Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Yi paused in his pacing, and as he slightly opened his wings, his feathers instantly burst open.

His voice changed: "They took them all?!"

Xiao dared not utter a sound: "Yes."

boom--

All the furnishings and decorations in the council chamber were destroyed.

The impact also destroyed all the windows on all four sides.

Her face was almost contorted in pain: "She's courting death!"

The guards standing outside the door burst in: "Your Excellency!"

Yi: "Get lost!"

Upon meeting Shang Yi's gaze, the guards felt a chill run down their spines and immediately retreated.

Xiao dared not utter a word, waiting for Yi to calm down.

However, the commotion still attracted a lot of attention, especially from customers who had already completed their transactions but were still waiting for their free gifts.

They had been harassing the shop assistants, but upon hearing the commotion, they all rushed over.

Seeing that things were not going well, the other shareholders also rushed over first.

"What's going on?"

"In such a short time, the transaction volume has already reached 1000 orders. Now there are more and more people outside. Yi, where's your free gift?"

"Yi, what's the arrangement? Why haven't you distributed the free gifts yet? Those customers are about to barge in."

Yi closed his eyes, suppressing his earlier rage, and turned around, saying, "There's been a slight problem, but it's nothing serious. I'll handle it quickly. You guys cover for me..."

"You're wrong about that."

The Scale Clan shareholder complained, "When you invited us to invest, we made it very clear that my investment would only be for a share of the profits, not for management or operations. Now, on the very first day, problems have arisen and I'm being asked to step in. How can I trust your exchange to make money for me in the future?"

The mechanical shareholders also objected: "Your Excellency, we invested based on your abilities and the support of the Feathered Spirit Emperor. Why hasn't the Feathered Spirit Emperor attended the exchange's opening ceremony, even though the blessing ceremony ended so long ago?"

The Wuling Clan shareholder said, "Yi, on the very first day the exchange opened, you made such a huge mistake. According to the terms of the contract, you should be held responsible for this."

Tanlai of the Titan race had a bad feeling: "What went wrong? Could it be that the Didi Beast blood you promised is gone? What about my things?"

Other shareholders also started to pursue accountability in various ways.

From childhood to adulthood, Yi had never experienced such pressure and grievances.

She smashed a pillar in half, and only after all the shareholders fell silent did she coldly say, "We're all in the same boat now. The exchange doesn't belong to me alone. If you don't want to help, then let things develop as they are. In the end, I won't be the only one who loses everything."

The shareholders fell silent.

Tanlai: "I need my things now. Once you give them to me, I'll go to the front and help you manage the employees."

Yi: "We'll talk about other things later. Whether the exchange can stay open depends on whether we can get through this together today. No matter what method you use, you must at least buy us half an hour!"

She finished speaking and disappeared from everyone's sight without saying goodbye.

These shareholders remain, facing the customers who come to them.

The Wuling Clan shareholders immediately activated the magic array barrier.

Nightwing Clan Shareholders: "My lords, what should we do?"

She was the lowest-ranking of the shareholders and a subordinate race of the Feathered Spirit Clan, so she had never dared to speak up. But now that Yi was gone, she felt she had to say something.

Of these seven shareholders, only two are businessmen.

She was one of them.

The remaining five shareholders were only brought in by Yi because of their backgrounds and large amounts of capital.

If she can't quell the anger of the customers outside, and Yi returns, she will be the one held accountable.

The Nightwing Clan shareholder cautiously suggested, "Should one of us go out and calm the guests outside? Or perhaps we could get some substitutes for the Didi Beast Blood to help them calm down?"

The Crystal Core Clan shareholder frowned: "What are you taking? Just have the guards stop them."

A Scaled Clan shareholder said, "The first batch of participants in the transaction were all low-level races who came for the freebies. In my opinion, we should just suppress them by force. Anyway, these people were not our exchange's real customers."

The Witch Spirit Clan shareholder said, "No, these lower races are the main customers for future Source Pills. We should appease them..."

In the ruins-like meeting hall, the shareholders disagreed.

The customers outside were becoming increasingly angry because of the obstruction by the Feathered Guards.

A Shadowmane Clan customer roared, "Where is the Didi Beast Blood?! I came here specifically for the Didi Beast Blood! Give me the Didi Beast Blood now!"

Another forging clan customer chimed in, "I trusted the Feathered Spirits to store my equipment here, but the Earl didn't even keep his promise? Then I'm not storing it here anymore! I want it back!"

Customers of other races also became angry and agitated, demanding either the immediate return of the free gift or the return of the item.

Without any instructions, the Feathered Guards could only push the guests out.

The Shadowmane Clan merchant was pushed to the ground, utterly aggrieved: "Do you Feathered Spirits look down on us lower races?! Otherwise, why didn't you push the Feathered Spirits to my left and the Witch Spirits to my right, but only me?! Are these freebies only given to higher races and not to us?!"

These words immediately aroused suspicion among other lower and middle-class races, who began to question them.

The Feathered Guards had no idea what Yi was really thinking.

But they were equally aggrieved.

They were simply maintaining order and didn't actually push anyone over, yet they were slandered like this.

A young Feathered Spirit Guard couldn't help but say, "I didn't push you at all! It's clearly because your attributes are low, your strength and agility are insufficient, and you lost your balance!"

The Shadowmane Clan merchant immediately shouted, "So you really look down on us inferior races! Fine! Since your Feathered Spirit Clan exchange looks down on us inferior races, what's the point of having us, inferior races, trade here! Give me my money back! Return my goods to me!"

"Return it! Return it!"

The customers immediately erupted in riots.

The Feathered Spirit Guards had no choice but to take up arms as a deterrent.

Such actions only angered the customers who surrounded and watched.

The two sides remained locked in a stalemate.

Li Zhi was thoroughly enjoying his performance with this Shadow Mane Clan clone, and was wondering how Yi would break the deadlock when Shadow sent a message:

[As you predicted, Yi is currently buying up Didi Beast Blood in various black markets and trading markets. She's offering a higher price than the current market price, but has only managed to acquire 3 units. Now she's raising the price, which has reached 30 gold coins per unit, even higher than the price during the beast tide.]

[The price of the Didi Beast blood you bought yesterday has tripled. Do you want to sell it now?]
