CHAPTER 1489 USE YOUR INTELLIGENCE
"Congratulations, Fourth Young Master!" Nanshan was beside Fang Dong and he clasped his hands with a smile. "The Fang family will be yours in the future."
Fang Xia had asked for this.
He was still so lofty and boastful a few days ago, and now he was dead. Fang Dong hadn't even done anything and he had benefitted the most from this entire situation.
"HAHAHA!" Fang Dong laughed loudly.
He walked over to Fang Xia's body and shook his head as he looked at Fang Xia. "You were too confident of yourself. Jiang Ning dared to come to Mount Zhongnan all by himself and you thought that four bodyguards could kill him?"
"Nah, this isn't self-confidence, it's just pride. You thought you were really amazing, but it's too bad."
He narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Nanshan. "Have you confirmed that Jiang Ning has other pages of the manual?"
"I've confirmed it," replied Nanshan. "But it's not going to be easy to take them. This Jiang Ning is very powerful."
When he tried to assassinate Fang Xia the last time, if he hadn't run fast enough and Jiang Ning wasn't interested in killing him, he would have died there and then. He wouldn't be standing here right now.
"It's really rare to find a fighter of this level in the martial arts circles," said Nanshan. "Fourth Young Master, if you want the pages in Jiang Ning's hands, you have to use your intelligence and you must not try to fight him!"
Seven of the best bodyguards had already died at Jiang Ning's hands. Even if the remaining five fight him together, it wouldn't make a difference.
Fang Dong frowned slightly and didn't say anything.
Jiang Ning was just a small fry in the martial arts circle but he turned out to be so difficult to deal with.
But he had pages of the manual. That was the most important thing. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"Then tell me, how should we go about getting the pages intelligently?"
Fang Dong looked at Nanshan. This man was his trusted right hand man.
Nanshan hummed for a while.
"Fourth Young Master, I've discovered that Elder Hongshan's men have left the Fang house recently."
"Oh?"
Tve left someone to watch the movements of the elders in the house, so I'm always keeping watch on them. Elder Hongshan's trusted subordinate has been going places these few days," said Nanshan with a sly smile. "You aren't the only person in the family eyeing the position of becoming the head of the family. There are people who know they don't have a chance but want to try anyway."
Fang Dong's expression darkened.
Anyone who tried to snatch this position from him would end up just like Fang Xia!
"What's he trying to do?"
"He's sent out information about the manual. He's trying to stir trouble among the reclusive clans and use the chaotic situation to his advantage," replied Nanshan. "This is a pretty good plan. I'm afraid a few reclusive clans have already started making their move."
Jiang Ning was very powerful, but Donghai was even more terrifying!
Unless you were able to kill Jiang Ning with one blow, trying to get the pages by force was pretty pointless.
If you weren't careful, you might even lose your life along the way.
So one had to do this in a more intelligent way.
"I suppose you already have a plan.
Nanshan, I did not misjudge you after all." Fang Dong nodded.
"Fourth Young Master, you are too kind," said Nanshan. "I'm just trying to share the burden with you."
"The most important thing to do now is to watch and wait first."
Fang Dong nodded in agreement.
That was indeed the case.
The most important thing now wasn't to run to be the first in line to attack. He had to accumulate his strength and be prepared to dash out once it was time to harvest the fruit of victory!
Since Fang Hongshan had leaked information about the manual to others, then it mean that other people would make trouble for Jiang Ning sooner or later.
Once both sides were severely injured, Fang Dong could make his move.
Clever people should do clever things.
"Get someone to clear this place, make it look good."
Fang Dong glanced at Fang Xia's dead body and scoffed. There was no sadness nor pain in his eyes at all, as if the man lying on the ground had nothing to do with him.
"Don't worry, Fourth Young Master, I will make the necessary arrangements."
Fang Dong went back and Nanshan waved for his men to come out.
