Chapter 816: Provoker (Part One)
“Uh… Ellen has been performing great in the shop, and I was thinking about giving her a promotion . However, bringing a customer to the manager’s office is strictly against the rules of the organization, and she should be punished according to the code written by Mr . [Old Man] . ” As the head manager of this shop, Kane upheld the principle even though he was facing the mysterious ruler .
Fei nodded in satisfaction, and his impression of this manager improved even more .
Since he had already expressed his intentions, a smart person like Kane understood it, and he would execute it well . The principles couldn’t be broken without punishment, but Grace Ellen was going to be rewarded as well . It seemed like after a small penalty for her mistake, she was going to be promoted .
-In the grand hall on the first floor-
It was late into the night, and Talon City’s night market had reached its peak . The magic lights made it seem like daytime, and more people were on the street . It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that people’s elbows and shoulders were rubbing against each other tightly .
Right now, this weapon shop got to its busiest hour .
While Grace Ellen introduced various weapons to the potential customers half-heartedly, she was thinking back to that mysterious and handsome young man . Even though they met briefly, that young man’s figure was already sealed into this girl’s heart .
As she turned around and looked at the stairs repeatedly, she thought to herself, “More than 40 minutes have passed . What is that handsome young man talking with the Manager about? It has been so long already!”
Ellen felt like that young man had magical powers . His starry eyes and bright smile were enough to make any inexperienced girl fall for him .
Ellen had already fallen deep into the ‘trap’ in such a short time .
From a little beggar who lived on the street and couldn’t even eat food regularly, she had become the best saleswoman in the most popular weapon shop in Talon City . Perhaps this transformation was nothing in others’ eyes, but it was life-changing to Ellen . Her poor and low-class life when she was younger somehow gave her an ultrsharp instinct, and this instinct allowed her to judge and sense strangers accurately during the first encounter . It was this instinct that allowed her to capture the potential customers’ needs and successfully bring them to the correct weapons .
But today, her sharp instinct made her sense the ethereal and celestial aura of that young man, and she fell for that man’s presence .
As an old employee of the shop, she knew her action of bringing that handsome young man to the Manager broke the rules, and she was going to be fined accordingly . However, she didn’t regret doing so at all . If she went back in time and could get the chance to decide again, she would still choose to bring that handsome young man onto the fourth floor .
Perhaps everything was determined by fate .
Just as Grace Ellen was feeling unsettled, a series of loud and chaotic shouts sounded from the direction of the gate . Then, one of her female co-workers gasped .
While the people who were looking at the weapons in the shop all walked to the two sides, more than a dozen warriors in red light armor already charged in and kicked a saleswoman to the ground . Then, they started to curse and smash around .
Behind these warriors, there was a thin and bald old man, a muscular man who was more than two meters tall, and a few military officials in uniforms .
“Them again? They are pushing it too far! They are here to cause trouble again!”
Grace Ellen was looking at that thin and bald old man . He was Glazer, the owner of another large-scale weapon shop .

One year ago, Glazer’s business, [Blade-Washing Shop], was the largest weapon seller in Talon City, and Glazer was one of the most influential figures in the city as a result . However, this man was vicious and greedy, so his shop had a lot of shady practices and cheated and bullied the customers .
Chapter 816: Provoker (Part Two)
Soon after, [Cauldron-Casting Shop] that was supported by the [Letter Office] came to Talon City . The superior service, top-tier quality, and fair prices instantly allowed this new shop to gain popularity quickly . In just a short time, it surpassed [Blade-Washing Shop] and became the No . 1 Weapon Shop in Talon City .
Of course, old fox Glazer was jealous and envious over this . He had been operating in Talon City for many years, and he wasn’t willing to be squeezed down by this new force . Therefore, he used many methods to affect [Cauldron-Casting Shop]’s business, and the new shop lost a lot of revenue . In fact, even a few employees were injured during the process .
However, the people of [Blade-Washing Shop] still came here aggressively; it was clear that they were up to no good .
“Nina! Go and get Manager Kane!”
Grace Ellen quickly said to one of her co-workers who was in a state of panic . Then, she gritted her teeth, suppressed her fear, and walked toward those warriors who were smashing the shop forcefully .
She wanted to delay and possibly stop these fierce warriors before Manager Kane got here .

After about 40 minutes, Fei already got all the information that he needed .
Just as Fei was about to get up and leave after declining Kane’s offers of accommodations, a series of footsteps sounded outside the door, and a series of rushed knocking came next .
Before Kane could tell the person outside the door to come in, a girl who was in the store uniform rushed in while panting . Her face was round like an apple, and some cute freckles could be seen on her face .
“Kane… Manager Kane, please come down! That… That old fox Glazer is here to cause trouble again! Some of our people are injured…” This girl with freckles said in panic .
Kane frowned and cursed in his mind, “What the f*ck is going on? So many things are happening . ”
However, he didn’t dare to make any decisions while Fei was here, and he looked at Fei with an awkward expression .
“Huh? It seems like we have quite a lot of enemies . Let’s go and look . Who dares to cause trouble here?” Fei smiled and walked downstairs .
Kane heaved a sigh of relief, wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and walked behind Fei .
When he was with this young ruler, he was sensing an enormous pressure all the time; he never felt this way when he was facing the two legendary leaders, [Old Man] and [Young Man] .
“However, since the ruler is here today, we might be able to solve the issue with Glazer who is a sly and vicious fox, eliminating one of the headaches of [Cauldron-Casting Shop] once for all!”

That round-faced girl with freckles followed behind them quietly, and she was wondering why Manager Kane who was quite powerful in the city was so respectful and a bit fearful toward this handsome young man .
Soon, the three of them came to the first floor .
While they were walking down the stairs, Kane used the most concise words to tell Fei the entire story .
Right now, the grand hall on the first floor was packed with people, and most of them were curious customers who wanted to see drama . Since most of them were fearless warriors, they didn’t mind the bloody fight scenes . Also, they all heard about the direct and hidden fights between [Blade-Wash Shop] and [Cauldron-Casting Shop], so they gathered here to watch the show .
In fact, even the street outside the shop was filled with people .
Slap!
Right after the slap, a girl screamed in pain, and an arrogant shout sounded, “You are just a dirty worker! How dare you stand in front of me and talk? F*ck off! Tell that damn old Kane to get out here! You guys, don’t just stand there . Smash everything! Let everyone see what kind of trash that [Cauldron-Casting Shop] is selling!”
