With a resounding thud, the vital energy force hit hard on Austin.
Austin was sitting on the desk when the blow struck him.
As for him, the blow was nothing but a small push. Yet, for the chair he was sitting in, the blast was too much for it to sustain, and
within a second, it was broken into a thousand pieces.
Left with no choice, Austin finally stood up.
Thinking of the group's intention of bullying him and trying to take over the sword he had chosen, Austin gradually felt provoked
and enraged.
The damage to the shop facility irked the shopkeeper as well. Realizing the imminent fight between Sterling and Austin, he stood
up.
"Stop it!" chis high and irritated voice, stopping them just in time.
"Stop this instance, all of you! | don't care who you are, or where you cfrom. If you want to cause trouble in my Thousand
Weapons Pavilion and getembarrassed, then don't blme if | teach you a hard lesson about who you should never have
messed with!"
After saying that, the shopkeeper instantly released his vital energy force and took a fighting stance. Much to Austin's
astonishment, the man was at the premium stage of Master Realm.
Now that the handsman and his men had known the shopkeeper had the highest cultivation base among everyone in the
room, they began to recoil and retreat from their original plan of bullying him and Austin.
Even the two bodyguards that stood next to the handsman, as they were at the medium stage of Master Realm, which was
one stage below the shopkeeper's premium stage, began to show a sign of fear on their faces.

Having instructed by his master, Sterling had no choice but to press himself to fight for the sword. At that point, his vindictive and
defiant look had long vanished, replaced by a slave-like reverence and subservience.
Sterling bowed his head and folded his hands together as he walked towards the shopkeeper. He coughed once and then started
his plea.
"I apologize for my discourteous behavior just now. We are from the Song Clan. | think you have heard of us. And, this is young
master Ronald, the second heir of our clan.
He is also engaged to the daughter of the Hussar General. Now, he is on the way to visit the general's family, and he is in
desperate need of buying sdecent presents for them. We notice your shop has so many precious and valuable weapons. If you
allow us to have the swords my master wants, | assure you that we will offer a price that will please you," he said, looking eagerly
at the shopkeeper.
"No wonder | thought you people are special. You are from the Song Clan, hah?" the shopkeeper spoke.
He was not a fool. Having reached the premium stage of Master Realm, he had traversed through the world in his cultivation life
when he was young. It went without saying that in the process, he cacross different kinds of people and a variety of events—
sunfortunate, others providential.
He knew that in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, there were prominent five sects and four clans that were extremely famous
than the others.
Skipping the subject of the five sects, the four clans were respectively the Jiang Clan, the Song Clan, the Kong Clan, and the Chen
Clan.
And the handsman named Ronald before him was from the Song Clan. He was said to be the second son of the clan master,
affording him so many servants to follow to protect him.
Compared to the shopkeeper, Austin had no idea about the background of the Song Clan. And on top of that, he was not one to
care for a family's social position.
"I don't care where you cfrom. It has nothing to do withbuying this sword here. | have paid with my vital energy crystals,
so | owned the sword now," Austin proclaimed chilly, accusing the group with surprising nonchalance.
Not wanting to argue with them further, he just went ahead and put the Lightning Sword into his Space Ring.
The shopkeeper burst into laughter seeing Austin's action and said, "lI don't want to disappoint you all as you are my customers.
But this young man is right.
Our Thousand Weapons Pavilion sells weapons all across the South Continent.
For so many years, we have followed the rule of never judging customers by their identities, which is also why we can open so
many chain stores to extend our business and earn a good reputation all around the continent.
Our prestige will be smeared if | disobey the rule today and disappoint this young man who has rights and has cto terms with
As much as | want to satisfy you all, unfortunately, there is only one Lightning Sword.
You just have to take the other four and leave this one to this young man," the storekeeper uttered calmly, making an obscure
point.
His explanation was thorough and reasonable enough. Anyone would have understood and yielded if he had considered things
from the storekeeper's perspective.
However, Ronald felt shamed and mortified instead.
"You!" he cried, his voice clearly carrying an unbearable strain of fury.
Born as the second heir of the Song Clan in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, he not only had a silver spoon in his mouth but
also was overindulged and spoiled wherever he went. He didn't remember anyone ever saying no to his caprices—not until now.
Today, in front of all these people—especially in front of his own folks—an ordinary storekeeper directly refused him.

Fury clouded his face as he gritted his teeth in anger.
"I have just explained to you as reasonably best as | could. Seeing your reaction, you want to bring riot to my Thousand Weapons
Pavilion?" the storekeeper accused.
There was a curious change in his voice, which was sharp with annoyance and impatience.
Ronald did not dare to speak at once. Considering that none of his men were at par with the storekeeper in strength, he hesitated if
he would stick to his stubbornness.
A few moments later, the tension on his face alleviated and was replaced by a sly, cunning smile.
"Well then, if you insist, | won't press on you any longer," he said, smiling slyly at the storekeeper.
He then averted his eyes, facing Austin and saying, "Young man, how about having a deal with me?
If I saw it right, you have appreciations for the beauty of my four maidservants. | won't blyou for that. After all, you are a
young man with passion and energy. Look at how beautiful and extraordinary they are! In terms of sex, they are at least ten times
better and proficient than ordinary girls.
| guess you are only around twenty years old, which is just the age when you crave for sex and the need to release pressure from
the constant hard cultivation.
| think as compared to the sword, a maidservant who can make you cozy and warm your bed is what you really need.
So, | want to offer you one of my girls in exchange for the sword.
And in addition to that, | will also replenish the 150, 000 superior vital energy crystals that you just spent.
In that case, you not only get back your crystals but also earn such an exotic, sexy maidservant without breaking a sweat. You
really got blessed today, man," he suggested with a cunning grin on his face.
