Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God

rather than gaining recognition, she was still treated like a tool.

“Glorious Echo, if you have nothing else to say, you can leave now.
You are not welcome here!” Aqua Rose no longer bothered addressing Glorious Echo as “Guild Leader,” but referred to him by his character name instead.
She made sure they knew how furious she was.

Since she had joined Zero Wing, she had been very happy.
Her time here was completely different from her time in Twilight Echo.
She had learned many things during her time in the Guild.
Counter to other’s beliefs, it was Zero Wing that had made her stronger, not the other way around.

And they want her to sell out Zero Wing? Not in this lifetime!

Seeing Aqua Rose’s determination, Glorious Echo’s somber expression darkened.

“Right, I’ve forgotten to introduce this young lady beside me,” Glorious Echo’s expression suddenly changed.
With a smile, he proceeded with the introduction, “This is Miss Exemplary Willow.
She represents Open Source Corporation and is responsible for the Corporation’s affairs relating to God’s Domain.”

Exemplary Willow, who wore a purple robe, only smiled in response.
She did not bother to offer a single word.
It was as if she looked down on Aqua Rose.

“Why is someone from Open Source Corporation here?!” Aqua Rose’s shock was obvious.

Open Source Corporation was a Global 500 company.
Moreover, it ranked very close to the top.
To the Corporation, Twilight Echo was like an ant that it could squeeze to death at any given moment.
They were from completely different worlds.

“You might not realize this, but Open Source Corporation has already invested in Twilight Echo, becoming the Guild’s largest shareholder.
Although your parents were strongly opposed to the plan, their efforts were useless,” Glorious Echo sneered.
“If our talks for cooperation fail today, I believe that Miss Willow will be quite disappointed.
If Miss Willow is unhappy, Open Source Corporation might accidentally take everything from you and your family.
So, I think you should consider your options carefully before you speak.”

So, that’s their game.
Aqua Rose immediately came to a realization, a self-deprecating smile appearing on her face.

It was no wonder why her family had not opposed the Guild’s decision.

It would be child’s play for Open Source Corporation to suppress her family’s business.
Facing such a monstrosity, her family would have no choice but to lower their heads.

“This is your best and only option.
Why must you make life difficult for yourself?” Glorious Echo advised softly.
“Besides, we’re not just taking Stone Forest Town’s land for granted.
We are offering your Guild Leader a satisfactory price.
If you can persuade him to hand over Stone Forest Town, then I assure you that, not only will you become a Director of Twilight Echo, but Black Flame will also receive shares of the Guild and become a Director with you.
With OSC’s investment, Zero Wing will quickly become the number one Guild in Star-Moon Kingdom.
Wouldn’t this be a better result?”

Taking a deep breath, Aqua Rose said resolutely, “Glorious Echo, stop dreaming.
I will never agree to your offer.”

She would never betray the Guild.

Although she felt sorry for her family, she believed that, by relying on her own abilities, even if her family’s business went under, she could help her family flourish even more than before.

“Good, very good!” Glorious Echo applauded.
However, his expression while doing so was exceptionally grim.
With a chilling tone, he said, “Since you do not know what’s good for you, I’ll move this discussion to your Guild Leader.
I believe he will be far more understanding.
You better not regret your decision.”

No Guild could ignore the temptation of receiving OSC’s investments.
As long as Black Flame was a reasonable man, he would beg to have Open Source Corporation become the major shareholder of Zero Wing.

“Are you looking for me?”

At this moment, Shi Feng pushed open the doors, smirking wickedly as he slowly entered the room.
