While Xu Feng was feeling perplexed and angered by the sudden development of multiple corporations, an emergency meeting was commencing at the Zhao Enterprise.
Zhao Xin sat in the center of the meeting table with a solemn expression.
It was no exaggeration to say that her face, while glistening on the surface, was expressing a darkened gloomy look.
With a heavy heart, Zhao Xin tapped her fingers repeatedly on the table and said, "My two eldest brothers are really great. They've spread the news of our plan, so now multiple competitors of ours have gotten wind of it and are now making an effort to join in the Divine World en masses as well."
"Hmph, those two really know how to make a mess!" One of the shareholders, Mr. Li slammed his palm at the desk, infuriated by the actions of those two.
The other shareholders nodded their heads in agreement. This was no longer a family problem, but one that threatened— no, it had already harmed their wealth tremendously.
By releasing such confidential information to the public, it had ruptured their plan.
"My informant told me that many corporations are preparing for the Divine World, with many other slightly below corporations seeking an office in the Apex Tower." Ms. Chen adjusted her glasses and informed them.
"This might be an overreach from me, but as a shareholder, I can no longer continue if those two brothers of yours remain in the company." Mrs. Hu suddenly said.
As a prominent real estate mogul, such actions were considered the biggest taboo in the industry, and she could not tolerate it.
This was no different than the situation of someone revealing the true values of multiple buildings that she planned on buying for cheap from the owners.
"I petition the immediate removal of them from anything related to the company." Mrs. Hu voiced her proposal.
Such a petition to remove a board director was usually long and tedious, given it would result in many complicated aftermaths.
However, the petition did not meet any objection, and all the shareholders raised their hands up and agreed with Mrs. Hu's proposal.
As every shareholder promptly exited the meeting room, Zhao Xin turned to Anna Liu and praised, "Not bad, Anna. It's only been a few days and the rumors already circulated so much, especially with the culprit leading to my brothers."
"Hehe, do I get a raise then?" Anna Liu asked cheekily in response.
"You can have a raise and a week's break." Zhao Xin smirked. "I'll be unavailable this week since I need to finish some things in the Divine World and prepare for my grandfather's birthday."
"And you also need to meet up with your youngest stepbrother." Anna Liu interjected.
"You're right... I wonder what he's doing right now." As Zhao Xin sat quietly on her chair, she couldn't help but think about her youngest stepbrother, unaware that he was making strides of his own in the Divine World
"Damn, this monster is really one tough foe." Zhao Kai panted heavily as he plopped to the ground, exhausted from firing so many times.
To add salt to injury, the experience point he gained was only 1, which meant all that hard work was for naught. At least that was what it seemed at first.
The true value lies in the material dropped from the Ironwood Treant: Ironwood Treant Bark, Treant Sap, Ironwood Core, and Luminous Moss.
Wiping off the sweat from his forehead, Zhao Kai shouted in joy, "Feng, I've killed one."
As he turned around, he finally realized Xu Feng was nowhere to be found.
"What the?" Confused, Zhao Kai rushed forward to the original place where Xu Feng was standing. Once he arrived, Zhao Kai soon noticed a note that stated he had something to do offline and to message him if he needed something.
"What did he have to do?" He scratched his head, seemingly perplexed by his action. "Whatever, I'll just look for more Ironwood Treants. He can't even help as a Healer anyway!"
While Zhao Kai resumed his training, back in the real world. Xu Feng arrived at the bank's entrance with confidence.
'Time to get those VIP treatments!' Xu Feng adjusted his glasses and exclaimed inwardly.
