King 831: Chapter 820: King vs.
King “Mr.
Teng Yunge, we should depart.”
The man, resembling a butler, spoke respectfully in front of Teng Yunge.
His name was Fei Peilie, and he was Teng Yunge’s close confidant.
His strength was extraordinarily intimidating—judging solely by his aura, he possessed power at least at the Peak Object-Manipulating Realm.
If Ning Fan were here, he would surely notice that this man, Fei Peilie, bore a resemblance to the Second Elder of the Yunteng Family.
Teng Yunge stood before the mirror.
Although he was over fifty years old, his entire presence radiated vigor and energy.
His physique was robust, making him appear more like a prematurely gray-haired middle-aged man, at most in his thirties.
He wore a tailored black suit, adorned with a single golden button on the right lapel—a special emblem of the Umbrella.
Today, they were visiting the Xu Corporation.
Their objective was not to tour a local star enterprise or meet the famous female entrepreneur Xu Ruolan but to engage with Ning Fan.
Before arriving, Teng Yunge had received a detailed report thoroughly analyzing Ning Fan and his interpersonal relationships.
Xu Ruolan, Ning Fan’s nominal fiancée, had quickly caught Teng Yunge’s attention.
Choosing the Xu Corporation to meet Ning Fan was deliberate on Teng Yunge’s part.
He intended to demonstrate to Ning Fan that they knew him intimately—his lifelines were always under Umbrella’s control.
“It’s been a while.
I wonder how much Asura has grown.”
Seated in a stretched limousine, swirling the crimson wine in his glass, Teng Yunge murmured to himself.
Beside him, Fei Peilie’s eyes flickered with a sharp glint.
“Mr.
Teng Yunge, is such a person truly worthy of your regard?
Great leaders don’t sweat the small stuff, yet this man has repeatedly come close to losing his life for a few women…”
“Fei Peilie, are you questioning my judgment?”
Teng Yunge shot an icy glare at his butler.
If not for the years of loyalty the latter had shown, had it been anyone else questioning his thinking, they would have already died several times over by now.
Fei Peilie bowed his head in fear and quickly responded, “I apologize, sir!”
“It’s just that Mr.
Konstantin has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with your decisions.
He has urged us to eliminate Asura as soon as possible to avoid protracted risks…”
It wasn’t out of concern that Ning Fan’s recruitment into Umbrella would undermine Teng Yunge’s position; rather, Konstantin—the primary leader of Umbrella—had been relentlessly pressuring Teng Yunge regarding this matter, leaving Fei Peilie somewhat anxious about that side.
Teng Yunge narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brow upon hearing this.
Konstantin’s ongoing pressure was something he was acutely aware of.
On several occasions, Konstantin had moved beyond subtle hints to directly demand that Ning Fan be eliminated as quickly as possible—a ticking time bomb that could no longer be allowed to exist.
Yet, in Teng Yunge’s eyes, if used correctly, Ning Fan was no mere ticking bomb; he could be a sword of unstoppable power.
“Don’t worry about Konstantin.
Besides, are you my man or his?”
Teng Yunge sneered coldly.
He cared little about Konstantin’s reaction.
Although Konstantin held the title of leader of Umbrella, as the second-in-command, Teng Yunge didn’t feel obligated to obey everything the other side decreed.
To an extent, they were equals.
“I’m, of course, your most loyal hound!”
Fei Peilie responded earnestly, fully aware of his role as Teng Yunge’s dedicated enforcer.
Teng Yunge nodded in satisfaction, casting an appreciative glance at Fei Peilie.
Years of grooming hadn’t been in vain.
About ten minutes later, they arrived at the Xu Corporation building.
A large group of people awaited them outside, including numerous news media outlets eager for interviews.
But Teng Yunge wasn’t interested in wasting time with reporters.
The Xu Corporation also declined requests from journalists to follow them upstairs.
Security guards efficiently blocked their entrance, ensuring nobody got inside.
“Welcome, Mr.
Teng Yunge…”
As the President of the Xu Corporation, Xu Ruolan naturally came to personally greet this overseas entrepreneur.
Teng Yunge was captivated by Xu Ruolan at first glance.
Inwardly, he thought Ning Fan’s luck with women must truly be enviable, having such a beauty by his side.
Under Xu Ruolan’s lead, Teng Yunge was given a brief tour of the Xu Corporation.
The process was short, lasting only ten or so minutes, before they arrived at a conference room.
Xu Ruolan was accompanied by several members of her executive team.
However, Teng Yunge’s purpose for coming wasn’t to discuss collaboration with Xu Corporation; rather, it was to meet Ning Fan.
Xu Ruolan, for her part, was well aware that Teng Yunge had specifically requested to meet Ning Fan.
She promptly dismissed the other members, sending them off to handle whatever tasks they had.
She also instructed someone to find Ning Fan and bring him over.
At this time, Ning Fan was still in the security department, not yet making an appearance.
Nearby was a persistent hanger-on—none other than Huo Zhanyuan.
He was chattering ceaselessly, his topic appearing to be about the Shangguan Family.
“Enough already!
Can’t you be quiet?
There’s an important guest in the company today.
Hurry back to your post and stop embarrassing yourself!”
Ning Fan snapped at Huo Zhanyuan with a tone of impatience.
The latter scratched his head awkwardly before dejectedly retreating to the security department.
At that moment, Zhu Xuetao emerged from a corner and, upon spotting Ning Fan, hurried over: “Brother Ning, what are you doing here?
The President has been looking all over for you.
The guest is waiting to meet you!”
As Zhu Xuetao spoke, a peculiar glint shone in his eyes.
Umbrella.
Teng Yunge.
They were actually here.
Zhu Xuetao hadn’t expected such audacity from the man to show up directly in Huaxia.
But then again, even a fallen giant like Umbrella was no trivial entity.
While Teng Yunge had countless enemies, there was little reason for him to avoid making an appearance.
Upon hearing that Xu Ruolan was looking for him, Ning Fan’s expression grew serious.
He casually thanked Zhu Xuetao and proceeded to follow him to the conference room where Teng Yunge awaited.
“Get in there quickly; I’ve got work to do and won’t be accompanying you.”
The visit of such a prominent guest had significantly increased the workload of the security department today—not only ensuring safety but also dealing with the swarm of frantic reporters, ensuring they couldn’t sneak in.
Of course, the biggest concern was Teng Yunge himself.
No one knew the real purpose of his visit.
Zhu Xuetao could only hope that Ning Fan didn’t end up coming to blows with him.
