Chapter 2100: Su Clan changes (2)
If there were any changes among the Star-Eye Clan, such as signs of vigorous development, for example, defeating a medium-sized race in the Brave Trial, or using some entirely new abilities, etc., it would attract attention in Dark Strip City. It could even cause a stir in surrounding cities. However, in the survivor fortress where they were located, or even among the cosmic races of the entire universe, it would not create any significant waves.
Perhaps it could in the future, but for now, the size and influence of the Star-Eye Clan were insufficient to make everyone pay attention to them.
But the Su Clan was different.
They were a super clan, and they also held the title of a presiding race within one of the three major factions. Naturally, their influence and level of attention were the highest.
Therefore, when they revealed that they could arrange formations for everyone on the planet's hunting grounds for a fee, the upheaval it caused swept through all the survivor fortresses in a very short time.
Everyone's views on the Su Clan's change were quite different.
Some people felt this was not unusual. Anyone with a slight understanding of the Su Clan knew that although they bore the label of a super clan, in reality, they ranked at the bottom among all the super clans. They were invincible on their home turf in Su City, but anywhere outside of there, the people of the Su Clan were no match.
This had been the case for many years. The Su Clan's situation had consistently been trending downward. The current clan leader of the Su Clan was a rare leader with ambition, so it was very normal for him to do some unconventional things.
And the only thing the Su Clan could really offer was this thing called formations.
Some people felt this was abnormal because the Su Clan had always pursued a conservative, introverted strategy. They guarded formations particularly strictly, effectively preventing people from other factions from creating formations. Only people from the Su Clan faction had this privilege, and even then, it was only for the less important formations. As for the good and powerful ones, the Su Clan guarded them jealously.Since tradition was like this and there was now a tendency to break with it, how could it be considered normal? Perhaps something unexpected had already happened within the Su Clan.
Of course, more people still felt they should observe the situation first before commenting.
The Su Clan said that this time, they would arrange formations for a fee for the races participating in the planet battlefield.
This had a precondition: it was fixed specifically for the planet-hunting grounds. You could see this as a change in the Su Clan, or you could also see it as a stopgap measure.
For example, the Su Clan might be a bit short on funds recently.
So, whether the Su Clan had truly changed their centuries-old external strategy, or whether they just wanted to earn some money to make life a little better for the clan, this was still debatable.
Actually, it was not surprising that various races were so sensitive to changes in the Su Clan. The fact was, once this super clan's strategy shifted, other races would definitely have to adjust their own strategies accordingly. It was a closely interconnected matter.
While everyone was speculating about the Su Clan's changes, within the Su Clan itself, there were huge disagreements. At that moment, in the grand meeting room, the three major factions were engaged in a fierce argument.
"Clan Leader, you are the supreme leader of the Su Clan and have the right to decide both major and minor matters of the clan. However, on some fundamental issues, acting on your own like this is not very appropriate, is it?"
The head of the Kelansu faction looked at Yaohan Su, his face cold as he spoke.
The anger in his heart was not only because of this one matter, but also due to the accumulation over that period of time.
Originally, when cooperating with the Star-Eye Clan, he had already been at a disadvantage and had to agree. But since he also gained benefits from it, he couldn't say anything.
But this time was different. Yaohan Su, without a word, first stocked goods in the clan's stores and made a huge profit from weapons and equipment. Although they also had the right to obtain some profits, under the rules, the faction providing the source could take ninety percent of the profit, while they could only get ten percent.
Logically, doing nothing and earning a 10% profit was already pretty good, but human nature is never satisfied. This leader felt that Yaohan Su had used the clan's channels to seek private gain for his own faction.
Others might not know, but this leader was very clear about the cooperation between the Su Clan and the Star-Eye Clan, and he knew very well that Ye Zhongming and Jie Su were close brothers who were in cahoots. As soon as the planet hunting grounds were announced on that side, the weapons and equipment were immediately stocked in the stores on this side. If anyone believed there was no 'collusion' between the two sides, no one would believe it.
He believed this showed Yaohan Su was being dishonorable. If he had shared this news with the other two factions, then everyone could have made money together, and they would have gotten the profits from their respective good sources, instead of just a measly ten percent.
As for whether he would have done the same if their positions were reversed, that was not something he considered.
Inequality, rather than scarcity, breeds discontent. This holds true in any era, any place, and for any people.
Furthermore, if it were just stocking weapons and equipment for sale, it might have been acceptable, but Yaohan Su also released a large number of formation disks!
This was a bit harder to tolerate.
This leader was a conservative. He felt that formation disks, being fundamental to the Su Clan's existence, if sold in large quantities, would make it easier for other races to uncover the secrets of their formations.
Finally, Yaohan Su, without seeking anyone's agreement, announced the arrangement of fee-based formations for the various races participating in the planet-hunting grounds. If the formation disks had only angered this leader, this news filled him with both fear and hatred for Yaohan Su.
The things left by the ancestors, the rules they established, how could they be destroyed like this!
Even if you were the clan leader, you could not have the final say and act arbitrarily. You had to know, strictly speaking, the Su Clan was ruled in rotation by the three direct lineages; it was a form of shared governance. During a particular lineage's term in office, they could naturally decide ordinary matters themselves, but when facing major issues, they had to consult the other two lineages and reach a unified opinion before acting.
Yaohan Su's current approach, no matter how you looked at it, broke with tradition.
This was not a good sign. The other two factions sensed something unusual in this.
Thus, today's meeting, with the participation of all high-level members, came to be.
"What's inappropriate about it?" Yaohan Su sat there, extremely calm, as if he wasn't the one being questioned.
