Chapter 821: Solving the Issue (Part One)
At this moment, everyone realized the real strength of the mysterious master inside the building.
Now, everyone’s mind turned blank, and they felt like their brains weren’t capable of processing this information.
This was a super shocking moment. Everything that happened before told everyone that this black-haired young man in white was a master, but they didn’t expect him to be on that level; they had no clue that he was a Sun-Class Lord who could fly anywhere in the world, move land, and fill oceans.
A Sun-Class Lord was invincible in people’s minds.
At least in the history of Talon City, a Sun-Class Lord had never appeared.
Right now, that golden sun image in the sky made everyone have a hard time breathing.
On the Azeroth Continent, warriors in each realm had their own unique way of showing their power.
The Star-Level Warriors could use their warrior energy to create star swirls above their heads, and the Moon-Class Elites could form images of a moon that had different levels of fullness.
The bright sun that everyone was seeing right now didn’t give off much pressure, but that pure visual shock was enough to let everyone know that this young man was a Sun-Class Lord.
Even though there was no suffocating pressure, the soldiers didn’t need the commands from their officers or worry about what the Castellan was thinking. They all dropped their weapons and kneeled, not daring to raise their heads.
This was the level of respect that a true master deserved.

A Sun-Class Lord was like a god to Talon City, and there was no way that they could defeat him. Even in the eyes of the Royal Family of Leon, a Sun-Class Lord was of supreme status, and they didn’t want to offend such a figure if it weren’t absolutely necessary.
“Castellan Henry, you can stand out now, right?”
A calm voice sounded from [Cauldron-Casting Shop].
After a few seconds, a thin and tall middle-aged man staggered and walked out from behind the soldiers since he didn’t dare to hesitate. Even though he was wearing fancy armor with rubies inlaid in it and a golden crown, these glamourous items couldn’t bring him a sense of security. There were dark circles under his eyes, and his steps were light and weak. Fei could tell that he used to be a warrior, but not much was left in him after he drowned himself in liquor and lust.
This man was Henry, the Castellan of Talon.
Ashen-faced, Castellan Henry slowly walked up with shaking legs. Perhaps due to extreme fear, he fell onto the ground after taking a few steps forward. However, he didn’t dare to slow down and crawled to the door of [Cauldron-Casting Shop]. Without daring to raise his head, he said in a shaking voice, “I’m Carl Henry, the Castellan of Talon. It is an honor to meet you. I…”
Right now, he was no longer that arrogant Castellan who dominated over this city.
“Alright, I don’t have much time to listen to your nonsense. Come on and tell me, how did my [Cauldron-Casting Shop] conspire with bandits? And how did we collude with the Sea Tribe? I heard that you have sufficient evidence and want to arrest everyone…” Fei didn’t finish speaking, but his tone made everything clear.
“This…” Henry shivered in fear.
He was the Castellan appointed by the Royal Family of Leon, and he had a middle-to-high status in Leon. Even other noblemen and wealthy forces didn’t dare to mess with him easily.
However, if a Sun-Class Lord killed him, the Leon Empire wouldn’t avenge him. In fact, if a Sun-Class Lord killed ten nobles who were on his level, the Leon Empire wouldn’t want to flip out on such a figure.
“Sir, this… there must be some misunderstandings… our intelligence report might be wrong. I… I will go back and check for sure…”
Castellan Henry rolled his eye as thousands of thoughts flashed in his mind while he kowtowed repeatedly. Although he was vicious and cruel, he loved his own life more than anything else. Therefore, he acted tame and friendly like a well-trained dog as he tried to explain all this, and he was cursing Glazer in his mind.

“Didn’t he say that he did all the investigation and is sure that [Cauldron-Casting Shop] has no powerful background? How come there is a Sun-Class Lord? This is more terrifying than any big force!” he thought to himself.
“Enough; I don’t want to listen to your explanations. I only want to tell you three things today,” the voice sounded from the building.
“Yes, yes, yes. Sir, please say.” Castellan Henry didn’t even dare to raise his head.
“First, [Cauldron-Casting Shop] is law-abiding and pays taxes on time every month. There is no connection between [Cauldron-Casting Shop], bandits, and the Sea Tribe.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Of course. It was us who didn’t do the investigation properly. [Cauldron-Casting Shop] is the friendliest business in Talon City.”
“Second, [Blade-Washing Shop] is bullying everyone and disrupted normal market activity. They damaged the building, smashed our products, and injured our employees. The losses total to 130,000 gold coins, and they have to compensate.”
“For sure, for sure! [Blade-Washing Shop] has had shady business practices for quite some time now, and we have already started to investigate. An immoral merchant like Glazer will be kicked out of the city. From now on, [Cauldron-Casting Shop] will be the only weapon shop in Talon City.”
“Third, I don’t want anything bad to happen after today, and I don’t want people harassing the customers of [Cauldron-Casting Shop]. I don’t want to see anything similar happening from now on.
Castellan Henry kowtowed and said, “Of course! I promise with the honor as a noble of Leon!”
The voice inside the shop paused for a second; it seemed like that young man was deciding something. During this time, Castellan Henry was nervous. From the tone of the person inside [Cauldron-Casting Shop], it sounded like he wouldn’t be killed. However, he had never been so scared of someone in his life.
“That is all! Get out of here!” that voice sounded again and said without holding back.
Castellan Henry exhaled, and his heart that was in his throat dropped back into his chest. Without daring to show any displeasure, he quickly got up and ran away. After taking two steps, his legs still felt weak, and he almost collapsed again. A few soldiers quickly ran up to him and carried him out of here.
Then, the soldiers around [Cauldron-Casting Shop] fell back like a falling tide, disappearing as fast as they could as if they were never here.
The vague image of the rising golden sun in the sky slowly disappeared as well, and the golden energy flames dissipated into the air.
Standing behind doors on the street and at the ends of the street, people who were spectating this massive confrontation felt like they had a strange dream. At this moment, they still couldn’t believe that they were able to get so close to a Sun-Class Lord. They felt like they saw a god with their own eyes!
Everyone knew that [Cauldron-Casting Shop] was now going to be one of the most influential forces in Talon City.
Old fox Glazer had bullied other shops in the industry and the customers, but he finally failed miserably today. There was no way that he could turn this around, and there was no place for him in Talon City. No one would dare to do business with someone who offended a Sun-Class Lord.
Now seeing this old fox leaving the hall of [Cauldron-Casting Shop] like a chicken who lost its feather, people were surprised that the people of [Cauldron-Casting Shop] didn’t kill him, but they were still thrilled when they saw this.
“This devil has such a day as well! He deserves it!” people thought to themselves.
That night, old fox Glazer who had lived in Talon City for dozens of years left with some of his servants and disappeared, never returning.
Many years after, people in Talon City already started to forget about this powerful and cunning old man, but they couldn’t forget that exciting night where a Sun-Class Lord appeared in [Cauldron-Casting Shop]. When they recalled this legendary story, they would remember the unluckiest person that evening.
Crack!
A flash of lightning dashed across the sky, and dark clouds gathered before heavy rain fell.
Talon City instantly quieted down, but people’s minds were stirred.
The people who had witnessed that event were excited to see a Sun-Class Lord, and many people came to [Cauldron-Casting Shop] that had closed already in the heavy rain, trying to sense the aura of a master. Even if they could only have a glance at a Sun-Class Lord, they would be satisfied.
Fei didn’t stay in [Cauldron-Casting Shop] that night.
He returned to the hotel that he was staying in before midnight, and Buckingham had already returned. Just as Fei expected, this man wasn’t in a good mood.
