"It's just that our Shu Ya Group doesn't need anyone else's help, and of course, we don't mind having an extra hand either." "So what do you plan to do?" After hearing this, Shu Ya looked at Hao Jian, her beautiful eyes blinking slightly. Hao Jian saying this meant he already had a plan. Upon hearing this, Hao Jian suddenly broke into a smile, his eyes revealing a sudden coldness: "What do I plan to do?" "Naturally, I'll comply with those guys' wishes!" "Since those guys are so eager for me to participate in this tournament, why shouldn't I go? Previously, I didn't go because I thought it wasn't necessary to care about these small fries. But now that these small fries have meddled in my affairs, it's no longer a trivial matter." Hao Jian's lips curved downward slightly, a bit of anger in his voice: "Even a clay figure has some temper; how could I not be angry? If they mess with me, they shouldn't expect to walk away easily." Earlier, Hao Jian hadn't planned to pay attention to this farce, but now those people had gone too far, threatening away all but one of the manufacturers he had painstakingly brought over. If he couldn't reclaim this situation, by the time he returned to Huaxia and let those guys and even his subordinates know, perhaps they would laugh at him to death. And his enemies would think that he had either chickened out or become weaker, surely leading some fearless enemies to probe him. This kind of annoying probing was something Hao Jian disliked the most, so whether to avoid being underestimated or because of these guys' provocation, Hao Jian had to act. But what angered Hao Jian more was these guys' actions. It was like an elephant suddenly being bitten by a few small ants one day; the pain wasn't much, but the anger would naturally rise. "Then when do you plan to go?" Shu Ya looked at Hao Jian, her gaze indifferent. She had absolute confidence in Hao Jian's strength, and she was also angered by these so-called experts. This was her company, after all, and now that it was being messed with, how could she not be angry? Hao Jian didn't answer Shu Ya. Instead, he looked up at Kuo Tianzheng, his tone carrying a chill: "Immediately take the letter of agreement over, tell them I've agreed to their tournament, but the timing must be tonight! I don't want any more accidents, let's just solve it quickly!" After saying this, he turned to Shu Ya and asked, "How many more days are we staying in East Ocean?" "If nothing unexpected happens, once this matter is settled, we can leave anytime. After all, without my presence at the headquarters in Huaxia, things are somewhat difficult." Upon hearing this, Hao Jian stroked his chin and said to Kuo Tianzheng, "Kuo Tianzheng, Shu Ya and I will leave in three days. I hope you can get everything done within these three days. At least before we leave, I want to see this company in East Ocean stabilized!" Hearing this, Kuo Tianzheng immediately straightened his expression and said solemnly: "Chairman Hao, as long as there's no more interference from those people, I can assure you that it will only take one day to get the company back on track."... "That would be best!" Hao Jian waved his hand, gesturing for Kuo Tianzheng to leave: "Go and let those guys know that I'll be there tonight, and I hope they've set up the tournament and are waiting for me!" Kuo Tianzheng quickly nodded, took a few quick steps, and left the office. However, the worry on his face had not lessened much. This time they were facing the three great experts of East Ocean! Hao Jian could defeat one of them, Yamamoto Ichiro, but that didn't mean he could defeat the others. Furthermore, there's a chance that these three might team up, and if they did, Hao Jian might not even have a chance of winning. However, Kuo Tianzheng could not defy Hao Jian's orders, so he could only comply with Hao Jian's wishes and go down to do what he was instructed to do. If worst came to worst, he would gamble everything, get all the help he could to protect Hao Jian from those three. After all, the Shu Ya Group could not function without either Shu Ya or Hao Jian. At least in Kuo Tianzheng's mind, Hao Jian's identity was mysterious, while Shu Ya claimed he was the chairman, making it hard for outsiders to understand their relationship. Originally, many people were dissatisfied with the sudden appearance of Chairman Hao, but none of the top officials voiced any objections. Instead, they spoke highly of Hao Jian in public settings. If there wasn't some intrigue behind this, Kuo Tianzheng wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death. ..................... "He agreed! That Huaxia person agreed!" Inside villa number five or six, Ota Shun, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them upon hearing a voice transmission. Once his eyes focused, he saw a figure walking in from the doorway, and upon a closer look, it was Ogawa Sho, whom he had sent out. Ota Shun's face was calm, as if he had expected it. A smart person would undoubtedly agree to his martial arts tournament. After all, all the subordinates of that Huaxia guy had been taken out, so if he wasn't going to give them trouble, who else would he target? "Yes, he agreed!" Ogawa Sho's face was brimming with joy. If he could defeat this Huaxia man, his reputation would surely rise! "Just now, the head of Shu Ya Group's East Ocean branch called my men to say that the Huaxia man agreed to participate in our tournament!" Upon hearing this, Ota Shun's face revealed a subtle expression of satisfaction. He clapped his hands once, saying, "Send someone immediately to prepare the arena for me. It was supposed to be used a few days ago, but clean it up now. I don't want our guests to collapse on a trash-ridden stage." "Also, get all those people here as the audience, whether it's the producers who've terminated contracts with Shu Ya Group or that stubborn Nakajima Corporation; get all those heads here. I want to show publicly that the Huaxia is not reliable!" Upon hearing this, Ogawa Sho flashed a look and nodded. Originally, he intended to claim these matters for himself, but seeing Ota Shun was evidently prepared, it wasn't easy for him to intervene, especially since the cost was quite high. "By the way, where is Sato?" After giving orders, Ota Shun suddenly noticed someone was missing, showing a puzzled look. "He's still on his way. I've already sent the message to him, and he's rushing over by car..." said Ogawa Sho. "Good, let Sato Hikaru get some rest; tonight there's going to be a fight. And once you've completed these tasks, you should rest too. I don't want any issues causing mistakes." "Remember, this arena match is one we cannot afford to lose!" Ota Shun's face showed a sinister expression. He couldn't allow his well-prepared plan to be wrecked by Ogawa Sho or Sato Hikaru. If Hao Jian lost, he'd simply be unable to stay in East Ocean. But if they lost, perhaps no one in East Ocean would want them. And the three of them, outside East Ocean, would be treated as nobodies; such a situation was absolutely humiliating for those accustomed to being on top. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵 So in dealing with Hao Jian, they had made a unanimous decision that only by taking care of Hao Jian could they salvage their reputation in the subsequent plans. That evening, Hao Jian and Shu Ya arrived at Villa Number 56 in Kuo Tianzheng's car. Looking at the somewhat familiar villa, Hao Jian smiled faintly. Unexpectedly, after causing a big stir that night, now they were going to cause another big scene here. But what would the villa's owner, Nakano Yuta, think? As Hao Jian imagined, the owner of the villa was currently on the top floor, looking down, his face turning grim as he stared at the temporary arena in the middle of the small lawn. Nakano Yuta turned his head. At a small table nearby, Nakajima Kaichuu sipped coffee leisurely, seemingly unconcerned. "Nakajima, aren't you worried about that guy?" Nakano Yuta looked dissatisfied, saying to Nakajima Kaichuu, "You're aware of Ota Shun's power and the forces behind them, even I dare not mess with them." "Now I've even given up my villa, while you're just going against those three guys? They aren't targeting you yet, not because they fear your power, but rather because they're dealing with that Huaxia guy first. Once they've handled him, the first person they'll target to show their might is you!" Upon hearing this, Nakajima Kaichuu snickered, smiling at Nakano Yuta, "I understand you're worried about me, but you also know I never engage in pointless actions. Since I've aligned with Shu Ya Group, I'll stand firmly on their side." "I firmly believe that Shu Ya Group will win!" As he said this, Nakajima Kaichuu's gaze twinkled meaningfully. Nakano Yuta looked distressed, wanting to say more, but the words eluded him once they reached his lips. Ultimately, he sighed, "Do as you wish!" "In any case, I hope this matter settles quickly. My Villa Number 56 is now at the center of attention; if this doesn't get resolved soon, who will want to collaborate with me in the future?" Nakajima Kaichuu saw Nakano Yuta's troubled face and chuckled, yet couldn't offer comforting words. After all, that matter involved a secret, a huge secret. Hao Jian and others reached the entrance. Someone approached, face showing arrogance.
