Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 668 - 669: Old Friend’s Daughter

"You..." Vivian was so angry she felt like vomiting blood, knowing all too well that Hao Jian, that bastard, would definitely do it.

"Tell me, and I'll make it quick for you, otherwise you'll die without any dignity," Hao Jian reminded her once again.

Vivian glared fiercely at Hao Jian, wishing she could tear a piece of flesh from his body.

"This is my dad's tattoo," Vivian said resentfully, still feeling oppressed as she chose to compromise.

"Your dad's tattoo?" Hao Jian's eyes showed shock, then he looked towards Crazy Faction beside him.

Crazy Faction's face was also full of confusion, also taken aback by this revelation.

"Did you know he had a daughter?" Hao Jian asked.

"I've never heard of it." Crazy Faction shook his head, then asked, "Could this woman be lying?"

Hao Jian glanced at Vivian, then shook his head, "That's highly unlikely. She doesn't know the relationship between him and me, and with that person's personality, he wouldn't tell his family our affairs."

Vivian and the others were baffled, not understanding what Crazy Faction and Hao Jian were talking about.

"What's your dad's name? And what about your mom?" Hao Jian asked Vivian.

"Why should I tell you?" Vivian huffed, but as soon as she spoke, she saw the icy look Hao Jian shot her.

"My dad is Zhao Zhichu, I don't know about my mom, just that she is a Western woman." Vivian said defiantly, feeling extremely stifled as if Hao Jian had completely overpowered her.

Hao Jian and Crazy Faction's expressions changed slightly, and Hao Jian sighed, "It seems there's no mistake then."

"I never expected Xueci to have a daughter," Crazy Faction was equally surprised.

"There's nothing strange about it, that guy is like that, separating his personal and private life strictly, probably not telling us to protect her," Hao Jian looked at Vivian with a complex expression, no wonder he felt a familiar sensation when he first met Vivian.

"You know my dad?" Vivian was instantly stunned, as she too knew her father's nickname was Xueci, once the most powerful assassin in an Assassin Organization in the Underworld.

All her life, Vivian had been tracing her father's footsteps, yet she didn't even know what her father looked like.

She only knew that her father loved her dearly, always finding ways to protect her, striving to let her lead a normal life, and leaving her a huge fortune after his death.

Vivian had always idolized her father, hence she tattooed his tattoo on her own body. By that time, Xueci was already disfigured, with not an inch of intact skin on his body, only that tattoo clear enough for Vivian to copy, in memory of her father.

Hao Jian did not directly answer her question, but instead asked, "Who led you onto this path?"

As he spoke, a trace of Killing Intent seeped out of Hao Jian, Xueci had fought so hard to protect Vivian, naturally wanting her to live like an ordinary person. But who exactly led Vivian down this misguided path?

There were several times Hao Jian almost accidentally killed her. If it weren't for his sharp eyes spotting Vivian's tattoo today, he would have killed her outright. How could he face Xueci on the Netherworld Road if he had really done so?

So now, Hao Jian was very annoyed, and he intensely despised the person who led Vivian astray.

"Assassins Alliance!" Vivian did not hide it, openly spilling everything, as she could tell that Hao Jian and Crazy Faction must have known her father, and probably were his friends.

At her words, Hao Jian immediately squinted his eyes, feeling surprised yet somehow expecting such an answer from Vivian.

This world hosted several powerful organizations like the Mercenary Alliance, Assassins Alliance, known collectively as the Four Great Forbidden Zones, ruled by the four monarchs.

And these monarchs were Hao Jian's enemies, the reason why was simple, because Hao Jian was 'divine', and they were kings!

They wanted to pull Hao Jian from his divine throne to crown themselves as gods!

For such powerful beings, there were almost no things left in this world that could capture their attention. They already had power, authority, and not to mention beauty and wealth - what they desired was prestige, the glory of being in the spotlight!

And Hao Jian, recognized as the most powerful entity in the Underworld, defeating him would earn them even greater honors.

"Training my brother's daughter to use against me, the Assassins Alliance is indeed merciless," Hao Jian scoffed coldly.

At his words, Vivian suddenly felt startled, wondering if that was the real purpose behind the Assassins Alliance training her.

"Are you my dad's brother?" Vivian looked at Hao Jian skeptically.

"Indeed, your father was my best brother; we had been through life and death together," Hao Jian responded.

"Impossible, my father was a member of the Assassins Alliance, and those from the Assassins Alliance can't possibly have friends," Vivian could not believe it, wondering how an assassin could possibly have friends.

Every different identity comes with its own way of survival. Mercenaries often group together, whereas assassins tend to work alone; assassins cannot possess emotions or have friends, because you can never predict if the next person to die by your hand will be a friend or family.

"He used to be a member of the Assassins Alliance, but later he served me, and we became brothers." Thinking of this, Hao Jian still had some regrets—had he not pulled Xueci out from the Assassins Alliance back then, perhaps he wouldn't have died?

"What proof do you have?" Vivian glared at Hao Jian, still unwilling to accept that such a detestable scum could actually be her father's brother. Did that mean she would have to get along with him peacefully in the future?

"Proof? I don't need any proof," Hao Jian shook his head and then said to the Crazy Faction, "Let her go."

So, the Crazy Faction released her; since she was the daughter of an old friend, Hao Jian naturally could not bring himself to kill her.

"Can you tell me what your purpose is for coming to Huaxia?" Hao Jian was curious about what the Assassins Alliance had sent Vivian to Huaxia to do.

"To kill a person and, incidentally, bring my father's ashes back to my country to be placed beside my grandmother," Vivian honestly answered, though she had not yet managed to find her grandmother.

"Then can you tell me who the person you intend to kill is?" Hao Jian seriously suspected that the Assassins Alliance wanted Vivian to kill was himself.

"That's confidential, I can't say," Vivian muttered, looking somewhat displeased.

"Okay, I won't force you. You're free to leave now," Hao Jian said with a smile.

"Leave? You...you're setting a trap for me, aren't you?" Vivian did not move, feeling like Hao Jian might be trying to deceive her by investigating her identity and pretending to be her father's friend to get close to her.

"Think whatever you want; you are free to go. From now on, let's not meet again," Hao Jian said, waving his hand with a smile.

"You're really letting me go?"

"Really letting you go!"

"No traps?"

"No traps."

Vivian was confused, almost as if she were a monk unable to feel the statue's head, wondering how she could be alive and free to leave. Could this man truly be her father's brother?

"What, you don't want to leave?" Hao Jian teased.

"Can I change into some clean clothes?" Vivian asked somewhat sheepishly, as she was in such a disheveled state—if she went out looking like this, wouldn't others treat her like a beggar?

"Go downstairs and buy her some women's clothes," Hao Jian instructed Tie Shan, and after handing them a stack of money, they hurried off.

"While they're away, let me speak privately with you. Do not return to Wenying's side. Since I've let you go, he will never trust you again, and it might even get you killed. Furthermore, it's best if you don't go back to the Assassins Alliance either, believe me, those guys are definitely not your friends," Hao Jian explained. When he had taken Xueci away from the Assassins Alliance, he had already become their number one enemy.

Now that the Assassins Alliance was using Vivian against him, their malicious intentions were indeed infuriating.

"What I do is none of your business. Don't think just because you've let me go, you have any right to boss me around!" Vivian coldly said, her eyes glaring angrily at Hao Jian. She still hadn't fully trusted Hao Jian, who was now bossing her around, which made her very unhappy.

Hao Jian just shrugged his shoulders, saying no more.

Before long, Tie Shan returned with the newly purchased clothes, and Hao Jian led Vivian to Shu Ya's office, which had a bathroom she could use to bathe and change into the new clothes.

After taking a bath and changing into the new clothes, Vivian expressionlessly said, "Don't think just because you've let me go that I'll be grateful. I cannot forget the humiliation you caused me before, and I will still kill you if I get the chance. So, if you want to kill me, you better do it soon."

Hao Jian shrugged his shoulders and gestured for Vivian to leave.

Vivian looked suspiciously at Hao Jian for a while, and once she was sure he wouldn't attack her, she finally turned and walked away.

"Why let this child leave when she has become a puppet of the Assassins Alliance? We should have rescued her," the Crazy Faction couldn't understand Hao Jian's thought process. He was actually letting Vivian return to the Assassins Alliance?

But Hao Jian just shook his head, smiling ruefully, "Do you think she'd believe the words of an enemy like me, or the words of the Assassins Alliance that has raised and trained her for over a decade? Forcing her to stay would do more harm than good; she must discover the truth on her own."

"Besides..." Hao Jian's expression became serious, shaking his head with a smile, "The kings of the four forbidden zones must already know I'm not dead, or else they wouldn't send Vivian to Huaxia. I thought I could lead a peaceful life, but it seems I can't escape this curse after all."

The Crazy Faction stood by his side, unsure how to offer comfort.
