189 Opposition (2/2)
Although both were middle-grade guilds, the Magithieves were having a hard time recruiting people. The most complicated part of the job was establishing a management team. It required tests of ability and loyalty, both of which took up a lot of time. Therefore, they had only managed to double the member count to forty thousand after almost half a month.
There was no way they could directly purchase a few offices and gaming centers, like what Han Tianyu did. He had established the management framework in such a way that the loyalty of his regular members could be guaranteed. After all, none of them had access to the guild's secrets and dealings. As long as the members were well-paid, their loyalty was unquestionable.
As Han Tianyu stepped in, the already chaotic situation in Dawnlight City worsened even further. The four big guilds were now gathered around the room. The previously quiet neighborhood now saw more life than ever.
With the four big guilds occupied, the medium-sized and smaller guilds jumped on the opportunity. The four major guilds had initially seized control of the densely-populated areas. The mid-size and smaller guilds had initially been forced to pick the scraps.
Now, the tables had been turned. With the four big guilds involved in an intense standoff, monsters were spawning unattended.
”Oh, goodness. Not bad, not bad at all. I have not even made a move against you. Are you on a suicide mission?” Han Tianyu walked nonchalantly to the front of the group.
”You… I will not speak to you. Where is Happy Drunk? Come on out!” Lady Casanova glanced at Han Tianyu, her brow furrowed. Lady Casanova was already a ruthless person. But the tycoon before her easily made her look as docile as a house cat.
Moreover, Lady Casanova's ruthlessness was completely dependent on her capabilities in the game. She had always been victorious against greater numbers when coupled with Billy Boy's sharp tactics.
Han Tianyu's ruthlessness came in an entirely different form. If her ruthlessness was akin to smacking people with regular bricks, then the tycoon's ruthlessness was equivalent to smacking people with golden bricks!
Ten days ago, Han Tianyu had just only taken over The Aristocrats. He had immediately started building the guild's base at a rapid rate. Lady Casanova had coerced a few small guilds into harassing The Aristocrats. Her plan had ended up completely backfiring. Although Billy Boy's plans were seamless and certainly did bring some trouble to The Aristocrats, the small guilds were all quickly bought over by Han Tianyu's alluring wealth.
When Lady Casanova saw Han Tianyu stepping up, she knew there was no way anything good would come out of this. If the sly fellow made a move, she might even risk losing the alliance of the three big guilds. They would probably be bought over by him, and that would be the end of the story. By then, she would have run out of tears to cry. Although Lady Casanova was confident in her own powers to resist the temptation of money, the other two guilds may not be as strong. To prevent that scenario from happening, Lady Casanova intended to avoid speaking with Han Tianyu altogether.
”Tycoon, she is underestimating you. What should we do? Will you use your ultimate skill to kill her?”
Not only did Happy Drunk not step out when Lady Casanova called for him, he even fanned the flames by trying to incite Han Tianyu. Naturally, Happy Drunk was not happy about being treated as a second fiddle to anyone else.
