Chapter 469: Still acting?

Fanny's premonition was correct. Almost all the Sanctuary families in their alliance wanted to contact Richard.

Relatively speaking, Belinda is one of the quickest ones.

"Belinda, we haven't contacted each other for a long time. Thank you for the life pearl you provided me before."

Belinda smiled, then responded, "You also paid for the magic resources."

Richard knew that some things could not be exchanged for money or resources, so he always remembered Belinda's favor.

But this does not mean that he will show leniency to the Fanny family.

Friendship is friendship, but Richard knows how the Fanny family has come to where they are today.

A heavy blow to them can be considered as revenge for the Theodore family.

At the same time, it can also serve as a warning to others. No, it should be killing the monkey to scare the chickens.

The strength of the Fanny family is also ranked among the top in the secret alliance. Except for the lack of a peak Saint Realm powerhouse, it ranks first in all other aspects.

"Why are you contacting me this time? Just tell me if you have any problem. I can help you."

Richard took the initiative to speak up, his purpose was to get Belinda to talk about accepting the Fanny family.

This way you can negotiate the price.

What he didn't expect was that Belinda didn't mention anything about the Fanny family, but just continued to reminisce about the past with Richard.

It seems that the Fanny family is still strong enough and can still sit still.

While Richard was communicating with Belinda, he was looking at several other pieces of communication equipment. These were all deliberately prepared by him to give those Sanctuary Families the opportunity to contact each other.

Even the connections they thought they had found were people arranged by Richard in advance.

After making an appointment with Fanny to talk next time, Richard picked up a piece of messaging equipment.

"Are you the owner of the Long family? You are a little slow. The head of the Fanny family has been chatting with me for a long time."

As soon as Richard opened his mouth, Rondo cursed Fanny in his heart, that old fox, who had even bluffed in their alliance meeting and said she would continue to stalemate with Richard.

Unexpectedly, his actions in private were even faster than his.

Although Belinda did not discuss matters concerning the Fanny family with Richard, it did not prevent Richard from using this as an excuse to split their alliance.

"Longda owner, have you thought it through? Which side do you want to choose?"

Rondo decided to contact Richard only after considering the pros and cons.

The Rondo family mainly runs the business of raising magical beasts, but because of the invasion of the Thousand Gods Empire, they had to abandon several alien worlds where they raised magical beasts.

The Rondo family's wealth shrank a lot in an instant.

Nothing can be seen now, but if this continues, the Rondo family will be secretly divided up by other Sanctuary families in the alliance.

He was surprised at Richard's rise, and then he was delighted.

Without Richard's rise, perhaps those greedy and cunning guys like Fanny would have already set their sights on his family.

But then, the situation took a turn for the worse, and before he could react, Richard possessed power beyond the alliance.

As a last resort, Rondo had to contact Richard.

"Sir Richard, I have thought it through. The Rondo family can join the Richard Empire and provide you with news from the alliance."

Richard shook his head, "Not enough."

"If I want to know the news in the alliance, do I still need to rely on the Rondo family? Doesn't the Fanny family have more comprehensive information than you?"

"And think about it carefully. You are begging me now, so think carefully about what you can bring to me, right?"

Rondo was choked up for a moment. He originally thought that Richard was so high-profile on purpose to get them to choose to join. This was also the analysis at the league's meeting.

But now it seems that something is wrong?

Why am I the one begging to join Richard Empire now?

The point is, after thinking about it carefully, it seems that the Rondo family is indeed not that important to Richard.

In terms of strength, the Rondo family only has him, a mid-stage Sanctuary Beast Tamer. In terms of wealth, the Rondo family suffered heavy losses and has not recovered yet!

Or? Don't join the Richard Empire?

No!

Absolutely not!

The Fanny family has secretly made contact with Richard. Although he doesn't know what conditions the Fanny family and Richard have negotiated, he knows that it must be more than what he has offered.

Thinking of this, he secretly made up his mind.

"Lord Richard, I am willing to surrender to you completely and wait for your orders."

Rondo knew that to Richard, the only important thing about their family was their alliance status.

After joining the Richard Empire, the Rondo family will become Richard's banner to attract other families to join. Richard will not watch it fall.

As for the future, since they can secretly control the Free Federation, they can naturally try to control the Richard Empire.

It's impossible for Richard to stay in the lower world forever and not ascend, right?

"Very good. I have seen the sincerity of the Londo family. Just wait for my order."

After Richard finished speaking, he terminated the communication.

In fact, there are still considerable hidden dangers in allowing these holy domain families to join, but Richard has already prepared means to deal with them. Once the Richard Empire has completely established its foothold, he can proceed.

Richard then picked up another piece of messaging equipment.

"The Fanny Family and the Londo Family have already chosen to join the Richard Empire. What are you still hesitating about?"

Richard sold out his newly recruited men without hesitation, as he had no trust in their loyalty anyway.

Whether it is the Rondo family or the Fanny family, profits come first.

The loss of interests in the fight against Richard Empire is not something they are willing to bear.

Not to mention, the alliance of these people itself was not unbreakable. It took Richard only three days to establish connections with most of the Sanctuary families.

Richard would not believe the promises of these Sanctuary families, but they were enough to spread rumors.

The only thing that surprised him was that Belinda never mentioned anything about the Fanny family once.

Maybe Belinda didn't know and was just instructed by Fanny.

Richard cursed the old fox inwardly, and then laughed. Now it was estimated that everyone in their entire alliance knew that the Fanny family belonged to Richard. What else could he do?

The secret alliance has been in turmoil recently, with news of joining the Richard Empire spreading everywhere. Of course, there is also news released by the Sanctuary Family that Richard ordered to join him.

In desperation, Fanny had to hold another emergency meeting.

Their meetings are not held in person, but a space is constructed for remote connections.

Fanny felt the strange looks from others and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"What's going on? Have you all joined the Richard Empire?"

Others couldn't help but sigh, he is indeed a veteran actor, he is still acting!

Everyone knows now that you are Richard's person.

Instead of getting a response, Fanny received a look of contempt.

"Richard, this guy is just bluffing..."

Fanny hadn't said a few words when he felt that the allies around him were looking at him with strange eyes.

An ally who was familiar with him secretly sent him a message, "You are amazing. You can still continue to act at this time."

Fanny was stunned. Acting?

I really don't want to join the Richard Empire!

Why did they all say they were acting? Fanny then quickly contacted several allies and asked them, only to find out that Richard had been spreading the news that he had secretly joined the Richard Empire.

I ride a horse?

Richard, this bastard, just wanted to leave a way out for the Fanny family, but he didn't expect Richard to take advantage of the situation and directly spread the news among them that he had joined the Richard Empire.

Can't you use your brain to think about it? If you really join the Richard Empire, will Richard still do this?

Fanny looked around at her allies. Some looked at her with contempt, while others remained unmoved.

What made him most angry was that several of his allies were giving him looks, probably those who had already joined the Richard Empire.

He treated Fanny as his own and even a leader.

Apart from anything else, Richard's move did catch him off guard.

On top of that, his reputation was not good to begin with, and not many people would trust him for not joining the Richard Empire.

Otherwise, should we just continue to act like this?

No, I can't suffer this loss in silence.

Fanny then pulled herself together and scolded Richard at the meeting. This time he was sincere, but no one believed him.

What he didn't expect was that before he could use any conspiracy or tricks against Richard, Richard's next move had already arrived.

Richard's followers announced in the Free Federation that they would take action against the Sid family.

The Sid family is also a holy domain family, but this holy domain family has only risen in recent years.

The main business of the Sid family is various forbidden magical materials, such as some spices that can greatly enhance the wizard's meditation ability, but have a great stimulation to the human spirit.

Most importantly, this spice is generally highly addictive, and even legendary wizards cannot resist it.

The Sid family made a fortune in the Free Federation by relying on these banned magical materials.

The Free Federation naturally does not allow the sale of these banned magical materials openly, after all, it would cause too much harm to professionals.

However, the Sid family had a lot of money. After giving expensive gifts to all the families in the alliance, the Free Federation's sanctions against the Sid family were rejected by the parliament.

As a result, the Sid family became a member of the alliance, and relying on the wealth they earned, they cultivated many powerful saints in the family.

He even relied on banned magical materials to train several legions, and his combat power is indeed not weak.

However, these powerful saints and legions did not see a single hair on the battlefield with the Thousand Gods Empire.

As for those sanctuary families, they have enough money to buy magic materials without side effects, so they naturally don't care about the business of these banned magic materials. At most, they would sigh that it is quite profitable.

The Sid family also contacted Richard, wanting to join the Richard Empire and were willing to contribute a large amount of wealth.

Even the well-informed Richard was shocked by the generosity of the Sid family.

No wonder the Free Federation has developed for more than 100,000 years, but the lives of the lower-class citizens are still mediocre. It was all plundered by black-hearted guys like you.

However, Richard flatly refused the Sid family's joining.

On the one hand, he didn't want this kind of business to exist in the future Richard Empire.

Richard would not keep around such scum who has been harming citizens and poisoning people for thousands of years and let them get in the way.

On the other hand, the Sid family was also a trigger for him to sow discord among Fanny and her alliance.

If they don't help the Sid family, there will be more cracks in their alliance.

If they helped, the Sid family would also be a good target. Richard would not need to deal with other families, he just had to keep a close eye on the Sid family.

Richard then appeared in the Free Federation and publicly announced that the crimes committed by the Sid family were too numerous to list.

In fact, the laws of the Free Federation are very relaxed, especially for the nobles who have various privileges. Even if they kill someone, it is no big deal as long as they pay compensation. They can do whatever they want in their own territory.

Not to mention a powerful Sanctuary family like the Sid Family.

However, the crimes committed by the Sid family still frightened some neutral factions in the Free Federation.

It turns out that there is such a cancer in the Free Federation.

"The crimes of the Sid family have angered the heavens and the people. This time, the action against the Sid family will not stop until their death. No matter which world the Sid family escapes to, I will hunt them down to the end."

After Richard made his announcement, he disappeared.

The Sid family was completely panicked.

What's wrong with Richard? He's not happy with all the money he's given? He even wants to kill him?

Especially, Richard really has this ability!

The Sid family does have quite a few powerful Saint Realm masters. After all, they are rich. Even if someone in their family has no talent, they can buy extremely talented children and train them themselves.

But these strengths are not enough in front of Richard.

The peak of the Holy Domain is not just a realm, but also a synonym for invincibility in the lower realm.

In the former Free Federation, there were only two top-level powerful men in the Holy Domain.

"Brother, how about we just run?"

A bearded man suggested to Sid.

"Run? Do you think Richard is a fool? Since he dares to say that, he must have prepared a way long ago. I guess there are people from Richard outside the family who are watching us now."

"Even Richard might have arrived already."

Sid looked a little anxious, but he had no idea what to do.

Strength is the most powerful means in this world. No matter how he plays chess, Richard directly skips General He. How can he play?

"Brother, why don't we ask some of our allies for help? If that doesn't work, we can share our family's wealth with them."

The bearded man continued to suggest.

Sid had no choice but to follow his advice and start contacting his allies.

The first person he contacted was Fanny, who had just convened a meeting. He knew that Fanny was a person who valued interests and it was impossible for her to join the Richard Empire so quickly.

In fact, most of the allies have similar ideas. Even if they agree to join the Richard Empire, as long as it is not in their interests, they can withdraw at any time.

"Lord Fanny, I am willing to contribute one-third of my family's wealth as long as you can convince our allies to help the Sid family survive this crisis."
