490: Chapter 489: Amazon Rainforest 490: Chapter 489: Amazon Rainforest Chen Fengnan, who had been silently standing behind, eagerly stepped forward to smooth things over only after Ning Fan had dealt with Ah Dian.
He moved forward with a smile and said, “Alright, alright, why start playing the moment we meet?
We are here for serious business.”
Being a clever man, Chen Fengnan effortlessly diffused a potentially explosive situation with his casual mention of ‘playing’.
He looked composed, with a slight smile on his face, still bearing the appearance of a businessman.
Even though he had resolved the situation, his expression betrayed no other emotion.
A person’s expressions are the best indicators of their mental activity, but if you can’t read anything from someone’s face, that suggests they are extremely intimidating, or at least, very cunning.
Ning Fan didn’t want to completely fall out with these guys here, so he casually released a few of them.
Ah Yu was alright since she hadn’t really attacked Ning Fan, but the other three were visibly upset.
Being made fools of by Ning Fan was a very uncomfortable feeling for them.
Moreover, they usually followed Chen Fengnan and only dealt with other businessmen, even if they were from the underworld.
Their abilities were absolutely sufficient to cruise through any trouble.
Being made fools of was not a common occurrence for them.
But this guy called Ning Fan was different.
The three of them felt deeply humiliated being so easily thwarted by Ning Fan right in front of them.
The other two might be okay, as their speed and strength were blocked by Ning Fan while he dealt with others, proving their inferior skills.
But for Ah Dian, hypnotism had always been a source of pride.
However, in front of Ning Fan, Ah Dian realized his abilities were completely useless.
The brief lapse he experienced earlier told Ah Dian that he had lost, and not just him, but the other two as well.
In duels between masters, a brief distraction could lead directly to severe consequences, and under the assault of Ning Fan’s spiritual power, they had been utterly dumbfounded.
Although it was for a short time, for a master like Ning Fan, it was long enough to kill them several times over.
After Ning Fan released them, they glared at him.
Although they were still indignant, they knew they were no match for Ning Fan and reluctantly stepped aside to clear the path.
It seemed no matter what, they were not going to be able to intimidate Ning Fan.
What choice did they have after they had messed with Ah Yu?
She was the only woman in their team and was treasured by everyone as if she were the apple of their eye.
The plane took off, and the four of them sat nearby, with Ning Fan taking a seat by himself.
Across from Ning Fan was Chen Fengnan.
“We are quite fortunate to have you on this trip; otherwise, I reckon my chances would have been slim,” said Chen Fengnan as he poured a glass of wine for Ning Fan and then one for himself.
Ning Fan looked up at Chen Fengnan, a bit surprised.
He turned to look at the Four King Kongs not far away and asked, “With them here, you had no confidence?”
Ning Fan thought about it more.
These four were no ordinary people.
Although they had been defeated by Ning Fan, they would have had no problem dealing with ordinary people or even some international mercenaries.
But even so, taking them along had still made Chen Fengnan feel such significant danger that he had felt compelled to rely on Ning Fan.
What exactly was he up against?
Chen Fengnan didn’t hold back and nodded slightly, “To be frank with you, that’s true.
If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have any confidence in this trip.”
“You say it’s a business trip, but given that it’s business, isn’t it strange that there’s such great danger?” Ning Fan wouldn’t simply believe Chen Fengnan’s words and asked outright.
Chen Fengnan smiled and took a sip from his glass before continuing, “You know, I am a businessman, and I am indeed very wealthy now, but that’s not enough.
You might think I’m very ambitious,
and in fact, I think so too.
Power is like a drug that you can’t quit.
I believe I can achieve better development, and I must achieve better development,
so sometimes I must do things.
If I didn’t take any risks, then I might not be sitting across from you now, but rather a total failure.”
Ning Fan chuckled.
Although he was very wary of Chen Fengnan, he could tell that these were Chen Fengnan’s true feelings.
He raised his glass towards Chen Fengnan, “No venture, no gain, I understand.
Don’t worry, on this trip, I’ll ensure you are safe and sound.”
Chen Fengnan also raised his glass and clinked it with Ning Fan’s.
Both men downed the contents of their glasses in one go, exchanged a glance, and burst into hearty laughter together.
The plane landed at the international airport in Brazil.
As soon as they landed, there were people arranged by Chen Fengnan to meet them.
The arrangement was impressive, several black SUVs, all lined up with burly men in black suits for protection, Ning Fan finally experienced the kind of treatment reserved for important people.
It was also evident that Chen Fengnan was being extremely cautious on this trip.
However, what puzzled Ning Fan was, why were they picked up by SUVs?
Chen Fengnan seemed to have noticed Ning Fan’s confusion and explained, “I feel very uneasy here; abroad it’s certainly not as comfortable as back home.
I feel uncomfortable even staying a second longer than necessary here.
Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble and potential dangers, we are heading straight to the Amazon Jungle.”
Ning Fan nodded, understandingly.
Indeed, Huaxia was famous for its public safety internationally.
Brazil might not be particularly chaotic, but given Chen Fengnan’s unique status, the chances of encountering danger here were still substantial.
To avoid any complications, Chen Fengnan decided not to stay here and instead drove directly to the Amazon Jungle.
That’s why they ended up in these rigorously designed SUVs.
The Amazon Rainforest, covering an area of 7 million square kilometers, accounts for half of the world’s rainforest area and 20% of the forest area, making it the largest and most species-rich tropical rainforest in the world.
Such a vast area also made it a haven for criminals.
Think about it, with such a massive rainforest, hiding a person would be all too easy.
Finding someone here would be tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, organizations that fight crime would not generally want to come to such a place unless absolutely necessary.
Because it is not only a haven for criminals, it also serves as a secret base for major drug trafficking groups and some terrorist organizations have established their dominion here.
The distribution of power is indeed too chaotic.
