Chapter 343: Not a Single Gold Coin Left

~7 min read 1,300 words

Du Xue, wearing a silk nightgown, walked in, her beautiful face still looking at her "husband" with a cold expression.

"You want to wake Xiao Jia?" Du Xue said calmly.

Wei Cheng's movements froze.

Xiao Jia is their son; less than three years after his birth, the couple had already been sleeping in separate rooms.

Each pursued his own interests; as long as Wei Cheng didn't bring his things home, Du Xue understood and turned a blind eye.

For a conglomerate heir, this was perfectly normal.

However, being a generation apart, the old master of the Wei Family Conglomerate paid little mind to the couple's affairs, but treated Xiao Jia as his beloved.

Du Xue noticed that Wei Cheng had gone offline in the game, so she came down to check; she had already arrived at the doorway.

Listening to Wei Cheng's smashing inside, Du Xue waited until it calmed down before walking in.

"So you're already knocked down?" Du Xue looked down from above at the crumpled Wei Cheng on the floor, her usually cold gaze uncharacteristically tinged with contempt.

Seeing his "wife's" cold stare and contempt, combined with her delicate beauty, Wei Cheng felt an unnamed fury rise within him.

"What's with your aloofness? Your former lover is back; are you happy?"

"But you're already my wife!" Wei Cheng scrambled up, roughly pulling Du Xue toward him.

Du Xue frowned and struggled free.

"If you want to vent your anger, go find your Xiao Qian, Xiao Qing…"

She took a step back, looking at Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng's expression hardened: "You are my wife!"

"When Xiao Jia wakes up, you'll have to soothe him yourself…"

Having said that, Du Xue turned and left.

Wei Cheng's face stiffened; although Xiao Jia was his son, he was not close to him, but was close to his own old master through his mother Du Xue.

If Xiao Jia nagged him in front of his own old master, he would also get scolded.

"Big heir of the Wei Family Conglomerate, don't make me look down on you… don't forget, the old master has more than one son."

Du Xue's voice came from outside.

Wei Cheng took a deep breath, calmed down… a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

…

…

Why did the Yan Huang people arrive?

Seeing the Yan Huang Assassin Team, the Twelve-winged Angel's expression turned sour.

Then, seeing Shen Yang's silky instant kill of Wei Cheng, the Twelve-winged Angel subconsciously glanced behind himself.

But behind him were Dawnbreak's Core Members, which let him breathe a sigh of relief.

The name of the Old Assassin Alliance, coming from the myriad heroes, who isn't wary?

"Snatch…"

The Twelve-winged Angel had originally said he wanted to snatch the loot, but the moment the words left his mouth, he froze.

Loot?

What loot? Is there any loot left in the arena?

Not only the red ones, the orange ones are gone.

All three purple ones have vanished.

Damn!

How many members did the Yan Huang Assassin Team bring?

Everyone's gaze was drawn to the red light and the instantly slain Qiancheng Gongzi, so no one noticed when the other loot disappeared.

Then…

The assassins in the arena vanished all at once… Strong Conceal.

"Archer!"

"Detection Arrow!"

But it was already too late.

The Yan Huang Assassin Team had long since left that spot.

The Detection Arrow only revealed a few of Qiancheng Muxue's remaining assassins; there were no Yan Huang people at all.

"Yan Huang!"

The Twelve-winged Angel gritted his teeth.

He had always thought that Dawnbreak was the last yellow finch.

He didn't expect to have his fruit plucked by Yan Huang.

"Chairman…"

The Judgment Angel looked at the Twelve-winged Angel: "Now is not the time to quarrel with Yan Huang."

"Just now there was a red flash…"

Hearing the Judgment Angel's reminder, the Twelve-winged Angel's expression froze, then he recovered.

Red flash!

Legendary‑grade item or equipment!

The Alliance‑Founding Decree is the red one!

It could be…

Alliance Order!

That is their true purpose this time.

If it really is an Alliance Order, Yan Huang currently has no use for it!

In other words, if it is an Alliance Order, they can purchase it from Yan Huang.

Although they have some conflict with Yan Huang, there are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies…

Only eternal interests!

Then…

The Twelve-winged Angel looked at the Judgment Angel with an embarrassed expression.

"What's wrong, Chairman?"

The Judgment Angel gazed doubtfully at their own Chairman's constipated expression.

"I…"

"I don't have Mo Wen Qianchen as a friend…"

"?!?"

The Judgment Angel looked speechless.

Alright…

He now knows why.

It's just a slight conflict, yet the Chairman actually didn't add Mo Wen Qianchen as a friend, which is indeed…

Moreover, their conflict itself stems from the Cauldron Seizure Battle; originally, both sides were in a competitive relationship, and under such circumstances it hardly counts as a conflict.

Back when they were among the top ten guilds, although the two sides competed fiercely, to the death, the upper echelons still maintained contact.

The present Yan Huang has clearly reached that level.

"Cough cough, I'm now adding…"

The Twelve-winged Angel laughed embarrassedly, then opened the friend list, searched for Mo Wen Qianchen, and added as a friend.

Only he himself knew that he had already added them during the Cauldron Seizure Battle earlier, just... cough cough..

But it's quite obvious…

At this moment, Su Sheng had no time to reply, and with notifications blocked, heaven knows when he'll see it.

The Twelve-winged Angel lifted his head, looking utterly innocent…

"Let's contact others; I bet they've added Mo Wen Qianchen as a friend." The Judgment Angel slapped his forehead.

This is also helpless.

The Chairman of Dawn contacting Yan Huang's Mo Wen Qianchen out of the blue will surely raise suspicions.

If it truly is an Alliance Order, then likely more than just Dawn and War to Stop War will be competing.

As for Qiancheng Muxue? No need to consider; Yan Huang and Qiancheng Muxue are mortal enemies.

If it really is an Alliance Order, even if Qiancheng Muxue offers a sky‑high price, Yan Huang would never sell to them.

As far as we know now, only three guilds are aware of this situation.

"But Yan Huang suddenly appearing here—I always feel something's off."

The Twelve-winged Angel saw Zhi Ge Wei Wu's smug expression, showing no sign of having been peached at all.

"Chairman Zhi Ge Wei Wu… aren't you being a bit underhanded?" The Twelve-winged Angel narrowed his eyes at Zhi Ge Wei Wu.

"It's all about means." Zhi Ge Wei Wu replied with a laugh, obviously having already tacitly accepted some things.

By now, the boss has been defeated, and the loot has been taken.

On the ground, not even the items dropped by the boss remain—let alone equipment; at this point not a single gold coin is left.

Originally, besides equipment, it dropped a lot of gold coins.

(Yan Huang Assassin Team: one gold coin is worth 90 dollars; otherwise it would look unprofessional of me.)

At this point, naturally there is no reason for any side to continue fighting.

Of course, Qiancheng Muxue's side has no one left.

Originally, there were still nearly a hundred members of Qiancheng Muxue.

Some players of the Yan Huang Assassin Team, unable to bear seeing them lonely and helpless, freely sent them back to town.

The crowd drawn by the loot also paid no attention to this little side incident.

Although he appeared smug on the surface, Zhi Ge Wei Wu was also contacting Chen Guan.

He cared about nothing else, just fixated on whether that red item was an Alliance Order.

Meanwhile, Chen Guan had not replied to Zhi Ge Wei Wu, naturally he was contacting Su Sheng…
