Chapter 586: Chapter 13 Key Figures_3

"Exactly, exactly, Mr. Liu makes sense."

Everyone echoed in agreement; after all, the financial power of the Azure Dragon Association was firmly in the hands of Liu Qiang. Whenever it was time to disburse funds, Liu Qiang was the one arranging the payments, which naturally made the minor guild leaders acknowledge his authority more.

Zhao Qingyun snorted coldly, "Mr. Liu, what do you mean by this? Are you saying you don’t trust me?"

Liu Qiang spoke gravely, "No offense intended. The base is, after all, a project in which the consortium has invested a fortune, and I must be accountable to the board members. President Zhao, what you’ve done today wasn’t very impressive. Rushing into war with a powerful guild and then losing, suffering such heavy losses in both manpower and money, it’s going to be difficult for me to explain this to the higher-ups."

"Humph, it’s just tens of millions. What is that to the strength of the consortium? Once I win against Dragon Soaring tomorrow and claim the Dragon Slayer’s treasure, all losses will be sufficiently recovered."

Liu Qiang continued, "The loss of money is indeed a trivial matter, but if we lose again tomorrow, it won’t just be a matter of tens of millions anymore. If we end up in a full rout, and if there’s another annihilation, surely you don’t intend to start over? The last operation already displeased the boss; we’ve delayed far too much time."

Zhao Qingyun said coldly, "As I said, I won’t lose. And if I really do, I’ll take all responsibility."

Liu Qiang stared at Zhao Qingyun for a long while, then suddenly smiled, "Since President Zhao is so confident, then I won’t say more. I won’t report today’s defeat just yet. Let’s wait until after tomorrow’s great battle to report everything together, how about that, President Zhao?"

Zhao Qingyun felt surprised inside. Liu Qiang always sought opportunities to undermine his authority, vie for power, and occasionally snitch to the corporation. Why was he suddenly so amiable today?

"Then I thank Mr. Liu for your understanding."

"Heh, all in the name of work."

Once Liu Qiang had left, Zhao Qingyun watched his retreating figure with a sense of unease in his heart.

"Ah Fu, come with me."

————————

Back in his room, Liu Qiang told his subordinates to wait outside. As the time for the report approached, he switched on his computer.

After a while, the figures of several board members appeared on the screen.

Upon seeing the face of the one in the middle, Liu Qiang immediately showed a worried expression.

"Boss, the situation is rather dire. Zhao Qingyun, for some reason, suddenly wanted to go to war with a major guild in the game. As a result, today’s encounter battle ended in a disastrous defeat; we lost dozens of lives. Not only did our Azure Dragon Association suffer heavy losses, but those Vassal Guilds were also nearly wiped out. The minor guild leaders almost called it quits. It took several hundred million by Zhao Qingyun to pacify them.

Tomorrow there will be a full-scale war..."

"Tsk, I’ve said it before, this guy isn’t cut out for management," said a board member dissatisfied.

"Several hundred million... damn, this guy is wasting our resources," another director was more concerned about the financial aspect.

"Don’t talk about him like that; Zhao Qingyun has achieved some results in the past."

"No need to make excuses for him, it’s time to replace him," the old man sitting in the middle suddenly said coldly.

"Liu Qiang, how much managerial authority do you currently have over the base?"

"The staff basically all listen to me now, but most of the core players still take orders from Zhao Qingyun. As for the ordinary players... most are still in the dark."

"That’s not important; without Zhao Qingyun, those people will have no choice but to obey. You can promote some of the smarter ordinary players, give them a bit of hope."

"Yes, boss."

"What are your thoughts on the upcoming war? I don’t wish to see a total wipeout again, rebuilding the team has already wasted too much of our time."

"Don’t worry, boss, I can take over and minimize our losses."

"Good, and you didn’t let Zhao Qingyun suspect anything, did you? If the power from this game really is that strong, we wouldn’t want him causing trouble."

Liu Qiang said confidently, "Absolutely no problem, the surveillance department of the base is now under my control, he has no idea about the content of my reports."

"That’s good to hear. Zhao Qingyun is an unstable factor, I do not want any turmoil during the transition."

"Right, boss, should we do something about Zhao Qingyun..." Liu Qiang made a very covert gesture.

"Decide for yourself, but make sure not to stir up any trouble. If you can smoothly transition, I can appoint you as the next manager of the base."

"Yes, boss! I will definitely complete the mission." Liu Qiang turned off his computer, an excited expression on his face.

Hehe, Zhao Qingyun oh Zhao Qingyun, you would never have imagined such an ending.

Meanwhile——

In a hidden room, Zhao Qingyun was watching a water basin with a stony face.

Inside the basin, the scene of Liu Qiang communicating with the consortium’s board of directors was playing out, even the sound of the conversation was clearly audible.

Immortal Law—Round Light Skill!

Although the base’s surveillance system was controlled by Liu Qiang, he had found another way to seek the truth.

The truth, however, was a little painful for him.

["Decide for yourself, but make sure not to stir up any trouble. If you can smoothly transition, I can appoint you as the next manager of the base."

"Yes, boss! I will definitely complete the mission." Liu Qiang turned off his computer, an excited expression on his face.]

Watching Liu Qiang’s smug expression on the screen, Zhao Qingyun nodded at Ah Fu.

With a pinch of the magic formula, the image in the water basin disappeared immediately.

"What should we do, boss?"

Zhao Qingyun’s gaze swept around, Ah Gui, Ah Fu, Miao, and Ah Kai were all his brothers through life and death.

Ah Kai said, "How about we make peace with Dragon Soaring? Give up the White Dragon? Shall we stop fighting?"

Ah Gui, on the other hand, said, "It’s useless, being defeated is still being defeated even if we stop now. It’s better to just kill Liu Qiang directly, with our strength, it shouldn’t be difficult."

Miao looked a bit worried, "Liu Qiang is not weak either, and he controls the armed forces of the base. If we take action directly, I’m afraid..."

Zhao Qingyun, listening to his brothers’ discussion, suddenly laughed, "Hehe, no need, Liu Qiang thinks he can control me? The board thinks they can shake me off? Long Xingtianxia thinks they can defeat me? I’ll make all of them understand that I, Zhao Qingyun, am not someone who can be easily manipulated.

Brothers, don’t worry, I already have a plan, tomorrow we just need to do this..."

The few people, listening to Zhao Qingyun’s arrangements, all showed excited expressions.

"Great plan, boss."

Zhao Qingyun nodded smugly, though his lips couldn’t help but reveal a hint of triumph.

"But this plan still requires one key person——"

————————

Xiao Jie did a final check to make sure his backpack wasn’t missing any supplies, preparing to log off, when suddenly, a private message appeared on the screen.

Qingyun Zhishang: Hello there Hidden Moon Following Wind, interested in a chat?

Xiao Jie was startled; wasn’t this the ID of the Azure Dragon Association’s boss?

What does this guy want with me?

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Chat about what?

Qingyun Zhishang: I know you’ve got a grudge against Liu Qiang, want to get rid of him? We could collaborate.
