Despite Shiuse Qiangwei's explanation, Glorious Echo acted as if he had not heard a thing. His expression darkened as he said coldly, "My conditions are already good enough for you. You should know that if not for your family, you wouldn't have had the chance to become a Guild Elder. We wouldn't have paid three times the price for your shares in Ling Yi and Twilight Echo's shares!
"Don't tell me you think you can afford to pay the compensation with your current state?"
As a veteran first-rate Guild, Twilight Echo had very few loopholes in its management. * * *
Shiuse Qiangwei had been Twilight Echo's Honorary Elder. He held an extremely high position in the Guild. Naturally, he had to sign the Guild contract. Even Shiuse Qiangwei's family, which was one of Twilight Echo's board members, was no exception.
Now that Shiuse Qiangwei had left and joined another Guild, this was a serious breach of contract.
If it had been Shiuse Qiangwei in the past, with his family's support, he would have had no problems paying the compensation. However, Shiuse Qiangwei's family hoped that Shiuse Qiangwei would agree to Glorious Echo's conditions. Naturally, they would not pay the compensation on behalf of Shiuse Qiangwei.
Now that the Divine Colosseum had opened, the value of Magic Crystals had increased by the day. However, the Guild's Magic Crystal production had not increased by much.
As a Regional Dungeon capable of producing Magic Crystals, the Stoneclaw Mountains naturally attracted the attention of the various large Guilds.
However, the cost of interfering with the Stoneclaw Mountains was simply too high. Moreover, without a foothold, they could, at most, profit from the Stoneclaw Mountains.
Meanwhile, Stone Forest Town was the closest town to the Stoneclaw Mountains. Setting aside its location, just the Coins and Magic Crystals it earned from the various large Guilds were enough to make the various large Guilds drool. Only, Stone Forest Town was protected by Level 150 NPC guards. At the same time, Guilds had recruited NPC guards to protect it. Even Super Guilds could do nothing about it, much less the local first-rate Guilds.
In Twilight Echo's opinion, Ling Yi's achievements were due to Shi Feng's help. This was definitely due to Aqua Rose's influence. Otherwise, an upstart Guild with no background, no financial resources, and no nurturing methods would never reach its current scale.
Shiuse Qiangwei had been Twilight Echo's Honorary Elder, a celebrity in the virtual gaming world. If she joined a guild that had no reputation, they would definitely offer a high price. In addition, Shiuse Qiangwei was very important to Ling Yi, so they definitely had a lot of power in their hands.
Not to mention building a Twilight Echo Guild Residence in Stone Forest Town, even if they took out 90% of Stone Forest Town's land, it would still be impossible. There shouldn't be any problems.
As long as they obtained Stone Forest Town, Twilight Echo would have the capital to rise to prominence.
To veteran first-rate Guilds, the last thing they lacked was manpower. They had a large reserve of elite players. However, nurturing an expert in God's Domain was not an easy task. Doing so required a large number of Magic Crystals. If Twilight Echo could obtain Stone Forest Town, they could obtain a large number of Magic Crystals. With these Magic Crystals, they could nurture a large number of expert players. At that time, when Twilight Echo competed with the other first-rate Guilds, it would have a much higher chance of controlling the entire Storm Empire.
Hence, Stone Forest Town. Twilight Echo was determined to win.
Shiuse Qiangwei fell silent when she heard Shi Feng's words.
She had joined Ling Yi and focused on managing the Guild. She had watched as Ling Yi rose to power step by step. She had wanted to prove her talent to her family and gain their approval. However, she had not seen their approval. Instead, she had become a tool to be used.
"Glorious Echo, if you don't have any other time, you may leave. You are not welcome here! " At this moment, Shiuse Qiangwei no longer addressed Glorious Echo as Guild Leader. Instead, she called him by his name. One could see just how angry she was right now.
After joining Ling Yi, she had been very happy. She had learned a lot here. Unlike what Twilight Echo's members had seen, she had not been the one to make Ling Yi stronger. Rather, it was Ling Yi who had made her stronger.
Asking her to betray Zero Wing was simply a dream!
Seeing Shiuse Qiangwei's determination, Glorious Echo's expression darkened.
"Oh, right. I forgot to introduce the lady beside me." Glorious Echo's expression changed. Instead, he smiled and introduced, "This is Miss Exemplary Willow, OSC's representative in God's Domain. She is in charge of all matters in God's Domain."
The purple-clad Exemplary Willow simply smiled, not saying a word. It was as if Shiuse Qiangwei did not have the qualifications to speak to her.
"Why is OSC's representative here?" Shiuse Qiangwei was surprised.
Open Source Corporation was one of the top 500 corporations in the world. Moreover, it ranked near the top. In the eyes of Open Source Corporation, Twilight Echo was nothing more than an ant that could be squashed with a flick of a finger. They were from an entirely different world.
"You might not know this, but OSC has already invested in Twilight Echo, becoming the Guild's largest shareholder. Although your parents strongly oppose this plan, it is useless," Glorious Echo said, sneering. Glorious Echo sneered. "If we fail to reach an agreement, I believe that Miss Willow will be displeased. If Miss Willow is displeased, OSC might accidentally cause you and your family to lose everything. It is best if you consider your words carefully."
"So, that's how it is." Shiuse Qiangwei immediately understood, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
It was no wonder that her family did not stand out to oppose it. They were so resolute. It was Open Source Financial Group.
If OSC wanted to suppress her family's businesses, it would be child's play. Against such a colossus, even her family would have no choice but to lower their heads.
"This is your only and best choice. Why make life difficult for yourself?" Glorious Echo advised softly. "Besides, we will not take Stone Forest Town's land for free. We will definitely pay a price that will satisfy your Guild Leader. If you can persuade him to give up Stone Forest Town, I can guarantee that not only will you become Twilight Echo's director, but Hei Yan will also receive shares and become a director. With OSC's investment, Ling Yi will quickly become Starmoon Kingdom's number one Guild. Wouldn't that be better?"
Shiuse Qiangwei took a deep breath. Looking at Glorious Echo, she said resolutely, "Glorious Echo, stop dreaming. I will not agree to this."
She could not betray her family.
Although she would be letting down her family if she did so, she believed that with her own abilities, even if her family's businesses were destroyed, she could still make her family stronger.
"Good! Very good!" Glorious Echo immediately cheered. However, his complexion darkened, and his tone turned frosty as he said, "Since you refuse, I'll have a chat with your Guild Leader. I believe that he knows how to conduct himself better than you. Don't regret it when the time comes."
With OSC's investment, no Guild could possibly refuse. As long as Hei Yan had a brain, he would most likely wish for OSC to become Ling Yi Society's major shareholder.
"Do you want to talk to me?"
At this moment, Shifeng pushed open the door, his lips curling into a sinister smile as he slowly walked into the room.
