Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1532: Legacy Era Part 2

Haven Wind City

City Hall

With the increase in size, Xu Feng had already barred any non-guild members and guild members beneath the Elite rank from entering the city prior to its promotion.

And because he was adamant about keeping this a secret, no broadcast or announcement was made to others.

In other words, nobody except those permitted knows of their town being promoted to a city. As for the Twilight Glades now being a land under the Vanguard jurisdiction, that was even more of a secret.

’From now on, anyone who wants to enter Twilight Glades has to pay a fee and a cut of their loot.’ Xu Feng wanted to laugh aloud when he could imagine the amount of money earned from these fools.

They wouldn’t know that they were paying the fees directly into his pocket.

On the off chance that they found out, they still had to grit their teeth and pay the fees. Otherwise, they could dream about farming in the Twilight Glades.

With the Legacy Era, this region had also transformed to become the golden land to increase level and legacy power.

The current Vanguard members were already deployed to the Twilight Glades to train.

’Ah, everything is on the right track.’ He thought to himself.

Of course, that didn’t mean everything was going smoothly. The financial status within Vanguard was officially in the red.

With the sanctions increased substantially because many guilds refused to let his guild become the spotlight again, it had been difficult to earn income.

It didn’t help much either when the Inventor Jeanette was starting to complain about a lack of ingredients to research her potions.

The deal was that he would provide her with enough ingredients in exchange for her to supply the guild with potions at a discounted price.

But if he couldn’t fulfill that, then Jeanette could leave anytime.

Sounds ridiculous?

You got that right!

But talented people naturally have some privileges.

Those who didn’t have talent or any use could only accept their fate and receive fewer privileges.

"Are you overworking yourself again?" While he was deep in thought, a voice echoed from behind.

Xu Feng turned around and smiled bitterly at them.

"The new update dropped... There are a lot of things to do, you know?" He tried to explain himself.

Needless to say, this voice belonged to none other than Carmen.

Aside from her, there was probably only Veronica who could possibly tell him to stop.

"The Vanguard is a big guild now. Not everything needs you to supervise." Carmen crossed her arms and argued.

"The channel for ingredients has been found by the team led by Lightning Blade. With the help of the Army Camp, we can now avoid the other trade route sanctioned by the other guilds." She then reported.

Due to the multiple sanctions and the fact that the Vanguard had shut itself off from outsiders, meaning nobody could enter Haven Wind City, many thought they were holding on to their last breath.

Some employees in the real world even offered their resignations.

But the truth was that they were poached by the other Super Guilds in the real world.

Toward this kind of ferocious poaching, Xu Feng didn’t tell anyone to stop them.

After all, if an employee could be swayed and pursue profit over loyalty, then so be it.

Such a person was destined to never be relied on in times of crisis.

"So we lost about 300 members in total." Xu Feng nodded in understanding.

The majority of these people were from the real world who sent in their resignations while paying the fees for breaching their working contract.

Although the fees weren’t outrageous, it wasn’t something many could afford to do en masse unless someone was willing to foot the bill on their behalf.

"I bet you wanted to lose even more." Carmen rolled her eyes. She was not the slightest bit worried about many people leaving their guild or the real-world company.

These enemies were doing them a favor by showing who could be nurtured and who should be blacklisted.

"But these people are definitely hired as trolls." Carmen sighed as she glanced at the Game Forum. Screenshots and videos of Xu Feng’s statement during the interview were being forwarded constantly.

They were mocking him without any qualms. Each comment was nastier than the previous, with the comment receiving tons of likes.

"> <All bark and no bite! This Xu Feng really disgraced himself big time!>

"> <Eclipse Nova? Where? I can’t see~ Did he come already or get scared away?>

"> <Haha, so many guilds want to drown the Vanguard Guild. Does this puny Eclipse Nova want to join the party?>

"> <Haha, what about that so-called Demoness? Where did all her threats go?>

Some even turned it up a notch and wanted to drag Carmen’s name and reputation through the mud.

Unfortunately, that was proven to be the most foolish move ever.

"> <Fuck off! Why the hell are you dragging the majestic Demoness into the topic?>

"> <If you want to troll, then know who to target properly before shooting your keyboard warrior.>

"> <We dislike Vanguard, but we don’t dislike the Demoness! Go back and reflect on yourself before I have my people hunt you down in the wilderness!>

The supporters and fans of Carmen were even higher than the Vanguard Guild as a whole.

That was the sick reality we lived in.

The more cruel and brutal Carmen was, the more people idolized her like a goddess. Not even the water armies, aka the trolls, hired by multiple guilds could do anything to tarnish Carmen’s name.

Or more specifically, even the trolls admired Carmen and outright refused to defame or slander her.

Slander their goddess?

What a goddamn joke was that!

But slander the Vanguard Guild Leader and Honorary Elder?

Say no more!

They would gladly do it for free anyway!

"Gender equality they clamor..." Xu Feng twitched his mouth when he saw the disparity between him and Carmen.

When others cursed at him, more people chimed in for the fun.

Yet when it came to Carmen, these people would target those who wanted to drag her down instead.
