Just in time?
A show of force.
Chen Yi's gaze grew colder and colder, and the air around him became increasingly heavy.
In just a few seconds, the players from the Heavenly Fortune Guild felt as if several years had passed.
Sweat seeped through their Mage Robes.
These players did not dare raise their heads and could only lower them even further.
"I'll take it."
As Chen Yi spoke, the oppressive atmosphere vanished completely.
No matter what, Chen Yi could not possibly kill anyone within the main city.
Besides, even if he killed these players, it would be useless. They were merely passing along a message for those above them.
Yao Yingqian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Although Chen Yi had not targeted him, the aura he gave off made the insects within his body tremble endlessly.
He really had reached Rank 7.
Then those bastards trying to cut off my source of income are screwed. Heh heh.
Yao Yingqian put on a fawning expression. "Boss, I want to report them!"
San Hua's expression was solemn. The gap was growing wider and wider.
This must be because my family doesn't own a mine.
Small fry had their own ways of surviving.
When Ningguang opened for business, she invited Chen Yi. Because of Chen Yi's deterrence, the "reasonable" business competition she encountered afterward while opening shops decreased considerably.
The other merchants naturally understood this principle as well. It could be said that every sufficiently large Merchant Guild had a backer behind it.
Since they dared to meddle in the Demon Break Stone business, they naturally knew about Chen Yi.
Even so, they still dared to continue because money moved people's hearts, and because their backer was anything but ordinary.
So Chen Yi found one of their backers.
