Chapter 603: Expected and Unexpected! (1/2)

At the same time, the three started laughing like fools.

“Sit, let’s sit!” Bai Xiaofei pulled Feng Wuhen and Lu Lingyun to sit, excitement written all over his face.

During the past few months, he had gradually escaped the shadow of the grand celebration. Therefore, he overlooked Feng Wuhen’s and Lu Lingyun’s feelings as he was too happy about their return. Fortunately, the two men weren’t the kind to let it bother them and quickly adjusted.

“There are too many things I want to say, I don’t know where to start.” Bai Xiaofei shyly rubbed his own head.

Hearing this, Feng Wuhen and Lu Lingyun exchanged a smile.

“Let’s start with Illusion Demon,” Feng eased Bai Xiaofei’s embarrassed state by finding a topic for him, then looked at Lu Lingyun. “Since you didn’t come back last time, I’ll leave the talking to you.”

With the ball being kicked to Lu Lingyun, Bai Xiaofei’s eyes shifted to him. Whatever he was going to say would be extremely valuable information for him.

“Alright then, allow me,” Lu Lingyun agreed with a smile and quickly organized his speech. “At present, we have acquired 24 small merchant groups distributed in and around the Violethorn Empire. The trainees we recruited for internship have been a great help. All of our businesses are basically on the right track. However, there is still a long way to go before integration. In terms of progress, we can only be regarded as having a successful launch.”

Lu Lingyun briefed the situation in a light tone, but only he and Feng Wuhen knew how much effort they had made during this period. Summing it up in four words, it had been difficult!

However, he had no intention to bring it up as it was meaningless. They didn’t need it to claim credit from Bai Xiaofei.

“But recently, we have encountered a very critical opportunity, after which we are confident that Illusion Demon will be able to rank at least among the upper-middle level!” said Lu Lingyun with confidence.

Bai Xiaofei’s eyes lit up. Lu Lingyun never talked big. If he dared to say so, it meant that they were that completely sure of success. But Bai Xiaofei didn’t know what this opportunity was.

“What opportunity?” he gulped and asked.

“The fall of the Globe Merchant Group!”

Those few words stunned Bai Xiaofei a little, but he wasn’t surprised.

The grand celebration had brought a crisis upon both Starnet and the Globe Merchant Group. But while Starnet survived after a series of activities, the Globe Merchant Group didn’t fare so well. After all, Ling Tianxia violated taboos and enraged a good number of forces!

Bai Xiaofei frowned. He refused to believe that Ling Tianxia would fail to come up with this solution. Moreover, Ling Tianxia cared deeply about the Globe Merchant Group. He wouldn’t just watch it collapse.
