"Just who is this Ling Yi?" Cold Memory stared at the Shifeng inside the elegant reception room, wondering if her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Before meeting the Shifeng, she had already thought of all sorts of ways to negotiate with the Shifeng. She had even considered the possibility that the Shifeng would gladly agree to her conditions.
However, now that she had met the Shifeng, she had no idea how to broach the subject.
The Research Workshop was one thing. After all, the Candlelight Trading Firm had only recently been promoted to 4-star status. It wasn't unusual for the Research Workshop to be different from what she had investigated. However, the Guild Leader of the Candlelight Trading Firm was also here. Cold Memory couldn't help but wonder if she had done something wrong before joining Ling Yi.
A Tier 3 player!
Even now, Dark Pursuit didn't have a single Level 100 player, much less a Tier 3 player.
At their level, they were fully aware of just how massive the gap between tiers was. Tier 3 players were definitely a headache for the various superpowers at this stage of the game. After all, Tier 3 players could kill Tier 2 players with ease. It would be no different from Tier 2 experts bullying Tier 1 players.
Moreover, the fact that Shi Feng could reach Tier 3 so early in his Promotion Quest was a massive advantage. Level 100-plus neutral maps had been prepared for Tier 3 players, after all. When it came to exploring Level 100-plus neutral maps, current players simply couldn't compare.
While Cold Memory was still in a daze, not knowing what to say, South Dream gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
"Greetings, President Hei Yan. I am South Dream, the vice commander of Dark Pursuit's Fourth Branch's main force," South Dream said as he introduced himself to Shi Feng. "The person beside me is Cold Memory, the vice commander of Dark Pursuit's main force. The two of us are here on behalf of Dark Pursuit's Fourth Branch. We wish to discuss a partnership with you, Lord Hei."
South Dream might've felt confident speaking to the Shifeng on equal footing with the Ling YI Society's Guild Leader due to Dark Pursuit's reputation, but now, he didn't have any confidence at all.
Even the Fourth Branch's Vice Guild Leader would have to treat a Tier 3 powerhouse with respect. After all, if they provoked a Tier 3 powerhouse, the consequences would be dire.
"Dark Pursuit's fourth branch?" Shifeng nodded and asked calmly, "How do you plan to cooperate with Ling Yi?"
Super Guilds were all massive organizations. Hence, they would divide their operations into regions. Normally, when a Super Guild cooperated with a Super Guild, it would only cooperate with one of these Super Guilds' Branch Guilds. Very few Super Guilds would cooperate fully with a Super Guild.
Dark Pursuit had five Branch Guilds. As far as Shi Feng knew, the Fourth Branch controlled a considerable amount of alchemy resources. Many of the Moon God's Realm's unique potion materials came from the Fourth Branch's territories. The Fourth Branch had contributed greatly to Dark Pursuit's domination of the continent's kingdoms and empires' markets.
"In truth, we've come here to invite your Guild's Silent Wonder to join Dark Pursuit," Cold Memory said, gritting her teeth. "I know that my proposal is a little rash, but President Hei Yan, you might not know Silent Wonder's true identity and responsibilities. If she continues to stay in Ling Yi, she will only ruin herself. Only by joining Dark Pursuit will she be able to resolve her problems. Of course, we will do our best to use our authority in the Fourth Branch to provide Ling Yi with various resources. Once Ling Yi is ready to develop further in God's Domain, I hope you won't hinder Silent Wonder's future."
The foundations Ling Yi had displayed had indeed surprised Cold Memory, especially the fact that the Shifeng was actually a Tier 3 player. However, no matter how strong a player was, he was still only one person. The problems Silent Wonder was involved in couldn't be solved by a single person.
Only a Super Guild like Dark Pursuit could resolve Silent Wonder's problems.
"Cold Memory!"
Silent Wonder suddenly snapped, gesturing for Cold Memory to stop speaking. After all, this was her own problem. Ling Yi had treated her well, giving her very generous conditions. As a result, her standards had improved significantly. Now that Ling Yi needed her help to develop, she naturally couldn't just leave for her own sake. However, if she continued to stay in Ling Yi, she would face considerable danger in Ling Yi's future.
She couldn't leave, but she also couldn't stay. Hence, she was constantly vexed and hesitant.
"Wonder, you should know that you don't have much time left. Yan Xiaoqian alone has Dark Pursuit's full support. Do you think you can defeat them all by yourself?" Cold Memory asked.
"..." Silent Wonder fell silent.
If this were a competition of techniques, she was confident that she could win, but if it were a competition of strength and foundations, she would have a difficult time.
"Wonder's identity? What do you mean? "Shi Feng could not help but ask, confused.
He had some understanding of Silent Wonder. After all, she had been one of the Ten Great Grandmasters of Alchemy in the past. She had been a lone ranger that the various superpowers had tried to recruit. He hadn't heard of any other identity or background.
"You should've heard of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, right?" Cold Memory asked.
Shifeng nodded. Very few people in God's Domain hadn't heard of the Azure Chamber of Commerce. After all, it was a super-large-scale Chamber of Commerce in the virtual gaming world. Although it couldn't compare to the Secret Pavilion, it was still one of the top ten Chambers of Commerce in God's Domain. It had far more resources and financial strength than ordinary superpowers.
However, the Azure Chamber of Commerce had always focused its development on the western continent. It hadn't had much contact with the eastern continent.
"Wonder is one of the heirs of the two families that control the Azure Chamber of Commerce. The two families have agreed to a competition between their heirs to gain control of the Azure Chamber of Commerce. However, neither family's heirs will be allowed to borrow Azure's strength. There are only a few days left until the competition, and one of Wonder's opponents, Yan Xiaoqian, have joined Dark Pursuit and received the Alliance's support," Cold Memory explained. Smiling at Shifeng, she continued, "With President Hei Yan now, do you think Wonder can continue to work in Ling Yi?"
The Azure Chamber of Commerce's strength rivaled that of Super Guilds, and the two families that controlled the Azure Chamber of Commerce had gone all out to gain control of the Chamber. If Wonder lost, Yan Xiaoqian and the others, as Silent Wonder's opponents, wouldn't let Ling Yi off the hook. Similarly, Wonder's family wouldn't let Ling Yi off the hook. After all, if Wonder lost to Yan Xiaoqian, they'd definitely vent their anger on Ling Yi.
Not to mention, Yan Xiaoqian had joined Dark Pursuit. With Dark Pursuit's support, Wonder had no chance of winning.
The best way to deal with this situation was to have Wonder join Dark Pursuit. That way, both sides would be on equal footing, and Dark Pursuit wouldn't be able to interfere. If other powers tried to interfere, they'd suffer the consequences.
