God of Illusions - Chapter 1047: Dai Xiaochan’s Analysis!
“That would be my pleasure!” replied Dai Xiaochan excitedly. Her heart was at ease after getting Bai Xiaofei’s agreement but immediately filled with tension. What does the leader of Starnet’s miracle generation have in mind?
Bai Xiaofei led Dai Xiaochan to the reception room, where they were greeted by a lavish dining table.
“Don’t tell me that you already knew the reason why I came here, President Bai?” Dai Xiaochan no longer put a limit on what Bai Xiaofei was capable of. If he told her now that he inherited Revelation’s divination talent, she would probably believe him.
“No, actually. I prepared this for everyone, but who’d have thought they were in such a hurry to leave? I naturally wouldn’t do meaningless courtesies and keep them here for dinner,” replied Bai Xiaofei honestly, not daring to make himself seem too formidable at all, because he felt something was wrong about Dai Xiaochan…
If it weren’t for her proposal being too attractive, he would have found an excuse to send her off.
“Then I’ll make myself at home.” Dai Xiaochan sat down at the table with a smile.
Bai Xiaofei and Fang Ye also took their seats. Having only three people, the big table looked empty.
“You haven’t finished what you were about to say, right, Miss Dai? I’m very curious. The other groups are obviously more powerful than our Illusion Demon, so why did you choose us?”
When Bai Xiaofei asked this question, Fang Ye’s nervous heart finally calmed down. This is the normal reaction, alright? You’ve nearly scared me to death!
“There are many reasons, I will tell you one by one.”
Dai Xiaochan no longer had a refined bearing about her as she acted like someone who had just escaped from a famine. She was so busy eating that she barely had any gaps for talking.
“First of all, the other groups have fully developed and their internal interests are complicated. There are too many relationships to get through in order to cooperate with them. One careless mistake and our painstaking efforts will be wasted; not to mention that we may even lose our lives. On the contrary, Illusion Demon is very simple. According to our investigation, while Illusion Demon has many elites, there are only a handful of managers who obviously only listen to President Bai. Regarding power concentration, Illusion Demon has an absolute advantage. To put it bluntly, as long as President Bai agrees to my proposal, then it’s equivalent to having convinced the entire Illusion Demon.”
After finishing the first point in one breath, Dai Xiaochan hurriedly took a sip of soup.
“Secondly, our investigation also indicated that the Snow Kingdom, who has never shown any particular interests in any merchant groups, uncharacteristically completely cut off the supply of goods from everyone to fully support Illusion Demon. And it was not the only one. Windlove City, who is far away from the Windless Zone and a holy place for trading stolen goods, had been a money maker for Unify Business. But after you arrived there with a few students, their branch disappeared and Illusion Demon took over the business market of Windlove City.”
“Most importantly, after your visit to Ethereal Empire, the attitude of the Ethereal Merchant Group toward Illusion Demon took a great turn; going from being wary and oppressing to strongly supporting. Illusion Demon even became the only one that could go around Ethereal unimpeded.”
“Based on all this, I’ve concluded that the future of Illusion Demon definitely won’t be simple and it’s only a matter of time before you catch up with the major merchant groups. However, as a newly rising star, it still has its shortcomings, which can be mended by our Amethyst Merchant House. Therefore, I thought that our probability of cooperation is much greater.”
Dai Xiaochan’s second point explained why she came here. She saw the potential and demand of Illusion Demon, which was the necessary condition for the Amethyst Merchant House to take this gamble!
“But of course, I only finally made up my mind to propose this cooperation after watching your exchanges with the other groups’ representatives.”
Dai Xiaochan wiped her mouth. Upon finishing eating, she instantly looked serious.
“Whether Unify Business colludes with Shadow Death or not, as long as we reach a deal, I can turn Unify into a place for Shadow Death to sell their stolen goods. In other words, Unify Business is finished, and I believe the other groups are very willing to beat the dog while it’s down.”
“Meanwhile, everyone knows that Multihouse is bound to intervene in the matter of Cloudveil. However, I know them too well. Selling stuff? They’re okay. But messing around in wars? They can’t even compare to a lesser general. I believe that no matter how much they invest in this war, President Bai won’t let them get out of this safely.”
“Then, the situation becomes very clear. Of the eight major groups, Ethereal will not go against Illusion Demon, and excluding our Amethyst Merchant House, Unify is already a fish on the chopping board while Multihouse is about to make the worst decision in their history; Babel, Vivid Wing, and Devphath each have their own limitations; and Violet Moon is just a puppet of Violethorn.”
“I can already see the pattern where the eight major groups go down toward their demise, and your Illusion Demon is the key to open this future. As long as you capture Cloudveil, the origin ore mining industry that has never been monopolized by any business group will become your biggest support. Coupled with the financial resources of Amethyst, Illusion Demon will be unstoppable!”
Upon finishing her speech, Dai Xiaochan looked at Bai Xiaofei. I’ve said everything I have to say. It’s your turn.
Bai Xiaofei naturally understood what her look meant, but his reaction was nothing Dai Xiaochan would have expected.
“I understand, Thank you for your analysis, Miss Dai. You really deserve your reputation as a business genius. Did you memorize all of it, Fang Ye?” Bai Xiaofei turned to Fang Ye.
“Every word. Don’t worry, Brother Fei.” Fang Ye nodded with an evil chuckle.
Watching their exchange, Dai Xiaochan was shocked, then enraged. She slapped the table and stood up. “Bai Xiaofei! What do you mean!!!”
If look could kill, Bai Xiaofei would have been absolutely dead.
“Don’t get emotional, Miss Dai. As you said, it’s only a matter of time before Illusion Demon thrives. Then tell me, why should I bow to others? You analyzed our Illusion Demon but have not once mentioned any details of the cooperation. Your idea is that the cooperation will be led by the Amethyst Merchant House, right?”
“Since I dare to take the other groups head on, I already showed my stance. Cloudveil is my gift to a dear friend and no matter who intervenes, I will not let them leave alive. Whether Cloudveil becomes Illusion Demon’s support or not is not within my consideration.”
“If Miss Dai has said all you want to say, then you can leave now,” Bai Xiaofei concluded and stood up with a smile.
However, Dai Xiaochan’s reaction caught the two men off guard…
