In the Southern Wilderness City, within the System Tavern, a private room awaited.
Upon receiving the System prompt granting them entry, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan stepped into the luxurious chamber, dressed in casual attire.
"Ah, it’s truly an honor for you two to be here!" Brotherhood of Loyalty greeted them, though his smile seemed somewhat forced. To Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan's surprise, aside from Brotherhood of Loyalty, there were five other men and two women present in the room. Judging by the badges on their arms, they all belonged to the Brotherhood Alliance Guild.
"Let me introduce you; these are my brothers and sisters who have shared hardships with me..." Noticing Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan's surprise, Brotherhood of Loyalty quickly made introductions, emphasizing the phrase "shared hardships." He continued, "Since tonight's discussion involves the future of our Guild, I invited a few brothers and sisters to join us."
"Good evening, everyone!" The two nodded slightly.
The seven responded in unison. One Swordsman Player remarked, "I've long heard of your esteemed name, First Person. It's a pity we’ve never met until now; what a fortunate occasion!"
Yi Tianchen smiled lightly. "You're too kind. Since we have important matters to discuss, let’s get straight to the point!"
"First Person is indeed straightforward!" The Swordsman agreed, clearly not one to beat around the bush. He turned to Brotherhood of Loyalty and said, "Brother, you can represent us fully from here on; none of us have any objections."
"Thank you!" Brotherhood of Loyalty said these words with great sincerity, as if they came straight from the heart. He then added to Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan, "Let’s sit down and talk."
The two looked at each other and sat down.
"To be honest, the reason I called you both here is that I have a request. Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. You are both well aware of the Brotherhood Alliance's attempt to bid for the Guild Token at the First Auction held by your Chamber."
"Unfortunately, our bidding... failed."
Yi Tianchen nodded. "We know that. So, what does the Brotherhood Leader mean by this?"
"As everyone knows, our Brotherhood Alliance is nominally an allied Guild of the Divine Silence Guild, but in reality, we have long since become a vassal. Our attempt to bid for the Guild Token was made without the consent of Divine Silence; it was indeed our own decision."
Liu Yuhan quickly pointed out, "What the Brotherhood Leader means is that you are worried this incident might be interpreted by Divine Silence as an intention to break away from them?"
The expression of Brotherhood of Loyalty changed slightly as he forced a smile. "Since I have something to ask, I don't want to hide anything from you. Breaking free from Divine Silence's control has always been our wish. We thought this time would present an opportunity, but we ended up losing miserably again!"
"Sigh..."
The group fell silent, each letting out a heavy sigh. Yi Tianchen said, "Forgive my bluntness, but are you currently worried that Divine Silence will take action against you?"
Brotherhood of Loyalty's expression grew serious as he replied earnestly, "It's not just worry; it's a certainty. Because of this incident, Divine Silence Dust Fate will undoubtedly believe that the Brotherhood Alliance harbors betrayal intentions. Even if they don't act immediately, it won't be long before they do. They will never allow the Brotherhood Alliance to continue existing."
Liu Yuhan asked, "But how can we help you with this?"
Brotherhood of Loyalty's demeanor relaxed slightly as he calmly said, "At this point, I can only lay everything bare before you. In fact, Divine Silence Dust Fate has long had plans to recruit Mist of Time. Just look at the recent confrontation between your Guild and Blood Night Guild in Dawn Forest..."
“Dawn Forest?”
Yi Tianchen feigned confusion but then asked, “Could it be that the sudden appearance of the Brotherhood Leader was actually commissioned by the Divine Silence Guild?”
Liu Yuhan replied, “That’s strange. How did the Brotherhood Leader know we were in Dawn Forest?”
The Brotherhood of Loyalty nodded and explained Liu Yuhan’s question, saying, “In fact, even before the Mist Rain Flowing Years Mercenary Group was established, Divine Silence Dust Fate had already infiltrated with spies.”
“I see!”
Yi Tianchen furrowed his brows and didn’t pretend too much. After all, overthinking could lead to counterproductive results. He said, “We actually knew someone would infiltrate, but we never considered Divine Silence, especially since their main city is Dongli City.”
“Indeed, it’s understandable that First Person didn’t think of it!”
The Brotherhood of Loyalty smiled naturally for a moment but then his expression darkened. He returned to a tone that felt somewhat tangled and said, “It’s precisely because Divine Silence Dust Fate has intentions to recruit Mist of Time that we thought to ask for your help.”
Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan exchanged glances. “We’d like to hear more!”
The Brotherhood of Loyalty continued, “It’s quite simple. We hope you two can cooperate in putting on a show, claiming that the Brotherhood Alliance is participating in the bidding for the Guild Token. In reality, it’s just to help you raise the price.”
“Is it really that simple?” Yi Tianchen asked in response.
The Brotherhood of Loyalty nodded and added, “Of course, this is just the first step. Once this is completed, we will need you both to witness for me in a relatively public setting, proving that I participated in the bidding solely to help raise the price.”
Liu Yuhan smiled lightly and said, "Then, we can publicly express some thoughts about aligning with Divine Silence. After that, we can let Infiltrate, who is an informant among us, relay everything to Divine Silence Dust Fate, creating the illusion that Your Guild is genuinely participating to help raise the price."
"Brilliant! This plan is truly ingenious!"
Yi Tianchen couldn't help but laugh, nodding as he spoke. "In this way, Divine Silence Dust Fate will naturally dispel any doubts. Moreover, when it comes to winning over Mist of Time, he might even credit you for it!"
"Hehe~"
Brotherhood of Loyalty let out a bitter laugh. "I can't take credit for that; however, if this goes through, it will indeed create a reality where Your Guild leans towards Divine Silence. Regarding this point, we would like to hear what kind of compensation you two expect from the Brotherhood Alliance."
"To be honest, as an Emerging Guild, receiving support from a major Guild like Divine Silence wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing!" Yi Tianchen pondered for a moment before continuing, "From this perspective, we wouldn't consider it a loss at all; compensation could be waived."
"Oh? So what you two mean is..."
Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan exchanged knowing smiles and said earnestly, "This sounds like a deal. But since it's a deal, let's follow the rules of trading. What we want to know is, if we agree to help with this matter, what kind of return can Your Guild offer us?"
Brotherhood of Loyalty was taken aback for a moment but quickly grasped their intention!
