Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 2)

Chapter 319 - Laying Cards Out on the Table

The more everyone listened, the more fearful they became. Of the auction houses mentioned, which one wasn't eyed like a thick slab of meat by countless financial groups? Their value several years down the line would be incalculable! All of these golden geese had surprisingly been snatched away by Nie Yan. He controlled more than 60% of the assets in Calore and Nisode City! This sort of capital was enough to throw down with even the largest of heavyweights. Additionally, he tried to downplay the fact that he was the owner of the Starry Night Potion Shop. However, its current growth was nothing short of astonishing! There were no less than several dozen branches opened across every major city, all of which were in prime real estate locations. What's more, they were still feverishly recruiting! Waves of Alchemists flocked to join under the banner of the Starry Night Potion Shop. No one would be surprised if it became the largest potion shop chain in the entire Viridian Empire! It was extremely valuable just by itself!

For a single person to be behind all these things, it was simply too frightening!

"With Little Yan here, the War God Tribe can expand worry-free." Lin Ya smiled. His old comrade's son had grown up. He also felt gratified.

Nie Yan glanced at the people by his father's side. They no longer dared to regard him as as a useless brat. They had met him several times in the past. But since he appeared quite ordinary, they had somewhat looked down on him. The only thing they feared about him was his identity as the chairman's son. But now, they looked at him in a new light. Everything he achieved in Conviction was gained through hard work alone! Nothing was given to him by his parents. Without any real ability, it was impossible to establish powerhouses like Asskickers United and the Starry Night Potion Shop, let alone snatch away so many auction houses and plots of land right under the noses of countless financial groups.

"A tiger father will not beget a dog son. Who knew the chairman's son was so amazing?"

"Right? I wish my son was even half as capable."

Father Nie was filled with satisfaction after hearing the numerous compliments aimed at his son.

Nie Yan had never gotten the respect of these people in the previous timeline. They had mocked him countless times for his incompetence and mediocrity. From this day forward, he would no longer be seen as a wastrel!

Seeing the reverence in the eyes of these people, Nie Yan sighed with emotion. A person required ability to be acknowledged. And nothing could better convince them than his reputation as Mad Rogue Nirvana Flame!

Nie Yan held his head up high, his heart brimming with pride. All of Conviction was his stage!

"I'd also like to mention Asskickers United previously received an investment from the Dragonsoar Financial Group in exchange for 30% of our shares. However, I still hold absolute leadership in the guild. As for our strength, I don't think I need to speak on it. Furthermore, I control a majority stake in both Holy Empire and Sapphire Shrine. So if the War God Tribe requires it, I can mobilize the strength of all three guilds," Nie Yan said. These three guilds could clear away all the obstacles in the War God Tribe's path!

Nie Yan dropped another huge bomb, causing everyone to feel light-headed. Holy Empire and Sapphire Shrine were also famous guilds. Although they were overshadowed by the brilliance of Asskickers United, they were still untouchable existences in the minds of players! But it suddenly came to light that these guilds actually fell under his control? This information was too shocking!

Calore, the capital of the Viridian Empire, was Nie Yan's domain. It was a place where he could call the clouds, summon the rain, and blot out the sky with a wave of his hand!

Who in Calore could possibly oppose Nie Yan?

Heaven Breaker? Nightbreak Trickster? All of them were beaten into retreat!

Calore was Nie Yan's backyard!

Father Nie and company were still digesting the information. It took them a long while to recover from their shock.

"Aside from these three guilds, I also control a professional player organization called the Union of Assassins, which currently has over 30,000 members. Although it isn't the same as a guild, they can still play a big role in the future if we mobilize them. That's everything."

Everyone had already grown somewhat numb to the shock. But when Nie Yan informed them that the Union of Assassins also belonged to him, they were left reeling yet again.

This kind of strength was probably unrivalled in the entire Viridian Empire!

Everyone spiritedly discussed the matters Nie Yan revealed. It was hard to contain the excitement in their hearts. The future of the company looked brighter than ever. Their foray into the virtual reality business was guaranteed to be a success!

"From now on, Nie Yan will also be involved in the company's affairs. When I'm absent, he can speak on my behalf. His position is equal to mine!" Father Nie announced. His words were undoubtedly a show of acknowledgement. No matter how much money they earned, it was all for their son's sake anyway. Since Nie Yan had shown such ability, he could feel at ease handing everything over.

With Father Nie's words, Nie Yan's status in the company instantly soared to the top!

Father Nie's words held enormous weight. As soon as he made the announcement, everyone looked at Nie Yan with hints of flattery. In the future, the company would definitely be handed over to him. A single thought surfaced in their minds. If they wanted to continue working here, it was crucial to get into his good books!

Nie Yan was also taken aback. After thinking for a bit, he understood that his father was using this as a way for him to gain experience. His heart was moved. His father had never shown him this much approval in the previous timeline.
