In the fight between Void Blade and Quan Zhen Sect, it was inevitable that Sanguine Alliance would be brought up in any discussion about the fight . If Quan Zhen Sect lost, it would seem that Sanguine Alliance was extremely weak . Conversely, if Void Blade lost, it would instead not reflect that badly on Sanguine Alliance .
Sanguine Warflag understood the temperament of the members from Quan Zhen Sect . They were all very pragmatic players and were not too concerned with the issues of integrity . If there was money to be made, these members did not have qualms killing themselves a few times for it .
Void Blade definitely was not short of money while Quan Zhen Sect was absolutely shameless .
If Quan Zhen Sect decided to keep this matter hushed, Sanguine Alliance would lose all respect in Twilight City . Therefore, Sanguine Warflag had decided that they should take the initiative to expose Void Blade’s embarrassing defeat . This would prevent Void Blade and Quan Zhen Sect from cooperating in the future .
Sanguine Alliance had no shortage of members . After tens of thousands of members received the order, they immediately went to the forum to post .
The immense number of posts that went up on the forum exposing Void Blade left a huge impression on the minds of players .
Sure enough, after seeing the posts of Sanguine Alliance, Big Bear Deng Deng An’s face darkened . He hurriedly logged in into the game .
Big Bear Deng Deng An immediately contacted Captain Don’t Open Fire, “Hey Captain, what is going on?”
Sanguine Rain’s squad was destroyed in less than twenty minutes . Captain Don’t Open Fire displayed a face of desperation and let out a big sigh . “That bunch of people has been using guerrilla tactics . We simply do not have any way to take them down . ”
“Guerrilla tactics?” Big Bear was slightly confused . “Aren’t they stuck at the resurrection point?”
“Stuck? Those guys are extremely cunning, they are very slippery and hard to catch . They only start a fight when they have the numbers advantage… Even Sanguine Rain could not match them… why don’t we just drop this matter at this point . ” Captain Don’t Open Fire now dreaded facing Quan Zhen Sect . He finally understood how Quan Zhen Sect had triumphed over Sanguine Alliance which had overwhelmingly greater numbers .
There was no favourable outcome from fighting against the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect . Even if one had the upper hand, there was nothing to be gained from it .
After all, the people from Quan Zhen Sect were vicious . They even managed to exterminate a professional squad .
“Forget it?” Big Bear Deng Deng An heard Captain Don’t Open Fire’s plea to compromise and quickly retorted, “We have already posted some things on the world forums . If we were to stop now, wouldn’t it be harming ourselves?”
Captain Don’t Open Fire replied, “That is better than being tormented . ”
“…” Big Bear Deng Deng An saw that Captain Don’t Open Fire had lost his fighting spirit and was also dejected .
The resurrection point was the point in the city where traffic was the highest . If Void Blade did not continue fighting, it would have proven the point of the posts decrying Void Blade’s defeat to Quan Zhen Sect . In front of the many bystanders from Twilight City, there was no way for Void Blade to escape this predicament .
“Huh! Quan Zhen Sect’s Spring Halo just added me as a friend!” Captain Don’t Open Fire said in a state of confusion .
Captain Don’t Open Fire opened the friend request and it was indeed Spring Halo .
“Why did he add you as a friend?” Big Bear Deng Deng An questioned .
“I am not too sure…” Captain Don’t Open Fire replied .
At this moment, Spring Halo sent over a message which stated, “Hi, Void Blade’s guild leader, we have not seen each other in a while . To think we had to meet under such circumstances . ”
“…” Captain Don’t Open Fire was speechless and replied, “We are also helpless . Can I ask what business you might have with me? We have known each other for quite a while . I am sure everything can be discussed amicably . ”
Captain Don’t Open Fire initially thought that Spring Halo had an ulterior motive for contacting him and his words carried a negative tone .
When Spring Halo heard Captain Don’t Open Fire’s words, he lightly smiled and said, “There is definitely room for discussion . Actually we have no grievance against you . ”
“What do you mean?”
Spring Halo replied, “Let me move away from the small talk . I am sure you have a clear idea of the strength of our Quan Zhen Sect . ”
“Quan Zhen Sect really is worthy of their reputation!” Captain Don’t Open Fire words of praise were sincere .
To be honest, Captain Don’t Open Fire only thought that Quan Zhen Sect was a bunch of gangsters . Who would have thought that these fellas were more of a bunch of bandits .
“That being said, who do you think will be at a loss if this fight were to continue?” Spring Halo enquired .
“Haha!” Captain Don’t Open Fire smiled and replied, “In a frontal battle, Quan Zhen Sect might not be a match for Void Blade . . ”
It seemed like Captain Don’t Open Fire was indeed frightful . There was no certainty in his choice of words .
“I have to admit, in a frontal battle, a small guild like Quan Zhen Sect definitely cannot hope to match Void Blade . But truthfully, why would we ever choose to engage you in a frontal battle? I actually feel that attacking from the shadows is a more interesting mode of attack …” Spring Halo said without a shred of hesitation .
“You…” Captain Don’t Open Fire was feeling very unjustified . He felt that this bunch of idiots from Quan Zhen Sect were shameless to the core . They were willing to use such crass ways to attack others .
“Hey, Captain, don’t be too angry, there is definitely room for discussion . ” Spring Halo proposed towards Captain Don’t Open Fire .
“Oh? How do we resolve this?” Captain Don’t Open Fire asked .
“This is actually very simple, return all the items you stole to us!” Spring Halo remarked .
“That’s all?’ Captain Don’t Open Fire was actually pleasantly surprised .
This condition was actually a simple effort on the part of Void Blade .
“Of course, our Quan Zhen Sect is one that is most reasonable,” Spring Halo answered shamelessly . “But if you guys just retreat like this, it might not be the best idea . I have heard things on the forums . ”
Captain Don’t Open Fire retorted, “So what do you think we should do?” Spring Halo’s words were actually sound advice . If both parties suddenly stopped the fight, it would continue to inflame the gossip on the forums .
Spring Halo said, “It is even easier for you!”
“Oh? Tell me about it!” Captain Don’t Open Fire answered .
“Problems that can be solved by money is generally not a big problem . As long as you give us some compensation, Quan Zhen Sect will allow ourselves to be killed by you guys . ” Spring Halo grinned as he flashed his blade around .
“…” Captain Don’t Open Fire was stunned . This group of shameless individuals was willing to even betray their own morals .
Captain Don’t Open Fire was a nouveau riche and did not lack money . He opened his mouth and asked, “How much money do you want?”
Spring Halo replied, “We have a total of 11 people, the cost of appearance and the cost of emotional damage to one person would cost 10,000 gold . Taking account for the fact that we are old friends, how about 100,000 gold then?”
“Pu~!!!” Captain Don’t Open Fire heard his demands and let out a mouthful of blood .
Now, gold coins were depreciating and the exchange rate with RMB was about 1:60 . One hundred thousand gold was about 6 million RMB . On top of this, there were tax handling fees leading up to a final amount of almost 7 million dollars…
Seven million dollars for compensation for injuries? These bunch from Quan Zhen Sect were really operating similar to that of a gang . They had the gall to ask for such an insane amount of money .
