Supremely Talented Tyrant

"I don't care about you..."

Shen Hao was too lazy to talk to a "pauper" like Hao Jian. Instead, he figured it would be better to have a fight. As he was thinking this and getting ready to act, a gangster behind him suddenly came over and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Is that true?!"

Upon hearing what the gangster said, Shen Hao's expression changed slightly. Perhaps it was an illusion, but Hao Jian seemed to detect a hint of excitement in Shen Hao's changing expression.

Right then, Shen Hao looked at Hao Jian with a cold sneer and, after glancing at him, scoffed, "If it weren't for the fact that my people have good information, I really wouldn't have known you're a rich second generation. That sports car parked at the alley entrance is yours, isn't it?"

"That sports car should be worth a few million; you're not someone lacking money, are you..."

As Shen Hao said this, he felt a bit of relief in his heart, thankful that these gangsters had good intel. Otherwise, they really would've missed out on such big prey.

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian touched his nose, thinking it's no surprise that someone like Shen Hao would be so money-hungry...

"You slept with Shen Ling, so technically, you must pay up!"

Shen Hao had no intention of giving Hao Jian a chance to speak. He had already decided everything himself, regardless of whether Shen Ling had actually slept with Hao Jian. As long as he could get money, he was willing to do whatever it took, no matter how depraved!

In any case, even though Shen Ling was his sister, Shen Hao absolutely refused to treat her like one. It was a habit, practiced since childhood; Shen Ling was merely a tool for making money.

"Oh?"

Hearing how unreasonable Shen Hao was, not caring at all about Shen Ling's innocence, Hao Jian really started to believe what Shen Ling had said. No, he not only believed it; Shen Ling seemed to have understated it.

This Shen Hao was no longer her brother. Even if they were related by blood, strictly speaking, they were no longer family but rather strangers, or more accurately, hostage-taker and hostage.

Shen Ling was simply their hostage, a hostage used to supply them with money...

How pathetic...

Looking at Shen Hao, Hao Jian shook his head quietly. It was astonishing that someone like Shen Hao could survive until now. He hadn't even conducted basic research, assuming everything on his own.

Has he never thought that someone who could drive a luxury car wouldn't be an average person? With his limited power, did he really think he could threaten someone who could afford such a car?

After all, anyone who could drive a luxury car could easily spend tens or even hundreds of thousands to make Shen Hao's family disappear from here.

This world is full of outlaws, many of whom are willing to do anything for big money, not to mention there are mercenary organizations in this world...

Apart from mercenaries, many other hire-forces exist. If you pay enough, it's entirely possible to capture a small country's president.

"So how much do you want me to pay you?"

Hao Jian was curious as to how far Shen Ling's brother would go with his absurdity. He had heard of people like this but had never actually encountered one.

"One million!"

Shen Hao responded without hesitation, his eyes filled with heat and a thirst for money. He licked his lips, grinning, "Kid, don't blame me for not warning you; a woman like Shen Ling isn't for just anyone to enjoy. Asking for a million is already letting you off easy. If you can't give me the million, then I'll just have to leave your legs here, along with the hands I said I'd break before. That's both your hands and feet!"

"By the way..."

As he spoke, Shen Hao's expression grew darker, "Not only will I break your limbs, but I'll also go to court and accuse you of rape!"

"Shen Hao, that's enough! This is completely baseless nonsense!"

Shen Ling, seeing Shen Hao being so aggressive and spouting things that were completely untrue to extort money from Hao Jian, was infuriated. Isn't this daylight robbery?!

If the sum you asked for were smaller, perhaps Hao Jian would give it to you, since he could earn it back. But now you're asking for a million, such a large sum. Once it's considered fraud or robbery, it would be a serious crime!

If Hao Jian had the Mind Reading Technique and could hear Shen Ling's thoughts at this moment, he might not resist swearing out loud. He was trying his best to help her, to make her life a bit easier, but this woman still threw her heart into this broken family?!

"Dad, Mom, do you think this is right?!"

When Shen Hao still didn't listen, Shen Ling turned her eyes to her parents, but upon seeing her father's gaze, he just snorted coldly, "You slut! You don't have a say here. Whatever Shen Hao says goes. Even if he wants to sell you into prostitution, we wholeheartedly agree!"

"You, a woman, just need to know how to make money; we'll handle everything else!"

Shen Ling immediately looked ashen-faced upon hearing it...

"Tsk, bitch!"

Shen Hao sneered dismissively. To him, Shen Ling was not even his sister. If not for their blood relation, he wouldn't bother with her at all. Of course, the first thing Shen Hao would do if they weren't related would surely be something despicable!

After all, Shen Ling was as beautiful as a flower. Who wouldn't want to have or play with a woman of her level? Even Hao Jian had once been smitten by her looks, though he had suppressed it with his strong will.

"Shen Hao!"

Being reproached by her parents was one thing; after all, they were elders. But now her younger brother was continuously insulting her in front of others, leaving Shen Ling deeply wronged. Still, beneath her grievances simmered a growing anger.

She suddenly stood up, walked over to Shen Hao, tears streaming like a pear blossom in the rain: "Shen Hao, that's enough! These are family matters, and I've only known him for a few hours. How could I possibly do something like that?!"

"Please don't involve others, okay?! If you want money, I'll get it for you tomorrow!"

"Smack!"

Before Shen Ling's words even finished, she saw a large hand stir up a breeze, rapidly magnifying in her pupils, and then it landed heavily on her cheek, striking her to the ground with great force.

"Tsk!"

Shen Hao's cold snort followed: "Stupid woman, who do you think you are?! How much face do you think you have?! When I say something, you just listen! Don't plead for others or say unnecessary things, or you won't even know how you died!"

"Don't think that just because you're my sister, I won't dare to do anything to you! You're just blood-related to me, but I don't acknowledge having a sister like you! Besides, I, Shen Hao, absolutely don't need one!"

"Damn it!"

The more he talked, the angrier Shen Hao became. He raised his foot, intending to kick again, but suddenly, Hao Jian appeared in front of Shen Ling, with a foot somehow lodged under Shen Hao's foot.

While Shen Hao was still stunned, Hao Jian's indifferent voice came through: "Now it's between you and me. I hope you won't meddle in other matters, or I don't guarantee I'll give you the money..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao's face turned to anger. Was this guy actually threatening him?!

"Heh!"

Hao Jian chuckled coldly, disinterested in speaking further to this guy. Instead, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a checkbook, and, after scribbling some main details with flamboyant strokes, tore off the check.

Holding the check between two fingers, Hao Jian smirked slightly, shook his head at Shen Hao, and sneered: "This check is for a million. You can cash this million at any bank..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao's eyes immediately brightened, and the gangsters behind him all looked equally eager. Needless to say, his parents, who were lazy and indifferent to male preference, loved money as much as Shen Hao did, though not with his level of madness.

"Give it to me!"

Instinctively, Shen Hao reached out, wanting to grab the check, but just as his hand moved, Hao Jian suddenly pulled the check back.

"What are you doing?! Hurry up and give me the money!"

Seeing Hao Jian withdraw the check, Shen Hao's face darkened, and he urgently shouted at Hao Jian.

"Give it to you?"

Hao Jian chuckled coldly, waving the check: "This million is right here. Whether or not you get it depends on your capability. If you're not capable enough, not getting it is perfectly normal."

Though the million meant nothing to him, getting this sum easily was not an option for Shen Hao.

But upon hearing Hao Jian's words, Shen Hao scrutinized Hao Jian carefully and realized he had no backing. His anger faded slightly, replaced by a hint of ridicule.

His parents also heard Hao Jian's words and couldn't help but laugh. Did he think this lad could make their son back off? Impossible!

Hao Jian's words might have been empty rhetoric, but to their ears, it sounded like a concession. After all, he was alone, whereas on their side, including Shen Hao, were five young men. Could five people not handle this man?

Since they could handle him, why would this man say such a thing? It was nothing more than psychological tactics, trying to find a way out for himself. Especially with a woman standing beside him, wanting to show off in front of a woman was quite normal.

"Cowardly brat..."

Shen Hao's mother muttered with disdain, and Shen Hao's father nodded in agreement beside her, his eyes quickly shifting to Shen Ling, once again darkening his expression.
