Parting Ways

The next day, in the office building of the Sky Group, two rows of people sat on either side of a long conference table.

The row on the left consists of personnel from the game company, including the company's legal counsel, GMs, and Ma Xiaoyun and Jiang Zeyan. Leading them is none other than Li Mingfei himself. The fact that the company's CEO personally came shows how seriously he takes this contract termination signing.

On the right side was Xiao Yu and his studio members. As the saying goes, even if you lose the battle, you can't lose face. Although the two sides were worlds apart in terms of overall strength, they couldn't appear weak on the surface when signing the termination agreement. So Xiao Yu brought out all his subordinates, dressed in sharp suits, and with the lawyers he hired, they looked quite impressive and were evenly matched with their counterparts.

The contract had already been drafted, and both parties had studied it repeatedly. After Li Mingfei and Xiao Yu had no objections, they finally signed their names in the presence of their respective lawyers.

After signing the last document, the team leaders, Li Mingfei and Xiao Yu, shook hands with each other.

"I have to admit, you really hit my weak spot this time. You're the first person to get away unscathed from such a huge mess. But you won't have such good luck again, young man. You're playing a game you don't understand at all, a very dangerous game." Li Mingfei's voice was tinged with coldness. In reality, he didn't wear a white suit like in the game, trying to appear unfathomable. He looked more like an ordinary businessman.

Xiao Yu smiled. "I think I understand what I'm doing."

Li Mingfei then turned his gaze to Qin Shiyue, who was standing next to Xiao Yu.

He gave a forced smile. "Miss Qin, I remember your Song of the Ocean Guild isn't affiliated with the Immortals. It's not too late for you to leave Xiao Yu. I can continue our previous contract. As long as you join our company, I will still strongly support your guild."

In this contract termination, Xiao Yu also terminated the contracts of some of his subordinates, including Leah Bloodmoon and Big Water Cunt. The endorsement fees they had earned were also paid in full at once. Because they belonged to the Immortals System, the contracts of Leah Bloodmoon and Big Water Cunt were negotiated very smoothly.

However, the Song of the Ocean is different. Strictly speaking, this organization is not subordinate to the Immortals; it has a direct contract with the game company. Nevertheless, Qin Shiyue ultimately chose to stand with Xiao Yu. Upon hearing Li Mingfei's invitation, Qin Shiyue shook her head with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, some things cannot be undone."

Qin Shiyue knew very well that Li Mingfei recruited her because of Xiao Yu's connections, aiming to poach members from the Immortals. Otherwise, why would Song of the Ocean, a guild that hadn't even won a nomination, attract their attention?

If you choose to follow the game company, you'll be kicked out without any recourse, so you might as well go all the way down this path.

After the termination agreement was signed, Xiao Yu led everyone out of the conference hall and headed out of the game company.

As he walked, Xiao Yu looked at the signed contract termination document in his hand and the more than 20 million yuan in his bank account. He breathed a long sigh of relief, finally putting his mind at ease.

Li Mingfei is a businessman. For a businessman, as long as he doesn't push the other party too far, he won't be determined to fight to the death. As the Destroyer, Xiao Yu is now a figure of worldwide attention. As long as he doesn't go too far, Xiao Yu feels that the other party shouldn't do anything to him. At most, they might trip him up in the game. However, in the game, he is not afraid of anyone.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, Xiao Yu has decided to hire a few security guards. After all, he now has a net worth of tens of millions, so hiring a few bodyguards is only reasonable.

Actually, he was a little apprehensive. If things had really gone to the point of mutual destruction, the other party might have resorted to Blackhand against him. He was already quite satisfied with the current outcome.

However, things became more complicated after that. Once the Alliance and the Horde returned to the mainland, they would be beyond their ability to handle. Adventurers on land have a very high rate of attrition.

Although the current the Destroyer buff increases the generation of elemental creatures by ten times, making it possible to create an army of tens of millions, adventurers can kill monsters very quickly. An adventurer can easily kill 100 monsters a day, and with 100,000 top-tier adventurers, theoretically, they could kill ten million monsters a day, which is terrifying to even think about.

If they regroup and launch an attack on the Elemental Plane, then we're in big trouble.

Fortunately, most elemental rifts are not easy to pass through. For example, the elemental rift leading to the Fire Elemental Plane is usually located in the crater of a volcano. It is fine for fire elements to pass through there, but if you are an adventurer, you will have to endure the damage from the lava and it will be very difficult to pass through.

Elemental fissures leading to the Water Elemental Plane are usually located in places like Maelstrom, making them equally difficult to pass through.

Now, Xiao Yu can only rely on the terrain for defense.

When Xiao Yu walked out of the conference hall, he saw a group of people waiting outside: Dragon Covenant, Dragon-Slaying Sword Saint, Moon Goddess Ranger, Light of Heavenly Punishment, and so on. In short, it seemed that everyone who had signed a contract with the game company had come today.

Based on the information Esmehalda and Mofeitosi revealed to him, they were there to sign a supplementary treaty. The main reason was that the game company was afraid of a repeat of the Elemental King incident, so they added a bunch of additional clauses to the contracts of other players.

"Dude, you're awesome."

"From now on, we'll be enemies, so you'd better go easy on us."

"Hmph, next time we meet, you'll be sorry."

As they walked along, the group made various noises, but Xiao Yu simply nodded dismissively and didn't take them seriously. Whether it was to show mercy or to make them pay next time, these were just words and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Xiao Yu greeted everyone and quickly left the company. When he reached the building entrance, he ran into Naiser.

Naiser still had that cool and aloof demeanor, but he looked a bit more unruly and downcast. As soon as he saw Xiao Yu come down, he immediately came up to him and blocked Xiao Yu's way.

Naiser looked at him with a complicated expression.

"To be honest, I was very resentful when you defeated me and became the Destroyer, but now I'm convinced. You really have guts to go against a game company."

Xiao Yu didn't know what to say, so he simply shrugged, giving off an expression that said, "I'm just that awesome, and you're only just realizing it now?"

"Come with me, someone wants to see you," Naiser said, turning and walking towards a car in the distance.

Xiao Yu thought to himself that the person he wanted to see was undoubtedly Shen Yuan. He turned around and told his men to leave first, then got into the car with Naiser.

"This car is nice," Xiao Yu said as he fastened his seatbelt while sitting in the passenger seat.

"'Chaos Power' is a new flying car from Xunlei Company, the brand you endorse," Naiser said, then suddenly glanced at Xiao Yu, "You don't recognize it, do you?"

Xiao Yu shook his head somewhat awkwardly; he really hadn't recognized him.
