Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 999 - 998: Enough to come for me?!

"Bang bang bang!"

When Hao Jian reached the twenty-sixth floor, the gunfire still hadn't stopped, and his face showed a hint of helplessness. It seemed that breaking through the front was impossible...

If he couldn't get in from the front, then he'd have to try another way, like through the window...

"One of those factions should be Uli's people, but who is the other? Why would they be fighting with Uli's people?" Hao Jian showed a puzzled look on his face as he kicked open the door of a room far away from Akara and Kelvin's sides.

Maybe these people are targeted at him, and he initially planned to avoid trouble, taking Shu Ya and leaving. He thought there was only one faction, yet upon returning to the hotel, he saw two groups...

"Forget it, I'll find out later. Let's get the stuff first; no matter how intense their fight is, it has nothing to do with me..."

Unable to understand, Hao Jian shook his head, discarding those thoughts, then closed the door behind him, stamped his foot on the floor, and appeared by the window, opening it to observe the surroundings slightly.

"My room is to the left, so let's head that way!"

Stepping onto the window frame, Hao Jian vaulted out, his foot landing on the window ledge, grabbing the drainpipe to his left with one hand and with a push, he perched himself onto the pipe.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The gentle sound of the wind passed by his ears, his eyes slightly discerning the direction. Hao Jian glanced below, seeing things resembling ants, took a deep breath, and with a forceful swing, propelled himself outward...

"Thunk!"

With his remarkable skill and courage, Hao Jian swung onto the drainpipe by another room's window, going back and forth a few times, he slowly neared the room he previously occupied, with the gunfire faintly echoing.

"One last leap!"

Panting for breath, Hao Jian's eyes turned cold and fierce; both hands swung, his foot stepping onto the drainpipe in that instant, vaulting toward the window, grabbing one side of it swiftly and swinging inside his room.

However, upon entering the room, Hao Jian's face showed bewilderment because he didn't see anyone inside. All there was were the overturned and scattered belongings, his and Shu Ya's clothes, and food, all strewn about.

Meanwhile, the rapid gunfire outside kept resounding, indicating the ongoing battle outside. Judging by the state, it seemed the faction that had entered appeared stronger.

"First, find the stuff!"

After a brief daze, Hao Jian remembered he had business to attend to. He quickly bent down, his eyes scanning around and eventually found a faint green glow under an untouched sofa, relaxing his face.

Good, it's still here, no need to engage with them...

As he arrived, Hao Jian worried the item might be taken by the other side, but it remained undiscovered.

Had it been seized, a confrontation would have been inevitable. But having it now avoids a battle.

"Who are you!?"

Just as Hao Jian picked up the Emerald, a slender man suddenly entered the door, holding a firearm. Despite the dust covering him, on this battleground, he remained unharmed, which made Hao Jian's face turn peculiar. How did he end up so dusty?

"Me? I'm the owner of this room!"

Seeing no one else appear once this man stepped in, Hao Jian's heart relaxed, judging him to be alone, coldly chuckling.

Bert was initially an international agent but after uncovering the organization's darkness through a series of missions, he left.

On the flip side, the organization issued a warrant for his arrest, given he was a senior agent who knew too many secrets. Moreover, his casual departure breached organizational terms — tantamount to defection.

Whether due to his abundant knowledge or his various breaches, the organization relentlessly pursued him.

He was saved by Akara during a chance incident. After recovering, he joined Akara's mercenary squad following her advice, leading to his current status.

He's now here to complete Akara's assigned task, entering via the hotel exhaust vent.

To facilitate this opportunity for him, Akara slowly contracted his battle lines. Kelvin, due to the blocked passage on the twenty-sixth floor by Akara, pushed his front outward desperately.

Since Akara guarded the passage, they had to remain, unable to escape.

This explains why once Hao Jian entered the room, he found no one.

"Courting death!"

Detecting the sarcasm in Hao Jian's words, Bert flared with anger, abruptly raising his handgun, chambering it instantly, and pointing the black barrel at Hao Jian.

Seeing this guy pull out a gun at the slightest disagreement, Hao Jian shrugged. Let alone a pistol, even a sniper rifle he could dodge, so he didn't pay any attention to Bert's gun.

He lightly tossed the Emerald in his hand and glanced faintly at Bert. A cold voice came from his mouth, saying, "If you don't want to die, you'd better not point a gun at me like that..."

"Kid, the thing in your hand..."

But Bert didn't pay attention to Hao Jian's words at the moment, or perhaps he directly ignored them, because his eyes were tightly fixed on the Emerald in Hao Jian's hand...

His pupils dilated, staring at the Emerald, his throat rolled, and he spoke softly to Hao Jian, "Take your filthy hand away. That thing is ours!"

"Uh..."

Hearing his voice, Hao Jian felt a chill, then shook his head and glanced at a small ashtray on the ground with the corner of his eye, the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a smile.

"Pop!"

His foot suddenly extended, then kicked the ashtray. Under Hao Jian's strength, the ashtray hit Bert's gun before he could react, directly knocking the gun away.

"Whoosh!"

Along with the flying ashtray was Hao Jian's extraordinarily agile figure. As the ashtray knocked the gun off, Hao Jian's hand landed on Bert's neck, exerting a bit of force to pin Bert against the wall!

The consecutive actions flowed smoothly, a faint Killing Intent spread from Hao Jian's body, cold words came from his mouth, saying, "Don't play any tricks with me, I don't have time to waste with you here. If it weren't for avoiding trouble, do you think these hundreds of people are enough for me to kill?!"

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

With his neck pinched by Hao Jian and feeling the Killing Intent emanating from Hao Jian, Bert's face showed fear. He wanted to speak but could only make muffled sounds.

After all, with his neck grasped by Hao Jian, he lacked the ability to talk...

"I just have a few questions for you..."

However, Hao Jian didn't seem to care about the guy's situation and continued speaking, "Do you know who the parties in the shootout are?"

"And the origin of this gemstone..."

"Tell me everything you know! If you dare to play tricks, I'll show you that there are things more terrifying than death in this world!"

The chilling tone mixed with a faint Killing Intent directly hit Bert's mind, scaring him pale with trembling lips.

In the next moment, he suddenly felt the pressure on his neck disappear, showing a relieved expression on his face as he weakly kneeled on the ground, gasping for breath.

"I'll... speak..."

Bert didn't dare play any tricks. After all, here was Kelvin's rear, and it was impossible to seek assistance. Observing the man's strength, he knew he couldn't contend against him...

Thus, he recounted everything he knew to Hao Jian. As he narrated, Hao Jian slowly sorted out the thoughts in his head.

Until finally, Hao Jian nodded, then looked down at the Emerald in his hand, pointed at the gemstone, and asked Bert, "Are you saying this is the key to Saul Treasury?"

"That's right, that's right!"

On hearing Hao Jian's question, Bert hastily nodded, like a chick pecking grain.

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian's face showed a contemplative expression, hands rubbing his chin, with a gleam in his eyes, then slowly raised his head, spoke to Bert.

"Don't expect to take this Emerald back; I've already decided to give it to Mr. Uli in the business deal we're discussing..."

"This..."

Hearing this sentence, Bert's face changed constantly, regretting deeply why he didn't shoot earlier?

Though he also knew, even if he had shot, the result wouldn't differ much from now. After all, he used to be an International Agent, whose strength even Akara couldn't match, yet in that instant, he couldn't see Hao Jian's movements at all.

Regarding Hao Jian's words, he believed them, because such a powerful person wouldn't bother lying to him, right?

"Your answer is satisfactory; I'll let you go this time. If I see you again, I won't show mercy..."

The reason for leaving this guy was to send a message to the forces behind him!
