Under Zhang Yue’s relentless suppression and retaliation, the members of the Radiant Guild and Chen’s Army had completely lost it.
Not only were they unable to leave the gates of the Safe Zone, but they also had to endure the onslaught of online public opinion.
Gradually, many couldn’t hold on any longer and eventually left the guilds.
Some were even forced to leave Tianjing…
Unable to contend with Zhang Yue, the two guilds began to turn on each other.
“Chen’s Army, your Guild Leader is truly despicable! It’s because we listened to your nonsense that Radiant is in such a mess!”
“Damn it, you can’t blame us for your own incompetence!”
“Zero had already taken our money and stopped targeting us, but because of you, no matter how much we offer now, it doesn’t work!”
Radiant and Chen’s Army had become like rats scurrying across the street, with everyone eager to hit them.
After all, these two guilds had always been notorious for their bad reputation, accustomed to bullying others in Tianjing.
Many had suffered under their tyranny but dared not speak out due to their powerful family backgrounds.
Now, finally seizing the opportunity to see them fall, people on the streets couldn’t resist the urge to slap them with their slippers when they saw them.
Radiant Wushuang, Radiant Sky, and Radiant Xinghe thought they could escape unscathed by leaving Radiant.
Unexpectedly, they couldn’t avoid punishment.
The three of them hid their IDs, pretending to be passersby just leaving the city, planning to do world quests outside, only to be surrounded by a sudden group of freelancers!
“Did you think quitting the guild and hiding your IDs would make you unrecognizable?”
“Surround them, don’t let them escape, and send their location to the Temple of Destiny, let Guild Leader Zero deal with them!”
Radiant Wushuang and the others sighed in unison, giving up on resistance.
Before long, Zhang Yue didn’t show up.
Instead, Thunder Mage Lin Tian and Flame Knight Wu Haotian arrived with their team.
Seeing this, Radiant Xinghe was on the verge of tears: “Do they really look down on us so much? Not even bothering to come personally?”
“At this point, we can only blame ourselves for not knowing better.”
Just as Radiant Wushuang and the others thought Lin Tian was about to take action against them.
Lin Tian suddenly spoke: “Our Guild Leader asked me to extend an invitation: Are you interested in joining our Temple of Destiny?”
Hearing this, Radiant Wushuang, Radiant Xinghe, and Radiant Sky exchanged glances.
After a while, they eagerly agreed: “Yes, yes, yes! We’re interested!”
“However,” Lin Tian adjusted his glasses with his index finger, “there’s a one-month trial period first, with a salary of twenty thousand per month. If you perform well, you can become permanent next month.”
Without a second thought, the three of them blurted out: “No problem!”
After all, Zhang Yue not holding them accountable was already incredibly fortunate for them.
Joining the Temple of Destiny was a dream come true!
They had long wanted to leave Radiant and join Zhang Yue’s guild, but they were always worried Zhang Yue wouldn’t want them.
Now, they understood: Zhang Yue spared them because, during the recent joint operation between Chen’s Army and Radiant, they didn’t participate and had left Radiant early!
Their own decision had saved their lives!
This time, Zhang Yue’s stance was firm.
He had already given them a chance, but Radiant and Chen’s Army didn’t cherish it.
Trying to destroy the Temple of Destiny?
How could Zhang Yue tolerate Radiant and Chen’s Army any longer!
From the moment Zhang Yue cleared the Night of the Ghostly Wedding dungeon, it took only three days for Radiant to be forced to disband their newly established guild.
Chen’s Army’s Guild Leader, Chen Jun, couldn’t withstand the external pressure and the stress Zhang Yue brought.
Most importantly, there was pressure from the guild’s higher-ups.
After all, he was merely the Guild Leader of the newly established branch of Chen’s Army.
The real power in Chen’s Army lay with the veteran professionals!
They shifted all the blame onto Chen Jun:
“What use are you? The guild was handed to you, and you made a mess of it!”
“If the former Guild Leader Chen Long were still here, he’d definitely be better than you!”
In the end, Chen Jun voluntarily resigned and left Chen’s Army.
At this point, Chen Long officially revealed his identity, returning to Chen’s Army with a strong presence as the “former Guild Leader of Chen’s Army” and a “World Finals participant”!
He replaced Chen Jun and became the new Guild Leader of Chen’s Army!
Although it was the old Guild Leader returning to power, as the saying goes, a new official brings three fires.
After returning to Chen’s Army, Chen Long’s first action was to gather all the veteran members for a meeting.
Sitting in the new branch Guild Leader’s seat, Chen Long said, “I have a way to save our guild.”
The veterans around the table didn’t hold much hope: “What way do you have?”
Chen Long confidently replied, “Give Zero thirty percent of our guild’s shares.”
The crowd was somewhat disappointed: “We thought you really had a solution…”
“We’ve already negotiated with him, even offering fifty percent of the shares, and he still wouldn’t agree!”
Chen Long said, “I’ll negotiate with him.”
So, as previously agreed with Zhang Yue, Chen Long had a manager in the guild print out a thirty percent share transfer contract, then handed it to Zhang Yue, who gladly accepted.
When Chen Long returned with the contract signed by Zhang Yue, the veteran members of Chen’s Army were all stunned!
“It actually… worked!”
“He really won’t target Chen’s Army anymore!”
“Chen Long, you really are something! I knew I wasn’t wrong about you!” The highest leader of Chen’s Army, Chairman Chen Cheng, couldn’t stop smiling.
Afterward, Chen Long sent a message to Zhang Yue: “Big brother, I didn’t expect you to be such a loyal person. You didn’t want fifty percent of the shares, just to honor the thirty percent I promised! You really gave me face!!”
Zhang Yue: “??”
“Who said anything about fifty percent?”
Chen Long was taken aback.
“Did no one say that???”
Damn!
Those old fellows were bluffing without a script!!
Chen Long quickly said: “Well, big brother, I have another meeting to attend, let’s talk next time!”
With that, Chen Long hurriedly logged out of Feixin.
As one of the three major families in Tianjing, even though Chen’s Army was the smallest, it was already worth over ten billion.
Zhang Yue easily acquired three billion, so he naturally kept his promise not to suppress Chen’s Army anymore.
After all, the main reason for suppressing Chen’s Army was to use them as an ATM.
But withdrawing hundreds of millions at a time was nothing compared to getting three billion in one go!
What could have been settled with fifty million ended up costing three billion.
All thanks to Chen Jun!
In just one month, Zhang Yue went from being a broke guy who couldn’t even pay a 600 yuan rent to a billionaire worth three billion!
After his rebirth, Zhang Yue felt like money was just like psionic energy.
It was endless, truly endless!
On the other side.
After leaving Chen’s Army, Chen Jun wasn’t resigned.
At night, in the pouring rain.
Chen Jun stood alone by the street, his eyes bloodshot and filled with hatred.
“I admit, at this point, it’s my own fault.”
“But Zero, since I’m already like this, don’t think you’ll have it easy!”
With that, Chen Jun pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
“Boss Xu, it’s me, Chen Jun!”
“I have some unfortunate news for you, my plan failed.”
“But if Zero isn’t eliminated, in the upcoming Global Professionals Tournament World Finals, he will pose a huge threat to your country! So, I hope Boss Xu can lend me a hand, and consider it as helping Japan itself, to get rid of Zero!”
Chen Jun stood in the rain, holding the phone to his ear, waiting for a long time.
“Boss Xu, why aren’t you speaking?”
He picked up the phone to check.
“Damn it, the battery’s dead!”
