Veronica wasted no time getting her informants to spill out everything they knew to her.

Although Xu Feng didn’t emphasize much, his anger was pretty much evident.

Who wouldn’t be?

It was as if you had just finished clearing a difficult game. But before you could celebrate properly, someone accused you of cheating and wanted to wipe out all your efforts.

Even Veronica was frustrated by these people, much less Xu Feng.

"It’ll take at least 10 minutes or so to get a thorough list, Guild Leader." She informed him.

"Okay," Xu Feng nodded and nearly completed the listing of the drop loot for better organization. Naturally, this list was going to be accessible to certain people only.

"How’s the loot so far?" Carmen approached them and inquired. She was unaware of the issue, but she had sensed something was amiss.

Hence, it might seem like she was asking about the loot. But in reality, she was asking about what was going on.

"Pretty decent, and with a tinge of vinegar." Xu Feng replied in a crypto message, too.

Vinegar was often used as a term to describe those who were jealous.

It matched the precise tone of Razor Nightmare and those who are filing official complaints against them.

If they weren’t full of vinegar, then why would they cry to the NPCs and snitch on them?

"The stench of vinegar can be unsightly when it gets overboard," Carmen commented. She understood the crypto message and wasn’t surprised that there were already people making movements.

In fact, those who were more aware of the impact of a global announcement from the system prompt had already started to make preparations.

Naturally, there were some who were unaware and quite ignorant.

"Oh god, I can’t wait to see the items in the internal auction."

"Hehe, I saved all my GMP precisely for this. Those who bid earlier are about to cry!"

"I know, right. Imagine spending so much on early items. They don’t even know the proper procedure for an auction."

During an auction, it was almost common knowledge that the best items were saved for the last, whereas the mediocre or barely up to par were auctioned first. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After all, it was conducted in such a manner to ensure all participants would stay seated and remain in the auction until their desired item. However, not all participants despised such methods because there could be unique items. And some truly rich ones who had so much money wouldn’t mind bidding on a few items because they were confident their wealth was enough to win everything.

"Look at these taunters."

"Heh, I’ve memorized them. I’ll bid whatever they want so they will learn not to snicker so openly."

Because this was literally the last internal auction. Those who chose not to bid or those who bid while having a lot of wealth were going to go all in to snag everything.

Not even scraps would be left for others, especially when there are some people who taunted so publicly without a care in the world.

Let them know that just because they were in the Vanguard Guild doesn’t save them from friendly fire in such instances.

However, they weren’t the only ones who felt like that.

’Hehe, I will win it all.’ Xu Feng smiled slyly and was about to announce the internal auction.

"For the fairness of the internal auction, I believe the Guild Leader should be limited to 2 items only." Veronica snatched away his chance to speak and brought forth a suggestion.

"I concur!" Carmen raised her hand and agreed.

"The Guild Leader has been too sly and even repeatedly scammed his members out of GMP. How can the Guild Leader be that despicable, right?"

"..."

Xu Feng glanced at these two with a gawking expression. How could they stab him in the back like that?

"This is fair for all." He argued.

"Says the one who excluded me from the damage chart without discussing it with me." Carmen rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, the Guild Leader was acting unfairly to exclude the Guild Commander."

"What fairness was there? This is just karma."

"Mhmm, the Guild Leader shouldn’t get upset by the same move."

Without any shame, many Vanguard Members chimed in and supported Carmen. They completely forgot about how the exclusion was meant to help them whatsoever.

Of course, that was just an exaggeration. They didn’t forget, but mainly chose to be shameless, a clear, definite trait of the Vanguard Guild.

’Damn. I’ve raised a bunch of traitors.’ Despite feeling astonished, he was actually impressed by their arguments.

Not only was it so wrong, but it also sounded so righteous. This was an impressive feat where you challenged one’s understanding of life.

"Whatever, two items it is." Xu Feng raised his hands in surrender. Truth be told, the drop loots were indeed nice, but not many were helpful to him.

If anything, he was just going to bid them for cheap and then use them as rewards.

But oh well.

Since his members want to use their GMP to get it rather than being awarded for free, then it was their loss.

Moreover, he had lost his mood to fool around anyway.

’Edgar Sandoval, right? Just for the skirmish in the film festival, you can’t wait to lean your face close to me.’ He narrowed his eyes and sentenced the former to a fate worse than death.

Other enemies he faced in the past were at least done with profits in mind.

They weren’t really against him as a person because none of them had the time to waste so much effort on a personal vendetta.

However, this Edgar was clearly seeking a personal vendetta with profits and morality in disguise.

Such a person was someone Xu Feng despised the most.

’If left to rot, they will surely do everything to impede my plan.’ He refused to let this kind of tumor fester. It had to be eradicated as early as possible to prevent any further spreading.
