Free Web NovelChapter 1487: Defense Border Part 2
Edgar spent the next few minutes discovering why the viewer count was so high.
First of all, the channel was a private one used by Cute Joy and Little Honey in a cooperative manner.
These two were charming and beautiful, alright. And topped with their natural charisma to garner viewers’ attention and make them entertain, their subscriber count had reached a frightening value.
As if that wasn’t enough, the current stream was of an exclusive kind.
However, what really caught people’s attention was the participant in the defense border, the Vanguard Guild.
While the rest of the guilds were still struggling with how to get to the frontline and be involved in real action, the Vanguard Guild was already in battle.
Humans were naturally curious and gossipy.
To witness such a scene, who wouldn’t open and pay for the stream to watch the event unfolding?
Maybe in their eyes, they could perhaps gain some insight and mimic their actions.
Why did he come to such a conclusion?
Because Edgar was also paying close attention to the stream with a mix of frustration and intrigue.
"No wonder the city suddenly restricted many passages. They were preparing for a battle on the defense border against the Colossus’ army." His eyes glinted in a cold light.
He turned to the window and gazed in the direction of the scene.
The battlefield was happening so close to him, but he couldn’t even get a chance to participate.
"D-Do you think we should stop targeting the Vanguard Guild?" The subordinate suddenly asked. He had watched how a regular member of their guild had slain numerous monsters without breaking a sweat.
The level and description of those monsters were also reported in vivid detail by the female anchors, too.
And what made it startling was that each of the members was actually starting to steal monsters from each other.
It was as if they were born to be battle-crazed and would stop at nothing to gain the highest kill count.
Alas, the subordinate failed to understand one crucial aspect.
"What did you just say?" Edgar’s eyes turned fierce.
"You want me to stop targeting them just because of these trivial incidents? What kind of guild do you think we’re in?"
Unlike those pathetic so-called first-rate guilds who repeatedly met with setbacks against the Vanguard Guild, they were of the Super Guild.
’Super Guild? Wasn’t Lethal Corp also a Super Guild?’ The subordinate sneered inwardly.
Many seemed to have forgotten their memories regarding how Lethal Corp was the very first Super Guild to have targeted the Vanguard Guild and ended up losing a lot.
However, the subordinate knew that he wasn’t allowed to bring this matter up.
His Young Master had clearly lost his mind from the humiliation and setbacks.
Edgar was focused on the stream completely, so the subordinate quietly left the room. There was no point in trying to enter the defense border when there were soldiers patrolling the area.
They had already been penalized heavily by the nobles for tax evasion. To cause another big mistake could easily jeopardize their entire hard work.

Dawnshire City, Silver Wind Guild Residence
"Would you look at that?" Gentle Wind shared the stream to Autumn Breeze and smiled bitterly.
"Every time they got pushed to a corner, they pulled up something shocking like this."
"I’m not even surprised." Autumn Breeze shrugged.
From the moment she went to visit Xu Feng and the way he reacted, it was evident to her that he had something up his sleeve already.
And sure enough, reality had proven her mindset correct.
"This Xu Feng is the type to eat soft and not hard." Autumn Breeze exhaled softly.
"Of course, that only applies to strangers." She clarified, referring to how if she really acted tough, he would have to listen somewhat.
"Yeah, you got it right again." Gentle Wind plopped on the sofa and smiled bitterly. "I’ve just received messages from the Phoenix Guild and Tyrant Fist Guild."
"Let me guess, they’re taunting you." Autumn Breeze mused. To the outsiders, they were the ones who had backstabbed the Vanguard Guild as well.
So now that the Vanguard Guild was in the spotlight again, they were definitely being teased and taunted for their actions.
"Well, what can I say?" Gentle Wind shrugged. They weren’t enemies, but friendly competition was totally encouraged. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
After all, without any competition, they would stagnate and no longer try to improve themselves.
"Well, now those shareholders who told us to relent will lose influence." Autumn Breeze’s eyes narrowed coldly.
"I’m already hearing that the shareholders are regretting their actions and want me to reconcile with the Vanguard Guild." Gentle Wind sneered.
These shareholders had a lot of nerve, to be honest.
The one who asked to sever ties was them, yet the one who asked for reconciliation was also them.
"It’s at times like this that I’m so jealous of Xu Feng." Gentle Wind sighed deeply. Without any of these nuisance shareholders to yap around, it would really make life easier. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"You’re talking as if this is not your opportunity to curl the shareholders into your palms." Autumn Breeze mused.
"Yeah, but it still won’t be at your level." She smiled bitterly.
Since Autumn Breeze’s position in her company was already high, the shareholders disregarded her opposition and chose to make a bad decision. It was obvious that Autumn Breeze would be an autonomous decision-maker from now on.
"Actually... that may not be the case anymore." Autumn Breeze suddenly giggled.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Gentle Wind sat up straight and glanced at her in disbelief. "Did you purchase some of our shares again?"
"Of course, I did." Autumn Breeze smirked.
"Just need to slide in some bad news and how Super Guilds are eyeing the Vanguard Guild, as well as their allies. Those fence-sitter shareholders obviously get scared that their wallet might dwindle and toss the shares out."
"At this rate, I feel like you’re planning a hostile takeover of my company." Gentle Wind said in a half-joking and half-serious tone.
