Chapter 395: Chapter 393: Enjoy Watching Your Performance
Xiao Jintian spoke with an expression of great enjoyment, and once again blew a puff of smoke gently towards Qin Hao, this time directly at Qin Hao’s face.
Qin Hao leaned back against the chair without moving a muscle. The puff of smoke drifted towards his face but dispersed to the sides as if encountering an invisible barrier.
“I don’t really like smoking, and I dislike second-hand smoke even more. So, you’d better put out the cigarette.”
Qin Hao said this without making any visible movement. He only leaned slightly forward, and in the blink of an eye in front of Xiao Jintian, a cold light flashed, and the burning tip of the cigar in Xiao Jintian’s mouth was slashed off.
Upon closer inspection, Qin Hao was playing with a finely crafted little knife used for cutting cigars in his hand.
A flicker of panic passed across Xiao Jintian’s face, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.
For Qin Hao to appear in front of him like this, all the bodyguards and alarm systems in this house must have already been dealt with by him. Xiao Jintian discreetly groped a few times on one side of the sofa until he quickly pressed a discreet floral pattern decoration on the sofa.
After doing all this, he seemed to have regained his confidence, feeling backed by something, and his spirits lifted instantly. He looked at Qin Hao and coldly smiled before saying, “Qin Hao, your strength is indeed not weak. Among those I have seen, you can rank in the top ten.”
“No need for unnecessary words, use this time wisely to think about your last words.”
Qin Hao’s tone was calm, and in his heart, he was naturally very disdainful. In this world, those who could surpass him could hardly be counted on one hand. The dignified Night Emperor did not need anyone’s approval or evaluation at all.
Xiao Jintian was merely putting on a pretense to buy time.
But today, he would never understand that not only did Qin Hao want him dead, but he also wanted him to exhaust all his trump cards and means, then die miserably in eternal regret.
Qin Hao not only wanted to kill but also to crush his spirit!
Seeing Qin Hao like this, Xiao Jintian’s expression also turned cold. He stared at Qin Hao’s face, then mockingly said:
“Qin Hao, do you think that by infiltrating my home and sitting in front of me, you have me in the bag?”
“Haha, even if I, Xiao Jintian, sit defenselessly across from you, you still wouldn’t be able to kill me!”
Qin Hao gently wobbled the knife in his hand and then said, “Oh? So you think your throat is tougher than this knife?”
Xiao Jintian snorted coldly and said, “The power behind me is as vast as Mount Tai. Do you really think you can contend with me on your own? The so-called wrath of a commoner, with blood splattering five steps and the world dressed in mourning, is just a story made up by scholars.”
“Qin Hao, the power I wield is beyond what your lowly status and the limits of your impoverished imagination could ever conceive in this lifetime.”
Qin Hao remained expressionless upon hearing these words. He looked at Xiao Jintian and slowly said, “You, you’re wrong. I’m not the wrath of a commoner; I’m the wrath of a king.”
Xiao Jintian immediately snorted with laughter, while Qin Hao continued calmly, “As for the forces you control, they’re nothing but a ragtag bunch of worthless birds and beasts. Just go ahead and call people. If they can stop you for a second, I’ll admit defeat.”
A hint of joy immediately appeared on Xiao Jintian’s face. This kid was so arrogant; today, I must humble him!
With this thought, he dialed Zheng Tiancheng’s number directly.
However, the phone rang for dozens of seconds, and no one answered.
Xiao Jintian’s brow instantly furrowed; this was the number for his direct line to Zheng Tiancheng. Under normal circumstances, Zheng Tiancheng would answer within three seconds of the phone ringing.
However, now, as he delayed in picking up, Xiao Jintian immediately had a bad premonition.
Qin Hao watched leisurely with an amused smile, lounging against the chair, as he sized up Xiao Jintian.
Xiao Jintian feigned calmness with a cold snort, then tried another number.
This time, the phone rang for over ten seconds before someone leisurely picked up.
“Hello, Mr. Xiao, what can I do for you?”
Ma Dazhi’s voice lazily came through.
Hearing his tone of lethargy, Xiao Jintian’s anger surged, and he immediately said coldly, “Vice Gang Leader Ma, is this the attitude you have towards me? I think your time as Vice Gang Leader is coming to an end!”
“Oh? Then Mr. Xiao, what kind of attitude do you think I should have towards you?”
Ma Dazhi’s tone remained cheeky, his lazy drawl nearly making Xiao Jintian slam the phone down.
He shouted in anger, “Ma Dazhi, I’ll deal with you later. Where’s Zheng Tiancheng? Give him the phone. How’s the matter of consolidating all the underground forces going?”
Upon hearing this, Ma Dazhi chuckled softly on the other end, then said, “Xiao Jintian, if you’re looking for Zheng Tiancheng, you’re not going to find him. I just buried him a moment ago, and the new soil on his grave is still wet.”
Xiao Jintian was shocked upon hearing this. Just as he was about to speak, Ma Dazhi continued, “From now on, the Wolf Fang Gang and your Xiao Family have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Stop dreaming. From now on, not just the Wolf Fang Gang, but all underground forces in the entire Provincial Government have a new owner.”
“Who’s the new owner? Who dares to consolidate my forces in my Xiao Family’s territory!”
Xiao Jintian said this through gritted teeth, his face grim.
But Ma Dazhi continued to mockingly laugh, “Hahaha, don’t worry, you’ll find out as soon as you go down to meet Zheng Tiancheng!”
After saying this, Ma Dazhi just laughed loudly and hung up the phone,
Listening to the beeping busy tone in the receiver, Xiao Jintian slammed his hand heavily on the table, his face darkening!
Bang!
“Qin Hao, the new master these stray dogs have switched to is you, isn’t it? Heh, you do have a few tricks up your sleeve. I really need to reassess you now.”
Qin Hao smiled without speaking, while Xiao Jintian, with a gloomy expression, continued, “But if you think that taking over a bunch of stray dogs chewing on bones behind my Xiao Family gives you the qualification to confront me, you’re sorely mistaken.”
“I, Xiao Jintian, am as rich as a nation. I can have as many of these stray dogs as I want just by letting some crumbs fall through my fingers. Relying on these to contend with me, Qin Hao, is naively optimistic!”
Qin Hao straightened up slightly and then said, “Alright, then I’ll just keep watching your performance. Since you’re as wealthy as a nation, are you planning to use money to crush me now?”
His tone carried sarcasm, and upon hearing this, Xiao Jintian directly took out his phone, logged onto the dark web through an agent, and entered the renowned international assassin organization’s forum, the Black Rose website.
After entering, he proudly waved it in front of Qin Hao, then said, “Have you seen this? The world’s top assassins are all on here.”
“Today, I, Xiao Jintian, am here to show you that money is omnipotent in this world!”
