Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

A few minutes later, Veronica ended the call with Xu Feng. Her expression was filled with complication.

She wasn’t worried about Xu Feng going insane. Instead, she was concerned about the changes that would soon happen.

”I wonder what kind of storm is going to strike upon these people.” Veronica was certain that Xu Feng was planning something huge.

So huge that it could collapse a bunch of guilds in the snap of a finger.

After all, Xu Feng was never the type to take a loss and bow his head.

Sometime later, Veronica sent the news and made an official announcement in the guild’s post.

As soon as the post was made live, many players went into an uproar.

”What do you mean by closing?”

”I’ve just paid 1 week of rent, and now you’re kicking me out?”

”This is blatant bullying of poor people!”

While those who watched from the sidelines were merely surprised by the news, those who actually paid in advance or just made their payment were astonished.

”Apologies, but the Vanguard Guild is closing its operation. Those who wish to have a refund may go to the reception counter to get their money.” Tracy, the most prominent NPC who worked for the Vanguard Guild, announced loudly.

Every player recognized Tracy because she was the manager for many of the Vanguard Guild’s properties, such as the hotel, tavern, and restaurant.

Not even the Vanguard Guild members themselves dared to offend Tracy, lest they would be in deep trouble.

And with Tracy coming out to make the announcement, it effectively confirmed that the Vanguard Guild really wasn’t cracking a joke. They were serious about closing down their business.

However, the horror had yet to be over.

”Crap! The Haven Wind Town is being shut down, too! All non-guild members were to leave the town!”

”What? Why would the Vanguard Guild close their town?”

In the blink of an eye, players were crying and complaining. They couldn’t fathom why the Vanguard Guild would suddenly take such an action.

Needless to say, many went into the Game Forum and inquired what was going on. There definitely had to be something that occurred that prompted the Vanguard Guild to do such a move. After all, this kind of action was beneficial to nobody!

And sure enough, information soon popped up as to why the Vanguard Guild made the action.

Of course, this kind of information was deliberately dropped by the Vanguard Guild’s spies.

”Are these top guilds such hateful beings?” A player finally couldn’t endure their anger anymore and scolded them publicly.

”The second update just dropped, and they’re already making a mess. Now it’s just amazing. We, the poor players, must suffer because of them!”

As much as players hated the Vanguard Guild for having so many things under their control, they had to admit that things were priced at a cheap rate.

At the very least, players were able to earn a decent amount by staying in the Haven Wind Town without being bled dry like other guilds’ towns.

But now that the Vanguard Guild was provoked to such an extent and outright banished people, how could they not be mad?

”Fuck, what’s wrong with them? Just because they are incapable of obtaining a mount, they decided to mess with the Vanguard Guild?!”

”Can these guilds stop being so overbearing! I’m about to thrash their stores!”

”Just thrash them now! My income’s about to drop because of their tyranny!”

In less than a few minutes, a riot exploded on the spot. These players had all suffered miserably at the hands of these top guilds.

It was only through the Vanguard Guild that they were able to enjoy good discounts and amazing items at low prices.

And now this supposedly beneficial thing was going to disappear because of these tyrannical guilds.

How could they accept it?

Just like that, the public opinion swiftly shifted. From laughing and taunting at the Vanguard Guild, they all began to defend the Vanguard Guild and even personally target the guild’s enemies.

While the storm had exploded thunderously, Xu Feng remained aloof as he returned to the Adventure Guild.

”You’re back already?” Jessica was visibly startled by his presence.

Didn’t he just leave a few hours ago?

Why had he come back already?

It can’t be that he wanted to renege on the deal or request more benefits, right?

”There’s some bad news.” Xu Feng flashed a bittersweet smile.

”B-Bad news??!” Stunned, Jessica nearly had a mental breakdown.

She even stumbled and dropped the files in her hand. This was the first time he had approached her with a bitter smile.

Moreover, it was also the first time he gave her some bad news.

”Follow me,” Jessica hurriedly dragged him to a private room.

Once they were in the private room, she asked in an anxious tone. ”Could it be that you can’t produce the horses? Or did the Colossuses notice the anomaly and make a move?”

”The first part, yes, but the second part no.” Xu Feng lowered his head and sighed deeply. His expression was filled with guilt and exhaustion.

Upon seeing his state, Jessica clenched her fist. She refused to believe he couldn’t produce the horses because of his incompetence. But rather, someone must have hindered him.

After all, he was never the type to make a deal and failed to honor it.

”Please speak your mind out, Lin Feng,” Jessica said, trying her best to suppress the fury.

Xu Feng took a deep breath and sighed again before nodding. ”Initially, the production of the horses was on track. But then, suddenly, the materials were scarce, which delayed the production. I didn’t notice it at first, but after some investigation. It turned out that other Immortals seemed to be jealous of my ability to produce horses.”

He then took a pause with a clenched fist. His face depicted extreme grievance and unwillingness.

Needless to say, he was currently acting.

Aggrieved?

Oh, please... he had long completed the production.

But he definitely wouldn’t be honest about it. Otherwise, how could he teach these enemies a harsh and brutal lesson?

’Want to screw me over? Then watch how I’ll openly rob all your stores!’ Xu Feng sneered inwardly.
