MMORPG: Crowd Control

Chapter 163 Storm Brewing

Lei Zhen held a dazed look when Tang Qiaolian announced something that was supposed to be exciting.

Since he had never bothered to compete with others regarding first-clear achievement, he didn't know the true value of doing so.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "Congratulations?" Lei Zhen said awkwardly.

Tang Qiaolian clicked her tongue when she had expected this kind of reaction from him.

"Your congratulations are seriously fake and insincere, Lei Zhen." She called him out for his insincerity.

Hearing that, Lei Zhen coughed slightly before flashing a solemn expression.

"Qiaolian, congratulations. I'm proud of you and what you have done." He said in a serious tone.

Instead of feeling joyful, Tang Qiaolian revealed a disgusted look as she made a vomiting action.

"Please never ever do that again. I'll take the first congrats." She said, resigning to her fate.

Scratching his head, Lei Zhen was confused as to what he did wrong. He was sincerely congratulating her with his utmost serious look.

How was that not enough to satisfy her?

"Anyway, did you simply video call me to announce your success in getting the first clear?" Lei Zhen asked.

"Mhmm, it was over a month's work so I wanted to tell you and ask if you wanted to go out for dinner as a celebration. There's someone that has been constantly bugging me to arrange a proper meeting with you." Tang Qiaolian responded.

"Someone wants to meet me?"

"Yes, and you can rest assured. It's not the type of people that you don't want to meet."

"And how exactly do you know who I want or who I don't want to meet?"

Tang Qiaolian shrugged her shoulders in response. "Never question a woman's intuition and their guesses, Lei Zhen. You got that?"

"Where do you want to have dinner then?" Lei Zhen resigned and enquired about the place and time for the supposed dinner.

He knew Tang Qiaolian well enough that if she went out of her way to video call him, then it means he can only answer yes.

However, Lei Zhen suddenly recalled that she was working as a nurse, so how was she able to play Magnolia for a month consecutively.

"Qiaolian, what happened to your job as a nurse?" Lei Zhen asked, seemingly curious as to how she was faring.

"Oh, I can just work there when you are going to visit your sister. I'm a special kind of nurse, Lei Zhen." She gave a vague response.

And although Lei Zhen wanted to pry for more, he knew it would be pointless to do so. It was clear that she was trying to hide something and wouldn't give him a clear answer either way.

Thus, he nodded his head and received the time and place for the dinner.

It was going to be held at Guangzhou Plaza, a place that is fairly high-class for the wealthy.

'Guangzhou Plaza huh. I haven't been there for 10 years since then.' Lei Zhen smiled bitterly.

There were good and bad memories regarding that place, but since he had agreed to her arrangement already. He could only reluctantly go there at the designated time which was two days from now.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

After all, Tang Qiaolian said she needed to reorganize her guild and reward the guild members properly before anything else.

Aries Guild Headquarters

SLAM!

"Are you kidding me?!" A feminine voice could be heard shouting across the room.

This female was Cecile, the vice leader of the Aries Guild.

And currently, she held a sour mood as she glared at every single member that was seated at the meeting room table.

"Can someone explain to me how the Miracle Wing guild was able to snatch the first-clear achievement of the Hell's Domain?" Cecile asked angrily.

"The Aries Guild name is completely tarnished now and we have no more dignity. How can we answer to the shareholders and the public?" She added.

Seeing that every member in the room was silent and had their head lowered, Cecile knew her shouting was pointless.

She was merely venting her anger and frustration since it was too suffocating.

A guild that's not even part of the top 100 guilds was able to snatch the first clear achievement from them, which was the 12 Zodiac Guild is a humiliation.

Their reputation definitely took a major hit and it would soon be all over the media. And at that time, the shareholders that invested in their guild would begin to question their ability.

"I doubt the shareholders would be furious, Vice Leader." Carlos suddenly said.

"The Miracle Wing was backed by the Cancer Guild whose financial and power is slightly superior to ours. In other words, we merely lost to another Zodiac Guild and not Miracle Wing." He added.

Cecile rubbed her temples as she snorted coldly.

"Of course, I know that, but do you think the shareholders would accept such an explanation? They would only berate us further for being inferior to the Cancer Guild. If that happens, then we can all just say goodbye to the comfortable lives that you are living in because we're going to get ousted!"

She then stood up and made a final glare at the members before leaving the room.

In her mind, there was only a single word to describe her guild members: useless.

Absolutely fucking useless to the point that even feeding a stray cat would be better.

'Just how did that Tang Qiaolian rope in a big shot like the Cancer Guild to cooperate with her?' Cecile wondered silently. She kept thinking over and over, but no matter what she came up with, it simply doesn't make sense.

The Cancer Guild's manpower alone was enough to conquer the Hell's Domain by themselves. There was simply no point in allying with the Miracle Wing.

"There has to be a factor involved that made the Cancer Guild ally with Miracle Wing." Cecile rubbed her chin.

While she was thinking, Cecile suddenly received a message from a spy that Tang Qiaolian was going to head to Guangzhou Plaza for a celebration.

'Is she celebrating with the so-called factor?' Cecile smirked coldly when she received the message.

A storm was brewing as she vowed to figure out why the Cancer Guild which was known as a lone wolf, allied with a weak guild.
