Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer - Chapter 750
Chapter 750: Extravagant Price Chapter 750: Extravagant Price As Xu Feng nearly had a half step on the exit door, he halted his steps momentarily. “What else is there to discuss further, Guild Leader Gentle Wind?” Xu Feng turned around and asked respectfully. With the tone change and the formality used, he essentially declared that his mood had turned sour already.
He had given them a chance to reconsider their decision out of goodwill.
Yet not only did they fail to appreciate his generosity, but they also tried to smear dirt on his face and the guild’s status. ‘500 gold coins each to hire me?
Do I look like a beggar?’ Xu Feng sneered inwardly.
This was the first time he felt somewhat infuriated.
It was the equivalent of throwing trash by his doorsteps despite displaying their strength. His patience was running thin, especially when there were many valuable offers for him to choose from.
Even the Phoenix Guild was offering 2,500 gold coins by themselves to hire his guild to ensure their city’s survival. And that was only one guild in the Red Forest City.
Even the remaining guilds in Red Forest City wished to offer gold coins to hire them to help protect their city.
What made it surprising was that Riverbane offered a whopping 3,000 gold coins to request their assistance.
That was despite having to pay a large sum to them previously as compensation. Without a doubt, it was clear that Riverbane wished to extend and be closer to the Vanguard Guild.
That way, it wouldn’t have to fear the Phoenix Guild much.
It was a shrewd method, but a very effective one at that. Money talks after all, and not the person or affiliation. Since there was such a large piece of pie for the taking, Xu Feng would be a fool to not accept it.
Still, he delayed that matter and came to Dawnshire City out of respect for Gentle Wind being his first customer. Who would have thought his respect had involuntarily become a joke? A ridicule for these people to think he was cheap and easy to bully. Maybe if it was in the past, Xu Feng would have swallowed the situation inside and simply ignored it.
But now things are different. “Our offer was indeed inadequate.
Our Silver Wind Guild is willing to offer 1,500 gold coins.” Gentle Wind responded, her eyes quickly darted at Herald Fist, Dango Tiger, and Night Coin. It goes without saying that 1,500 gold coins were her limit, but the other remaining guild should also offer the same amount.
Unless they all wished to have their city fallen and nobody would win in the end. To summarize, the actual offering price wasn’t 1,500 gold coins, but rather 6,000 gold coins.
Compared to their city remaining safe and intact- 6,000 gold coins were truly a cheap price to pay.
Thus, almost immediately, Herald Fist stood up and agreed with Gentle Wind.
“I apologize to the Vanguard Guild Honorary Elder.
It was a wrong choice of word and I meant to offer 1,500 gold coins, not 500 gold coins.” Similarly, Dango Tiger laughed awkwardly and swiftly changed his words.
“Yes, I misheard Herald Fist earlier and meant 1,500 gold coins.” “My Silver Legion is more than ready to pay 1,500 gold coins for the Vanguard Guild too.
Who doesn’t know the current Vanguard Guild is the only guild that is guaranteed to survive the crisis?” Night Coin chimed in, not daring to be behind either.
Without a doubt, anyone who still insisted to lowball Xu Feng would end up being devoured by the remaining ones. Their guild was more or less similar to MIST in terms of strength.
Yet even MIST was ruthlessly beaten and thrashed in their own city. Nobody dared to underestimate their strength anymore.
However, they still failed to change their misconception that the Vanguard Guild was no longer a guild that accepted a low payment rate.
“6,000 gold coins in total.
I believe that’s an acceptable amount, right?” At this moment, Autumn Breeze finally chimed in.
Her gaze stared right at Zhao Kai, clearly signaling for him to agree. Previously, she didn’t attempt anything because the price wasn’t right. However, the offer was already at a generous amount now.
If Xu Feng still refused, then it wasn’t a matter of value.
Instead, it was a blatant daylight robbery. “Uh, what do you think, Honorary Elder?” Zhao Kai stepped closer to him and asked. “I think this is a generous amount.” He continued, stating his opinion. Just when the atmosphere was getting more tense, Xu Feng finally nodded his head. “Since the four major guilds in Dawnshire City had offered such a price, then it would be rude of me to reject it.” Xu Feng said and returned to his seat. “Great, then when can we expect the Vanguard Guild to send in their reinforcement?” Gentle Wind asked eagerly.

The news of the Vanguard Guild members earning the title “Defender Of City” had already spread all across.
This was the reason why so many people were eager to recruit the Vanguard Guild.
With that title, the chances of victory were heightened. After all, the title gave a 10 percent boost on all attributes.
10 percent might not seem much on the surface, but when combined and engaged in a prolonged battle, that 10 percent became prominent. “I’m afraid you’re mistaken, Gentle Wind.” Xu Feng chuckled softly. “It’s just going to be us two who will be stationed here.
The other members of our guild are commissioned and assigned to other struggling cities.” He explained. Ever since Gentle Wind had disappointed him with that low offering price, he made his decision already to spread the forces and agreed with those who offered a high price.
By now, Carmen and the rest should have received his messages already to teleport to the cities. Sure, Gentle Wind offered an extravagant price in the end, but it was a little bit too late. ‘Let this be a warning and message to those who still dared to look down at us.’ Xu Feng sneered inwardly.
