Chapter 948 A Small Bet

After listening to Jin Siqi's passionate words, I fell into a brief silence.

What she said is not entirely unreasonable. If you want to build a guild, funds, connections, etc. are all very important elements and they are indispensable.

If any one of them is missing, it will hinder the development of the guild.

Speaking of which, I didn't take the New Valiant Guild seriously from the beginning, but it is my guild after all. Once it declines, I will be the one who suffers the loss.

The so-called abandonment will only occur when I am unable to manage it. But now, I have Dewey in terms of money, and I can fully supply it. There is no need to sacrifice the New Heroic Guild.

That being the case

"This Sunday, I will come to Cyber ​​City in person. You call all the senior officials together, and I will hold a meeting for you. Remember, this meeting is very important. Anyone who is absent will be fired."

Jin Siqi paused and said, "I understand."

After hanging up the call, my originally good mood turned a little worse, but life is like this. When I am in a good mood, there will also be times when I am in a bad mood.

I comforted myself with a few words and finally suppressed my unhappy mood. I put on a natural smile and went home.

After having dinner and resting for a while, I sent Emily back.

On the way, Emily asked me: "Are you worried?"

I smiled and shook my head: "No."

She stared at my face seriously for a while: "You must have something on your mind."

"why would you say so?"

Emily thought for a moment and said, "Your smile is fake and stiff."

What a keen observation.

I pondered for a while: "Well, it is indeed a little troublesome, but it will be over soon."

Emily nodded: "If you need my help, you can tell me directly."

"Don't worry, I can handle it." I smiled, pretending to be relaxed.

Emily didn't speak anymore, but remained silent as always.

After sending her home, I went directly to Ren's place.

Ren was kneeling in front of the coffee table. There was a desk lamp on the coffee table. Under the light of the desk lamp, a map covering less than half of the coffee table was laid out on it.

Renn must have been studying the map carefully before. When he saw me coming, he nodded slightly and continued to study the map on the coffee table.

I walked across to him, followed his example, knelt down, and looked at the map for a while: "What is this?"

"The overall design of the palace."

"Where did you get it?"

"I drew it myself," he said, marking a few points on the map, and then continued to read.

"I have something to do with you."

"I know."

"You know?" I was surprised: "What do you know?"

"I know you will definitely come to me," Renn raised his head and said seriously.

"reason?"

"Because you killed Xu Tengbo," Ren said, "because the Golden Flame Guild put you on the blacklist."

"It seems you really know."

"Not only do I know this, but I also know who is responsible for all this."

I quickly asked: "Who is it?"

"The second young master of Airey City, Carter Scott."

"It's him again!" I was so frightened and angry that I almost got up. After shouting for a few times, I calmed down a little: "The Golden Flame Guild is one of the five major guilds in the Zephyr Continent. It's just the second heir of Airui City. It shouldn't be like this. Have great ability to control it."

"You're right," Ren said: "He does not have the ability to control the five major guilds, but that doesn't mean he can't cooperate with the five major guilds. For the Golden Flame Guild, an unknown wandering adventurer is far less powerful than the two from Airui City. The heir has value."

I frowned: "What do you mean?"

"There are many adventurers who have been blacklisted by the Golden Flame Guild. If we take the opportunity of being blacklisted to recruit a successor under their banner, the benefits gained will be very considerable."

"They want to support Carter Scott to become the Lord of Airey City?"

Ren nodded and said: "Just as you want to support Rodney to become the Lord of Airui City, the Golden Flame Guild has placed its bet on the second young master, while the nobles of Airui City have placed their bets on the eldest young master."

I closed my eyes, lowered my head slightly, and remained silent. After a while, I raised my head again and looked at Renn: "Renn, tell me, is this a big gamble?"

"It's just a small gamble compared to your ultimate goal."

"Since it's a small bet, let's make it more interesting." I smiled: "Let them look like they have a small victory first."

Ren raised his head, looked at me, and asked puzzledly: "What do you mean?"

"Let me ask you, Ren, how can I make the eldest and second young masters look away from me?"

Ren thought for a while: "Rodney fell into their hands or died."

"If it were you, between letting Rodney fall into their hands or letting Rodney die, which one would you prefer?"

Ren said without thinking: "The latter, let Rodney die, so that we will not consume too much energy and combat effectiveness."

After hearing this, I nodded: "Then let him die, but if necessary, we have to bring him back to life."

Ren was startled, then nodded again. He already understood what I meant.

After leaving Ren's treehouse, I returned home.

When I entered the room, the girls all stared at me, and I looked confused: "What's wrong?"

Phoenix came to me, gently held my hand, and said in a sweet voice: "Xiao Yi, we are a family, right?"

I nodded.

"Since we are a family, we shouldn't hide anything, right?"

I nodded again.

"Since you don't want to hide anything, Xiaoyi, tell me, why are you unhappy today?"

Phoenix's clear eyes were shining like a mirror, trying to reveal the deepest secret buried in my heart.

Barbara also clutched her little toy and bared her teeth: "I wasted my time playing with toys waiting for you to tell me! If you dare to make me wait any longer, believe it or not, I will bite you to death! Tell me now!"

Looking at the eager eyes of the girls, I sighed and said, "I'm sorry to make you worry. The truth is, I was blacklisted by the Golden Flame Guild."

"Hey, it turns out that's what happened." Cagalli breathed a sigh of relief: "Really, I thought you had a woman and a child outside, so I was worried in vain!"

I:

"It's just a blacklist," Yura said, "Half of the nobles in Airui City have been blacklisted by the Golden Flame Guild, but they are still living well. It's no big deal."

I:

"Although the Golden Flame Guild is one of the five major guilds, everyone knows that this guild has a very bad atmosphere and its standards are not very good. Being blacklisted by it doesn't mean that Xiaoyi you are very successful as a person." Lilea took the photo Pat my back and comfort me.

I:

Remy: "It's so boring, it's better to sleep, ZZZZZZ"

I:

Covering my face, ashamed, speechless.
