Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer
Chapter 1474: Bardmon City Part 4
10 minutes later, Hazel managed to obtain permission and signed the contract officially.
"Congratulations on being an alliance of our Vanguard Guild." Xu Feng stood up and extended his hand for a shake.
Hazel glanced at it briefly before chuckling. She stood up and shook his hand.
"I’m so glad we’re not enemies." She commented.
To provoke someone like Xu Feng was truly asking to have a constant migraine.
"It’s hard for us to become enemies when we’re not that overbearing." Xu Feng mused.
The Vanguard Guild was never the type to provoke others. But likewise, they wouldn’t let anyone walk over their head and get away scot free.
Their motto was simple.
You don’t mess with me, then we don’t mess with you.
Cross that line, and there would be trouble.
"Anyway, we shall excuse ourselves to execute the planning." Hazel calmly said.
"I wish you the best of luck." He nodded and didn’t stop her from leaving.
By the time they left, Xu Feng plopped into his seat. Exhaustion filled his eyes as he managed to convince one of the most stubborn players.
"Well, maybe it’s because Blue Wolves still exist, so she’s not that stubborn." When he learned of her existence in the past timeline, Blue Wolves had long been destroyed by Razor Nightmare.
A few seconds later, someone knocked on the door.
"Viscount Lin Feng, you called for me?" Jameson entered the room and inquired.
"Indeed," he said and placed a pile of documents on the table. "This Razor Nightmare Guild has been avoiding taxes for a long time. The money they owed to the city could have been used for the refugees."
Upon hearing the statement, Jameson’s amiable expression gradually turned dark.
Avoiding taxes was already despicable enough, but to do that during times of crisis was even more frowned upon.
However, what truly triggered Jameson was the word refugees.
After all, the City Magistrate’s beloved niece had become one of the refugees when funds didn’t reach her place in time to fend off the Colossuses.
Had it not been for an Immortal from Blue Wolves who happened to be there at the time of the incident, the niece would have forfeited their life.
Since then, the City Magistrate had gone on a rampage and thoroughly punished tax evaders.
’No wonder the Viscount summoned the Blue Wolves for a meeting.’ Jameson thought to himself. He believed the meeting was about taxes and the incident regarding the rescuing of the City Magistrate’s kin.
Without hesitation, Jameson approached the table and grabbed the pile of papers.
As he continued to browse through the evidence, his face gradually darkened.
"Outrageous!" Jameson gnashed his teeth when the Immortals they chose to trust were actually avoiding taxation so much.
What made it infuriating was that one of them happened to coincide with the necessary funds required to assist the City Magistrate’s niece’s living place.
’Razor Nightmare seriously didn’t listen to warnings.’ Xu Feng was honestly baffled when he realized how much of a mess they had created for themselves.
It was fine avoiding taxes, but there were so many ways to have it lowered.
He seriously couldn’t comprehend what the accountants in Razor Nightmare were doing.
But then again, they did hide well.
Alas, in front of him, there was nothing they could do to hide it from his discerning eyes.
Now, it was just fantastic.
He could destroy their noble status even more easily.
"Jameson, you should get the information checked and verified first." Xu Feng calmly said. "That way, people wouldn’t accuse me of trying to sabotage others for selfish gains."
Jameson nodded in agreement. Needless to say, such thoughts had indeed crossed his mind.
But upon hearing Xu Feng bring up the matters of verifying the news, he became more or less convinced that the information was true.
"I shall, Viscount Lin Feng," Jameson replied and excused himself from the room. He was still going to confirm it through multiple sources.
Sometime later, Xu Feng glanced at the Game Forum and was proud of OneManMedia’s work.
"The news spread so fast. Now everyone knows Razor Nightmare is getting targeted." He mused.
Of course, that didn’t mean all the posts were positive.
[Who does the Vanguard Guild think they are?]
[They won a few skirmishes and are now picking fights with the Super Guild? Do they really think Super Guilds were for show?]
[Vanguard Guild must have stroked their ego too hard and thought they were really the shit!]
[Many members of their chamber of commerce had left. The Vanguard Guild’s financial status is on the brink of destruction.]
"My financial status is dying?" Xu Feng was amused by these players’ statistical charts. Just because players were buying things less and less from his guild didn’t mean there were no other buyers.
In fact, the biggest customers of the Vanguard Guild were precisely these NPCs that the players constantly neglected or forgot.
So what if he lost a player’s customer?
He still has a flock of NPCs waiting to bring money to him.
The only reason he didn’t reveal this was to prevent others from stealing his NPCs’ businesses. The longer he stalled, the longer he would establish an influence among the NPCs as a trusted merchant.
But then one thing remained true.
His income indeed tanked quite a bit, with many leaving the chamber of commerce.
Although they were repeatedly warned that once left, it would be extremely hard for them to rejoin, these people ultimately couldn’t withstand the pressure from multiple Super Guilds.
They weren’t necessarily suppressed in the Divine World, but in the real world.
And everyone still needed to survive in the real world before they could do anything in the Divine World.
"Whatever, time to steal their money anyway." He clasped his hands and got ready to head toward the military headquarters.
With Blue Wolves taking the lead to help him eradicate Razor Nightmare’s position in Bardmon City, Xu Feng could relax to focus on the court order now.
He believed Hazel could definitely implement the plan.
