904: Chapter 893: Threatening You with the Xu Family Members!
“The safest place is often the most dangerous.
Konstantin would never suspect that Ning Fan is now hiding in one of Umbrella’s strongholds in New York City.”
“There, Ning Fan not only evaded the Shadow Guards’ search but also gained some precious time to recuperate.”
“At this stronghold, Ning Fan stayed for two days, and Tulip’s injuries were almost fully healed.”
“Then today, Ning Fan sought out Fei Peilie.”
“Fei Peilie, do you know where Konstantin is now?”
“The first thing Ning Fan did when he saw Fei Peilie was to inquire about Konstantin’s whereabouts.”
“Konstantin had been gravely injured by him.
Ning Fan couldn’t risk giving him time to recover—if he did, it would become much harder to kill the man later.”
“However, Fei Peilie shook his head cautiously and said, ‘Lord Teng Yunge’s plan is currently…'”
“‘To hell with his plan!
Konstantin is gravely injured right now, which makes this the perfect opportunity.
If you give him a few more days to recover his strength, do you plan on dealing with the bastard yourself?’ ”
“Ning Fan glared at Fei Peilie, his oppressive stare rendering Fei Peilie speechless.”
“‘And let me warn you—it’s best that you spit it out quickly.
What exactly is Teng Yunge’s plan?'”
“At this point, Ning Fan released a wave of killing intent.
He had finally reached his breaking point with the secrecy surrounding Teng Yunge’s plans, as well as Fei Peilie’s unwillingness to reveal them.”
“There was a limit to how much one could hide.
And previously, when Konstantin came after him, Teng Yunge hadn’t even issued a warning in advance.”
“Ning Fan didn’t care what kind of scheme Teng Yunge and his people were up to, but he demanded his right to know!”
“Fei Peilie could only look at Ning Fan helplessly.
Thinking about Ning Fan’s strength made him a bit fearful.”
“‘Don’t worry.
Konstantin’s every move is under our control.
Once you’re fully recovered, we’ll immediately go after him!'”
“This was the best explanation Fei Peilie could muster.”
“But Ning Fan narrowed his eyes and pressed further.
‘Then tell me—who exactly is the person by Konstantin’s side?
The one I’m talking about is your informant, the one feeding you intelligence!'”
“Whoever could monitor Konstantin’s every move must hold some weight around him.”
“Right now, Konstantin was at his most vigilant.
For his own safety, he surely wouldn’t trust others lightly.
His every move would be strictly concealed, with only his closest confidants knowing anything.”
“‘That…'”
“Fei Peilie hesitated, genuinely unsure whether he should tell Ning Fan.”
“On one hand, he couldn’t explain himself to Teng Yunge.
On the other, Ning Fan wasn’t someone to cross easily.
Fei Peilie was terrified—if he angered Ning Fan, the man might simply knock him out with a single punch.”
“‘No need for him to explain.
Let me tell you who it is instead!'”
“Suddenly, a voice echoed through the stronghold, causing Ning Fan, Fei Peilie, and Tulip—hidden in the corner—to all turn pale.”
“This voice wasn’t anyone else’s—it belonged to Konstantin himself.
How could he possibly appear here?”
“Ning Fan turned his gaze to Fei Peilie, his eyes filled with accusation.”
“But Fei Peilie looked equally shocked—he had no idea what was going on either!”
“Konstantin, however, sauntered in grandly, accompanied by Broken Blade and a group of Shadow Guards.
He wore a mocking smile as he looked at Ning Fan and the others.
‘Hahaha, didn’t expect this, did you?
I showed up right before your eyes—and I came to you on my own!'”
“With a twisted grin, Konstantin turned to Fei Peilie.
‘Teng Yunge, that old fox, really is clever.
But he made one mistake: he underestimated how little I trust the Shadow Guards.
Did he think I wouldn’t suspect them if something went wrong?'”
“As Konstantin finished speaking, one of his men unceremoniously tossed out a mangled corpse.”
“‘This person was bought off by you lot?
I never would’ve thought it.
I always believed the Shadow Guards were a hundred percent loyal to me.
Unbelievable!
Teng Yunge truly has some tricks up his sleeve!'”
“To think that one of the Shadow Guards he trusted most could be turned against him—this was something Konstantin had never imagined.
And perhaps, there were more things that had eluded his calculations.”
“Ning Fan remained silent, his gaze fixed on Fei Peilie.
The blame in his eyes was impossible to miss.”
“Had Teng Yunge’s plan completely backfired?”
“It certainly seemed that way.”
“‘Don’t bother looking.
Everyone here belongs to me.
Now, you can start choosing how you’ll die.
Of course, I’m excluding Ning Fan from that equation!'”
“The entire stronghold had been locked down, and irrelevant personnel had been cleared out.
Present now were only Konstantin’s Shadow Guards, Ning Fan, and his allies.
There wouldn’t be anyone else.”
“‘Oh, is that so?
So, in your eyes, we’re nothing more than fish in a barrel?’ ”
“Ning Fan’s lips curled into a sinister grin.
Somehow, he now had the Black Sword tightly gripped in his hands.”
“Fei Peilie broke out in a cold sweat, while Tulip could barely breathe.
It seemed they truly had fallen into a dire situation.”
“In this impossible predicament, the only one who remained calm was Ning Fan.”
“Konstantin stared at Ning Fan, furrowing his brows.
He was displeased with Ning Fan’s composure, but the next moment, he broke into laughter once more.
‘I admire your calmness, but I want to see if you can keep that act up after hearing the news from Zhonghai.
For now, you won’t die yet—I want you to witness the Xu family being wiped out before your very eyes!'”
“Konstantin knew well what Ning Fan cared about most: Xu Ruolan and the others.
To break Ning Fan’s calm demeanor, bringing them into the picture was the easiest way.”
“And as Konstantin predicted, Ning Fan’s face darkened, his expression contorting in rage the moment he heard this.”
“‘Konstantin, don’t you dare!!'”
“Ning Fan’s eyes glinted red, and a violent, beast-like aura erupted from his body, spreading in all directions.”
“‘Hahaha!
What, you don’t think I dare?
I’m here to tell you that with just a word from me, their lives or deaths are decided.
If you kneel and beg me now, perhaps I might spare them their lives!'”
“Konstantin sneered, clearly delighted by Ning Fan’s reaction.
He was finally seeing this boy lose his composure.”
“Ning Fan’s expression grew darker than ever.
His gaze toward Konstantin brimmed with murderous intent—he was desperate to snap Konstantin’s neck.”
“‘If you really dare do it, I swear I’ll make you pay a thousand times over!'”
“‘Ning Fan, did you know you have one major flaw?
You love making empty, brazen threats.
I despise that about you.
So once I’ve caught you later, your tongue?
Gone.'”
“‘…'”
“‘What, staying silent now?
Does that mean you’ve resigned yourself?
Everyone, attack!'”
