Chapter 2239: Chapter 2239: The Ning Family’s Objective (First Update)

"Hey buddy, you’re awake?"

As Ning Zuo opened his eyes, he was met with countless eyes staring at him.

And that mischievous smirk nearly scared Ning Zuo senseless.

"It’s all a misunderstanding!" Ning Zuo hurriedly explained.

At this moment, Ning Zuo’s inner world was somewhat collapsing.

He came to cause trouble but got instantly subdued by a few people cowering in the corner.

Moreover, he was completely powerless to resist.

He truly couldn’t imagine what kind of people these were.

"Haha, don’t be nervous," Zhang Fan chuckled softly.

Looking at Zhang Fan’s smile, every hair on Ning Zuo’s body stood on end.

How can I not be nervous?

Why don’t you try swapping roles with me!

"Do you have any orders?" Ning Zuo asked, trembling.

"Is your Ning Family one of the legendary Ancient Martial Families?" Zhang Fan inquired.

Upon hearing this, Ning Zuo’s pupils contracted suddenly! Then he swiftly shook his head, "I wouldn’t dare. An Ancient Martial Family must have masters at the Bright Force Level. Our small family at most has masters at the Dark Force Level."

"Dark Force Level can also be considered masterful?" Che Hou immediately rolled his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan also rolled his eyes.

Not an Ancient Martial Family? The highest power is only at the Dark Force Level?

Alright, that’s truly worthless!

"So what is your purpose for coming to Capital City?" Zhang Fan asked.

After all, Elder Dong mentioned that people from their ancestral home rarely go out.

And now, two or three dozen people have come, indicating a special situation.

Ning Zuo said with a bitter smile, "The Family Head asked us to take over the Ning Family, gather all the funds, and buy medicinal herbs and some antiques!"

???

Zhang Fan’s eyes sparkled.

Taking over the Ning Family? Using all the funds to buy medicinal herbs and antiques?

What madness is this?

All the funds, is the Ning Family not going to develop?

At this moment, Zhang Fan also sensed something unusual.

This matter is very peculiar.

"What kind of herbs and antiques are you purchasing?" Zhang Fan asked.

"All medicinal herbs over ten years old, and antiques from the Warring States period or earlier!" Ning Zuo replied.

"What are they for?" Zhang Fan continued to ask.

In an instant, Ning Zuo again wore a bitter smile, "I have no idea. The Family Head instructed us to do this, but why on earth, it’s unlikely they would explain to us!"

Zhang Fan nodded, that’s true!

"Little brother, this is really just a misunderstanding. I didn’t know Ning FaWei, that fool, would come to provoke you. How about I bring Ning FaWei over and let you decide how to handle him?" Ning Zuo suggested.

Honestly, he didn’t want to stay here a second longer.

Being watched by over a hundred people, the pressure was immense.

Most crucially, his current power was at the SS-level Peak!

Yet he was instantly defeated in one move!

This power, even in their Ning Family, was considered exceptionally strong!

And yet, they were merely gatekeepers.

Regarding Zhang Fan’s identity, he formed a rough estimate in his mind!

Which is, this kid must be from an Ancient Martial Family.

Such terrifying entities from Ancient Martial Families are beyond the Ning Family’s capacity to provoke.

"Do you know the purpose of those people from the Dong Family and Ouyang Family?" Zhang Fan asked.

They can’t be here for the same purpose, right?

Ning Zuo immediately replied, "It’s the same for us. They’re just after herbs and antiques!"

!!!

In that instant, Zhang Fan’s brain worked furiously.

Something’s off, something’s definitely off!

Collecting herbs and such, people from the Ning Family’s ancestral home don’t come here, they just give orders and it can be done.

Why must they come in person?

Moreover, it involves using all the Ning Family’s funds.

This is undoubtedly killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Furthermore, he could understand solely herbs.

But what’s with the antiques?

"Which is more important, herbs or antiques?" Zhang Fan continued to ask.

"Antiques! If one is found, we’ll spare no expense!" Ning Zuo said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan pondered deeply.

Antiques! Antiques!

From the Warring States period or earlier!

Why must they be from the Warring States period or earlier?

This matter is somewhat bizarre!

Then, Zhang Fan looked at Guo Qixuan!

"Elder Guo, have you heard any news about this matter?" Zhang Fan asked.

After all, Guo Qixuan is an Elder of the Dragon Group, and a Grand Elder at that. He’s likely to have more information!

Guo Qixuan shook his head, "Haven’t heard of it. And none of the Ancient Martial Family members from our base have conveyed any information."

However, just then, hearing these words, Ning Zuo began to tremble all over.

The Ancient Martial Family members from our base???

What does this mean? What does this mean?

Being associated with Ancient Martial Families, what kind of identity do these people have?

Then Feng Zi looked at Ning Zuo and swiftly turned his head, saying to Gu Ying, "Take care of him!"

Shortly thereafter, Feng Zi looked over at Zhang Fan, "Zhang Fan, what do you think?"

Zhang Fan nodded and then stood up, heading towards the room.

This is kind of eerie!

Even though the Ning Family isn’t an Ancient Martial Family, people from the Ouyang Family and Dong Family’s ancestral homes have come.

And they all aim for herbs and antiques.

The critical aspect is their "do whatever it takes" attitude making Zhang Fan feel this is no trivial matter.

Therefore, it’s very necessary to ask Long Aotian, this opportunistic elder brother.

After all, Long Aotian is an influential figure; surely he knows what’s going on here.

Meanwhile, Gu Ying bent over and grabbed Ning Zuo’s neck to drag him away.

Aside from anything else, just coming to the gates of a Dragon member’s home looking for trouble is a capital offense.

Moreover, the previous conversation between Zhang Fan and Guo Qixuan leaked a small secret.

So Ning Zuo must die!

"It’s really a misunderstanding, truly." Ning Zuo’s expression was immensely fearful.

Because he felt the hand gripping his neck gave him no room to resist!

This power was unquestionably at the Dark Force Level!

Recalling Guo Qixuan’s previous words, "The Ancient Martial Family members from our base," he understood the identities of this group were absolutely extraordinary.

"Misunderstanding or not, it’s unimportant. Let me tell you a secret, actually, we’re all from the Dragon Group!" Gu Ying chuckled lightly.

Instantly, Ning Zuo’s body trembled.

Dragon Group?

Dark Force Level strength! That’s assuredly a Golden Dragon member!

"Dear brother, our Ning Family also has people in the Golden Dragon. You can’t kill me!" Ning Zuo shouted!

At this moment, he was truly scared.

"Haha, so what if they’re in the Golden Dragon. The one who just spoke with Zhang Fan is the Grand Elder of our Golden Dragon. Even he fears Zhang Fan somewhat; what does your Ning Family count for, daring to mess with Zhang Fan?" Gu Ying sneered, then exerted slight force with his fingers.

"Crack!"

Ning Zuo’s neck snapped instantly!
