Chapter 1016: Chapter 1005: If You Want to Challenge Asura, You Must First Get Through Me
Dragon City Branch Company.
It’s late at night; under the embellishment of city neon, the starry sky is dim.
Ouyang Feifei escorted Ning Fan all the way to the company’s entrance, gently straightening his clothes and softly said by his ear, “I’m going to rest at the company tonight; you should go back early.”
“Even if you need to organize internal affairs, there’s no urgency to do it now. Come back with me.”
Allowing Ouyang Feifei to straighten his clothes, Ning Fan smiled and said slowly.
“If I go back with you, in what capacity would it be? It’ll be awkward to face Sister Ruolan; I’d rather stay inside the company.”
Ouyang Feifei sighed gently; her eyes filled with some resentment, she said softly, “During the day while working at the company, I don’t have to think much, but as soon as it’s off-duty time, why do I feel like I’m the extra person in this world?”
It’s already close to nine o’clock in the evening; if Ning Fan hadn’t just boldly reorganized the company, directly abolishing the positions of the marketing and business department managers, it might not have been so late to finish work.
But even so, work will eventually be done.
Even though the rest of the affairs were already in Ning Fan’s control, Ouyang Feifei still chose to stay in the company and continue working overtime.
“A day or two is fine, but the branch company has already been established. Are you really going to stay at the company all the time?”
Ning Fan didn’t know how to handle this matter, so he avoided the main issue and started discussing Ouyang Feifei’s living conditions.
“Otherwise, what to do? Open a room next to your hotel room and hide a beauty?”
Ouyang Feifei cast him a flirtatious glance and gently leaned against Ning Fan’s shoulder, speaking softly like an orchid scent, “I have no objections, as long as you are willing to come over at night, I will keep the door open for you anytime.”
“Cough, cough… let’s just maintain our working relationship, don’t think too much.”
Feeling a bit awkward, Ning Fan stepped back, keeping a suitable distance from Ouyang Feifei.
“Rest early; I will solve the accommodation problem for you as soon as possible.”
Ning Fan wasn’t foolish; he knew what was on Ouyang Feifei’s mind, but now there were myriad affairs at hand, and coupled with what he had just learned about his background from Zhao Xue’er.
At this juncture, there’s no need for romantic entanglements.
Pretending not to notice the resentment in Ouyang Feifei’s eyes, Ning Fan took a deep breath and boldly walked out of the company, heading forward.
Walking quietly on the streets of Dragon City, Ning Fan intended to go directly back to the hotel where Xu Ruolan was staying.
A strange feeling suddenly cloaked him, giving him an ominous premonition.
“Is it an illusion?”
Ning Fan frowned slightly.
His many encounters with danger had made him cautious.
With a calm expression, Ning Fan walked through the crowded commercial street, seemingly aimless but deliberately leading himself into a secluded alley.
On a bustling commercial street, even if someone was discovered following him, it would be nearly impossible to pin down who they were.
Ning Fan simply pretended to be unaware, deliberately exposing himself to danger, luring the pursuer into action.
As for his safety, he didn’t overly consider it.
What a joke! If any ordinary cat or dog could have their sights on him, then the Asura name wouldn’t be so famed on Jianghu, inciting deep-seated fear and tremors from anyone who had heard of it!
“Should be coming out now.”
In silence, Ning Fan stopped in his tracks, coldly speaking toward a deserted spot.
No one answered his question.
The surroundings were silent, as if Ning Fan was talking to himself.
“Boring.”
Ning Fan shook his head, a touch of helpless smile on his lips, proceeding forward.
His eyes full of disdain; no matter how powerful, such characters hiding in the dark couldn’t earn his respect.
“Stop!”
Just as Ning Fan was about to step out of the alley, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out.
“Swish!”
The sound of fabric rustling in the still night was incredibly piercing.
Seven or eight masked black-clad figures suddenly emerged from all directions, surrounding Ning Fan.
Looking at the bulging presence at these masked figures’ waists, Ning Fan raised an eyebrow, speaking calmly, “Who sent you?”
“That’s something you don’t need to know!”
A tall burly figure amongst the masked ones stepped out, speaking with a hoarse voice.
Clearly, it was him who stopped Ning Fan earlier.
He was the leader of the masked figures.
“How did you discover us?”
The leader’s face, hidden under a mask, furrowed deeply, his eyes full of vigilance.
Their stealth skills were already at their peak, combined with their familiarity with the streets surrounding Dragon City; there was absolutely no way they could be discovered.
Yet, he was discovered by them.
“You don’t need to know those things.”
Ning Fan had no interest in explaining further, raising an eyebrow, standing firm, ready for action.
If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If someone offends me, I will offend them!
Has the name Asura been inactive for so long that the world has started to forget?
Ning Fan sneered.
“Are you ready to act? I advise you to think clearly. We’ve already cut off all your paths. You think you can take on all of us by yourself?”
The masked leader, seeing Ning Fan’s stance, furrowed his eyebrows deeper.
From the beginning, he hadn’t seen a trace of fear in Ning Fan’s demeanor.
Not even a shred!
Who is this person, why doesn’t he fear us?
Having seen many who were frightened beyond their wits by him, the leader found this increasingly puzzling.
“I’ll give you two choices.”
Without hesitating for long, the task given by his superior was paramount.
The masked leader held up two fingers and said gravely, “Either you turn around and leave Dragon City, never return in your lifetime, and I spare you.”
“Or…”
The masked man grinned grimly, “We send you to the next world!”
“So tedious.”
Ning Fan sighed, rubbing his wrist, unwilling to exchange words with these low-leveled assassins.
Just as he was about to make a move, a sudden gust came at him.
Accompanied by a clear female shout!
“If you wish to harm Lord Asura, you must pass me first!”
Without anyone noticing, a pretty figure suddenly stood in front of Ning Fan.
Ouyang Feifei had appeared.
Instead of returning to the company for overtime as she had said, she secretly followed Ning Fan.
With her understanding of Ning Fan and her own high-level stealth skills, not even Ning Fan noticed this.
