"Guild Master."
Water-colored Rose couldn't help but look at Shi Feng as he approached, her expression showing a mix of guilt and embarrassment.
Glory Echo was stunned on the spot. He hadn't expected the guild master of Zero Wing to actually show up. He quickly recovered and introduced himself with a smile. "Hello, Black Flame. I'm Glory Echo, guild master of Dusk Echo. The lady beside me is Miss Liu Shishi, the Divine Realm agent of the Kaiyuan Group."
Shi Feng's sudden appearance was completely unexpected. Glory Echo figured he'd use Liu Shishi's identity to make an impression.
However, Liu Shishi merely glanced at Shi Feng with a look of utter boredom, clearly having no interest in this conversation between ants. Instead, she had grown interested in Water-colored Rose.
You didn't even need to think about how this conversation would end.
The Kaiyuan Group was a world-famous megacorporation and a major player in the new energy trade, with subsidiaries spanning the globe. Now that they were entering the virtual gaming industry, countless people were scrambling to showcase their advantages, all vying for the corporation's investment and connections.
For a rising guild like Zero Wing, that went without saying.
But Water-colored Rose's choice surprised her.
Facing such pressure and temptation, Water-colored Rose had remained completely unmoved. If only she had an assistant like that at her side.
But Shi Feng was completely unfazed by Glory Echo's introduction. He said calmly, "What exactly did Guild Master Glory want to discuss with me?"
He already knew from his previous life about the Kaiyuan Group's investment in Dusk Echo.
There was nothing to be surprised about now.
He even knew quite a few major secrets about the Kaiyuan Group that hadn't been discovered yet.
Glory Echo found Shi Feng's lack of reaction rather strange.
Any Divine Realm guild that heard the name "Kaiyuan Group" should, at the very least, walk over and introduce themselves very carefully, trying to win Liu Shishi's favor. Yet Shi Feng hadn't even bothered with a greeting. And now he was asking what he wanted to talk about…
"Could it be he doesn't know about the Kaiyuan Group?" Glory Echo thought in shock. He then said, "Black Flame, the Kaiyuan Group is a world-class megacorporation. Whether it's capital or channels, they're incredibly powerful. This time, they've set their sights on Stone Forest Town and want to purchase it, which is why they asked to have a chat with Rose first. Since you've come in person, Guild Master Black Flame, things just got simpler."
"Name your price, Black Flame. As long as it's reasonable, I'm sure the Kaiyuan Group will agree."
Liu Shishi nodded as well.
Though she had only recently gotten involved in the virtual gaming world, she had already developed a solid understanding of Stone Forest Town's importance. She had to admit, the fact that a rising guild had managed to obtain it was truly astonishing.
"I see." Shi Feng smiled and looked at Glory Echo. "Then, Guild Master Glory, you can leave now."
"Leave?" Glory Echo froze. "Black Flame, what do you mean by this?"
"Isn't it the Kaiyuan Group that wants to discuss Stone Forest Town with me?" Shi Feng countered. "Then what are you still doing here, Guild Master Glory?"
Glory Echo was so angry he could barely speak.
Water-colored Rose couldn't help but chuckle from the side.
For her family, the greatest pressure came from the Kaiyuan Group, not Glory Echo. If she could reach a deal with the Kaiyuan Group, her family's problems would be solved naturally.
"Miss Liu Shishi has only recently entered the virtual gaming industry and doesn't understand many things. As the guild master operating under the Kaiyuan Group's management, I'm very familiar with the virtual gaming world. Naturally, it's best for me to handle the negotiations," Glory Echo said coldly.
"In that case, let me state my price for Stone Forest Town." Shi Feng smiled and raised a single finger. "I'll take a small loss — I'll just need a ten percent share in the Kaiyuan Group."
The moment Shi Feng finished speaking, the entire room went silent.
