"Ouch, looks like I can leave now, huh?" Hao Jian asked knowingly, appearing very smug and arrogant. "Young Master," Yu Zhixun stared at Liang Jiankun desperately. If what Hao Jian said was true, wouldn't he really have to grovel? "Let him go!" Liang Jiankun ordered with a grim expression. Yu Zhixun was instantly petrified and said, "Why on earth is this happening? We finally caught him, how can we let him go so easily?" "This is an order from the provincial leaders, none of us can defy it," Liang Jiankun said. When even the top provincial authorities had spoken, if they touched Hao Jian again, it would be a death wish. With that, Yu Zhixun had nothing to say. "All done with the commotion? Now it's my turn," Hao Jian chuckled, ready to stir trouble. He was not the type to let people bully him. Since they had come looking for trouble, they had to pay a price! "You, didn't you just say you'd grovel? Come here!" Hao Jian pointed at Yu Zhixun and asked. "Kiss your mom!" Yu Zhixun shouted furiously. How could he possibly do something so humiliating? He just said that offhandedly; he never intended to really do it. "Thinking of going back on your word? Is that possible?" Hao Jian strode toward Yu Zhixun and then clamped down on Yu Zhixun's shoulder with an eagle claw grip. "What, what are you doing? This is the military!" Yu Zhixun's voice trembled. This guy, he wouldn't really be planning to beat him up on his own turf, would he? That was just too disrespectful. "I know this is the military, but do you dare to touch me now?" Hao Jian smirked triumphantly. As soon as he said this, both Liang Jiankun and Kong Xiaozhen's faces grew even uglier. With that authority figure having spoken, they dared not touch Hao Jian. Now they could only watch as Hao Jian slapped them in the face repeatedly, unable to do anything about it. "Young Master, save me," Yu Zhixun looked pitifully at Liang Jiankun. But Liang Jiankun just turned away with an ugly expression. He couldn't even save himself, how could he save Yu Zhixun? Seeing Liang Jiankun's reaction, Yu Zhixun's heart chilled. "Looks like your master has abandoned you, huh? But that's normal, who asked you to be just a dog?" Hao Jian sneered. But as much as his words insulted Yu Zhixun, they also mocked Liang Jiankun's impotence in not being able to defend even his own subordinates. At that moment, every pore in Liang Jiankun's body seemed to expand. This was the second time he had been utterly humiliated by Hao Jian, and this time was even more brutal than the last. Last time, he at least dared to talk tough. But this time, he didn't even dare to speak. Watching his own 'dog' getting beaten while being powerless to intervene, one could imagine how frustrated Liang Jiankun felt inside. "Now, grovel!" Hao Jian pushed Yu Zhixun downward and commanded. "Hao Jian, are you really going to do this? I am your brother's uncle," Yu Zhixun began to play the emotional card. But Hao Jian, not in the mood to entertain him, sneered, "When you wanted to kill me just now, why didn't you remember I'm your nephew's brother? Enough talk, hurry up and go home after you're done!" "I won't grovel!" Yu Zhixun roared. He was a soldier. If he groveled to Hao Jian, how could he face his peers in the future? "Not going to grovel? You really think I won't hit you?" Hao Jian picked up a large stone from the ground, weighed it, and asked Yu Zhixun, "Ever seen a stone this big used as a hot pot?" Yu Zhixun's expression stiffened. This guy, planning to hit him with that stone? That would be murder! "Whoosh!" Hao Jian threw the stone, but not at Yu Zhixun. Instead, it hit Liang Jiankun, who had not expected Hao Jian would strike him. The stone crashed into his head, bleeding profusely. Liang Jiankun collapsed head-first into a bush, dazed. The impact of such a large stone had caused him a mild concussion. "Young Master." The officials hurried over to help Liang Jiankun, but he pushed them away fiercely, glaring at Hao Jian with a look that could kill. Yet Hao Jian remained indifferent, pointing at Liang Jiankun and instructing Yu Zhixun, "See, I dare to hit your master, you think I wouldn't dare to hit you?" Yu Zhixun, in tears, knelt down and miserably licked Hao Jian's shoes. He had no choice; if he didn't, he'd end up like Liang Jiankun. Hao Jian was very likely to beat him before forcing him to grovel anyway. Rather than being beaten first, he might as well just do as Hao Jian demanded. "What a good dog, okay, now scram," Hao Jian kicked Yu Zhixun away, just like kicking a dead dog. Having vented his resentment toward Yu Zhixun, it was now Liang Jiankun and Kong Xiaozhen's turn. Hao Jian walked up to Kong Xiaozhen with a smile, "I did say I wouldn't disappoint you, didn't I? Do you believe me now?" "I admit I underestimated you!" Kong Xiaozhen gritted his teeth as he glared at Hao Jian, though his heart felt bitter. "Since that's the case, you'd better be careful next time." Hao Jian nodded earnestly. Just when everyone thought he had more to say, he suddenly struck, slapping Kong Xiaozhen hard across the face. The blow sent Kong Xiaozhen staggering sideways, almost plunging face-first into the mud. "Young Master!" Kong Xiaozhen's men hurriedly came up to help him, but Kong Xiaozhen waved them off signifying them to stop. Meanwhile, he looked at Hao Jian with a smirk, "Are you satisfied now?" He knew Hao Jian needed to vent. Had he been humiliated like that, he would have lashed out too. Now unable to defy Hao Jian, he could only let him do as he wished. After all, Hao Jian wouldn't dare kill him; anything else he could tolerate. "Satisfied? Do I look like someone who's easily satisfied?" Hao Jian sneered, mounted Kong Xiaozhen, and started slapping him repeatedly. As he hit, he shouted, "I'll show you for being cheap! I'll show you for bullying me! Satisfied, huh? Are you satisfied now?" Everyone was stunned; Hao Jian wasn't just beating Kong Xiaozhen, but the face of the entire Kong Family! In their eyes, Kong Xiaozhen had always been untouchable. When did he ever fall so low? It was like a street brawl with gangsters. "Enough!" Kong Xiaozhen roared in fury as Hao Jian beat him. Although he was prepared to be manipulated by Hao Jian, this was too much. He thought Hao Jian might leave him crippled, but the continual slapping and this level of humiliation was too excessive. "Enough? You think it's enough because you say so? I say it's not! Still talking back? You really are asking for it!" Hao Jian scolded sharply and then started hitting him again.

Only when Kong Xiaozhen's handsome face had swollen up like a pig's head, bruised in blues and purples, did Hao Jian finally stop. Getting off of him, he snorted, "I hate men who look better than me the most." Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire Kong Xiaozhen flipped Hao Jian the middle finger, but couldn't utter a single word. Meanwhile, having dealt with Kong Xiaozhen, Hao Jian naturally turned his target to Liang Jiankun. When Liang Jiankun saw Hao Jian's menacing gaze, he panicked instantly, "What do you want? You've already hit me once!" His head was already bleeding. Wasn't that enough? "Your head might be bleeding, but you're still in better shape than Kong Xiaozhen. Look, I've beaten him to a pulp. If I don't do the same to you, wouldn't that be unfair?" Hao Jian said with a meaningful and malicious smile. "Of course, if you're willing to kneel and lick my shoes, I might let you go," Hao Jian added. To his surprise, Liang Jiankun burst out laughing, "Kneel and lick? You think I'm Yu Zhixun? Even if you kill me, I would never do such a disgraceful thing!" Liang Jiankun couldn't kneel; he represented not just himself but the entire Liang Family! As the heir apparent of the Liang Family, if he knelt, it would mean the whole Liang Family knelt, implicating the family's honor. He could never do that. Hearing this, Yu Zhixun's face turned red. Damn, he couldn't live like this anymore. It was bad enough that Hao Jian insulted him, but now even his master was joining in. "Go ahead!" Liang Jiankun closed his eyes, resigning himself to Hao Jian's mercy. This time, he had lost, and he was willing to pay the price for his defeat. But just when Liang Jiankun thought Hao Jian would slap him, Hao Jian kicked him over instead and started stomping on his face. Everyone clearly saw Liang Jiankun's face contorting under Hao Jian's foot, flattening and swelling with each stomp. "Why aren't you using your hand?" Liang Jiankun exploded in anger. Hao Jian had used his hand on Kong Xiaozhen, but for him, it was a brutal stomping. Was this fair? "Because what I hate the most isn't pretty boys, but poseurs!" Hao Jian explained, viewing Liang Jiankun as someone who liked to put on airs. "..." Liang Jiankun was left speechless. "Done asking? Once you are, I'll continue," Hao Jian said. "Wait." Liang Jiankun called out, looking awkwardly at Hao Jian, "Can you not hit the face?" Everyone looked on as if they had seen a ghost; they had no idea Liang Jiankun was so vain about his face. "No." Hao Jian cruelly refused Liang Jiankun's request and continued to stomp wildly on his face. Both Young Masters were ruthlessly humiliated by Hao Jian, stomped on severely until they became numb and insensible. Hao Jian slowly backed up a few steps, his smile gradually fading as he spoke in a low voice, "The Liang Family wants to control Hua City's politics, the Kong Family wants to take over Hua City's military, and the He Family aims to monopolize Hua City's business." Liang Jiankun and Kong Xiaozhen simultaneously furrowed their brows. Hao Jian clearly knew their intentions. But how? "But let me tell you this, as long as I, Hao Jian, am alive, you can never achieve your ambitions. The Liang Family wants politics, the Kong Family wants the military, the He Family wants business, and I... Heh. I want it all!" Hao Jian declared boldly, his aura soaring. At that moment, a heavy silence fell over the members of the three families. Even Liang Jiankun and Kong Xiaozhen felt the weight. If Hao Jian had said this before, they would have simply laughed it off. But after witnessing his capabilities today, they could no longer underestimate him.
