Not long afterward, the middle-aged man asked, "Who were the people who launched the surprise attack on Taiyuan Star?"
"We haven't found out, but I estimate they were several major forces led by the Wei Family. White Egret Lord held Suo Haar off," Xiao Qin replied.
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed. "White Egret Lord. On the surface, he's a free agent, but our investigation shows he's been receiving support from Cosmic Shield for a long time. The Wei Family, Cosmic Shield, and probably other forces were involved too. They actually managed to bring down the Spirit Interpreter Research Association. What nerve."
"I remember the Wei Family produced a very capable junior in recent years."
"Wei Rong. He's skilled at forging alliances. Although young, he's very shrewd, and he's never failed when he's made a move. He was on Taiyuan Star too," Xiao Qin said.
The middle-aged man nodded. "That explains it. Yi Feng defected to the Wei Family, and this Wei Rong has some skill."
"Yi Feng used incentives to attract a group of Spirit Interpreters to Qianrong Territory. On top of that, they seized the True Explanation Hall's collection, so Wei Rong made quite a haul," Xiao Qin added.
The middle-aged man rose and frowned at the flowerbeds. The key issue wasn't the Spirit Interpreters, nor even the Spirit Interpreter Research Association's collection. It was that Wei Rong had set a very dangerous precedent. Since ancient times, their colossal organizations had looked down upon the Outer Universe, deciding the fates of its people and controlling its lifelines. Now that the Spirit Interpreter Research Association had fallen, the Outer Universe would see that bringing down one of them was possible. That was bad news.
It meant Three Leaf Clover Company could be in danger too.
"How has Mebis Bank reacted?"
