Chapter 256: Tit for Tat!
Millions are not a small sum, but the issue is, Kong Xiaozhen is asking for tens of billions!
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
Kong Xiaozhen's face turned completely cold and as his words fell, another young man who was about the same age as Kong Xiaozhen stepped out of the black sedan.
He stood tall and straight, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, dressed in a Tai Chi robe, and looked utterly majestic.
This young man was clearly a Martial Artist, surrounded by invisible Qi swirling around him like a dragon.
"A person from the Taoist Sect?" Hao Jian recognized the origins of the young man at a glance.
Sun Jian and Kong Xiaozhen, upon seeing that Hao Jian could instantly recognize his background, were both stunned.
Knowing about the Taoist Sect, could this guy be not an ordinary person? Is he also from Jianghu?
"You know of the Taoist Sect? How did you know I am from the Taoist Sect?" Sun Jian asked in surprise.
"You are wearing the robes of the Taoist Sect, and the Vigorous Qi emanating is a characteristic of Taoist Sect's techniques," Hao Jian said with a smile, but his eyes swept coldly over Sun Jian:
"However, with your level, you couldn't kill me. Let your Sect Leader come instead!"
"You are courting death!"
Enraged, Sun Jian was one of the most distinguished disciples of the Taoist Sect, whose strength surpassed all other disciples. That was why Kong Xiaozhen had chosen him as his personal bodyguard, and now Hao Jian dared to insult him as not being qualified?
"Whoosh!"
With a flick of Sun Jian's hand, a shining Soft Sword appeared in his grasp, his expression fierce, ready to strike Hao Jian down with a command.
He had never been insulted like this his whole life.
To say he wasn't good enough, Sun Jian wanted to see who Hao Jian exactly was, daring to speak to him in such a manner.
At that moment, Zhao Yating, along with Luo Tong and others, had just walked out from the school, planning to visit the nearby hospital when they saw Kong Xiaozhen and others confronting Hao Jian with drawn swords and knives out.
"What are you trying to do to Teacher Hao?" Zhao Yating stepped out the first, blocking in front of Hao Jian.
And Luo Tong's eyes also glared sharply at Kong Xiaozhen and Sun Jian.
Kong Xiaozhen watched Hao Jian with interest, "You are also a teacher?"
"A hobby of mine," Hao Jian replied indifferently, a bad feeling in his heart.
He didn't want Kong Xiaozhen to know about his relationship with the students because no one could guarantee that Kong Xiaozhen wouldn't retaliate against them.
"It seems you hold quite a status among these students."
Kong Xiaozhen smirked playfully; he could tell that Hao Jian was a tough nut to crack and these students might just be his weak spot.
Hao Jian remained silent but watched Kong Xiaozhen.
"How about this? Come work for me and I promise not to touch Shu Ya Group," Kong Xiaozhen proposed.
He was now greatly interested in Hao Jian; Hao Jian's daring to insult Sun Jian like that indicated he definitely had significant strength, and most likely a strength surpassing that of Sun Jian.
Upon hearing Kong Xiaozhen say this, Sun Jian's expression grew deeply troubled. Wasn't Kong Xiaozhen's attitude indicating that he was inferior to Hao Jian?
Otherwise, Kong Xiaozhen wouldn't offer an olive branch to Hao Jian right in front of him, especially after such an insult.
"What if I say no?" Hao Jian asked with a cold chuckle.
"If no, Shu Ya Group will certainly be devoured by me, and your students will also meet with bizarre accidents, like missing arms or legs," Kong Xiaozhen's smile disappeared, his face covered with frost.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yating and the others couldn't help but change their expressions. Was Kong Xiaozhen threatening them?
"Can't touch me, so you go after my students? That's truly despicable."
Hao Jian also helplessly laughed, then with a smiling gaze turned towards Kong Xiaozhen, "Are you not afraid that I might kill you?"
"You certainly could do that, but if you did, my family would still kill your students," Kong Xiaozhen maintained his confident smile, knowing Hao Jian had no reason to refuse him.
"What the fuck do you think you are?"
Luo Tong, who had a fiery temper, couldn't contain himself at this provocation, directly shouting as he glared at Kong Xiaozhen, ready to fight.
Kong Xiaozhen glanced at Luo Tong indifferently, then looked away, showing extreme contempt by not even bothering to engage in conversation.
"Damn it, I'm talking to you! Did you hear me?" Luo Tong, seeing this, became even more furious, stepping forward to close in on Kong Xiaozhen.
At this moment, Sun Jian also stepped forward, his face expressionless, and said, "Don't come any closer!"
This was a warning, but also a threat.
But Luo Tong did not take him seriously at all, angrily shouting, "Get out of the way!"
At the same time, he reached out to grab Sun Jian.
Sun Jian didn't speak but drew his sword instead. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire
The soft sword made a whistling sound, trembling like a long snake as it thrust directly towards Luo Tong's throat.
Luo Tong's pupils dilated in a flash due to the danger, already feeling a chill on his neck.
And just then, Luo Tong felt his body suddenly lift off the ground, and before he could figure out what was happening, Hao Jian had already pulled him back.
Sun Jian's sword missed its target.
Seeing this, Sun Jian felt annoyed and lunged forward again, his soft sword sweeping out once more.
Hao Jian's face turned cold. He quickly pushed the terrified Luo Tong's head down, and Sun Jian's sword ended up cutting through a nearby streetlight, severely damaging it.
Seeing this, Zhao Yating and the others couldn't help but gasp. The streetlight was severed so effortlessly; what would happen if it hit a person? Would it not behead them?
These people were not joking around; they really intended to kill.
At this moment, Kong Xiaozhen also showed a hint of admiration in his eyes; he had not misjudged the man. This fellow was no ordinary person, no wonder he was so arrogant.
Impressive people indeed have short tempers!
After failing to kill Luo Tong with two strikes, Sun Jian became thoroughly infuriated. His sword moves were like a sudden violent storm, crazily slashing towards Hao Jian.
But Hao Jian remained calm and composed, not only easily dodging Sun Jian's sword moves but also taking care of Luo Tong beside him.
"Is this never going to end?" Hao Jian finally lost his patience, sending a slap flying.
His slap might have appeared ordinary, but it was extremely cunning and both fast and fierce. Sun Jian had no time to react before he was sent sprawling with a slap.
Kong Xiaozhen's subordinates were all dumbfounded.
They were well aware of Sun Jian's capabilities, yet he couldn't parry even one move against Hao Jian?
At this moment, Kong Xiaozhen also made up his mind that he must recruit Hao Jian under his command; such a man should work for him.
"I told you you were not up to par, but you just wouldn't believe it," Hao Jian sneered as he looked at Sun Jian.
Sun Jian's expression was extremely awkward, especially being humiliated in this way in front of his own master because it meant he was incompetent, a useless rubbish.
