Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 827: Power Struggle

The proposal written by Zhao Xin was concise and straight to the point. She didnʼt beat around the bush and clearly listed out the benefits they would gain if they allowed them early access.

Since a town constructed by a player was solely owned by the player. Other than paying taxes, everything else in the town was managed solely by the player.

In other words, guild residence or whatnot that usually required NPCʼs permission was now through the permission of the player who owned the most shares of the town.

”Your sister is quite generous. Sheʼs willing to offer 60% of the loot obtained to our guild as long as we grant them a Guild Residence.” Xu Feng smirked coldly.

”But why would she give such a generous split unless she happened to know the location of our town.”

As he made that question, Zhao Kaiʼs body visibly trembled in fear and nervousness.

Without even needing a detective to spell it out for him, Xu Feng was positive that he revealed the location to his sister as well.

”I canʼt believe you will sell out our core secrets just so you can escape paperwork.” Xu Feng twitched his mouth, clearly in disbelief at his action.

However, Zhao Kai suddenly corrected him. ”Itʼs not for paperwork, but for a date. My sister discovered I had a secret date with Lynette.”

”What? So she threatened to expose your relationship and have your grandfather split you two up?” Startled, Xu Feng nearly had a fit of rage.

What kind of development was this?

The traditional old-school drama play where the two people must be equally matched in status and wealth?

Unfortunately, Xu Feng jumped the gun this time. But he surely hoped he was right rather than what Zhao Kai explained.

”Uh, no, she promised to make the date very lavish and can guarantee me to bed with her.” Zhao Kai said with a solemn expression hanging on his face.

”...”

In the end, his buddy fell for the typical honey trap and sold their secrets out just so he could get laid.

”Kai, you best have some good ointment!” Xu Feng commented.

”Huh?” Confused, Zhao Kai tilted his head, only to be faced with a fierce punch that rammed straight into his cheek.

POW!

His left cheek quickly revealed a dark bruise, given Xu Feng barely contained his punch from having Energy Force. Otherwise, his bone would have been fractured at the very least.

”Youʼre lucky that youʼre my buddy.” Xu Feng hissed coldly. Had it been any other person who revealed their core secrets like that?

Then he would have done way worse than what he had just done.

Naturally, Zhao Kai understood he was wrong in this matter and didnʼt mind his face being bruised. After all, he would have done the same if someone he trusted dearly betrayed his trust.

”But man, I said not the face and you had to do the face.” Zhao Kai pouted, rubbing his bruised cheek.

”If I didnʼt hit your thick face, then how would you learn?” Xu Feng clicked his tongue. ”I hope this is the last time that you spill our secrets. I trusted you and thatʼs why Iʼve informed you.”

”I know it already. But itʼs not like I reveal it without seeing what my sisterʼs guild was up to.”

Having said that, Zhao Kai grabbed the paper from Xu Feng and flipped to page 28.

”Just look at this part. The scale of the Dark Legion isnʼt less than those first-rate guilds. My sister invested heavily from the beginning, so she would definitely make a good ally.” He pointed it out.

Xu Feng took a few moments to glance through the data. Indeed, even he was slightly taken aback by her accomplishment.

ʼZhao Xin is really something else.ʼ He thought. On one hand, she appeared to be a good supporter of Gentle Wind or Feng Qing Rou. But on the other hand, she was secretly hoarding and training her own guild to such a level.

If he didnʼt know any better, then he might have thought Zhao Xin wanted to backstab Feng Qing Rou.

Overall, Dark Legionʼs monthly net income was 30,000 gold coins based on their shops and resource selling alone. As for their equipment, it was all Rare and above, with some of them being Epic rarities.

Additionally, they have successfully raided many level 30s dungeons in Hell Mode Difficulty and some level 35s in Hard Mode Difficulty.

Their manpower numbered around 25,000 but 15,000 of them were elites and well trained.

The scale of this growth was truly breathtaking.

”How much money has your sister spent?” Xu Feng twitched his brows. This kind of growth wouldnʼt be possible if there were any restrictions on funding.

”50 billion dollars!” Zhao Kai flatly responded. ”Of course, thatʼs just the invested money, and only around 20 billion ish was used in the growing of her guild.”

”And how much did she gain in return?”

”A whopping 60 billion ish so far!”

To summarize, the total invested money was 50 billion, but only approximately 20 billion was wasted. However, the profit return was around 60 billion, far surpassing the initial invested money.

If one didnʼt count the total invested and only the wasted amount, then Zhao Xin earned over 40 billion from her Project Genesis.

”The shareholders must be smiling silly from the investment result.” Xu Feng commented.

”Thatʼs right!” Zhao Kai nodded his head.

And he continued, ”The shareholders already trusted my sister a lot, but now, they wholeheartedly agree to whatever she decides. They said if she wants to go in this direction, then they will all follow. My other two brothers could be said to be ousted from the shareholdersʼ mind completely.”

It could be said that the power struggle within the Zhao Enterprise was over.

Zhao Xin had effectively and decisively gained the favor of all the shareholders. She now controlled the board, making her the sole decision-maker.

After all, shareholders may recognize people, but most importantly, they recognize money. Since they recognize both Zhao Xin and the money she brought in, only a foolish shareholder would attempt to support another person.

ʼIt seems like sheʼs a decent partner to team up with.ʼ Xu Feng thought, feeling intrigued by her means.
