"This alliance is like a joke," Lu Li said, suppressing his anger.
"I know, I know. We'll compensate you for your losses and hand over the Stronghold to you. We'll pay for the cost of attacking the Stronghold and guarantee that you'll be able to get it," Drinking Alone said, hoping that Lu Li would calm down. He originally wanted to freeload off Ruling Sword's warships, but he didn't want them to become enemies.
"I can accept that. Here are your shares. Take them back," Lu Li said emotionlessly.
"Don't, Lu Li. Why do you have to do this?" Drinking Alone was really anxious.
"Do you think we can defend three Strongholds?" Lu Li laughed coldly. "Do you want us to support you and help you attack the new Stronghold? If you don't want it, then I'll sell the 5% shares."
Lu Li hated this kind of uncontrollable power. He didn't have a strong alliance with Grand Hegemony in the first place.
Drinking Alone's face paled. He hated his own Boss, and he hated Lu Li to the core. If things really went this way, then Grand Hegemony would lose too much from this trade.
In the last competition, Ruling Sword went easy on them and allowed Grand Hegemony to advance to the top 100. In return, they gave Ruling Sword 5% shares as compensation.
In fact, this was a show of loyalty. Not to mention 5%, even 0.5% wasn't worth it. Under Drinking Alone's suggestion, Emperor Hegemony tried to use this to share Ruling Sword's Instance Dungeon strategy, as well as some other resources.
As it turned out, they really did get what they wanted.
Ruling Sword sold them many Boss strategies at a low price. Their progress in the Instance Dungeon quickly caught up and even surpassed the other super clubs.
Now, Lu Li clearly didn't want to play with them anymore. So, they thought of a way to give away 5% of their shares, and now they wanted to buy it back. This was a completely shameless act of giving away too much money.
Grand Hegemony was a very famous tycoon guild in the circle. Many large financial groups had invested in this club.
They had purchased a large number of Shops and real estate in the game. They had also invested in many small and medium-sized Guilds. Many veteran Clubs couldn't even compare to them.
If they really wanted to sell it, there might even be people who would be interested in it for 6 billion. It was just that the authorities had estimated that they were only worth 4 billion. If Grand Hegemony were to calculate the price for Lu Li, it would definitely not be 6 billion.
5% was 200 million dollars!
The 5% shares that Grand Hegemony gave to Lu Li wasn't just a verbal promise. It was something that was signed by the law. No matter where it was, it was 100% legal. Drinking Alone was completely stunned, but there was nothing he could do. They were the ones who betrayed him first.
"I'll go discuss this with our boss." Drinking Alone said heavily. He could tell that Lu Li's dissatisfaction with them was beyond their imagination.
It was just a single failure. They originally thought that it wouldn't affect the stability of the alliance. This was because the alliance was also very important to Ruling Sword, and there was even a 5% long-term benefit. They didn't think that Lu Li would be so resolute and directly ask to go their separate ways.
Drinking Alone wasn't sure if their boss could accept such a loss, so he had to go back and discuss it.
In fact, he was only a messenger because he had teamed up with Lu Li at the beginning of the game and had a little friendship with him.
Lu Li expressionlessly watched as Drinking Alone left. After Drinking Alone left, his lips curved up into a devilish smile. It wasn't that he wasn't angry. It was just that the degree of anger wasn't as strong as what he showed.
As soon as Drinking Alone revealed his intentions, he had already found a new successor for Grey Valley's second stronghold.
Grand Hegemony didn't want this Stronghold. There were many people who wanted it. Before, Lu Li had promised the Life Alliance that he would give them a Stronghold. However, because of the influx of outside capital, the cost of attacking a Stronghold had increased, so the matter had been put on hold.
However, what he had promised had to be achieved sooner or later. Now, he just needed to bring the plan forward.
The Life Alliance might not be as strong as Grand Hegemony, but they were also very rich. At least they had the qualifications to participate in this game.
However, he was serious about breaking the alliance with Grand Hegemony. Very serious.
Lu Li's personality was actually very overbearing. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't allow anything outside of his control to happen.
Grand Hegemony had violated his taboo. This time, they had directly shaken the foundation of Ruling Sword in Grey Valley. Who knew what would happen next?
Lu Li didn't want to take this risk, and he didn't need to.
The alliance with Grand Hegemony was not important to Ruling Sword. As for the 5% of shares, it was indeed a pleasant surprise. Lu Li didn't plan on returning it to them for nothing. He wasn't that kind.
When Grand Hegemony received this news, they were obviously not happy. However, they couldn't do anything to Lu Li.
As for Grand Hegemony giving the second Stronghold to someone else, such as The Capital of Glory, they might be able to sell it for a good price. However, this decision was dissuaded by Drinking Alone. He even used the possibility of leaving Grand Hegemony to show his position.
Emperor Hegemony could only treat this with caution.
Drinking Alone was currently only one of the many vice presidents in the club. He would only occasionally appear on stage during competitions. His departure didn't have much impact on Grand Hegemony, but he had a very good relationship with Northern Tang Dream.
If Drinking Alone were to leave, then Northern Tang Dream would most likely leave as well. There were also those who were close to Drinking Alone. If this matter wasn't handled well, then Grand Hegemony would face a situation where a large number of their core members would leave.
Emperor Hegemony couldn't bear the consequences of this. Lu Li could be stubborn, but he couldn't.
This was because Ruling Sword was run by Lu Li alone, while Emperor Hegemony was just a manager for a group of rich investors. These investors could make his life a living hell.
Giving up the second Stronghold in Grey Valley and moving on to a new Stronghold was the will of the investors behind him. Because of this, Grand Hegemony could completely throw the blame back to them.
Grand Hegemony and Ruling Sword weren't happy about this. The only one who was happy was Half-Life Crystal.
Thinking back to when they were just Trade Profession players who went around mining and gathering herbs, anyone could bully them. Because they were bullied in the game, she and her friends cried a few times. Later, under the guidance of Lu Li, they created the Trade Profession Alliance.
