Chapter 80 It's Not Easy to Be a Leader
"One-star holy swordsman, Ivan Bolt, I get annoyed when I see this Shabi!"
When Lin Feng was looking at the other person, Taylor next to him showed an unhappy expression.
"Do you have a grudge against him?" Lin Feng glanced sideways.
"He is a hypocritical person who only knows how to shout slogans and make empty promises to his subordinates all day long, and there are still a bunch of idiots who just follow his lead."
"So what's his problem with you?"
"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The two major alliances each have tens of thousands of people to support. Resources are in a state of competition, so they are naturally hostile."
"I see."
The attention was turned back to the two holy sword masters.
When the holy sword master of the Merlin family saw Ivan Bolt coming, the sword in his hand made a buzzing sound.
"Ivan Bolt, leader of the King's World, nice to meet you!"
"Duncan Merlin, captain of the Merlin family guard, nice to meet you!"
The two men met for the first time, stretched out their hands and shook hands, and the invisible momentum collided secretly, and they had already fought for several rounds.
Suddenly, Duncan Merlyn lost his momentum.
Ivan Bolt also lost his momentum over there.
They both smiled at the same time.
"I heard that you raised the ticket price to 50 silver coins?" Ivan Bolt asked.
This question immediately received a response from everyone present, and the voices of resistance began to emerge again.
"We all work for the Emperor. This is not the Merlin family's one-man show, and I cannot make the decision." Duncan Merlin said.
"There are tens of millions of adventurers in our capital, most of whom make a little money by entering the abyss. These 50 silver coins are a huge increase. I understand the recent situation. Can you give me, Ivan Bolt, a favor and be flexible?" Ivan Bolt said.
After these words were spoken, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Ivan Bolt is on everyone's side, and he is worthy of being the famous leader of the world.
"Did you hear that? This guy always talks like this. Who does he think he is? Why should we give him face?" Different from everyone else's reaction, Taylor muttered.
"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this..." Lin Feng looked at Taylor strangely, as if he was scolding him.
This is not a public grudge at all, it's more like a personal grudge.
On the other side, Duncan Merlin pondered for a while and suddenly laughed.
"It's not impossible. I heard that King's World is the largest alliance in Maple Leaf Capital. My Merlin Family is expanding its army. If King's World is willing to work with the Merlin Family, then this part of the ticket fee can be waived. From now on, all members of King's World can enter the Abyss at the original price, no, half of the original price!"
There was a sudden rustling in the field.
"What a great deal! Half the original price, so I can enter the abyss with just 5 silver coins!"
"Come on! There's no way it can be that easy! This is obviously an attempt to take over the world of kings!"
"Just recruit them, it doesn't matter where you go."
"The food at Duke Merlin's house is not so easy to digest."
When Ivan Bolt heard Duncan Merlin say this, he was not angry.
"I appreciate your kindness. Most of us in King's World are adventurers, and our greatest characteristic is that we value freedom. King's World only provides them with a platform for protection and development, and will not restrict their stay. If you really can't make an exception, then forget it. Here are 50 gold coins, which is the ticket fee for 100 of us."
As he spoke, Ivan Bolt took out a cloth bag.
There was a heavy sound of metal hitting each other.
There was an uproar in the venue.
"Are you kidding me? Chief Ivan actually compromised!"
"That puts us in a difficult position! We can't afford that much money!"
"What can you do to him? We are not from the King's World, we are just commoners, he can't help us!"
"Ivan is such a coward! I'm so mad at him!"
Regardless of the noise in the venue, after taking the gold coins, Duncan Merlin made way for the entrance.
Ivan Bolt waved to the hundred-man group behind him and entered the abyss.
The long team disappeared at the entrance of the abyss, catching everyone present off guard.
"See? Ivan Bolt left everyone hanging. He could come up with so many gold coins, but other ordinary people couldn't. Isn't this a disguised way of approving the Merlin family's actions?"
"The Abyss Black Rock City is about to open, and the Merlin family is obviously going to intervene and raise the ticket price. The fewer people go in, the better for them."
"Let's wait and see. The people from the church just left. Someone will definitely come over soon. Let them have another game of gambling."
"By the way, the King's World has led a group of 100 people in. What are your plans for the City of Glory?"
As he was speaking, a message scroll appeared in Taylor's hand.
After signaling to Lin Feng, the two walked to a slightly open area.
At this time, a female magician in a yellow magic robe ran over.
"Lisa, what's going on? What do those old guys mean?" Taylor pulled the female magician aside and asked without turning her back to Lin Feng.
"Chief, as soon as you left, the higher-ups started to voice their opposition. They don't want to go to the Abyss Dungeon to die, nor do they want to form a group of a hundred people to go head-to-head with King of the World." Lisa said anxiously.
"These damn old guys...what else is going on?"
"That's it... Duke Merlin's son, Steve Merlin, led his team into the capital and has already gone to the palace to meet the king. Upon hearing the news, several high-ranking officials hurried to the Merlin family's residence..."
"Traitors! They have long wanted to join forces with these nobles. I'm not even dead yet, yet they dare to go looking for them in private! How many people are there?"
"More than a thousand people, most of them are the backbone of the alliance."
"Damn! You're a traitor!"
"besides……"
"what else!"
"There is a voice in the alliance now saying that you, the leader, are not worthy of your position and that you only have your current position because of your father's influence. The last time you led the team into the dungeon, you caused heavy losses to the alliance and you always act on impulse. They are going to impeach you and kick you out of this position."
Taylor's joints made crackling sounds and he was on the verge of rage.
Lin Feng could even feel the murderous aura coming out of Taylor wantonly.
Suddenly, Taylor calmed down.
"Lisa, go back and write down the names of those who are dissatisfied with me. Then gather a team that firmly supports me and gather at the boundary monument on the day when Black Rock City opens."
"You intend to ..."
"I'm going to go explore the abyss first. I'm relying on you for the next few days."
"Okay, Chief!"
After giving Lisa a few more instructions, she returned to the city.
Taylor turned to face Lin Feng, his face looking a little more haggard.
She looked up and saw Lin Feng staring at her face.
"It made you laugh."
"It seems that it is not easy for you to be a leader."
"It's just bad luck, so you understand why I need your help?"
"I understand, but I also want you to do me a favor."
"What's the deal?"
"Kill Steve Merlin."
