Li Huailin had just picked up his equipment and left the dungeon. He did not expect to see this group of people as soon as he exited the return point. Seeing the group of people answering in unison, Li Huailin was a little surprised. Rebirth's side had recovered quite quickly. It seemed that their morale was quite high.
"Brother Awesome, congratulations." On the other side, Ni Feng had also recovered from his initial shock. He didn't say anything but merely congratulated Luo Yunyang.
"Oh, thank you for your assistance," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Assistance?" Counter Front was stunned. What did he mean by assistance?
"If you didn't hire so many people to attack me, I wouldn't have gone out of my way to clear this dungeon. So, this is also a credit to you guys," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Hire people to attack you?" Ni Feng, on the other hand, had no idea what was going on. He hadn't even logged off yet. He was so focused on clearing the Instance Dungeon that he didn't even know about the war of words on the forum.
"Hmm … You look like you don't know. What's the actual situation? 876XXXXX. This is your company's phone number, right? "Li Huailin said.
"Hmm …" Counter Front thought for a while. This phone number did seem to be from the company, so he nodded. "Yes, why?"
"At 6: 12 pm, this phone call contacted three black studios. You guys from Gods are quite familiar with this business. It seems that it's not your first time doing this. But isn't it a little cheap?" Li Huailin said.
As he spoke, Li Huailin looked at Counter Front's expression. However, after listening to Li Huailin's words, Counter Front's first expression was not surprise after being exposed, but suspicion and a little anger. If this was acting, it was a little too good. However, Li Huailin noticed that Madam of Gods, Sleeping In Dreams, had a look of disbelief. She almost wanted to ask the question, "How did you know?"
"Huailin, did we misunderstand something?" Counter Front thought for a while and said, "This time, we Gods did lose, but we can afford to lose. We have no intention of contacting black studios."
Black Studio, this was just a name used in the industry. In fact, it referred to a studio that had not been registered. Basically, the work they did was very shady, including hunting down, harassing other people's games, provoking other people to hack them to death, making them red-named, spreading rumors, and defaming others on the forums.
Counter Front knew about this because Gods had indeed contacted such studios in the past. However, it was a long time ago. After all, when you were starting out, it was impossible to beat others without some tricks. Later, as the guild slowly grew stronger, Counter Front basically did not use this kind of trick. If word got out, it would be really bad for their guild's image. At that time, Gods did not need to use this kind of trick. They would only use this kind of trick if they could not win in a head-on fight. Who could Gods not win in a head-on fight? So when they heard Li Huailin say that he contacted Black Studios, their first reaction was doubt, and the second reaction was anger.
"It doesn't seem to be a misunderstanding because the phone was indeed sent from your company. Do you need me to give you a list of the phone numbers?" Li Huailin said simply.
"No need …" Counter Front also took it seriously because Li Huailin did not seem to be joking. Phone numbers were actually quite easy to get. Counter Front could get it themselves. Since Li Huailin dared to say it, there must be some evidence for this matter. Turning around, Counter Front turned to the group standing behind him. Because this group of people had the most grievances, they were the first to suspect.
"Who did it?" Counter Front said a little angrily. It was not that he was angry that the other party used a little trick. That was a small matter. The big thing was that he did not know about this matter and actually did it behind his back. This was something that Counter Front could not forgive.
The team members looked at each other. On this side, Sleep In Dreams could not hold it in anymore because she was the one who did it. After going offline, Counter Front would be able to find out the truth when they went to the company. Looking at the angry look on Counter Front's face, Sleep In Dreams thought it was better to admit his mistake now.
Just as he was about to step forward, someone suddenly raised his hand and said, "Sorry, Guild Leader, I did it."
Sleep In Dreams was stunned. He turned around and saw that it was the warrior with a sword. This matter really had nothing to do with him. Sleep In Dreams did this alone and did not have any accomplices at all. So when he stood up with a sword, Sleep In Dreams did not know what was going on.
"Sword? It's you? " Counter Front also felt a little strange. This was because his impression of Sword Wielding did not seem to be such a person. He also did not know that he had any connection with the Black Workshop.
"Yes, I really could not stand watching Rebirth's tricks, so I took action. It's my fault for not telling you beforehand," Sword Wielding immediately said.
"Guild Leader, Sword Wielding did not do anything wrong. Rebirth has really gone too far this time." "That's right, Guild Leader." The Gods group was still very united. As soon as they saw Sword Wielding, who was usually very popular, stand up, the team members on this side quickly spoke up for him.
"Stop talking, all of you!" Counter Front said with a slightly dignified tone. Immediately, everyone quieted down. Everyone knew that at this time, Counter Front was very serious. There was no need to add fuel to the fire.
Turning around, Counter Front looked at Li Huailin with some seriousness and said, "This matter is indeed our fault. Our own guild will also deal with this person. I would like to apologize to you for what happened to the Black Workshop."
Naturally, Counter Front would not hand the person over to Li Huailin. Although he had made a mistake, it was still his own guild. It was impossible to hand it over to an outsider. This was an issue of the guild's reputation, so Counter Front had no problem dealing with it. However, the problem was that Li Huailin had never been in a big guild before. He did not know the system of big guilds at all. Hearing that Counter Front was obviously covering up for someone, Li Huailin's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Alright, Counter Front's guild leader is indeed selfless. Let's deal with it this way. Oh right, I still have something to do. Good night, Counter Front's guild leader," Li Huailin said as he waved his hand.
"Wait …" Counter Front still wanted to say something, but Li Huailin could not be bothered with him. He directly walked to the side of the Teleportation Point and teleported away.
"It seems like the other party is not very satisfied," one of the Gods's officials, Giant Deer, said as he walked to Counter Front's side.
"I can see that." Counter Front nodded. Although Li Huailin's answer was very good, his attitude was obviously not very satisfied. It seemed like he was not prepared to continue his peace with the Gods.
"This guy is very troublesome. Should we deal with him?" Giant Deer asked.
"Forget it. There's no need." Counter Front waved his hand. "Let's deal with the problem in front of us first. Everyone in the first team, go offline and rest. Gather all the officials for a meeting. Those few over there are coming over as well."
"Those few?" Giant Deer was a little surprised. "Call them back now? Didn't we give them three months? "
"Now that the situation has changed, call them back," Counter Front said. "I'll talk to them personally."
"Alright, guild leader." Giant Deer nodded.
Soon, all the members of the Gods' side went offline and did what they were supposed to do. On the other hand, after Li Huailin teleported away, he returned to the main city of his territory, Sauvata. As the war in the North had ended a long time ago, Li Huailin had not returned to his territory yet. He had to deal with these things first.
After returning to his own mansion, Li Huailin immediately called for a meeting. It was already a little late. A few of the ministers had basically finished their work and were resting. However, they were forcefully dragged over by Li Huailin for a meeting. Of course, even if they worked overtime for 24 hours straight, it would only increase their loyalty.
"There are basically no problems with the territory's finances. However, the business tax for the new quarter has been calculated. It has decreased by 46% compared to the same year. According to the investigation, most of the reason is … the citizens are too poor. They can't afford to buy goods at all. This is very disadvantageous to the development of our territory's business. I propose to increase the citizens' income." Finance Minister Oliveira was still the first to report.
"No … If we increase their wages, they will rebel again." Li Huailin held his forehead. Although the army was basically full and reputation points were not very useful, it was still quite annoying to have a bunch of people always protesting for a pay increase at his door. "I don't know much about this. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Then why don't we use some money to build a new factory? The casting technology in Lancaster is very good. We can use this to build all kinds of weapons, armor, mounts, and the like. Then, we can drive the citizens to the factory to earn money for us …" Oliveira was indeed a finance minister. He immediately made his suggestion.
"Alright, let's do that." Li Huailin nodded. Since he did not understand economics, he did not know if there was anything wrong with it. Since it was a finance minister's suggestion, it was probably a good one. Hence, he nodded. "Geert, cooperate with Oliveira."
"Yes, my lord." Internal Affairs Minister Geert immediately nodded.
"Any other questions?" Li Huailin continued to ask.
"My lord, after returning from the battlefield, the troops seem to be a little dissatisfied. They're always arguing, but I don't know why … I'm really sorry," Military Affairs Minister Legg said while scratching his head.
"Dissatisfied?" Li Huailin immediately looked at his territory panel. Great, the loyalty of his four cavalry squads had dropped. It was almost below 70 points. He did not know what was going on. Was it because he had won too many battles? Or was it because these people robbed too much this time?
"Get all the soldiers out and beat them up," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"All?" Legg said in surprise. "This … This … What's the reason?"
"No reason. Just beat them up. Just say that I like to see them get beaten up," Li Huailin replied casually.
"That … That works?" Legg did not know how to answer.
"Alright, that's it for now. Is there anything else?" Li Huailin looked at the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gwenis, and asked.
