Chapter 82: Making a Mess

Franklin looked at Qian Jin as he was even more stunned this time. “Number one blacksmith shop in Oakland? Really? Although Lucas is only a Level 2 Blacksmith, he has operated in Oakland for many years, and he has a deep connection with the Blacksmith Union in the State Capital. If we go this boldly…”
“Relax, trust me.” Qian Jin bent his back and tapped Franklin’s lower back as he said quietly, “Franklin, let me tell you a secret. Actually, I’m a real Forge Master…”
“What?”
Franklin was so surprised that he almost tripped and fell on his head. He calmed himself down a little and stared at Qian Jin’s smiling face.
“Forge Master! The Forge Master that numerous blacksmiths worshipped? With this title and status, even the mayor would pay him a lot of respect and give him a lot of special treatment! It was rumored that even the most talented blacksmith in the Blacksmith Union would be middle-aged when he or she became a Forge Master. Even great blacksmiths would have a full head of white hair and a white beard by the time they achieved the level of Forge Master! But Qian Jin… how young is he?” Franklin screamed in his mind.
“Let’s go.” Qian Jin dragged Franklin as they traveled through several streets and arrived in front of Lucas’ Blacksmith Shop.
Compared to Franklin’s Blacksmith Shop, Lucas’ Blacksmith Shop wasn’t simply decorated in a much more attractive manner; it also occupied a much larger area. Franklin’s Blacksmith Shop couldn’t even be compared with Lucas’ shop.
Above the tall and gigantic door, there was a big seal carved out of wood. It was the symbol of a huge forging hammer. Just from the look of it, it gave off the feeling as if it was the king of all blacksmiths in Oakland.
It was about five times the size of Franklin’s Blacksmith Shop. This made Franklin ashamed of himself as he stood in front of it. There were always people coming in and out of the shop; the foot traffic that Lucas’ Blacksmith Shop was getting was completely out of Franklin’s league.
“Qian Jin… we don’t have to…” Franklin pulled on Qian Jin’s wrist as he said, “Here… we really…”
“Franklin, just listen to me.” Qian Jin countered Franklin by grabbed onto Franklin’ wrist instead. He walked into the shop as he said, “Did you forget how arrogant he was at our blacksmith shop? Since Lucas gave me such a big present that night, I will have to return the favor today! He wants to take my life, so he must be prepared for my revenge! I will smash and knock over your shop today, and I will kill your henchmen later to eliminate all threats.”
“He wants to take your life?”
“Franklin, just follow behind me.”
In the wide and spacious demonstrating and selling hall, Lucas sat on a chair that wasn’t too far away from the counters. He was drinking tea, unlike Franklin who was usually in the workshop at the back forging. Today, Lucas wasn’t that happy. When Qian Jin walked into the front store, he was frowning and concentrating on thinking about something, as if something was really bothering him.
“Do you need anything, sir?”
A pretty saleswoman quickly approached Qian Jin with a quick jog. When she got to Qian Jin, she bowed to greet him. It was obvious that the professionalism of the salespeople and the customer service at Lucas’ Blacksmith Shop was much better than Franklin’s Blacksmith Shop.
“Humph, so this is the style that Lucas likes.”
Franklin glanced at Lucas who was sitting not far away disdainfully. Franklin was already a Level 3 Blacksmith; with Qian Jin beside him, his confidence increased a lot after he entered the room.
“What do I need?” Qian Jin raised his voice intentionally. He said with a voice that everyone in the hall could hear, “Give me the hardest, best weapon you guys have! I only want the best!”
A few adventurers shifted their attention onto Qian Jin after they heard Qian Jin shout. They also subconsciously moved closer to Qian Jin; they wanted to see why this young man was so sharp and arrogant.
