Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World Chapter 257
Chapter 257 – Xie Yao
Everything progressed swimmingly under Nie Yan and Sleepy Fox’s careful supervision.
Fa Lan yielded in the end, allowing his guild members to join the conflict. The players of Sapphire Shrine fought Victorious Return and Radiant Sacred Flame with extreme ferocity. Considering they were fighting a force which numbered over 5,000, their losses were of course substantial.
Fa Lan was powerless to stop the enmity that had sparked between Sapphire Shrine and both Victorious Return and Radiant Sacred Flame
Sleepy Fox brought news of this development to Nie Yan the instant it occurred, laughing heartily in the voice chat.「That old dog Fa Lan tried hard but couldn’t escape boarding our pirate ship in the end! Let’s see if he can still remain so laid-back like before!」
Nie Yan was satisfied as well. With Sapphire Shrine being forced to ally with them, With Sapphire Shrine being forced to ally with them, they had the manpower to rival Victorious Return and Radiant Sacred Flame.
The overall balance of power now vastly differed from the previous timeline. Victorious Return and Radiant Sacred Flame were no longer untouchable superpowers.
「Don’t celebrate too early. We’ll have to iron out the details of our alliance with Fa Lan first,」Nie Yan said.
「When the duck is thoroughly cooked, is there a need to worry about it flying away? I’ll get him to send some elites to join the stronghold battle,」Sleepy Fox chuckled sinisterly. If Fa Lan were to join, victory was virtually assured; Radiant Sacred Flame would crumple beneath the three-pronged assault of Asskickers United, Holy Empire, and Sapphire Shrine.
「Go ahead.」Nie Yan was slightly distracted when his voice chat lit up with a call from Guo Huai.「Let’s talk later.」
「No problem.」Sleepy Fox started up his own call with Fa Lan.
「How are the losses?」Nie Yan asked after picking up. He was wondering how Asskickers United was doing, since they were in an ongoing battle with Victorious Return and Radiant Sacred Flame.

「Not too bad, though things could be better. We’ve had about 10,000 casualties on our side, but the enemy has suffered three times as much. Our forces are quite fierce. We’ve looted so much equipment that our treasury is almost full!」Guo Huai replied. They maintained a constant 3:1 kill-death ratio against the enemy. All that could be said was that the players of the guild were simply too strong!
「Good! When you dole out the merit points, give everyone a little extra!」Nie Yan nodded in approval. The members of Asskickers United were the creme of the crop among the player base. Coupled with the boost in morale from their recent successes, this was the least he expected.
「One other thing. Cao Xu, the chairman of Century Financial Group, contacted me. He said he wishes to purchase shares in Asskickers United, and if we agreed, the Century Financial Group was willing to let us set a price we would be satisfied with. How should I respond?」Guo Huai asked. It would be a huge help to the guild’s development if they received an investment from such a large financial group.
Nie Yan’s expression darkened. In the previous timeline, Century Financial Group employed this exact method to take out any potential rivals, controlling guild after guild through their massive capital. And now, they wanted to get their grubby hands on everything that he had built up.
「Asskickers United will not sell any shares to the Century Financial Group, under any circumstances. Reject their offer!」Nie Yan spoke in a grave tone.
「Understood.」Guo Huai nodded. He was slightly puzzled by the traces of anger he detected in Nie Yan’s voice. Why did he sound so emotional when I mentioned Century Financial Group? Is there some history between them?
「Pay close attention to the movements of Century Financial Group from now on! Take note of which guilds have been bought by them!」Nie Yan instructed. He had no choice but to prepare some countermeasures now that Cao Xu had set his eyes on Asskickers United.

「Alright. Don’t worry, you can leave this to me,」Guo Huai replied.「On a final note, about that thing you asked me last time… Well, I’ve gathered some information on Xie Yao.」
Nie Yan’s heart skipped a beat.「Tell me.」
「You know, she’s got quite the background. Have you heard of the name, Xie Pei?」
「Xie Pei… the business tycoon, the chairman of the Zheng Rong Financial Group?」Nie Yan replied after blanking for a moment.
「Yeah. Xie Pei is Xie Yao’s uncle, and her mother is the daughter of the Leaping Dragon Financial Group’s chairman. That’s definitely quite the lineup. It’s also been reported that on the day she was born, she was given 12% and 28% of each respective company’s shares, bringing her net worth to nearly ¥10,000,000,000. This young lady was born with a diamond spoon. That said, her family doesn’t seem to be living very extravagantly. Her parents don’t keep a high-profile, rarely interacting with the administrative staff of their companies. They’re currently living in a villa at Huahai,」Guo Huai informed. He had no idea what he was getting into when he first agreed to Nie Yan’s request. As soon as he started his investigation, he nearly shit his pants in fright. Such a deep background even left someone like him speechless.
Nie Yao was stunned as well. Zheng Rong and Leaping Dragon were top financial groups in the country, only second to Cao Xu’s Century Financial Group. Why didn’t he hear anyone mention Xie Yao’s background in his past life?
Most of Nie Yan’s classmates knew Xie Yao was from a wealthy family. But he doubted they knew to what degree. Even during its peak, his father’s company was still easily dwarfed by the Zheng Rong and Leaping Dragon financial groups—this was the sheer size of these two titans!
「I’ve heard Xie Yao’s parents donated all their shares to charitable organizations, save a portion for Xie Yao herself. They don’t particularly care who their daughter marries so long as she likes him. So cheer up! You still have a shot!」Guo Huai comforted. It was truly impressive for Xie Yao’s parents to give up so much wealth.
Although Xie Yao’s background shocked him, Nie Yan wasn’t deterred. True love knew no boundaries, definitely not monetary one. Even after two lifetimes, Xie Yao’s silhouette still remained deeply engraved into his heart.
Memories of the previous timeline floated in Nie Yan’s mind. Regardless of Xie Yao’s background, he knew one thing. He wouldn’t ever let her go again.
「Don’t sell yourself short! I have faith in you!」Guo Huai reassured. If this brother of his wasn’t good enough for Xie Yao, who was?
Nie Yan’s mood couldn’t help but perk up at Guo Huai’s encouragement.「I’ll be cheering you on too.」Of course, he was referring to their former class president.
「Hey? Can you not always bring up this embarrassing thing?」Guo Huai laughed.
The two chattered on for a while longer before hanging up, whereupon Nie Yan refocused his attention on the expedition.
While Nie Yan was directing everyone, Yao Yao walked up to him.
“Nirvana Flame, I have a Priest quest I’m stuck on half-way. After we finish the stronghold battle, can you help me?” Yao Yao asked, her bright eyes sparkling with anticipation—a pair of glittering diamonds with a captivating tint.
Nie Yan slightly averted his gaze. “What quest?”
“Karsi’s Blessing. The reward is a Templar Magic skill book,” Yao Yao replied.
“You received the Karsi’s Blessing quest?” Nie Yan asked in shock. In truth, he really didn’t have the heart to refuse Yao Yao. Besides, with what he knew, helping her complete the quest would be a simple effort. He nodded. “Sure, just remind me later.”

Grey Worlds
A mysterious incident occurred on a otherwise normal science centered world where all of the children from the age range of eight to sixteen suddenly vanished. “Where have their kids gone and will they ever return?” The now childless parents never got to really ask that question, because a strange new element replaced their lost children. This element slowly mutated the various animals that they once ruled over with their technology to the point that they were immune to their modern weaponry. The barren land of savages on a continent far away from theirs also had their children taken, but they easily mutated just like the beasts and only grew stronger thanks to the incident. A revolution of animals eventually took place after the mutations started to cause the animals to understand just how badly the humans ruined their lives and planet. Humans were the slowest to figure out how to use this strange new element to evolve, while their opponents were evolving and growing stronger by the day they couldn’t even surpass their modern technology. When humanity was on the brink of extinction a long forgotten event finally ended and their children finally started to return from the various worlds they were summoned to! It turns out that the mysterious new element that they didn’t know what to call was mana and that it’s everywhere in some fantasy planets. The children brought back a increase in technology and techniques to grow stronger with, which caused the humans to finally be able to build safe havens for their race. They grew stronger and started to finally adapt to their brand new environment. This is the story of a orphan who was taken away from his world, before he could gain a sense of attachment to the world. Who only has his older sister to care about and how he ends up adapting to the new world in front of him.------------------Dog notes by doggo First 'five' chapters aren't what the story is really about and is more of a prologue. The reason why some are separated into parts is because Doggo originally posted them as a entire chapter. The main setting is Ghost's actual world and not any foreign world. So this story was already posted once to another site or this site three years ago… and Dog is finally ending that three year hiatus! The explanation on why Dog was on a three year hiatus would of been written in the review section, but rrl doesn't allow self reviews. I'd have to create a alt just to self review which they obviously don't want even tho I'd not give myself any stars so its going to be here instead. The update schedule is a chapter a week till Dog get a editor and then two chapters a week till Dog gets enough money to pay for Dog’s bills. The final goal is to release a chapter every other day. Dog writes 4k word chapters so they are about twice as long as some of the other authors so every other day is actually more like once a day. ------------------- The part that was supposed to be the 'review' which Dog wont bother editing out repeat infomation since it wasn't supposed to go here in the first place. The first thing Dog will go over is what changed for the first 5 chapters, so that anyone who still remembers Dog's little novel and wants to continue from where Dog originally left off can decide whether or not to reread it. Also Dog is moving over to qidan simply because dog like the app they have. Dog won't go premium even if Qidan tells dog to and will simply move back to royalroad or create a blog.The things that changed over the years are mainly two important things. The first is that Dog changed the first person point of view to a third person, because Dog read a really bad first person novel and it reminded dog of dogs own novel. Dog also changed the thoughts of the character to be - - instead of italics. Finally dog changed chapter 3 completely to make the mc not seem like a homicidal maniac and introduced a important character in chapter 3.What happened to do in the three years that dog was away? Was dog at college and now needs money to eat? Was dog off in space after successfully becoming a astronaut and has now returned home with a completed novel or two? The answer is actually quite plain dog graduated from highschool and was supposed to only spend a year at dogs owners house to choose what major dog wanted to go to college for.Dog didn't do that and is still stuck with dogs owners and is sick of being a neet. Dog wants to move and buy doggy food, but dog is antisocial and doesn't want to work a simple 9 to 5 job for the rest of dogs life. Dog is a reader before dog is a author and the reason why dog got into writing was because dog wanted to write a novel without all the things dog finds annoying. Dog spent the first year reading various novels and dropping various novels. Dog is all caught up and has to much free time on dogs paws. The first year that Dog took off was the very same year that qidan came out so dog was naturally overloaded with free chapters. But now that pemium exists dog naturally has to limit the amount dog can read. Dog is addicted to reading like my very own readers and can understand your frustrations for dog disappearing for 3 years.Dog decided that dog will go back to writing 2 years ago. Dog wanted a decent stockpile incase dog has any other emergency so dog didn't post for a year but then dog decided to change the point of view which took another year.Dog has a patreon page https://www.patreon.com/mclaindog but there isn't any tiers there or goals till dog gets a editor. My final goal is to release a chapter every other day, but as long as Dog gets a editor Dog will do two free chapters a week.Dog will probably also make a kofi for anyone who just wants to send dog a tip and can't afford to donate money monthly while maybe having bonus chapters if the tip jar gets filled.
