Chapter 1530: The List
Hahn said, "It's what Emelin mentioned, and she gave it to you. Stop arguing and hand it over quickly."
Ling Zhenfei said, "If Emelin is indeed with you, then bring her out, and I'll ask her myself. Only if she tells me to give it to you will I do so."
Hahn chuckled and said, "I knew Emelin was right. The item is indeed with you, so hand it over now."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I can't control what you say, but whether I can give you this item depends solely on Emelin. If she says give, I give. If she says no, there's nothing I can do."
Hahn said, "Mr. Ling, you're a sensible man. This matter doesn't really concern you, so there's no need for you to be entangled in it. Do you even know what you're holding?"
"What is it?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
Hahn said, "It's a list of traitors, terrorist sleeper agents among us. If you hand it over, you could save countless lives."
Ling Zhenfei said, "That won't do. I don't know anything about lists or no lists. I only know that Emelin told me to protect this well, and now you're saying she asked me to give it to you. Why should I believe you?"
Hahn said, "It's not about belief. Otherwise, how could I have found you at this airport and known the item was with you?"
Ling Zhenfei curiously asked, "Since Emelin is with you, why not bring her out? So, what you're saying is false."
Hahn, slightly angered, said, "Mr. Ling, do you realize the consequence of what you're doing? We'll do anything to get that list. If you don't hand it over, it's as if you're an enemy of our entire nation."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I don't want to be anyone's enemy, but I've been told to protect this item, and that's what I'll do. As for other matters, I can't concern myself too much."
Hahn's face turned grim as he said, "Mr. Ling, you're being oblivious. If you insist on not handing it over, we'll have no choice but to take action."
Ling Zhenfei glanced around and noticed quite a few people surrounding him.
Among them were some skilled individuals, but Ling Zhenfei wasn't fazed at all and said, "I've never been afraid of anyone who wants to fight me. If you want to make a move, go ahead."
Before Hahn could speak, someone else chimed in.
"Ling Zhenfei, do you know how many people want you dead? Today is the day you die."
Ling Zhenfei looked over, seeing a big, tattooed guy who clearly wasn't up to any good.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I really don't know how many people want me dead. Who are you?"
The man snorted and said, "We're with Boss Feng. We came to turn you into minced meat today."
Ling Zhenfei knew that the feud between him and Feng Zilong was irreconcilable. Unfortunately, coming to Tangcheng this time, he was in a rush and had no time to handle issues between them.
Hahn said, "Mr. Ling, look at how many people want to kill you. But we're different. If you give me the list, I'll leave immediately."
Honestly, Ling Zhenfei was very hesitant in his heart, unsure if what he was doing was right or wrong.
If Mustafa was truly a bad guy, would doing this also make him a villain?
Furthermore, Hahn wouldn't let him see Emelin. Maybe Emelin wasn't captured at all.
Yet, Ling Zhenfei still had many doubts.
He had just arrived at the airport and received something from Emelin. Before seeing what it was, Hahn and his men had already brought him here.
Ling Zhenfei's curiosity was piqued; everything seemed too coincidental.
He had just gotten an item, only to be told it was crucially important. It seemed too much of a coincidence.
And if this item truly was so significant, why would Emelin entrust it to Ling Zhenfei?
Since Emelin wasn't in Hahn's hands, where had she gone?
Ling Zhenfei said, "Mr. Hahn, I genuinely don't know what to do right now because I don't know who among you is telling the truth or lying.
But a promise is a promise. Emelin asked me to protect this item, and no one can see it, so that's what I must do."
Hahn said, "Well, you're truly loyal and righteous. Let me be honest, Emelin indeed isn't with me, but now that you've admitted the item is with you, that's enough."
Hearing that Emelin was not in Hahn's hands, Ling Zhenfei felt much better, but he couldn't reach Emelin by phone, she wasn't with Hahn, and she had given him the most important thing.
So, where had Emelin gone, or what had happened?
Ling Zhenfei said, "Then enough chatter. If you want the item, come and get it."
Hahn bowed slightly to Ling Zhenfei and said, "I apologize. Originally, if it was just my men, perhaps I could spare your life. But now, with Boss Feng's men here, there's nothing I can do."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Those who wish to kill me risk being killed themselves. If you're prepared to die, come on."
Hahn nodded at Ling Zhenfei and then told his men, "Do it, and get me that item."
The people surrounding Ling Zhenfei soon began to close in, each brimming with spiritual energy and seemingly ready to make a move.
Ling Zhenfei was quite alarmed because he noticed the Curved Saber was also present.
This was someone who could fight Ling Zhenfei one-on-one for quite some time. If it weren't for the Curved Saber's negligence, defeating him quickly would have been difficult.
Hahn had two top fighters by his side, one being the Curved Saber, and the other Ling Zhenfei hadn't seen in action but assumed was equally strong.
The others weren't as strong but with a mix of Ao Ren, they all charged towards Ling Zhenfei.
Of course, Ling Zhenfei wouldn't just surrender. Even knowing he might lose, he was prepared to fight to the end.
In Ling Zhenfei's hand appeared the Dragon Tooth Dagger, humming as if it emitted a soft dragon's roar. Evidently, Ling Zhenfei's emotions stirred the dagger too.
The spiritual energy within him was also slowly flowing. At that moment, someone shouted at Ling Zhenfei and rushed at him.
These people evidently had no idea of Ling Zhenfei's prowess, but he quickly taught them a lesson.
Ling Zhenfei's Dragon Tooth Dagger first condensed spiritual energy, and then he faced the attackers.
This time, Ling Zhenfei showed no mercy. The Dragon Tooth Dagger whirled up and down, and although his full strength wasn't back, dealing with this group of small-time crooks was relatively easy.
After a few moves, several of those who initially rushed in were knocked down and wounded, lying still on the ground. It was unclear if Ling Zhenfei had killed them.
