Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 725: Explanation

Floral Witch was truly at a loss this time. Never had she ever interacted with someone who could be so unreserved and reserved simultaneously.

Xu Feng was reserved when guided in a seemingly luxurious environment, but unreserved when it came to ordering food.

Wasnʼt it the norm and etiquette to only order a few things when offered by the other party?

Who in their right mind would order everything?

ʼI knew Vanguard Guild operated in an abnormal manner, but how come its honorary elder was even more abnormal?ʼ Floral Witch cried inwardly.

Indeed, before Xu Feng had even introduced himself as Cool Wind, she already knew who he was. It was the main reason why she even approached him in the first place.

Honorary Elder Cool Wind— most notable achievement was punishing his fellow members in a public manner to warn those in the guild to not act arrogantly.

It was only a brief appearance, but this news had caught the attention of many people. After all, guild members acting arrogant due to their guildʼs power and background was extremely common.

Almost none of the elders or higher-ups bothered to reprimand their actions. And even if they do, it would be done in a closed-door environment to ensure their reputation wonʼt be ruined in public.

However, not only did the Vanguard Guild ignore the usual practice, they even went above and beyond to air the drama publicly.

When Floral Witch learned the news of such an event, she nearly choked on her own saliva and wondered if the person reporting it to her was lying.

Yet it was indeed the truth, and her curiosity in the guild magnified. Their honesty and straightforwardness truly impressed her, so going back to the main question.

ʼWhy is he trying to rip me off?ʼ She cried inwardly.

”I have a buddy of mine who enjoys the cuisines in the Divine World. I order everything so that I can have it on takeout and deliver it to him.” Xu Feng smiled lightly.

”If the cost is too much for Miss Floral Witch to handle, then I can foot the bill.” He continued, letting her know that he didnʼt mind paying instead.

”...”

On the surface, it looked as if Xu Feng was being magnanimous, but Floral Witch had a feeling that she was being looked down upon. No, it wasnʼt quite that, but more of a dare to her that she shouldnʼt flex her wealth if she felt pain from this ordeal.

Unwilling to let him underestimate her, Floral Witch smiled and said, ”Just some coins. Itʼs nothing much. I can afford it.”

”Is that so, then I can order 2 sets?” Xu Feng asked curiously.

”Stop teasing me,” Finally, Floral Witch had enough and angrily shouted.

”Alright, Iʼll stop.”

”Ahem, letʼs resume the topic.”

Realizing she had lost her composure, Floral Witch wanted to find a hole to crawl. Just how was she supposed to expect him to be so unscrupulous?

Meanwhile, Xu Feng also knew she wasnʼt that intelligent. By that, he meant she wasnʼt extremely shrewd or the scheming type of person.

A true scheming person wouldnʼt flex their wealth so openly, nor even offer information without asking for anything in return.

Sometime later, Floral Witch did her best to put on a mysterious expression.

”So do you want to know why Miracle Pavilion would suddenly change its neutral stance and agree to collaborate with Lethal Corp?” She asked solemnly.

”I donʼt.” Xu Feng responded.

”Heh, I knew you would want to know—” Suddenly, Floral Witch paused for a moment. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She tilted her head sideways and stared at home with a dumbfounded look.

”Eh, you donʼt want to know? Are you really sure you donʼt want to know?” She asked in a startled tone.

Wasnʼt the whole point of renting a private room here to discuss this?

So why in the world would the other party claim they donʼt care?

”If you didnʼt want to know, then why did you agree to come here?” She continued, clearly unable to comprehend his action.

”Well, I figured it was a free room and food.” Xu Feng lightly chuckled.

Feeling like she had been played, Floral Witch was about to throw a fit until Xu Feng said his next words.

”Besides, whatever they got in dealings. Iʼm sure you know what it is and wish to collaborate with us. In that case, you would tell me regardless if I wanted to know what the deal was or not.”

Caught off-guard, Floral Witch was rendered speechless. Indeed, part of her objective was to collaborate with Vanguard Guild— or more importantly, Eclipse Nova.

”Youʼre right.” She nodded and answered honestly. ”Your big boss, Eclipse Novaʼs strength has convinced us that you are worthy to help us. And Iʼm sure you want more allies than enemies, especially when we both have a common enemy now.”

”Okay, letʼs get to the point.” Xu Feng yawned and had enough of the mind game. He had confirmed his suspicions, so there was no point in dragging the conversation further.

Coincidentally, Floral Witch was on the same page and thus rambled on with the explanation.

Time quickly passed by, and Xu Feng finally got the gist of it.

Apparently, Lethal Corp, who after getting beaten like a dead dog by Xu Feng, was infuriated and tried to search whatever method possible to counter attack. And by some luck, they discovered a wandering NPC, who gave them slots to compete and obtain a chance for a Hidden Class.

The slots required players to be a minimum of level 30 and at a specific time, it would open up.

The chance to get the Hidden Class was up to skills and luck.

”Hmm, so the Lethal Corp has a total of 25 slots available and gave 15 of them to Miracle Pavilion people in exchange for hindering our business slightly.” Xu Feng smirked coldly.

”They sure are generous to give up 15 slots just like that to get back at us.”
