Upon learning that the Four Major Guilds had joined forces to blacklist and expel his father, Liu Wenshan, Liu Yang was dumbfounded.
Liu Yang was also stunned.
It was his idea to block Lu Ran.
Because he was envious of Lu Ran’s upgrade speed, and with the mindset of destroying what he couldn’t have.
But he didn’t dare to go himself.
Although he was a rare Professional, Lu Ran was level 23, he couldn’t beat him!
So, he informed his father, Liu Wenshan.
Liu Wenshan, relying on his status as a Battle Banner National Defense Army member and his family’s wealth, directly took people there.
He even offered a hefty reward, flaunted his status as a Battle Banner National Defense Army member, intending to use his identity to suppress Lu Ran, which would have been invincible against someone like Lu Ran from the slums.
But unexpectedly, with just one face-off, four Holy Knights arranged by the Celestial Path Alliance were triggered!
Although there was no fighting, it seemed to violate some rules.
The Four Major Guilds jointly blacklisted him!
And it happened in such a short time, meaning that at least the Four Major Guilds were backing Lu Ran!
"He’s not just some kid from the slums; his true identity is beyond our imagination!" Liu Wenshan gritted his teeth and said.
No wonder Lu Ran upgraded so quickly and so rapidly.
How could someone who could rally the Four Major Guilds to support him be an ordinary person’s child?
The resources he could access must be terrifying!
Ridiculously, he thought he could tempt Lu Ran with five million, no wonder Lu Ran didn’t care at all.
Five million is nothing!
"Dad, it’s okay, even if we don’t join the Four Major Guilds, we can still join other guilds; there are plenty of powerful guilds below the Four Major Guilds." Liu Yang comforted.
"The Four Major Guilds have blacklisted me, expelled me, and jointly boycotted me. In this situation, which guild would dare to take me? Wouldn’t that be going against the Four Major Guilds?" Liu Wenshan asked, turning his head.
Liu Yang was speechless.
"Alas, it might also affect you. Even if you have a rare Profession and level up fast, the Four Major Guilds won’t want you either." Liu Wenshan said bitterly.
"It doesn’t matter, our family is big and immensely wealthy, even if we just do business and don’t join a guild, we’ll never worry about food and clothing for our whole lives. That insignificant Lu Ran still isn’t qualified to control us!" Liu Yang said proudly.
In terms of family background, the Liu Family was indeed considered wealthy.
And they also had their own industry.
But speaking of this, Liu Wenshan suddenly remembered.
The Liu Family’s industry, equipment supplies, and so on, were all in cooperation with Red Leaf Commerce!
Moreover, usually purchasing equipment was also based on his title as a member of the Battle Banner National Defense Army.
Now...
As he was thinking, a message came through the communication device.
[Red Leaf Commerce hereby notifies you that the Liu Family’s supply chain identity in Red Leaf Commerce is canceled, all cooperation is canceled, including but not limited to equipment, potions, and all consumables, hereby notified!]
This single sentence brought Liu Wenshan to rock bottom!
Without his Battle Banner National Defense Army identity, acquiring equipment wasn’t so simple.
Now that Red Leaf Commerce canceled cooperation, he could only act as an individual Professional and sell through normal channels.
The Liu Family’s industry collapsed in an instant!
"Dad, what’s wrong? What news?" Liu Yang asked, seeing Liu Wenshan’s face turn ugly after reading the message on the communication device.
"It was from Red Leaf Commerce, they refused any cooperation with us. We are no longer part of Red Leaf Commerce’s supply chain." Liu Wenshan said numbly.
Red Leaf Commerce has countless supply chains.
The Liu Family is just a small ant among them, it doesn’t matter to Red Leaf Commerce.
Without the Liu Family, there’s the Zhang Family, the Wang Family to cooperate with, everyone is eager to join.
But the Liu Family lost the big tree that was Red Leaf Commerce.
The industry crumbled!
"Dad, it’s okay, we..." Liu Yang instinctively comforted.
Smack!
Before he finished speaking, Liu Wenshan slapped him hard across the face.
Even the usually doting Liu Wenshan couldn’t help but curse: "If it weren’t for you, insisting on causing trouble for Lu Ran, would our Liu Family have become like this? Would I have ended up like this, being boycotted by the Four Major Guilds, and now a rat in a festive year? Okay? I don’t have a mother like you! The industry has collapsed, how will we sell the hoarded equipment? At a stall? As the national level rises, the equipment in our hands will continue to depreciate, upgrading, upgrade your ass! Waiting to die!"
This scene seemed familiar.
It seemed that Liang Shaoyu’s father, Liang Tai, had also disciplined his son like this before.
It must be said, pampered sons often ruin the family.
In such a short time, two families in Black Fire City had fallen, and both had fallen at the hands of Lu Ran!
Meanwhile.
This incident also sparked public discussion.
"What did this Liu Wenshan do? How did he get expelled from the Battle Banner National Defense Army?"
"Under the leadership of the strict and upright Lei Tai, the Battle Banner National Defense Army would clearly punish anyone caught doing something wrong."
"Tsk tsk tsk... not only kicked out of the guild but blacklisted and expelled, never to be hired again!"
"The Four Major Guilds united to boycott, damn, how will Liu Wenshan survive in Huaxia after this?"
"This is killing me, even the Women’s Guild Red Robe Tower issued a statement, haha..."
...
Inside the dungeon at that time.
Just as the Flame Lord’s few people gathered together.
The three guild leaders exchanged glances, and Ye Hongyi looked at the message Yu Qingcang sent on the communication device.
She laughed and said: "Yu Qingcang also issued a statement, after so long, the Four Major Guilds are in agreement for the first time, it sure will cause quite a stir, right?"
Lu Ran, though not knowing exactly what happened.
He roughly guessed it had to do with Liu Yang.
So he asked: "Was there a punishment for that Liu Family? What was the punishment?"
Lei Tai, always straightforward, said directly: "Expelled from the guild, and the Four Major Guilds jointly boycotted, never to be hired!"
Wow!
Lu Ran was taken aback, they really went all out?
After all, the Liu Family didn’t do much, they just blocked him.
But if those four Holy Knights hadn’t appeared, the Liu Family would have definitely taken action.
Liu Xinxin softly said: "What? Do you think this punishment was too much?"
To the three guild leaders’ surprise, Lu Ran shook his head and said: "If those four Holy Knights hadn’t shown up at the time, and I being just an ordinary Undead Mage unable to protect myself, I might have died at their hands, this punishment, of course, isn’t too much."
At the same time.
Lu Ran also roughly understood why the Four Major Guilds made such a big deal out of it.
Actually, silently blacklisting Liu Wenshan would suffice, but they pompously issued a statement. First, no one could tie it to Lu Ran, so it’s not risky.
Secondly, it was also a show of sincerity from the Four Major Guilds, or perhaps the nation, to prove their support for Lu Ran and give him plenty of face!
Lu Ran chose to walk with the nation, and in return, the nation would provide him with a transcendent status and identity!
In Huaxia, no one could touch Lu Ran!
Just like Liu Xinxin had said, in this global data-driven world where the strong eat the weak, one’s identity and status need to match one’s strength.
After that, the four of them continued clearing the dungeon until dinner time.
Seeing that it was almost time.
After finishing the Flame Lord, Liu Xinxin said: "That’s enough, Lu Ran, go ahead and clear the 54th floor, give Nanami a little shock, then let’s go eat."
