Supremely Talented Tyrant

764: Chapter 763: So…

Sorry!

764 -763: So…

Sorry!

“Thank you for putting aside past grievances and saving my life,” Zhou Fan mustered his courage and expressed his gratitude to the indifferent Hao Jian.

Yet, as the words left his mouth, he began to worry that Hao Jian might not accept his thanks…

Hao Jian felt nothing upon hearing Zhou Fan’s gratitude, merely nodding faintly to acknowledge it before he resumed chatting with Zhao Yating, paying no further attention.

Young Master Fan actually said thanks?!

Although Hao Jian didn’t care, that didn’t mean others felt the same.

Li Ming, who had grown up with Zhou Fan, certainly cared; he knew Zhou Fan’s character well.

From childhood, aside from his parents and elders, Zhou Fan had never had the habit of thanking his peers.

At best, this habit could be described as arrogance; at worst, it was disdain.

“Hao Jian.”

Suddenly, Zhao Yating poked Hao Jian to get his attention toward Zhou Fan.

Only then did Hao Jian shift his gaze back to Zhou Fan, and looking from him to Zhao Yating, he immediately understood why she had poked him.

Wasn’t it just to make him clear to Zhou Fan that there was no possibility between them?

Thus, Hao Jian felt quite frustrated.

Why was it always him who had to play the bad guy?

However, seeing Zhao Yating’s tearful eyes, he could only relent.

After all, the reason Zhao Yating wanted his help to pretend to be her boyfriend was to make Zhou Fan give up.

Yet he hadn’t expected that after all this effort, it still fell on him to spell things out.

Therefore, Hao Jian directed his gaze toward Zhou Fan, who still looked somewhat pale, then stepped forward toward him.

“Shall we talk for a moment?” Hao Jian said as he approached, gazing indifferently at Zhou Fan.

His expression was impassive, betraying none of his thoughts.

“No need, I know what you mean.”

Zhou Fan shook his head, a bitter smile playing on his lips, then turned to Li Ming, who had been splattered with his vomit, and said, “Why don’t you go change your clothes first?

There’s a bathroom on the second floor.

I’ll call someone to bring you some clothes.”

“Okay.”

At those words, Li Ming paused, then glancing at Hao Jian, he nodded in realization and headed straight for the bar’s second-floor staircase.

However, this staircase had a door secured with a keypad.

Li Ming took out a card, swiped it, and with a beep, the door opened, and he went upstairs.

Zhou Fan had deliberately sent him away, knowing full well what he was doing.

Although their surface relationship was that of master and servant, they were actually close friends privately.

They understood each other’s glances and gestures well.

Li Ming wasn’t worried about Zhou Fan getting into any trouble; at least the current Zhou Fan wouldn’t get irrationally angry.

“I never asked your name,” Zhou Fan said with a smile, extending his hand to Hao Jian as he watched Li Ming leave.

“Forget it.

Just don’t think about that girl anymore, a forced melon isn’t sweet,” Hao Jian shook his head then also extended his hand, shaking Zhou Fan’s, saying, “Hao Jian.”

“Yo?

Having fun, nephew Zhou Fan?” Just as Zhou Fan was about to continue the conversation, a sudden voice interrupted from behind him, and Hao Jian saw a burly middle-aged man smiling at Zhou Fan.

“Oh… Boss, nothing serious, just chatting with a guest,” Zhou Fan replied with a slight change in his expression, respectfully addressing the newcomer.

Zhou Fan wasn’t very familiar with the bar’s owner, only gradually coming to know him through business dealings with his father.

This bar owner’s identity had come up one evening in a conversation with his father, who concluded that even the Family Head of the Zhao Family had to show him respect.

Such a person was not someone Zhou Fan could afford to provoke.

Of course, while Zhou Fan knew of the owner’s distinguished identity, he wasn’t clear about the specifics of his business.

The bar, one of the owner’s assets, was hosting the birthday party primarily to curry favor with him, hoping to make a good impression.

The cost of booking the bar just for the evening was over three hundred thousand yuan, not counting the night’s food and drink expenses.

The cost was painful even for Zhou Fan, but it was a necessary sacrifice, encouraged by his father.

Yet unexpectedly, the owner appeared at this moment.

Seeing the owner, Zhou Fan’s face broke into a polite smile, his eyes showing respect as he moved forward to speak.

But suddenly, the owner’s demeanor changed, and he started walking briskly towards Hao Jian…

When Zhou Fan heard what the owner said next, his expression turned wonderfully complex.

“Mr.

Hao Jian, how come you are here?

Ah, to meet such a distinguished person like you truly is a fortune of three lifetimes!

Hello, hello, I am the owner of this bar…” As soon as the owner approached Mr.

Hao, he immediately showed a flattering expression, nodding and bowing to Mr.

Hao, “I never expected you to visit my humble bar, your presence really glorifies my modest establishment!”

“You are the owner of this bar?”

Seeing the manner of the bar owner, Mr.

Hao also knew that the guy had recognized his background, and he did not bother to correct it since he had never thought of hiding his identity; he had originally thought no one at the birthday party would recognize him, but it seemed he had been mistaken.

When observing how the crowd’s expression changed as the owner came forward, it was evident that the owner’s background was extraordinary, at least in their eyes.

Yet now that he recognized Mr.

Hao’s identity and with his current attitude, it seemed as though his status could very well be comparable to that of the Zhao Family Head!

Such a conjecture could be seen from Zhao Fan’s attitude.

“That’s one way to put it, this is merely one of my ventures.”

The bar owner, nodding and bowing, quickly answered upon hearing Mr.

Hao’s question.

“Who is this guy?

Why does the owner show him such respect?!”

All of the guests knew the owner’s reputation which was enough to command respect, solely from owning this bar; however, the specifics of the owner’s identity were unknown to them – most were like Zhao Fan, warned by their elders not to provoke the owner.

Now, seeing the owner’s deferential attitude toward Mr.

Hao, the guests’ expressions changed slightly. freewebnøvel.com

A person of such status, stooping to bow and scrape to what they deemed a beggar!?

Just how high was this man’s status?!

At that moment, panic surged among the guests.

You say you are someone of status and position, so why can’t you dress decently to let us recognize you’re no ordinary person!

Insisting on wearing beggar’s clothes, damn it!

Even if you want to “impress,” don’t do it now!

“We’re done for!

Will he hold a grudge?

We’ve said quite a few disparaging things about him!

Is this the end for us?”

“Damn!

I hadn’t even thought of that!”

“F*ck!

He’s playing us off-guard, my fragile heart is wounded…”

“We need to find a way to make him forget about this!”

As everyone saw the owner nodding and inadvertently looking as if he wanted to lick Mr.

Hao’s boots, they realized they were in trouble, murmuring among themselves, trying to think of a way to resolve the conflict with Mr.

Hao.

However, they hadn’t realized that Mr.

Hao hadn’t paid it any mind…

“Hmm, your bar is not bad…”

Mr.

Hao, uninterested in dealing with the guests, glanced over at the bar owner and toyed with a glass on the bar, chuckling.

“Sir, if you’d like, feel free to take it, but I do hope you can help me out in the future.” As soon as the bar owner heard Mr.

Hao compliment his bar, his smirk widened, and he pat his chest and waved his hand grandly, although he added a small request afterward.

“Forget about the bar.”

Shaking his head, Mr.

Hao immediately refused without a second thought.

Sometimes, favors could be quite troublesome, and Mr.

Hao certainly was not fond of owing them.

“Haha, true, given your status, sir, my little bar wouldn’t interest you.” The bar owner was not surprised by Mr.

Hao’s response, and he laughed heartily.

Just as he was about to try and maintain a closer relationship with Mr.

Hao, Zhao Fan’s voice filled with puzzlement came from behind him…

“Boss, is Mr.

Hao’s status not ordinary?”

Although the owner was impatient with Zhao Fan interrupting his conversation with Mr.

Hao, seeing Mr.

Hao nearby, he did not voice his annoyance but his expression was a bit sour.

If it weren’t for knowing Zhao Fan’s father and not wanting to lose face in front of Mr.

Hao, he would have sent Zhao Fan away already.

“I don’t know how Old Zhao could have such a clueless son; I also don’t understand how you managed to invite a man of Mr.

Hao’s stature to your birthday party.” The owner shook his head helplessly.

This kid didn’t know Mr.

Hao’s status yet managed to have Mr.

Hao attend his birthday party, although it was all due to a melodramatic love affair, he hadn’t expected Zhao Fan to be such a blockhead!

“Let me put it this way, trust me when I say these few words, you’ll understand why I have such an attitude…” The owner spoke indifferently, then uttered a statement.

“Mr.

Hao Jian is the legendary behind-the-scenes owner of Shu Ya Group!”
