790: Chapter 779: Andorra’s Discomfort 790: Chapter 779: Andorra’s Discomfort …
On the other side…
In the temporary base of the Mingwang Pavilion in Europe, this was already their third temporary base.
The current situation in Europe was very unfavorable for them; they had sustained heavy blows.
“Andorra, if you go on like this, Master Tengyun Geshang will be very disappointed!”
The masked individual, wrapped in a cloak, spoke coldly with a hint of disdain in their tone.
The sun hung high in the sky, baking the entire land, but here in the shadows, it felt surprisingly chilly.
Standing beside the masked figure, Andorra furrowed his brows and replied impatiently, “Your mission is already completed, aren’t you leaving?”
The way he spoke showed no respect for the other party.
Although the masked figure was an insider within Umbrella, Andorra was, after all, the Pavilion Master of the Mingwang Pavilion.
He did not need to show any reverence, not being in the presence of someone like Tengyun Geshang or Konstantin.
What was most important, he did not like the masked figure’s tone at all.
If it weren’t for the fact that this individual was an insider within Umbrella, Andorra would have wished to send this person away immediately, simply because they looked down on others far too much.
Being an insider within Umbrella, they acted so arrogantly before him, looking down on people as if they were nothing.
The masked figure had come here on a command from Tengyun Geshang, their mission here had, in fact, already been completed and they could leave at any time.
Yet, what was annoying was that before leaving, they couldn’t resist throwing a few digs.
“Heh, what are you upset about?
Of course, I’m leaving.
I don’t want to spend another moment here.
If it wasn’t for the mission assigned by Master Tengyun Geshang, I wouldn’t even be here!”
It was clear that the masked figure was a person of high pride, looking down on everyone besides those from Umbrella.
This was also the reason why, when in Zhonghai, facing Ning Fan, the masked figure did not think Ning Fan deserved Tengyun Geshang’s appreciation.
“Then you better hurry up and go!”
Out of sight, out of mind.
Andorra wondered if the masked figure was saying these words on purpose, just to feel superior.
If that was the case, then this person was truly despicable.
The masked figure’s Face-changing Technique was very famous within Umbrella; Even Andorra had heard of this person many times.
However, their recent interactions had been quite unpleasant for Andorra.
If you asked why, it was precisely because this person was far too disdainful of others.
Seeing that Andorra had issued an eviction order, the masked figure sneered and had no intention of arguing with Andorra.
They glanced at him disdainfully, considering Andorra, who managed the Mingwang Pavilion, to be an insignificant character who had also caused a huge mess this time.
Considering that if it had been up to them, they would not have faced so many problems, the masked figure was not interested in chatting with Andorra anymore.
They had more important tasks to attend to.
In Zhonghai, Tengyun Geshang had instructed that after completing the mission, they must keep a close eye on Ning Fan.
The opportunity to return to Zhonghai and continue working for Tengyun Geshang was something the masked figure was eager for.
What puzzled them was that, despite reports saying Tengyun Geshang was about to take action against Ning Fan, why were they sent back to keep surveillance on Ning Fan instead of taking action?
After thinking it over and finding no clues, the masked figure shook their head, discarding all superfluous thoughts and left the Mingwang Pavilion’s secret European base.
Approximately taking a day to return to Zhonghai, the masked figure started preparing to make contact with Ning Fan again.
However, this time they had no intention of revealing themselves.
This mission was about surveillance, and they only needed to do that well.
Any other issues were not theirs to handle, lest they incur Tengyun Geshang’s displeasure.
However, once he returned to the studio set up in Zhonghai, Tengyun Gegeshang contacted him immediately, which left Thousand Faces feeling both flattered and shocked.
“Lord Tengyun Gegeshang!”
Thousand Faces called out respectfully, excitement evident behind the mask.
Gaining the attention of the organization’s second-in-command was indeed a cause for celebration.
Yet Tengyun Gegeshang’s expression was far from pleasant, his eyes flashing with an indiscernible light.
After a long while, he finally spoke, “Do you have any news on Tulip?”
Tulip, the woman sent to deal with Ning Fan, was proficient in the Bewitching Technique and was essentially a Fairy.
Recalling the information on Tulip, Thousand Faces came back to his senses and shook his head, asking with confusion, “Lord Tengyun Gegeshang, has something happened?”
Having already sensed something off about Tengyun Gegeshang’s expression, Thousand Faces started to speculate on the reason for Tengyun Gegeshang’s urgent contact.
Considering what could have made Tengyun Gegeshang look so displeased, Thousand Faces figured it likely had something to do with Ning Fan.
While curious about what Ning Fan might have done to irritate Tengyun Gegeshang this time, Thousand Faces also felt a sense of eagerness: what task would Tengyun Gegeshang assign him now?
Having been part of Umbrella for many years, and though he had secured a respectable position thanks to his Face-changing Technique, he was still essentially a ‘servant,’ always stuck doing the dirty work.
Now that he had finally caught the eye of Tengyun Gegeshang, the organization’s second-in-command, Thousand Faces naturally wouldn’t let this opportunity slip away.
Moreover, if luck were on his side, Thousand Faces hoped to use this chance to truly shine in Tengyun Gegeshang’s eyes and prove that he was no less than Ning Fan.
If he could manage that, it would be akin to ascending to the heavens.
While his heart buzzed with such excited fantasies, Tengyun Gegeshang’s next words ended up dousing him with cold water—
“Let’s leave it at that.
As for Ning Fan, just continue to watch over him.
Don’t make a move on him for now!”
After saying this, Tengyun Gegeshang didn’t give Thousand Faces any chance to respond and closed the communication.
Thousand Faces looked at the now-dark screen in utter bewilderment, opening and closing his mouth without saying a word, completely frozen.
Tengyun Gegeshang hurriedly contacted him, just to say that?
Instantly, Thousand Faces felt discontent.
It seemed that in Tengyun Gegeshang’s eyes, he didn’t hold much importance after all!
With this thought, his expression turned to one of frustration.
What was the point of all his effort if he couldn’t rise above his station?
He had to gain the favor of the high-ranking people!
Due to this, Thousand Faces truly began to detest Ning Fan.
How great would it be if he could swap places with him, rising swiftly in ranks with Tengyun Gegeshang’s appreciation?
But Ning Fan’s choices only served to irk Thousand Faces all the more!
