Chapter 75 – We should apologize to the mysterious organization
Qin Yu wrapped himself in a black robe and walked over slowly.
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that you can sell the Xuantian Tokens to me!"
Zhao Liming walked up to Qin Yu with displeasure and said, "Brother, don't you understand the concept of first come, first served?"
Qin Yu chuckled, "It's business. Whoever they want to sell to, they can sell to!"
"Since the 'Rich Avengers Alliance' doesn't want to sell to you, why bother pestering them?"
Zhao Liming snorted coldly, "Do you think they would sell to you? I've heard their initial reason for forming the alliance was to oppose your organization."
Qin Yu, hands in his pockets, looked at Tall Senior Brother and said, "There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Tall Leader, who do you want to sell the tokens to?"
Both Zhao Liming and Qin Yu focused their gaze on Tall Senior Brother.
Tall Senior Brother felt immense pressure.
The mysterious organization and Zhao Liming's alliance weren't exactly friendly.
The Rich Avengers Alliance was formed to counter the mysterious organization.
You could say the mysterious organization was their imagined enemy.
They despised the mysterious organization's use of the Dream Illusion Hound to collect Xuantian Tokens, seeing it as an unfair tactic.
If the mysterious organization was their covert enemy, Zhao Liming was their overt rival.
As the saying goes, peers are rivals.
When members of the Rich Avengers Alliance went to purchase tokens, they often encountered Zhao Liming as a competitor.
After a price war, they were defeated with resentment.
So, the members of the Rich Avengers Alliance harbored some resentment towards Zhao Liming.
Having money makes you great, huh!
So, when both parties wanted to buy their Xuantian Tokens, Tall Senior Brother found himself in a dilemma!
At this moment, someone spoke up, "I have something to say."
Tall Senior Brother quickly looked over.
‘Since I can't make up my mind, I might as well hear what everyone thinks.’
A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.
"Speak!" Tall Senior Brother urged.
The person seriously addressed Qin Yu, "Just to clarify, this is our Vice Leader, not the Leader!"
Tall Senior Brother: "......"
Qin Yu: "......"
"Since you're undecided, and you're the Vice Leader, why not ask your Leader what they think?" Qin Yu suggested.
Zhao Liming also nodded, "Why not ask your Leader?"
"Alright!" Tall Senior Brother nodded, "I'll ask the Leader later. Tomorrow is the last day of the event. Let's meet here at the same time tomorrow to discuss further, shall we?"
"See you then!"
Qin Yu wrapped his black robe tighter and turned to leave!
He rushed back to the Cave Abode, entered the wooden house, and quickly hid the black robe after taking it off.
Just as he took a sip of water, Tall Senior Brother's voice came from outside.
"Is the Leader here?"
Qin Yu ruffled his clothes to make it look like he'd been in seclusion for a long time.
Then, he leisurely opened the wooden door and deactivated the formation to let Tall Senior Brother in.
"Vice Leader Gao, is there something you need?" Qin Yu asked curiously.
"Indeed, there's something I need the Leader's help to decide."
"Alright, go ahead!"
Tall Senior Brother detailed the recent events and the dilemma they faced to Qin Yu.
After listening, Qin Yu pondered for a moment before slowly saying:
"Actually, neither the mysterious organization nor Zhao Liming is wrong."
"The sect didn't intervene when the mysterious organization used the Dream Illusion Hound to collect tokens, indicating it's legal and compliant."
"Moreover, the Dream Illusion Hound is a sect-protecting Divine Beast, a shared resource for everyone. If they can use it, it's their skill. If we can't, it means we're not skilled enough."
Tall Senior Brother wanted to argue but found himself unable to refute.
He could only nod in agreement.
He felt these words were familiar, as if he'd heard them somewhere before.
Tall Senior Brother thought carefully and suddenly seemed to realize something.
"Leader, your words sound just like what the black-robed person who sold tokens to the mysterious organization said a few days ago!"
"Could it be..." Tall Senior Brother squinted his eyes, looking at Qin Yu with suspicion.
Qin Yu's expression froze, cold sweat forming on his back, his heart in a panic.
‘Oh no, I was careless!’
"Could it be... the Leader was also present when the black-robed person sold the tokens?"
Qin Yu: "......"
"Ah... yes, yes, I was there at the time."
Seeing Tall Senior Brother's expression of 'I've figured it out, you can't hide it from me,' Qin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I went out for a walk and happened to witness the scene. I thought the black-robed person made some valid points."
Tall Senior Brother asked, "Then the Leader should also know about our alliance pooling resources to buy ten tokens?"
Qin Yu nodded, "I'm aware. Your decision was very wise. Even if it costs 2,500 Contribution Points for ten Xuantian Tokens, it's still a great deal."
"If there's another opportunity like this, we must seize it without hesitation!"
Receiving Qin Yu's approval, Tall Senior Brother was very pleased.
Qin Yu continued, "As for Zhao Liming, he's competing with us fairly, without any tricks. He's not in the wrong either."
Tall Senior Brother nodded, "Then, Leader, who should we sell our five tokens to?"
Qin Yu decisively said, "Of course, to the mysterious organization. Is there even a question?"
"Huh? Why?"
Tall Senior Brother was baffled by Qin Yu's answer.
‘Didn't you say neither side was wrong? Why suddenly choose the mysterious organization?’
In fact, Tall Senior Brother was more inclined to do business with Zhao Liming.
He always felt the mysterious organization was up to no good. Their leader never dared to show their face, and those they sent out covered themselves with black robes, as if they couldn't see the light of day.
Qin Yu said to Tall Senior Brother, "There are two reasons why I suggest you trade with the mysterious organization."
"First, we owe them!"
Tall Senior Brother: "???"
"We owe them? What did we do to owe them?"
Tall Senior Brother asked, completely confused, feeling he couldn't keep up with Qin Yu's train of thought.
Qin Yu explained, "Do you remember why we formed the 'Rich Avengers Alliance' in the first place?"
"Because we suspected the mysterious organization of cheating, using unfair means to obtain Xuantian Tokens."
"But in reality?"
"They were fair and just, abiding by the rules."
"We misunderstood them. Don't you feel any guilt? Shouldn't we apologize to the mysterious organization?"
Tall Senior Brother nodded in a daze, "It does seem to make sense."
"So, I think to express our apology, we should proactively lower the price by 20, selling to the mysterious organization at 180 Contribution Points each."
"What do you think?"
Tall Senior Brother: "I... huh?"
