Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 625: Rugby Challenge

"What's wrong?" Hao Jian and Che Xiaoxiao walked over and asked Luo Tong.

"This blonde wasn't satisfied with losing last time, so he wants to challenge us to another rugby match. Damn it, we don't even know how to play rugby; he's clearly just bullying us!" Luo Tong said, annoyed.

"Why not just refuse to play? What's there to be angry about?" Hao Jian said unconcernedly. Just because Benjamin wants to play something, do we have to go along with it?

"We don't want to bother with him either, but that bastard Qiu Chenggong has already spread the word, claiming we could surely beat Benjamin and his team. Now, even if we wanted to refuse, we can't," said Luo Tong, resigned.

Hearing this, Hao Jian frowned as well. Was Qiu Chenggong also causing trouble? And worse yet, teaming up with Benjamin and the other foreigners to bully their own people?

"I think Qiu Chenggong is targeting you out of spite, so he's intentionally causing you trouble," Che Xiaoxiao said. "Since Luo Tong and the others are your students, if they lose to Benjamin's team, for whatever reason, Minister Cao will start to doubt your abilities. Even if he doesn't doubt you, he'll certainly think less of you than he previously did. By then, he might just hand the Business School back to him."

Hearing this, Hao Jian snorted coldly. "The Huaxia of today is no longer the same place where people only bully their own. But treacherous scum like Qiu Chenggong, who only looks out for their interests, are still endless pests to be eradicated!"

"Teacher, what do we do now? We don't know the first thing about rugby. If we compete against Benjamin's team, we're sure to lose," Luo Tong and the others said nervously. They didn't want to be humiliated, but Qiu Chenggong had already agreed to the match. The outside world believed they could play rugby, and now, backing out would look like cowardice, which would be even more embarrassing than losing the match.

"It's only a game of rugby, what's the big deal!" Hao Jian scoffed, then strode towards Benjamin and his group.

Luo Tong and the others, puzzled by Hao Jian's confidence, followed him.

"What, did you not lose badly enough last time that you dare to show up again?" Hao Jian stood before Benjamin, mocking him with his question.

Benjamin snorted coldly, "This time, I'm going to ensure that your Chinese Medicine Hospital loses all face!"

"Just you?" Hao Jian's tone was mocking and disdainful as he glanced at the big guys behind Benjamin. "You think just because you've gathered a bunch of losers, you can run rampant in Huaxia? How naive."

"So, you're agreeing to a match with us?" Benjamin caught the hint in Hao Jian's words. This guy agreed to compete against them?

"One week, one week is all I need to train them to not just beat, but crush your elite rugby team!" Hao Jian raised a finger, full of confidence.

Hearing this, Luo Tong and the rest were dumbstruck. One week? How could they possibly win against these guys in such a short time?

"One week? Aren't you being a bit overconfident?" Benjamin laughed, then pointed at the rugby players behind him. "These are our school's most elite players. Each one of them has been playing rugby for over five years and has won our American University football championship. Your guys, who have never even touched a rugby ball—not in a week, not even in a year—could not possibly win against them!"

Upon hearing Benjamin insult them as useless, Luo Tong and the others couldn't help but get angry.

"I love seeing you full of confidence, only to end up beaten like dogs. Have you forgotten what happened before? You couldn't win a basketball game even by bribing the referee. What tricks are you planning to use this time?" Hao Jian jeered.

At these words, Benjamin's face turned bright red, clearly embarrassed by the memory.

Using dirty tricks and still losing was a major humiliation.

"Since you're so confident, I'll give you one week. After that, I'll see to it that you're utterly defeated!" Benjamin snorted.

Hao Jian laughed heartily, "Last time you lost and ended up kneeling publicly. I just wonder what the price will be if you lose again."

"Then I'll publicly declare that your Chinese Medicine Hospital is even better than Harvard University!" Benjamin said mockingly, believing there was no way Hao Jian could win.

"Our Chinese Medicine Hospital is already better than Harvard University, as proven last time. So your recognition means nothing to me," Hao Jian said with a dismissive smirk.

"Here's what we'll do: if you lose again, your team has to strip naked and run around the nearest subway station," Hao Jian joked.

"You want to humiliate Harvard University?" Benjamin instantly understood Hao Jian's intent. They were brilliant Harvard students, yet running naked would make a mockery of their esteemed institution if word got out.

"Heh, aren't you also trying to humiliate our Chinese Medicine Hospital?" Hao Jian scoffed. He was simply doing to Benjamin what Benjamin intended to do to them.

"Fine, I agree!" Benjamin said sternly, sure that Hao Jian and his team couldn't possibly win. Agreeing to such terms seemed inconsequential.

One week, to turn a group of novices into rugby experts, was a fool's dream.

Immediately, Benjamin laughed heartily and left with his group.

"Teacher, we really don't know the first thing about rugby, and you agreed to their request so quickly. We're bound to lose," Luo Tong lamented.

"Yeah, teacher, we only have one week to prepare. There's no way we can win," Zhang Jia said with a bitter face. Weren't they just being set up for a fall?

"What's the hurry? Don't you still have me? Didn't I help you win the last game?" Hao Jian said.

Even though he spoke confidently, Luo Tong and the others looked anxious. They had won before because they understood basketball. They could respond to what Hao Jian advised, but rugby was completely foreign to them. Now, with only one week to learn, how could they possibly master it?

Afterward, Hao Jian headed to Du Yuelin's office with Che Xiaoxiao. Just as they reached the door, they heard Du Yuelin quarreling with Qiu Chenggong inside.

"Who gave you permission to agree to this match? Don't you know that my students don't have a clue about rugby? You did this on purpose to make my Chinese Medicine Hospital look bad!" Du Yuelin said furiously.

"The Chinese Medicine Hospital and the Business School have merged. As the vice-chancellor of both, I certainly have the right to agree to this match. And how was I to know you didn't understand rugby? Seeing how well you played basketball last time, I thought you might also be good at rugby," Qiu Chenggong taunted, his face shamelessly smug.

"Didn't know? Do you think this is America? How many schools have a rugby field? And if you didn't know, couldn't you have asked me?" Du Yuelin was beside himself with frustration. He knew full well that Qiu Chenggong was doing this deliberately. They had already agreed to play against Harvard University, and they were bound to lose miserably.

"At your age, you'd bring shame upon our nation just to regain control of the Business School—are you living like a dog?"

"Du Yuelin, you need to have evidence for your claims. Do you have proof that I'm intentionally sabotaging your Chinese Medicine Hospital? I don't think so," Qiu Chenggong stated smugly, appearing utterly unconcerned.

He knew Du Yuelin had no evidence. As long as Du Yuelin couldn't produce any proof, he couldn't touch him.

"You traitor!" Du Yuelin wished he could give Qiu Chenggong a good beating.

"Watch your words or else I could sue you for defamation!" Qiu Chenggong chuckled, his face relaxed and pleased. The angrier Du Yuelin got, the happier he became.

"You!" Overwhelmed with anger and helplessness, Du Yuelin stared at Qiu Chenggong's thick skin.

Just then, Hao Jian pushed the door open and came in, chuckling, "Looks pretty lively in here."

Seeing Hao Jian, Qiu Chenggong's expression stiffened. He could ignore Du Yuelin, but he couldn't afford to treat Hao Jian lightly.

In Qiu Chenggong's mind, Hao Jian was far more frightening than Du Yuelin.

Turning to face Qiu Chenggong, Hao Jian said with a chuckle, "Being so arrogant as a traitor to the country—I guess you're the first of your kind, aren't you?"

"What proof do you have to accuse me of treason? Bring your evidence!" Qiu Chenggong snorted, rebuking sternly, "Don't think just because you put on a show in front of Minister Cao that you can act high and mighty. Let me tell you, I'm not buying it! Once this game is over, I want to see how your Chinese Medicine Hospital explains to the minister!"

"You probably think I wouldn't dare hit you, huh?" Hao Jian stared at Qiu Chenggong with a smile, "In the Chinese Medicine Hospital, many people know I have a quite a temper. Is it really a good idea to provoke me like this?"

"You wouldn't dare hit me? I'm a vice-chancellor!" Qiu Chenggong glared, but he felt a bit shaky on the inside, unsure if this young man might actually strike him.

This guy was always reckless.

Slap!

A resounding slap landed on Qiu Chenggong's face, sending him spinning until he collapsed onto the office desk.

Qiu Chenggong was utterly dumbfounded. Hao Jian had actually dared to hit him?

Che Xiaoxiao and Du Yuelin were not particularly surprised, for they both knew Hao Jian would certainly hit him; anything else just wouldn't be like Hao Jian.

"You dared to hit me?" Qiu Chenggong looked at Hao Jian in astonishment.

"Me? I'm the kind of person who resolves things with action rather than blabbering on," Hao Jian said with a cold sneer.

"Just you wait, I won't let this go. I'll make sure to report you to Minister Cao!" Qiu Chenggong seethed with rage.
