909: Chapter 898: The Seventh Piece of Nine Souls Jade?
After returning to Zhonghai, Ning Fan continued to refine his swordsmanship and cultivation.
His Sword Intent had already begun to take shape.
The final strike he comprehended during his battle with Konstantin had given him even more inspiration about wielding the sword.
Besides cultivation, what occupied Ning Fan’s thoughts the most was the matter of the Nine Souls Jade.
Had Teng Yun Geshang truly “forgotten” about this matter?
The seventh piece of the Nine Souls Jade—Ning Fan could hardly wait to see it.
But the prerequisite was that Teng Yun Geshang would actually honor his promise.
After dealing with Konstantin, the Umbrella organization had lost an arm.
However, their threat hadn’t diminished significantly.
“Now that Konstantin is gone, even though the Umbrella has lost a limb, with Teng Yun Geshang now being their number one, the entire Umbrella organization stands united.
Is this truly a good thing?”
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ning Fan had just finished his cultivation and began pondering the affairs of the Umbrella organization.
After so thought, Ning Fan ultimately ca to a conclusion: this developnt was a mixed blessing.
Although the Umbrella organization was now single-mindedly cohesive under Teng Yun Geshang’s leadership, Konstantin’s death had also caused a significant shock.
anwhile, Ning Fan had obtained what he desired: an opportunity to enhance his power through the Nine Souls Jade, which would gradually minimize the Umbrella’s threat to him.
But the crux of the matter was whether Teng Yun Geshang would truly deliver the promised reward in the end!
“If Teng Yun Geshang doesn’t give it to , then I’ll just have to take it myself!”
Ning Fan didn’t mind clashing with Teng Yun Geshang.
He had every justification to confront him.
The agreent was clear: after Konstantin was dealt with, he would receive the remaining piece of the Nine Souls Jade.
That piece rightly belonged to him!
Of course, saying this was one thing, but if the ti ca, Ning Fan knew it would be a headache.
A confrontation with Teng Yun Geshang wouldn’t be a simple matter; it would be a battle of wits and hidden blades all over again…
Sotis Ning Fan yearned for a good fight, while at other tis, he loathed it.
This contradictory feeling was sothing he had never experienced before…
“Could it be because I now have people I care about?”
Ning Fan let out a bitter laugh, and the images of Xu Ruolan and Huo Qiuran imdiately appeared in his mind.
When one has attachnts, one also gains concerns.
Ning Fan could disregard his own safety, but he would certainly worry about Xu Ruolan and the others!
“However… no one will harm them as long as I’m still around!”
Ning Fan’s expression hardened with resolve.
He vowed silently that, as long as he still drew breath, no one would dare lay a finger on Xu Ruolan, Huo Qiuran, or any of the people close to him without first stepping over his dead body!
With this thought, Ning Fan realized the long road ahead of him.
He imdiately returned to his cultivation state, for he dared not rest even for a mont.
To face the impending threats, he needed to grow stronger as fast as possible.
Ti passed slowly, and before he knew it, it was already afternoon.
It was in the afternoon that Ning Fan received a call from an unexpected guest.
“Lord Asura, it feels like ages since our last eting.
How have you been since returning to Zhonghai?”
It was Fei Peilie’s voice, though Ning Fan couldn’t tell from where he was calling.
Hearing Fei Peilie’s voice, Ning Fan’s lips curved into a slight smile.
“How could I compare to you?
So, Teng Yun Geshang is now the leader of the Umbrella organization, correct?
Looks like my dear grandson has really made sothing of himself.
As your grandfather, I couldn’t be prouder!”
“…”
Fei Peilie was rendered speechless by Ning Fan’s words.
mories of their ti in New York City resurfaced, particularly when he had, under dire circumstances, addressed Ning Fan as “grandfather.” That mont was deeply etched in his mind.
Given this history, Fei Peilie couldn’t find a good way to retort.
He was both angry and powerless to counter Ning Fan due to Ning Fan’s overwhelming strength.
All he could do was let Ning Fan act as smug as he wanted.
“Lord Asura, there’s sothing I assu you haven’t forgotten, right?”
Fei Peilie quickly switched topics, hoping to avoid further discussion about their “family hierarchy.”
Hearing this, Ning Fan’s eyes lit up.
Though he had already guessed what Fei Peilie was alluding to, he still asked, “What do you an?”
“We still owe you a final reward, Lord Asura.
Could it be that you’re not at all anxious about it?”
The Nine Souls Jade—Fei Peilie doubted that Ning Fan wouldn’t care about it.
Indeed, it was about the Nine Souls Jade.
Hearing Fei Peilie’s tone, Ning Fan was pleased.
He replied imdiately, “In that case, aren’t you going to hand over the reward soon?
Teng Yun Geshang shouldn’t be the kind of person to go back on his word, right?”
“Of course.
Lord Teng Yun Geshang has always been a man of his word.
That’s beyond doubt!”
Fei Peilie answered proudly, though inwardly he grumbled to himself.
If not for Teng Yun Geshang’s unyielding nature, they would never have agreed to give Ning Fan this piece of the Nine Souls Jade.
Even though the Nine Souls Jade was rightfully Ning Fan’s, handing it over ant further boosting his strength, which posed an even greater threat to the Umbrella organization.
“So, when do you plan to give it to ?”
Ning Fan asked eagerly.
The idea that the Umbrella wouldn’t renege on the deal was a pleasant surprise for him.
He had suspected Teng Yun Geshang might try to default on their agreent, but reality proved otherwise.
While Teng Yun Geshang was undoubtedly a sly old fox, he took promises seriously and rarely reneged on deals.
Because of this, Ning Fan found himself harboring a sliver of respect for Teng Yun Geshang.
However, this didn’t stop him from silently labeling the man as an old fox.
Back in New York City, he had been drawn into Teng Yun Geshang’s sches more than once.
“Right now.”
“Right now?
Where?”
Ning Fan asked with so surprise.
Could Fei Peilie already be in Zhonghai?
“Lord Asura, you’re at ho right now, correct?
Open your door and take a look.
The item should already be delivered!”
Fei Peilie suggested.
Hearing this, Ning Fan imdiately put on his slippers and rushed downstairs to the front door.
When he opened it, he found a courier clad in a delivery uniform just arriving.
“Hello, I have a package for you.
Are you Mr.
Ning Fan?”
“Yes, that’s !”
Ning Fan confird while holding his phone, his eyes locked onto the package in the courier’s hands.
If his guess was correct, the Nine Souls Jade should be inside.
After signing for the package, Ning Fan couldn’t wait to tear it open.
“The Nine Souls Jade—the seventh piece of the Nine Souls Jade!”
At last, he had obtained the seventh piece of the Nine Souls Jade!
Ning Fan bead excitedly at the jade lying in the package and couldn’t help but laugh loudly.
Just then, the phone at his ear ca alive again, with Fei Peilie’s voice once more.
