CHAPTER 1687 MORE CLUES

Many emotions filled Ko San's face as though he was still reminiscing those times.

"After my enemy died, all his property became mine. Even this manual came from him," said Ko San as he smiled at Jiang Ning before he picked up his tea and gestured for Jiang Ning to help himself.

Jiang Ning didn't hold back.

This tea didn't come cheap.

"I studied the manual for a long time, but I couldn't wrap my mind around it. I'm guessing you know better what the patterns on the manual mean, right?"

Ko San put down his tea and continued, "To people like me, things like this are worthless. But for other people like you, it is priceless."

Since Jiang Ning spent US$300 billion to buy the manual, it was clear that it meant a lot to him.

"You're mistaken." Jiang Ning shook his

head calmly.

"I don't always spend money because things mean a lot to me," said Jiang Ning as he laughed. "Sometimes, I just like throwing my money away."

Ko San was stunned and went into a daze.

He only wanted to spend money?

Very quickly, his face reverted to normal, and he couldn't help chuckling.

"Mr Jiang is so interesting. Intriguing. Absolutely intriguing."

Ko San clapped his hands, and someone walked in from outside. Jiang Ning recognized him as the employee who was in charge of the paperwork for the transaction. This belongs to - ©.

"But I can't take your money," said Ko San. "Actually, I've already had the fortune of meeting you, and I owe you my life. I certainly think my life is worth far more than US$300 billion. Also, this manual was yours to begin with. Now I'm just returning it to its rightful owner.”

The employee refunded all the money back into Jiang Ning's card as he spoke.

US$300 billion!

Ko San was returning money that was already in his pocket. Judging from this, he clearly had plenty of money and didn't give a damn about US$300 billion.

It was surprising to find someone so understated within Korea.

The Lee family might have been the monolith that controlled Korea's economy, but they simply had a flashy appearance. On the other hand, Ko San concealed his true abilities well, so he was far more dangerous than the Lee family.

"Mr Ko is too kind."

Jiang Ning didn't care whether Ko San refunded the money in full since he didn't care about it.

Instead, he was intrigued about who Ko

San was.

"You're welcome,” said Ko San. "This money means nothing to you, but all I want is for us to be friends."

He was spending US$300 billion to make a friend. These rich people sure were straightforward.

Jiang Ning smiled without saying a word.

He didn't care how much money someone had if he wanted to be friends. In any case, no one was richer than him.

Friends either had common interests or shared benefits. After all, fair-weather friends were considered a kind of friend too.

Ko San immediately caught his drift when Jiang Ning said nothing.

Since they couldn't become true friends overnight, it was more persuasive and practical to give Jiang Ning something he wanted.

"Mr Jiang, do you want to know more about the manual?" said Ko San. "The manner I came into possession of it was rather dramatic. If you are interested, we can always chat about it. Maybe there will be clues to help you locate the rest of the pages."

Jiang Ning's gaze instantly altered slightly.

He stared at Ko San and said calmly, "You know there's more than one page to the manual?"
