Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Son, what happened to you? Who hurt you?!”

Wei Jiaming ran to his father’s side, his eyes red as he said, “Father, you have to make a decision for your son. I was set up by a person called Wu Mo in the academy! I was even blacklisted by Treasure Pavilion forever.”

Wei Jiaming’s tone was filled with grievance and dissatisfaction. Everyone knew his identity since he was young. Who would dare to not give in to him?

But this time, he had suffered such a huge loss. How could he swallow this.

When Wei Jiaming’s words came out, Wei Jian and the butler standing at the side had a drastic change in expression.

The butler was somewhat shocked. With the Wei family’s status in Upper Forest City, who would be so bold to attack Wei Jiaming? Moreover, they even broke Young Master Wei’s face. They did not put the Wei family in their eyes at all.

When Wei Jian heard his son’s words, the veins on his forehead immediately bulged, and a strong killing intent burst out from his eyes.

Everyone in Upper Forest City knew that Wei Jian was a protective person. Even so, there were still people who dared to attack his son. If he didn’t kill a few people, it would be a disgrace to his reputation as Tiger Wei!

“Jiaming, what happened? Tell me in detail. Your father will definitely help you vent your anger!”

Wei Jian spoke word by word, each word carrying a heavy killing intent.

At that moment, the servants outside immediately came in with disinfectant and ice bags to help Wei Jiaming treat the wound on his face.

Wei Jiaming sat on the couch and told the whole story of his encounter with Wu Mo.

“Father, this is how it happened. That guy called Wu Mo has always been against me. I don’t know what kind of dog sh*t luck he got to become a special consultant in Treasure Pavilion. Thanks to that partnership, I was blacklisted by Treasure Pavilion…”

As soon as his voice trailed off, the entire large living room became silent.

“Wu Mo… A small-time Four-star blacksmith actually offended our Wei family. I’ll arrange for an assassin to kill him the next time he leaves the academy. However, I can’t do anything to Treasure Pavilion for now,” Wei Jian stroked his beard and said coldly.

Right then, the butler who had been silent for a long time suddenly said, “Master, I think there’s another way to solve this matter. Not only can we kill that kid surnamed Wu, but we can also use this opportunity to demolish Treasure Pavilion.”

“Oh? There’s such a way? Hurry up and tell me about it.”

When the angry Wei Jian heard the butler’s words, his curiosity was piqued.

The butler, who was over sixty years old, cupped his hands and bowed. Then he spoke with a smile. “Master, we can start from the Unique Treasure Hall that we funded previously. Wasn’t Treasure Pavilion a thorn in your side previously? You’ve always wanted to uproot them.”

“Previously, our Unique Treasure Hall was suppressed by Treasure Pavilion because we had just entered this city and our foundation wasn’t stable. But now, the young master has created an opportunity for us. We can take them down effortlessly. Moreover, we can avoid commercial competition that consumes money. One could say that it kills two birds with one stone.”

The butler had a smile and a mysterious look on his face, which made the father and son on the couch a little baffled.

“Don’t keep us guessing. What’s the solution?”

Wei Jian became impatient and asked him directly.

The Wei family had indeed invested in the establishment of Unique Treasure Hall. Moreover, because of Wei Jian’s position, he was able to receive orders from the City Protection Force for the production of military equipment. However, because of the backward market, his reputation was much worse than that of Treasure Pavilion.

As, the Wei family had used commercial methods many times, causing many obstacles to Treasure Pavilion, including monopolizing certain materials and selling them at low prices. However, it was still difficult to hurt its foundation, and they could not compete with it.

That brought the profits and losses of Unique Treasure Hall to a negative for half a year. Wei Jian had been having a headache because of it.

He could not think of any way to take Treasure Pavilion down without bloodshed. Therefore, when he heard the butler say that there was a way, he still did not have much hope in his heart.

At this time, his butler slowly said, “Grandpa, my suggestion is actually very simple. Kick the dojo! Don’t underestimate this approach. Sometimes, kicking the dojo can solve most of your problems.”

Wei Jian raised his eyebrows slightly in bewilderment and asked, “Kick the dojo? How?! Our two families are both chambers of commerce, not martial arts dojos. What’s the use of this?!”

Wei Jiaming nodded and looked confused.

The butler smiled mysteriously and said, “We can send people to Treasure Pavilion to cause trouble. We can say that we want the two chambers of commerce to learn from each other and exchange casting techniques. We can also ask the media to report it so that Treasure Pavilion has no choice but to accept our invitation!”

“When the time comes, the two chambers of commerce will have a casting showdown. The best one will seize the market in Shanglin City. When Treasure Pavilion loses, they will also lose face. In the future, no one will buy their materials and appoint commissions to them!”

Once he got to this point, a sinister smile appeared on the butler’s face, as though he was holding a pearl of wisdom in his hand.

Hiss…

Wei Jian sat up straight. His eyes narrowed slightly as he began to think about the areas that could be manipulated.

However, the inexperienced Wei Jiaming still did not quite understand. He could not help but ask, “A casting duel? So, what are we going to compete in?”

The butler looked at Wei Jiaming’s expectant gaze and answered with a vicious smile, “Let’s compete in the forging of defensive equipment. As long as Treasure Pavilion agrees, our Unique Treasure Hall will definitely win!”

As soon as he said that, Wei Jiaming instantly seemed interested! He could not help but slap his thigh and exclaim, “Not bad, Butler Zhang. I’m really satisfied with your plan!”

He could not help but feel excited. Competing with Treasure Pavilion to forge defensive equipment was a brilliant plan.

One should know that the Wei family’s Unique Treasure Hall was backed by the City Protection Force of Shanglin City. The officials had recently developed a new set of defensive equipment for the City Protection Force and were preparing to have Unique Treasure Hall mass produce it.

The Wei family had known about the new defensive equipment since the beginning. Moreover, they had seen the heavy equipment with their own eyes.

Wei Jiaming had learned from his father that the armor was called Soft Golden Silk Armor. It was a powerful armor forged by a Six-star blacksmith in Shanglin City.

Although the Soft Golden Silk Armor was only of Rare grade, its effects were surprisingly good.

After the family tested it, they found that the Soft Golden Silk Armor could not only weaken a large number of physical attacks, but it also had good defensive power against magic attacks.

Weapons of the same level could not destroy it at all. Once it was worn, it was almost invincible.

The defensive equipment competition would involve actual combat. As Treasure Pavilion’s special consultant, Wu Mo would definitely participate in the defensive competition with him.

When that time came, he, Wei Jiaming, could force Wu Mo, who was participating in the competition, to go on stage and test Treasure Pavilion’s armor.

It is important to note that on the stage, fists and feet had no eyes. Moreover, when it came to the defensive test of equipment, even if someone was killed by the opponent’s weapon, both sides could not have the slightest objection.

One could imagine what kind of situation Wei Jiaming would be in when he faced Wu Mo on the stage, wearing the Soft Golden Silk Armor!
