686: Chapter 675: Comparable to Werewolf Forces 686: Chapter 675: Comparable to Werewolf Forces Due to Tengyun Gegeshan, Ning Fan didn’t stroll for long on the street before he returned to Chen Fengnan.
With the concealment of the Mingwang Pavilion, their recent affairs had decreased considerably.
Even the matter concerning the friend of Chen Fengnan had been resolved, and now, Ning Fan was ready to return home.
“Mr.
Ning, you’re back, I thought you would wander around a bit longer.”
It was Chen Fengnan himself who greeted Ning Fan upon his return, accompanied by the Four King Kongs—Feng, Yu, Lei, and Dian—as well as Ouyang Feifei.
The Four King Kongs by Chen Fengnan’s side had all sustained various degrees of injury in the last battle, with Dian being the most severely wounded.
However, with several days of rest, everyone’s injuries had healed quite well, and with the treatment from Ning Fan’s True Qi, their misfortunes had turned into blessings, and they had each experienced considerable increases in their strength.
“Things are almost coming to an end here, and I need to prepare to go back,” Ning Fan said, as he no longer needed to, and if possible, he wanted to return to Huaxia as soon as he could.
The appearance of Tengyun Gegeshan had once again stirred Ning Fan’s worries.
To be honest, he was somewhat afraid that this person would target those close to him in the future.
Especially considering the unfathomable strength of this individual, Ning Fan realized that he needed to hasten his efforts.
There were many mysterious people like Tengyun Gegeshan in the world, and as of now, his own strength was still insufficient.
Noticing Ning Fan’s preoccupied mind, Chen Fengnan couldn’t refrain from asking, “Mr.
Ning, what’s wrong?
You seem burdened with heavy thoughts…”
“It’s nothing, just encountered a strange person, that’s all.”
Ning Fan waved his hand, indicating Chen Fengnan need not worry.
“If you need help, just ask, Mr.
Ning.
If there’s anything Chen can do, he will do his utmost.
And even if it’s beyond my ability, I will find a way.”
“…Then have you heard the name Tengyun Gegeshan?”
After some thought, Ning Fan decided to speak the name of Tengyun Gegeshan.
Initially, he had no expectations, but when he saw the shock on Chen Fengnan’s face upon hearing the name, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
Upon hearing that name, Chen Fengnan’s expression froze.
Even the normally composed man showed such surprise after hearing the name, it was clear the impact it had on him.
“You know about him?”
Ning Fan looked at Chen Fengnan in shock.
At the same time, the Four King Kongs also looked at Chen Fengnan with the same expression.
They, too, rarely saw Chen Fengnan react in such a manner.
Chen Fengnan managed to calm down slightly and a bitter smile gradually formed on his face as he looked at Ning Fan.
“Mr.
Ning, how did you encounter this Tengyun Gegeshan?”
How could Chen Fengnan not know about Tengyun Gegeshan?
The deep-sea behemoth known as Umbrella was well-known to Chen Fengnan.
Moreover, Tengyun Gegeshan was the number two figure within Umbrella, a person ordinary people couldn’t possibly know about.
In the heyday of Umbrella, it was a colossal entity.
When Chen Fengnan asked about what exactly had happened, Ning Fan explained his encounter with Tengyun Gegeshan on the streets of London.
“…This Tengyun Gegeshan must be related to the Mingwang Pavilion!”
Previously, Tengyun Gegeshan had told him that if Ning Fan was willing to join him, the Mingwang Pavilion could change ownership and be given to Ning Fan as a gift.
Ning Fan still remembered those words from Tengyun Gegeshan, so he was convinced that Tengyun Gegeshan had connections with the Mingwang Pavilion.
After listening to Ning Fan’s account, Chen Fengnan shook his head helplessly, feeling extremely troubled by the connection between Tengyun Gegeshang and Mingwang Pavilion.
“Mr.
Ning, there’s something you may not know.
This Tengyun Gegeshang is the second-in-command of the Umbrella organization.
Are you familiar with Umbrella?”
“Umbrella?
Biohazard?”
Ning Fan blinked, recognizing the term Umbrella, but he was familiar with a different one.
Chen Fengnan couldn’t help but laugh a bitter laugh.
The Umbrella organization associated with Tengyun Gegeshang was not the same as the one Ning Fan was talking about.
The real-life Umbrella organization was truly terrifying, with power so vast it was unimaginable.
“It’s a long story, Mr.
Ning.
Umbrella is a massive organization with far-reaching connections.
At its peak, it was on par with the Western Werewolf Family and the like of the Vampire Family in terms of strength.”
Vampires?
Werewolves?
A twitch ran through the corner of Ning Fan’s eye.
It seemed that the world he had seen was just the tip of the iceberg, just as Tengyun Gegeshang had said.
“Nowadays, these two great families have gone into seclusion, and Umbrella’s prominence has faded over time, but they are still not to be underestimated.
To them, Mingwang Pavilion is probably just a chess piece that can be discarded at any moment.
But after all, Mingwang Pavilion belongs to them.
This matter has now involved Umbrella, and we must both take it very seriously!”
Chen Fengnan looked at Ning Fan seriously.
Umbrella was not to be trifled with, and becoming involved with such an organization meant their situation had become extremely complicated.
Now that they had taken action against Mingwang Pavilion, Umbrella would definitely not sit idly by.
Opposing Mingwang Pavilion was tantamount to offending the protective Umbrella organization behind it.
Thinking about this made Chen Fengnan’s head ache.
Though Umbrella was no longer as powerful as it was at its zenith, it was still enormous.
Having once stood shoulder to shoulder with the Werewolf Family and Vampire Family, known for their long histories, Umbrella’s depth was unfathomable!
“Umbrella, interesting.
It looks like that person wasn’t boasting after all…”
Ning Fan mumbled to himself.
Hearing what Chen Fengnan had said, his expression grew more serious.
According to Chen Fengnan, Umbrella was indeed not an adversary to be taken lightly, and Tengyun Gegeshang’s claim that he could make Ning Fan president was not an idle boast.
“Mr.
Ning, what did Tengyun Gegeshang want from you?”
Ning Fan’s previous story about his encounter with Tengyun Gegeshang did not include the latter’s attempt to recruit him.
Therefore, Chen Fengnan was particularly concerned about what Tengyun Gegeshang’s true purpose was.
His greatest worry was that Umbrella would directly turn hostile towards them.
If that were the case, it would indeed be trouble.
Even the Chen Financial Conglomerate would have to be prepared to fight with all its might.
“He wanted to recruit me, I guess.”
Ning Fan answered offhandedly, his mind still preoccupied with Umbrella and Tengyun Gegeshang.
With a hint of nervousness, Chen Fengnan asked, “Did you agree?”
“No, how could I possibly agree?
Besides, I thought the guy was bluffing at the time.
Had I known, I would’ve straight-up said I wanted to be the president of the Magnesium Country!”
“…”
Chen Fengnan’s face showed his conflict.
Even at such a time, Ning Fan still had the sense of humor to joke around, leaving Chen Fengnan feeling helpless.
