Chapter 317: The War God Tribe

When Tuo Ba proposed such conditions suddenly, he must be planning something. As one of the shareholders of the Tuo Ba family, he would never willingly remain under Tuo Ba Hongye. The power struggle between them had just begun.

Tuo Ba raising so much gold at once must be for confronting Tuo Ba Hongye.

“If you can come up with this 600,000 gold, we’ll sign the agreement immediately. If you can’t raise that much, tell me how much you can get. I need at least 50,000 gold, today,” Tuo Ba said. To him, this matter was urgent.

“I can handle it,” Nie Yan replied. He absolutely couldn’t miss this opportunity. If he missed these auction houses, properties, and shops, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Nie Yan’s goal, besides developing the Bull Tribe, was also to become a wealthy tycoon owning countless auction houses, properties, shops, and fortresses, with money pouring in every day. Once it reached a certain scale, he would convert large amounts into credit points.

These auction houses, properties, and shops absolutely couldn’t be missed!

With Nie Yan’s financial resources, acquiring these auction houses, properties, and shops was definitely not a difficult task.

“Where are your auction houses, properties, and shops?” Nie Yan asked. These assets should not be in Carol City but in other cities.

There was only one auction house left in the entire Carol City!

“Nisod City,” Tuo Ba replied.

Nisod City was the second-largest city in the entire Griland, where part of the Tuo Ba family’s wealth was concentrated, controlling a large number of auction houses, properties, shops, and three guilds. Hearing Nisod City, Nie Yan’s eyes lit up. In his previous life, that was the territory of the War God Tribe!

In his past life, the Tuo Ba family had once occupied half of Nisod City, but their plans were disrupted by the sudden rise of the War God Tribe. Nie Yan’s father was quite ambitious, acquiring more than 20 large studios ranked in the top 100 domestically, along with numerous retired soldiers who became professional players, all recruited by Nie’s father. The War God Tribe rose powerfully, sweeping away the three guilds of the Tuo Ba family in Nisod City with an unstoppable force. However, the War God Tribe had serious financial issues, their only asset being an auction house in Nisod City. If Nie Yan took over the Tuo Ba family’s operations in Nisod City and funded the War God Tribe, the War God Tribe’s rise would be unstoppable.

With the Bull Tribe and War God Tribe supporting each other from afar, first dealing with the Triumph Empire, the only forces capable of rivaling them in the entire Griland would be the Battle Blade Bloodthirsty, Mage Alliance, and Holy Guardians!

Nie Yan sensed that Tuo Ba was somewhat different from his usual lazy and casual self, exuding a sharp and determined aura, like a sword drawn from its sheath. Nie Yan was somewhat looking forward to seeing whether Tuo Ba could bring down Tuo Ba Hongye.

“I have one request. Can I transfer all these properties, shops, and fortresses first? I’m willing to pay an additional 6,000 gold per day,” Nie Yan said. He could bring the three auction houses in Nisod City and those shops into the Super Trading Channel, carefully manage them, and the daily profits would be quite good, at least more than 8,000 gold. If managed by Tuo Ba, the daily profit from the turnover would be around 5,000 gold.

“Let’s sign the agreement. I’ll have someone draft the contract,” Tuo Ba said decisively. The conditions Nie Yan proposed were all within his acceptable range. He only needed gold! He could give up operations in Nisod City, but he wanted to take control of all the Tuo Ba family’s operations in Faith! This way, Tuo Ba Hongye’s personal investments in Faith would amount to nothing, and then he could figure out a way to swallow Tuo Ba Hongye’s shares in the real world!

The contract was quickly sent to Nie Yan. After confirming there were no issues, Nie Yan signed his name swiftly.

“I’ll immediately have someone transfer the first installment of 60,000 gold into your personal warehouse,” Nie Yan said. He had Guo Huai arrange for someone to take over the management of the auction houses in Nisod City, and he began incorporating those three auction houses into the Super Trading Channel.

Guo Huai convinced the owner of another auction house in Carol City to join the trading channel, thus forming a monopoly for the Super Trading Channel in Carol City while also dominating a large portion of Nisod City.

Over these three days, Nie Yan attended classes during the day and hunted monsters with his team at night. They discovered that after one exploration, the Cave Lord had become easier to deal with, with significantly reduced difficulty.

After three days of integration, all resources were utilized effectively. With the Super Trading Channel, the auction house business was booming. Additionally, the Star Pharmacy expanded comprehensively, especially in Carol City and Nisod City, where branches of the Star Pharmacy were now spread throughout the entire city. Combined, all projects generated a daily profit of around 20,000 gold. Nie Yan’s speed of accumulating wealth, if made public, would likely shock even those large financial groups. After all, they needed to invest substantial funds to acquire gold, while Nie Yan hadn’t invested a single credit point so far! Nie Yan’s achievements could be described as brilliant!

As usual, Nie Yan logged out of the game. Originally, his mother wanted to have breakfast with him, but upon hearing about an emergency meeting at the company, she hurriedly left. From a phone conversation, Nie Yan vaguely heard mentions of the War God Tribe and Nisod City. He thought for a long time. His operations in Nisod City had already gained considerable momentum. He had heard that his father had already acquired more than ten studios, and the War God Tribe was already on the schedule. It was time for him to confront his father.

To make the War God Tribe even more glorious than in his previous life, never to decline!

Nie Yan drove toward the company, the car his father had bought for him to use. The dark brown sports car looked pretty good. In this life, Nie Yan finally had his own new car. However, he didn’t care much about the brand, something like Solon, reportedly quite expensive.

The villa wasn’t far from the company, just over ten minutes away. Due to its suburban location, the area was well-landscaped, with tree-lined roads all the way.

A modern white building came into Nie Yan’s view. It was brand new, the office building his father had purchased.

Walking into the lobby, there were many people busily working, dressed in uniform, giving an orderly impression.

Relying on his past-life memories, Nie Yan headed toward the meeting room.

A person approached from a distance. The familiar face instantly brought tears to Nie Yan’s eyes. He was tall and muscular, his body solid from regular exercise. His face wasn’t particularly handsome but had a determined and resolute demeanor. Calculating the time, he should be twenty-seven years old.

He was Nie Yan’s cousin, whom relatives often called A Chen. They used to play together when they were young, and he was very close to Nie Yan’s parents. Recently, he had been with Nie Yan’s parents on the border for a long time.

He shared a deep bond with Nie Yan’s family.

He had been away on business recently, and Nie Yan hadn’t met him until now, making this their first encounter.

Seeing Nie Yan approach, A Chen’s eyes lit up with delight as he walked toward him.

“Good kid, you’ve grown taller. I almost didn’t recognize you,” A Chen laughed heartily, giving Nie Yan’s shoulder a heavy pat. “You’re more solid now. My parents said you’re pretty capable now, even able to beat Uncle Lin. I didn’t believe them, but now I see you’ve got some real strength.”

Suddenly, A Chen made a move, sweeping his left arm toward Nie Yan.

Nie Yan quickly grabbed A Chen’s arm with his left hand. A Chen tried to move his arm but couldn’t free it, showing a look of surprise and delight: “Your grip is pretty good. Next time, let’s have a real fight.”

A Chen was just joking, but he didn’t expect Nie Yan to actually have some strength. He couldn’t help but feel excited.

Nie Yan rolled his eyes. This guy was a martial arts enthusiast, always needing to fight someone every day, or else he’d feel restless. However, A Chen was extremely warm-hearted. After their company collapsed in the past life, A Chen had beaten up Nie Yan’s uncle, aunt, and a few others, nearly causing a fatality, and later ended up in prison.

Nie Yan had visited him several times before, witnessing A Chen’s declining health—his body growing thinner—yet he still greeted Nie Yan with a radiant smile, appearing carefree, which made Nie Yan’s heart ache.

Seeing A Chen again, Nie Yan’s heart ached, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.

Nie Yan took a deep breath to calm himself.

“Where are my parents?” Nie Yan smiled slightly and asked.

“In the meeting room, come with me,” A Chen said. Normally, the meeting room wasn’t a place anyone could enter freely, but he disregarded such rules.

Nie Yan followed A Chen, passing through corridors equipped with strict surveillance devices, entering the meeting room.

The meeting room was crowded, with around thirty to forty people, all high-level company executives and leaders of various studios.

With a quick glance, Nie Yan’s gaze locked onto five individuals. These five were several major figures in the domestic gaming industry.

The leftmost person in the front was a young man around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, dressed casually and very relaxed. He was the head of the Ice Wind Studio, a top-five domestic studio known as Cold Ice Speech.

Beside him was a middle-aged man in his forties with a square face, the head of the Azure Dragon Studio, ranked ninth domestically.

Beside them were the Thunder God Studio, Moonlit Night Studio, and Flame Fire Studio, all ranked within the top thirty domestically.

With all these major studios gathered together, assembling such a group wasn’t something that could be achieved merely with money; it also required connections and relationships. Nie Yan’s father had established this metal trading business with very solid backing.

Numerous influential figures in various games had gathered here, bringing together such a group was a tremendous amount of energy.

In Nie Yan’s past life, the War God Tribe’s ability to dominate and threaten the Triumph Empire’s position wasn’t without reason.

However, when Nie Yan looked at them, there was a hint of condescension, because he was the Rogue Nie Yan!
