Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
Several men in black stood around; this was the Ma family's security detail, or more accurately, Ma Qiang's security detail. If Liu Ning hadn't been holding the file folder, Ma Qiang would probably have really fought him, since Liu Ning had used some underhanded methods. If Liu Ning didn't hand over the information, he might threaten them for life, which was something Ma Qiang would never allow.
When Liu Ning arrived at the coffee shop, it had already been cleared out by the Ma family. Several men in black stood around; this was the Ma family's security detail, or more accurately, Ma Qiang's security detail. Ma Qiang had brought only his trusted confidants; those he didn't quite trust hadn't been brought along. He was acutely aware of the importance of this information, so this meeting had to be kept secret. Absolutely no mistakes could be tolerated; it concerned not only his grandson's life but also his own.
When Liu Ning entered, Ma Qiang was already there, his face still bearing the same expression. However, Liu Ning could sense that Ma Qiang was extremely angry. If Liu Ning hadn't been holding the file folder, Ma Qiang would probably have really fought him, since Liu Ning had used some underhanded methods.
"Mr. Liu, is this how you do things? You publicly proclaim yourself an upright and honest person, but what do you mean by this now?"
Ma Qiang slammed the photos on the table, clearly furious. Liu Ning, however, remained unfazed. "I originally wanted to talk to you properly, but your temper is just too much. You made me leave after only three sentences. If you had controlled yourself earlier, things wouldn't be like this now. The current situation clearly shows that if you don't want to negotiate, we can end this." Liu Ning chuckled and gestured to the seat opposite him, indicating Ma Qiang should sit down. "We're here to negotiate, not to argue. Arguing solves nothing."
Actually, Liu Ning was testing Ma Qiang. If Ma Qiang sat down, it meant that this matter was very important to him, and there was no need to think about the rest. Everyone could resolve the issue properly. If Ma Qiang didn't sit down, then there was nothing more to say. In that case, it would depend on who had the stronger hand.
The room had been cleaned thoroughly, and Ma Qiang had also had it checked. There was no one eavesdropping, and no high-tech equipment was present. The inspection was very thorough. Now, looking at everything in the room, Ma Qiang knew he had no room for maneuver. Liu Ning was definitely after the Magic Crystal.
Ma Qiang wanted to cooperate with Liu Ning, but he had to get all the information from Liu Ning first. If Liu Ning didn't hand over the information, he might threaten them for life, which was something Ma Qiang would never allow.
Speaking of his grandson, Ma Qiang secretly wanted to kill him. It didn't matter how much trouble he caused outside, but he absolutely couldn't let the transport team get involved. Now that his grandson had gone so far, this matter would not only kill him, but also bring misfortune to his grandfather. However, there was no use talking about it now; it was up to him to deal with Liu Ning. So Ma Qiang calmly sat down, trying to control his emotions. He knew he was now being held hostage.
"Mr. Ma, there's no need to worry too much. I have my own principles when it comes to doing things. All the information is here. As long as you nod your head and help me get that magic crystal, I will hand over all the information to you without any residue. If I don't get the magic crystal because of your own incompetence, I won't blame you. Just show me the way."
Liu Ning presented the documents on the table, which greatly surprised Ma Qiang. In fact, Liu Ning was unwilling to do such a despicable thing, but he had no choice now. Every magic crystal was very important, and Liu Ning would never give up on a clue.
Ma Qiang looked at Liu Ning with some surprise. He had originally thought that this guy would talk to him arrogantly, and might even take the information and threaten him to make him work for Liu Ning for the rest of his life. After all, the information in the document was very important. If Liu Ning really did that, Ma Qiang really had no other choice at the moment and could only obediently listen to Liu Ning.
“Mr. Ma, you don’t need to look at me like that. Although what I did was despicable, it was all for the purpose of establishing a cooperative relationship with you. Of course, this kind of thing will only happen once.”
Liu Ning felt a little uncomfortable under their gaze. He felt he had to explain himself, in case they thought he was that kind of person. Having more friends meant more opportunities in the future. The Ma family couldn't possibly become an enemy. Among the eight major groups, Liu Ning had already offended the Niu family, and there were many more enemies outside. So, he should try to win over one or two people if possible. He couldn't treat everyone as his enemy.
"If you can guarantee that there is no other information outside, I will help you look into this matter. However, I cannot guarantee that it will reach you. You know what magic crystals are. Our Ma family does indeed possess a magic crystal, which I can confirm to you. But you also know my capabilities. I am merely the Ma family's representative in this city. If I have a magic crystal, I will hand it over to you immediately. As for the Central Base City, I can only inquire about it for you. Whether they want something or are willing to exchange it is beyond my authority."
The Ma family obtained the magic crystal by chance. At that time, not many people valued magic crystals. When did they start to value them? It was because a member of a large family was captured by a ferocious beast, and they needed to form a strong team. The team needed warriors and mentalists. If they could have a mage, that would be even better. But none of the mages were willing to risk their lives. So they brought out the magic crystal. It was from that time that everyone basically realized the importance of the magic crystal. If you want a mage to get rid of their possessions, this thing is definitely the best catalyst.
It was from that time that everyone realized the importance of this thing. Originally, this thing could be bought for a few billion yuan, but it suddenly skyrocketed to several hundred billion yuan, and no one would sell it. Who dares to say that they can't beg for a magician in their lifetime? Their strength is so great that they can even save you from the mouth of a ferocious beast. So magic crystals are really important stuff.
