Chapter 1436: Chapter 1434: Did I Give You Permission to Speak?

The strongest force of the Cao Family took action.

In Cao Zhile’s eyes, Hao Jian had already become a toy that could be played with at any time.

No matter how strong Hao Jian’s power is, what Overlord of Hua City, in front of the true strength of the Cao Family, isn’t it as simple as crushing an ant?

A smug smile flashed across Cao Zhile’s face.

At this moment, Cao Hong had the same thoughts as Cao Zhile.

All those earlier were merely sending small fry to test the waters. You might have some skill against the underlings, but in the face of true power, wouldn’t you still have to kneel and beg for mercy?

After offending the Cao Family and speaking so arrogantly, we will let you know the consequences of offending the Cao Family.

But just as Cao Hong and Cao Zhile were gleefully preparing to watch Hao Jian kneel and plead for mercy, suddenly their pupils shrank abruptly, and their faces of surprise quickly turned into disbelief.

They only saw the three people attack Hao Jian together, but somehow, before they knew it, the three people were already lying on the ground.

Why were they on the ground? Was there any other reason besides Hao Jian’s actions!

But who knew how Hao Jian made his move? No one saw it.

No one knew when he did it, how he did it, and yet the three representing the strongest power of the Cao Family lay consecutively on the ground.

This…

Cao Hong’s face suddenly turned livid.

Cao Zhile’s expression was also unpleasant.

“What’s going on!” Cao Zhile said.

Cao Hong perhaps understood the situation but said nothing.

Hao Jian hadn’t really used much force. If he intended to deal with these people with his strength, he was completely confident in eliminating them without any effort.

It would be just like squashing an ant, maybe even simpler than that.

But Hao Jian didn’t want to solve the problem so easily.

Since we are to play, let’s play well, precisely because his wounds have healed and he needs someone to scratch the itch!

The three quickly got back up.

They didn’t feel that Hao Jian’s skills were that strong; they were just caught off guard earlier. Otherwise, they were fully confident they could capture Hao Jian.

All three thought that as long as they were cautious this time, Hao Jian wouldn’t have any means to deal with them.

However, they seemed to have thought wrong, all three were mistaken.

Before the three could even make a move, Hao Jian grabbed one with his left hand, the other with his right, and kicked the third one flying.

“Smack!” A heavy slap landed on a face.

The person only felt a stinging pain on their cheek and was then thrown to the ground.

“Smack!” Another slap hit another person’s face, and this one was instantly sent flying.

“Humph!”

Cao Hong let out a cold snort.

In recent years, talents had been emerging in the Cao Family, which is why the foundation in Cao Family City was becoming ever firmer. This allowed people like Cao Zhile to act recklessly outside without anyone to restrain him. The Cao Family would not say a word about small problems he caused, solving them himself, while for big issues, the Cao Family would step in to help.

After all, in Cao Family City, the Cao Family was akin to the Heavenly King.

And these three people were the true power of the Cao Family, the power representing the Cao Family.

Who would have thought they’d be so mishandled in the hands of a mere Hao Jian?

Cao Hong simply felt these three people were too useless, wasted money and effort on nurturing them.

But openly, he couldn’t say it, as everyone knew these three were the Cao Family’s strongest force! Calling them incompetent was like saying the Cao Family was incompetent!

So Cao Hong could only think to himself like this.

And at this moment, Cao Zhile was merely gritting his teeth, glaring at Hao Jian.

No matter what, he was determined to settle that grudge today.

Hao Jian didn’t say a word, heading straight towards Cao Hong.

The three representing the strongest power of the Cao Family tried to stop Hao Jian, but he slapped them back directly.

“Smack!” A clear sound!

“Smack!” A pleasing sound!

“Smack!” A melodious sound!

“Smack smack smack!”

Hao Jian seemed to enjoy these sounds immensely.

But in Cao Hong’s heart, the sounds were unbearable.

This wasn’t just a matter of simply slapping a few times; these three stood for the strongest power of the Cao Family, representing the Cao Family in battle.

These slaps seemed to hit the faces of these three people, but in reality, each slap was also striking the face of the Cao Family.

Striking the face of the Cao Family was like striking the face of Cao Hong!

Cao Hong’s face was turning increasingly sour.

But Hao Jian just loved it this way—the worse Cao Hong’s expression became, the happier he felt.

This is the consequence of offending Hao Jian.

Slapping until satisfied.

Perhaps because his hand became tired from slapping, Hao Jian finally stopped.

“Smack!” The final sound rang out, and the three people lay directly on the ground, motionless.

In that last strike, Hao Jian used a bit more force, directly knocking out all their teeth. As for their whole bodies, it was likely that all their bones were shattered.

“Hmph!” Cao Hong snorted coldly in anger.

This Hao Jian simply did not regard the Cao Family at all.

If that’s the case, don’t blame the Cao Family for being ruthless.

If the Cao Family were just an ordinary mortal family, it would be one thing to be humiliated by you.

But what is the Cao Family? It’s an Ancient Martial Arts family. Even if an Ancient Martial Arts family is small, it’s not something a mere Hao Jian can bully.

Even if Hao Jian had defeated the Cao Family’s strongest force, Cao Hong showed no fear of Hao Jian.

A true Ancient Martial Arts family doesn’t rely on just these tricks.

Of course, an Ancient Martial Arts family has its own methods.

If Cao Hong had shown Hao Jian any good face before, from the moment Hao Jian started slapping his face, that good face vanished like smoke.

Hao Jian walked straight over and then said, “Where are my people?”

At this moment, Cao Zhile laughed.

“Your people? If you don’t give us a reasonable explanation to make us happy, don’t even think about getting yourself out of this door today!” Cao Zhile said.

“The door!” Hao Jian smiled, glancing back meaningfully at the door that he had long since kicked to pieces.

Now, where was the shadow of a door? The door had already been shattered into many pieces lying on the ground. There was no door left, just an empty hole.

Right, hole, that’s the most apt description.

Cao Hong was so angry he almost went out to give Cao Zhile a beating.

This fool was inviting trouble to insult himself.

Cao Zhile suddenly understood and was so furious he almost exploded.

“You…” Cao Zhile said, “You brat, keep talking tough, let’s see how long you can keep it up. Anyway, you’ll be on your knees begging for mercy sooner or later!”

After speaking, Cao Zhile didn’t forget to cast a contemptuous look at Hao Jian.

He was all too familiar with that look. When he used to bully others, his favorite thing was to give this kind of contemptuous look, it made him feel superior, especially when the bullied dared not resist and only begged for mercy.

Although Hao Jian was currently dominant, in his eyes, Hao Jian was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, sure to kneel and beg for mercy later.

In the past, he hadn’t only bullied those who seemed very arrogant; even those who remained stubborn after being beaten would eventually give in and beg for mercy.

Such people begging for mercy looked more like stray dogs than others, which was something he liked even more.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhile couldn’t help but laugh.

“Where are my people?” Hao Jian repeated.

Cao Zhile responded, “Haha…your people…you still want to see your lackeys, haha…it’s killing me with laughter, let me tell you, if you don’t apologize to me to make me happy today, forget your words, there will be no good outcome for you either!”

Cao Zhile’s laughter became even louder.

Suddenly, “Smack!” a sound rang out.

In the next moment, five fingerprints appeared on Cao Zhile’s face.

Blood dripped from the corner of Cao Zhile’s mouth, and his teeth were directly knocked out by the slap.

At this moment, Hao Jian stood in front of Cao Zhile.

“When I speak, did I give you permission to interject?!” Hao Jian said.

Cao Zhile covered his mouth with both hands, his face twisted in pain.

“Damn it!” Cao Zhile said painfully.

Unexpectedly, “Smack!” another slap landed on his face.

This time, without any reservation, it knocked out all of his teeth, leaving them in fragments.

Now, Cao Zhile had a mouth full of broken teeth and a mouthful of fresh blood.

Since childhood, Cao Hong had indulged this son, allowing him to run wild outside, confident that whatever trouble he caused, the Cao Family could easily resolve it.

And so, this fostered Cao Zhile’s reckless arrogance and his utter disregard for anyone.

Cao Hong didn’t want to control his son anymore, but with Hao Jian bullying Cao Zhile in front of him now, it was a different matter.

This wasn’t just slapping Cao Zhile’s face, it was slapping the face of the Cao Family, even slapping the face of Cao Hong himself.

Cao Hong said coldly, “It seems you really don’t want to get out of this door today!”

Cao Hong’s tone was full of pressure.

Perhaps others would be deterred by Cao Hong’s words, considering the Cao Family he represented.

But Hao Jian had never been intimidated by anyone.

Does anyone really think Hao Jian was scared into obedience?

Hao Jian didn’t speak, but continued to look straight at Cao Hong.

Cao Hong seemed to get caught in that gaze, suddenly startled, stumbling back onto a chair.

His eyes were full of fear.

From just a glance into that gaze, he found himself trapped, unable to escape, and the fear within him grew bigger and bigger.

When his gaze finally broke away from Hao Jian, so did his fear.

Too terrifying!
