Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 672 - 673: Outsmart by a Notch

Although the bomb was small, its power was comparable to that of a C4. The entire shopping center descended into chaos in an instant, with people scattering and fleeing in all directions amidst extreme confusion.

If the Seven Sins had wanted to do something at that moment, they would have been utterly helpless to stop it.

"The operation failed. We're all injured," Yu Jiayi panted into the radio, blood cascading from a severe wound on her right shoulder.

The injuries of the other Dragon Tooth members were almost as bad as hers, and it was only then that Yu Jiayi realized they had underestimated their opponents' intellect. The enemy was far more cunning than they had imagined.

The enemy must have noticed Moon Goddess Jiang carrying a package when she entered the shopping center, so they had prepared an identical package in advance and placed it in the trash bin. Then, they found a scapegoat to retrieve the package, which looked the same on the outside but was marked, from the bin, and after the bomb was set off, they could retrieve the real deal.

All of them were injured now, and even if the enemy were to brazenly take the items now, they would be unable to stop them.

Upon hearing Yu Jiayi's report, Moon Goddess Jiang and the others were all stunned. Had they failed to rescue the person and even risked their own lives in the process?

If the enemy found out the item in the trash bin was fake, they would likely kill to silence anyone involved immediately.

"Captain, it's our fault. We fell for their trap!" Seeing Moon Goddess Jiang speechless, Yu Jiayi and the others were filled with self-reproach. As Huaxia's most elite unit, they had been played by outsiders, a fact they found deeply shameful.

"What about the document bag in the trash bin? Is it still there?" Moon Goddess Jiang's voice changed with urgency, no longer in the mood to blame them.

"The item was taken by someone when we weren't looking!" reported a Dragon Tooth member who had gone to investigate.

Moon Goddess Jiang immediately staggered, almost collapsing to the ground, and cried inconsolably, as if her soul had left her.

At this moment, the queen could no longer maintain her pride. She was now a desperate mother, a woman loathing her own helplessness.

She felt numbness all over, even on her scalp, and squatted down crying, undoubtedly tasting the sorrow of loss, from initial sobbing to the outright wails of despair.

Right then, Moon Goddess Jiang even forgot to remove her radio, allowing all Dragon Tooth members to hear her heart-wrenching cries, similar to a mother beast mourning the death of her offspring.

Instantly, everyone's heart twisted in empathy. They had never seen Moon Goddess Jiang in such a state before, and because of that, they understood the immensity of her pain.

The pain she was experiencing was far worse than death itself.

All Dragon Tooth members were at a loss for words, feeling heavy-hearted, pitying Moon Goddess Jiang and filled with hatred towards the Seven Sins.

"Giving up so soon?" Suddenly, a mocking voice entered everyone's radios.

"Hao Jian?!" Yu Jiayi was dumbfounded. Was this guy actually making jokes at a time like this? Or had he discovered some valuable intelligence?

And even Moon Goddess Jiang was momentarily taken aback, sensing something in Hao Jian's relaxed tone.

"Hao Jian, where are you now?" Moon Goddess Jiang asked urgently.

"Me? I'm just following my quarry," Hao Jian said with a playful laugh, his eyes flashing coldly. He was currently sprinting across the rooftops of a group of buildings, with a cloaked figure also dashing swiftly ahead of him.

At these words, everyone was immediately elated, rushing outside. Had Hao Jian actually located a real member of the Seven Sins?

At the start of the explosion, Hao Jian had seen a cloaked figure take something from the trash bin amidst the chaos. Although the figure moved quickly, taking the item without pausing as they passed the bin, they couldn't deceive Hao Jian.

"He truly lives up to the founder of Dragon Tooth, far smarter than us," an overjoyed Yu Jiayi exclaimed. With Hao Jian on the trail of one of the Seven Sins, there was still a chance to turn the situation around.

"Is Xiaolu in his hands?" Moon Goddess Jiang asked anxiously.

"No, he is alone. If I'm not mistaken, they were never planning to let Xiaolu go easily, or perhaps they had no intention of releasing her at all," replied Hao Jian. But that was to be expected. Knowing the Mercenary Alliance, they were not the type to be easily negotiated with.

Moon Goddess Jiang had stolen their property, destroyed their lab, and arrested so many of their scientists; it was understandable for them to seek revenge on her.

"What?" Moon Goddess Jiang's expression turned icy. So, from the beginning, they had been playing her for a fool?

"Don't worry. They will pay for their arrogance," Hao Jian's icy voice resonated, permeating everyone's minds. "I'll find them... I'll kill them all!"

"Bang!"

As soon as Hao Jian's voice fell, his feet suddenly kicked out, instantly breaking through the roof, while his body pounced forward like a hunting falcon, pressing a hand onto the opponent's head.

Pride, having obtained the fake genetic code, hadn't noticed anyone trailing him until he was pressed to the ground when he finally realized the situation.

"Who are you?" Pride asked with shock. He had been mocking the Dragon Tooth in his heart as brainless fools, but the next moment, he found himself subdued.

Moreover, the opponent's action was so swift that he had no chance to react.

Over here, Moon Goddess Jiang and the others heard the sounds of fighting and Pride's roars through their headsets, leaving them stunned. Was Pride, one of the Seven Sins, subdued by Hao Jian that easily?

"Where is she?" Hao Jian asked coldly, his voice chilling.

"I hadn't expected that among Dragon Tooth there would be an expert like you, perhaps even surpassing Moon Goddess Jiang herself," Pride said, not answering Hao Jian's question directly, but instead taunted with a smile.

He admitted he had underestimated Dragon Tooth. He thought his plan was foolproof, that he could deceive everyone at Dragon Tooth, but he didn't expect someone to detect their ploy.

Any other person might have fallen for their trick, but while everyone else was fooled, Hao Jian alone remained sober and uncovered their conspiracy.

Most importantly, Hao Jian had subdued him as soon as he acted, displaying both courage and strategy. Pride absolutely refused to believe such a person could be an unknown underling.

"Crack."

Hao Jian broke Pride's leg, but throughout the process, Pride didn't even grunt once, his calmness bordering on frightening.

Narrowing his eyes and with an angry tone, Pride asked Hao Jian, "What are you doing?"

Although the Dragon Tooth members couldn't see what was happening, they could hear it. Even though Pride was their enemy, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at his fearlessness.

"Tell me, where is she?" Hao Jian spoke again, his voice growing even more grim. Pride was calm, but Hao Jian was even calmer, no, one might even say more ruthless.

"Kill me. I won't tell you," Pride scoffed. If he were afraid of death, he wouldn't have made it this far.

"I know you're not afraid of death, but someone like you should know, to make a person speak the truth, there are methods other than threats of death," Hao Jian said with a sinister smile, then pulled out a syringe from his chest: "This, I specially prepared for you on my way here, hope you like it!"

Then, Hao Jian directly injected the syringe into Pride's neck, pushing all the purple-red liquid inside.

Following that, Hao Jian used chains made from fine steel to lock him up.

About a minute later, Pride began to rub his chest and shoulders frantically with his chin; his entire face turning red.

"What... what have you done to me?" Pride roared, feeling something wrong with his body. Every inch of his skin itched unbearably, not just on the surface, but inside as well, as if thousands of insects were gnawing at him, the pain was excruciating.

"This substance was created by someone called Demon Master, and it has a very cute name, Caterpillar. Why is it called Caterpillar? Because anyone injected with this venom will feel as if every part of their body, including all their internal organs, has been stung by caterpillars, an insufferable itching sensation, only a thousand times more intense."

"In two more minutes, your body will become stiff; you won't even be able to move your tongue, making it impossible for you to commit suicide by biting your tongue; after five minutes, that itching will reach a peak, so unbearable you would wish for death; and after ten minutes, you will beg for mercy due to this insufferable sensation, unable to live or die, on my floor."

Hao Jian's lips curled into a cold smile: "If I don't kill you, you absolutely won't be able to kill yourself, and although the drug will stiffen your body, it will also increase your sensitivity. Moreover, this drug is mixed with a potent stimulant, you can't faint to escape these feelings. Normally, it would take a week for you to be tortured to death. However, as far as I'm aware, nobody has been able to last even a day."

Listening to this, not only Pride, but even Moon Goddess Jiang and the others felt their scalp tingle at the thought of such an evil thing, a torture method that seemed gentle yet was cruel.

Pride stopped talking and stared at Hao Jian viciously, wishing he could tear a piece of flesh from him.

After ten minutes, Pride finally experienced the truth in Hao Jian's words; his eyes bloodshot, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his facial muscles constantly twitching.

"I'll tell you where they are, but I advise you it's best not to look for them, because they will show you what true fear is!" Pride capitulated.

"Fear? For a god who has scattered death among mortals, I am quite clear about what fear is," Hao Jian said with a scoff.
