“Gao Yue, I think you’re mistaken. We just want to have a friendly exchange with you about casting technology. We have no intention of doing such a thing!” Wei Ying said nonchalantly and extended his hand.

“This time, Unique Treasure Hall has come with sincerity. The two sides will only rely on their forging strength to determine the winner. In the future, there will be no fighting in the open or in the dark. After the compet.i.tion, the loser will admit that his skills are inferior to that of his opponent. From then on, he will never interfere in the development of the other chamber of commerce. How about it?!”

Gao Yue frowned slightly. He looked at the two pract.i.tioners behind Wei Ying and glanced at the tripods that had been set up by the reporters and media people. He could not help but feel some anger.

The people of Unique Treasure Hall were sure that he did not dare to fight in front of the media cameras, hence they were so arrogant.

However, what made him uneasy was the fact that Wei Ying had actually advanced to become a Five-star blacksmith in just two months. If a compet.i.tion were to actually take place, he was afraid that the blacksmiths hired by Treasure Pavilion would not be a match for him!

However, Gao Yue had no way out right now. He could only take things one step at a time and agreed readily.

“Alright! Our Treasure Pavilion has had a grudge against you for a long time. Today, we will use the forging technique compet.i.tion to completely settle our feud. The loser must admit that his skills are inferior to the other party’s, and from then on, he will not object to the other party’s development!”

Hearing Gao Yue agree to the compet.i.tion, the spectators on the street immediately became excited.

They knew that when the two big chambers of commerce competed, one of them would be at a disadvantage. Such a compet.i.tion was rare on normal days. The people tried their best to squeeze in to get closer.

Although the onlookers were excited, the receptionists and security guards standing around Manager Gao were a little nervous.

Compared with the people from Unique Treasure Hall who had made ample preparations, Treasure Pavilion had been completely caught off guard. Could they really win the compet.i.tion like this?

Moreover, the compet.i.tion was obviously partial to Unique Treasure Hall. Those people had only been in the city for less than two years. How could they catch up with the efforts of Treasure Pavilion after so many years just by winning one compet.i.tion?

Therefore, in the eyes of the staff, this was a scheme meticulously planned by the people from Unique Treasure Hall. Once they agreed, it would be difficult for them to jump out again.

“Tell me, which aspect of forging do you plan to compete in?”

Gao Yue held his hands behind his back and asked with a cold expression.

Wei Ying looked at Manager Gao with a smile. Then, he slowly extended his index finger and said, “Let’s see who can forge better defensive equipment!”

“What do you think, Manager Gao?”

Wei Ying paced around slowly and replied with a confident expression.

Wei Jiaming, who was standing in the periphery, immediately became excited when he heard their conversation. As long as Treasure Pavilion’s store manager agreed, the plan would already be 80% successful. After all, there were media witnesses now. They would not have the chance to go back on their word later on!

Gao Yue and Wei Ying stood in front of the door and confronted each other. Gao Yue contemplated for a moment. In terms of defensive equipment, Treasure Pavilion had quite a lot of experience and finished specimens. The blacksmiths under their banner should also have quite a lot of experience.

Although Wei Ying was already a Five-star forger, he had just advanced, so his strength had probably not increased by much.

There were three Four-star blacksmiths in Treasure Pavilion. Seeing that both chambers of commerce were each other’s foil, the equipment Treasure Pavilion forged might not necessarily be inferior to the other party!

Taking that into consideration, Gao Yue raised his head and looked at Wei Ying. “Since Unique Treasure Hall is determined to compete with us, what’s the harm in agreeing to it?! But you have to keep your promise. If you lose, you need to apologize in public and never disturb our precious Treasure Pavilion ever again! ”

“Hahaha…”

Once he heard Gao Yue actually agree, Wei Ying’s face immediately revealed a savage smile.

“Don’t worry, Manager Gao. If we lose, we will definitely do it.”

“However, you’re a little too simple-minded. With the trash that you support, how could they possibly be my match?!”

Wei Ying’s lips curled up into a cold smile right after. He looked at the three blacksmiths standing behind Gao Yue as if he was looking at ants.

In his opinion, those below four stars were considered low-level in the field of forging. They could only use low-level methods to forge equipment. To him, they would only enter the threshold after they reached five stars and possessed a divine sense.

Therefore, he did not attach any importance to those blacksmiths. Even if he had to forge equipment on the spot, he was confident that he could easily defeat them. Not to mention, the Wei family had already prepared defensive equipment long ago. It was equipment forged by officials, and that was enough to crush this group of ants!

The moment the three blacksmiths standing behind Gao Yue heard Wei Ying’s words, their expressions became unsightly.

“You’re going too far! Don’t think that just because you’re a Five-star blacksmith, you’re so amazing. The three of us working together will easily beat you!”

“That’s right. In terms of actual combat experience, we’re not inferior to you!”

“How sad. A person like you becoming a blacksmith is simply a tragedy in the foundry world!”

The three Treasure Pavilion blacksmiths all rolled their sleeves up their arms as they cursed angrily. Their imposing manner did not waver in the slightest.

Seeing this, Gao Yue snorted coldly and said, “Wei, stop trying to be slick. If you have the ability, use it. Whether it’s equipment forging or quant.i.ty of materials, Treasure Pavilion’s is definitely good at both!”

On the streets, Gao Yue’s voice reverberated throughout the crowd. Many residents cheered for Treasure Pavilion’s extraordinary character.

Even the audience watching the live broadcast on the news platforms started to praise it one after another.

“As a veteran chamber of commerce in Shanglin City, you can’t measure Treasure Pavilion’s forging talents with such a comparison.”

“That’s right. The development of this chamber of commerce cannot be changed by a mere Five-star blacksmith. Treasure Pavilion’s reputation has been tested by numerous merchants and customers. If anyone dares to defame it, I will be the first to disagree.”

“It’s said that the Wei family is behind Unique Treasure Hall. Their power can’t be underestimated either. I wonder if Treasure Pavilion will be able to survive this crisis.”

On the website, many people showed more support for one side. Most people did not have a good impression of Unique Treasure Hall. After all, such an aggressive demeanor tended to put people off.

After the media people saw the increasing number of comments on their video, the broadcast became even more exciting.

They even increased the number of camera angles, and they were bound to broadcast the entire match.

Right then, the camera captured how the Wei family’s steward looked at Gao Yue with a face full of ridicule. In his opinion, Treasure Pavilion was eventually going to lose the match. Now, they only needed to watch and come back a week later to take the victory. They would then spread the news and completely destroy Treasure Pavilion.

Wei Jiaming had a playful expression on his face too, especially when he saw the unyielding looks on the faces of the few blacksmiths. He found it rather funny.
