Linley nodded.
“Farewell, then.” Linley left, somewhat disappointed.
Linley knew from the beginning that adamantine wasn’t so easily smelted, and so he had made some mental preparations. Departing from this location, he headed back towards his own residence. But halfway back, Linley suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“Third Bro.”
Linley immediately turned his head to look.
Yale, George, and Reynolds were staring back at him in astonishment.
“Boss Yale. Second Bro. Fourth Bro.” Linley immediately ran over excitedly. He didn’t expect to be able to meet with his dear bros again. Under Yale’s invitation, Linley decided to go to the Dawson Conglomerate’s headquarters to have a good meal with his bros.
Within a very secluded manor.
Linley, Yale, Reynolds, and George were all happily exchanging stories of recent events.
“You want to find a master weaponsmith? Mm, I don’t know any either.” Yale shook his head.
Reynolds said questioningly, “Third Bro, you said adamantine? What is adamantine?”
Neither Reynolds, nor Yale, nor George had ever heard of adamantine.
Adamantine was simply too rare and too precious.
“Linley, we just barely had a chance to meet last time. Only today do I have the opportunity to have a good chat with a genius like you.” Monroe Dawson walked in from the main hall, holding his big belly and chuckling. “Hey, did you just say adamantine?”
Linley nodded. “Lord Chairman, I managed to acquire some adamantine and plan to use it to forge a weapon. But I’m not able to find a master weaponsmith capable of forging it.”
“Oh.”
What sort of a person was Monroe Dawson? How could he not know what adamantine was? “You actually address me as Chairman? You and Yale are like brothers! Just call me Uncle. You say you need to find a master weaponsmith who can smelt adamantine? I happen to know one.”
Linley actually didn’t feel too excited upon hearing this.
Because even if Monroe Dawson knew a person, that person most likely wasn’t in the city of Hess.
“Uncle Monroe, who is that master weaponsmith?” Linley asked.
Monroe Dawson grinned. “That master weaponsmith is known as Master Vincente [Wei’lin’te], the leader of the Hyde clan.”
“Vincente?” Linley was a bit curious.
Suddenly, Linley started. “Uncle Dawson, what clan did you just say he belonged to?”
“The Hyde clan.” Monroe Dawson replied with a chortle.
Linley had totally memorized that book he had read back in his clan’s manor which introduced the Four Supreme Warriors. One piece of information included within was the clan names of the Four Supreme Warriors. The Violetflame Warriors clan…was the Hyde clan! However…there was more than one clan named ‘Hyde’, and thus this Hyde clan wasn’t necessarily the clan of the Violetflame Warriors.
“You thought of them? Haha. Right. This Hyde clan is just like your Baruch clan. They are a clan of Supreme Warriors. The Hyde clan lived within a small city in the Holy Union’s Kingdom of Hanmu. After this catastrophe, they fled here to Hess City.” Monroe Dawson said with a laugh.
“They are here in Hess City?” Linley was surprised.
“And they are living right next to my manor. I personally arranged for them to be put there.” Monroe Dawson continued.
Linley stared at Monroe Dawson in astonishment.
Actually, Monroe Dawson knew several people who were capable of smelting adamantine. The master weaponsmith of the Dawson Conglomerate was capable of smelting adamantine as well. But none of those other people whom Monroe Dawson knew were currently in Hess City. Thus, Monroe Dawson only mentioned this one person.
