At the Yulong Iron Fortress.

Kiel is currently running for his life, his feet leaving frost in the ground, his hands creating mist from frost. There were a lot of shouts and cries, people were slipping one after another. Each one of them cursing their luck.

The merchants and store owners weren't spared either, their wares and good frozen from the frost.

"Sorry!" he shouted without looking back, he was to frantic escaping. Behind him where a group of four men wearing yellow robes with a insignia of a dragon's head breathing fire. The man leading them was in his middle twenties. He was shouting. "Quick! catch that boy! Don't let him get away!.

They pushed around confused onlookers, causing others to be displease. One old lady was even pushed to the side, and was injured. This brought the ire and wrath of the nearby onlookers. They clamored.

"Look at what they did to that old lady!"

"Just because we're poor, doesn't give you the right to treat us like this!".

"Capture them! They should be punished!"

The angry crowd blocked them. Some even had unsheathed their swords and some other took out knives from their clothes. Not all of them were really standing up for the old lady. Seeing the four expensive looks, other just want to fish in troubled water.

The leader tried pushing the crowd away, he shouted. "Get out of the away! Don't you know who we are!?"

A rock smashed in his head and he cried in pain. He shouted "Who threw that!"

The started to get beaten up. one of them said in anger. "We'll remember this!" They can't fight back because once they do so, the situation would turn for worse. The people would only get more angry and retaliation would become fiercer. Public unrest was the last thing they wanted.

Kiel looked back and he stopped. His eye's having a hint of hesitation. He muttered. "They won't die right? They don't deserve to die right?"

He gritted his teeth and continued running. he said in his heart. 'These people won't kill, and these group aren't good people, so why does that matter! Why are they even trying to catch me?'

He reached the fortress square, his breathing ragged. He stopped for a moment and wiped his sweat and calmed his rapidly beating heart. He said. "Finally.... I got away..."

He heaved a sigh of relief and looked around, he noticed something in peripheral vision. He took a second look and his heart almost stop beating, there was a person standing amidst the busy crowd, wearing a black hood and a white mask. Kiel was sure, he was staring at him. He felt goosebumps all over his body.

The person suddenly disappeared. Kiel looked around, his hands, wet with sweat. Suddenly a hand reach to his shoulder. He screamed in fright and subconsciously punched.

"Ouch! that hurts!" A familiar voice sounded.


Kiel looked with wide eyes at the person, it was someone he knew. Man lIangji was the same. He shouted. "Damn, Little Chen! It's actually you! Haha! I knew you weren't dead!"

He became excited and went bear hugged him. He said. "The others were worried about you!".

Kiel's face went red and he hurriedly tapped his shoulder. Man Liangji noticed it and quickly let him go. He scratched his head and said. "Oh, sorry, I almost forgot!"

"You... almost... choked me to death!" He said, gasping for a breath.

Man Liangji laughed and ruffled Kiel's head. He said. "What! I'm just happy! anyway, what was that punch for? That actually kinda hurts!"

Kiel smiled in embarrassment. He said. "Sorry, I thought you were one of the group who were chasing after me."

Man Liangji's face became dark. He said. "It must be the doing of that Long Xiefang!"

Kiel became surprised and asked. "Long Xiefang? Why would he send people to catch me?"

"Because your part of the Fire God's hall. Let me tell you, one of the main groups fought with him over the grade four demon beast. Ever since then, he held a grudge and now our teams are having a hard time hunting!" He said.

Kiel was worried. He said. "Then we should hurry and leave here. They might come back!"

Man Liangj waved his hands and said. "You don't have to worry, the rest of the team are here, Even Hall master Huang Jie is here" He smacked his head and his chin pointing up, he continued "With us here, they could only dream of catching you!"

He led Kiel to a huge shop. There were many weapons and armors displayed on the wars. Each piece, more expensive than the other, surprising Kiel.

Man Liangji said. "Like what you're seeing? This is the Dragon's Treasures Pavilion. Owned directly by the Royal long, This is only one of its branches, the main shop is in the capital city. Let's go, the rest are upstairs."

Kiel said. "You can go, I want to sell some things first"

Man Liangji nodded and said. "I'll go with you."

Kiel approached one of the staff and said. "I want to sell sets of grade one materials."

The staff had a professional smile and said. "Please show them, Do know that the price ranges from the quality of the item."

Kiel took out a piles of bones, fangs and other parts of demon beasts. The staff was slightly surprised at first, before quickly assorting the items. She carefully assessed each parts and wrote each of their price in a piece of paper.

Man Liangji couldn't help but praise, he said. "You hunted them all? that's a lot! you're a lot stronger than I thought."

Kiel laughed and nodded. "Yeah I had to, I need food to survive."

Soon the staff finished and she said, "In total there are 37 sets of upper grade one, 35 sets of middle grade and 56 sets of lower grade, totaling up to 117,000 crystal coins."

Kiel accepted the crystal coins and said. "That's a lot!"

Man Liangji laughed and said. "That's normal, after all, demon beasts parts are highly sought after."

Kiel muttered. "no wonder... no wonder.."

They went on their way, just before they got to the stairs. He heard a shout. "If you can't pay then get out."

Kiel looked and saw a youth that is almost the same age as Kiel, he was only wearing green clothes made from wool. He was scared and stiffly saying. "B-but... t-that wasn't the price w-we agreed on!"

The male staff contempt grew and said. "What price? We never agreed on the price. If you don't want to pay then get out of here!"

Kiel looked around and saw that everyone was looking at the two, most of them had sneers and amused looks on their faces. He approached and asked. "How much is it?"

The male staff glanced at kiel, and said. "Sir, this is not something you should meddle with."

Kiel got more annoyed and sternly said. "I said how much is it! Why're you yapping your mouth so much!"

The male staff got angry. He pointed at the mechanical parts, he said. "All of it costs 70,000 crystal coins! What!? you don't have money?"

Before Kiel could reply, Man Liangji came and threw a pouch of crystal coins. He said "You don't need to pay for it. Here's the 70,000 crystal coins."

The male staff hesitated.

Man Liangji's face became dark. "What are you waiting for!? hurry up and pack those parts and give it to the kid."

A red robed young man holding a fan made from feathers approached, following behind him where two men with big statures, clearly, they were his body guards. He arrogantly said. "Aren't you bullying the staff too much? Do you even know that the Royal Long owns this?"

The youth beside Kiel suddenly said. "Li Gusheng, what are you doing here?"

Li Gusheng sneered. He lifted his chin up and proudly said. "Why can't I be here? I'm here to buy a grade three weapon!"

Kiel asked the youth beside him. "You know this guy?"

The youth stiffly nodded, he said. "Yes, he's the son of the high commander here in the fort."

Kiel raised his eyebrows and said. "High commander?"

Li Gusheng became more arrogant and said. "What? sacred? Since you know me, then scram out of here!"

Man Liangji became angry, he pointed and said. "Who are you to kick us out of here? Are you the owner here, and not the Royal Long?"

Li Gusheng hesitated when the Royal Long was mentioned. If he's not careful with his words then his father might punish him heavily. The Royal Long is serious when dealing with any form of malicious words. He could be charged with treason and be sent to jail or worse killed.

"Who dares to cause trouble here?" An aged voice sounded out and a man that seems to be in his 40's came out with a group of people.

Li Gushen became happy, he bowed and quickly clasped his hands. He said. "Pavilion master, Its me Li Gusheng," He pointed at the trio and said. "Its them! They're the one causing the trouble. They were bullying a small staff just because they couldn't pay."

The male staff sneered before making a bow.

The Pavilion master frowned, He getting irked by the sight of this trio. He was about to say something before exclaims sounded beside him.

"Nephew Chen! You're here!"

Kiel smiled and laughingly said. "Uncle Jie! I was looking for you!"

Huang Jie smacked Kiel's shoulder and happily laughed. He said. "I knew you wouldn't die! You truly are your father's son!"

The pavilion master approached and said. "Old Jie, who's this kid? you're nephew?"

Huang Jie only smiled and said. "Old Dan He's Yang Tianmeng's son"

Exclaims sounded out, Li Gusheng and the male staff weren't a exception. Even the pavilion master had his eyes wide. Huang Jie said. "Yang Chen, this is Huang Dan, an old friend of mine."

Huang Dan said. "Your actually his son. I once saw your father in past, he was one of the most acclaimed geniuses. He was respected and idolized by many people back then."

Kiel only realized now, the influence of his father's name. He clasped his hands and said. "Pavilion master Huang."

Huang Dan nodded his head in satisfaction. He asked. "What's the matter here?"

Kiel recounted the story making Huang Dan's frown deeper and deeper. Seeing this, Li Gusheng and the male staff felt their heart drop to the ground.

Huang Dan looked at the male staff and said. "I'll deal with you later". making the staff's face shades paler.

Li Gusheng quickly clasped his hands, a smile appeared i his face. "I see, please forgive me Pavilion master Huang, I was short-sighted. I didn't know the story and hurriedly jumped to conclusions. Please excuse me, I have other things to do." He looked a Kiel for a brief moment before hurriedly leaving.

Man Liangji gritted his teeth and said. "He didn't even apologized to us!"

Kiel only looked at him for a brief moment. The young man beside him bowed and said. "Thank you, If it wasn't for you then it would had been troublesome for me!"

Kiel smiled and held up his hand, he said. "I'm Kiel, and you are?"

The young man was surprised for a moment before shaking his hands. he said. "Fang Tao! nice to meet you!"
