Commanding Wind and Cloud

Chapter 462



Chapter 462: A Man Has to Keep His Promise

“Weed?”

“Yes, it is me!” Weed’s face flushed with pleasure. He was so happy that Qian Jin still remembered him and showed no hostility. He was worrying that Qian Jin wouldn’t want to see him.

“How have you been?” Qian Jin directed Weed to a seat and asked, “How’s Crew Seventeen? Can I help with anything?”

Weed’s face grew serious. He did not sit down, instead, he grabbed Qian Jin’s wrist and said anxiously, “I don’t want to lie to you. Miss didn’t send me here. Us fellows decided to ask for your help ourselves because Black Wind is now a complete chaos. The Big Leader and the Third Leader can’t stand each other anymore. The conflicts between them grew into factious combats. Ms. Hayen also got involved.”

Qian Jin started at Weed’s wounds in silence. He knew from living together with Crew Seventeen that they were more like family than teammates. The situation there must be so critical that they had to ask for help from an outsider.

“You are having a good life now, Qian Jin”, Weed said. “I don’t have the right to ask you to take the risk with us. It is very chaotic out there, and you are totally free to decline. I need an immediate and straightforward response because there’s no time for me. If I can’t save Ms. Hayen, I’ll die with her.”

His speech gained Lucifer Lucy’s respect. In the rumors, bandits were greedy and cruel cowards, but Weed was different. Although he’s not strong physically, he’s had a tough spirit.

“I’ll go with you.” Qian Jin said. “I’m not totally clear about the situation there, but I’ll go. I couldn’t have survived without Hayen Brianna and her Crew Seventeen.”

“Great! We were right about you!” Weed smacked on Qian Jin’s shoulder and the not yet healed wounds opened again. With his face distorted by the sudden pain. “Ms. Hayen was right about you too.” Weed added.

“Where are you going?” Frontier stood up and walked over silently. “I’m going with you this time.”

Qian Jin frowned. Gomez Jane didn’t attract peoples’ attention, yet she manages everything in the house. If she came with him, then Rosella… “Qian Jin, the caravans have already had two consecutive accidents. I won’t have big moves in the trading firm but just enough to keep it operating, so I won’t leave Torrent Battle Fort soon.” Rosella said quietly.

Qian Jin smiled. These women could read his mind. They had proposed solutions before he raised the problem.

However, Qian Jin stared at Gomez Jane and shook his head, “You can’t go.”

A trace of unexpectedness slipped in Gomez Jane’s eyes. Qian Jin was usually very easygoing with them. It was odd that he said no.

“I…”

“That’s it”, Qian Jin interrupted. “It’s not safe in Frontier. It’s better for you not to go. Stay home and take care of everything here.”

Gomez Jane didn’t know what to say. The man who was always compromising was really firm on this topic; he was not willing to negotiate or back off.

Qian Jin opened the door and asked the warriors standing outside, “Excuse me, could you please bring me a grey cloak?”

The warrior nodded and walked away. It was obvious that this successor didn’t want others to know about his health condition.

Looking at Qian Jin from the back, Gomez Jane suddenly realized that the boy had grown up. She felt a little tired.

All these years, Gomez Jane had always acted strong and tough. Aside from her own characteristics, it was also because of her misconception of Qian Jin as a boy. After his refusal today, she finally felt protected.

“Tell Uncle Marc that I’m going out, and I’ll be back soon.” Qian Jin said to a warrior. Then he murmured, “I only got back for a few days and now I’m heading out again. I wonder what the principal’s reaction will be. It’s getting more and more difficult to ask for leave.”

“You see, Weed…” Qian Jin looked back at Weed, “Buren and others are currently away. It’s not that they don’t want to go, so…”

“I trust you.” Weed nodded.

“Alright. I shall go the academy now to ask for leave. Then we’ll be able to go to Frontier.” Then he said to his wives. “You stay at home. The city is not safe nowadays as well.”

Lucifer Lucy looked at Qian Jin going away and peeped at Gomez Jane.

“Get ready, Kylie.” Then Gomez Jane flipped her hands, and a [Dual Moon] showed up in her sleeves.

Lucifer Lucy was shocked.

“We are not going away”, Gomez Jane smiled. “I’m following him. The danger in Frontier is not only towards women. Maybe we can help.”

“There’s no legislation regulating how many women a man can marry, but the more the messier. Qian Jin’s biggest weakness is that he can’t reject women. He has us already. Even if he doesn’t want to reject women, we need to.”

Strict control was gone, but the streets were still missing pedestrians. People were still afraid of stepping out.

They wanted to wait for a little before doing anything.

Qian Jin rode on one of the best horse in Torrent Battle Fort. There were three times more of guarding soldiers there at the gate of the city.

“Take off your cloak…”

Qian Jin presented the special pass from Torrent Battle Fort before the guarding soldiers finished off the sentence. They cleared out a way for Qian Jin. With that pass, as long as the person didn’t commit treason, they would need to let the person go.

When Qian Jin just passed through the gate, he saw a group of warriors on horses getting closer and closer.

“Whoa.” The warrior at the very front pulled the reins at the gate. The horse neighed. The rest of the warriors stopped after him.

“Uncle?” Qian Jin adjusted his cloak. He wasn’t expecting to see Zachery from Torrent Battle Fort here.

Zachery was surprised to see Qian Jin as strong as an ox. President Marc said he needed to lie in bed for several months.

“Oh, it’s you!” Zachery was scrupled to call out Qian Jin’s name. “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to the academy. What about you?”

Zachery spit onto the ground and said with anger, “Ray Family dug two secret tunnels to the outside. We have been chasing after them. The president shifted with us so that we can have some rest.”

“Did they escape?”

Zachery said honestly, “Some escaped. Ray Zhen had already moved a set of his family members secretly when he attacked one of our high importance figures. I only knew this after I occupied the main property of Ray Family.”

Qian Jin closed his eyes slowly and started to analyze the situation. This meant that Ray Zhen had already thought about all kinds of the consequences and had moved most of his family members out of Yulee the day before he united the great powers,

It’s over! Qian Jin took a long breath out. Even Marc Gavin wouldn’t be able to chase them. He had never expected to destroy Ray Family to be this complicated. It’s all his fault as he was always being passive about it and only allied the other powers after being sneak attacked.

Qian Jin sighed. Maybe this was the best result. If he didn’t take over Blacksmith Union, his only allies would be Torrent Battle Fort and Wudo Group. It would be a tricky situation without help from the mayor, and even worse if the mayor allied with Ray Family.

But where could Ray Family go?

“Qian Region! Join Qian Family!”

Somewhere in the wilderness, hundreds of miles away from Yulee City, hundreds of people surrounded an elder, obeying his commands.

“My older brother Ray Zhen used to be a chiliarchy under the leader of Qian Family – Qian Zhanxuan.” The elder had eyes of the eagle. He looked at the direction of Yulee City and swore, “Yulee! Qian Jin! I, Ray Kan, swear that we will be back! The date of our return shall be the date of your death”.

“Leader. If we seek shelter under Qian Family, what would our identity be?”

Ray Kan’s eyes shined with bitterness and hatred. “We would no longer be called the Ray Family of Yulee for sure. Being a subordinate family for a hundred years is an optimistic estimation.”

There was only, silence, shame, hate and a desire to revenge floating in the air.

“Qian Jin, we are not done!”
