Chapter 2615: Chapter 2615: Only One-Tenth
Nangong Xu folded the paper with the remaining powder, planning to have it researched by someone.
Once there’s an antidote, a formula can be studied.
"Then we’ll see each other in a few days."
He smiled at them and walked away confidently.
"Nangong Xu, even if your people spend a year, they won’t be able to create that antidote," Ruan Tianling’s voice echoed from behind.
Nangong Xu turned and laughed, "Don’t worry, I have plenty of opportunities to kill you in the future."
This meant he wouldn’t trouble them now.
After pausing, he added, "I’ll have someone leave a helicopter for you. Whether you use it or not is up to you."
Having said that, he really left.
Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling also followed them out.
There were two helicopters parked by the seaside, Nangong Xu and his people boarded one.
The helicopter ascended and quickly left, creating some distance.
Jian Yufei watched the departing helicopter, frowned, and said, "I always feel things went too smoothly today."
Ruan Tianling had the same feeling.
Nangong Xu almost didn’t trouble them; he agreed to whatever they said.
He even handed over the Double Dragon Ring without hesitation.
Ruan Tianling looked at Jian Yufei, "Nangong Xu wanted that ring so badly before, why did he now give it to us so easily?"
Jian Yufei opened the ashes box and looked at the ring inside.
"Actually, the Double Dragon Ring is really useless; it’s just a token to officially become the Family Head. However, it does have another secret, but Nangong Xu doesn’t know, so he thinks it’s really useless."
Ruan Tianling speculated, "Is it related to the treasure?"
Jian Yufei nodded, "Yes, it’s related to the treasure. Now that the Treasury has been blown up, I don’t have to guard that secret anymore.
I heard from my grandfather that the Nangong Family divided the treasures in the Treasury into two parts back then.
The majority of the treasures were placed in a secret room with mechanisms that can only be opened with the Double Dragon Ring.
The treasures on the outside were only one-tenth of the entire Treasury, placed there just in case the Double Dragon Ring got lost one day, preventing them from accessing the treasures, so they left one-tenth outside.
However, one-tenth is already a large sum, enough to sustain the Nangong Family indefinitely.
Of course, they were afraid someone might unintentionally discover the Treasury, so they hid the majority.
The portion Nangong Xu took was just one-tenth; he didn’t know about the rest of the treasure inside and just blew it up. Those treasures will probably never surface again."
Ruan Tianling raised an eyebrow, not expecting there to be so much treasure inside.
"Let me see the ring." He extended his hand.
Jian Yufei took out all the rings and placed them in his palm.
Ruan Tianling picked up a ring and studied it.
"How do you use this?"
Jian Yufei explained the usage method, not hiding anything from him.
As they were discussing, Nangong Yi approached them.
Putting the rings in the box now would be too conspicuous.
Ruan Tianling discreetly slipped the rings into his pants pocket.
Nangong Yi’s gaze indeed lingered on the ashes box for a moment, "What’s this?"
Jian Yufei smiled and said, "My mother’s ashes, left behind by Nangong Xu."
Nangong Yi nodded and didn’t ask further.
He turned to Ruan Tianling, "Nangong Xu and his people have left?"
"Yes, they’ve all gone. My people will be here soon to pick us up."
As for the helicopter, he dared not use it, fearing there might be something wrong with it.
