Hao Jian snorted with disdain and then pulled out a round metal ball from his bosom, saying, "This thing is called 'Dumbbell,' because it won't explode unless you throw it. I don't know its length, its width, or its weight; I just know it has killed countless Martial Spirits, and no Martial Arts master can withstand a single blow. You... better be careful!" Everyone was stunned. Dumbbell? Isn't this damn thing just a hand grenade? What kind of person is this, bringing a hand grenade to a party? The Night Emperor and Old Man Yan's eyes were twitching; they were both shocked by Hao Jian's shamelessness. True warriors should fight bloody battles with cold weapons, which can be considered as the dignity and pride of a martial artist, even though they knew that firearms were more powerful. So, the Night Emperor and Old Man Yan only used cold weapons, but they never expected that someone like Hao Jian, who was one of them, would shamelessly use a firearm? And you're even stronger than us two. How can you still use firearms under such circumstances? Have you no shame at all? The crowd also cast contemptuous glances at Hao Jian, who had just boldly challenged Old Man Yan and another person to step forward. Who the hell would dare with you holding a hand grenade in your hand? "Go, Pikachu!" Hao Jian hurled the hand grenade right out. "Shit!" Even the usually composed Night Emperor couldn't help but curse aloud as he grabbed Liang Jiankun and ran like the wind. "Ahhhh, it infuriates me too!" Old Man Yan cursed while retreating with Kong Xiaozhen in his arms. He was so angry because he didn't want to touch the current Kong Xiaozhen at all, who was covered with vomit, and he felt like vomiting just looking at him. But he had no choice; he couldn't just stand by and watch Kong Xiaozhen get blown up by Hao Jian, could he? "F*ck! This Huaxia person is really shameless!" "Hand Grenade, run for it!" Everyone was in complete disarray, scrambling in all directions. Seeing this scene, Shu Ya also wanted to cry but had no tears, "My financial summit, my business opportunities..." She had planned to network today with some foreign entrepreneurs to see if they could develop business, but now everyone had been scared away by Hao Jian. So much for networking! "Boom!!!" A deafening explosion shook the entire manor and even woke up Lin Yuanhui, who had passed out. Lin Yuanhui opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw his manor was in ruins, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out again. Hao Jian's hand grenade exploded among the crowd, and needless to say, the ensuing power was immense, creating a crater over three meters in diameter with thick smoke billowing unceasingly. Everyone's faces were ashen, staring in horror at the terrifying Huaxia person in front of them. This guy carried hand grenades on him and even detonated one. "Cough, cough..." A coughing Hao Jian waved his hand to disperse the dust and finally saw the ashen-faced Liang Jiankun and Kong Xiaozhen in the crowd. At this moment, both Young Masters were filled with terror, and deep in their eyes lay a hint of fear. Had this man gone mad? Detonating a hand grenade at such a large financial summit? Any random attendee here was an important figure who could spread the news of this incident far and wide, both domestically and internationally. Hao Jian had no reason not to know this. "Shameless scoundrel, I'll kill you!" Old Man Yan bellowed in anger. Using firearms in a fair duel had completely enraged him. "Stop shouting, let's retreat!" It was at this moment that Kong Xiaozhen on his back rebuked him, his cold gaze fixed on Hao Jian. "Retreat? But this scoundrel has just insulted the Young Master. If we leave now, what will become of the Kong Family's face?" Old Man Yan hesitated, wanting to regain face for Kong Xiaozhen. "It's useless, you're no match for him," Kong Xiaozhen shook his head, having calmed down by now. The fact that Hao Jian could send Old Man Yan flying with a kick was enough to show that there was a massive gap in strength between the two. "Nonsense, I was just caught off guard for a moment. That's why I fell for the boy's trick. If I get another chance, I'll definitely cut him down!" Old Man Yan said reluctantly, as he attributed his previous misfortune to a moment of carelessness. "No, you're not as cunning as that boy, nor as shameless. Besides, how can you be sure that he only has one hand grenade on him?" Kong Xiaozhen sneered. From the moment Hao Jian took out the hand grenade, he knew this battle could not be fought. Old Man Yan immediately fell silent, right, if that bastard resorted to using hand grenades to launch a sneak attack again, that would be really bad. This boy is so shameless, he must be rigged with all kinds of nasty tricks from head to toe; taking Kong Xiaozhen along to have a conflict with him is truly unwise. Old Man Yan glared at Hao Jian fiercely, then carried Kong Xiaozhen on his back and dashed away into the distance. At this moment, the Night Emperor also exchanged a glance with Liang Jiankun and then left through the back door in succession. Everyone present didn't know how to describe their feelings at this point—were the two Young Masters actually forced to retreat by Hao Jian? Weren't they supposed to be the proud sons of heaven? Weren't they said to be unmatched in their generation? How did they end up getting scared away? "Leaving just like this? That's really boring. Alas, it's lonely at the top," sighed Hao Jian, sounding rather helpless. Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes. Lonely at the top? Have you no shame? If you're so great, then don't use hand grenades. Just then, within the crowd, a gaze locked tightly onto Hao Jian. It belonged to a masked woman wearing a black dress. She was tall and well-proportioned, with skin as tender and white as snow. Unlike other women who relied on revealing clothes to attract attention, her tight dress conservatively covered seventy percent of her skin, giving her a dignified and elegant appearance. Around her neck hung a low-key yet luxurious light blue pendant, perfectly positioned at her collarbone, creating a flawless match that sparked fanciful thoughts. If you paid enough attention, you would notice that there wasn't anyone standing within a meter of this woman; everyone intentionally kept their distance from her, as if they held her in awe. "Who is this person?" asked the lady. Her voice was as melodious as the sound of a piano—a simple four words, yet they rang so pleasantly. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Standing by her side was another woman, wearing black-framed glasses, presenting the image of elegantly demure scholarliness. However, at this moment, her face was as frosty as ice, sporting a look of disdain as if everyone owed her millions. Hearing the lady's question, the secretary frowned but still responded emotionlessly, "Hao Jian, of unclear origin and identity, appeared in Hua City a year ago, became infamous overnight as the fiancé of the president of Shu Ya Group, with a vast background. Those who associate with him are no ordinary people. Once, he humiliated both Liang Jiankun and Kong Xiaozhen and yet has survived to this day. He is a very mysterious and terrifying individual." The Eyeglasses Lady's analysis was well-organized, like that of a computer, even knowing the outsider's "overnight infamy," which she surely knew in detail. She had obviously investigated Hao Jian, but being able to recite such detailed information without a single error—that was the most frightening part. "Miss, if you need more detailed information, I can have someone prepare it afterwards," offered the Eyeglasses Lady to the woman in black. "No need, this is enough. He is a very interesting man. Ma Li, find a way for me to get in touch with him," the lady in black said as the red lips under her veil curved into an alluring arc, though shrouded by the veil, still tempting. "The miss wants to get in touch with him?" Ma Li was taken aback, knowing somewhat about Hao Jian. No, she should say, she remembered anyone who might pose a threat to their family. Ma Li's brain was like a super-computer, storing all the details of key figures, down to how many meals they eat a day, clear and precise. No one could escape Ma Li's investigation, or rather, the investigation of the family behind her. The only exception was Hao Jian; his identity was actually a state-encrypted file, which made Ma Li feel somewhat defeated and more curious about him. Hence, she had deliberately looked into him recently and found that this guy was notoriously infamous, so she was not too keen on her young lady interacting with Hao Jian. "What, is it not possible?" the lady in black asked with a smile, a stunningly frightening beauty emerging from the celestial visage beneath the veil. "Miss, all the women who have been in contact with this man have ended up falling in love with him," Ma Li said hesitantly. The lady in black seemed to be amused by Ma Li's statement, "Are you worried I'll fall in love with him? Do you think I am as easily deceived as those women?" Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire "Of course not," Ma Li quickly retorted, the miss with an IQ of 201 could not possibly be fooled by Hao Jian. "But this isn't about IQ, it's about emotional intelligence. Miss, you have an IQ of 201, but your EQ..." Ma Li hesitated, although her young lady's IQ was tested, her EQ was unknown. "You're overthinking it. The reason I want to contact him is simply because I value his abilities and hope he can work under my command. After all, such a powerhouse should be put to use for me," the woman in the black dress said ambitiously, already harboring the thought of recruiting Hao Jian. After witnessing Hao Jian's skill and cunning, the lady realized he must be no ordinary person and thought that if she could employ him, he would undoubtedly add strength to her own! "I see," Ma Li breathed a sigh of relief but then voiced her concern, "But miss, this man is an unstable ticking time bomb, dangerous and uncontrollable. If we bring him into our ranks, I fear we won't be able to manage him, and it might even be a case of inviting a wolf into the house." The more Ma Li knew about Hao Jian, the clearer his danger became to her. Recruiting him was definitely not a good idea—this guy was like a wild wolf, one that could never be tamed!
