Chapter 1655 1655: Already Prepared

"Stop pretending with me!"

Seeing the aggressive demeanor of Sanguine Thousand Miles, Sanguine Warflag retorted, "Then tell me, why does the Sanguine Alliance, with tens of thousands of members, not dare to provoke just over a dozen members of the Quan Zhen Sect? Why does our main city have to be an affiliated city of the Quan Zhen Sect? Why are both master-level blacksmiths in Twilight City working for the Quan Zhen Sect?"

"This..."

Under Sanguine Thousand Miles's relentless questioning, Sanguine Warflag was left speechless.

To be fair, Sanguine Warflag was just as frustrated about the situation as anyone, but what could be done? If the Quan Zhen Sect were a little easier to deal with, Sanguine Warflag wouldn't be in this predicament.

"What's the matter? Can't find your words?"

Sanguine Thousand Miles smugly continued, "Your little schemes might fool others, but they won't fool me. The reason that such a small guild like the Quan Zhen Sect has made it this far and even holds the position of city lord in Twilight City is that you've been protecting them at every turn. Surely those guys have given you plenty of benefits, right?"

It must be said that while Sanguine Thousand Miles wasn't particularly bright, he had plenty of malicious thoughts. His words struck a chord; if it weren't for Sanguine Warflag's long-term dealings with the Quan Zhen Sect, even the clever Sanguine Stormbringer would have been misled.

As for Sanguine Darkness, who lacked any insight, he looked at Sanguine Warflag in surprise and asked, "No way, boss, is what he said true?"

"Shut up!"

Sanguine Warflag was also a hot-tempered person. The Sanguine Alliance was built entirely by him, and no one had deeper feelings for it than he did. If it weren't for the development of the Sanguine Alliance, would he have to endure such humiliation from the Quan Zhen Sect?

With tens of thousands of subordinates, if it came to a hard fight, at worst, it would be a mutual destruction. There was no need to be laughed at like this.

But his own sacrifice and endurance were twisted into accusations of betraying the alliance. No matter how much Sanguine Warflag suppressed his anger, it was futile. He stood up, furiously pointing at Sanguine Thousand Miles and said, "I conduct my affairs openly and honestly, never engaging in any dirty work. Believe it or not, worst case, I'll step down as president!"

"Warflag, don't get angry!" Seeing Sanguine Warflag's anger, Sanguine Wanli quickly tried to calm him down. "He's just a kid, talking nonsense without understanding. I know you wouldn't do such things, after all, it wouldn't mean anything to you."

"You're a wise man!" After hearing Sanguine Wanli's words, Sanguine Warflag felt somewhat pacified.

But then Sanguine Wanli continued, "However, everyone is in this game to make money. With such a big piece of fat meat right in front of you, if you don't go for it, I certainly will."

"Boss, don't put me in a difficult position!"

After thinking for a moment, Sanguine Warflag said, "I've thought it through. There's no one managing over in Saga City. If you still trust me, I'll go there to manage the guild."

Everyone is in this world of Jianghu, who could be completely foolish? The meaning behind Sanguine Wanli's words was already very clear: he was giving Sanguine Warflag two choices.

Either eliminate the Quan Zhen Sect or hand over the guild to someone ambitious to run it.

Provoking the Quan Zhen Sect was no different from poking a hornet's nest. As long as Sanguine Warflag wasn't out of his mind, he wouldn't do something so dangerous.

Of course, they had known each other for many years, and many things required consideration of face. Sanguine Wanli had already given Sanguine Warflag plenty of face, and Sanguine Warflag naturally couldn't refuse.

It was better to volunteer than to be forcibly reassigned, as this way at least everyone could work together.

"Hahaha!"

Indeed, seeing Sanguine Warflag willingly hand over control of the Sanguine Alliance in Twilight City, Sanguine Wanli laughed heartily, raising his glass and saying, "Warflag, you truly are my right-hand man. No matter where you go, I feel at ease! Don't worry, even if you go to Saga City, you will still be the president of the Sanguine Alliance, and I'll give you a ten percent raise in salary. How about that?"

"Then thank you, boss!"

Sanguine Warflag secretly sneered, raising his glass to clink with Sanguine Wanli's.

What do you call a subtle demotion? This is it!

The foundation of the Sanguine Alliance was in Twilight City. Once Sanguine Warflag left, it would be equivalent to losing significant power, and he would be sidelined. What good would the title of president do him if he had no real authority?

Sanguine Wanli, this old fox, was indeed savvy in business, while Sanguine Warflag, as a mere game player, was far inferior in terms of scheming.

After downing a drink, Sanguine Wanli continued, "Since Warflag has volunteered to go to Saga City, starting tomorrow, Thousand Miles will take over the guild in Twilight City. Does anyone have any objections?"

"No... no."

The others quickly shook their heads.

Both Sanguine Stormbringer and Sanguine Anye were smart enough to know who could be offended and who couldn't. Although they were also uncomfortable with Sanguine Wanli's actions, it was too late to voice objections now; it might even affect them... In this world, self-preservation was the most critical.

As for Sanguine Darkness, this fool didn't even understand what was going on. Seeing everyone shaking their heads, he just followed suit.

"Not bad for the core members of the Sanguine Alliance!" Sanguine Wanli smiled broadly. "In the future, Thousand Miles will manage the guild in Twilight City, so please support him."

"Of course, of course!"

Sanguine Stormbringer and the others nodded again.

"Thousand Miles, do you have any plans? Share them with the elders", Sanguine Wanli then turned his attention to Sanguine Thousand Miles.

"Of course!" Sanguine Thousand Miles said confidently. "Firstly, my first step will be to poach those two blacksmiths from the Quan Zhen Sect. As long as they dare to resist, I'll make the players in Twilight City understand who truly holds power in the guild."

"Oh dear..."

Sanguine Warflag and the others felt a wave of embarrassment wash over them as Sanguine Thousand Miles spoke so passionately.

Like a toad yawning, what a big boast! He actually planned to take on the Quan Zhen Sect right off the bat; this kid truly didn't know the sky was high or the earth was deep.

Sanguine Warflag had already decided to go to Saga City and ignore matters on this side of Twilight City, but Sanguine Stormbringer still wanted to make a living there, so naturally, he couldn't stand by and watch Sanguine Thousand Miles lead the Sanguine Alliance to its doom.

However, Sanguine Stormbringer was the type who knew how to handle things. After quietly listening to Sanguine Warflag's plan, he then exclaimed in awe, "Young Master is indeed a man of great ambition."

"Of course! I'm not like some useless middle-aged men!" As he spoke, Sanguine Thousand Miles shot a glance at Sanguine Warflag.

Sanguine Warflag turned his face away, pretending not to see.

"But..."

Sanguine Stormbringer paused for a moment before continuing, "To speak the truth, the Quan Zhen Sect is indeed not easy to deal with. These guys just recently won the national competitive championship; their individual strength is formidable. If we rashly provoke them, it would be like a lion fighting a mosquito."

"I've heard about that!" Sanguine Thousand Miles waved his hand and said proudly, "That's why I'm already prepared."

As he spoke, Sanguine Thousand Miles casually took out a small box the size of a palm.
