890: Chapter 879: Do You Know What Place Huaxia Is?
Ning Fan and his group traveled across the ocean.
The first thing they did upon arriving wasn’t to discuss how to assassinate Konstantin, but to put on a show with Fei Peilie.
Because of this performance, that group of cannon fodder would willingly march to their deaths.
Sounds cruel, doesn’t it?
Deceiving those guys…
But even if you felt sorry for them, Ning Fan didn’t exactly feel much sympathy.
What truly surprised him was Fei Peilie’s approach.
After all, those people were also Umbrella’s men, and yet they were discarded without a moment’s hesitation.
Not the slightest bit of regret.
“You’re so ruthless.
I wonder if, once they’re in Hell and know the truth, they’ll curse you to die a horrible death!”
Ning Fan said in a teasing tone.
Fei Peilie, however, snapped back irritably, “If you put it that way, doesn’t that make you one of my accomplices?”
Indeed, Ning Fan had assisted with his script.
So saying Ning Fan was an accomplice wasn’t exactly wrong.
As for what those people would do in Hell, Fei Peilie couldn’t care less.
The only thing on his mind now was how they would go about assassinating Konstantin.
At the same time, because of a certain agreement with Ning Fan, a trace of embarrassment flickered in his gaze as he looked at him.
Having to call Ning Fan “Grandpa”?
Just the thought of it was utterly humiliating…
“Speaking of which, about our agreement—you need to pick a time, and then we can settle that matter, don’t you think?”
Ning Fan’s eyes twinkled suddenly as he looked slyly at Fei Peilie, clearly up to no good.
That agreement—they had it, and Ning Fan hadn’t forgotten.
It was only unclear when Fei Peilie planned to follow through with it.
Fei Peilie swallowed hard, staring at Ning Fan’s back with visible frustration.
At this moment, he found himself utterly speechless.
Nearby, Tulip watched him curiously.
While she sensed that Fei Peilie had suffered some kind of loss at Ning Fan’s hands, she had no idea what exactly had happened.
Still, her curiosity about it was unabated.
“By the way, shouldn’t you tell me now—when exactly is the backup Teng Yunge prepared arriving?”
Ning Fan turned back to look at Fei Peilie with a serious tone.
Earlier today, Fei Peilie had introduced him to a group of cannon fodder.
But the real reinforcements?
Where were they?
To be honest, Ning Fan didn’t for a minute believe Teng Yunge would only prepare a bunch of expendables.
There had to be more cards up their sleeve.
As their partner, Ning Fan had every right to know.
Fei Peilie hesitated, torn about whether or not he should tell Ning Fan.
After deliberating for a while, he finally said, “That depends on when Konstantin arrives.
Otherwise, that person won’t show up.”
“Hm?”
Ning Fan furrowed his brows—there was something intriguing about Fei Peilie’s answer.
Their backup would only appear once Konstantin showed himself.
Could it be this person had some connection to Konstantin?
If that were the case, then things had just gotten a lot more interesting.
The drama within Umbrella was evidently never-ending.
If Ning Fan weren’t caught in the very center of this whirlpool, he’d be grabbing a small stool to sit back and enjoy the spectacle.
“Is that so?
Then I’ll be looking forward to it!”
Everything was ready.
All that remained was for Konstantin to arrive in New York City.
But how long that wait would be, Ning Fan didn’t know.
For now, Teng Yunge was working hard; after all, luring the elusive Konstantin to New York City wasn’t as simple as it sounded.
“Before that, there’s still plenty to prepare…”
“Oh?
No matter how busy you are, I believe you can still spare some time, can’t you?”
Trying to use the excuse of being too busy to weasel out of it?
Ning Fan shook his head.
He wasn’t about to give Fei Peilie that chance.
All excuses, in his eyes, were meaningless!
Seeing his intentions instantly exposed by Ning Fan, Fei Peilie was a bit embarrassed.
Yet, at this point, there was little left to say.
After a while, he simply disappeared from Ning Fan’s sight.
…
The Bering Strait—a sensitive region.
On one side, the Bear; on the other, Mystery Country.
Everyone knew these two were sworn enemies.
That was no secret to the world.
But far beneath the fathomless depths of the ocean lay an undersea base—the headquarters of Umbrella.
This enormous facility was built underwater.
How much effort it took was beyond imagination!
While Ning Fan’s group was in New York City plotting Konstantin’s assassination, their target—Konstantin himself—was conversing with Teng Yunge.
“You’re telling me you haven’t found anything?
What’s the meaning of this?
You’re in Huaxia right now, and you still can’t locate that thief?
Teng Yunge, are you toying with me?!”
Konstantin’s fury was palpable as he glared at Teng Yunge.
Ever since the Nine Souls Jade was stolen, his temper had been explosive, like a powder keg ready to go off at any moment.
The oppressive aura emanating from Konstantin was unmistakable.
As Umbrella’s number one figure, a Dark World heavyweight, his menacing demeanor at this moment was terrifying.
“Konstantin, do you really think I’m trying to deceive you?
Huaxia isn’t a simple place, and you know it.
This land is filled with masters and hidden dragons.
Even the previous generation couldn’t accomplish certain things here.
Do you really think we, with our current strength, have any chance of doing so?”
Teng Yunge’s expression was equally grim.
Yet deep down, he was well aware that the theft of the Nine Souls Jade had everything to do with him.
The person who had stolen the Nine Souls Jade from Konstantin?
The Thief Saint’s protégé—someone Teng Yunge had recruited.
And Konstantin would never suspect that the mastermind behind this entire scheme was standing right in front of him.
“It was bad enough with Night Five.
But now, a thief from Huaxia infiltrates Umbrella’s headquarters, walking right out with something in front of me.
And you want me to stay calm?
How can I be calm?
This is a slap across our faces!”
While Night Five’s failure in Huaxia was one thing—after all, Huaxia was no easy place to navigate—even past generations had struggled to gain a foothold there.
Umbrella now had even less right to meddle in its affairs.
Still, the Huaxia thief made Konstantin grit his teeth in fury.
After all, this person had dared to invade their headquarters and take something right under his nose!
“I understand, but what do you expect me to do?
Declare war on Huaxia and its forces?”
Teng Yunge’s tone was icy as he posed the question.
Of course he understood every detail of the situation—after all, he was the mastermind.
Nobody knew the intricacies better than he did!
