao Jian is, in the end, he's just a person—a human like us. At most, he's better at fighting than we are. We can use guns against him!"

"There's a saying: 'No matter your martial arts, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife.' We won't use knives now; we'll use guns!"

At his words, a cold wind blew past the group, making their eyes light up. Yes! No matter how skilled Hao Jian was, the threat of firearms—of modern weapons—would neutralize his power!

"But... we don't have any gun permits. If we get caught, it could be a disaster..."

"No need to worry! My Bai family isn't so weak that we can't handle this! Just do it—if issues arise, no one will dare touch us! The Bai family stands behind me!"

Bai Herong sneered, his eyes sweeping over the gathering. With a dark expression, he said solemnly, "The only problem now is we don't know where to get guns..."

"If we rush to the Capital to get the guns and return, it might be too late..."

Though the Bai family's influence in Huaxia was vast, there were always limitations to matters like logistics. Generally, their family did possess some firearms, but those were stored at the headquarters. Even accessing those required the Family Head's approval.

Completing these formalities would take one or two days, plus travel time—three or four days round-trip. Bai Herong wasn't willing to wait that long!

Yet, aside from this option, Bai Herong couldn't think of any other way to acquire firearms...

"Brother Rong, no need to head to the Capital to fetch guns. Right here in Hua City, I have connections!" The group fell silent at Bai Herong's words, but after a moment, Brother Yu suddenly spoke up.

"What!? Lin Yu, you say you've got connections!? What kind of connections?!"

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Bai Herong snapped out of his contemplation, his eyes widening as he stared at Lin Yu. His tone deepened: "We need a fair number of firearms. Can you really get them?"

"Rest assured, Brother Rong. I know a guy here in Hua City. He used to peddle munitions back in the Capital, but after the recent crackdown there, he had no choice but to hit Hua City instead."

There's a bit of irony to this story. Lin Yu had met this arms dealer back in the Capital, where the man had been preparing to strike a deal with the Lin family. But just as they were about to finalize it, the police caught wind, forcing the dealer to flee instantly.

The Lin family had been angry but ultimately left with no choice. With the police involved, they couldn't proceed with the deal either, and both sides discreetly avoided the investigation.

From that incident, Lin Yu—serving as his family's representative—had gotten this dealer's contact information.

"This is Hao Jian's turf, though. Will we be safe doing this?"

Hearing the dealer was originally from the Capital, Bai Herong relaxed slightly but couldn't help worrying. He voiced his concern aloud.

After all, this was Hao Jian's territory. Dealing in arms wasn't exactly a clean business, and without substantial backing, the seller would've been locked up long ago.

Bai Herong couldn't believe Hao Jian would allow munitions dealers to operate freely on his turf. If such business continued, there were only two possible explanations: either the dealer had bribed connections to set foot in Hua City, or the dealer was under Hao Jian's protection.

After some thought, Bai Herong ruled out the second possibility. If the dealer had Hao Jian as a backer, the Lin family would've discovered it during their collaborations by now.

Since no such information had surfaced, the dealer was likely safe!

"Don't worry, Brother Rong. Since when has Lin Yu ever screwed up a deal?" Lin Yu shrugged off Bai Herong's worries with a smirk. To him, the dealer was just someone who sold guns—unlikely to have any connection to Hao Jian.

Lin Yu spoke with unwavering confidence, patting his chest and declaring firmly.

"Haha! Then it's decided!" Listening to Lin Yu, Bai Herong laughed heartily, clapping Lin Yu's shoulder. He said with a smile, "This matter is up to you now. Tell the guy money is not an issue—it's all about the goods!"

As long as the guns were top-quality, Bai Herong was prepared to spend more; this was, after all, the only way to kill Hao Jian!

Imagining Hao Jian—the man who had become a near-mythical figure in the Capital's elite circles—being taken down by their hands... Then returning triumphantly to the Capital, basking in glories—it made Bai Herong grin uncontrollably, laughing aloud!

Seeing Bai Herong laugh, the rich kids joined in, bursting out in exhilarated laughter at the mere thought of seizing such monumental glory...

Since it was just nearing six o'clock, many office workers were finishing their commutes. Seeing Bai Herong laughing with his entourage at the roadside, some glanced curiously but quickly ignored them, eager to get home. Only some idle grandpas and grandmas lingered briefly before shuffling away in boredom.

"Beep beep beep..."

As the group laughed on, a sudden ringtone blared amidst them. Bai Herong, still enjoying his laugh, furrowed his brows slightly, digging into his pocket and pulling out the latest smartphone. Looking at the familiar number displayed, his expression shifted dramatically.

"Hello! Cousin! It's me, Rong!"

The call was from Bai Yang, Bai Herong's cousin and officially the Bai family's young master. Bai Yang had called to check whether Bai Herong had encountered any problems in Hua City. Since this was Hao Jian's turf, the family was naturally concerned.

As Bai Herong's cousin, Bai Yang felt obligated to inquire about the situation.

Upon hearing his cousin ask about his status in Hua City, Bai Herong smirked proudly. Thinking about their earlier discussions, he burst out laughing: "Cousin, don't worry about me while I'm here in Hua City. You know your cousin Rong's style—as if I'd let even someone like Hao Jian make me suffer!"

"In fact, I'm planning to gather some firearms with my brothers right now and solve that family headache named Hao Jian for all of you!"

Bai Herong's voice brimmed with arrogance, his tone flaunting as he sought to impress his cousin. After all, Hao Jian was viewed as an impossibly intimidating figure by them all.
