"Miss Fang, are you in such a hurry to see me because you have good news?"
Ning Beichen met Fang Yi again.
Ning Beichen had some idea why Fang Yi wanted to see him so suddenly.
Although Ning Beichen knew that the Divine Thorn Alliance had nothing to do with Fang Yi, Fang Yi felt that she was somewhat suspected. Therefore, she didn't want to take the blame.
There was another reason.
This time, the strength displayed by Ning Beichen had also frightened Fang Yi.
If Ning Beichen suspected her of being the mastermind, she worried that she would also be dealt with by Ning Beichen, just like the Divine Thorn Alliance.
Although Fang Yi had known that Ning Beichen was very powerful and not simple, and that there was a mysterious force behind him, which was why she was willing to befriend him, she did not respect him much.
However, after Ning Beichen single-handedly eradicated the Divine Thorn Alliance this time, Fang Yi finally realized Ning Beichen's extraordinary nature.
For someone like him, even if she couldn't be his friend, Fang Yi didn't want to be his enemy.
"Mr. Ning, I do have some good news to tell you, which is why I specially invited you to meet."
Fang Yi said to Ning Beichen with complex emotions.
It was worth noting that just two days ago, she had only regarded Ning Beichen as a dispensable friend.
Despite her apparent enthusiasm towards Ning Beichen, she hadn't really taken him seriously.
Therefore, when Ning Beichen asked for her help, she had only perfunctorily introduced him to some high-level executives of the Creative Thinking Company, without any intention of wholeheartedly assisting him.
However, when Ning Beichen displayed his formidable power, Fang Yi knew that she had misjudged him. Naturally, she had to find ways to mend her relationship with Ning Beichen.
"Thank you, Miss Fang."
Ning Beichen did not expose her little thoughts. She was a local, and if she was truly willing to help, it would be much better than Ning Beichen fumbling in the dark.
"I have inquired about the matter of the equipment. It is useless to approach the high-level executives of Creative Thinking Company. They have no decision-making power. Even if they make verbal promises, they are just deceiving you. However, as long as the Habsburg family agrees, this matter might be resolved."
Fang Yi said to Ning Beichen sincerely.
"Habsburg family."
Ning Beichen murmured the name, and some intelligence about the Habsburg family appeared in his mind.
The Habsburg family was one of the oldest families in Europe, and they were very mysterious, seemingly having some connection to royalty. The origins of the Habsburg family could be traced back to World War I.
However, Ning Beichen had never dealt with the Habsburg family, nor did he have any connections with them. He feared that even if he asked, the Habsburg family would not give him face.
Of course, if Ning Beichen were willing to admit that he was the King of Darkness, he believed that the Habsburg family would definitely give him face.
But Ning Beichen did not want to reveal his identity.
Once his identity as the King of Darkness was leaked, the consequences would be far more serious than sanctioning Liu Yilin.
"Miss Fang, do you know anyone from the Habsburg family? Could you introduce me?"
Ning Beichen asked.
Since Fang Yi had asked him to come and leaked this information to him, she must have had a backup plan; she wouldn't just end it here.
"It's quite a coincidence. I do know an heir of the Habsburg family, his name is Nero. He is the son of the old patriarch of the Habsburg family, Old Nero. He will be here tomorrow, and I can introduce you then."
Fang Yi said to Ning Beichen.
She had called Ning Beichen here because she was confident. A mere piece of news was not enough.
"Thank you, Miss Fang."
Ning Beichen did not stand on ceremony. If it could be resolved peacefully, that would be best. He did not want to resort to any drastic measures.
However, Ning Beichen also knew that even if he could talk to Nero, the other party might not agree to help.
Although they were one of the oldest families in Europe, helping him would mean offending that superpower.
If Ning Beichen were in their shoes, he wouldn't easily agree. Even if he agreed, it would surely come at a great cost.
However, Ning Beichen had no other good ideas at the moment. He could only take it one step at a time. If all else failed, he would deal with it then.
Although he had the strength of a Grandmaster, many things in the world could not be solved by force.
The next day.
Under Fang Yi's introduction, Ning Beichen met Nero at an art gallery.
Nero was attending the opening ceremony of the art gallery. He had striking golden hair and was surrounded by many people, with two tall beauties by his side.
Ning Beichen glanced at the two tall beauties and a slight smile curved his lips. These two tall and sexy beauties were not mere decorative pieces. If Ning Beichen hadn't misjudged, they were likely Nero's bodyguards.
Although they were wearing dresses and looked fragile, Ning Beichen could see that they were carrying at least three firearms and daggers.
Furthermore, with his enhanced vision, Ning Beichen saw that the calluses on the thumbs of both women were clearly formed from years of holding firearms.
It wasn't surprising, really.
Nero was the next heir of the Habsburg family, so of course he would have protection.
"Mr. Nero, hello."
Ning Beichen extended his hand, but Nero showed no intention of shaking it. Instead, he glanced down at Ning Beichen and then turned his attention to Fang Yi.
Fang Yi was naturally alluring and had great appeal to men, and Nero was no exception.
Ning Beichen's hand hung in the air. Seeing that Nero had no intention of shaking his hand, he dejectedly lowered it.
If it weren't for Liu Yilin's matter, Ning Beichen wouldn't have bothered with a young brat like Nero. To shake hands with Ning Beichen, even the patriarch of the Habsburg family might not have had such an opportunity.
But now, Ning Beichen was asking for a favor, so he had to suppress his temper.
Seeing Nero's attitude towards Ning Beichen, Fang Yi inwardly thought, "This is bad."
She had only thought of arranging a meeting between Ning Beichen and Nero to see if this matter could be resolved through him, but she hadn't carefully considered Nero's attitude.
"Mr. Nero, this is my friend. He has something he wishes to discuss with you. Would you be willing to give him an opportunity?"
Fang Yi gave Nero a radiant smile, using a bit of her charm.
"Curious. Since it's Miss Fang's request, I'll give him an opportunity. But Miss Fang, how will you repay me?"
Nero stared intently at Fang Yi's face. Anyone with a bit of sense could guess what he was thinking.
