Chapter 1324: Chapter 1324

As soon as the words were spoken, a group of people in black behind Hao Jian immediately prepared to take action with great momentum.

Right then, a deep voice interrupted them.

Everyone looked up to see Xin Badao, wearing sunglasses and a black suit, walking out from the manor.

The provincial capital branch has now been handed over to the Lin Family, and Tang Ming’s forces have contracted to Songlan City.

Chu Batian is responsible for secretly protecting Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli’s safety, Chen Cang handles affairs in Songlan City’s business sector while also presiding over the secret laboratory, and Xin Badao is tasked with overseeing the manor base.

Seeing the visitor, Hao Jian sneered, "Your subordinates are quite unruly, daring to stop me, the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team, from inspecting work. That’s quite bold!"

Xin Badao approached the door with a gloomy expression, glanced at the beaten disciple from the Poison Sect, and coldly looked at Hao Jian, "Group Leader Hao, you beat my Poison Sect disciple without any reason, and now you’re still being so aggressive. It’s not quite appropriate, is it?"

"He blocked my inspection work, so he deserved to be beaten."

Hao Jian disdainfully curled his lips and arrogantly said, "I’m now taking over the manor base, so report your work to me promptly."

"Heh, did you make a mistake somewhere?"

Xin Badao sneered dismissively, looking mockingly at Hao Jian, "Look carefully, this place is not the territory of the Martial Arts Inspection Team."

Hao Jian was taken aback, confused as he looked at Xin Badao.

"Take a good look, this is the Poison Sect’s resident of the Martial Arts Alliance’s branch."

Xin Badao pointed to a plaque on the right side of the gate and solemnly said, "This manor has absolutely no connection with your Martial Arts Inspection Team."

"You—you yourself are a member of the Martial Arts Inspection Team, and now you want to set up your own sect, is that a rebellion?"

Hao Jian’s face turned gloomy, angrily glaring at Xin Badao.

"Sorry! When you took over the position of Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team, our Poison Sect disciples all withdrew from the Martial Arts Inspection Team. This manor is what we reclaimed, and the property rights belong to Young Master Tang."

Xin Badao coldly laughed, disdainfully looking at Hao Jian, "Publicly, this is the site of the Martial Arts Alliance, unrelated to your Inspection Team; privately, it’s Young Master Tang’s private property, who gave you the nerve to cause trouble here."

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian’s face changed unpredictably, not expecting things to be .

Ignoring Hao Jian, Xin Badao looked at the beaten disciple from the Poison Sect, "For being my Poison Sect disciple, you got beaten and can’t even utter a word. With you being so cowardly, can I trust you with the task of guarding the mountain gate?"

The beaten disciple lowered his head and wiped his eyes, feeling wronged.

"Who hit you? Hit them back double, or you’ll shame Young Master Tang."

Xin Badao continued to reproach angrily, "Young Master Tang can’t have useless people under his command."

The young security guard nodded vigorously, then looked at Hao Jian with a malicious intent.

"What do you want? I’m the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team, you’d better not act rashly."

Seeing this situation unfold, Hao Jian’s face turned cold.

As soon as he finished speaking, his group of black-clad men stepped forward to shield Hao Jian.

"Overestimating yourself."

Xin Badao disdainfully curled his lips, stomped his foot fiercely, and transformed into a shadow that cut into the crowd, sending those black-clad men flying.

One by one, they crashed heavily to the ground, screaming miserably.

Hao Jian was utterly panicked, not expecting these people to not only set up their own sect but now even dare to lay hands on him, the Group Leader of the Dark Group’s Inspection Team, too unruly.

"Enough with the nonsense."

Xin Badao grabbed Hao Jian by the shoulder and lifted him in front of the young security guard, "How he beat you before, hit him back double."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the young security guard immediately slapped Hao Jian three times, using all the strength he could muster.

"You, you dare to hit me, I won’t let you all get away."

Hao Jian, with a bloody nose and mouth, roared angrily, dizzy from the impact.

Xin Badao tossed Hao Jian to the ground and contemptuously cursed him, "Do you really think the Dark Group Martial Arts Inspection Team is a powerful department? Young Master Tang single-handedly developed the Inspection Team into prominence, without him, it’s just a name. If you really have the capability, you should develop it further yourself, then try to act tough in front of me."

"Get lost, or I’ll cripple all of you."

Xin Badao didn’t give Hao Jian the chance to speak, coldly shouting with fury.

Poison Sect disciples charged out with weapons, ready to fight at any provocation.

Seeing the situation, Hao Jian was immediately intimidated, scrambling into the Range Rover, embarrassing himself as he hastily fled.

"A fool trying to freeload, really considers himself significant."

Xin Badao disdainfully cursed, turning back to the manor, shouting with assurance, "Next time there’s a disturbance , release poison directly, killing people counts on me."

A chorus of voices responded from the Poison Sect disciples.

Having been slapped several times, Hao Jian drove away from Songlan City, unable to bear staying in this treacherous place.

"Group Leader, where should we go now?"

The driver looked at Hao Jian, with a bruised face, and humbly asked.

"These damned bastards dare to lay hands on me, I won’t let them off."

As he wiped away the blood, Hao Jian cursed through gritted teeth, "To the provincial capital, Songlan City is Tang Ming’s domain, he has the ability to keep it as his, the provincial capital isn’t his territory, I don’t believe he can keep it."

The driver responded, promptly accelerating towards the provincial capital.

The provincial capital’s Ming Group branch had been built as a Ming Group office building initially, then used as the Ming Group’s branch, even though Tang Ming took it over successively twice, only occupying usage rights, not transferring ownership.

Though Tang Ming lacks the capacity to privatize it, it doesn’t mean others can’t.

When Hao Jian reached the provincial capital branch, a group of workers was cleaning the Sun Moon Building, seemingly preparing to remodel it into an office tower.

"Young Master, shall we go in directly?"

After parking the car, the driver looked at Hao Jian anxiously.

"I... will first send someone to scout, see if there are any of Tang Ming’s men around."

This time, Hao Jian acted wisely, avoiding rash actions and sending people to check the situation first.

Soon, a black-clad member of the Hao Family ran back excitedly, "Young Master, I’ve already gotten the info. This place has no connection to Tang Ming or the Martial Arts Alliance, the renovation workers said they’re turning this into a company’s corporate building, it seems the Dark Group has requisitioned this building to establish a branch."
