Li Yunque's decisive attitude left everyone present somewhat bewildered.
However, since he was willing to give up the President position, their objective had been achieved, and they didn't bother saying anything more, only urging Li Yunque to hurry up.
But Li Yunque was unhurried and even strongly insisted that everyone go together.
His reasoning was:
It's better for everyone to witness such a handover.
Hearing this.
Liu Lao nodded slightly, and a dozen people followed him out of the Adventurer's Guild's door.
They walked towards Li Yunque's residence.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the Adventurer's Guild's door, everyone felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.
Today, the number of Adventurer on the street seemed to have increased.
Normally at this time, people were either inside their houses contemplating how to use today's Dungeon entries, or they had already gone to various Dungeons to earn their daily living.
It was the first time there were so many people on the street, and their gazes kept falling on them.
These gazes...
For some reason, they felt somewhat unfriendly.
"Liu Lao..."
One of the management staff tugged on Liu Lao's sleeve.
He wanted to say something.
The next second, he bumped into a solid chest.
"Damn it, are you blind?" This management staff member looked up, ready to curse, only to find that, unknowingly, they were already surrounded by people.
Li Yunque, who had been walking in front, was nowhere to be seen.
Hundreds of Adventurer surrounded their dozen or so people, and judging by their expressions... they seemed to mean trouble.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you want to do?"
"Do you know who we are? In broad daylight, if you dare to touch us, you'll regret it!"
"Yes, yes, yes... that's right..."
Under the gaze of hundreds of Adventurer, the voices of these higher-ups grew softer and softer.
Finally, they huddled together.
Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads.
One of the Adventurer spoke, "Of course we know who you are. You... are the ones who cut off our livelihoods. Heaven and Earth are vast, but Lord Chen is the greatest. If you want to cut off our livelihoods, don't blame us for being impolite."
"Livelihood? What livelihood?"
A high-ranking official tugged on Liu Gongzi's sleeve, anxiously saying, "Liu Gongzi, didn't you say you'd already connected with Lord Chen? Quickly tell them to back off!"
"Ah, I, I, I..."
Liu Gongzi stammered, unable to articulate anything coherent.
The others saw his expression and their hearts immediately sank.
"Liu Gongzi, you... you didn't trick us, did you?"
"That's right, speak, Liu Gongzi."
"Quickly say something..."
Facing the relentless questioning from the other higher-ups, Liu Gongzi simply lowered his head and remained silent.
It's over!
A dozen high-ranking officials' vision went dark, and they nearly fainted.
Turning to look at the Adventurers beside them again, they felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
At this moment.
A high-ranking official saw a dozen people from the Security Protection Team standing in the distance and urgently waved at them, "Come quickly, these people are going to commit violence in public, come quickly and protect us."
They were very far away.
The Security Protection Team members couldn't hear what they were saying, only vaguely saw a few high-ranking officials jumping around, gesticulating.
One of the team members, cracking melon seeds, asked strangely, "What are those old guys saying?"
"I don't know, do they want us to act?"
The person cracking melon seeds shook his head, "That's not good, we hit much harder than the Adventurers. With their old arms and legs, we might just kill them."
"That's right, our identities also make it inconvenient to act. Let's just watch from the side, lest they really get beaten to death."
If someone was beaten to death, it would have a bad impact.
It would also have a certain impact on the entire town's rating.
Regarding this.
The Adventurers were also aware of this.
Therefore, when they acted, they avoided vital areas and did not deliver fatal blows.
A moment later.
Screams echoed in this area.
"Don't hit my face, please don't hit my face."
"Ouch, who kicked my balls..."
"Ah, gently, my old bones!"
It's unclear how long the screams lasted before gradually subsiding.
Most of these dozen high-ranking officials were old men with old arms and legs, not very resilient to beatings. It was better for Liu Gongzi; he was young and could take a beating, and his screams were loud.
A few hours later...
Liu Lao fled Tidal Town overnight with his entire family, and the other dozen high-ranking officials all claimed illness and retired to their hometowns.
The entire Tidal Town underwent a major reshuffle.
Li Yunque then re-selected personnel to take over various positions.
A certain statement on the Great Xia Nevernight City interface was also quietly withdrawn with the end of this matter.
The content of the statement was also very simple.
The general idea was that Great Xia Nevernight City had been targeted by some lawless elements, and Lord Chen stated that he could no longer operate. Then it stated that President Li Yunque was being held hostage, and these lawless elements would later appear at the Adventurer's Guild's entrance with him.
As for what to do...
That would depend on the Adventurers' own thoughts.
It can only be said that after a month of development, Chen Yu's prestige in Tidal Town was completely different from when he first organized the Resident Evil competition. At that time, if Liu Lao had made small moves behind the scenes, there might have been some minor trouble.
But now...
Chen Yu's prestige has deeply permeated the hearts of every adventurer; without Lord Chen, there would be no Tidal Town today. This is a recognized fact among all Adventurer.
In this situation, a single word from Chen Yu was akin to an imperial decree.
He was not like those Dungeon Lords in other regions who were caught in internal competition; in Tidal Town, Chen Yu no longer needed to curry favor with anyone. On the contrary, everyone relied on him.
Of course, this was based on his ability to constantly introduce new, fun Dungeons.
If the Dungeons Chen Yu constructed were no different from others, then the situation would be another matter entirely.
Everything is built on profit.
Previously, when the Resident Evil competition ended, Liu Lao had even planned to make trouble for Chen Yu after the Dark Tide concluded.
However, with the developments over the past month or so.
Chen Yu had gradually become the most sought-after Lord in the entire Tidal Town, and he held a monopolistic position.
This was truly terrifying...
Later, Liu Lao and a group of old fellows had completely abandoned the idea of opposing Chen Yu.
They only thought about how to oust Li Yunque.
Because as Tidal Town developed, they gradually saw the town's future prospects. The position of Adventurer's Guild President in such a promising town would surely rise in value.
In the future, whether it was assisting Baiye City in suppressing Tidal Town.
Or staying in Tidal Town to develop, it was all very important.
Originally, Liu Lao had repeatedly instructed his son to find a way to connect with Lord Chen.
Who would have thought...
His son promised wholeheartedly and guaranteed that he had already established a connection, only for it to end up like this.
