Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer - Chapter 689

Chapter 689: Flame Bird Chapter 689: Flame Bird Flame Bird was the representative for most of Phoenix Guild’s business.  Therefore, Dusk Sky was able to recognize her from the beginning.  As for Shadow Blade, it took a while but after careful consideration and the people that could possibly accompany Flame Bird, it made sense that it had to be a representative from the Vanguard Guild.

After all, Flame Bird was somewhat of a naughty female who would never accompany any people lesser than her.

It wasn’t that she would blatantly look down on them, but that she had no interest in people without any strength or influence.  Not to mention, that flashy gun of Shadow Blade was hard to miss.  “Heh, I love it when there’s at least one sensible grandson who recognizes their grandfather.” Zhao Kai snickered coldly and stared at the rest.  He then pointed at them and said, “You, you, you, and you are all a bunch of ungrateful grandsons.

How dare you shout at your grandfather!

Do you need me to bring out the feather dust and whip you fools?”  SLAM!

Instantly, Blue Door was infuriated by Zhao Kai’s provocation and wanted to make a move.

“Enough, Blue Door.” Dusk Sky remained quite calm and ordered Blue Door to stop.

Being a guild leader, even if it was not on a major scale and only controlled a branch, Dusk Sky still knew how to act properly.

‘This Shadow Blade really didn’t mince his words and managed to ruin my subordinate’s metals with just a few words.

What a talent.’ Dusk Sky was not a fool to believe he came all the way here to pour salt in his wounds.

Since there were two representatives, it meant that there was still a chance to salvage this crisis.  Thus, to suffer a few insults here and there wouldn’t be much.

In fact, Dusk Sky would gladly call himself grandson if this could completely resolve the matter.

Shortly after his subordinates took their seat and sheathed their weapons, Dusk Sky asked, “May I know what the two representatives came here for?”  His tone wasn’t overly polite, but also wasn’t rude either.

It was at the perfect balance of neutrality.

In response, Zhao Kai confidently strode forward and pointed at Blue Door.  “Get up and let your grandfather take a seat.

How rude can you be?” He demanded.

Annoyed, Blue Door clenched his fist and moved to the side.  Shortly after Zhao Kai took his seat, he glanced at Dusk Sky with a cool composure.  “I won’t beat around the bush with you, Guild Leader Dusk Sky.

So long as you agree to give up the land deeds in your hand to Phoenix Guild, then this matter will be over.

Otherwise, prepare to lose more than just land.” Zhao Kai declared.  As if he had already anticipated such a demand, Dusk Sky didn’t lose his composure.  Instead, he turned his attention to Flame Bird.

“Is this what your Phoenix Guild amounts to now?

Latching on a big thigh to spoon-feed you?”  Flame Bird shrugged her shoulders in response.

“What’s wrong with having a big thigh to latch onto?

Aren’t you just being salty and jealous that we got Vanguard Guild backing us up?”  “…” It hurt to even admit that Dusk Sky was indeed jealous of Phoenix Guild’s situation.  ‘Curse the MIST Guild!

What monster waves along with numerical people to besiege Star Falls City was a guaranteed victory?’ Dusk Sky wanted nothing more than to strangle MIST for their erroneous miscalculation.  Taking a deep breath, Dusk Sky responded, “We have 2 land deeds in hand, and in combined value, they are worth around 500 gold coins.

To demand that we hand it over is impossible.”  In other words, Dusk Sky meant that the compensation fee was too high to be accomplished.

If they were forced to compensate over 500 gold coins, then they might as well duke it out.

Meanwhile, Zhao Kai yawned in boredom.

It was clear that he knew Dusk Sky would be resolute in holding onto the land deeds.

‘Ugh, why must I get slapped with this boring task?’ Zhao Kai frowned and decided to let Flame Bird take over the rest of the conversation.

His job was done and that was to provoke Dusk Sky into initiating an attack first.

However, based on the situation, it appeared that Dusk Sky realized his intention.  Had Dusk Sky initiated an attack first after some verbal exchange, then they would have more reason to go further and beyond.

Unfortunately, Dusk Sky was clever enough to know to take a step back and stay humble.  “Dusk Sky, I’ll be honest with you.

Would you rather safeguard that measly 2 lands worth around 500 gold coins, or would you prefer to be completely eliminated in your run?” Flame Bird asked coolly.

“Is that supposed to be a threat?” Dusk Sky narrowed his eyes.

He remained composed on the surface, but inwardly, he was stuck in an extreme dilemma.

After all, Flame Bird had struck the nail precisely.

The internal competition within Riverbane was high, and without a doubt, he would be demoted.

To manage so terribly and become an enemy of the Vanguard Guild was enough reason.

Maybe it wouldn’t have affected much if the Vanguard Guild didn’t have someone so perverted, but because that legit happened.

It was essentially over if he lost more than just 500 gold coins of resources.  “I see you pondering a lot, but I’m sure you know the wise decision is to hand over the land deeds, right?” Flame Bird said.  Unable to rebuke her claim, Dusk Sky asked, “If I hand them over, will you promise not to prosecute us and let us continue to develop in Red Forest City?”  Toward this question, Flame Bird didn’t reply right away.  Instead, she pointed at Zhao Kai and explained, “We are only in this advantageous position because of the Vanguard Guild.

If they don’t wish to pursue the matter, then our Phoenix Guild won’t proceed any further.”  That was the truth.

Phoenix Guild and Riverbane were technically on the same balance, but that balance had been shaken because of the Vanguard Guild.  Thus, all eyes were now turned to Zhao Kai, who had been nonchalantly eating the food that Riverbane ordered.  “What?

I’m not paying for it.” Zhao Kai pulled the food closer to him and declared, unintentionally revealing that he wasn’t even focused on their conversation.
