Gru walked away in a daze.
In fact, Gru personally had always been against someone going out to rob the dock, but he couldn't stop his boss from having other ideas.
After all, the Golden Sons had disappeared for twenty-one days.
At first, everyone thought that the Golden Sons had only disappeared for two or three days.
But as time went by and the Golden Sons didn't return after five or six days, some people had other ideas.
Then all kinds of rumors came out.
After seven or eight days, some people began to get restless, and after a dozen or so days, they had already begun to fight.
Fifteen days later, almost everyone thought that the Golden Sons wouldn't return.
One of the most popular rumors said that the Life Goddess felt that the Golden Sons weren't very sensible and had abandoned them.
The nobles of Delpon, on the other hand, were already very wary of the Golden Sons for waiting until seventeen or eighteen days later.
After all, the crazy behavior of Hawk and Clint, followed by the shocking act of the Golden Sons teaming up to kill the mayor, made all the forces of Delpon tremble.
But no matter how strong the deterrent was, it gradually weakened with the disappearance of the Golden Sons for more than twenty days.
Then there was the temptation of profit, which in many cases was greater than deterrence.
Andonara watched the whole thing from the side, and she said with a sense of lingering fear, "Not to mention them, even I thought at that time that you were abandoned by the Life Goddess. I was even mentally prepared to commit suicide. "
Suicide?
At first, Roland thought that this was just Andonara's exaggeration.
But when he looked at Andonara, her expression was calm and even a little smile.
Her eyes were as calm as the surface of the water at the bottom of a well, without any ripples or traces.
Roland's hand trembled, and he immediately understood that Andonara wasn't lying.
That was really what she was thinking.
For a moment, he was a little moved, but there was also an indescribable pressure on his shoulders.
Hawk climbed out of the virtual cabin, rubbed his face, and then turned on the computer.
Then he logged on to QQ and entered the group chat of the guild's executives.
The group video chat invitation was already hanging up, and he immediately connected it.
Half a second later, a chat window appeared on the screen, and a miniaturized video of the fourteen people appeared in a large window.
Hawk clicked on the president's video and zoomed in, while a suppressed voice burst out of the speaker.
"I don't care what your situation is right now, but remember this: Silver Wings is not a coward. Whoever ate our food, make them swallow it all, and double it. Do you understand? "
No one spoke, but many frowned, including Hawke.
The guild leader of Silver Wings was a middle-aged man. His looks were average, but he had an imposing manner. It was obvious that he had been in a high position for a long time.
"Dongshan, you're in charge of legal matters. Can we get the game officials to compensate for this?"
A bald middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Impossible. First of all, the game is only a closed beta, and there's no charge for the content, so we can't make an issue out of it. Secondly, the officials have already stated on the homepage that they don't support the exchange of real money and in-game gold. They won't be responsible for any conflict of interest arising from the exchange of real money and in-game gold. "
The president said unhappily, "But we spent money to buy a virtual gun. Can we make a fuss about it?"
The bald middle-aged man smiled helplessly. "It's difficult. The virtual cabin is just a connecting device. As long as it's not a product quality problem, we can't do anything about it. Besides, it's just a problem with the game content. But the game is still a closed beta, not an open beta. The most we can do is say that there's a problem with the game content, causing a very unpleasant experience, and then let the game company take back the virtual cabin at the original price and compensate us with some mental damage or something. "
But this was also a bad idea. Now that the price of the virtual cabin had been raised to more than three million, returning it at the original price was only fifty thousand dollars, and the mental damage or something was at most ten thousand dollars.
It added up to about sixty thousand, and the idiot would return it to the game officials at the original price.
The president thought about it and said, "No matter what, the officials still have to be pressured. Asura, you're in charge of diplomacy. Go join forces with the other guilds and find a way to put pressure on the officials together. There's strength in numbers. "
A young man nodded and didn't speak.
Then the president of Silver Wings brushed the small stray bangs on his forehead. "Hawk, how's the situation on your side?"
"Like the docks in other cities, it's all destroyed, and everything that can be looted has been looted. Not to mention the ship, not even a piece of linen is left."
"I remember there's a tycoon named Vincent on your side, right? Can you persuade him to donate some more money to us and increase his dividends in the future?"
Hawk took a deep breath. "Did we suffer heavy losses?"
"Very great. The most conservative estimate is that we've lost twenty million."
Hawk was silent for a while before he said, "Vincent has already quit the guild. He doesn't even want the 1.5 million donation bonus anymore. "
After a moment of stupor, the president's angry voice rang out. "Hawk, what's the matter with you? How can you let such an important member quit the guild just like that!"
Hawk said dejectedly, "He doesn't want to stay, we can't stop him."
The president held back his anger. "Hawk, tell me what happened. I want to know for sure why that tycoon quit the guild. "
At that moment, Hawk told the whole story of what had happened.
After the senior members of Silver Wings listened, they all fell silent.
Was Hawk's approach right? Was Suel's approach right?
From Silver Wings' point of view, it was right. After all, sitting here, of course, they had to think about the guild. Due to the size of their business, the guild had long been short of money.
Whatever money they could earn was good.
But the consequence was that they didn't get the money and even fell out with F6.
And Vincent was forced to take a side and finally chose Roland's Magic Tower.
He didn't get to eat the lamb, but he got himself into trouble.
After about a minute of silence, the president said solemnly, "Hawk, let's put down the matter with F6 for now. The most important thing now is to find a way to retaliate and make them spit out our losses. I remember that Delpon is essentially a place controlled by our Silver Wings guild. Can we also take control of Delpon's taxes? "
Everyone understood what the president meant, to use Delpon's taxes to make up for the guild's losses.
Hawk shook his head. "One-third of Delpon's taxes are Roland's, and the other two-thirds are the mayor's office's."
"Why would something as important as taxes be given to F6's Roland?" A senior member directly attacked. "Hawk, are you stupid?"
Hawk retorted, "At that time, when the interests were divided, Roland had already made a lot of concessions. Otherwise, how could we have gotten two mines, half of the city's granaries, the old docks, and the sheriff's position?"
"Who would complain about having too many interests?" The senior member continued, "Since Roland was easy to talk to at that time, then you should have continued to strike while the iron was hot and gotten the right to collect taxes into our hands as well. If you didn't get it, it would be a dereliction of duty, no ability at all, occupying a good position for nothing. "
"And then Roland did the work and did the hard work, but got nothing in return? Being someone else's tool? Do you really think others are fools? " Hawk was also angry. He was in a bad mood to begin with, so he immediately retorted, "Damn it, do it if you can, don't talk if you can't. At worst, I'll give you the position of vice president."
This senior member said sarcastically, "Yo, you're starting to threaten people. If you don't want to be, it's fine for me to be the vice president."
