Chapter 1373: Mutually Beneficial, Win-Win Situation
As the leaders of Sanguine Alliance, Sanguine Warflag and the rest definitely knew what was the stuff on the table for.
“Glup…”
Sanguine Alliance swallowed their saliva at the sight of Saga City’s seal and asked with excitement, “This… What does this mean, G.o.d Bull?”
“Hehehe!” Fearless smiled and said, “We treat our brothers very well and we have to earn money together of course. Old Bull has two cities under his name now, and he is thinking of giving this seal to Sanguine Alliance.”
“What? You are not kidding, right?”
Sanguine Alliance was too surprised at what Fearless said and pinched their cheeks to make sure that they were not imagining things.
“Of course not!” w.a.n.g Yu replied, “I am serious! And I will never make this kind of joke!”
This matter had been carefully thought about by w.a.n.g Yu.
Whether it was in real life or in the game, it takes true power to have more than what you should.
Even if Quan Zhen Sect was so rampant, they had only slightly more than ten people and therefore had no ability to look after three main cities.
For things like Maritime Route, the start and the end harbour of the route would be the most profitable cities, and the wealthier the harbour cities were, the wealthier Saga City would be.
w.a.n.g Yu and Quan Zhen Sect will not allow their hard work to be taken back by the j.a.panese just like that.
However, to control Saga City, they will definitely face the Black Dragon Guild’s hara.s.sment. They were already having trouble controlling two main cities, and hence definitely unable to attend to an additional city.
Rather than letting Black Dragon Guild gain all the profits, they rather this city to land in the hands of another big guild who was Chinese.
The only guild in Twilight City that we’re able to compete with Black Dragon Guild was Sanguine Alliance and Void Blade. Among those two, Sanguine Alliance was older and had a better relations.h.i.+p with Quan Zhen Sect, so the chance would definitely be given to them.
“This… Please allow me to calm myself down…” Seeing w.a.n.g Yu being so serious about this matter, Sanguine Warflag started discussing this matter with his men in the group channel immediately.
As a big guild with a big ambition, having a main city signified the start of Sanguine Alliance’s expedition to the entire world.
Just like what Fearless said, only after having a main city, then they could be considered as a powerhouse. During the last years of Eastern Han, the Liu, Guan and Zhang brothers were this influential only because they had their own city.
Ever since a long time ago, Sanguine Alliance had been living under the shadows in Twilight City, because there were no other guilds that could be suppressed by such a small group of people. Hence, conquering the world could only be hidden in their imaginations.
After all, if they could not even get a controlling right to a city, they had no rights to think about conquering the world. The seal that w.a.n.g Yu had reignited the hope in Sanguine Warflag.
But… fear was always their concern.
Sanguine Warflag had dealt with Quan Zhen Sect for quite a while now, and he knew Quan Zhen Sect inside-out.
Quan Zhen Sect had the reputation of being cheap and calculative, so it was definitely not that simple of a matter for them to hand over the city lord seal just like that. According to experience, this might be a plot that could cost the entire fortune of Sanguine Alliance.
At this critical moment, Sanguine Alliance’s rationality won their desires and Sanguine Warflag thought for a while and said, “G.o.d Bull, this is too expensive of a gift. I don’t accept things when I did not contribute to anything. I’m afraid I can’t take this.”
“I won’t let you have it just like that of course!” w.a.n.g Yu replied, “I have some conditions!”
“I knew it!” Sanguine Warflag sighed and said, “What are the conditions?”
Sanguine Warflag did not know why he was so suspicious of everything, but even if w.a.n.g Yu did not have any conditions, he would not dare to take the seal either.
w.a.n.g Yu nodded and said, “Very simple! That is to be the affiliated main city of Twilight City!”
In <>, affiliated main cities had to give 10% of their profits to their dependent main city, and the affiliated main city had to be deployed by their dependent main city.
As the dependent party, w.a.n.g Yu had the responsibility to protect the affiliated main city as well.
The only reason why w.a.n.g Yu gave Saga City to Sanguine Alliance was just because he needed a guild strong enough to fight the Black Dragon Guild.
Sanguine Alliance was a big guild that was ranked at the front, so Quan Zhen Sect was more rea.s.sured if they handed the seal to Sanguine Alliance.
The main city seal cost a few hundred thousand at the maximum, but if they gave it away, they could still receive a fixed income now and then.
From the profits that could be made from a harbour, 10% was a considerably big amount to a small guild like Quan Zhen Sect.
This decision was way better than letting Saga City’s j.a.panese keep the city’s profits.
…
“Oh, affiliated main city?”
Sanguine Warflag did not have a single bit of hesitation in his words and said, “No problem!”
Sanguine Alliance was a big guild, so they had done these sort of things before. Sanguine Warflag knew what w.a.n.g Yu and Fearless were up to and of course, w.a.n.g Yu did not have any intentions of hiding anything.
Transparency was required between friends to last. As long as the terms had been stated clearly, the relations.h.i.+p between the two will not be hurt in the future.
However, though Sanguine Warflag knew Quan Zhen Sect’s motive, they agreed to cooperate immediately.
In Quan Zhen Sect’s point of view, they had gotten themselves a free service and another 10% profit and were pretty happy with it.
In Sanguine Warflag’s point of view, not only did Quan Zhen Sect give them 90% of the shares, Quan Zhen Sect will also come to their aid when they are in trouble. There was no reason to reject such a good deal.
Everybody profited from one another and were all satisfied.
“Since you guys agreed, let’s sign a contract!” w.a.n.g Yu admired Sanguine Warflag’s bold personality and took out a piece of contract as he spoke.
Sanguine Warflag was not sloppy in doing things and looked through the contract once before he grabbed the Saga City’s seal and clicked “Use”.
Sanguine Warflag signed the contract the first thing after he became the City Lord of Saga City.
