Chapter 562: Traitor
During the conference, Qin Feng stood and looked down from the front, it was attended by more than a hundred influences of varying sizes.
Due to the ma.s.sive size of the Dragon Capital, it was under the influence of at least nine elders, and one of them was a house lord.
Hence, the distinctive trait of the Dragon Capital was its dense population.
‘Among these people, I will only target thirty collaborations in the end, and some of them are totally unnecessary.’
Qin Feng sneered deep down, the short-sighted families were like hungry wolves that preyed on Qin Feng as they looked at him, in fact, as Qin Feng looked at them, he was totally unbothered.
Qin Feng would not care about such families as they would soon be eliminated by the fast-paced compet.i.tion within the Dragon Capital.
“From my recent exploration, I would like to present to you a total of one hundred and forty-eight advance technology parts, and about thirteen ability practicing skills that will be published for public practice, and I will be selling all of these items at the Human Alliance!”
“As for the hundreds of advanced technology items that vary in technological capability, I do hope all of you would gauge your own capability and act diligently!”
The crowd below exclaimed, although they had expected Qin Feng to have obtained a lot of items, however, the actual number was way beyond their expectations.
Qin Feng was not bothered by the discussion among the crowd and went on, “I have already pa.s.sed on three of them to Regent Shang, the remaining hundred and forty-five will be divided among the major families, at maximum, each would only get five and it would also depend on the research capability of the respective family.”
“Meanwhile, my rules are simple, contend with your own financial ability, I will not withdraw any of the amount as it will be used to fund your research projects and the post-production work. However, technologies from the research work will be commonly shared and I will get twenty percent of the profits, if any of you disagree, it would be better to not join in.”
“Of course, just to be clear and courteous with each other, the mutual development project will last for three years, throughout the years, if I were to die of unexpected reasons, every developed technology will be directly published to the Dark Coalition!”
It was also declared as a threat.
The crowd seemed to be worried by such an arrangement, and a family leader from a major family voiced out, “Mister Qin, I’m afraid your approach would be unfavorable for some!”
What if some of the families that had failed in contending were to join forces with the Dark Coalition to take Qin Feng down, would that not be a secured win for them?
Qin Feng remained calm and continued, “Therefore, for those who are thinking of playing tricks, please be reminded of the widespread technology secrets that I have on hand!”
With that, some were able to understand Qin Feng’s intention.
Being on the weaker side when compared to the other major families, Qin Feng was not ent.i.tled to have such mutual technology sharing. However, on the other hand, he had huge potential and it was different from Ai Duo and the others.
Also, he had gotten an important piece of information for the Dragon Capital, and it was equivalent to a huge contribution, at least, he should be able to enjoy the special award and treatment.
Hence, Qin Feng had earned his stake to table out the terms with all of the influential parties.
However, the shape of the future was still unpredictable.
Undoubtedly, by securing the collaboration with all major families, Qin Feng would be the final winner. Would it not be better for the clans to stop Qin Feng’s growth by killing him and taking control of the technologies?
However, Qin Feng’s threat had precisely aimed onto their lifeline, he was unkillable, or else, he would then transfer the technologies to the Dark Coalition.
On the other hand, for those clans who could not get their hands on the technologies, they would have to consider if they were to kill Qin Feng, what sort of technologies would they get?
Even if they were able to obtain it, the research on highly destructive skills would not succeed immediately, could it take a year, two years, or three years to complete the research work?
Capabilities of the Hero Cla.s.s were usually immeasurable by normal terms, with Qin Feng’s pace, he would only require half a year to achieve B-tier, hence, it would still be possible for a B-tier to go against an A-tier!
By then, would it take an S-tier apt.i.tude user to kill Qin Feng? First, such a person had to exist!
All of a sudden, the crowd sank into mixed emotions as they looked at Qin Feng.
It was a plot!
The aim was to buy time!
However, Qin Feng did not spare them any more time for consideration and showcased all hundred and forty-five technological parts, of course, all of those were handpicked by Qin Feng, they were useful, but not too useful.
However, the prices varied according to the sizes, with the disintegration that was already applied, it was impossible to pull any sly moves.
Some of the capable families were already gauging on the five slots that they were allowed to take.
“From now on, auctioning for item number one!” The auctioneer that was hired by Qin Feng began with the first hammer.
Despite the infighting and hidden torrential rush among the crowd, Qin Feng still had control over the situation.
He stood at the backstage with his arms folded as he witnessed the compet.i.tion among the powerful figures of the Dragon Capital. However, he seemed to be unbothered by it.
After all, he had been through every situation and would not be affected by such an insignificant matter!
***
In Fengli City, Xue Xingfu had been worried for the past few days, actually, he should be able to get some good rest.
“Fortunately, these people are not informed, wait until the chairman is back, all of you shall pay for it!”
The trade between Qin Feng and the families from the Dragon Capital was major news, however, it would never be discovered by the distanced and generally weaker states from the North Sea as they were intentionally blocked from accessing such information.
However, for the past few days, with his keen sense from being an unscrupulous businessman, he seemed to be perceiving the situation as the calm before the storm.
“Beep beep beep, unusual alert!” The sudden news instantly shocked Xue Xingfu as he sat up straight in his chair and looked at the screen.
The system of the floating city was equipped with all sorts of functions that were unknown by the outsiders, for example, the function that was controlled by Xue Xingfu was a threat detection system that could scan through Fengli City to observe the life magnetic field of all lifeforms.
The system would prompt its alert if there were death counts that exceeded the value of three within the timeframe of ten minutes, after all, under Qin Feng’s management, Fengli City would rarely have any fight scenes.
However, from Xue Xingfu’s observation, the death count had already hit six within the timeframe of two minutes.
Xue Xingfu immediately activated the surveillance system and locked in on the view within Fengli City, it was at the official residence of w.a.n.g Chen, the Patrol General of the city.
It was a scene under the nightfall where slaughter was carried out by a shadow, Xue Xinfu was immediately infuriated and blood red veins were seen around his pupils.
“Traitor!!!”
Xue Xinfu roared in anger!

In a banquet hall, Qin Feng had underestimated the intricate relations among the families of the Dragon Capital, and in the end, there were approximately forty-seven families that had entered into partners.h.i.+p with him.
Of course, Qin Feng was quite delighted for the whopping twenty trillion that he had raked in.
However, the numbers were still rather small and it was incomparable with Qin Feng’s previous profits.
“Thank you everyone for coming today, and I do hope everyone will return with satisfaction!”
Then, the dishes were being presented. However, some did not appreciate it and excused themselves with upset expressions, and some discourteous ones had even exited abruptly, just like House Lord Chu.
