Chapter 279 Matters

Under the close watch of Nie Yan and Ban Xingde Huli (Half-Awake Fox), the whole incident progressed remarkably smoothly.

In the end, Fa Lan simply let go, allowing his subordinates to make a scene. The players of the Kalenna Temple ferociously slaughtered five or six thousand members of the Triumph Empire and Holy Light Flame, though they also suffered heavy losses.

The Kalenna Temple and the Triumph Empire and Holy Light Flame completely fell out, and Fa Lan was powerless to salvage the situation.

As soon as the incident occurred, Ban Xingde Huli sent a message to Nie Yan, laughing heartily in the voice chat, "That old fellow Fa Lan still boarded our pirate ship. Let's see if he can still be as carefree as before."

Nie Yan was also in a cheerful mood. By pulling the Kalenna Temple into the mix, the alliance formed by Nirvana Guild, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Kalenna Temple was in no way inferior to the Triumph Empire and Holy Light Flame, and might even surpass them!

The situation in this life was greatly changed compared to his previous life. The Triumph Empire and Holy Light Flame no longer held absolute power.

"Don't be happy too early, let's talk to Fa Lan about how to cooperate," Nie Yan said.

"Are you afraid of a cooked duck flying away? I'm going to ask him to send some people to participate in the fortress war," Ban Xingde Huli said with a laugh. If Fa Lan participated in the fortress war, then the overall situation would be settled, and the iron triangle of Nirvana Guild, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Kalenna Temple would be formed.

"Go ahead and ask," Nie Yan said. He glanced at his communicator, which was ringing again. It was Guo Huai. He said to Ban Xingde Huli, "I'll take this call first."

"Alright," Ban Xingde Huli went to chat with Fa Lan.

Nie Yan answered Guo Huai's call.

"How big are the guild's losses?" Nie Yan asked. Nirvana Guild was currently at war with the Triumph Empire and Holy Light Flame. He didn't know how things were going.

"It's alright. The Nirvana Guild brothers have only died a little over ten thousand times, which is acceptable. They've been too fierce, taking down more than thirty thousand from the Triumph Empire and Holy Light Flame. A lot of equipment dropped, and the guild warehouse is almost full," Guo Huai said. Nirvana Guild's losses had always been maintained at a ratio of one to three compared to the Triumph Empire and Holy Light Flame. It could only be said that the brothers of Nirvana Guild were too strong.

"Distribute the guild contribution points, give them a little more," Nie Yan said. The players of Nirvana Guild were already of high quality, and they had gained prestige and morale during this period, so this result was not bad.

"There's also another matter. Cao Xu, the president of the Century Conglomerate, contacted me and said that he's willing to spend money to acquire shares in Nirvana Guild. If Nirvana Guild agrees, they're willing to offer a price that satisfies us. How are you going to handle this?" Guo Huai asked. If a guild could receive investment from such a large conglomerate, it would be very beneficial to the guild's future development.

Hearing Guo Huai's words, Nie Yan's expression darkened. The Century Conglomerate had used this method in the past, controlling guilds one by one through investment. Now they were extending their reach to them.

Nie Yan said solemnly, "Nirvana Guild will definitely not sell shares to the Century Conglomerate, reject them."

"Alright," Guo Huai nodded. He vaguely sensed the anger in Nie Yan's tone. He was a little puzzled. Why was Nie Yan so agitated when he mentioned the Century Conglomerate? Did Nie Yan have some kind of conflict with the Century Conglomerate?

"Keep a close eye on the Century Conglomerate's movements in the future, see which guilds they've acquired!" Nie Yan said. Since the Century Conglomerate's reach had already extended here, he had to be on guard.

"Mm. Leave this matter to me, don't worry. There's also another matter, that Xie Yao you asked me to investigate, I've already found some information," Guo Huai said.

Nie Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Send me the information."

"The background of that girl you mentioned is really not small. You know Xie Pei, right?"

"Xie Pei, that financial tycoon, the president of the Zhengrong Conglomerate?" Nie Yan was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Yes, Xie Pei is Xie Yao's uncle. Also, Xie Yao's mother is the daughter of the president of the Longyue Conglomerate. This series of identities is really powerful. It is said that when Xie Yao was born, she held 12% and 28% of the shares of two companies respectively, with a net worth of nearly ten billion. She was truly born with a silver spoon in her mouth. However, Xie Yao's family is relatively ordinary, and her parents are also very low-key, rarely interacting with the company's management. They bought a villa in Huahai and settled down," Guo Huai said. He didn't know until he investigated, and he was shocked. Such a deep background was truly astonishing.

Nie Yan was also taken aback. The Zhengrong Conglomerate and the Longyue Conglomerate were both top conglomerates in the country, second only to Cao Xu's Century Conglomerate. Why hadn't he heard anyone mention Xie Yao's background in his previous life?

In his previous life, his classmates all knew that Xie Yao's family was very rich, but they never thought that her family was so rich.

Even when Nie Yan's father's company reached its peak in his previous life, it was unable to compete with these two conglomerates. Those were two behemoths!

"It is said that Xie Yao's parents left a portion of shares to Xie Yao, and then donated the remaining shares to charity. They don't object to their daughter marrying an ordinary person, as long as she likes him, so you still have hope, don't be too discouraged," Guo Huai said. It was truly not easy for Xie Yao's parents to be able to do this.

Xie Yao's background did shock Nie Yan, but what Nie Yan cared about was not money, but the figure that he had remembered for two lifetimes and still couldn't erase. Her shadow was like a deep brand.

The various events of his previous life lingered in Nie Yan's mind.

Regardless of Xie Yao's background, one thing was certain: Nie Yan was unwilling to miss her again.

"Brother, keep it up, I have confidence in you," Guo Huai said. If Nie Yan wasn't qualified, then who was?

Hearing Guo Huai's words, Nie Yan's mood couldn't help but be a little uplifted, and he smiled, "You too, keep it up." He was naturally referring to the class beauty.

Guo Huai gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Can you not mention my embarrassing moments?"

The two chatted for a while before hanging up the voice call. Nie Yan shifted his attention back and directed the team to continue grinding monsters.

Just as Nie Yan was directing his men to continue grinding monsters, Yao Yao walked over from not far away.

"Nie Yan, I have a Holy Word Priest quest that I can't finish halfway through. Can you help me after you finish the fortress war?" Yao Yao said. Her clear eyes looked at Nie Yan expectantly, like a bright diamond, shimmering with a captivating color.

Nie Yan slightly averted his gaze and asked, "What quest?"

"Karl's Blessing. After completing that quest, I can get a Holy Hall magic," Yao Yao said.

"You received Karl's Blessing?" Nie Yan was stunned. After thinking about it, he really couldn't bear to refuse Yao Yao's request. He had a special method, and it was very simple to help Yao Yao do that quest. He nodded and said, "Okay, contact me then."
