"Boss, something's gone wrong!"
The underling had dialed Ning Fan's number, and without daring to ramble, he immediately shouted into the phone.
"What's the matter? Don't panic—tell me slowly!"
The other party's anxious tone made Ning Fan sense something was amiss. He tossed away his cigarette and asked in a deep voice.
Soon after understanding the situation, Ning Fan hung up the phone, snorted coldly, and strode forward.
Although the underling from Dragon Eagle Hall didn't know which group had ambushed their leader and cut off his ear,
Ning Fan had a quick thought and realized, this must be Long Tianze's doing!
The purpose was clearly to warn him not to interfere with the Genetic Potion anymore.
"Alright then, since you want to play, I'll play along. I just wonder whether you can handle the game, Long Tianze!"
A chill flickered in Ning Fan's eyes as he spoke coldly.
Although Ning Fan was not much involved in the affairs of Jianghu these days, when Long Tianze so blatantly bullied him,
if he didn't find a way to retaliate, he wouldn't be Ning Fan!
After all, the elder from Dragon Eagle Hall had some ties to him, and he had contributed significantly during the elimination of Elder Xu.
When he found the elder and saw the wound by his ear, a cold glint sparked in Ning Fan's eyes as he asked, "Elder, do you want revenge?"
The elder's eyes widened as he asked, "Boss, do you know who from which group hurt me?"
"Long Tianze, does this name sound familiar to you?"
"The head of Dragon Gate Martial Arts School?"
The elder was utterly shocked, immediately understanding why he had been ambushed.
"What, are you scared?"
"With Boss here, what do I have to fear? Just say the word, Boss, and I'd walk through fire and scale mountains without a frown!"
The elder leapt to his feet and declared loudly.
"Good, what you've lost, I will definitely get it back for you!"
Ning Fan's gaze gleamed with a cold light.
What came next was simple. With the elder's network in Jianghu, finding Long Tianze's hideout in Zhonghai City was comparatively straightforward.
Moreover, Long Tianze didn't even intend to hide. During this visit to Zhonghai City, he was conspicuously indulging himself in luxury estates.
Ning Fan and the elder arrived at the entrance, where the estate was brightly lit, and shadows of people moving frequently inside could even be glimpsed from outside.
Clearly, in Zhonghai City, Long Tianze hadn't ceased his collusion with the powerful elite!
Inside the estate, in the Emperor Hall, the door was pushed open.
Long Yao, a trusted subordinate of Long Tianze, entered the room. His lips curled into a cold smile as he placed a small box from his pocket on the table,
and cheerfully said, "Boss Long, the task is complete. As per your orders, we gave that guy a little warning. I believe he has already received our 'kind' reminder by now!"
Long Tianze opened the box and glanced inside—it contained a human ear!
It was indeed the ear of the elder from Dragon Eagle Hall!
"Not bad, you can go now,"
Long Tianze smiled faintly and waved his hand.
The lackeys around him also burst into timely laughter, especially Long Zhixin, who threw his head back and laughed, slamming the table as he said, "What nonsense about Ninth Master having a big reputation in Jianghu,
it seems that he's nothing special after all. We chopped off one of his underling's ears, and he didn't even dare let out a fart!"
"Haha, exactly, daring to go against our Boss Long, never mind Ninth Master, even Tenth Master or Eleventh Master, we'd make sure he doesn't have a spot to be buried!"
At this moment, the private room was not only filled with Long Tianze's men, but also many socialites and high-ranking officials. Because they were all in good relations with Long Tianze and frequently exchanged benefits,
they naturally sided with Long Tianze and began to praise his brilliant and courageous leadership.
Long Tianze smiled faintly, about to utter some pleasantries to wrap up the meeting, when suddenly,
A loud noise erupted, and the luxurious door of the Emperor Hall was kicked open with brute force!
"Who is causing trouble here? Do you know where you are? Get out of here now..."
The guard in charge of the mansion had no time to react before he was sent flying to the floor by an Eagle's kick.
He had been holding back a lot of anger, touch his wounded ear, and with a glint of cold light in his eyes, he yelled into the room, "There are accounts to settle and debts to claim, today I'm here for revenge on Long Tianze,
everyone unrelated get out!"
A booming shout, thunderclap on a clear day!
The lively atmosphere of wine passing and cheers in the private room was instantly shattered!
The socialites and dignitaries, unfamiliar with such violent scenarios, were terrified, their faces pale as if they feared being accidentally injured during the confrontation, quickly bowed their heads and hustled out the door.
"Well, well, you've found us so soon, quite the timely news,"
Long Zhixin looked at Ning Fan's grim face, chuckled, and pointing to a small box on the table, said, "Ninth Master, are you satisfied with this little gift, or should I send you another?"
Still harboring resentment from the public humiliation by Ning Fan at the hotpot restaurant, he had been waiting for an opportunity for revenge, and now Ning Fan had delivered himself to the doorstep, which made him overjoyed.
Ning Fan's face was expressionless, ignoring Long Zhixin's provocation, he moved a table nearby, sat down boldly, and his gaze was cold.
Ning Fan was in a black suit, which combined with his extraordinary demeanor, made him look every inch the refined successful businessman.
Long Tianze looked at Ning Fan's chilling countenance, yet he smiled faintly, flipping through the Bible he always carried, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, you came all this way and you're not even saying a word to me, God Doctor Ning?"
He did not address Ning Fan as Ninth Master, but as God Doctor Ning, a title used around Xu Ruolan, clearly implying that if Ning Fan failed to see reason,
and continued to stand in Long Tianze's way, Xu Ruolan's safety would be of concern!
Long Zhixin, who stood beside Long Tianze, did not have the same patience, stepped forward, pointed at Ning Fan and said, "Hey kid, Boss Long is talking to you, did you hear, or are you looking to die?"
Ning Fan's expression turned icy, he slowly lifted his head, looked at Long Zhixin, and said calmly, "Who do you think you are? Is it your place to speak here?"
"I am your grandfather!"
Long Zhixin shouted explosively and slapped toward Ning Fan's cheek.
Right then, Ning Fan suddenly moved, pulling a Short Blade from under his armpit and slitting upwards toward Long Zhixin's jaw!
With a dull sound, Long Zhixin's nose was sliced off by Ning Fan's move!
A bloody nose just dropped onto the floor, and even with Long Zhixin's tough nerves, he rolled around on the floor in excruciating pain, hovering between life and death!
Ning Fan sneered, retracting the Short Blade back into his sleeve.
