Alone in the VIP room, Xu Feng was rather relaxed, making himself overly comfortable as if he owned the place.
Previously, he didn't know anything so he was rather respectful and polite.
However, now that he got the general gist of the situation regarding Star Falls City, he was like a wolf that had entered a lamb house.
He would be a fool to not slaughter these lambs and maximize his profits.
As for the worry that they might send him away and deny his request, Xu Feng was sure they wouldn't.
Although he wasn't absolutely sure, he was positive that Sandy was the person who recommended him.
Even if that wasn't the case, based on Howard's identity, the person who recommended him must be of fairly high status. Otherwise, with someone of Howard's stature, there was no way he would go out of his way to meet him.
A few minutes went by, and Jessica returned to the room, agreeing with his request.
"After much consideration and for your upcoming effort, the price can be cut down to 1,560 gold coins." She revealed.
'A 20% discount huh.' Composed on the surface, Xu Feng was even more reassured that whoever recommended him should be someone even higher than Howard.
"Alright, 1,560 gold coins it is, but as discussed before, it'll be paid through installment. I currently don't have many gold coins on me, but I do wish to operate those lands as soon as possible." Xu Feng said, nearly frustrating Jessica to death.
After all that ordeal, he just revealed he lacked the funds, but still wanted to use the lands right away.
'Are all nobles such bullies like him??! Or is this revenge for my rude remarks earlier?' Jessica screamed internally, wanting nothing more than to strangle Xu Feng.
Thankfully, she resisted her urge, mainly because she feared for her life.
Despite being heavily in debt, Xu Feng was rather satisfied, given the return value was definitely going to be the biggest one yet.
Shortly after the contract was signed, Xu Feng was "kindly" requested to leave while they would handle the subsequent procedure.
Leaving the Adventure Association, he stretched his arms and began browsing through his inbox.
'Huh, Kai sent me a message?' Surprised, Xu Feng opened the message and was in deep thought.
[Feng, someone posted that you are hiding a big secret and you become the center of attention now. Some of the guilds are now demanding you to hand over the secret, otherwise, the consequences would be big once they are eligible to enter the city.]
A cold expression flashed on his face as he finished reading it.
"These guilds must be tired of living to threaten me." He muttered, being 90 percent sure that the anonymous user making such a post was related to the Reaver Guild.
Such tactics were very common for them. Alas, they underestimated him severely if he thought he would be frightened by these superficial guilds.
Maybe if they were still playing those old virtual reality games, they might be able to harm him.
But in the Divine World?
They should just forget about their past glory and rethink themselves.
While keeping this in mind, Xu Feng went on to check the money he earned from the video fee he charged.
"Oh my... no wonder the Reaver Guild wanted to rope in other guilds to target me." Instantaneously, Xu Feng laughed in amusement at the money he earned.
A whopping total of 50 gold coins and some silver, which meant at least 5,000 players had purchased his video at the cost of 1 silver coin.
