Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 603: I Want to Step on Your Face
Hao Jian finished his meal and then started to create a ruckus.
He discovered that there were actually many famous individuals present, which left him utterly astonished, and he went about greeting each one of them and lavishing them with flattery, acting as if he were an old acquaintance.
And those individuals, they all had a look of utter exasperation, knowing full well that Hao Jian was sucking up to them, but his flattery was so lacking in style, wasn't it?
Everyone got the same line, "I've long admired your great name; it's as thunderous as a piercing boom. Today, meeting you is a fortune of three lifetimes!" Couldn't he come up with something new?
The entire banquet was in chaos because of Hao Jian hopping around like a damned monkey, turning a gathering among the elite into a complete shambles, making it feel downright low-class.
And seeing this, Ye Wenying was about to explode with rage. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have invited Hao Jian at all to save himself from this embarrassment.
With Hao Jian making the banquet like this, many guests were somewhat displeased inside, and some even harbored resentment towards him, feeling that he had invited such a nuisance on purpose to annoy them.
Mainly, Ye Wenying hadn't expected Hao Jian to be so shameless. In his view, as someone of superior status, Hao Jian should at least care about saving his own face; such actions were considered unimaginable.
But the result was Ye Wenying had miscalculated; Hao Jian was even more shameless than he had imagined.
"Damn it!" Ye Wenying strode towards Hao Jian, intending to stop him from causing further chaos, or else the banquet would really be ruined by him.
Just as Hao Jian was tirelessly pestering Feng Dagang, professing his admiration, Ye Wenying's hand landed on his shoulder.
"Stop it!" Hao Jian gave his shoulder a shake and flung off Ye Wenying's hand. Then, as if he didn't see Feng Dagang's increasingly dark expression, he continued blabbering his meaningless drivel.

Ye Wenying, standing behind him, had his face turn dark as well—did this guy just ignore him?
Ye Wenying reached out his hand again, and this time, the grip on Hao Jian's shoulder was significantly firmer.
"Who's that? Slapping someone's shoulder like that, have you no manners?" Hao Jian felt it too and turned around impatiently, glaring at Ye Wenying.
But immediately after, Hao Jian was taken aback.
Seeing Hao Jian's bewildered look, Ye Wenying also let out a cold snicker. This guy must have recognized him by now, right?
Seeing that Hao Jian was stunned into silence, no longer daring to act foolishly, Ye Wenying couldn't help but feel somewhat smug.
But then, Hao Jian's expression suddenly changed, with a smile plastered on his face, he grasped Ye Wenying's hand, oozing enthusiasm, "Aren't you that so-and-so? Ah, I've long admired your great name; it's as thunderous as a piercing boom. Today, meeting you is a fortune of three lifetimes!"
"Pfft!"
Not far away, Murong Qiushui, who had been drinking and ready to enjoy the show, couldn't help but spray out his drink upon hearing Hao Jian's words and burst into uncontrollable laughter.
At this moment, Ye Wenying's face was as black as a cauldron. I've long admired your great name; it's as thunderous as a piercing boom. Today, meeting you is a fortune of three lifetimes?
Damn, it turned out Hao Jian hadn't recognized him, otherwise, he wouldn't have spouted such inane nonsense!
You have no idea who I am, and yet you dare to say you've long admired my great name? Ye Wenying was infuriated. This imbecile was utterly disrespectful. After all, he was currently his enemy. Couldn't he take the time to learn a little about his enemy, or would that kill him?
Hao Jian didn't even know what he looked like; how much could he possibly disregard him!
And those guests who had been subjected to Hao Jian's "I've long admired your great name; it's as thunderous as a piercing boom. Today, meeting you is a fortune of three lifetimes!" were now fixating on Hao Jian with resentment. Initially, they felt somewhat flattered by his flattery, but now it seemed Hao Jian probably didn't even know who they were, plainly talking nonsense.
"Who on earth is this guy? Why is he so bizarre?"
"He looks a bit familiar to me, kind of like Hao Jian."
"Hao Jian? The freak who single-handedly took down the four major families of Hua City?"
"That's right, it's him! I recognize him now, but aren't he and Ye Wenying sworn enemies? Didn't he burn down Ye Wenying's stronghold in Hua City? Why would he show up here? Surely, the two sides haven't reconciled, have they?"
Everyone was puzzled; they all knew there was some bad blood between Hao Jian and Ye Wenying. Under such circumstances, why would Hao Jian appear here, was it to provoke Ye Wenying deliberately?
At that moment, Murong Qiushui walked up to him and whispered in Hao Jian's ear, "That's Ye Wenying!"
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian's face once again showed shock.
Ye Wenying, growing impatient, thought: Can you let go of my hand now?
He really didn't like physical contact with others, especially men, and even more so with men he despised.
But Hao Jian was still holding onto his hand, and this was causing Ye Wenying great annoyance.
After a moment of being stunned, the expression on Hao Jian's face became even more enthusiastic, and he started vigorously shaking Ye Wenying's hand, "So you're the Third Young Master Ye? I've long admired you, truly, it's such a pleasure. What an honor that you've invited me to your banquet, such a great honor!"
Everyone was speechless; how could this guy's skin be so thick? Clearly having an irreconcilable feud with Ye Wenying, yet he claimed to have long admired her?
But what puzzled them even more was why Ye Wenying would invite Hao Jian. When had the two of them made peace?
And some began to wonder if Ye Wenying had invited Hao Jian because she was afraid of him and wanted to reconcile. Otherwise, why would she invite him?
The reason Ye Wenying had invited Hao Jian was originally to humiliate him, but who knew that Hao Jian would upstage the host and leave her with no moves to make.
At this moment, both Ye Wenying and Murong Qiushui realized that Hao Jian was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface; his meticulous mind and deep schemes were no less than their own.
Indeed, once Hao Jian learned that Ye Wenying had invited him, he knew what Ye Wenying was up to and quickly planned his response on the way over.
"You really are just as the rumors say, a rascal. It hasn't been long since your arrival, yet you've turned my banquet into a complete mess. You should be secretly delighted in your dreams to attend such a high-class event, at least show enough humility!" Ye Wenying decided to take a stand against Hao Jian, no longer allowing him to dominate the scene, otherwise, she would lose all her dignity.
The crowd discerned the targeting and disdain in Ye Wenying's words and immediately understood that there was no reconciliation between Ye Wenying and Hao Jian, and she had likely invited him today to humiliate him.
"I'm like a rascal?" Hao Jian pointed at himself, his face full of confusion.
Seeing this, everyone was somewhat surprised. Was Hao Jian about to lose his temper? It was no wonder; anyone who cared about their pride would not be pleased being insulted by Ye Wenying, especially since Hao Jian and Ye Wenying had a bad relationship to begin with.
"Is it not so?" Ye Wenying scoffed, eager to see Hao Jian get angry, because if Hao Jian showed anger, she would control the whole situation.
"Of course not, how can you say I'm like a rascal? I'm blatantly a rascal, haha..." Hao Jian shamelessly burst out laughing.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenying and the others were dumbfounded. They realized Hao Jian wasn't shameless, he was utterly shameless!
Ye Wenying was instantly speechless, and for a moment, did not know what to say.
"And haven't you noticed how humble I have been? I went up to greet everyone actively, they like me so much!" Hao Jian said shamelessly.
Like him?
A group of people felt like spitting in Hao Jian's face. Were they not harassed by Hao Jian's relentless approach?
"Since you've come to my banquet, you should abide by my rules, stay quietly to the side, and keep your mouth shut!" Ye Wenying snorted coldly, having already lost her patience.
She had intended to infuriate Hao Jian, but unexpectedly, Hao Jian had angered her instead.
Hao Jian immediately clicked his tongue in displeasure and said, "Third Master Ye, isn't it a bit dull to speak like this? Everyone knows Hua City is my territory, and I didn't force you to follow my rules when you were there. I'm just here to attend a banquet and you're telling me to shut up, aren't you being too stingy?"
With Hao Jian saying this, Ye Wenying didn't know how to retort, because Hua City indeed had fallen into Hao Jian's hands.
Anger flashed in Ye Wenying's eyes as she rebuked, "With my status, I can go wherever I want. Who dares to make me follow their rules?"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod; Ye Wenying's status and background indeed put her beyond most people's constraints.
"I know you have a powerful background, but you should have heard the saying, 'Even a mighty dragon cannot crush a local snake,'" Hao Jian said with a malicious grin.
The crowd was shocked. Was Hao Jian threatening Ye Wenying?
Hearing this, Ye Wenying's expression turned frosty as she barked, "Are you threatening me?"
"Oh, Third Young Master Ye, what are you saying? With your status, how could I dare to threaten you?" Hao Jian immediately put on a scared face.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but show contempt; was this guy scared of Ye Wenying? Wasn't he quite ruthless before, daring to burn down Ye Wenying's base, and now shrinking like an ant in front of the true master?
"I figured as much!" Ye Wenying snorted with pride, a look of scorn emerging on her face.
"Yes, how could I dare threaten you? What I'm doing is 'warning' you!" Hao Jian suddenly changed his tone, a cold smile appearing on his face.
"Huh?" Ye Wenying's eyebrows shot up, not expecting Hao Jian to change his tune so suddenly.
Ye Wenying's eyes were like two blades, fiercely stabbing at Hao Jian's face.
But Hao Jian remained unfazed, a slight smile on his face as he met Ye Wenying's gaze with interest.
At this point, everyone was lost for words. Hao Jian truly was seeking death, boldly provoking Ye Wenying.
Ye Wenying's face grew extremely ugly as she angrily said, "Do you know what you're saying?"
"Of course, what I'm saying is: I burned your store, I killed your dog, and now... I am going to step on your disgusting face!" Hao Jian took a step forward, and a fierce killing intent spread, causing the atmosphere around him to turn icy cold.
