Chapter 1052: Hundred Ghost’s Assistance
Although Natasha expected a peace talk wouldn’t be easy to succeed, she didn’t expect the Vanguard Guild to be extremely sly.
Rather than outright rejecting her request, they decided to postpone the peace talk and gave a logical reason as an excuse.
To summarize this sly action, it meant that they couldn’t do anything about it to criticize or even attempt some sabotage.
The Illuminati had already caused many first-rate guilds to be wary of them.
So if news were to spread that they were committing sabotage or attempting to ruin an upstart guild, then such publicity would easily invoke public anger.
There was a limit to how much one could act overbearing in the Divine World. Not even the Reaver Guild dared to be overbearing against multiple organizations and people in the early stages either. They only dared to throw their weight into their specific territory and expand a little bit.
"This is why I said not to mess with them for the time being!" Gao Zhong harrumphed and leaned on his chair. "This upstart guild is like an unkillable cockroach. You can try to step on them, but they will retaliate in a fierce manner."
"Even the Super Guild Lethal Corp failed to accomplish anything and was forced to mind their own business." Hundred Ghost clamored, clearly supporting Gao Zhong’s statement in full with evidence.
When the other higher-ups noticed Hundred Ghost was taking the spotlight to support Gao Zhong again, their facial complexion turned ugly.
Once again, they failed to take the limelight in time and lost the initiative to Hundred Ghost.
