Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 369 The Return of the King
The price he offered made it clear that Shi Feng was furious about what Feng Xuanyang had done.
Any talk of misunderstandings was just a lie.
But everyone knew that anything could be called a misunderstanding. What was the point of having the police, then?
"Guild Leader Feng, I'm practically bleeding myself dry here. If you're not interested, I have plenty of other people who want to cooperate with me," Shi Feng said with a light smile.
Shi Feng wasn't lying. Several kingdoms outside Star-Moon Kingdom were interested in cooperating with Zero Wing, and some large corporations were willing to offer extremely high prices for a piece of Zero Wing.
Feng Xuanyang's face turned ashen, and the cold light in his eyes was enough to make anyone avert their gaze. Even Nan Lang, who was standing beside him, lowered his head, his legs trembling, afraid that Feng Xuanyang would lash out at him in a fit of rage. That would be a truly unjust end.
When had Young Master Feng ever been subjected to such treatment? Anyone who had dared to act like this in the past had always met a bitter end, yet Shi Feng had mocked him time and again.
No one knew what this Young Master Feng would do…
A long time passed.
"Guild Leader Black Flame, I'm being very sincere here. How about I only take 5% of the shares?" Feng Xuanyang said, suppressing his rage and speaking with unusual calmness.
"There's no room for negotiation. 0.1%. That's the absolute limit I can offer. If Guild Leader Feng isn't willing to be this sincere, then so be it. I won't force you." Shi Feng felt that Feng Xuanyang's behavior was out of character, so he was testing him. He didn't expect Feng Xuanyang to be so patient.
Feng Xuanyang was known for being arrogant and overbearing, quick to resort to violence at the slightest provocation. But now, he was actually lowering himself to bargain with Shi Feng. How could this not make Shi Feng suspicious?
When something is out of the ordinary, there is a reason.
Hearing Shi Feng's reply, Feng Xuanyang gritted his teeth, almost breaking them.
Ten billion credits was no small sum. Even he would feel a pang of regret if he had to take it out. If it was just 10% of the shares, he could barely accept it, but 0.1% of the shares was unacceptable to him, both in terms of face and psychologically.
"Black Flame, you dare treat me like a fool. I'll make you pay a hundredfold price sooner or later." Feng Xuanyang roared inwardly. As long as he became a shareholder of Zero Wing, he could investigate Zero Wing openly and aboveboard, and send people into Zero Wing's core. Then, everyone in Zero Wing would be at his mercy. So he suppressed his raging anger and said in a low voice, "I understand. I hope Guild Leader Black Flame won't disappoint me. Let's schedule a time to sign the contract right away."
Shi Feng was taken aback by Feng Xuanyang's attitude. He had originally thought that he would enrage Feng Xuanyang, and they would part on bad terms, perhaps with some harsh words exchanged, leading to a never-ending feud. This result was completely beyond his expectations. He could even tolerate this…
He was willing to accept even 0.1% of the shares. Either Feng Xuanyang was driven mad and was about to self-destruct, or he had some grand scheme in mind.
Seeing Feng Xuanyang's true colors, Shi Feng smiled and said, "Guild Leader Feng, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished yet. In addition to 1 billion credits, I also want 50% of Underworld's shares. If you agree to this, then I have no problems."
"Black… Flame… You're courting death!" Feng Xuanyang roared. He now fully understood that Shi Feng was indeed toying with him, and not just raising the price out of anger.
Shi Feng wanted to exchange 0.1% of Zero Wing's shares for 1 billion credits, and also wanted 50% of Underworld's shares.
What was Underworld? It was a super-powerful force far surpassing first-rate guilds. He didn't have even 1% of its shares, let alone being able to give Shi Feng 50% of them.
"Guild Leader Feng, are you going to drop the act?" Shi Feng smiled faintly. "I was planning to play a little longer."
"Black Flame, don't think that just because you can dominate White River City now, I can't do anything to you. You underestimate Underworld too much. Zero Wing Guild is just one of the overlords of White River City, and the cities around White River City are already completely under Underworld's control. Before long, I will personally kill you and make Zero Wing disappear from God's Domain completely!" Feng Xuanyang roared in uncontrollable rage, like a maddened beast, his voice hoarse and cracking, sending chills down the spines of those who heard him. "Black Flame, you could have had ten billion credits to retire on, but now you'll never have the chance. I'll push you to the brink step by step and make you regret your actions today!"
Hearing Feng Xuanyang's furious words, Shi Feng was first slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I'll be waiting for you."
Then, Shi Feng hung up the call.
Although he only said four words, the determination and confidence in his tone made Feng Xuanyang pause slightly, unsure of what to say.
Because Feng Xuanyang fully understood what Shi Feng meant.
Zero Wing Guild was not afraid of a fight. Come at us if you dare!
But Feng Xuanyang couldn't understand why Shi Feng could remain so calm in the face of ten billion credits, completely unmoved.
"It seems I need to speed up my actions as well." After hanging up the call, Shi Feng thought to himself.
His previous astonishment wasn't out of fear, but because he hadn't realized that Underworld was hiding so deeply and acting so quickly. If Feng Xuanyang hadn't lost his composure, he wouldn't have realized the situation was so serious, that Underworld had secretly taken control of several cities near White River City.
But Shi Feng was now relieved. Fortunately, he learned about this news early. There was still time to act. Those cities were probably just dominated by the guilds controlled by Underworld, not completely controlled and turned into iron buckets. Otherwise, Feng Xuanyang wouldn't have wanted to use ten billion credits to bury Zero Wing with him.
Currently, the players' levels were still low, and there was little communication between cities. But when everyone's level increased, they would need to go to higher-level leveling areas to level up. These higher-level leveling areas were located near the borders between the major cities, directly forming a siege against Zero Wing. Then Zero Wing would be surrounded on all sides, unable to let its members level up freely, with only endless fighting, eventually being worn down to death little by little.
But thanks to Feng Xuanyang's reminder, Shi Feng could take action earlier and prevent such a thing from happening in advance. Otherwise, when everyone's level increased, Zero Wing Guild would be in a very passive position.
Thinking of this, Shi Feng hurried back to White River City.
Arriving back in White River City, the Teleportation Hall had been completely repaired, and there were many more players on the streets. Most of these players were independent players, and whenever they saw someone wearing a Zero Wing emblem, they would reveal looks of envy and longing, making the Zero Wing members very proud.
As for Dark Star Guild and the other guilds, they now intentionally avoided Zero Wing Guild members when they saw them, no longer as arrogant as before.
Moreover, the independent players walking on the streets were all very high level, their skill clearly surpassing that of ordinary players. There were people everywhere forming teams to go to high-level dungeons and high-level leveling areas, far surpassing the players of White River City in the past.
Before Shi Feng had even left the Teleportation Hall, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere on the streets had changed somewhat. Almost everyone was looking at him.
"Isn't that Asura Black Flame?"
"Is Guild Leader Black Flame back?"
"Where? Where?"
"Wow, really, it's really him. He's so handsome, I can't take it, I'm going to faint…"
Shi Feng wasn't wearing his black cloak at this time, so he was quickly recognized, and everyone became excited. Some female players couldn't wait to pounce on him, screaming in the distance.
But before these female players could pounce on him, a group of people in gorgeous equipment, at least Mithril and above, all above level 20, walked over from not far away. These people all wore Six-Winged emblems, causing people to look at them with amazement.
These were the main force members of Zero Wing, and behind these main force members were thousands of elite members, moving in unison, their aura extraordinary, causing the players on the street to yield a path involuntarily.
These people had all come to welcome Shi Feng.
"Guild Leader, welcome back!"
Aqua Rose and Fire Dance walked over, looking at Shi Feng with a slight smile.
Shi Feng didn't know what to say, only nodding silently.
And so, Shi Feng, welcomed by the members of Zero Wing, walked all the way back to Starstreak Trading Firm on Central Street, with the players of White River City making way one after another, casting excited gazes, as if welcoming the return of a king.
