“The system has announced it and all the players in the entire nation could bear witness to it.” Fearless added on, saying, “It is the prize reward for the champion, surely there are at least a few pieces of ancient-grade equipment…”
“Ancient-grade…” Martial Yin Yang frowned upon hearing what Fearless had said; to think this dog actually had the guts to say such words… This was a competition of such a small scale. The battle teams of many big guilds couldn’t even be bothered to take part in it. Having obsidian-grade equipment would be considered good enough, much less ancient-grade equipment…
“You might as well say it’s god-grade equipment?” Divine Soldier retorted, unable to tolerate such nonsense any longer.
“En!” Fearless stroked his chin and nodded, before replying to Divine Soldier’s retort, “You are right, it may jolly well be god-grade equipment.”
“I…” Divine Soldier was stunned speechless. He promptly added, “Brother, I was merely spouting nonsense, treat it as if I never said anything.”
“Same here,” Fearless said, laughing.
“F*ck!”
Divine Soldier was pissed.
“I’m sure we all know the value of Ancient grade equipment. Seeing that there were so many brothers that helped us out, surely we have to compensate them for that. Totaling it all up, you just have to pay 20 000 gold, how about that?” Fearless turned around and asked Martial Yin Yang.
“The f*ck?!” Upon hearing this, Martial Yin Yang clenched his fist tightly to the point where the sound of his bones cracking could be heard. He wanted nothing more than to throw it at someone. He was definitely not going to pay the money.
Seeing Martial Yin Yang’s reaction, Fearless promptly whispered to him, “20,000 gold is a small sum to a guild such as yours. If this matter were to be blown up, the damage dealt to your guild would definitely be more than this…”
This stab by Fearless went straight through Martial Yin Yang’s heart.
If news of the boss of a guild getting played like a fool were to be publicly released, it would be a tremendous insult to the guild. As big as the Divine Martial was as a guild, the members of the guild would surely be unable to tolerate it.
The source of income of a guild wasn’t solely from PVP matches, there were also the investments getting pumped in by the shareholders backing the guild. If the member count of the guild was to drop, it would be a huge impact to the bosses behind the scenes of the guild, especially more so now, considering the fact that the professional tournament was about to begin soon.
So what if Divine Martial Guild could win the tournament? The fact that the boss was humiliated to such an extent would leave a stain on the guild’s reputation.
It wasn’t easy for Martial Yin Yang to have climbed to his current position. If any issues were to arise, he would have lost more than just his job. In any case, the gold was the combined contributions of the guild members. Martial Yin Yang wasn’t stupid enough to prioritise their well-being before his.
“Eh…” After hearing the Fearless’ threat, Martial Yin Yang who was originally on the verge of exploding lowered his head once more and asked helplessly, “200,000 gold… is there any discount?”
The price set by Fearless was simply too high. As rich as the Divine Martial Guild was, this wasn’t an amount that they could easily fork out.
“You will have to ask my wife about this,” Fearless replied.
“Oh? Which of these two ladies is Sister-in-law?” Martial Yin Yang asked in shock while glancing between Yang Nuo and Ling Longmeng.
“Pah! Shameless!” Both of the ladies spit at Martial Yin Yang, before turning away.
“Since when did you have a wife?” Wang Yu asked, surprised.
“I don’t have a wife…” Fearless replied.
“But you said…”
“What I meant was, there is no room for discussion,” Fearless said, waving his hand.
“…”
“So? Is the price appropriate?” Fearless asked Martial Yin Yang once more.
“Can I say no?”
“No.”
“It’s appropriate!” Martial Yin Yang agreed decisively. Martial Yin Yang had finally realised for himself that the most fearsome player in Quan Zhen Sect was Fearless that brat.
As ruthless as Wang Yu could be, the worst he could do was kill a few people here and there. Fearless, this brat, was capable of toying with people and taking advantage of them; it was simply outrageous.
Seeing that both parties have agreed to the conditions, Martial Yin Yang immediately took out a contract worth 700,000 gold. Since this was a virtual transaction, it was tax-free.
After receiving the contract, Wang Yu gave the equipment deal to Martial Yin Yang. Fearless then walked to the resurrection point and shouted towards the crowd gathered outside, “Sorry fellow brothers, we were just joking around, all of you can disperse now. Once again, thank you for all of your help. In the future, if you require Quan Zhen Sect’s help, feel free to approach us.”
Upon hearing this, the tens of thousands of players gathered outside of the resurrection point retreated from the streets of Twilight City without a word of complaint.
Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, only then did Martial Yin Yang dejectedly stepped out of the resurrection point, leading the thousands of lackeys under him away.
The traumatic experience this time left a scar on Martial Yin Yang. He would surely not dare to enter Twilight City in the near future. Even though Divine Martial was known as a bully back in War God City, compared to the ruthlessness of Quan Zhen Sect, they still had a long way to go.
“700,000 Gold! That’s almost equivalent to 70,000 Gold per person! We are rich this time, f*ck!” After Martial Yin Yang left, the people from Quan Zhen Sect all surrounded Wang Yu excitedly.
For a large guild which comprised tens of thousands of members, 700,000 Gold wasn’t even enough for every player to receive a 100 Gold each. However, for a small guild that had a little over ten members, this was definitely a huge fortune.
Since the last time they had robbed Daybreak Studio, this was the first time they had seen such a large sum of money.
“What 70,000? Keep dreaming! We still have to split the money with other people.” Fearless said, glaring at everyone who was present, while at the same time seeming as if he was sending out a message to someone.
Shortly after sending his message, Fearless said to the rest, “Go! Let’s head over to the inn!”
The bunch of them then left the resurrection point and arrived at the inn.
The moment they stepped into the inn, Wang Yu heard someone welcoming them in, “Bull god, Boss Fearless, this way, this way…”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned over to look, only to see 8 to 9 people sitting around the biggest table in the centre of the inn. The faces of these people were not foreign to the group from Quan Zhen Sect. Sat at the table were Sanguine Warflag, 2012 and even Captain Don’t Open Fire, the Boss of Void Blade.
“Why are they here?” Wang Yu asked, confused. The rest of the people from Quan Zhen Sect had a blank face on them as well.
Among the group of people, only Sanguine Warflag could be considered an old friend. The group from Quan Zhen Sect were not close with the other players sitting at the table, all the more so for Captain Don’t Open Fire who was once their enemy.
“Hehe! Did you honestly think that the bunch of you would have been able to garner so much support within such a short period of time?”
“Eh…” Wang Yu was stunned. “Are you saying that it was their people that supported us?”
“A large portion of it was definitely their people,” Fearless said, smiling. After which, he strode towards the table and said to all the players gathered around it, “I have to thank everyone here for their support this time around. This 200,000 Gold was given to us by Divine Martial as a form of compensation. It is a small token of our appreciation for all of you.”
“No need for such words; we were merely helping each other out. Martial Yin Yang had it coming to him. Great God Iron Bull played a big role this time around.” The respective guild leaders humbly accepted the gold while throwing complicated looks at Wang Yu.
After hearing what Fearless and the group of people were saying, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect finally understood what had happened. Seems like this entire incident was one of Fearless’ schemes.
Fearless had received news about the incident from the start, thus he urged Wang Yu to start selling equipment… Afterwards, he brought over the people from Quan Zhen Sect to escalate the matter, while using the members of the various large guilds to act as players from Twilight City to surround Martial Yin Yang.
Given an opportunity to earn some free gold, who wouldn’t be willing to take it?
