Chapter 1664 1664: All of You Present Are Useless

Seeing that Sanguine Thousand Miles had nothing to say, Sanguine Stormbringer continued, "Since there's no benefit, why should we offend the Quan Zhen Sect?"

Sanguine Stormbringer had always maintained a peaceful approach towards the Quan Zhen Sect. It was he who originally advised Sanguine Warflag not to engage in a conflict with them, and it was because Sanguine Warflag heeded Stormbringer's advice that the Sanguine Alliance thrived in such a short time.

Now, Stormbringer's attitude towards the Quan Zhen Sect hadn't changed. The longer he interacted with them, the more he realized how powerful they were. Until there was a force strong enough to easily crush the Quan Zhen Sect, his stance wouldn't change in the slightest.

Although Sanguine Thousand Miles was an unexpected president, Stormbringer, being a wise person, understood the principle of "a new emperor brings new ministers" very well. Moreover, since Sanguine Thousand Miles was also the young master of the Sanguine Alliance, Stormbringer was unwilling to watch the situation deteriorate.

If Sanguine Thousand Miles had listened to him, Stormbringer would certainly have helped him just as he had helped Sanguine Warflag. But if Thousand Miles didn't take him seriously, then Stormbringer would be glad to be a spectator.

Clearly, Sanguine Thousand Miles was not the type to heed others' advice. Seeing Sanguine Stormbringer and Sanguine Warflag being so fussy, Thousand Miles felt a sense of irritation deep down.

"This isn't about benefits!"

After some thought, Sanguine Thousand Miles stated, "Twilight City will never allow a guild to exist that surpasses the Sanguine Alliance. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Given Thousand Miles's attitude, Sanguine Stormbringer could only shake his head helplessly and fell silent.

Stormbringer's silence made Sanguine Thousand Miles even more frustrated, pointing at Stormbringer and the others with an unhappy expression, shouting, "You're all veteran members of the Sanguine Alliance. Don't any of you want to say something?"

"Well…"

Sanguine Stormbringer replied helplessly, "We're not a guild like the ones that dominate the world. The brothers below haven't sold themselves to us. What can we do? If we push them too hard, we, the ones sitting here, will be the most direct victims. You're the boss; it's up to you whether to pressure the brothers, but we can't guarantee the outcome."

"You!!"

Upon hearing this, Sanguine Thousand Miles felt a surge of anger, but after contemplating, he realized that while Stormbringer's words were harsh, they were all based on reality.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

The reason the Sanguine Alliance has come this far is due to the collective efforts of its members. If the workers are provoked, the alliance's downfall is not far off.

However, Sanguine Thousand Miles was eager to establish his authority in front of his brothers and suppress the momentum of the Quan Zhen Sect. Yet, his subordinates were not cooperating; instead, they had an attitude of "If you provoke the Quan Zhen Sect, I'll withdraw from the guild", which would leave any guild leader feeling disheartened.

What the hell? Are they players of the Quan Zhen Sect or players of the Sanguine Alliance?

As the guild leader, it's certainly unacceptable to disregard the players' thoughts, but if he took their opinions into account now, Sanguine Thousand Miles found himself in a difficult position.

After all, he had already made grand statements, and if he backed down halfway, it would be embarrassing for him. How could he maintain his status in the guild if he couldn't even handle his first major issue? It would only make him a laughingstock.

Sanguine Thousand Miles was someone who valued his reputation; he certainly wouldn't allow such a thing to happen to himself.

For a moment, Sanguine Thousand Miles found himself in a dilemma.

"Boss, I have an idea."

Just when Sanguine Thousand Miles didn't know what to do, a girl standing next to him suddenly spoke up.

The girl was dressed in a blue robe, with combat bandages wrapped around her hands. Her profession was a rare Qi Master in the game, and her appearance was not to be mentioned; there were no unattractive female players in the game. Above her head was her ID—Dripping Wetstone.

"Water Droplet, what's your idea?" Sanguine Thousand Miles asked, somewhat surprised.

"Very simple!" Dripping Wetstone replied, "Since everyone is unwilling to provoke the Quan Zhen Sect, let's just not tell them."

"Not tell them?" Sanguine Thousand Miles frowned at the suggestion. "Miss, do you know who the Quan Zhen Sect is? They are the champions of the professional league. How can we deal with them with just us?"

It must be said that while Sanguine Thousand Miles was somewhat reckless, he was still quite cautious. After all, reputation matters; even if he was arrogant, he wouldn't underestimate the Quan Zhen Sect. At the very least, he didn't feel confident about provoking them with just a few people.

"Professional league champions?"

To his surprise, upon hearing his words, Dripping Wetstone and the others didn't feel pressured at all; instead, disdain appeared on their faces.

Especially the black-clad fat man in the corner, named Dashing Mountain, who burst out laughing, saying, "Just that!"

"Fatty is right!"

The assassin Ghost Dance with the dry vine, who had directly confronted the Quan Zhen people, chimed in, "If that NPC hadn't caused trouble in the tavern earlier, I would have killed that ugly guy already. And they call themselves a professional league champion team? Our domestic professional teams are really pathetic."

"Ghost Dance, you're wrong!" Hearing Ghost Dance with the dry vine's words, Radiant Shiner, who was nearby, shamelessly replied, "It's not that the professional teams are too weak; it's that we are too strong!"

"Exactly!" The others followed suit, shamelessly praising themselves: "We're just too strong!"

"What the hell!"

Watching these people, who were clearly overpowered, bragging about how strong they were, Sanguine Stormbringer and the others were almost disgusted enough to vomit. Seriously, a group of "scientists" boasting about their strength—do they have no shame?

The blunt Sanguine Asura couldn't help but say, "Don't underestimate the Quan Zhen Sect; they are really powerful."

"Powerful?" Radiant Shiner scoffed, "That's for you! The upper beam is crooked, and the lower beam is also crooked. It's because of core leaders like you waste that the Sanguine Alliance is so useless!"

"Are you calling me a waste??"

Sanguine Asura, who had a fiery temper, was provoked by Radiant Shiner and stood up angrily.

"No, no, no!" Radiant Shiner waved his hand, pointing at Sanguine Asura and Sanguine Stormbringer and the others, "I'm saying all of you are useless!"

"Damn it… I won't argue with a loser!"

When someone is called useless, it's naturally irritating, and Sanguine Stormbringer and the others felt the same. However, considering that Radiant Shiner was Sanguine Thousand Miles's subordinate and also a top player, they ultimately suppressed their urge to fight back.
