685: Chapter 674: The Person Who Will Bind Me Hasn’t Been Born Yet 685: Chapter 674: The Person Who Will Bind Me Hasn’t Been Born Yet Sitting on a bench on the streets of London, the entire street was occupied by only Ning Fan and Teng Yun Gesang.
Ning Fan clicked his tongue incessantly at Teng Yun Gesang’s confidence; he was just speaking casually after all,
And as for what Teng Yun Gesang said, he didn’t believe a word of it.
“You’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg of the world.
With your current vision, wanting to step into the real world and become the one in control will still require a lot of time and experience; you might even fail in the end.
Instead of taking so many detours, why not take the shortcut I’m offering you?”
Seeing Ning Fan’s lack of interest, Teng Yun Gesang wasn’t angry; he kept on trying to entice Ning Fan into taking interest in their Umbrella.
“Anyone can talk big, I know how to blow my own trumpet too.”
Ning Fan retorted; Teng Yun Gesang couldn’t help but laugh, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.
He had spoken for so long, but Ning Fan was like a stone, utterly unreceptive.
If it were anyone else daring to talk to him with such an attitude, Teng Yun Gesang would have turned them to ashes long ago.
Ning Fan was unaware of Teng Yun Gesang’s thoughts, but looking at Teng Yun Gesang’s expression, he could still tell that the guy was probably feeling annoyed right now.
Nevertheless, Ning Fan didn’t care; he was short of telling Teng Yun Gesang outright to give up on this fantasy.
Since Ning Fan couldn’t see through Teng Yun Gesang’s strength, it wasn’t wise to completely infuriate him, as he wasn’t sure he could handle a fight if it came to it.
“I don’t understand.
Since you have ambition and I can provide you with the stage, why won’t you consider it?
If it’s because of Mingwang Pavilion, just come to my side, and we’ll let bygones be bygones.
Even Mingwang Pavilion can be yours in the future.”
Teng Yun Gesang was somewhat helpless, sighing inwardly at Ning Fan’s indifferent attitude, feeling that Ning Fan was unappreciative.
Although Umbrella was far from its peak period, the saying goes, ‘A skinny camel is bigger than a horse’.
And in Umbrella’s eyes, Phantom Guild and Mingwang Pavilion weren’t even ‘horses’ yet, they just had that potential.
“Sorry, I look down on Mingwang Pavilion, and as for your side, I’m really not interested.
If you just came for a chat, I can casually talk with you, but if you’re trying to recruit me, sorry to say, the person who can control me hasn’t been born yet!”
Ning Fan looked at Teng Yun Gesang with burning eyes.
Although he could vaguely sense Teng Yun Gesang’s immeasurable strength, he still maintained his own aura and didn’t falter due to the other’s power.
Arrogant!
That was the only way Teng Yun Gesang could describe Ning Fan, coldly sneering in his heart while mocking aloud, “You think there isn’t anyone, but it’s just that you have seen too little.”
“Oh, if you think I’m just a frog in a well, why bother spending the time to shoot the breeze with me?”
Ning Fan narrowed his eyes and looked at Teng Yun Gesang with a cheerful smile, irritating the latter to the point where he was itching to set Ning Fan straight.
The conversation had already come this far, and Teng Yun Gesang didn’t wish to persist.
After all, before coming here, Teng Yun Gesang had sensed that Ning Fan was someone who wouldn’t tolerate being controlled by others; this outcome wasn’t unexpected for him, just a bit regrettable.
“What a pity.”
Teng Yun Gesang’s face lost its smile, his indifference becoming even more profound than Ning Fan’s.
What a pity?
Pity what?
Ning Fan couldn’t help but laugh, failing to understand what Teng Yun Gesang was really thinking.
“I’ve given you the opportunity.
Whether you want to consider it when you go back is up to you; we will meet again.”
Teng Yun Gesang stood up and headed towards the entrance of the street.
A custom-made Rolls-Royce approached from the crossroads, finally stopping beside him.
Ning Fan watched the retreating figure of Tengyun Geshang, his gaze somewhat heavy.
To be honest, he felt quite a bit of pressure from this Tengyun Geshang.
Their talk had just failed to reach an agreement, and Ning Fan had persistently refused the other’s recruitment.
He was somewhat worried that Tengyun Geshang might become furious from embarrassment and lash out at him.
Now that Tengyun Geshang had left, Ning Fan unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
Actually, Tengyun Geshang had also entertained the idea that Ning Fan was worried about, but in the end, he didn’t act on it because it wasn’t worth it for him to attack Ning Fan.
If he wanted to deal with Ning Fan, he wouldn’t need to do it himself.
Moreover, since Ning Fan had refused this time, Tengyun Geshang still planned to give him some time to reconsider.
Of course, if Ning Fan still refused the next time they met, even though Ning Fan was a rare talent, Tengyun Geshang would have to nip him in the bud.
After all, Mingwang Pavilion was still under the Umbrella’s control, and if they couldn’t recruit Ning Fan, they would naturally seek revenge.
“Tengyun Geshang, who exactly is this person?”
Ning Fan was completely unfamiliar with this name, and he wasn’t from Mingwang Pavilion either.
Plus, from what the other party said, the organization Tengyun Geshang belonged to was even more formidable than Mingwang Pavilion or his own Phantom Guild, possibly even a behemoth.
But whether this was just a boast or the truth, Ning Fan hadn’t yet fully determined.
The conditions Tengyun Geshang had offered were indeed tempting, but Ning Fan wasn’t interested.
He had ambition, but he liked the feeling of being in control even less.
As for this person, Ning Fan took note of him today; Tengyun Geshang had left a very deep impression on Ning Fan.
With Tengyun Geshang’s departure, pedestrians gradually appeared on the streets again, and vehicles resumed their traffic flow on the roads.
Meanwhile, at another location, the departing Tengyun Geshang contacted the Umbrella’s top leader, Konstantin.
Watching Konstantin on the video, Tengyun Geshang looked indifferent, a faint smile lingering on his lips, “Just as I told you, this young man isn’t the kind who would willingly be controlled.”
Konstantin wore an expressionless face, his eyes void of any fluctuations, and just nodded lightly.
“Are you going to take action against him?”
Since they couldn’t absorb him into their ranks, it was time to settle both new grudges and old with Mingwang Pavilion.
Tengyun Geshang shook his head, “If there’s going to be action, it won’t be me doing it.”
Plus, he had still left Ning Fan some time, though that was something he hadn’t mentioned to Konstantin.
“By the way, since you’ve already made contact with this person, how do you feel about him after meeting him face to face?”
Konstantin suddenly asked.
Tengyun Geshang subconsciously retorted, “Haven’t you already given up on him?
And yet you’re still interested?”
“That’s two different things.”
Konstantin explained that he was just purely interested in Ning Fan for now.
Tengyun Geshang laughed, stroked his chin thoughtfully and after about half a minute, he responded, “Very arrogant, very confident, his strength is not bad, to have the power of the Object-Manipulating Realm at such a young age.
To be honest, I don’t really like him.”
“Oh, it’s rare for you to say you don’t like someone, he must be quite special.”
“It’s just that I’ve seldom come across a young person I find annoying, that’s all.”
“Heh, what a pity, though.”
“Indeed, a pity.”
