Chapter 75: Decision
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The reason why Kimmich wanted to win was because he wanted to snatch Claude’s forging orders.
The absurd thing was that Kimmich actually managed to succeed in this, although most people were not sure about the process of their competition, for some reason, the fact that Claude had lost to Kimmich in forging became known by many people and was spread around rapidly.
On this matter, Claude was certain that Kimmich was responsible for the spread of the news, but the matter did not end just there. After this, rumors regarding Ye Feng and Claude started to spread in the City of Chaos as well.
Ye Feng and Claude instantly became people that everyone hated and despised for some reason, even those people who liked his weapons and had orders with him started to find other Blacksmiths.
Sometimes, Claude would think to himself, why did the situation become like this? Were these people experiencing memory loss?
He thought about it, during this period of time, even though Claude received many orders, he still did his best when forging their weapons, they were all very satisfied with what they received.
In fact, the fees were very low.
What he could not understand was, these people who were originally very respectful to Ye Feng suddenly became hostile, after he lost that match with Kimmich, Ye Feng’s reputation also fell. This was something that Claude could not understand no matter what.
Claude did not expect the situation to end up like this.
Before this, there were many beastmen who came to order weapons, but because of this situation, they stopped coming to Claude.
In their perspective, Kimmich was indeed considered a good alternative, at this point, his goal had basically been achieved.
The reason why he approached Claude and challenged him was because he wanted the large number of orders that Claude was handling.
Now, only the Auction House of the City of Chaos still placed orders with Claude.
The City of Chaos’s Auction House was not stupid, they were able to easily differentiate the difference in quality, thus, they were not going to change the Blacksmith to an inferior one.
At first, Claude did not feel anything about it, he was merely angry about the issue but he did not think that Kimmich would attack him so heavily, thus, his initial focus was on the forging aspect.
But after Kimmich left, Claude found that the issue with his forging stemmed from the fact that he had suffered considerable injuries, because of this, Claude was rather unhappy with what had happened.
In this relatively short life, Kimmich had given him an important lesson, he had not thought that a person could act so unscrupulously just for a small competition.
But now that he got injured, Claude could do nothing but endure that indignance as he rested and healed his injuries.
After Claude’s injuries healed, he went to find Kimmich and said: “Earlier, you used a despicable move to win, I want to have a fair match with you now.”
Claude was very clear that the reason why this situation had become like this was because he lost. As long as he won another match, this crisis would be resolved on its own.
Claude’s intention was simple and clear, it was ideal and pure, thus, precisely because of this, when Claude went to find Kimmich, he did not consider the reason why Kimmich was so bent on winning.
After Kimmich heard Claude’s words, his expression turned rather sinister, he replied: “Why do you think I’ll compete with you again? I’ve already won once, don’t you know?”
“You did not win, at the start, you attacked…”
While Claude was talking, he did not notice Kimmich’s actions, before he finished his words, while he was distracted, Kimmich attacked again and injured Claude, he looked down at Claude and spoke in disdain: “You are simply unaware of your own weakness.”
Claude was caught unguarded and could not react in time, thus, he could be said to have taken the full brunt of Kimmich’s attack, he was instantly heavily injured from this hit.
Claude’s injuries had not fully healed from the last attack, now, his injuries were aggravated again, he could not take this anymore.
“You are too despicable…”
“I never said I was a righteous person.”
And Ye Feng who was far away in Aden City also heard of this news for some reason, he did not expect anyone to use such unscrupulous methods against Claude.
The two of them had a clear difference in strength to begin with, because Claude’s forging skills had a deep foundation, even if Kimmich could snatch his orders away, because of the difference in their skills, Claude would still win in the end.
But what happened now was simply too much to ignore.
After hearing this news, Ye Feng left without second thoughts, he despised such an unscrupulous person and decided to pack up his things and make a trip to the City of Chaos.
This was an absurd matter in Ye Feng’s eyes, especially the attack on Claude, it was simply despicable and unforgivable.
Blake saw that Ye Feng was packing his luggage, he felt surprised: “Teacher, where are you going?”
“The City of Chaos.” Ye Feng did not even raise his head when he replied, but even so, he could sense Blake’s excitement towards this matter of going out.
“Teacher, I will go with you.” Without hesitation, Blake immediately suggested to accompany him.
Before Ye Feng said anything, Blake started to explain the reason why he suggested this: “Teacher, if you go alone, it will be very tiring, to speak the truth, bringing someone along has no demerits.”
He puffed up his chest proudly: “Please bring me along, I can resolve problems for you. With you by my side, I will not be in danger either. This is actually a good experience for me, teacher, what do you think?”
