867: Chapter 856: Help Me Kill Konstantin 867: Chapter 856: Help Me Kill Konstantin Can we start talking now?
Teng Yunge stared at Ning Fan, his eyes unwavering, as if he wanted to fully grasp Ning Fan’s thoughts at this moment.
Ning Fan blinked and smiled, “Of course, we can start talking.
You can begin, I’m listening!”
Fei Peilie, upon hearing Ning Fan’s words, immediately started pacing around the room, then began doing the final checks.
Ning Fan watched his actions, while Teng Yunge also awaited the final message from Fei Peilie.
About five minutes later, after confirming there were no eavesdropping devices in the room, Fei Peilie discreetly nodded to Teng Yunge.
But just as Teng Yunge was about to speak, Ning Fan suddenly took something out; it was a recording pen.
“You don’t mind if I record today’s conversation, do you?”
Ning Fan shook the recording pen in his hand, which was a glaring sight in Teng Yunge’s eyes.
What made Teng Yunge feel disgusted wasn’t Ning Fan’s desire to keep evidence, but rather the distrust from the other party.
After all, recordings can be forged, so Teng Yunge wasn’t too worried, but Ning Fan’s actions really disgusted him.
So Teng Yunge, unwilling to be outdone, also had Fei Peilie prepare a recording, even though it was of no use to him, as revealing this matter wouldn’t have any benefit for him.
The reason for doing this was to prevent Ning Fan from having too much his own way.
“Two pieces of Nine Souls Jade, kill Konstantin for me!”
Teng Yunge said in a low voice, very directly, stating exactly what he wanted Ning Fan to do.
There was no buildup, just straight to the point; even though Ning Fan was prepared, and had already guessed, hearing this directly from Teng Yunge was shocking regarding this person’s ambition.
Anyone with any sense would know what Konstantin’s existence meant to Teng Yunge.
If Konstantin, the number one, were gone, then obviously Teng Yunge, as the number two, would take his place, no doubt about it.
“Though I had guessed it, hearing it from your mouth feels different…”
Ning Fan said wistfully, squinting his eyes as if in thought, then fell silent for a long time.
“I’m a man of my word.
As long as you truly kill Konstantin, those two pieces of Nine Souls Jade will definitely be in your hands.”
Once Konstantin is dead, those pieces of Nine Souls Jade, being part of his estate, would naturally be his.
Who Teng Yunge wanted to give them to would make no difference.
But Teng Yunge wouldn’t tell Ning Fan that these two pieces of Nine Souls Jade weren’t actually in his hands, but rather in Konstantin’s, or else it would just be an empty promise.
“…Who knows if you’ll burn the bridge after crossing it!”
Ning Fan looked at Teng Yunge with some suspicion; this matter was like making a deal with a tiger, so he couldn’t fully trust the other party.
He hadn’t even activated the recording pen in his hand because it was useless anyway, just using it to show his stance and to disgust Teng Yunge a bit.
The temptation of those two pieces of Nine Souls Jade was indeed quite substantial for Ning Fan, but he wasn’t a fool.
If he really completed this task, what if Teng Yunge burned his bridge afterward?
“If you’re scared, you can leave now.
I’m not exactly forcing you to take on this task!”
Teng Yunge said with anger, there were plenty of people stronger than Ning Fan, and he didn’t feel Ning Fan was indispensable for the task.
Ning Fan shrugged, not rebutting.
In truth, he was slightly afraid that Teng Yunge might actually walk away.
If that happened, it would be the signal of their formal confrontation, and talking about common interests would be impossible.
Teng Yunge would likely side with Konstantin against him, which would be detrimental.
Ning Fan didn’t want to engage in a losing venture.
He looked up, a glimmer flashed in his eyes: “Those two pieces of Nine Souls Jade, do they even exist at all?
Can you prove they really exist?”
Anyone can say anything with their mouth; who knows if what Teng Yunge said about the two pieces of Nine Souls Jade is true?
Teng Yunge anticipated Ning Fan’s doubts and immediately signaled to Fei Peilie.
Fei Peilie, understanding the signal, immediately brought up a video providing evidence of Konstantin possessing the two pieces of Nine Souls Jade, placing it right in front of Ning Fan.
“You can doubt it and go ahead and verify its authenticity; this video is the only evidence I can provide.
Frankly, I don’t trust you, so I won’t put the actual items in front of you!”
Teng Yunge squinted, not that he didn’t want to show the actual items to confirm the Nine Souls Jade was indeed in his possession.
However, the reality was those two pieces of Nine Souls Jade were not in his hands at all but with Konstantin; his words were half true, with the true part being the video as the only evidence he could provide, and the false part being that the Nine Souls Jade wasn’t actually in his hands.
“Alright, I can believe you have those two pieces of Nine Souls Jade, but what about the deposit?
It’s Konstantin, the number one of Umbrella; you expect me to take on such a dangerous task with just an empty promise, which sounds like a joke!”
Ning Fan sneered.
He could believe the existence of the two pieces of Nine Souls Jade, but for such a dangerous task, at least half the deposit should be paid upfront; that’s simply the rule.
If it were just an empty promise, Ning Fan wouldn’t take the risk.
Teng Yunge looked at Ning Fan blankly, though feeling somewhat uneasy inside.
Ning Fan’s demand for a deposit was understandable; the problem was that he couldn’t provide any of the two pieces of Nine Souls Jade at present.
Obtaining any piece from Konstantin would be a cumbersome task.
“Do you think there’s any possibility for us to continue this conversation?”
Teng Yunge still didn’t show any extraneous emotions, even appearing as indifferent about Ning Fan’s agreement or disagreement.
Seeing his indifferent demeanor, Ning Fan felt displeased, sneered, and almost walked out.
“No deposit, yet you want me to take on such a dangerous task.
You think too cheaply of it, do you really take me for a fool?
I’m telling you right now, if you don’t give me one of them, we have no possibility of continuing this conversation!”
Ning Fan said his piece and didn’t care about Teng Yunge’s reaction afterward.
