Chapter 40 Joining the Clan

"Do you want to join us?" Stormbringers-LunaStar looked at Harry with sincerity and asked expectantly.

"Yes." Harry nodded. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

Joining the Stormbringers Clan was not about finding a backer for him. After years of struggling, he had become indifferent to many things and had a hint of world-weariness in his heart. He didn't dare to consider his future, but he would seize any opportunity in front of him to make his life better.

This was a normal aspiration. When faced with inner desires and the sudden appearance of an opportunity, everyone would be like Harry, trying to seize that chance for themselves.

Although Harry sold the Faction Establishment Token and obtained three million dollars, it was only a fleeting moment of glory, not a lifetime of wealth. It was like winning the lottery. If squandered without long-term plans, it would ultimately lead to a miserable outcome.

"Please wait a moment. I will report your case to the clan now." Stormbringers-LunaStar was excited and quickly opened her friend list to contact the people from the clan. She believed that this time, she would definitely bring a pleasant surprise to the family. After all, the person she invited was ranked 10th in the rankings.

Seeing Harry's acceptance, Stormbringers-Lilian stood by silently, not saying a word, but observing Harry with a few more glances.

After a few minutes, Stormbringers-LunaStar reported Harry's situation to the clan. As expected, it attracted the attention of the high-ranking members of the clan. They didn't expect that such an expert would willingly join their clan. They were pleasantly surprised and requested Stormbringers-LunaStar to retain this player.

The high-ranking members of these major clans were all astute and shrewd. Their vision was sharp. A player who could stand out among over 200 million players was no longer just an expert—it could even be said that such individuals were rare talents that were difficult to come by.

Although it was still the early stages of the game, and a Level Ranking List didn't mean much, as it could easily be surpassed by thousands of players in the blink of an eye, encountering a player like Harry made them determined not to let him slip away. 

Moreover, Harry had joined their clan voluntarily. Even if it required offering some financial rewards or status, they would do so without hesitation.

Most importantly, this game was extraordinary, and every skilled player was fiercely sought after by the major clans. So when Harry voluntarily joined them, they would do whatever it took to retain him and fulfill his needs as much as possible.

The high-ranking members of the family discussed briefly and decided to invest to retain Harry. They offered him a monthly salary of 100,000 dollars, which was just the base amount, along with some substantial benefits. 

Upon receiving the response from the family, Stormbringers-LunaStar's face lit up with delight. She had accomplished a great feat and also received generous rewards.

"The clan has agreed!" Stormbringers-LunaStar said with excitement.

Harry nodded slightly, not surprised at all. If the clan had rejected his request, that would have been strange.

"The family even arranged accommodation for you. It seems to be a single-room villa. You can come to our base in reality, and all expenses will be covered by the clan. You just need to contribute to the clan!" Stormbringers-LunaStar exclaimed in astonishment. Such treatment was something even the elites within the clan couldn't enjoy, yet Harry, a newcomer, was being given such significance by the clan.

Harry was momentarily stunned, equally surprised. Getting that much money per month and having food and accommodation provided was beyond his expectations.

Stormbringers-Lilian was taken aback. Even though she maintained her composure, her eyes revealed disbelief. Only elders of the clan would be provided with a villa, but this player before them had just joined the clan and was receiving such treatment.

"This is impossible!" The situation seemed too absurd for Stormbringers-Lilian to believe. She quickly opened her friend list and contacted her brother.

Her brother, as an elder of the clan with extraordinary strength and influence, replied with a brief sentence that made Stormbringers-Lilian tremble, leaving her frozen in place.

"This is the clan's decision. By the way, he is with you now, so try to please him."

The short sentence left Stormbringers-Lilian stunned. What surprised her even more was that her brother would ask her to please the player before her, which was inconceivable and made her feel a sense of unfamiliarity towards her own brother.

"We haven't obtained the Faction Establishment Token yet, but we have informants searching for Bosses outside. We believe we'll be able to establish a faction soon," Stormbringers-LunaStar said joyously. With her significant contribution to the clan, she received a substantial reward that would allow her to help her younger brother.

"Okay. What do I need to do now?" Harry asked. This was his first time joining a clan, which meant his freedom might be restricted, and he couldn't act as freely as before. His thoughts would now revolve around the clan's interests.

Of course, this was just a transaction. Harry was getting paid to do things for the clan. It was as simple as that. There was no emotional attachment. If the rewards ceased, he would naturally leave the clan. 

Stormbringers-LunaStar remained silent and looked at Stormbringers-Lilian. It was clear that among the three of them, Stormbringers-Lilian held the highest position. She was the leader.

"Now that you have joined the clan, you must follow the instructions of the high-ranking members," Stormbringers-Lilian stated.

"The most important rule in the clan is to obey superior orders!" Stormbringers-Lilian's tone was plain, but she was speaking the truth.

As for the words her brother had spoken, asking her to please Harry, considering her personality, it was impossible for her to comply.
