Fatal Shot

Chapter 681: Hiring Fee, 50% Nightless City Shares?

“Brother Feng, I haven’t even congratulated you yet… One can say you’re currently the highest-ranking of the entire planet of two billion people!”

“I felt that with your ability, you would definitely be able to make yourself achieve something great, but I did not think that you had already made such an amazing achievement during Wartime!”

After sighing, the big boss suddenly changed the conversation topic into “Wartime.”

Although due to physical reasons, the big boss barely entered the game and took a back seat early. However, he was clearly well informed about the matters within the game.

“It’s mainly due to good luck, but please don’t praise me like that. No matter how popular Wartime is, it’s still a version of a game. It’s an exaggeration to say I’m at the pinnacle of two billion people, that is overexaggerating…”

Feng Luo shook his head and smiled.

“You’re too modest!”

“Wartime is definitely not an ordinary game. Otherwise, the government would not use this type of measure for advertising the game to all the citizens, simply so that almost everyone can enter the game. It definitely has its importance!”

“I’ve invested my whole life into it, and even though I’m not physically fit right now… My judgment will definitely not be wrong!”

“So, Xiao Feng, you better stop being modest. Obtaining the initiative in this game, my intuition is that it would have a lot more value than earning up to billions of dollars in real life!” said Big Boss with an assured face, shaking his head.

This made Feng Luo feel a little surprised.

He was naturally aware of “Wartime” being atypical. After all, it was involving matters from Earth and was able to affect their real-life bodies as well through the experiences.

But it was obviously impossible for the big boss to know about that, but he was really relying on intuition to make that judgment about Wartime.

Feng Luo could not help but admire it. It was no wonder his big boss was able to start from scratch and earn billions of assets, and also have the courage to invest huge sums of money in the “Wartime” to build a city.

“Xiao Feng, regarding what Ah Wu said, what is your opinion on completely removing the Nightless City Club from the Lu Conglomerate?”

Big Boss suddenly changed the conversation topic again and actually asked about the matter that Mu Wu raised to Feng Luo.

“I’m more inclined to be in agreement… Because of today’s events, Nightless City and September Guild have no chance of reconciliation at all… And the cooperation between Lu Conglomerate and September Guild is unlikely to be interrupted, so…” said Feng Luo directly, after thinking about it for a while.

Although today Mu Wu and Mr. X had reached a settlement, it was only a settlement for this matter.

The relationship between both parties was not possible to be repaired, and it would not be a good thing if they were to stay in the same city.

Feng Luo was sure that Big Boss would definitely know the matters that happened today.

He may even have known about the conflict between the Nightless City Club and the headquarters of the Lu Conglomerate, as well as the tension between them and the September Guild.

As to why he did not intervene and settle the matters, after the few sentences that Big Boss just said, he expressed about how clear he was, and clearly, he had his own intentions.

“Yes…It’s the same as what I thought…Sigh…”

Big Boss sighed.

“Actually… Ah Wu is my son…”

Then, Big Boss suddenly showed some hesitation in his expression as he told Feng Luo after.

“…”

Feng Luo was a little surprised initially, but afterward, his gaze became calmer.

“It seems that you had already guessed that? True, it looks like it’s pretty obvious by now.”

Big boss’s face was a little surprised, but then there was a wry smile.

“I haven’t thought about it before, and it was just recently when…”

Feng Luo did not continue talking.

The reason why he speculated about this kind of gossip about the identity of Mu Wu was that the issues that arose when Mu Wu was in Nightless City Club, as well as his disagreement against Young Master Night Star, was too obvious.

Although almost every employee in Nightless City knew that the big boss had a lot of trust in Manager Mu Wu, as the affairs of Nightless Club city were directly and completely passed to Mu Wu.

But, in any case, being a subordinate in theory, no matter how much the boss favored him, he should not be opposed to the future heirs of the group.

After all, with the big boss’s physical condition, everyone knew that, in the future, Lu Chen would definitely be the helm of Lu Conglomerate.

And what Mu Wu had done recently, whether it was refusing to integrate Night City Club into the Lu Conglomerate, or from what Feng Luo just said, to move the city away from the Lu Conglomerate, they were slightly exceeding the responsibilities of a manager.

And under such circumstances, Big Boss actually did not say anything.

This clearly was sufficient for some people to have some guesses.

“Ah Wu’s character was similar to his mother. He is absolutely uncompromising about what he cares about, and has always wanted to do something to prove himself…”

“Of course, he has the ability, and he’s even better at managing and judging the situation than I do… In this regard, although Ah Chen also does a good job, he is not as good as Ah Mu…”

Big Boss’s face showed an expression of him recollecting his memories, and his mouth was like a chatbox that was opened as it spoke continuously.

Feng Luo stood beside him as he listened attentively.

He did not ask things like why, in this case, did he pass Lu Conglomerate to Young Master Night Star and not Mu Wu?

Simply because Big Boss was a Lu and Mu Wu’s surname was Mu. This was clearly sufficient to show that Mu Wu had zero possibility of taking over the Lu Conglomerate.

It was previously said that the star civilization was a little strange. Its science and technology were clearly very developed, but they still maintained some “feudal era” customs that were similar to Earth.

It was like a big family that was divided into main branches, side veins… There were even lineages within the family, with several different names.

Of course, in addition to these two salutations, there was an even more unique identity that gave off a different expression—an illegitimate child.

“Oh… Look at me, once people age to a certain extent, once he recalls he will never stop talking … Xiao Feng, in fact, the reason why I wanted to see you this time, in addition to asking you on your views of Ah Wu’s proposal, but also, more importantly, I have something to discuss with you.”

After five minutes of recollection, the big boss finally recovered from his mild absent-mindedness.

Then, looking at Feng Luo, he apologized with a joking tone.

Feng Luo stood up straight as he waited for the big boss to speak.

“For a variety of reasons, I’m sure it’s impossible to hand over the Lu Conglomerate to Ah Wu … However, Nightless City is mainly set up by my personal funds, although previously it was under the name of the Lu Conglomerate, I have bought back all the shares.”

“I have signed a gift contract, to prepare to give you and Ah Wu 50% of the shares each of Nightless City Club!”

However, the big boss’s words really made Feng Luo reveal a face full of shock.

As the deputy manager of Nightless City, although Feng Luo was not very involved in the management and operations, he would at least know that the total price of Nightless City was at least more than 200 million star coins. Now the big boss just gave him 50% of the shares, which was more than 100 million!

Even though the big boss had assets that were worth more than five billion, this was still a lot for a gift.

It should be said that this had exceeded the amount that a gift should be.

“Xiao Feng, don’t talk. Listen to me to finish talking… Cough!”

Just when Feng Luo wanted to open his mouth, the big boss rushed to continue talking first.

“Even though I haven’t been in the game for a long time, I’ve actually been watching you all. Knowing your reputation and assets, Xiao Feng, you might not see this mere half of the Nightless City’s shares with much importance. Not needing to mention anything else, just the BOSS chip you have obtained is far more than the value of the Nightless City…”

“And, with your character, you will certainly not agree to accept it!”

“But I remember when we first met, you said you were a mercenary, and the rule of doing things was to talk with money… Cough…”

“Then can I take this 50% of shares and hire you to help Ah Wu in the game for a year, just like helping him in the entertainment city, it will not take you too long. You just need to help whenever necessary. This could also count towards me as a father to make up for what I have owed him…Cough…”

Big boss’s cough intensified after talking continuously.

Moreover, this time the bruises on his head bulged again, as if he was suffering a severe headache, but his eyes were still looking expectantly towards Feng Luo.
