Chapter 603: Expected and Unexpected! (2/2)
“I don’t know. After the incident, he has never shown up again. The Globe Merchant Group escaped the initial storm by turtling itself, but it was unable to withstand the joint condemnation of several major forces in the end,” explained Lu Lingyun.
“First, its branches collapsed one by one under the suppression of the major businesses and organizations, and then all of the empires issued orders for its expulsion. The behemoth became history overnight and its executives took the property and ran away. The continent all watched the Globe Merchant Group become a thing of the past,” Feng Wuhen added and shook his head.
Everyone thought that Ling Tianxia would do something, but he did nothing, so many people were caught off guard and missed the first good opportunity to net benefits out of it.
“After the fall of the Globe Merchant Group, a huge market space is now empty and all major merchant groups have come in to take a slice of this big cake. Since we happened to be on the rise and had enough funds on hand, we secured places in many important cities of the Violethorn Empire. We have already bought out the officials, there is only one last step – to settle in. After we do, our business in Violethorn will weave a tight network for us, and then we will have the spare capacity to develop more paths,” exclaimed Lu Lingyun eagerly.
This was too important for Illusion Demon. There were only so many business opportunities, no one would be able to get in if the Globe Merchant Group didn’t make space. After this, the growing process of Illusion Demon should be shortened by at least ten years!
“However, there’s something very strange,” Feng Wuhen suddenly said solemnly as Bai Xiaofei’s excitement was at its peak.
“What is it?” Bai Xiaofei creased his brows and his heart tensed.
“In the face of something like the fall of a major merchant group, everyone normally will be presented with equal opportunities. However, Unify Business seemed to have anticipated that Ling Tianxia wouldn’t show up. After the executives of the Globe Merchant Group ran away, they immediately took over its main stores in the empires and emerged as the biggest beneficiary. Something is very off about this, but I don’t know where the problem lies. Still, I think it must be related to the incident with Starnet, so I want to know if you have found anything,” Feng Wuhen said and quietly looked at Bai Xiaofei.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Xiaofei’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“I would have forgotten if you didn’t mention it. Talking about being suspicious, there is really something!”
Bai Xiaofei grew serious and his eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.
“In the batch of new students admitted before the celebration, a person named Wu Xizhao claimed to be the young master of Unify Business, but he then attacked our people as a Shadow Death assassin. He was later killed in a battle.”
“Our academy originally wanted to talk to Unify Business, but unexpectedly after the incident ended, Unify Business took the initiative to come to our doorsteps and demanded justice for their young master.”
“In the end, after a series of verifications, both sides came to the conclusion that Wu Xizhao had been switched before entering Starnet, and this matter was cut off just like that.”
Hearing this, Feng Wuhen and Lu Lingyun were lost in thought.
After a long time, Feng Wuhen raised his head and his face was heavy.
