While Jessica's message became loud and clear to the crowd that she was not a simple receptionist, Xu Feng could only smile bitterly beneath his mask.
From the surface, it might seem like Jessica was protecting him.
After all, she only made a move once someone went ahead and attempted to assassinate him.
However, Xu Feng knew that Jessica didn't simply just want to protect him. Explore stories on empire
She wanted to use this incident as an excuse and leverage to showcase her power, sending fear to these earlier complainers.
Within the rules of the Adventure Association, she was to remain polite to them because they were adventurers working for commissions whereas she was there to support and assist them.
Thus, she could not retaliate and smile amidst their numerous complaints and demands.
'That assassin is really a fool to pick a fight here and not wait until I'm outside.' Xu Feng sighed softly.
He didn't even plan on trapping any Reaver Guild here in the association to make another demonstration. It was merely all a coincidence, and that member only made it worse for the Reaver Guild to survive much longer.
News regarding Lin Feng being protected by a powerful mage like Jessica would spread all across Star Falls City like wildfire.
By that time, who would still dare to debate whether it was worth offending Reaver Guild or not?
Sure enough, while Jessica brought Xu Feng to the VIP Room, the forum once again exploded, starring none other than the Reaver Guild member.
-Amazing!! Lin Feng's appearance in the Adventure Association and without needing to make a move, one Reaver Guild Assassin was slain on the spot and detained by the Receptionist.
-Lin Feng isn't the Guild Leader of Vanguard, but his position cannot be underestimated!
Thus, the Reaver Guild's reputation and prestige in other cities remained high, unlike the Star Falls City one.
Just as the meeting was ongoing, a woman suddenly knocked on the door.
"Come in," Gao Zhong said, wondering what other trouble there could be.
The woman outside was his personal assistant, and he had warned solemnly that unless it was a big matter, she was not allowed to disturb him. Hence, he was already anticipating a lot of bad news, just not how terrible it was.
Shortly after the woman entered, she ignored everyone else except for Gao Zhong. She walked toward him and whispered something in his ears.
Originally, Gao Zhong's facial expression was still rather calm, but as he listened more and more, he frowned deeply.
Naturally, that micro change of expression was detected by everyone in the meeting room, and Gui Sha himself felt like a grim reaper's scythe was looming over his neck.
'Please tell me it's not news regarding Lin Feng.' Gui Sha prayed inwardly. He had already warned his subordinates to stop antagonizing Lin Feng for a while, given he wanted to back off from this battle.
However, Gui Sha knew it was definitely related to Lin Feng once Gao Zhong's gaze turned to him.
"Gui Sha!!!" Gao Zhong finally lost his composure and shouted in fury.
"Look at the great deed you have made! We became nothing but a laughing stock!"
A cold chill ran down Gui Sha's spine as he truly wanted to cry aloud.
How did he do another "great deed" when he placed an order not to antagonize Lin Feng any further?
This was a great injustice!
