Chapter 278: Disdained Rats

Chapter 278: Disdained Rats

You wish to join Empyreal Alliance? Slyfox squinted his eyes at the old men.

The old men looked at him with their heads lifted high and said, Hmph! It is your honour to take us in. Having Ki Industries on your side means a lasting supply of epic furniture!

Apart from Old Florist, there wasnt anyone in the game who could provide a steady supply of epic furniture. Originally based in Empyreon, Old Florist had since moved over to Yoda after Tigeroars assassination attempt on Drako Yau went awry and dragged him into the mess. It was now one of the signature stores in Yoda as well.

Ki Industries, namely the old craftsmen, was the second party with the capability to pump out epic furniture.

Spire master, what do you think?

Chau Yu closed his eyes and said, Nothing really. We cannot take them in. He then projected a forum post into the air with his phone.

The post was made by Dragon Alliances Hexen, the internal affairs minister of the alliance. Financial matters and daily operations were all under his administration. With most of Corrupted Officials players being businessmen, Hexen and his members took care of their duties splendidly.

In the post, Hexen published all expenses and resources they had invested into Ki Industries since they joined. He went as far as converting all of those items into gold coins as wellthe total sum of absolutely shocking. The greatest issue among everything was that the income so far had been zero.

Hexen openly admitted that Ki Industries did in fact produce an epic piece of furniture. However, he also added that the craftsmen representing the company turned on them and left right afterwards.

The post ended with the question, Is this the way the top company in the Third Eastern City and leading company of the wood processing industry works?

Now, the old craftsmen of Ki Industries were like hot potatoes; whoever took them in would be reviled by all players.

Why were guilds and alliances powerful? Because of their players. Only with players joining could they continue to thrive and grow. No one dared to anger the masses, especially when they had a perfect example of what that incurredDark World.

Dark World tried to impose themselves on Howl of the Tempest Wolves back then. With Mask leading a staunch defence that showed the world their will to die and break rather than surrender, many hot-blooded players eventually joined his cause, which also established the foundation of todays Dragon Alliance.

Ki Sai Wing sighed and said, You still dont understand, dont you? Those despicable moves were all used on my enemies. For my allies, I have always treated them with sincerity. How else could Ki Industries have lasted for three generations?

Sigh, never mind. Ki Sai Wing threw a cheque onto the table. This is your final payment, you are now dismissed.

Elder Ki froze in disbelief. You You dare to fire me? Ki Sai Wing, youre mad!

Ki Sai Wing turned around without looking at him. Call me mad if you want to.

Elder Ki went silent for a good while. Suddenly, he laughed coldly and said, Youll regret this! My characters all levelled up anyways! Im sure people will buy my products even if I operate individually!

Im afraid that is not for you to decide. The person who spoke was the man standing in the cornerButler Chan who had been serving the Ki family for thirty-two years. I suppose you have forgotten about the agreement you all signed with the company before entering the game. While your accounts are bound personally to you all, they are considered company property. Please delete your character before you leave the company, or you will receive an attorneys letter soon.

Drako Yau was oblivious to everything happening in Ki Industries, nor was he bothered by them at all. His days had been hectic lately: levelling up, sparring with his companions, levelling up his Scrollcrafter subclass

After grinding endlessly, he was now a Level 4 scrollcrafter and ten per cent experience away from reaching Level 5.

His Tattered Armour had gotten a lot better after giving it time to recuperate and feeding it with Holy Blessing Scrolls that Hexen bought at high prices whenever one showed up on the market. Drako Yau kept trying to converse with it, but it rarely responded.

Well, its worth it as long as all this helps it out.

Since Tattered Armour had saved his life once, it was only right for him to aid it with all his might.
