752: Chapter 741: Poor Andorra 752: Chapter 741: Poor Andorra “Lord Tengyun Gesang, I have made contact with Ning Fan as you instructed,” he said.
In the dimly lit basement, a man wearing a mask reported the matter in complex Yiddish to Tengyun Gesang.
On the screen in front of him, Tengyun Gesang nodded indifferently, “How did it go?”
After pondering seriously for a while, the masked man replied, “He was very vigilant, I underestimated him!”
He had thought his Face-changing Technique was flawless, but he lost in the details.
In the end, he was outwitted and Ning Fan saw through him.
This time he truly had underestimated Ning Fan’s observational skills.
“Qianmian, I have told you, never to underestimate this man.
You should know, even his potential amazes me!”
A complex light flashed in Tengyun Gesang’s eyes.
While he valued Ning Fan’s potential, he also felt frustrated because Ning Fan showed no interest in their Umbrella organization and was very resistant, which greatly troubled Tengyun Gesang.
As much as he valued him, if Ning Fan was unwilling to join the Umbrella, they were destined to become enemies.
Since Qianmian’s face was covered by a mask, it was impossible to discern his expression at that moment.
Upon hearing Tengyun Gesang’s assessment of Ning Fan, he couldn’t help but feel jealous.
Who was Tengyun Gesang?
He was the second-in-command of the Umbrella.
Without his Face-changing Technique, Qianmian wouldn’t know how many years he’d have to struggle to meet Tengyun Gesang even once.
Even with his Face-changing Technique garnering Tengyun Gesang’s interest, meeting him would still be extremely difficult unless Tengyun Gesang needed him.
The quickest shortcut Qianmian knew to rise within the Umbrella was to be valued by the first or second-in-command.
Now seeing how much Tengyun Gesang valued Ning Fan, even Qianmian couldn’t help but feel envious, for this was an opportunity many dreamed of, yet Ning Fan didn’t cherish it.
Even though the Umbrella organization seemed to be on the decline, with its deep roots, it was still a force to be reckoned with.
A dying camel is bigger than a horse, and the Umbrella wasn’t even close to dying, possibly even having a chance to return to its peak.
Qianmian was adept at surmising others’ thoughts.
To him, Tengyun Gesang’s response signified true regard for Ning Fan.
If Ning Fan was willing to join the Umbrella, his prospects were unimaginable.
A nod from Ning Fan would mean an instant rise to the top.
However, during his interaction with Ning Fan, Qianmian discovered that Ning Fan was simply not interested in the Umbrella, only harboring pure hostility.
Ning Fan’s attitude frustrated Qianmian—such a great opportunity seemed worthless in Ning Fan’s eyes, which he found to be utterly foolish.
“Lord Tengyun Gesang, that Ning Fan seems to have no interest in our Umbrella.
Should we really wait any longer?”
In the end, Qianmian couldn’t help but give a reminder.
He thought there was no chance, knowing from Ning Fan’s attitude that he would definitely not agree to join the Umbrella.
Tengyun Gesang shouldn’t give that guy any more opportunities.
“Oh?
Do you have an opinion?”
Tengyun Gesang’s eyes narrowed, a formidable authority emanating from him.
Even across a screen, from across the sea, that presence reached Qianmian.
Qianmian immediately bowed his head, realizing that he was in no position to speculate on the thoughts of the man before him, let alone speak out of turn.
He just needed to follow orders, nothing else mattered.
“I apologize, Lord Tengyun Gesang, I meant no disrespect!”
It was not easy to bypass several layers and serve Tengyun Ge directly, and Qianmian did not want to leave a bad impression in Tengyun Ge’s heart.
He was hoping that this assignment would lead to a promotion within the organization later on.
Now, Qianmian began to regret.
He really wanted to smack himself hard for being so talkative.
Could someone like him, a small fry, really interfere with a person like Tengyun Ge?
Tengyun Ge stared at Qianmian expressionlessly for quite a while, and each second was torture for Qianmian.
“Afterward, go find Andorra.
He will tell you what needs to be done,” Tengyun Ge said.
After a while, Tengyun Ge finally spared Qianmian and cut off the video after leaving that sentence.
Even after Tengyun Ge cut off the video, Qianmian still felt lingering fear, uneasy about Tengyun Ge’s previous show of power.
By the time Qianmian came back to his senses, his entire body was already drenched in cold sweat.
“Damn it, had I known, I wouldn’t have run my mouth…”
Annoyed with himself, Qianmian cursed.
He shouldn’t have spoken out of turn.
Now, he had no idea what Tengyun Ge thought of him.
If he had left Tengyun Ge with any reservations, it would truly be the death of him.
Why did he have to blurt something out at that time?
Upset, Qianmian massaged his temples and looked at the computer next to him.
It displayed information about Ning Fan and the people around him.
Every single person who had contact with Ning Fan was listed there, without exception.
With a flick of his fingers, Qianmian pulled up Ning Fan’s information, and his cold eyes reflected the data about Ning Fan.
“Asura, your luck is truly enviable!”
If not for his jealousy of Ning Fan, Qianmian wouldn’t have spoken out of turn and displeased Tengyun Ge in the first place.
However, for the time being, he would have no more opportunities to approach Ning Fan.
Tengyun Ge had decided to give Ning Fan some more time to consider, which Qianmian saw as meaningless because he believed Ning Fan would never agree to join the Umbrella.
Nevertheless, he dared not voice this belief.
Just by speaking out of turn once, he had nearly caused a disaster.
Qianmian dared not do anything unnecessary now, and without a command from Tengyun Ge, if he acted on his own, he wouldn’t even have time to run for his life.
“Andorra, is this guy still in Europe?”
After closing Ning Fan’s information, Qianmian checked Andorra’s current whereabouts.
While European countries were suppressing the Mingwang Pavilion, Andorra, as the Pavilion Master, still remained in Europe, attempting to minimize the losses for the Pavilion and to consolidate the scattered forces.
“Sigh…
another trip to make.
I hope it’s not a task more troublesome than dealing with Ning Fan!”
Remembering the past incidents, Qianmian was still regretting, and thinking about it now made him apprehensive again.
Praying in his heart that the task from Andorra would not be more troublesome than the one with Ning Fan, Qianmian started to pack up, preparing to completely destroy everything in this basement.
