91: Chapter 091: The Rain Emperor is Coming 91: Chapter 091: The Rain Emperor is Coming “If there really is such a drug, would the person who takes it turn into Spider-Man or Wolverine?”
Ajiu nodded seriously.
“This thing is also an upgraded version of biochemical weapons, which can stimulate the infinite potential of humans and create the strongest warriors.”
The development of such a bio-weapon would become a world-shaking event.
Once a country’s military uses the Genetic Potion to develop the potential of its soldiers, these warriors would become mutants, supermen.
Having supermen beating regular soldiers, the outcome is clear; the global situation would become unstable, and the world order would be redistributed.
Even for civilian use, there are great uses, and the immense commercial interests are even more desirable.
The key lies in who can develop the Genetic Potion first.
That’s why Xu Ruolan had suffered so many kidnappings by assassins, and more and more powers behind the scenes have set their sights on Xu Ruolan, determined to put her to death!
So it turned out that Xu Ruolan had been secretly developing this thing.
“So that’s how it is.” Ning Fan suddenly understood.
People had constantly attempted to assassinate Xu Ruolan over this period, and the reason must be here.
Xu Erye might have attempted to kill Xu Ruolan to obtain the formula for the potion, and once Xu Ruolan was dead, he would inherit the Xu Family’s partnership in this secret drug, naturally falling to him.
The potential benefits are clear to anyone, and with such a stake, it was normal for Xu Erye to take a risky gamble.
Seeing Ning Fan lost in thought, Ajiu deliberately posed seductively, pulling her loose clothing down her shoulders to reveal her smooth and rounded shoulders, attempting to attract Ning Fan.
Ning Fan, jolted by the sight of Ajiu, quickly snapped out of his thoughts about the Genetic Potion.
Ajiu continued her act, as if she would directly remove her loose clothing and expose her perfect, exquisite body.
Ning Fan said helplessly, “Stop, I’m going to turn off the video.”
Ajiu glanced at him irritably and retracted her hand, looking at Ning Fan with complaint, “Don’t turn off the video yet, I still have something to tell you.
According to intelligence from the Phantom Guild, people from Mingwang Pavilion have already started to move.”
Ning Fan wasn’t surprised.
To get the Nine Souls Jade, he had killed the deputy master of Mingwang Pavilion, so it was inevitable that they would take action.
As for whether Mingwang Pavilion was investigating the cause of death of their deputy master or searching for the lost Nine Souls Jade.
Ning Fan felt there was no question about it; compared to the death of their deputy master, the Nine Souls Jade was more important.
And since this deputy master was killed in Zhonghai City, Mingwang Pavilion could naturally deduce that the Nine Souls Jade was still in Zhonghai City.
People from Mingwang Pavilion would likely appear in Zhonghai City very soon.
Ning Fan still remembered being secretly trailed by the Yun Ci Guild a few nights back, and although he had sent them away, the international assassin organization and their employer surely wouldn’t let the matter drop.
If the shadowy figure behind the scenes could afford to hire the Yun Ci Guild to search for the Nine Souls Jade, then they could certainly afford other assassin organizations as well.
Just then, Ajiu spoke again, “Do you remember the Rain Emperor, ranked in the top twenty assassins globally?”
Ning Fan replied, “Hmm.”
Ajiu smiled faintly, “He’s taken an interest in the Nine Souls Jade, and your head too.”
Ning Fan frowned and asked, “Is he coming to Zhonghai City?”
Ajiu nodded and said, “Of course he’s coming to Zhonghai City; one reason is to look for the Nine Souls Jade, and the other is to take revenge on you.
You killed his daddy, so naturally, he wants to fight you to the death.”
Ning Fan shrugged his shoulders as if it sounded familiar; Rain Emperor, an internationally ranked top twenty assassin, wasn’t weak in strength.
Because his identity as Phantom Asura had become known to Yun Ci Guild recently, it must have spread out.
That Rain Emperor wants to come for revenge wasn’t surprising.
Ning Fan asked, “When is Rain Emperor arriving?”
Ajiu shook her head coquettishly, “I don’t know.
That guy, Rain Emperor, appears and disappears unpredictably.
He’ll probably be here within two days, but maybe he’s already arrived.”
Ning Fan nodded.
“Asura, the situation seems a bit tricky.
Shall I go to Zhonghai to help you?” Ajiu asked with concern.
Ning Fan decisively refused, “Ajiu, you help me manage the Phantom Guild well, that’s enough.
I still need intelligence from you on this side.”
Muttering, Ajiu rolled her eyes at Ning Fan and said, “Yes, yes, you carry on chasing your girls.”
Ning Fan chuckled, then hung up the video call.
However, his mind was preoccupied with how to deal with the opponents who would soon arrive, most of whom were after the Nine Souls Jade.
Compared to that, the bio-weapons developed by Xu Ruolan seemed quite insignificant; the Nine Souls Jade was simply too powerful.
Ning Fan’s eyes narrowed; the inevitable was bound to come, and there was no escape.
Speaking of which, it was quite unexpected that Xu Ruolan was even developing bio-weapons.
Seizing the moment of calm, Ning Fan decided to check on Xu Ruolan and went to knock on her door.
Xu Ruolan opened the door to see Ning Fan, pausing for a moment.
“It’s so late, you’re not resting, what do you want?” Xu Ruolan asked.
Ning Fan said with a flattering smile, “The night is long, and I can’t sleep…”
Bang!
The door was shut firmly.
Ning Fan then said helplessly, “Miss Xu, I need to check on your health.”
After a while, Xu Ruolan finally opened the door, giving Ning Fan a glare, “Ning Fan, if you continue to be so inappropriate, I’ll have to ask you to leave.”
Ning Fan said with resignation, “I didn’t even finish speaking, how can you be sure I’m being inappropriate?
Don’t think too much, I’m only interested in your illness.”
Upon hearing this, although there was nothing wrong with his words, Xu Ruolan felt annoyed—his implication seemed to be, “Sorry, I’m not interested in you, don’t flatter yourself.”
With so many men fawning over her and pursuing her, why was Ning Fan so strange?
Xu Ruolan looked at Ning Fan coldly.
With a shrug of helplessness, Ning Fan asked, “Aren’t you going to let me in?”
Xu Ruolan stepped aside and let Ning Fan into the room.
Ning Fan took Xu Ruolan’s pulse, and as time went by, his expression became darker and his frown deepened.
He discovered something very strange: the Evil Gu, which was nearly cured, had quietly undergone changes and began to worsen again.
Something was not right.
Once the Evil Gu was expelled from the body, it shouldn’t linger or continue to intensify like with Xu Ruolan.
It seemed some people just couldn’t let go.
Ning Fan withdrew his hand, stood up, and looked at Xu Ruolan without saying a word.
Frightened by Ning Fan’s silent expression, Xu Ruolan quickly asked eagerly, “How is it?”
Ning Fan instantly recovered his smile and said, “Nothing’s wrong.”
Then, leaving the bewildered Xu Ruolan behind, Ning Fan walked out of the room.
Ning Fan sneered, thinking to himself that someone had the nerve to play tricks in front of him, and they certainly had some guts.
He had intended to play slowly.
But now it seemed the other side was rather impatient.
If that was the case, it was time to accelerate the process.
Ning Fan smiled broadly, thinking if they wanted to play, he would make sure they played their fill.
