"Before we begin, I want to confirm one thing: can the president represent the will of the entire Blacksmith Association?"
Moving the entire Blacksmith Association is no easy task.
First, the wishes of all members of the association must be addressed.
The association consists of a complex group of people, including blacksmiths, metal purchasers, and sales personnel. Unifying the thoughts of so many people is virtually impossible.
Judging from the lively scene below, most people in the association don't seem to realize the crisis is coming.
Under these circumstances, proposing a relocation would directly affect their interests.
Si Long should be aware of this, but since he agreed with Quan Yi, he must have some ideas. Therefore, Quan Yi wants to hear his opinion first.
Si Long calmed down from his excitement and began to think about reality.
After a moment, he replied, "The Blacksmith Association is a voluntary organization. Even as the president, I cannot force all members to relocate.
However, the most essential part of this association is the 'blacksmiths.' As long as we control this core, the other parts are not worth worrying about.
Now, in the eyes of many blacksmiths, the Quan Family's appeal is even greater than the Blacksmith Association.
I am confident that I can persuade most blacksmiths.
But the problem now is that this takes Time, and I'm not sure if the Spirit Hall will give us that Time."
Si Long's words are true. In recent years, the Quan Family Bicycle has expanded to other cities, and the increase in the number of stores means an increase in production.
They possess the most advanced production technology and matching sales capabilities.
Any ambitious blacksmith would have noticed the Quan Family.
After listening to Si Long's insights, Quan Yi had a greater grasp of the matter.
"There is no need to worry about the Spirit Hall. We will take care of it. I hope you can immediately start persuading the blacksmiths.
Of course, in exchange, I can represent the Quan Family and offer excellent conditions to the blacksmiths who agree to relocate."
Quan Yi has always been generous to his own people. He can't let Si Long persuade them with nothing to offer.
"With the Young Master's guarantee, I am even more confident."
Si Long looked at Quan Yi with a smile, his eyes becoming brighter.
The maturity and calmness displayed by Quan Yi were unlike a young man of the same age.
His combination of kindness and authority, and his words, caused great fluctuations in his mood, but this only made him more convinced of Quan Yi.
That afternoon, Si Long gathered the blacksmiths of the association.
On the other side, Quan Yi and Huo Wu arrived at the Main Sipirit Hall in Gengxin City.
Looking at the building in front of him, which was even more magnificent than the City Lord's Mansion, Quan Yi once again confirmed the status of the Spirit Hall on the Douluo Continent.
Floating in the Space, Quan Yi looked at Huo Wu beside him and instructed, "Wife, I'll leave them to you."
Huo Wu smiled softly and replied confidently, "Don't worry, with me here, they won't be able to make any waves."
On Huo Wu's shoulder, a dark golden Little Dragon was coiled. After she finished speaking, their figures disappeared from Quan Yi's sight.
Inside the main hall, Bishop Myers was conspiring with his subordinates about shady activities.
"Bishop, we have investigated the income of the Blacksmith Association. It has increased dozens of times in recent years, and this trend has not stopped."
After hearing this, Myers' eyes revealed undisguised greed.
"These useless blacksmiths will have their day. But even if their business is good, they are just a group of blacksmiths, a low-level occupation that serves the most honorable Soul Masters.
They can't handle such wealth. They might as well join the embrace of the Spirit Hall as soon as possible."
Myers' Soul Master supremacy is actually the 'consensus' of the entire Douluo Continent, but his thinking is more extreme than others.
This arrogant thinking has fueled the greed in his heart.
"Sir, according to our investigation, the Soul Saint of this Blacksmith Association is just a Tool Soul Master with no combat power and poses no threat to us at all.
If we can be more forceful, we can completely annex the entire Blacksmith Association."
The subordinate reporting had a treacherous look on his face, and he was completely in cahoots with Myers.
"Alright, time is of the essence. If they gain momentum, it'll be troublesome.
Tonight, you will disguise yourselves as bandits and break into the Blacksmith Association to steal valuables.
I heard that these guys are auctioning off a dozen Soul King-level Bicycles next week. Although they aren't from the Quan Family, their quality isn't bad, so we can just snatch them for ourselves."
Myers's face was in stark contrast to the sacred main hall.
At this moment, Huo Wu, sitting on a sofa to the side, elegantly took a sip of warm tea, glancing at the two conversing with disgust.
"I really don't want to share the same Space as you. If it weren't for my husband forbidding it, I'd want to make these bandits disappear directly."
Huo Wu put down her teacup and waved her hand, shooting out a pink flame that spread from her feet, quickly enveloping the two people in the room.
Moreover, the flame didn't stop there; it spread at an extremely fast speed to the entire Main Sipirit Hall, taking control of everyone inside.
Of course, the Peach Illusion Fire was invisible and colorless to outsiders, and the entire Spirit Hall remained as it always was.
After doing all this, Huo Wu transmitted a message to the Dragon Head on her shoulder: "Control is complete, you can proceed without worry."
The moment Huo Wu spoke, Quan Yi learned of the information through sensory sharing.
With Huo Wu's words, Quan Yi's side could proceed with confidence.
The next day, the higher-ups of the Blacksmith Association reached a consensus and decided on the relocation matter.
The Spirit Hall had become a sword hanging over their heads, and the blacksmiths, who had just begun to improve, were unwilling to fall back into the mire.
With Quan Yi providing security for the blacksmiths, they showed unprecedented unity.
They were clear that this concerned whether the entire blacksmith industry could stand with dignity in this world.
From that day on, undercurrents surged throughout the entire Blacksmith Association. While maintaining normal operations on the surface, they were secretly preparing for the relocation.
And Quan Yi, following the Quan Family's strongholds that stretched from the Star Luo inland all the way to the western coast, smoothed out a route for the Blacksmith Association's relocation.
Like the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire's coastal cities were also located on the west side.
Gengxin City was located in the southwest of Star Luo, and in terms of distance, it was very close to the coast. Therefore, Quan Yi planned to use sea routes to transport the entire Blacksmith Association.
Two weeks later, Myers woke up in the main hall.
However, unlike usual, Myers felt extremely tired upon waking up.
"So tired, so hungry, what's wrong with me?"
Myers weakly got up, but a dignified Soul Emperor-level Soul Master was actually unable to stand.
This feeling was as if he had been starving for more than ten days.
Moreover, this situation occurred in all the members of the entire main hall.
By the time Myers recovered his ability to move, an entire day had passed.
However, before he could even check the reason for his fatigue, he learned something that shocked him greatly.
That was that the Blacksmith Association had disappeared overnight.
"How is this possible? Could it be that we've been pushing them too hard these days, causing them to develop a sense of rejection?
But, I just attended the Blacksmith Association's auction last night, how could they have moved out so quickly?"
