Chapter 439: Trouble Caused by One Dance
Translator: Udong_ Editor: EbonyFrost, Udong_
York Leigh looked at York Nord who was mad. He sighed as he thought, "He is my son after all, but why can"t he be more like Qian Jin? Why cause trouble with Qian Jin? He is now the president of the Blacksmith Union in Yulee and from the look of it, he would also be the president of Torrent Battle Fort in the future."
One man who controlled two forces in Yulee and there are a lot of synergies between the two. Leigh had a sense that Qian Jin would be just under him in terms of unified strength if Qian Jin managed to unite the two smoothly.
"Uh..."
York Leigh peeked at his son again. "If only my son is half as good as Qian Jin, and why don"t I have a daughter? If I had a daughter, I would be able to marry Qian Jin into my force, and I would be the most powerful man in Yulee."
"What happened?"
Isabella stood by the gate with a fancy dress on. She was stunned as she heard all the congratulations people were giving to Qian Jin who was the center of attention. She looked at Qian Jin and Yunxing Huisheng in surprise. "This guy is the luckiest party-goer ever. He became the top 40 on the Hundred Battle Ranking List at the party last night and now he became the president of the Blacksmith Union today?" She thought.
"If this kid partic.i.p.ates in a few more parties..." Isabella looked through the guests and landed on Leigh York. "I won"t be surprised if he becomes the mayor." She thought.
Qian Jin, on the other hand, was talking with every person who walked up to congratulate him. These people were either people from forces in Yulee or other close-by cities. If the business of Roll Family was to get bigger, he would need their help.
Everyone at the party knew that Qian Jin"s name would rise faster than the sun tomorrow morning and he would quickly become the most famous person in Yulee.
After more than 20 minutes of chitchat, it wasn"t as crowded around Qian Jin. York Leigh walked to the podium and said, "Everyone, let the party officially begin!"
Qian Jin sensed Gomez Jane"s glare, so he walked up and invited her. "May I have this dance?"
Gomez Jane placed her hands on Qian Jin"s obediently. It was hard for people around them to believe that this quiet and cold beauty was so aggressive that she chopped someone"s hand off.
Many n.o.ble descendants stood on the dance floor and looked at the three beauties that should be invited by numerous people to dance.
The three girls stood by the dance floor quietly as they watched Qian Jin and Gomez Jane. Since this was happening, all these people also looked at Qian Jin and Gomez. After a short moment of staring, they all shook their heads and sighed as they give up.
Gomez Jane was scary, but she couldn"t kill everyone here unless she was tired of living. Even if the mayor wanted to cover for her, he won"t protect her and risk offending all the party-goers if she harmed too many people.
But the situation was different. Since Qian Jin was now the president of the Blacksmith Union, he was the leader of one of the most powerful forces in Yulee. To them, it looked like this man had a really good relations.h.i.+p with Torrent Battle Fort.
These three girls here were obviously Qian Jin"s women. Since Qian Jin didn"t say anything when Gomez Jane acted, he was indirectly agreeing with her action.
Offend Gomez Jane? Many people here believed that they could do so.
But offend Qian Jin? Ray Zhen felt a headache as he looked at Qian Jin dancing the night away. He didn"t expect the young man would suddenly become the president of the Blacksmith Union. Qian Jin"s status was completely different now. If he knew this was the case, Ray Zhen would try to kill Qian Jin himself rather than hiring an a.s.sa.s.sin.
Ray Zhen was full of regret. He knew that he shouldn"t be afraid of leaving evidence if he killed Qian Jin.
a.s.sa.s.sin! As soon as Ray Zhen thought of the a.s.sa.s.sin, he got even more furious. He heard that the a.s.sa.s.sin hired from that special channel would protect secrets and won"t say who hired them even if they were captured. But from the looks of things, he believed that it wasn"t true.
Members of Ray Family were getting a.s.sa.s.sinated since last night. If someone told him that it wasn"t from Qian Jin or the Torrent Battle Fort, he would believe that the undead were real.
The Ray Family was able to take on the Torrent Battle Fort. They could throw money at each other and see who had the most money. Although the Torrent Battle Fort fell into some money recently, they had been poor for many years so they couldn"t compare with the Ray Family.
But the Blacksmith Union, on the other hand, was completely different. Not only warriors, but regular people needed to go to them as well! The pots for cooking, hoes for farming, and all other tools. This union was a real rich union. Only the Pharmacist Union could compare with them in terms of money.
Even though the mages from the Magic Towers looked like they had many streams of income, they still couldn"t compare with the Blacksmith Union.
If Qian Jin took over Blacksmith Union... Ray Zhen started to sweat. If that really happened, the Ray Family would be in a dangerous situation.
No! I can"t let this happen! Ray Zhen looked at Ray Guamin with some deep thoughts. Although it was hard to go against Yunxing Huisheng who was a very influential figure in the blacksmith industry, Ray Guamin still could gather other people in the Blacksmith Union to stop Qian Jin. At most, the Ray Family would lose a ton of money. There was no one in the world who disliked money.
After four dances, Qian Jin was tired. Before he could get any rest, he sensed a wind with fragrance coming towards him.
"Ms. Princ.i.p.al." Qian Jin was surprised to see Isabella here, and he also didn"t expect Ms. Princ.i.p.al would be so hot in a red dress with a V-neck.
She was the only woman who could be compared to his four women at this party. Bright-red clothes usually had a fatty feel to it, but this dressed emphasized all of her curves. She was older than Lucifer Lucy, and her figure was even s.e.xier.
If Qian Jin considered Lucifer Lucy a green-apple that wasn"t yet ripe, then Princ.i.p.al Isabella was like a bright red apple. She was in her prime, not a little bit too young or a little bit too old.
Her milk-white skin seemed extra-smooth under the light of the magic lanterns. It seemed like water would appear if he pinched it.
A few n.o.ble descendants would only stand there and stare at this scene. Even though some people didn"t go to Punitive Academy, they still knew about the princ.i.p.al.
It wasn"t her first time going to a party, but no one had successfully invited her to a dance. The lucky ones were declined, and the unlucky ones who tried to force it was all sent to the hospital.
The Female Demon of Parties. After she went to several parties, she received this official t.i.tle. Now, no one dared to invite her anymore.
The princ.i.p.al of Punitive Academy, Bloodline Warrior. Both her influence and her strength was enough to take on any trouble. As long as she didn"t commit treason, she would be fine even if she beat people around.
"You..." Isabella crossed her arms in front of her chest and that pushed her breast out so much that it seemed like they were about to pop out. "Aren"t you going to invite me to a dance? Do I not qualify, President Qian?" She said.
Gooseb.u.mps instantly appeared on his skin. Although the princ.i.p.al wasn"t the leader of one of the eight forces in Yulee, her influence wasn"t less than any of them. When Qian Jin was called the president by her, he felt a chill going down his spine.
"Princ.i.p.al..."
"Nonono, at the party, you should address differently. This isn"t Punitive Academy."
"Isabella..."
"What? Am I not pretty enough for you?"
Qian Jin felt like he was losing to the princ.i.p.al. He heard stories where a young warrior would be fought over by instructors and the princ.i.p.al. Except for Gabriella who would enjoy that treatment, even the number one master at the academy, the Thunder Lion King – Linguan Skylan didn"t even enjoy this treatment in front of Ms. Princ.i.p.al.
Punitive Academy wasn"t a place to play around in. Unless one didn"t want to find potential retinues, didn"t want to learn more fighting techniques and didn"t want to establish a good network, he or she should be friendly towards the princ.i.p.al who could easily expel anyone.
"Beautiful Ms. Isabella, may I invite you to a dance?"
Qian Jin bowed and looked at Isabella like a real gentleman. Under the shocking stares, he was able to hold onto Izabella"s white hand.
"This... Qian Jin..."
Lenz Zarf couldn"t believe what he was seeing. He could still manage to accept that fact that Qian Jin became the president of Blacksmith Union, but he couldn"t comprehend what was happening.
Qian Jin successfully invited the princ.i.p.al to a dance! Thunder Lion King – Linguan Skylan had invited the princ.i.p.al as well before, but he was rejected. From that point on, as long as both of them were present, the Lion King would invite the princ.i.p.al, but it ended in rejection every time.
Lenz Zarf looked at h.o.a.re Tee who was beside him, and he found that his friend was even in a bigger shock. That"s right! This news was far more explosive to the students at Punitive Academy than the one before.
Blacksmiths and warriors were in two completely different circles, and many of the students didn"t realize what level of skills Qian Jin had in terms of forging.
"Qian Jin... he is in trouble..." People murmured.
