Chapter 151: Ignoring the law

Translator: Udong Editor: Waffles

Even the leader of the student Durk was surrounded by a few members of Commercial Trading Firm as they asked a lot of questions and appeared very intimate. Durk and other warrior students were all confused. "What is going on?" They all thought.

Durk saw Qian Jin who looked a little lonely in the group of people, so he nodded at the three members from Commercial Trading Firm and waved at Qian Jin. When the members saw Qian Jin walking towards them, the expressions on their faces instantly changed.

"Gentlemen." Durk grabbed onto Qian Jin’s hand intimately and introduced him to the three members, "He is also a Grade Three warrior student at our academy, and he would definitely become a great warrior in the future. If any of your trade caravans need to hire guards, he is a great candidate."

Qian Jin thanked Durk for his warm introduction. In this situation, he wasn’t in a good position to tell Durk that these members of Commercial Trading Firm were not interested in hiring them as guards, even though the guard was a good job with a good pay.

The three members smiled awkwardly and nodded. They were all screaming in their heads, "Do we need your introduction? We don’t need you to tell us that he is a great warrior! The warrior who can kill Demon Fighters and Bloodline Warriors is definitely great!

"What do you think? Are you bosses interested in hiring warrior students from our Oakland’s Warrior and Mage Academy as guards?" Qian Jin didn’t give the few members of Commercial Trading Firm the chance to explain themselves. He knocked his chest with his fist and gave a warrior salute as he said, "I will thank you guys in advance. I will remember you guys. I got something to do, so you guys continue where you left off."

The members felt like they ate a raw bitter-melon. Since Qian Jin already said thanks and said that he will remember them, it meant that the low-level warriors from Oakland’s Warrior and Mage Academy, who could only get to the army and get a military salary, right now didn’t need to worry around finding a job at an adventurer team or a mercenary team after they survive from the Human-Demon Battlefront. They could start working as a guard at the Commercial Trading Firm with a good pay.

Not hiring warrior students from the academy? The members looked at Qian Jin’s back and shrunk their heads subconsciously. He had already shown his thanks by giving them the highest warrior salute. So did he thank them for nothing? They dared let him thank them for nothing. This was just based on his madness, let alone Fabreidis’ and Sabonis’ faces.

Durk looked at the members he was talking to in surprise and said, "So you do want to hire guards from our academy? That’s great! I will go back and get this organized for you! Trust me, our students are very responsible."

The members could only smile bitterly and nod; they couldn’t say anything else.

Qian Jin walked in the crowd, and the guests all moved to the sides and let out a path for him subconsciously. Soon, a tough man who was short but had two strong arms appeared in their sights – It was Franklin from Franklin’s Blacksmith Shop.

Franklin was in a suit today, and he looked completely different from the Franklin who was in a full body of sweats. He was surrounded by a few merchant looking people, and they were engaged in a conversation.

"Uncle Franklin, long-time no see."

Qian Jin greeted as he walked towards him. The merchants saw him and quickly found excuses to go somewhere else.

"Qian Jin!" Franklin was very surprised, and a joyful expression appeared on his face. He opened his arms and gave Qian Jin a firm hug. "I missed you so much! Where did a little kid like you go? People were saying that you went missing in the Sunset Mountains. I hired more than a dozen adventurer teams to go and find you, but they only found several..."

Franklin got close to Qian Jin and whispered, "Corpses that were obviously chopped by a Zhanmadao."

Qian Jin was a little touched. "This elder hired so many adventurer teams trying to find me..." He thought.

"Relax." Franklin patted Qian Jin’s back and whispered, "I took care of the corpses, no one will find out."

Qian Jin laughed. When he was thinking, this man thought he was worried about the killing incidents being discovered by others and disclosed that he had helped him to take care of business.

"I will find another time to talk to you about what I experienced for the last two years." Qian Jin followed up and asked, "How is your business for last two years?"

"Great! It’s very good!" However, the excitement in Franklin’s eyes soon disappeared and sadness took over. "Too made that little fatty Rollin is no longer here. Damn it, Cae Family! I won’t let this go!"

Qian Jin was very surprised. Although he didn’t know this man for too long, he knew Rollin for a long time. He had never heard his old friend say that he was very close to Franklin.

Franklin discovered the confusion in Qian Jin’s eyes. He smacked his head and said, "I forgot to tell you. After you went missing, that little Rollin wanted to get into the weaponry business. He came to me and we chatted. During the chat, we realized that we both know you, then..."

"Hehe..." Franklin sighed, "That little fatty’s business skill is really good. Before, I was using the kitchen knife that you left to market my blacksmith shop, and me and Lucas each got 30% of the market share at Oakland; we couldn’t really get rid of each other. But when I joined forces with little fatty, Lucas had to move his entire shop to the center city at Yulee State, Yulee City, in two months."

The few merchants who surrounded Franklin beforehand didn’t go far; they would peek at the direction of Franklin frequently as if they were bears who saw a honey jar. Although there were a lot of bees protecting the honey jar, they were still not willing to leave.

Franklin looked at these merchants as he sneered. He told Qian Jin, "Maybe you don’t know. Just the day before yesterday when I came to pay respect to Rollin, there wasn’t a single live people here except Rosella and Julius!"

Qian Jin smiled and didn’t answer. "How could I not know? Looks like Franklin still doesn’t know what happened to people like Caeller."

It was about time to take the coffin to the graveyard. Eight muscular strong men walked towards the coffin and lifted it together and headed towards the grave. The people in the yard organized themselves based on their status and formed a long line behind these eight men as they followed their steps.

When most of the residents of Oakland saw the people in the line, their first reaction was, "Did the mayor Mr. Sabonis return to the stars?" This line of mourners was the most powerful and influential line in Oakland’s most recent history!

During the process of burying the coffin, mayor Sabonis hosted the funeral personally, and sad tears dripped from many people’s eyes. Qian Jin who was watching the whole scene was amazed; if he didn’t know Rollin well, he would think that these people were so close with Rollin that they could even share the same underwear.

The whole process took a long time, and it finally came to an end in the evening. When people saw mayor Sabonis leave, they slowly walked up to Rosella one by one and said their farewell. The only thing was that these people’s attitude became more serious and sincere compared to when they first came.

After sending off everyone that came due to the mayor’s invitation, there weren’t many people left in the yard of Roll Family. Roll Family, which was once busy and noisy, quieted down.

Gomez Jane walked out of the building at the back; [Dual Moon] was hanging by her waist like always. She walked to Rosella and said lightly, "This place is not same, come and live at my place."

Qian Jin who just walked into the yard was stunned. He was going to talk to Fabreidis about this matter, and he didn’t expect this woman, who was usually silent, to speak first. Gomez Jane’s words sounded like an order. She dragged Rosella into the building at the back to pack up and didn’t give her any chance of refusing.

"It’s nice to have such a woman behind your back to take care of stuff for you, right?" Fabreidis stood behind Qian Jin proudly as he said, "She could think of and take care of things in your family before you even realize it. It could help you reduce a lot of trouble so you can focus on the important things."

Qian Jin felt like he was having a headache when he looked at the figure of the beautiful girl who was walking away. "Although Zence Empire’s law doesn’t prohibit marrying more than one woman, how can I face Luna who is still waiting for me on the long street under the moon?" he thought.

"What are your thoughts on going to the Warrior Union at Yulee State?"

Fabreidis interrupted Qian Jin’s thinking process as he threw out the question that he asked before.

"Yes! Why not?" Qian Jin shrugged his shoulders as he looked up at the moon that was rising in the sky, "I have to go just for becoming a mayor! On top of that, fatty Rollin is still staring at me from the stars, waiting for me to command of the wind and cloud!"

It was midnight, and Oakland was as quiet as ever. The people who participated in Rollin’s funeral didn’t go home; they formed small groups of three to five and discussed what the event meant for their future. action

People who had connected were all going to the general of City’s Defense Force Zhang Mumbai to try to get more information. "Why did the president of Commercial Trading Firm, who would even try to appear high and elegant in front of the mayor, rush into the mourning hall today so fast? He ran faster than when his father passed away."

Zhang Mumbai shut his mouth and shook his head to every visitor. Who could know if a madman like Qian Jin would come here with a blade if he knew he told everyone about his secrets?

Killing a general of the empire would result in a serious crime! But was Qian Jin scared of the law? Even Cae Family dared to ignore the empire’s law in front of profits, and Qian Jin was a madman who dared to kill members of Cae Family.

Qian Jin stood in front of the academy, and he looked up at the old plate on the gate that said "Oakland’s Warrior and Mage Academy". After a moment of recall, he walked into the campus to see instructor Rodriguez, who told him to come during the day.

There wasn’t any light in the Managing Director’s Office. Qian Jin scratched his head as he thought, "Instructor is not the type of person who could forget this kind of matter. What is going on...?"

Qian Jin saw the lights at the Principal’s Office and was quite surprised. "Principal Caeller had already returned to the stars this morning to beg for forgiveness from Rollin this morning, but why is the light still on? Did Caeller become an undead and come back? Is someone trying to steal Caeller’s stuff? As the principal of the academy and the man at the wheel for Cae Family at Oakland, he probably has some valuables."
