Chapter 994: Chapter 983: The Ace of Jiuyao Group
Su Xinghai’s brows were tightly knit, his hands still behind his back, but it was clear that all his muscles were tense.
The surrounding security guards also appeared far more serious than before, standing close to Su Xinghai and several other high-level personnel, ready to respond to any sudden situation.
“That’s right, among the nine brothers, the one with the highest cultivation is the second brother Tie Kuangzheng, but you’re lucky—he’s off negotiating with a client, finished just half an hour ago, and wasn’t able to rush over immediately.”
Even though he lost two great generals, Su Xinghai still maintained a confident demeanor.
“Isn’t he the lucky one? As the top expert Jiuyao Group can present, if he were to be thrashed here and lost faith in life, wouldn’t his reputation be ruined?”
Ning Fan shook his wrist, not sparing Su Xinghai a glance, and smiled at Xu Xiaoqing as if he had everything under control.
“Hmph, don’t be too arrogant. My second brother once participated in the decapitation operation in Europe, effortlessly sending several high-level personnel from Japan to the Yellow Springs Road.”
Su Xinghai’s eyes emitted traces of anger, his voice raised high.
Since the nine brothers entered the business world, the second brother had never met a rival in various disputes.
In fact, among the grudges and vendettas they’ve encountered, those who could withstand even one move from Tie Kuangzheng were rare as a phoenix feather.
If even Tie Kuangzheng, their last trump card, were defeated, they truly would have no face to remain in Zhonghai City.
Such a large group company, with hundreds of experts and nine military elites, unable to handle a nameless junior, what a joke!
“Sounds like there’s a bit of interest.”
Ning Fan nodded, his expression filled with a dismissive meaning.
In fact, when he reviewed Jiuyao Group’s relevant materials this morning, he found Tie Kuangzheng’s name quite familiar, and upon hearing that Tie Kuangzheng had executed missions in Europe, he vaguely recalled seeing the name on an intelligence report.
At this moment, footsteps echoed in the hall, and a tall figure swiftly appeared before Su Xinghai.
“Big brother, are you okay?”
The tall man who just entered asked Su Xinghai.
His skin was the healthy wheat color, despite wearing a business white shirt, three buttons were undone, exuding an aura of ruggedness and wildness.
“Second brother, I’m fine. Let’s settle the matter first.”
Su Xinghai said while casting a bone-cutting gaze at Ning Fan.
“Just him?”
Tie Kuangzheng also glanced over at Ning Fan, his eyes filled mostly with confusion.
His brows knitted tightly, as if recalling something.
“You… you look very familiar…”
Tie Kuangzheng’s upper eyelids lifted higher and higher, revealing traces of astonishment in his eyes.
Ning Fan curled his lips slightly, his expression indifferent.
“Not just familiar, is it? Make it clear, what have you thought of?”
Tie Kuangzheng’s lips quivered lightly, his breathing visibly disordered.
“Back on Sicily Island… briefly collaborated…”
Ning Fan’s right index and middle fingers alternated tapping on the crook of his left arm, his gaze lifted upward:
“Speaking of which, quite a lot happened on Sicily Island.”
Tie Kuangzheng looked down at the deep gorge left by Ning Fan’s single move defeating Qu Rulai, his face turning pale:
“You… are you really… Asura?”
“Genuine article.”
Ning Fan stood arrogantly, his voice like shattered jade.
Tie Kuangzheng’s brows suddenly jumped, immediately kneeling on one knee, bowing his head and clasping his hands, loudly saying:
“I didn’t know Asura was here in person. I’ve been discourteous, please forgive me, Iron Star!”
Tie Kuangzheng noticed traces of struggle all around the hall, with many security guards clearly injured, his heart already close to collapse.
Asura isn’t a role someone like Jiuyao Group can provoke!
His exaggerated performance was mainly to make his big brother realize quickly and have them as brothers bow and apologize to Asura; otherwise, Jiuyao Group would be finished today!
Su Xinghai too gasped upon hearing the name “Asura”.
Who among the frontline soldiers once crawling through Europe didn’t know of Asura? Who didn’t regard Asura as a target to aspire to?
Yet, as time went by, Asura gradually became a legend, and soldiers began to understand that Asura wasn’t a suitable life template because ordinary people, no matter how hard they work, simply couldn’t keep up.
When Asura finally disappeared, few still fantasized they could reach the same heights as Asura.
A legend ought to be unique.
Though Su Xinghai’s personality was quite stubborn, his years of business experience had made him rather adept at dealing with matters smoothly.
He knew that stubbornly confronting Asura would lead only to a dead end.
If he was alone, everything would be easy to say; losing his head would only leave a scar. But now he was the chairman of Jiuyao Group, with the future of over a thousand people in his hands. He had to carefully balance the pros and cons.
Ultimately, Su Xinghai leaned forward and clasped his hands:
“Honorable Asura, I, Su Xinghai, have eyes yet fail to recognize Mount Tai, repeatedly offending you, please forgive me!”
Ning Fan knocked his forehead lightly, a glimmer of joy shining in his eyes:
“Boss Su, you finally see the situation clearly. Now that you do, surely you know how to punish the misbehaving manager, don’t you?”
Su Xinghai nodded, immediately turned around, swung and fired a shot, accurately hitting the manager’s forehead.
The manager didn’t even have time to drop to his knees and plead before dying on the spot, body falling backward, eyes wide open in death.
“Serves him right!”
Xu Xiaoqing thought of how many sisters had been defiled by the manager, their lives ruined, and glared fiercely at his corpse.
Su Xinghai tossed the silenced pistol onto the ground and turned back towards Ning Fan, letting out a sigh:
“Asura, everything today is because I, Su Xinghai, have eyes yet fail to see, managed poorly, tolerated evil breeding allowed the villain,
it’s nothing to do with my brothers, they were merely obeying my orders. Please don’t trouble them.”
“Truth be told, your brothers indeed did nothing wrong; but for sheltering such a wicked dog determinedly, you bear no small sin.”
Ning Fan stepped forward two paces, eyes firmly fixed on Su Xinghai.
“Willing to bear punishment!” Su Xinghai responded in a firm tone.
“Alright, bow to me then, and promise never to employ treacherous and lewd individuals again. Then your sins will be cleansed.”
Ning Fan casually drew a diagonal line in the air with his right hand.
“This…”
“What, do you feel your dignity is more precious than my aunt-in-law’s chastity?”
Ning Fan reverted to a stern expression and asked Su Xinghai.
“Su Xinghai would never dare to think so! Back then, Yue Fei and Yue Wumu knelt before tyrant emperors day in day out yet remained upright and proud, not to mention I’m kneeling before a peerless hero today!”
With those words, Su Xinghai dropped to his knees, bowing his head before Ning Fan.
