Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 298: Great Deed

While Jessicaʼs message became loud and clear to the crowd that she was not a simple receptionist, Xu Feng could only smile bitterly beneath his mask.

From the surface, it might seem like Jessica was protecting him.

After all, she only made a move once someone went ahead and attempted to assassinate him.

However, Xu Feng knew that Jessica didnʼt simply just want to protect him. Explore stories on empire

She wanted to use this incident as an excuse and leverage to showcase her power, sending fear to these earlier complainers.

Within the rules of the Adventure Association, she was to remain polite to them because they were adventurers working for commissions whereas she was there to support and assist them.

Thus, she could not retaliate and smile amidst their numerous complaints and demands.

ʼThat assassin is really a fool to pick a fight here and not wait until Iʼm outside.ʼ Xu Feng sighed softly.

He didnʼt even plan on trapping any Reaver Guild here in the association to make another demonstration. It was merely all a coincidence, and that member only made it worse for the Reaver Guild to survive much longer.

News regarding Lin Feng being protected by a powerful mage like Jessica would spread all across Star Falls City like wildfire.

By that time, who would still dare to debate whether it was worth offending Reaver Guild or not?

Sure enough, while Jessica brought Xu Feng to the VIP Room, the forum once again exploded, starring none other than the Reaver Guild member.

-Amazing!! Lin Fengʼs appearance in the Adventure Association and without needing to make a move, one Reaver Guild Assassin was slain on the spot and detained by the Receptionist.

-Lin Feng isnʼt the Guild Leader of Vanguard, but his position cannot be underestimated!

-Reaver Guild didnʼt just kick an iron plate, but a diamond spike plate.

As Reaver Guildʼs prestige continued to be dampened, back in the real world, Hundred Ghost, otherwise known as Gui Sha, gloomily sat at a meeting table in the GRIM Corporation. Aside from him, there were a total of five other people in the room.

”Gui Sha, Iʼm very disappointed at your result this time.” One man, who was sitting in the center of the meeting table, said solemnly. Their fingers repeatedly tapped on the table, almost as if they were comprehending what to do with Gui Sha.

”Young Master Gao, this is really my fault, but we canʼt go against Lin Feng anymore.” Gui Sha bit his lips and hoped to persuade Gao Zhong, the young master of the GRIM Corporation.

”Lin Fengʼs background is not simple and doesnʼt seem to care about the GRIM Corporation. Our branch guild is still stuck in Star Falls City, unable to develop further.” He continued, clearly trying to cut back on their losses.

He was arrogant and overbearing, but once he encountered someone who was hard to deal with and wasnʼt worth the gain, Gui Sha knew when to admit defeat and pull back. Otherwise, the losses would be unimaginable.

Alas, his words only caused more displeasure for Gao Zhong.

Gao Zhong was a young man in his 20s but to gain such authority meant that his father had trust in his ability.

Now it was just great!

The moment he took on his first major project revolving around the Divine World, problem after problem occurred under his leadership.

”Do you know that if it werenʼt for you, I wouldnʼt have asked our partnering companies to collaborate with us to give a stern warning to others?” Gao Zhong spoke very softly and slowly, but others in the meeting room were able to discern his fury.

”Indeed, with our large funding and the prestige we built within the virtual world, it should have been unshakable. But now one player alone managed to crumble our foundation easily, and this player was offended by you, Gui Sha.” Another man within the meeting room interjected, clearly fanning the flame.

”Jason, you can stop trying to fan the flame and talk as if you didnʼt agree with the move.” Frustrated, Gui Sha glared angrily at Jason.

Meanwhile, Jason shrugged his shoulders in response, no longer talking anymore. After all, there was no need for him to talk, given the guild under his management in another city had been developing very well.

The Divine World was an expansive world, so aside from Star Falls City, there were many other cities that were far away from it.

Thus, the Reaver Guildʼs reputation and prestige in other cities remained high, unlike the Star Falls City one.

Just as the meeting was ongoing, a woman suddenly knocked on the door.

”Come in,” Gao Zhong said, wondering what other trouble there could be.

The woman outside was his personal assistant, and he had warned solemnly that unless it was a big matter, she was not allowed to disturb him. Hence, he was already anticipating a lot of bad news, just not how terrible it was.

Shortly after the woman entered, she ignored everyone else except for Gao Zhong. She walked toward him and whispered something in his ears.

Originally, Gao Zhongʼs facial expression was still rather calm, but as he listened more and more, he frowned deeply.

Naturally, that micro change of expression was detected by everyone in the meeting room, and Gui Sha himself felt like a grim reaperʼs scythe was looming over his neck.

ʼPlease tell me itʼs not news regarding Lin Feng.ʼ Gui Sha prayed inwardly. He had already warned his subordinates to stop antagonizing Lin Feng for a while, given he wanted to back off from this battle.

However, Gui Sha knew it was definitely related to Lin Feng once Gao Zhongʼs gaze turned to him.

”Gui Sha!!!” Gao Zhong finally lost his composure and shouted in fury.

”Look at the great deed you have made! We became nothing but a laughing stock!”

A cold chill ran down Gui Shaʼs spine as he truly wanted to cry aloud.

How did he do another ”great deed” when he placed an order not to antagonize Lin Feng any further?

This was a great injustice!
