Good day sir, I want a spear, Joel replied with a slight smile.
Over here, the man led him to a row of spears that were arranged neatly on a weapon rack. Seeing the intricate designs on he spears, he couldn't help but think of the contrast between crafting in Zephyria and his main world.
I choose this one, Joel said as he pointed towards one of the spears that looked slender and had a very pointed tip. Excellent choice, this is a spear forged personally by me. I assure you that it will be able to satisfy you, the man advertised to Joel.
How much is it, Joel asked directly. It costs just 30 gold coins, the man said.
Joel counted the coins for the man and was about to give them to him when a group of people barged into the shop.
Bren, you still haven't paid your protection fee for today, the leading man said. I don't owe you anything, so why should I pay you? The man known as Bren retorted angrily.
It seems you have forgotten what we did to you the last time you lashed out at us, the leading man said as he drew his sword from its scabbard.
Then, with a boost from the wind essence, he lunged straight at Bren. Suddenly, a hand grabbed the sword and threw the man back with tremendous force.
You should at least have courtesy for others, Joel said as he flicked his wrists, causing several rings of wind to bind the three men.
For trying something stupid in my presence, you have been banned from threatening this shop, Joel said with an authoritative voice.
You, the men, stuttered as they were about to speak, but couldn't say anything due to the pressure Joel gave off.
They left angrily in the end, while muttering some words under their breath.
Thank you very much, Bren said with a worried expression. Seeing his expression, Joel asked why he was still worried when he had driven them away already.
The thing is, they have a boss named Gale Fang, who is in the refinement realm and is one of the most powerful people in this district; even the district head can not go against him.
Hearing the story behind the previous trio, Joel just scoffed while he gave Bren the thirty gold coins.
Don't worry, Bren said as he pushed Joel's hands away.
Why wouldn't I pay for what I bought? What virtue is in that, Joel said as he returned the coins to Bren.
Thank you very much, Bren said as he saw Joel out of his shop, to the bustling street of the market.
Bye, Bren waved at Joel, and Joel also reciprocated.
Joel had a good impression of Bren. Although they only had a brief exchange, he could tell that he was a good person from the interaction.
In a huge mansion, the previous men were talking to their boss.
You are telling me that a customer of Bren was able to easily defeat you three in the Awakening realm. How do you expect me to believe that? The man shouted angrily, releasing a wave of pressure that bore down on the men.
The man released the pressure as soon as he released it, and looked at the leading man. Do you have any information about the man? he asked.
None, he only looks very handsome, like a celestial that fell from the heavens, the man replied.
Handsome, I just hope he isn't Jake, the man thought as he remembered the man he sent some hooligans to kill earlier that day.
Go to the information guild to get some information about him. When I'm, ready, I will personally deal with him.
