Chapter 1031: A Powerful Background Will Bring A Calamity
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Beiting Huang did not miss the worry in his eyes. Clearly, this matter should have caused a lot of trouble for the Snow Wolf. Back then, in the Alliance City, in order to make Iron Blood’s reputation shake on the continent, she gave the Celestial Fruit to Brother Qin Yu in front of the entire continent. She did not expect that a man’s wealth would cause him to suffer.
As for Big Brother Qin Yu, he was a meticulous person. It was impossible for him not to have thought of this. He was not a greedy person either. However, he still accepted it. Presumably, it was to fulfill her wish.
At the thought of this, Beiting Huang was both touched and guilty.
“The person on the stage is the branch president of the Astava City Mercenary Association. His name is Fica. He is actually the true leader of the Poison Bee Mercenary Group. The current leader is only hired by him. The Poison Bee Mercenary Group is now a B-rank mercenary group and has already completed two A-rank Quests. As long as they complete another A-rank Quest for the Celestial Fruit, they will be able to advance to A-rank. That’s why he keeps coming to find trouble with us,” said Qin Yu in a low voice.
Only then did Beiting Huang understand that the Celestial Fruit was a treasure protected by sacred beasts. In fact, could a mere B-rank mercenary group complete such a mission? It was no wonder that Fica, that bastard, would target the Snow Wolf.
Just then, another confrontation took place on the stage. Although it was a physical confrontation between two Spiritual Grandmasters, the energy fluctuations it caused were still very shocking. Fica was a Nine Sword Spiritual Grandmaster, while Qin Duan was only a Three Sword Spiritual Grandmaster. There was an insurmountable gap between low and high levels, and Qin Duan was clearly at a disadvantage.
Qin Duan’s eyes were already filled with killing intent. Even though he was only a low-leveled Spiritual Grandmaster, as the former leader of the number one mercenary group on the continent, Qin Duan had a few trump cards. It would not be easy for the other party to make him submit. “President Fica, as the branch president of the Mercenary Association, you actually violated the rules and established a mercenary group in private. The Poison Bee Mercenary Group has already taken more than half of the benefits of the entire Astava City Mercenary Association. Now, you actually want to offend me, the Snow Wolf, for a Celestial Fruit. Do you really dare to ignore my strength?”
“It’s just a Celestial Fruit. You, the Snow Wolf, have a lot of them! Of course I know that the former Huang City and the current Alliance Empire are your background. But don’t forget that both Huang City and the Alliance Empire are the Divine Hall of Judgment’s greatest enemies. A powerful background can bring you honor and disaster! Your Excellency Qin Duan, he who understands the times is a wise man. As the branch president of the Astava City Mercenary Association, as long as you sell the Celestial Fruit to the Poison Bee Mercenary Group, I’m willing to reduce your mercenary fees by 10%.” Fica didn’t care about this at all and spoke shamelessly. The members of the hundreds of mercenary groups in the entire Astava City were watching and had cold expressions.
How would the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group dare to agree to the benefits Fica offered? Once they agreed, it would cause public anger. Fica’s actions were completely self-serving, using the benefits of the Mercenary Guild for his own benefit. The Snow Wolf Mercenary Group was once the number one mercenary group on the continent. How big was its business? After forming an alliance with Iron Blood, not only did it not affect its reputation, but on the contrary, after its strength increased greatly, it had more and more opportunities to be personally asked to complete quests by various large factions.
If the Snow Wolf’s mercenary fees were reduced, the Mercenary Association would definitely spread the discrepancy to other mercenary groups in order to report to the headquarters.
Before Fica could finish his sentence, the entire square was in an uproar. At this moment, everyone’s expressions were very ugly, and their eyes were burning with anger. Fica’s actions undoubtedly attracted public anger. It was simply too much.
