Chapter 1512: End of Colossuses Part 5
Without the emperor’s presence, the Royal Court became nothing more than an empty room.
"You are free to roam around until summoned, Viscount Lin Feng." The Royal Steward tossed an identity token toward Xu Feng and said.
Once that was done, he excused himself to follow the emperor.
Xu Feng held the identity token in silence. ’Wow, you’re really giving me this powerful token like that?’
This identity token was golden and laced with many intricate details, one that represented the guest of the emperor.
With this token, he basically obtained diplomatic immunity.
What was diplomatic immunity?
Well, let’s just keep it simple. He can literally commit crimes and get away with it.
Yup, sounds bullshit, right?
That was how diplomatic immunity worked!
Of course, he wasn’t going to commit crimes against the innocents. Instead, he still had some beef left with those nobles involved with the accusation plan.
Others might not know, but this identity token was clearly the indirect permission from Emperor Aether to take vengeance into his own hands.
You don’t seriously think such a significant token could be given away by a Royal Steward without the emperor’s permission, right?
’Looks like my petty nature has been exposed.’ Xu Feng mused inwardly.
With or without the identity token, he was planning on getting back at those nobles anyway.
He was never the type to let others walk over his head.
’What was that person’s name again... Duke what? Ah, Duke Marvin.’ His memories were really getting terrible at remembering the insignificant individual.
The summoning occurring in Bardmon City was definitely not a coincidence.
Although it wasn’t planned by him, it was definitely planned by someone who wished to eliminate him, but also didn’t want to leave behind any evidence.
And in this scenario, the only one capable of creating this variable was none other than Duke Marvin.
As for that bum of an heir from Razor Nightmare, Edgar... he lacked the resources to orchestrate such a deliberate scheme and timing.
This was verified when he arrived at Bardmon City and played Edgar like a fiddle, whilst the latter didn’t even dare to bark a single time. Had it not been for his father, either, then he would have imploded on the spot, too.
A few seconds later, Xu Feng was contacted by Cute Joy, one of the female anchors who was currently in the hot trending for her explosive live stream.
"What’s the matter, Joy?" Xu Feng picked up the call and asked.
Cute Joy’s face was shining in a bright light as she exclaimed, "Guild Leader, Honey and I are swamped with invitations to stream for them."
"Hoh, congrats on your success. But I suppose this isn’t the reason for your call, right?"
Although the event was amazing, he knew Cute Joy wouldn’t have called him for something he already knew. There must have been something else that would catch his attention.
And sure enough, Cute Joy gave him something hilarious.
"Guild Leader, we were recently contacted privately by Razor Technology, who offered us a lot of money in exchange for streaming a day in the life with Edgar Sandoval." Cute Joy giggled throughout when she relayed this hilarious news.
They wanted her, someone who had exposed them earlier, to do a livestream for them.
Why was that?
PUBLIC OPINION!
Now that both she and Little Honey were on the trend, with many approval ratings, especially how they gave many players a glimpse of ways to become stronger, aka the Domain Field, many sought their advice.
In such cases, the Razor Technology shareholders would be a fool to not hire them back to alter their stained reputation.
"So they want to pay you to lie?" Xu Feng asked in amusement.
"Quite the opposite, Guild Leader." Cute Joy shook her head.
"They know viewers aren’t stupid or anything, so they want us to stream it live with no filter or flowery words. They want us to show that Edgar is only human and that it’s common for humans to make mistakes."
Upon hearing that, Xu Feng nearly let out a sinister laugh.
Want to record him live?
Raw at that!
Interesting... the viewers were about to receive the greatest popcorn treat in a long while.
"Whatever they offer you in payment, request double and pay on the spot, alongside a no-refund policy in the contract." He said evilly.
Instantly, the sweetness and cuteness on Cute Joy’s face disappeared. What replaced it was a sinister-looking and shrewd woman.
"What plans do you have this time, Guild Leader?" She asked excitedly.
"Hehe, you’ll see when we get there. But there’s no need to do anything special. You can just stream it raw as they instructed you to and enjoy the free popcorn view. Oh, wait, even better than popcorn would be those viewers showering you and Honey’s money for the amazing popcorn stream."
"How much money do we need to split among the guild?"
"Why would you split your money?"
Xu Feng was surprised by her sudden question. "Those streaming payment fees are earned because you and Honey did a good job. Even if it’s true that the Vanguard Guild gave you the opportunity, it was ultimately your effort to snatch it."
"But we’ll feel guilty taking such a large chunk." Cute Joy lowered her head and explained the payment fee.
"Razor Technology was willing to offer us 1.5 million dollars to stream the segment."
"..."
At this moment, Xu Feng’s brain circuit was nearly cut short and became electrocuted.
When did money become such a cheap thing?
He still recalled the first day of his reincarnation; he had only a little bit over 5,700 dollars in life savings.
Yet now that kind of money was like nothing in front of Cute Joy and Little Honey, who were immediately offered millions for a single segment.
"See, even the Guild Leader is flabbergasted by the amount." Cute Joy smiled bitterly. Truth be told, when she saw the payment fee, she nearly agreed on the spot alongside Little Honey. This was money the two never dared to dream about earning.
