Chapter 987: Chapter 983: Understand Her Bottom Line, There’s Only Compromise in Front of Her

Wen Xin walked into Alfredo’s office hand in hand with Mu Chengxi.

Alfredo looked at Mu Chengxi, and his face immediately darkened. He didn’t understand why Wen Xin had brought him along.

Wen Xin was not in the mood to pay attention to Alfredo’s expression. She pulled out a chair across from the desk and sat down facing Alfredo.

“I think there’s no need for the Elders Guild to remain.”

Wen Xin casually lifted her head to look at Alfredo, her tone mild as she spoke, but to Alfredo, it sounded like a significant bombshell.

“Wait, did I hear something wrong just now? Did you say… the Elders Guild?”

Alfredo shifted his gaze from Mu Chengxi back to Wen Xin, looking at her incredulously. He couldn’t believe his ears; his first thought was that he was hallucinating.

“Little princess, are you sure you’re not joking?”

“I am not joking…” Wen Xin’s sharp eyes revealed seriousness. She pulled out a USB drive from her pocket and placed it in front of Alfredo, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

“This USB contains records of all members of the Elders Guild, everything they’ve done is in here, not one of them is clean. Do you want to take a look? Or do you already know?”

Wen Xin’s sharp gaze bore into Alfredo, giving him no chance to evade. She had only one goal–to make Alfredo cooperate with her.

Alfredo met Wen Xin’s penetrating gaze and sighed in resignation, “You know what I know, but the Elders Guild has always been a part of the Independent State. Whether it was you, your predecessors, or your successors, no one could do anything about them!”

In Alfredo’s mind, their only option was to compromise with the Elders Guild, as long as the Guild didn’t do anything excessively intolerable, and they would have to helplessly indulge them.

Wen Xin looked at Alfredo and smiled coldly. Her fingers tapped lightly on the table.

“I truly feel pity for you. I thought, by not coming back and leaving the Independent State in your hands, you could handle it… but now I see, you are even less than a puppet.”

“Puppets are of use to them, but you, you are useless. They don’t respect you at all…”

“Forget it, talking so much is useless. I will handle this myself.”

After speaking, Wen Xin stood up, hardly giving Alfredo another glance, and walked out of Alfredo’s office, hand in hand with Mu Chengxi.

After Wen Xin left Alfredo’s office, the bald man hurried in and, seeing Alfredo standing next to the desk, asked nervously and cautiously.

“Chairman, are you alright?”

Upon hearing the bald man’s voice, Alfredo turned his head to glance at him and pulled out an office chair to sit down.

“Wen Xin is going to make a move; I fear the Elders Guild can’t be saved this time.”

The bald man was shocked by Alfredo’s words; he couldn’t believe what Alfredo said and couldn’t grasp the implications. The Elders Guild had been around for so many years; how could it possibly be doomed?

“Chairman, what exactly does the little princess intend to do by coming back this time? Is she really going to take action against the Elders Guild? That seems unlikely, doesn’t it?”

The bald man thought the same as Alfredo: the Elders had been around for so many years and must have an unshakeable position. He thought Wen Xin’s plans were overly ambitious.

“It’s no joke. Others might not be able to do it, but Wen Xin definitely can. Whatever Wen Xin wants to do is unstoppable. She has veto power over everything in Independent State, including the Elders Guild. As long as she determines that these people’s actions are harmful to the interests of Independent State, she has the authority to disband the Elders Guild…”

Alfredo rubbed his face hard with both hands, sighing with a sense of helplessness. He felt that he was in a very difficult position, always striving to do things well, but now it seemed, all his efforts were in vain and didn’t align with Wen Xin’s expectations.

From the moment Wen Xin appeared, Alfredo had roughly guessed her intentions. Wen Xin had never thought about compromising….

The bald man saw Alfredo’s troubled expression, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, “Chairman, how we handle this is crucial. If we reveal this information to a few of the Elders, they will trust you even more… then…”

“It’s not possible…” Alfredo instantly interrupted the bald man, not allowing him to express any thought of betraying Wen Xin.

“Chairman, our plan is already underway. If it’s ruined by the little princess, then all our plans will have fallen through!”

The bald man was persistent in trying to persuade Alfredo; they had been scheming for a long time, and just as they were about to see results, the bald man didn’t want Alfredo to give up!

“Chairman, if we disclose the information to the Elders Guild, they will surely lower their guard! Even if the little princess blames us later, we can explain ourselves. As long as our plan succeeds, she will see all the efforts we made for her… she will…”

“She won’t… The ones who betray her, in her world, are directly sentenced to death, no matter your reasons, you don’t get a chance to explain. So, no matter the intentions behind your actions, as long as you betray her, she won’t give you a chance to ask for her forgiveness.”

Alfredo understood Wen Xin very well. He knew her limits, and he also knew that Wen Xin approaching him was not to negotiate but to warn him not to engage in dual-dealings and regrettable actions.

Therefore… he had completely understood everything. Wen Xin appearing in his office today was more about warning him rather than genuinely negotiating.

Alfredo sighed softly, looked up at the bald man, “Stop all plans, and arrange for people around the Elders Guild building. At any cost, ensure Wen Xin’s safety.”

Alfredo gave a mournful smile at the bald man; he too felt it was a pity, but in his eyes, nothing was more important than Wen Xin.

Even though he had been planning for over a year and was about to wrap things up, for the sake of Wen Xin, he had no choice but to give up; there were no other options.

The bald man looked at Wen Xin, showing a troubled expression; he really didn’t want to follow Alfredo’s arrangement. They had already endured the hardest times and were about to see the results… what a pity…
