775: Chapter 764: Ouyang Feifei is Out of Money Again 775: Chapter 764: Ouyang Feifei is Out of Money Again After learning from Ning Fan that the assailants were aiming to target Teng Huayang, Teng Zhuhai was furious, even directing his anger at the Shangguan Family.
However, due to a lack of evidence, and considering that Ning Fan’s account might be a strategy to sow discord, Teng Zhuhai did not openly confront the Shangguan Family, yet he began to harbor suspicions against them.
As a result, Shangguan Tanglong was inwardly complaining endlessly, wishing he could have killed his nephew Shangguan Yunyang for causing him such big trouble.
This affair had unwittingly become a gift for Ning Fan, with the Yunteng Family now suspicious of the Shangguan Family.
If they did not manage to clear the doubts about themselves, the Shangguan Family would have a hard time.
In this case, there was a good chance that the Yunteng Family would begin a purge.
A self-defeating move?
Describing Shangguan Yunyang with such a phrase was not quite right.
Shangguan Tanglong just wanted to say that his nephew was extremely foolish!
Afterward, Shangguan Tanglong found an opportunity to scold Shangguan Yunyang thoroughly, berating him until he was covered in metaphorical blood, only then did he let the young man off.
At this time, Ning Fan and Teng Huayang had already returned to Zhonghai.
After making a final round in Jiangcheng, Teng Huayang had once again become Ning Fan’s prisoner.
After returning to Shadow Base, Ning Fan called over Ouyang Feifei and asked, “Feifei, do we have any newcomers in the Shadow Team recently?”
The Shadow Team had now found its footing and was in need of combat personnel.
Ning Fan was particularly troubled by this as he would soon be at war with the Yunteng Family.
Moreover, there was also the threat of an unknown “Umbrella” lurking in the shadows, so he desperately wished to enhance the Shadow Team’s combat capabilities as quickly as possible.
“Given the strict rules you set at the time, of course we have to select our people carefully, through numerous levels of selection.
Do you think it’s as easy as picking vegetables?”
Ouyang Feifei rolled her eyes at Ning Fan.
As the person in charge of the Shadow Team, she was even more troubled than Ning Fan.
The fighting force of Shadow Team, besides Di Baitian and the two known as Lone Souls, had grown by only a few members.
Even if they were elites, they still needed more to support them.
Ning Fan’s face stiffened with a helpless expression as he said, “We can’t just let any riffraff in, can we?”
Ning Fan had high hopes for the Shadow Team, hoping its members would be the elite of the elite.
Taking Di Baitian and Lone Souls as examples, each of them had the ability to stand on their own.
Especially the stealth abilities of the Lone Souls, Ning Fan was also considering, after the Genetic Potion was perfected, to use it on them first.
Once their strength was enhanced, they would truly be able to kill without trace, like phantoms.
“How about this, what do you think about setting up a peripheral membership?”
Ouyang Feifei’s brows furrowed slightly.
Seeing Ning Fan’s urgent need for combat personnel, she immediately had a suggestion.
At present, those who knew of Shadow Base’s existence were all official members of the Shadow Team, selected through rigorous processes.
Though few in number, they were the best of the best!
If they wanted to quickly recruit more candidates, establishing a peripheral membership would be the best solution.
It could increase their numbers on one hand and cultivate potential talent on the other.
Ning Fan’s eyes lit up upon hearing this; it was indeed a good idea.
With this method, the shortage of combat personnel could be resolved.
“Then I’ll leave this matter in your hands with confidence!”
The accustomed hands-off leader, Ning Fan, immediately patted Ouyang Feifei on the shoulder, entrusting the task to her.
Ouyang Feifei nodded, her expression one of resigned acceptance.
“Then, our hands-off leader, shouldn’t you provide some more funds?”
“What, we’re out of money?
The several tens of millions of US Dollars from before are gone?”
Ning Fan’s face darkened, spending money so fast was alarming, and if it weren’t for the knowledge that Ouyang Feifei was spending all the money on essential matters, Ning Fan might have shouted out a phrase accusing her of being a spendthrift right then and there.
Seeing Ning Fan so agitated, Ouyang Feifei responded with annoyance, “Maintaining so many people isn’t free, is it?”
Although the Shadow Team was now accepting some missions, they were still spending more than they were earning, because their development was simply too rapid, and they needed a substantial amount of financial support.
Now that Ning Fan needed a group of combat personnel, this meant more money would have to be spent, so Ouyang Feifei had no choice but to ask him for funds.
“Let me think, give me a minute, I need to think…”
This time Ning Fan did not want to dip into his private stash of money.
He decided to directly approach the four big bosses of Jiangnan, all of whom were under him and who also needed to be mobilized.
After considering for a moment, Ning Fan recalled their contact information and then shared it with Ouyang Feifei.
“You want me to ask the four big bosses of Jiangnan for money?”
Ouyang Feifei was still unaware of the relationship between these bosses and Ning Fan, and at that moment, she was confused as to why Ning Fan was giving her their contact information.
Could it be that she was expected to pitch the Shadow Team to these four individuals to secure sponsorships?
With a slight smile and confidence in his voice, Ning Fan said, “Just mention my name and tell them to give the money.
They’re all loaded.”
Asking them for money was just a matter of saying it, and it was a good opportunity to establish a supportive relationship between them and the Shadow Team.
“What’s your relationship with them?
Besides the Phantom Guild and Zhonghai Four Districts, do you also have control over the Jiangnan Region?”
“I guess I forgot to tell you, but these four people are also my underlings, just like you.
You should get along well!”
Ning Fan spoke with some pride, for there was still much Ouyang Feifei did not know.
“Just how many secrets do you have!”
With a coquettish tone, Ouyang Feifei pressed Ning Fan for answers.
Ning Fan touched his nose and, after giving a couple of perfunctory replies, finally managed to deal with Ouyang Feifei before preparing to leave the Shadow Base.
After leaving the Shadow Base, Ning Fan went straight home.
He entered the underground laboratory of his villa, ready to improve the Genetic Potion.
Having long planned to create a batch of Super Warriors, he naturally wanted to accelerate the process.
“Huh?
This set of data…
The Holy Medicine brought back by Shangguan Tanglong is interesting!”
A report on the computer caught Ning Fan’s attention; it concerned the Holy Medicine he had managed to retrieve from the Shangguan Family last time.
The report was likely conducted by Xu Ruolan, who had analyzed the potion and conducted numerous experiments on it.
The report cut off at the point of diluting the potion, indicating that there were probably more experiments that Xu Ruolan had yet to complete.
“Is this the diluted potion?”
Picking up a test tube, Ning Fan stroked his chin, his eyes sparkling with a distinctive light.
