"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.

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.
They had over 300 highly skilled mercenaries at their command. Wasn't that enough to stop Jiang Ning? Ko San must have been kidding.
"Don't try to provoke him," said Ko San. "I'm warning you. No matter where you are, even in the Middle East!" "Is he that powerful?" "He has probably gotten even more powerful," sighed Ko San.
Ko San used the manual to bait Jiang Ning, but all he did was drink tea. Anyone else would feel it was a great loss, but Ko San was very contented.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had already witnessed Jiang Ning's prowess first-hand years ago and Jiang Ning was clearly different now. He might have a weakness, but it could be considered his armor too! He was far stronger than he used to be! "Increase the level of security," said Ko San as he got up. "Someone might cto visit us late at night." "Yes, Mr Ko," replied the leader as he nodded.
Ko San stopped talking and turned to return to his room. Several steel A were safe security doors were keeping him sa from highly skilled martial artists, but they were useless against someone with remarkable skills and an IT expert like Jiang Ning. Fei was already waiting at the entrance when Jiang Ning exited. 'How did it go?" He placed a cigarette into his mouth and looked at the estate.
"I don't know," said Jiang Ning as he shook his head. "He hides his abilities and intention's well. Let's keep a distance from him for now." Fei nodded.
"Wait here tonight." S~ah the FindNøvel."'t website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. Jiang Ning walked over and sat down. Then he raised his head and looked up, "That fellow's bound to turn up." X
