Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

The six-star mercenary group also learned of the news, but they dared not act rashly. After all, the five-star area was subject to the Mercenary Guild's regulations, and they could not cross the line. If they were discovered, they would be expelled from the Mercenary Guild immediately.

Although they couldn't move, they wouldn't let those five-star mercenary groups get away with it for nothing. So, the six-star mercenary groups immediately issued orders to the five-star mercenary groups they supported, instructing them to go and compete for the mines. If there really were top-grade mines, they would be able to get a share of the profits.

At this moment, in the Six Stars area, inside a tent, four figures sat around a round table covered with rough canvas.

These four individuals are among the strongest in the six-star mercenary groups, and are also supported by the four seven-star mercenary groups.

It's important to understand that the mercenary guild is like a spider web, with intricate relationships. There's always been a phenomenon of superiors supporting subordinates within the guild. The reason why the Seven Star Mercenary Group is so powerful and profits the most is not only because of its own strength, but also because of its support for subordinate mercenary groups.

Commander Zhao sat in the main seat. Their Blizzard Mercenary Group was supported by the Seven Star Hell Mercenary Group. Ever since the news spread, Zhang Xiansheng, the leader of the Hell Mercenary Group, had instructed Commander Zhao to closely monitor the movements in the area where the Five Star Mercenary Group was located, and to report any unusual activity immediately.

Commander Zhao's expression was extremely solemn. He slowly spoke, "Regarding that matter, I'm sure everyone has received clear instructions from above. We absolutely cannot hand over this lucrative opportunity to the Five-Star Mercenary Group."

"Of course, a five-star mercenary group? They shouldn't even dream of it! They have no right to interfere in such a good thing." Someone immediately chimed in, their tone full of disdain.

Then, another person asked with a hint of worry, "Commander Zhao, should we still hold back? I've heard that several five-star mercenary groups are planning to join forces to seize it."

Upon hearing this, Commander Zhao did not immediately reply, but merely frowned slightly. Although they had each supported some five-star mercenary groups, these groups were limited in number and their strength was not top-tier.

The mercenary groups that intend to join forces have fought their way up step by step through their own strength. Once they successfully join forces, even if these mercenary groups with powerful backers unite, they will probably find it difficult to contend with them.

What worries Commander Zhao even more is that the mercenary groups without powerful backers have always looked down on those with powerful backers, and there have long been conflicts between them. This news has only escalated the conflict to a new level.

A brief silence fell over the room, the atmosphere heavy and tense. After a long while, Commander Zhao finally spoke, his voice tinged with helplessness.

"I haven't received any further instructions from my superiors yet. This matter is indeed very tricky."

At this moment, the tent curtain was gently lifted, and four men walked in with an imposing air. The four people who were sitting inside the tent involuntarily stood up and quickly and respectfully gave up their seats.

These four men had calm expressions and deep eyes. They were surrounded by an aura of authority that could be felt without words, a powerful presence that instilled fear even without anger.

After they sat down, Zhang Xiansheng, the leader of the Hell Mercenary Group and the head of the group, spoke. His voice was like distant thunder, striking straight to the heart.

"How's the situation here?"

Upon hearing this, Commander Zhao immediately bowed and replied, "Reporting to you, sir, the situation is extremely dire. Several five-star mercenary groups are preparing to join forces to seize the Blazing Flame's top-grade mineral vein."

Zhang Xiansheng's face instantly darkened, his eyes narrowed, revealing an undeniable chill: "Do you know the exact location of that top-grade mine?"

Commander Zhao quickly took out a meticulously drawn map from his pocket, carefully unfolded it, and pointed out the treasure land that everyone coveted.

The group gathered around and examined the area again, but they couldn't find anything unusual on the map. They just thought it was an ordinary wasteland.

At this moment, Xia Chunhan of the Gale Mercenary Group, a martial artist known for his composure, frowned and raised the question that had been bothering him.

"This place doesn't look special at all, but is there really a top-grade mineral vein here?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiansheng's lips curled into a cold smile. He abruptly stood up, exuding an undeniable decisiveness.

“Zhao Wuji, you lead the way, we’ll go and find out for ourselves. I want to see if this legendary treasure land is truly as good as it sounds.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji felt a chill run down his spine. That area was within the territory of the Five Star Mercenary Group, and this trip was fraught with danger.

"Sir, that's the territory of a five-star mercenary group..."

Zhang Xiansheng, however, did not take it to heart, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under his control.

"The rules don't say we can't go to the five-star area. As long as we don't provoke any conflict, what's there to be afraid of? Let's go, Zhao Wuji, you lead the way."

"Yes, sir, please come with me."

Although Zhao Wuji was uneasy, he could only obey Zhang Xiansheng's firm stance.

As soon as they finished speaking, the group of people swayed and disappeared into the tent like ghosts, leaving only a slight gust of wind and a lingering sense of oppression in the air.
