Maple City was one of the major cities in Star-Moon Kingdomâs eastern region. Although its population was no match for White River City, it was not too far off.
At this moment, over half of Maple City had fallen under Underworldâs control, and it was only a matter of time before the organization controlled the city entirely.
âYoung Master Feng, do you really plan to contact Black Flame?â South Wolf asked curiously, watching Feng Xuanyang as he sat on the sofa enjoying delicacies.
Currently, Black Flame had become one of the great experts ranked on the Godâs Domain Experts List and had even received the title of âAsuraâ from the Secret Pavilion. He had now become an expert recruiting. However, Black Flame had once rejected their kind offer in the past, going as far as to toy with Feng Xuanyang. He had even ruined Underworldâs plans. Based on Feng Xuanyangâs personality, he would continue to plan Black Flameâs destruction.
Now, however, Feng Xuanyang had actually taken the initiative to contact the Black Flame he hated so fiercely.
âThere are some things you will never understand. Based on our previous investigations, that Mechanical Slayer was a very special monster,â Feng Xuanyang said as he examined the compiled data in his hands, a playful smile appearing on his handsome face.
âA special monster?â South Wolf was confused.
âThatâs right. According to the information I have here, any player killed by the Mechanical Slayer had to wait one natural day before reviving. Even healersâ resurrection skills were ineffective on these players. Moreover, the penalty for death doubled. After these players revived, they also entered a weakened state for two natural days. During this period, all their Attributes have decreased by 30%, and the EXP they can receive has decreased by 50%,â Feng Xuanyang reported pleasantly as he lightly shook his head. âDo you understand what this means?â
South Wolf shook his head, growing more confused at Feng Xuanyangâs words.
âHave you ever seen a monster with such strength?
âWith Godâs Domainâs basic settings, the stronger a monster is, the greater its loot will be. The Mechanical Slayerâs loot must be stunning. There might even be many Epic items among its drops.
âMeanwhile, Zero Wing is the largest beneficiary from the looting war. They claimed more drops than any other Guild in White River City. Obtaining these drops could skyrocket Underworldâs future development. However, it is simply too difficult for us to obtain them. Moreover, we donât have any concrete information about the loot. Trying to steal it from Zero wing would not be easy.
âHence, Iâve decided to invest in Zero Wing. Although we would have to spend a large sum of money, when I become one of Zero Wingâs stockholders, I can easily obtain any information I want. Afterward, I can just set up a trap to steal those items and, slowly but surely, destroy Zero Wing from the inside.
âIsnât it just money? I have plenty of that.â
Feng Xuanyang was determined to join Zero Wing. Nobody could resist the enticement of one billion Credits. As long as he could get ahold of a small percentage of Zero Wingâs shares, he could obtain all information relevant to Zero Wing fair and square. Previously, not only had Shi Feng acted so arrogantly before him, but Shi Feng had also caused his plans to support Dark Star to fall short. So, why would he ever let Shi Feng escape his punishment?
South Wolf trembled upon hearing Feng Xuanyangâs plans.
Suddenly, South Wolf realized that he was still naive. His understanding of Feng Xuanyang was still too shallow.
Feng Xuanyangâs plans were simply insane and terrifying.
In South Wolfâs opinion, Feng Xuanyangâs plans werenât related to the Mechanical Slayerâs loot at all. Feng Xuanyang just wanted his revenge on Shi Feng. The drops were an excuse to take action.
To think that Feng Xuanyang was actually willing to spend one billion Credits just to destroy Zero Wing and get his revengeâŚ. He was a lunatic!
âYoung Master Feng, Iâm not trying to overstep my boundaries, but we have gone looking for trouble with Black Flame many times before. We have hunted Zero Wingâs core team. Now that we are trying to become the Guildâs shareholders, wonât he just reject us outright?â South Wolf said softly.
âOf course, I have already considered that. Although we were behind the attacks on Zero Wing, Dark Star stood in the forefront. I have never personally made an appearance. Although Black Flame knows the truth, on the surface, we maintain our pretenses with each other. Moreover, the reason Iâve contacted Black Flame during his time of glory is that I want him to think that I noticed his potential and that I am willing to pay any price to obtain him. That way, I can smoothly become a shareholder of Zero Wing without arousing any suspicion,â Feng Xuanyang smiled coldly as he gazed into the wine glass in his hand. After taking a sip, he added, âBesides, is there anyone who would willingly refuse money? Iâve investigated Zero Wingâs background. This Guild does not possess any sort of funding. If Black Flame wishes to develop his Guild further, he will inevitably need large sums of Credits. To Zero Wing, one billion Credits is like a heaven-sent fortune.
âIf Black Flame is intelligent, he will set aside personal feelings and act logically. He has no reason not to accept my offer.â
South Wolfâs heart suddenly pounded. He never expected that his guess would hit the mark. Feng Xuanyangâs true goal had never been to obtain the drops of the Mechanical Slayer. Instead, he only ever cared about Zero Wingâs destruction. To put it another way, Feng Xuanyang planned to âincidentallyâ obtain the drops after he destroyed Zero Wing.
As fear began to grip South Wolfâs heart, Feng Xuanyang contacted Shi Feng.
â
âOh? Vice-Leader Feng, to what do I owe the pleasure of your call today?â Shi Feng asked rhetorically the moment the call connected.
âGuild Leader Black Flame, regarding the matters we discussed during our last meeting, I have thought them through. Regarding a Guild with boundless prospects like Zero Wing, Underworld is willing to pay one billion Credits to become one of its shareholders. At that time, with the support of Underworld, Zero Wing will certainly grow to become the overlord of Star-Moon Kingdomâs eastern region. Guild Leader Black Flame, when will you have time to sign the contract with us?â Feng Xuanyang asked, smiling.
âIt looks like you have finally realized Zero Wingâs value. Although your previous conduct was slightly excessive, I will be magnanimous and forgive you this time. Letâs first talk about the shares, then. If there are no problems after our discussion, we can discuss a time to sign the contract. After all, the shares of the utmost importance to Zero Wing,â Shi Feng said, expressing his interest.
However, the moment Feng Xuanyang heard Shi Fengâs words, he very nearly erupted into a flurry of curses. The wine glass Feng Xuanyang had held, however, was less fortunate as it fell from his trembling hand and shattered on the floor.
Shi Feng spoke as if he thought Feng Xuanyang was a child who had done something wrong, and that Feng Xuanyang was currently pleading for Shi Fengâs forgiveness. Why wouldnât such blatant humiliation enrage the proud and arrogant Feng Xuanyang?
_Black FlameâŚ! I willâŚendureâŚtodayâs matters⌠! The moment I become a shareholder of Zero Wing, I will sign your death certificate!_ Feng Xuanyang inwardly swore as he suppressed his anger. As calmly as possible, he said, âOf course. Underworld will willingly purchase 10% of Zero Wingâs shares for one billion Credits. We will also supply Zero Wing with 100 Gold Coins every week, as well as send a large number of experts and talents from various fields, allowing the Guild to become the overlord of White River City.â
âOne billion for 10% of the shares?â Shi Feng shook his head. Revealing a cold smile, he said, âI think we may have a misunderstanding. Vice-Leader Feng, do you know what âtimes have changedâ means?â
âIs Guild Leader Black Flame planning to reject my well-intentioned investment because of our previous issues?â Feng Xuanyang hurriedly said. âIt was truly just a misunderstanding. I had no knowledge of the actions against Zero Wing. Lone Tyrant was responsible for those attacks. Despite my explicit command barring him from taking action against Zero Wing, Lone Tyrant insisted on doing so. Underworld never intended to strike Zero Wing.â
âVice-Leader Feng, you misunderstand me. Iâm not saying that I donât agree to

Underworldâs investment. However, one billion for 10% of Zero Wingâs shares? Vice-Leader Feng, donât you think youâre being a little too greedy?â Shi Feng shook his head slightly. He said seriously, âVice-Leader Feng, greed can ruin oneâs life. However, seeing Vice-Leader Fengâs sincerity, I will sell you 0.1% of Zero Wingâs shares in exchange for one billion Credits. What do you think?â
At this moment, Shi Fengâs tone implied that this was an incredibly generous offer There was no sense of disharmony in Shi Fengâs words, and it sounded as if his every word was true.
âBlack⌠Flame!â Feng Xuanyangâs face immediately flushed red upon hearing Shi Fengâs remarks, the hair all over his body standing on end and the blood vessels on his forehead surfacing. Feng Xuanyang was no longer capable of suppressing the rage within him. Word by word, he angrily bellowed, âHave you gone insane?! Why donât you rob a bank instead?!â
Shi Fengâs offer even frightened South Wolf.
A 100 fold increaseâŚ. Even if Zero Wing had grownâŚ.
