Hearing Ling Feilong attempt to fawn over him and his respectful attitude while doing so, Shi Feng couldn't help but sigh.

The shoe was on the other foot now!

Fate truly knew how to toy with people.

Judging from Ling Feilong's tone, Shi Feng could discern that Ling Feilong intended to ride on his coattails.

"If you wish to recruit me, tell me what sort of benefits you plan to offer first," Shi Feng calmly asked.


"Brother expert, I guarantee that you'll be satisfied. As long as you join Shadow, you'll immediately become an elder of the Guild. Moreover, our Guild has a large backing behind us, and we have plenty of funding, so we can temporarily set your annual salary at one million Credits. In addition, we'll give you 10% of Shadow's shares. I think you should know the value of Guild shares, right? As long as Shadow rises to glory in the future, this 10% will far exceed tens of millions of Credits. No other Guild can offer you this kind of treatment," Ling Feilong explained, very satisfied with himself. His words even moved his own heart.

That was 10% of the Guild's shares!

Right now, all of the Guilds out there only offered high annual salaries when recruiting an expert; none of them would willingly hand over a portion of the Guild's shares. Along with a Guild's growth, the value of its shares would continuously rise. In addition to God's Domain's growth potential, if Shadow properly developed as time went on, this 10% could represent billions of Credits or more. Hence, all the large Guilds would not simply offer their shares, and instead, choose the wise decision of offering a static salary.

"Who's making this promise?" Shi Feng was slightly bewildered. He did not think that Shadow would be so decisive in their actions.

In Shi Feng's previous life, although he was the Guild Leader of Shadow, he did not possess any shares of the Guild. However, Shi Feng had only recently become the Guild Leader at that time, so he did put too much thought into the matter. In the end, the Guild kicked him out. One could say that the shares of a Guild were the true proof of one's authority. If Shi Feng had 10% of the Guild's shares at that time, Lan Hailong would not have dared to casually expel him from the Guild and sever all connections with him.

"Our Guild Leader made this promise. Of course, with your strength, the position of Guild Leader will doubtlessly be yours in the future," Ling Feilong unwaveringly started flattering Shi Feng.

"Oh? Very well," Shi Feng calmly laughed. He then, with a tone as cold as ice, arrogantly said, "Return and tell your Guild Leader this; if you want me to join Shadow, then I want 60% of the Guild's shares and the position of Guild Leader. Otherwise, there's no deal."

Finished speaking, Shi Feng disconnected the call.

Of course, he only said those words as a joke to toy with Ling Feilong. Even if Shadow were willing to hand over 100% of its shares, Shi Feng would still reject the offer without hesitation. He swore that would never again wear the hateful name of Shadow.

He simply said those words because he knew that Ling Feilong, Zhang Luowei, and Lan Hailong could never truly agree to such a request. After all, with 60% of the Guild's shares, Shi Feng would become the head honcho of Shadow; his word would be final. Whether it was Zhang Luowei or Lan Hailong, neither could endure being a subordinate of someone else.


"Such a domineering tone! No wonder he could force Martial Union, who is even stronger than Shadow, to take a huge loss. Unfortunately, he isn't a broad-minded person. If he had accepted the offer, based on the strength he possessed, he could have easily become the Shadow's true boss in the future if he wanted to." Although Ling Feilong admired Shi Feng, he sneered disdainfully as he determined Shi Feng to be a boorish fellow. Yet, without a backer to rely on, it was impossible for Ling Feilong to climb further up the ranks of Shadow. Zhang Luowei trusted Zhou Yuhu much more than Ling Feilong. Ling Feilong was simply an elite member of the Guild in Zhang Luowei's eyes. So, it was imperative that Ling Feilong looked for a reliable backer. Meanwhile, a boor like Shi Feng couldn't be a better backer. Although 60% of the total shares seemed a little high, if Ling Feilong expended a lot of effort, it was not an impossible number to accomplish. "It seems that I'll have to rearrange his words before reporting back to Brother Zhang and Brother Lan."
