The next day.
Leng Feiyan went into seclusion for a while, so Lin Jichen had to put his grand plan of wooing her on hold and return to Fengqu City.
Wang Jinghao had already urged him no less than ten tis, asking when he would complete the task.
Ever since he paid the money, Wang Jinghao had been eagerly waiting for Lin Jichen to deliver the Earth Grade axe, practically counting the stars and the moon.
Lin Jichen had signed a contract, so he naturally wouldn't renege on it. However, he had been in the Tale of Immortal land and had to go through a Tribulation Crossing, which caused the delay.
Wang Jinghao had been getting impatient these days. If it weren't for their superficial brotherly relationship, he would have taken the contract to the system and demanded enforcent long ago.
"Brother, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you so bitterly," Wang Jinghao said, wrapping his arm around Lin Jichen's shoulder in the private room on the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, acting as if they were close siblings.
Lin Jichen gave a professional fake smile and apologized, "I'm really sorry. I've been out on missions these past few days. I ca back just to deliver the equipnt to you, Brother Wang."
"Haha, why the rush? I wasn't worried you wouldn't deliver. Our brotherhood is solid," Wang Jinghao laughed.
Lin Jichen smiled knowingly and took out the Six Harmonies and Eight Trigrams Axes.
Seeing the design of the axes, Wang Jinghao and his subordinates exclaid in awe. These axes were so cool!
Wang Jinghao couldn't take his eyes off them and imdiately grabbed the axes. After checking their attributes, he couldn't help but shout out in excitent.
It was understandable; after all, he hadn't seen much of the world and hadn't co across many good pieces of equipnt. Naturally, he thought the attributes of these axes were impressive.
However, when Wang Jinghao saw the requirent for using the axes, his face changed instantly.
"These... these axes require the Golden Core Realm to use?"
Lin Jichen nodded innocently, "Yes."
"I... Damn it..." Wang Jinghao almost cursed out loud, "Brother, why didn't you tell earlier?"
"Brother Wang, you didn't ask," Lin Jichen said righteously, adding, "As soon as you heard I got this Earth Grade axe, you wanted to buy it without asking anything and signed the contract with . I thought you were in a hurry to get this Earth Grade weapon because of its reputation."
Lin Jichen continued with a face full of grievance, "My girlfriend even argued with over this, wanting to cancel the contract. I didn't agree and delivered it to you as soon as I finished my mission. Do you think it was easy for ?"
Wang Jinghao was stunned and speechless.
A subordinate couldn't help but complain, "These axes require the Golden Core Realm to use. They're not worth thirty million."
Wang Jinghao said nothing, which was a silent agreent, clearly his true intention.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jichen exploded, pointing at the subordinate and cursing, "Who the hell do you think you are to talk to like that? Do you deserve to speak to ?"
"I..." The subordinate was furious.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jichen, with a dark face, turned to Wang Jinghao and said, "Brother Wang, I did everything according to your request. My girlfriend hasn't spoken to for days because of this. If you don't want it, fine. Give back the axes, and I'll transfer the thirty million back to you. The contract is void, and let's end this here. Consider it my one-sided wish!"
Wang Jinghao's eyes flickered as he stared at Lin Jichen, trying to find any flaw in his expression.
Unfortunately, Lin Jichen remained indignant, his eyes red with anger, clearly genuinely upset.
Wang Jinghao had seen many skilled actors, and he could tell if soone was acting.
Lin Jichen was definitely not acting; it was all genuine emotion, and he believed it.
Moreover, Lin Jichen looked under twenty years old. What kind of scheming could such a young kid have? He was just a naive youngster.
Wang Jinghao's attitude imdiately changed. He smiled and grabbed Lin Jichen's arm, saying, "Oh, brother, there's no need for this. Our business may not work out, but our friendship remains. Besides, this is indeed my fault for not clarifying things, causing a misunderstanding. It's my mistake."
After saying that, Wang Jinghao slapped the subordinate who spoke, scolding, "My brother is right. Who do you think you are to interrupt when I'm talking to my brother? Apologize!"
The subordinate, holding his face, had no choice but to apologize to Lin Jichen.
"Alright, everyone out. I need to talk to my brother alone."
After the subordinates left, Wang Jinghao smiled awkwardly at Lin Jichen, "These subordinates have beco a bit arrogant lately. I'll discipline them properly when we get back!"
He comforted himself, "The attributes of these axes are indeed excellent. Don't worry, I'll still take this deal. It's just the Golden Core Realm; I'll wait."
Lin Jichen's expression finally softened, "Brother Wang, you're truly righteous."
"Of course. Let introduce soone to you. This is Xing Sen, the top expert of our Eternal Guild. Co on in, let introduce you to your idol. Haven't you always said Lin Jichen is your idol? Today, I'll fulfill your wish."
Wang Jinghao called out enthusiastically.
At this mont, a big guy walked in. He looked about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, tall and burly, with a very square face.
His face was so square that even Brad Pitt would envy it.
He had a decent appearance, rugged and honest, clearly not very scheming.
Seeing Lin Jichen, he scratched his head shyly and greeted, "Hello, I'm Xing Sen. Nice to et you."
Lin Jichen looked at the big, honest guy in front of him and nodded with a smile, "I'm Lin Jichen. Brother Wang said you're the top axe wielder in Tale of Immortal. Is that true?"
Xing Sen, embarrassed, quickly waved his hand, "No, no, Brother Wang is exaggerating. I'm just an ordinary player."
At this mont, Wang Jinghao received a phone call and stepped out to answer it.
Seeing Wang Jinghao was not around, Lin Jichen asked softly, "By the way, how did you et Brother Wang? How did you join the Eternal Guild?"
"Oh, a while ago, I was gathering materials in the Land of Blazing Flas when a group of players tried to rob . Fortunately, Brother Wang stepped in, drove them away, and even ordered his subordinates to help catch a cunning fox. That's how we t."
Lin Jichen sneered inwardly. The sa old trick.
"Then how did you join the Eternal Guild? I heard you signed a permanent contract," Lin Jichen asked again.
Xing Sen smiled, "After we t, Brother Wang often invited to explore Secret Realms and hunt monsters. We beca familiar with each other. Brother Wang is a great person. When he heard my sister was sick, he sent money and arranged the best hospital for her. He was very kind to us. Later, he asked to join the Eternal Guild, and I naturally agreed."
Lin Jichen sighed. When it ca to winning people's hearts, Wang Jinghao was indeed skilled.
Judging by Xing Sen's tone and attitude, it was clear he was utterly loyal to Wang Jinghao.
If Wang Jinghao hadn't later ruined it by defiling his sister, Xing Sen would probably have remained his most loyal henchman and bodyguard for life.
