Billionaire God of War novel (Jiang Ning) novel Chapter 1688

"If I'm not mistaken, there ought to be nine pages," said Ko San as he smiled. "The pattern on the manual is quite inconspicuous, but I've touched it before..."

He reached his hand out as he spoke. His fingers were slender, and his fingerprints were distinctly different from an average person's. Given his trade, his fingers were probably more sensitive than a machine.

He had spent decades practicing, so he could sense a lot more through contact.

Jiang Ning knew that Ko San must have made a discovery the moment he brought up those etches in the pages, but his face remained expressionless and he didn't react.

"Your hands are very important to you," said Jiang Ning calmly to Ko San as he looked at Ko San's hands.

"That's right. My hands are probably the most valuable things I have," said Ko San with a smile. "I have them to thank for everything I possess."

"Since they are so valuable, then you should protect them well."

The two looked at each other and went quiet for a few seconds before laughing together.

"It appears that you aren't interested in the manual's background."

"That's right, I'm not interested," said Jiang Ning. "But your tea is good, so I might swing by for more."

Then Jiang Ning got up and bade farewell without saying more.

Ko San hid his true abilities well. He knew that Jiang Ning would be interested in the manual, so he used it to entice him. It certainly was a good ploy.

Anyone else would have lowered their guard when he refunded US$300 billion and offered clues about the manual.

But Jiang Ning was different.

He would never trust someone easily, especially when there were benefits at stake. Those are the times when things truly got dangerous.

Ko San watched expressionlessly as Jiang Ning left. He seemed to have already foreseen this outcome.

"Aren't we going to stop him?" asked the leader of the guards softly from behind Ko San.

"You are incapable of stopping him." Ko San shook his head and said in selfridicule, "I don't want this estate to get destroyed overnight."

The leader narrowed his eyes before looking up in the direction that Jiang Ning left in.
