Chapter 2291 - 866: The Young Master Stunned

"Young Master" gently stroked his family’s big rabbit, wearing a gloomy expression as he said, "Actually, the most troublesome part of this matter is whether I should know about it or not."

His relationship with the Black Rose Family had always been very, very good.

"Young Master" was himself from a complex living environment, so he really liked Black Rose’s straightforward and natural style.

If this matter wasn’t handled properly this time... even if the result was his great victory, it would inevitably affect the feelings between them.

Whether he watched Cunlü and Hard Wind struggling in pain and then chose a result that either betrayed his conscience or harmed himself.

Or whether he acted quickly upon receiving the news, it would be a kind of harm to both of them.

Hard Wind was the Knight Commander of Black Rose, the leader of the Wild Boar Legion.

Even many Boar Knights would cheerfully call him "Dady."

Cunlü, although due to her personality, didn’t like management work... she was assisting both Hard Wind and the Old Age Striking King in their work!

Moreover, her friends are spread all over the world; who in Proud Sky Alliance doesn’t know her?

If these two, who hold crucial roles in Black Rose, were affected because of him... "Young Master" didn’t think others couldn’t see why a Master Level figure got involved in this matter... being forced to quit the game or suffering heavy losses, his friendship with Black Rose would inevitably be put in question.

He didn’t believe that the young chap who acted didn’t see who this matter was targeted at.

Yet he still became the sword.

There could only be one reason for this: the relationship between that Master and their family was inherently colluding for mutual benefit.

Helping the Master while also adding some deterrence for himself.

Ha~

Quite well thought out.

Except, they didn’t consider "Young Master."

"I originally thought this was just a matter among the juniors, that one shouldn’t be too ruthless." "Young Master" suddenly spoke, "But now, it’s different.

Regardless of whether the other family is aware of this matter... ha, no one would think they’re unaware!"

The secretary looked at the usually sunny Young Master, now with a sudden expression of loneliness.

"I just want to have fun here." "Young Master" muttered, "How rare it is to meet a group of friends who know who I am but don’t care who I am!"

His sorrow was apparent.

The secretary could actually understand his sadness... although the people from Wenjian have no particular fear of Young Master, they’ve always been informal with him.

Yet being "informal" proves that, in the minds of university students, there’s still a distance.

There’s no choice; even if there’s no fear, when encountering someone like "Young Master" in reality, everyone hopes to tread carefully, to not offend him.

Furthermore, when meeting him, people tend to pay a little more attention to their image... especially those in their art academy.

After all, everyone knows that he’ll definitely be a boss in the future, not a colleague.

It’s just that "Young Master" used his clever means to bridge what could have been a very distant gap.

But in the game, especially in the Black Rose Family, with members across various regions of the multiverse, even those in military bases, who cares about the mood of the Young Master?

So, "Young Master" often played with those people.

The secretary understood this difference very well and never felt jealous... truly treating a boss as a close friend means something’s wrong.

Among friends, material differences can exist, but the affection shouldn’t be uneven.

Otherwise, it will eventually lead to imbalances.

But can you demand that the boss treats you better than other colleagues? To not be aloof and cold when assigning tasks?

On what grounds?

Just because he’s made friends with you, should he be extra cautious when assigning work?

But people can’t separate their feelings that clearly.

So, you can maintain a good relationship with the boss generally recognized as "friends," but it absolutely can’t be genuine intimacy."

The secretary was well aware... indeed, some bosses who seem kind and gentle might feel regret if you’re overly dutiful, occasionally even complaining a bit.

But this doesn’t affect your promotion or raise at all.

If you were to truly believe those words... ha~ only the salary earned through hard work allows one to live with dignity.

The secretary was always clear-headed, so he could understand "Young Master’s" heartache.

Encountering something, or rather, facing betrayal for someone from a big family like "Young Master," was common.

He didn’t mind experiencing difficulty in a game as well.

But, clearly, he’d made good friends in the game, those who, just by his conduct, were willing to play with him.

For "Young Master," who was actually very sensitive and had a high demand for affection, losing so much at once was indeed hard for him to bear.

Honestly, it was at this moment that the secretary understood how ruthless this fierce enemy really was.

For him, in this game, there were only two people he must yield to.

"Young Master" and the boss of Doomsday.

But that person will definitely not participate in the conflict between him and the Proud Sky Alliance; he will surely choose to stand by and watch.

Only ’Young Master’ will surely stand on the side of the Proud Sky Alliance.

However... experiencing such a serious betrayal once, losing his biggest pleasure in this game, even if ’Young Master’ becomes furious because of it and retaliates against them... with that master around, ’Young Master’ can’t just hurt people.

The alliance still has laws.

Though they’re always talking about family this and family that, having money and power doesn’t mean they can easily take someone’s life.

The ever-present Star Net is enough to let a lot of darkness only linger in the gaps.

And once set as a suspect, they will surely be thoroughly investigated... even if someone thinks their crime is flawless, can their family be equally invincible?

Which family can withstand such thorough scrutiny... a 72-hour investigation period is enough to completely topple an interstellar company.

Otherwise, the status of the master artist wouldn’t be so high.

They really do live under the spotlight.

The secretary pondered for a long time before seriously asking, "Boss, don’t you think something feels a bit off?"

"Hmm?" ’Young Master’ was surprised as he raised his head, gripping the soft rabbit fur, "What do you mean?"

"Doesn’t the Space-Time Company’s game have something special about it?" The secretary tilted his head and looked thoughtful, "Look, this situation is getting bigger and bigger now.

It’s completely unlike we thought before, just a brat trying to pave the way for his Academy Star career.

Now... this situation seems like dispersing your major forces first, then stirring up trouble further.

If I’m not mistaken, if Cunlü and Hard Wind really went down the wrong path, the Black Rose would eventually scatter, right?"

’Young Master’ thought for a moment before nodding: "The Wild Boar Legion relies on their Duke and Duchess to control.

If those two return to Hill’s family, I suppose many boars will follow them.

Moreover, if those two leave because of this reason... a lot of people might lose heart, perhaps even leave this game.

After all, the Black Rose has always been proud of its loyalty!"

The secretary spread his hands: "In Proud Sky Alliance, there are actually only three families with full membership: Black and White Path, Black Rose, and Wenjian.

Once any of these three disperse, Proud Sky Alliance basically won’t have much presence.

Those elite families are indeed powerful, but in world tasks... having more people is advantageous.

Proud Sky Alliance could always enter new worlds first; having many people with high military exploits is the key.

How long can elites last if they’re only burning money and lives?

Doomsday there is really capable of fighting and enduring, but each time they barely make it by skirting the line!

Yet, if Proud Sky Alliance really falls apart.

If you consider the Scattered Ones who basically don’t think, just following us and going with the flow... this game will definitely be chaotic for a long time.

I’ve heard Space-Time Company never wants to go public, even spends most of its income to buy servers and research technology?

The turnover in the bank isn’t much, hmm... you know, anyway, it’s said the deposits aren’t much.

For a game company, having no debts or loans means it’s healthy.

So, no one thinks there’s anything wrong with this.

But, let’s say if players decide not to spend money in the game for some time... can Space-Time Company withstand it?"

’Young Master’ blinked: "Who told you Space-Time Company has no money?"

"As one of the Alliance’s notable large games, it has a financial report every year." The secretary said honestly, "Besides, many people analyze these reports.

Although I don’t understand much about these, almost all financial experts say so..."

"Economists expressing opinions online are just nonsense!" ’Young Master’ suddenly cursed, "They’re only fit for that table! Nonsense!"

The secretary took a deep breath: "Some people can enter the Alliance Conference Hall!"

’Young Master’ raised an eyebrow: "So what? I’ll livestream it for you next time I go!"

The secretary slightly opened his mouth... but he believed, ’Young Master’ wouldn’t misunderstand that he meant those people can participate when the Alliance meetings are officially held.

He lightly pressed his forehead... Indeed, it’s good enough if one-third of the stuff ordinary people see is credible.

Then ’Young Master’ suddenly muttered: "Space-Time Company’s technology isn’t particularly eye-catching, is it?

Besides, the best is given to the military, would those fools dare to make a move?

Hmm... Speaking of which, they indeed seem involved in areas like mental health hospitals, and also worked with the official Alliance.

That old guy seems to have ascended to a master level through music that can soothe the mind... Hmm?

Eh?"

’Young Master’ suddenly lifted his head: "They’re not really dumb enough to want to fight an economic war with Space-Time Company, are they?

No... Who told them that bank turnover proves everything!

The Alliance does allow companies with economic ties to the military to have secure accounts!

Why don’t they know this?"
