Chapter 1761: Conditions
Vol’jin’s words were harsh and stern, but the guild leaders naturally wouldn’t be afraid. However, this punishment was too severe. Even though they were extremely dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do.
Many guild leaders had already made up their minds, thinking that there was no way they would make things easy for Li Yao. They planned to engage in non-violent non-cooperation, refusing to cooperate properly. In the end, even if they failed, it would naturally be considered Li Yao’s responsibility.
Li Yao stood in the back, watching those indignant guild leaders below with a slight sneer. They only saw the benefits of becoming a Military Governor, not considering any of the drawbacks. Did they really think he wanted to be this Military Governor?
If he wanted a military rank, there were many safer ways to get it than this.
Currently, he is at the faction level, and death would cause him to fall. For compensating the origin and increasing quality, what does a military rank count for?
However, it couldn’t really be blamed on those guild leaders. The new Warlord role was clearly seen by the faction as the top rookie, and he could participate in the highest-level meetings.
This was not just about showing off or pretending to be important; it contained huge benefits, not just for the individual but also a major transfer of benefits to the guild. Even without corruption, leading the guild through legitimate means would bring endless benefits.
Li Yao gestured to a few leaders, stepped forward, and stood at the forefront, speaking calmly: "I know that many people below are dissatisfied with this appointment. If I say that I actually do not want to be this Military Governor, some will surely accuse me of putting on a show. So how about this, I’ll list a few conditions: If anyone can meet them, I’ll hand over this position without hesitation."
Instantly, there was a sneering guild leader: "You talk a good game now that you’re standing there; it still depends on what you say."
"Exactly, exactly. Who knows what shameless conditions you’ll list." Another guild leader agreed.
