Chapter 404: A Sick Mother, a Gambling Father, and a Brother Who Goes to School!

After everyone met, the game time was just about right.

The group immediately took out their tents, the original underground line.

…

…

Su Sheng didn't go to work today either; after all, he's still within the staff, so taking a day off is natural.

On a day off, Su Sheng thought of gathering everyone together.

The Yanhuang Club has now been gradually receiving many people.

During this period, Huan Jie and Chen Guan have been continuously observing and selecting members of the Yanhuang Guild.

Those who performed well and had no doubts were invited via offline contracts to become members of the Yanhuang Club.

When the guild expands again, they will then differentiate Core Members, elite members, and peripheral members.

Those who can sign offline contracts and join the Yanhuang Club are all Core Members.

For example… the priest player selected by Lin Huan… Bai Pangpang… whose real name is Bai Qu, is a Core Member who signed an offline contract, but won't arrive at the Yanhuang Club for another two days.

There are a few similar players; members of the Old Assassin Alliance have almost all signed contracts long ago.

Su Sheng wasn't stingy and directly leased a small tavern.

There aren't many people, so a large space isn't needed.

This money can still be taken from the Yanhuang Club's public account.

After all, during this period, selling mounts and the previous alliance-building order…

have earned quite a bit.

Now the personnel who have arrived at the Yanhuang Club number close to three or four hundred, which is quite a lot…

Of course, the number of people who signed offline contracts is far greater than this, but from all over the country, not everyone can settle in the Yanhuang Club.

…

Su Sheng, Chen Guan, and Lin Huan moved back and forth among the members, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

Many people, seeing Su Sheng for the first time in real life, naturally raised their cups to toast.

After a round of toasts, Su Sheng took his seat, and looking at the lively banquet before him, he gave a slight smile.

Step by step, the Yanhuang Club… has indeed begun to take shape.

As time passed, everyone gradually finished their food and drink, and then the gathering began to disperse.

It's afternoon now; after returning to sober up and rest a bit, we can focus on tackling tonight's Great Elf tomb.

However, just as Su Sheng came out of the restroom, he heard a clamor coming from the tavern's entrance.

What's going on?

Su Sheng was a bit puzzled; everyone here is from the Yanhuang Club, and they got along well during the dinner, so there shouldn't be any conflict, right?

Could someone have drunk too much and gone berserk?

Su Sheng frowned, but since there's a game tonight, he told everyone to control their intake.

Fine wine is good, but don't overindulge.

So logically, no one should be drunk; as for outsiders causing trouble… with over three hundred Yanhuang Club members here, the opposite side would have to be foolish…

Curious, Su Sheng walked over.

Seeing the scene, his eyebrows lifted.

He saw a middle‑aged man pulling Huang Mingxin, babbling about taking her home.

The surrounding Yanhuang Guild members were at a loss, unsure whether to intervene or not…

"What's going on??" Su Sheng stepped out.

"Chairman!"

"Chairman…"

"Ah Sheng…" Lin Huan came over: "That… is Mingxin's father."

"What's going on?" Su Sheng furrowed his brow, no wonder others were reluctant to intervene; emotionally… that's her dad?

"Give up, I will never go back with you! I won't give you a single cent; my money will only go into my mother's hospital medical account," Huang Mingxin shouted loudly at this moment.

"I'm your father, you're my daughter; why does your money only go to your sick mother!"

"You've been lying there for so many years; no need to waste money. Give me the money, I'll flip it and make a fortune," Huang Mingxin's father said almost maniacally.

"I have no money; all my money went to my mother's medical expenses!" Huang Mingxin tried to break free from her father's grip.

But a woman is inherently a bit weaker than a man.

"No money? Then marry me. I've already negotiated with Liu Laoban; he'll give an 180,000 dowry, I can use it to flip and you can live a good life with Liu Laoban."

"That's a win‑win."

Everyone frowned upon hearing Huang Mingxin's father's words.

"That Liu Laoban is almost sixty, his son is older than me; how can you say that!"

Huang Mingxin looked at her father in shock; her father had always been lazy, a gambling addict, never expecting him to be this crazy now.

"That's good; you marry over there and don't have to experience childbirth's pain."

"And I'll use the dowry to flip; your brother's tuition will also be covered," Huang Mingxin's father said, looking manic.

Huang Mingxin opened her mouth, but remained silent.

Actually, from the money she earned selling phoenix blood last time, besides depositing it into her mother's medical account, she also gave her brother a portion, enough for him to attend school normally until graduation.

But she couldn't say; if her father learned her brother had money, he would probably start harassing him.

"Marry? That's out of the question, unless you can produce a ten‑million penalty fee."

At this moment, a voice came.

Who are you? What penalty?

Huang Mingxin's father looked at the walking-out Su Sheng, his brows tightly furrowed.

Huang Mingxin also froze, could not react immediately, and, cooperating, showed a nervous expression: "Chairman, rest assured I won't breach the contract."

Su Sheng calmly glanced at Huang Mingxin: "I am the Chairman of the Yanhuang Club; your daughter has already signed a contract with my Yanhuang Club, and she is currently working for me. If she marries now, she will have no time to work for me. According to the contract, she must compensate the Yanhuang Club with a penalty of ten million."

"Your family matters, as an outsider I shouldn't interfere; if you pay the penalty, you can take your daughter away." Su Sheng put on a mysterious, pretentious air.

"What cooperation? I don't know anything about it; as his father, I don't know of any contract, so it doesn't count." Huang Mingxin's father shouted and yelled.

Pff~

Su Sheng couldn't help but sneer: "Playing the rascal? Your daughter is an adult; the contract she signed is in black and white, legally binding."

"If you take your daughter away now, I only need a lawsuit, a ten-million penalty; you must pay even if you don't want to." Su Sheng said calmly.

Huang Mingxin's father gritted his teeth and looked at Huang Mingxin: "Why did you sign a contract out of the blue? You're really... muddle-headed..."

"It's fine for her to work for you, but the wages must be paid to me; I am her guardian!" Huang Mingxin's dad released his hold on Huang Mingxin's hand and looked at Su Sheng.

He is just a rascal, not a true idiot.

"Pff? Guardian? You don't see how old your daughter is; furthermore… she has no wages, she actually owes us wages.' Su Sheng took Huan Jie's phone, opened the payment record previously given to Huang Mingxin's account… the payment record for selling phoenix blood.

"Her wages have already been advanced for many years…' Su Sheng handed the payment record to Huang Mingxin's father.
