Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Chapter 619 Sniper Rifle Blueprints

These words made Jiang Nian uncomfortable, as if she were someone being forced to sell herself and had to accept the conditions offered by the other party.

"Now that the sniper rifle has been built, what difference does it make who tries it? Why do you insist on making me go?"

Jiang Nian wasn't one to beat around the bush, so without hesitation, she directly expressed her confusion.

Jiang Nian was relatively able to control her emotions in front of An Yang.

Otherwise, if the person in front of him were Dark Eagle, Jiang Nian would have already taken action after hearing such words, regardless of whether the other party was one of the three leaders of the Shadow Organization.

"We've had the blueprints for this sniper rifle for quite some time now. We've even built several based on the original blueprints. To be honest, this kind of sniper rifle is already sufficient for the arms trade. But our organization is very meticulous, so we wanted to perfect it. Besides you, several other researchers were also modifying this rifle, but only the blueprints you submitted were truly perfect, and not a single researcher raised any objections. You could say that you are the creator of this sniper rifle. So after others tried the rifle, we all hoped that you could try it yourself."

After a long silence, An Yang finally spoke slowly.

He seemed to be explaining why Jiang Nian was asked to test the gun, but it also seemed like he was just giving a perfunctory answer.

Whether the blueprints were perfect or not, Jiang Nian knew best. An Yang's explanation wasn't entirely unreasonable, but Jiang Nian had a feeling that An Yang was only giving a superficial reason, and the real answer was probably only known to the three leaders of the Shadow Organization.

"I don't want to test the gun."

Faced with An Yang's ambiguous explanation, Jiang Nian simply narrowed his eyes and said in a calm tone.

He spun his chair, leaned forward slightly, placed his hands on the table, and stared intently at An Yang's mask, as if trying to see what An Yang was thinking deep in his heart through his eyes.

Faced with Jiang Nian's straightforward rejection, An Yang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

An Yang's reaction left Jiang Nian somewhat puzzled. He didn't quite understand what the other party was thinking.

After all, An Yang's reaction was completely unexpected by Jiang Nian.

"How about this? As long as you try, I'll add another 25% to the gold you get from this transaction."

After stopping his laughter, An Yang said to Jiang Nian with a serious expression.

Add another 25% gold?

In this way, half of the gold in this transaction ended up in his own hands.

What exactly are An Yang and his group trying to do?

"I need to go back and think about it. I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

After saying that, Jiang Nian stood up and walked towards the conference room door.

Just as Jiang Nian's hand touched the doorknob, An Yang's voice came from behind.

"I promise to give you 25% of the gold; I can make that decision. If you can't give me an answer by tomorrow, your treatment here will change. Comrade Jiang Nian, you're a smart man; I hope you think this through carefully."

After hearing An Yang's words, Jiang Nian did not react at all, and still opened the meeting room door and walked out.

Only Jiang Nian himself knew that his heart was far from as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Will not testing the gun lead to a change in my treatment within the Shadow Organization?

Jiang Nian clearly understood the threat in An Yang's tone.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. Just because he refused to test the gun, he's already resorting to threats? What, does he look so easy to bully?

All things considered, since joining the Shadow Organization, his treatment has been almost second only to the three leaders.

Now that we're going to lower our pay, it doesn't seem like such a big deal, does it?

However, as soon as Jiang Nian returned to her room, she felt that something was not right.

Without even thinking, he walked straight toward the laboratory.

At this moment, the door to the laboratory with its nameplate hanging on it had been opened.

Through the glass wall, Jiang Nian could clearly see that Dark Eagle was standing in front of the experimental table, and in his hand was the original sniper rifle that Jiang Nian had asked Dark One to bring over earlier.

Jiang Nian was taken aback and immediately rushed over, snatching the sniper rifle from Dark Eagle's hand.

"What do you mean by this?" Dark Eagle's face darkened, and he questioned him sternly.

In Dark Hawk's view, even if this is Jiang Nian's laboratory, it is still Shadow's base.

As one of the three powerful figures, am I not even qualified to hold a sniper rifle?

Jiang Nian stared at him angrily and even snatched the sniper rifle from his hand; it was a clear provocation.

“This is my lab. You have no right to take anything from me.”

Compared to Dark Hawk's fury, Jiang Nian appeared much calmer. The moment he held the sniper rifle in his hand, his mood calmed down. Because in that instant, Jiang Nian had already begun communicating with the system in his mind.

"System, I need to check if Dark Hawk tested this gun just now?"

Jiang Nian personally modified this sniper rifle, and he was extremely familiar with its performance.

For that reason, he doesn't want anyone from the Shadow Organization to come into contact with this gun for the time being.

Jiang Nian hadn't expected anyone to be able to enter his lab, because during his time at the Shadow Base, even when An Yi came to see him, he only stood at the lab door and pressed the call button. Jiang Nian had never let An Yi into his lab. That's why Jiang Nian felt he had been careless this time.

He should be wary of Dark Hawk.

Earlier in the lobby, Dark Eagle seemed most eager to have Jiang Nian test the gun, showing the urgency he had.

“The entire Shadow Organization is my territory, including your laboratory. Jiang Nian, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have Dark Ocean backing you. Bring me the sniper rifle.”

After hearing Jiang Nian's words, Dark Eagle suddenly burst into laughter, then stared at Jiang Nian and said, word by word, his tone full of sarcasm.

Dark Eagle felt that after all this time, Jiang Nian still hadn't grasped one fact—even if Jiang Nian received good treatment in the Shadow Organization and he had given him sufficient status and position, it didn't mean that Jiang Nian could be so disrespectful to him, the person in charge.

Dark Hawk's gaze was sharp as a knife, fixed on the sniper rifle in Jiang Nian's hand. His eyes gradually became intense.

It was the same sniper rifle, exactly the same, but from the moment Dark Hawk picked it up, he felt a completely different feel compared to before.

This feeling was indescribable. But Dark Hawk felt that the gun had undergone a tremendous change. That was why he was so eager to test it and perform a complete inspection.

Ultimately, this gun was modified by Jiang Nian. Only Jiang Nian could provide the perfect solution and the most reasonable explanation for any problems it might have. At this moment, Dark Eagle urgently wanted Jiang Nian to test the gun immediately. Moreover, Dark Eagle wasn't so much anxious about Jiang Nian trying out the sniper rifle built according to the modified blueprints—he wanted Jiang Nian to try out the one in front of him.

"Fine, then change my treatment. It doesn't really matter anyway, you're the boss, you decide, do whatever you want!"

Jiang Nian suddenly changed his expression, spread his hands, shrugged, and said this indifferently. Then he casually sat down on the chair next to him and looked at An Ying indifferently, as if he were looking at a child throwing a tantrum.

What?

Jiang Nian's attitude completely stunned Dark Eagle. He was even a little confused—what exactly did Jiang Nian mean by this?

The person who was just confronting me suddenly dropped their sniper rifle and changed their attitude, acting completely indifferent. Could it be that everything before was just me overthinking things?

Dark Eagle glanced at the sniper rifle that Jiang Nian had casually tossed on the table, a hint of doubt and suspicion flashing in his eyes.

He wondered if his judgment was wrong.

"What, Dark Hawk? As one of the three leaders of the Shadow Organization, you don't even dare to try out this sniper rifle yourself?"

Jiang Nian changed his strategy, gradually forcing Dark Eagle to pick up the sniper rifle.

Dark Hawk stared intently at the sniper rifle on the table, but his feet seemed rooted to the spot. He tried to take a few steps forward to pick up the gun, but he couldn't bring himself to take that step.

Even through the mask, Dark Eagle could almost see the mocking smile on Jiang Nian's face. Thinking of this, his initial anger subsided considerably.

“You’re right, I should definitely try out this sniper rifle. After all, it’s the latest model developed by Country Y. Although it may not be as perfect as the one you modified, I believe it’s still quite perfect.”

After his anger subsided, Dark Hawk calmed down. He smiled slightly, stepped forward, and picked up his sniper rifle.

After saying that, Dark Eagle turned and walked towards the testing ground behind the laboratory.

Jiang Nian squinted as he watched Dark Eagle's figure disappear behind the door of the testing ground. A dark glint flashed in his eyes, and some thought crossed his mind.

"Dear host, friendly reminder! Dark Hawk has set up its sniper rifle and is ready to fire!" The system's voice suddenly rang in Jiang Nian's mind at this moment, and it seemed to carry a bit of emotion, sounding somewhat excited.

"So what if I shoot? What else can I do? Didn't you hear what they said? He's one of the three leaders of the Shadow Organization. I'm just a lowly researcher. Do you think I can just snatch a gun from him?"

Jiang Nian appeared completely unconcerned about the system's notification.

Jiang Nian doesn't want to have a direct conflict with Dark Eagle in this area for the time being.

"If this gun is left here, its secrets will be discovered sooner or later. Now that Dark Eagle has found it, it's not a big deal."

Although he said this to the system, Jiang Nian still felt inexplicably nervous.

If Dark Hawk has already discovered that secret, how will he react?

Jiang Nian suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

Perhaps, giving Dark Hawk something to do so he won't bother me anymore is a good option.

At the testing ground.

Dark Hawk had already set up the sniper rifle.

Looking at the distant target through the scope, Dark Eagle suddenly recalled Jiang Nian's ambiguous smile and sarcastic words.

After taking a deep breath, Dark Hawk finally pulled the trigger. He refused to believe that this sniper rifle was truly without any problems.

Despite saying that, Dark Eagle's heart was not at peace.

In an instant, the distant target was shot down.

Taking off his goggles and looking at the target in the distance, Dark Eagle felt a surge of shock. Sure enough, he had said that anything related to Jiang Nian would change.

Picking up his sniper rifle, Dark Hawk left Jiang Nian's laboratory immediately.

As he passed Jiang Nian, Dark Eagle paused slightly. He glanced at Jiang Nian's nonchalant and carefree demeanor, snorted coldly, and without a word, hurriedly left with his sniper rifle.

Inside the private meeting room of the three leaders of the Shadow Organization.

An Ye and An Yang rushed over.

There was no other way. After Dark Hawk issued the emergency assembly order, he kept calling them and demanding that the two of them get to the conference room as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, Dark Eagle would have to declare war on Dark Ocean and Dark Night directly.

Dark Eagle has always had the most volatile temper. Dark Night and Dark Ocean know him well enough. Precisely because they know him, the two still rushed over when they heard Dark Eagle's threat.

After all, only the two of them together could subdue Dark Hawk in its berserk state.

However, upon arriving at the conference room and seeing the sniper rifle on the table, countless question marks simultaneously appeared above their heads.

An Ye glanced at An Yang, his eyes asking, "Could it be that there's something wrong with this sniper rifle again?"

An Yang shrugged and spread his hands, indicating that he knew nothing.

Both of them turned their puzzled gazes toward Dark Eagle.

Dark Eagle naturally observed the interaction between Dark Night and Dark Ocean. However, he merely raised an eyebrow and said nothing. Only when both of them looked at him did he speak properly.

“This sniper rifle isn’t a later modification; it’s the original one. Back then, Jiang Nian had An Yi give him a finished sniper rifle, and it’s been kept in Jiang Nian’s lab ever since. I went to Jiang Nian’s lab today and found this rifle. I felt it was a bit different from the previous one, so I tested it. I’ve already printed out the test results report; it’s on the table. Take a look for yourselves. After you’ve read it, let me know what you think.”

This time, Dark Hawk appeared much calmer. He pointed to the two reports on the table and explained.

"You went to Jiang Nian's lab?"

Upon hearing Dark Eagle's words, Dark Ocean's first reaction was the same. He immediately yelled at Dark Eagle, "Didn't I tell you that's Jiang Nian's own laboratory?"

Everyone had agreed beforehand that while he was in the Shadow Organization, no one would interfere with his experiments, and no one could enter his laboratory without Jiang Nian's permission. How did Dark Eagle manage to break in? (End of Chapter)
