CHAPTER 1679 NOT SIMPLE

Money was a temporal object, so Jiang Ning was never bothered by it.

He didn't like to touch money. Money was supposed to be used by people, but in reality, people often became a slave to money instead.

That was the greatest tragedy of life.

Ko San's estate wasn't all that famous in Seoul.

That was because Ko San himself was a very low profile man.

Only the extremely rich and powerful of Seoul would know him.

After all, it took someone with a certain level of wealth to be able to dabble in antique collection and maintain such high security.

This world was like that. Those who seemed very formidable were often not that amazing.

Those who looked ordinary and didn't even make any heads turn were often more than meets the eye.

Ko San was clearly the latter.

The car reached the estate and many fully armed men in uniform were standing at the entrance.

They inspected every car and confirmed that nobody had brought any weapons in. Safety was the top priority at the estate.

Anyone who could come for the auction might not be very powerful, but was certainly very rich.

DI DI DI...

The sound of metal detectors went off as the men inspected Jiang Ning's car twice before letting him in. These people were as strict as the security guards at a president's residence.

"These people are really strict. These mercenaries seem to be from that area," remarked Fei.

When Jiang Ning went to Las Vegas, he had come across mercenary soldiers from the war torn areas of the Middle East.

The Li family had been sent by Jiang Ning to the Middle East to pave the way for Lin Group to enter its market, and Jiang Ning had not checked on whether they were dead or alive.

"We have to go there sooner or later," said Jiang Ning calmly.

That was a truly insane place! Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Many people died on the battlefield every single day. They were working for money and for benefits, and their lives were worth less than grass.

Many scenes flashed in Jiang Ning's mind.

He had seen how the people there wandered around homeless, either separated from their families or were the only survivors from their family. The most pitiful victims of war were the homeless children.

Jiang Ning didn't want to even think about what would happen to all the children that were taken in by all these mercenary armies.

He shut his eyes and murmured, "I have to go there again sooner or later. I hope that there will be some change when that happens."

The car drove into the estate and there were men to guide their car to their designated parking lot.

Jiang Ning got out of the car and looked around. They were surrounded by fully armed personnel.

"Gentlemen, this way please.” Their entire journey into the place was under tight control. Even though they were already within the estate, they had to follow these mercenary soldiers and couldn't leave their line of sight at all.

"This Ko San is really not simple," whispered Fei. "How much does all of this cost?"

Feeding so many mercenaries was very expensive.

"Sometimes, it's not just a matter of money," replied Jiang Ning quietly.

He didn't think too much about this question.

His aim today was to get that page of the manual. As for who Ko San was and what background he had, Jiang Ning didn't care at all.

He could sense that Ko San had some connection to the Middle East, but what it was exactly wasn't very interesting to Jiang Ning at the moment.

Jiang Ning and Fei were led into the auction hall.

Just after they walked in, a Rolls Royce drove in.

The car was parked and Lee Seongbong walked out from the car with four bodyguards in suits.

"I don't think even Jiang Ning would recognize you with this face, right?" said Lee Seongbong without turning around.
