White River City, Candlelight's first-floor reception hall: ● Shush.
At this moment, the reception hall was filled with the upper echelons of the various large Guilds. Among these large Guilds, the weakest was a second-rate Guild, while the strongest was close to a Super Guild. Among these Guilds, there were allies as well as enemies. Hence, the atmosphere in the hall was heavy and oppressive.
Even the beautiful female NPC who was in charge of receiving these people felt very uncomfortable.
"I never thought that Guild Leader Snow would come personally. How rare." Galaxy Past looked at Gentle Snow, who sat a short distance away. Smiling, he said, "I heard that Ouroboros has many things to do. Cao Chenghua is splitting his assets, and over half of the players want to follow him. Many of Cao Chenghua's former subordinates remain in Star-Moon City. Guild Leader Snow, is it really appropriate for you to come here?"
"Guild Leader Galaxy, you don't have to worry about that. Ouroboros is doing very well right now. Why else would I come here?" Gentle Snow's expression was as calm as still water. "Guild Leader Galaxy, on the other hand, you must be feeling bad. I heard that the Star Alliance has suffered heavy losses in the Lion Kingdom. In a single Guild War, they lost over 10,000 players. In the end, they even gave away the benefits to others."
First-rate Guilds usually developed in several large regions simultaneously. Naturally, the Star Alliance was no exception.
The Lion Kingdom was located in the western region of the Starmoon Kingdom. Overall, it was only half the size of the Starmoon Kingdom. However, the number of players in the Lion Kingdom was quite high. Two first-rate Guilds and many second-rate Guilds constantly fought over the Lion Kingdom. Meanwhile, the Star Alliance was one of the two first-rate Guilds. However, for the sake of a single treasure, many Guilds had taken action. In the end, the Star Alliance had suffered heavy losses, and the treasure had even been snatched away by another first-rate Guild.
"As expected of Guild Leader Snow. You sure are well-informed. You really resemble your brother when he ruled Ouroboros. Unfortunately, Ouroboros is no longer the Ouroboros of the past." Gentle Snow poked Galaxy Past's sore spot. However, Galaxy Past did not get angry. Instead, he teased her.
However, the beautiful Elementalist beside Galaxy Past, Purple Eye, radiated killing intent. She seemed to intend to take action.
"You want to take action?" Gentle Snow chuckled. He then looked at Purple Eye and said, "I heard that the Star Alliance has five great experts: Galaxy Past, Red Feather, and Flourishing Willow. Bai Yufei and Zi Tong. Among them, Bai Yufei is the most mysterious while Zi Tong is the strongest. I want to know if this is true. "
"Then you can try!" Zi Tong had no intention of backing down. Instead, he provoked them.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the venue became even colder.
Ouroboros and the Star Alliance could be said to be rivals. They had fought against each other in various virtual reality games for over a decade. They were two Guilds that would not rest until one of them was dead. Hence, no one found it strange that the two Guilds were now opposing each other.
However, many of the Guilds that were watching from the sidelines wanted to see the two beauties fight.
In the front row of the reception hall, a well-built man who looked like Zhang Fei suddenly said respectfully to the handsome young man beside him, "Pavilion Master, this subordinate will go and remind them. I don't want to spoil Pavilion Master's mood. "
After saying that, the man who looked like Zhang Fei strode over. However, he was suddenly stopped by a hand.
"Forget it. Waiting here is quite boring anyway. Watching them fight is not a bad idea." The handsome young man smiled faintly.
"Yes."
Following which, the hot-tempered man retreated to the side.
The actions of the handsome young man were clearly seen by everyone present. That arrogant attitude of his made everyone very unhappy, but no one felt that there was anything wrong with it.
After all, this handsome young man was the Pavilion Master of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. The Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion had long since possessed the strength of a Super Guild. The Pavilion only lacked a stage to display its prowess. Meanwhile, in the eyes of Super Guilds, first-rate Guilds were merely children.
Just as Gentle Snow and Purple Eye were about to fight … Suddenly, a loud shout came from the hall.
"Everyone, stop!"
A clear voice echoed throughout the reception hall. Everyone turned to look at the person who had spoken. Suddenly, they discovered that the person who had spoken was also a beauty. This beauty did not have any frightening aura. She was just an ordinary beauty. However, her words made everyone take her seriously.
After all, this beauty was none other than Candlelight's manager, A Melancholy Smile.
"This is Candlelight. This is not an arena, and all fighting is prohibited. If anyone wishes to challenge Candlelight's rules, I will have no choice but to ask you to leave! "A Melancholy Smile said sternly.
Nobody present doubted A Melancholy Smile's strength. In a private shop, the manager was invincible. With a thought, the manager could teleport someone out of the shop, preventing that person from ever returning.
"Sure enough, it's amazing! It's no wonder why Underworld doesn't care. "Galaxy Past could not help but give A Melancholy Smile a few more glances.
The other Guild upper echelons were similarly astonished.
They had never thought that A Melancholy Smile would be so powerful.
Everyone present could be considered the overlords of their respective territories. Their statuses were all extraordinary. This was especially true for first-rate Guilds. Yet, A Melancholy Smile did not give them any face. Her domineering attitude was exactly the same as what they had heard. In fact, it was even stronger.
Gentle Snow and Purple Eye exchanged glances with each other before turning their heads away.
Today, they were all here to discuss business. If they angered Candlelight, it would not bode well for them.
Immediately, the reception hall regained its calm. Everyone began to observe A Melancholy Smile. Although A Melancholy Smile did not possess any aura, very few people had the guts to reprimand two first-rate Guilds.
After all was said and done, Candlelight was merely a Lifestyle Guild. It did not possess any combat power. All of the resources it purchased were obtained from Combat Guilds. One could say that it relied on Combat Guilds. Moreover, as the game progressed, the materials it required would become more precious, and the reliance on Combat Guilds would grow. Offending a powerful Combat Guild would not be a good idea.
At this moment, the Dragon Pavilion Master, who sat in the front row of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, opened his mouth and said, "Miss Hesitation, since you're here, can we start discussing business?"
The moment the Dragon Pavilion Master spoke, the others nodded in agreement.
They had been in the reception hall for quite some time now. They were only willing to wait out of respect for Candlelight. Now that the Guild's manager had arrived, it was time for them to discuss business.
"Of course. However, as the manager, I have no say in the matters you wish to discuss," A Melancholy Smile said, shaking her head.
"What do you mean by that?" Everyone could not help but ask, "Do you not wish to do business?"
What a joke. They had traveled such a long distance and spent a considerable amount of teleportation fees. Now, the Guild was telling them that they could not discuss business.
Suddenly, the temperature in the reception hall plummeted.
Ordinary people would feel abnormally nervous if they were stared at by several hundred people.
None of the people present were pushovers. Every one of them was an expert. When they lost their temper, the energy they released was even more frightening. The female assistant's legs went weak, and her complexion paled. To an ordinary player like her, the pressure was simply too great.
The female assistant fared better. Everyone's gazes were focused on A Melancholy Smile. However, A Melancholy Smile did not feel good at this moment. This was the first time she had felt such immense pressure. Even her hands were trembling slightly.
It was truly hard to imagine that a virtual reality game could bring her so much pressure. She nearly suffocated.
"I am only the manager. Only my boss can decide what you wish to discuss. If you wish to discuss business, just wait here for a while," A Melancholy Smile said before leaving the reception hall.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Although everyone had long since guessed that A Melancholy Smile was not the manager, they were still shocked when A Melancholy Smile actually said it out loud.
