Chapter 2029 – Presumptuous Request
“Fifty percent?”
Cleansed Rue and her companions revealed bitter smiles.
Even losing 50% of the Guild’s Shops and Lands was unbearable for the Hundred Flowers Palace. Both were essential to a Guild’s developnt, and neither could be casually sold off.
If the Hundred Flowers Palace lost half of the Shops and Lands under its control, the Guild would be forced to limit the scale of its operations due to the decreased inco, even if the Guild could survive in the Dark Night Empire. If that happened, returning to the Guild’s forr glory would beco excruciatingly difficult Most of the Lands in major NPC cities were already owned, and even if they had the money, it wasn’t necessarily possible to purchase more.
“I know this isn’t an ideal offer, but we have our own troubles to deal with. You can return to your Guild and consider the offer carefully,” Shi Feng announced, watching the silent group before him.
“Guild Leader, our Guild intends to develop in the Twin Towers Kingdom. We’ll need a lot of manpower to accomplish this. So, we’ll need to know whether or not we’re going to help the Hundred Flowers Palace as soon as possible to see to the appropriate preparations. Otherwise, this alliance will impact our original plans,” Youlan hurriedly advised.
Cleansed Rue and her entourage’s expressions twisted further.
As Guild upper echelons, they knew that planning was necessary before a Guild began a large-scale operation. If Zero Wing truly intended to mobilize a large amount of manpower to lay claim to the Twin Towers Kingdom, then helping the Hundred Flowers Palace would beco far more difficult for the Guild. Zero Wing might even dismiss the idea of providing assistance entirely.
“How soon do we need to make a decision?” Shi Feng asked.
“A day, if possible,” Youlan replied after giving the matter so thought “That will be the opportune ti for our Guild to expand.”
Although Cleansed Rue and the other upper echelons wanted to comnt, they couldn’t bring themselves to speak up. They couldn’t possibly tell Shi Feng that they’d need a long ti to gather the Guild’s upper echelons and Elders, not to ntion the representatives from the major corporations that supported the Hundred Flowers Palace. One day simply wasn’t enough ti for the Palace to reach a decision.
In fact, the decision to abandon the Dark Night Empire and develop in another kingdom had only been made after a lengthy discussion. The proposal to partner with Zero Wing would likely take even longer. Too many people and organizations were tied to this matter, and persuading all parties involved would be extrely difficult.
“How is such a short ti enough to negotiate anything? Try to find a way to give them more ti!” Shi Feng sternly commanded when he saw the awkward expressions on the Hundred Flowers Palace’s upper echelons.
Deciding sothing so important in a single day was impossible for any Guild, especially a true veteran first-rate Guild like the Hundred Flowers Palace. Too many people held shares of the Guild.
“We can hold off for two days, but we will miss out on the opportune mont to strike in the Twin Towers Kingdom,” Youlan said, her imperative tone implying that Zero Wing would cough blood if it gave the Palace a second more.
“Thank you, Guild Leader Black Fla,” Cleansed Rue said sincerely. “However, before I negotiate with my Guild’s upper echelons, may I make a presumptuous request?”
“Let hear it. As a potential ally, I will help wherever I can,” Shi Feng said, nodding after giving the matter so thought.
“I’d like to borrow Zero Wing’s strength during the eting to show my Guild that we truly have hope offending off Starlink’s harassnt. I’m sure they will find it easier to agree to the partnership that way,” Cleansed Rue said as she turned to Silent Blade and the others, who stood beside Shi Feng.
Silent Blade and his comrades were all Level 61, Tier 2 players or above, and every one of them radiated a deadly aura. No Guild could afford to take their strength lightly.
If she could show off Zero Wing’s experts, she believed that she could persuade her Guild’s upper echelons to agree to this alliance.
After all, the Hundred Flowers Palace’s mbers would have a much easier ti developing if they could continue in the Dark Night Empire, where they were comfortable, rather than migrating to another kingdom.
“That won’t be a problem. Before your eting begins, I’ll send so people to express Zero Wing’s sincerity.” Shi Feng agreed. He understood Cleansed Rue’s thoughts.
Convincing people was easier if one provided a personal experience.
Cleansed Rue and her subordinates soon left Zero Wing’s Residence, returning to the Dark Night Empire to break the news to their Guild. They weren’t in such a hurry simply because of the ti limit Zero Wing had given them, but because the Hundred Flowers Palace didn’t have much ti left in the empire without help. They needed to move quickly.
After the Palace’s representatives left, the atmosphere in the Guild Leader’s office relaxed. Stubborn Bone and Remnant Cloud, who had both served as commanders of an adventurer team, couldn’t help but turn reverent gazes on Shi Feng.
Both of their teams had been well-known adventurer teams, but compared to first-rate Guilds, they had been insignificant.
Yet, they had just witnessed a veteran first-rate Guild like the Hundred Flowers Palace submit before Shi Feng.
“Guild Leader, although the Hundred Flowers Palace is in a precarious state right now, I’m afraid that Cleansed Rue will have a difficult ti persuading the Palace’s old mbers with her status as a Vice Guild Leader. I suggest that we send Fire Dance and the others to visit the Guild in the Dark Night Empire. If they attend the eting, I’m sure that those old mbers will agree to the partnership regardless of their personal feelings. If this partnership succeeds, developing in the Dark Night Empire will beco much easier. We won’t have to waste a large amount of ti and manpower building a foundation from scratch,” Youlan offered after Cleansed Rue and her companions had left the Residence.
“Forget it. Fire and the others are still participating in their special training. Let’s not interrupt them,” Shi Feng said, shaking his head. “We’ll just send Silent and his team.”
Although Silent Blade, Stubborn Bone, Remnant Cloud, and the others hadn’t been mbers of Zero Wing long, they had grown a lot stronger after training in the Lost Town’s Extraordinary Tower.
Shi Feng had to admit that the Realms of Truth training was imnsely helpful to expert players.
Despite the fact that they hadn’t yet entered the Realms of Truth, Silent Blade and the others had successfully mastered one or two Advanced Combat Techniques during their training in the Extraordinary Tower. With how close they were to reaching the Refinent Realm, their overall combat power could now rival true Refinent Realm experts.
Furthermore, Silent Blade and his team were geared in weapons and equipnt that even the various superpowers struggled to acquire at this stage of the ga. Only superpowers’ peak experts had a chance of defeating these Zero Wing experts.
“This...” Youlan could not help but worry as she looked at Remnant Cloud and the other players standing by Shi Feng’s side. Although she knew that their combat standards were on par with hers, she was concerned that they wouldn’t be enough to fulfill their purpose.
“Relax. I’ll give them sothing good before they leave. Once the Palace’s people see it, they’ll know what the wisest decision is,” Shi Feng said, chuckling. He then asked, “How is the material collection I tasked you and lancholic Smile with coming along?”
“We have done our best to gather as many of the materials you requested. However, the required stock is massive, and every material is incredibly rare. Even after raiding the treasuries in the Starlight Alliance’s two Guild Towns, we have barely collected five sets of materials,” Youlan said.
“Good! Transfer the materials to White River City’s Candlelight Trading Firm imdiately!” Shi Feng was ecstatic to hear the news. “Also, notify lancholic and tell her to gather the people I requested earlier.”
He had been waiting for this mont for a long ti. He could finally craft the Guardian Puppet!
