Chapter 502: linked interests (1)
Ye Zhongming’s words lasted a long time, but no one spoke. Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock.
They were so shocked that their brains couldn’t comprehend what this meant. They felt like this was too out of hand.
Even Cloud Peak members felt the same. The difference was that they felt proud.
There could only be one voice in Ying City... Ying City will become Cloud Peak’s hunting ground!
How much confidence and pride did a person have to say that?
If it became a reality, would this be a part of history? They not only participated in history, but they witnessed it being made.
Was the boss going to lead Cloud Peak to glory once again?
“Since it is Cloud Peak’s hunting ground, you must pay a price to live and hunt inside. I call it...”
“City tax.”
He gave them enough time to think before saying slowly. His words made these Ying City factions feel insulted.
He... Collected tax?
He was ripping them off.
There were two thousand factions that came. If each one paid tax to Cloud Peak, how much would they get?
Was he forcing everyone to go against Cloud Peak?
“Ye, Boss Ye!” A guy at the end of the first row shouted and attracted everyone’s attention. All the gazes drained this person’s courage.
But he had already shouted, and everyone was waiting for him to continue. He could only pick up some courage, “This, this, city tax, how, how much?”
A few thousand gazes had flames in them. Although they were afraid of this young man, they believed him. Truth proved that everything he said became real. Be it good or bad.
“Any faction that agrees to join the tax system will become a member of Cloud Peak. To a certain extent, we will stand on the same side. The main rule is to protect Ying City’s interests.”
“As long as you become a member of the Alliance, Cloud Peak will provide benefits to help all of you grow. This is my promise.”
“As for what they are, Xia Lei will tell them to you. Anyways, you will all be satisfied.”
After Ye Zhongming said all that, the discussions continued below before he said, “I have shown sincerity. I hope you do, too, as it will benefit everyone.”
Their bodies shivered, and they understood what he meant.
If you disagree, don’t blame me!
This Boss Ye’s power was built on fresh blood and lives.
After saying all this, Ye Zhongming retreated to the chair. Xia Lei sat beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder. She clearly explained the benefits that Cloud Peak would give Ying City.
This concerned everyone’s interest, and everyone listened intently. The more they heard, the more excited they got.
Cloud Peak was creating a club, and those who joined would become members. Their benefits were in a few areas.
One was the priority purchase of modified potions that included the modified potions of the first three levels. Although they weren’t cheap, everyone knew that it was good. In the past, only factions that Cloud Peak supported could purchase it, but now it was open. People would still be willing to purchase it if it were slightly more expensive.
Next was the priority purchase of equipment and member’s price.
Everyone knew that Cloud Peak produced good equipment, which many people envied. After the Precision Wheel, the small factions relied on Cloud Peak's equipment to rise.
Ye Zhongming’s smith level increased, and he could create better weapons. This was an excellent chance for them to get stronger.
The price that Xia Lei announced was enough to entice any of them.
