At that moment, he followed the tenth elder and arrived at the bank’s entrance.
Two receptionists in uniform had just opened their mouths to greet him.
However, the tenth elder pushed them away.
“Is your president around? Please ask him to hurry out. I’d like to move the cauldron away from the entrance.”
The tenth elder entered the bank’s office as if there was no one there. He had an urgent look on his face, which made Wu Mo smile internally.
!!
In the bank’s office, a few confused staff members looked at the two people, who had barged into the bank, through bulletproof glass. They were considering whether or not to press the emergency alarm button.
The security guards in uniform did not dare to go forward either because they had sensed the spirit energy fluctuation from the old man’s body. A hundred ordinary people would not even pose a threat to a cultivator who had fought on the battlefield.
The bank’s office immediately descended into chaos, and the ordinary residents who were queuing up to do business quickly left.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, the manager immediately invited the president out.
In a few minutes, the bank’s president, who was dressed in formal attire, walked out of the office.
When he learned that the old man wanted to move the cauldron at the entrance of their bank, he was instantly dumbfounded.
“What the hell? No, esteemed guests, what are you trying to do?!”
The bank’s president originally wanted to throw a tantrum, but when he saw the young man dressed in a casting suit, his ugly expression immediately faded.
Blacksmithing was currently the most popular profession in society. Although he was the bank’s president, he did not dare to easily make enemies. Only God knew if this young blacksmith had the backing of an aristocratic family.
“Sirs, that object is a treasure for our bank to gather wealth and suppress evil. How can you move it just like that?”
The bank’s president wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at the two people in front of him as he complained.
Seeing that he did not actually agree with their actions, the tenth elder snorted coldly. “You don’t want to give it to us, do you? Fine, then I’ll take the ¥100,000,000 cash deposited by my division in your bank. In the future, your bank will not be collaborating with Treasure Pavilion anymore!”
Seeing that the tenth elder actually used his identity to pressure the president, Wu Mo, who was standing at the side, could not help but laugh.
When the bank’s president discovered that the old man was actually one of the people in charge of Treasure Pavilion, he instantly bowed. An obsequious smile then filled his face.
“Come on, there’s no need to do that. You mustn’t do that. You’re our esteemed guest at Shanglin Bank, so what’s a big cauldron to us? Men, quickly tear down that big cauldron at the door!”
The president of Shanglin Bank waved his hand, and a few security guards, as well as staff, immediately began to take action.
After they removed the base used for the exhibition and the fixed steel frame, the big cauldron was promptly placed on the ground, as though it had no owner.
The bank’s president saw that the big cauldron had already been dismantled, and a hint of heartache flashed across his eyes. It was something that their bank had spent a large sum of money to commission.
It had not even been placed there for half a year.
Now that the bank could no longer keep the cauldron, he absolutely could not neglect his distinguished guests anymore.
The bank’s president hurriedly walked out of the hall and attentively asked, “Sir, where are you going to move this cauldron? How are you going to take such a huge thing with you? Do you need me to arrange for staff to help you bring it home?”
The tenth elder looked at the cauldron that had been placed on the ground. He realized that there was spirit energy on its surface, and he could not help but find it a little strange.
However, since Wu Mo had obtained his ideal furnace ahead of time, he did not need to trouble the mayor anymore.
“Mr. Wu, which dormitory are you in? Why don’t I arrange for someone to bring it over?”
The elder did not let go of any opportunity to give Wu Mo a good impression. Right then, he spoke with a concerned expression.
Seeing the bank’s president and the tenth elder cast a somewhat puzzled gaze at him, Wu Mo waved his hand and calmly said, “There’s no need.”
Then, he lightly snapped his fingers. Immediately after, a white light flashed in front of him. The large golden cauldron on the ground disappeared at that very second.
If it were not for the exhibition’s base and steel frame at the side, others might have thought that the large cauldron never existed.
“Gasp… Could it be that you’re using the Mountain Moving technique, Sir?”
The bank’s president looked at Wu Mo with a shocked expression as if he had just seen an otherworldly expert.
On the other hand, the tenth elder stroked his sparse beard with a shocked expression and said, “This should be an Interspatial Ring. I heard that someone’s been auctioning them, and each of them sell for over ¥3,000,000. It’s truly shocking that you have such a treasure, Mr. Wu.”
Hearing the tenth elder’s explanation, Wu Mo’s interest was instantly piqued.
He curiously asked, “Oh, you mentioned seeing this item at an auction house? I wonder, which city is it in, Tenth Elder?”
The tenth elder did not notice Wu Mo’s abnormal expression and promptly explained, “It’s at the auction house in West Moon City. However, this is the news that West Moon City’s pavilion master told me. I’ve never seen them with my own eyes before. Why? Have you paid too much for it?”
Following the tenth elder’s clarification, Wu Mo suddenly remembered the casting contract he had signed with Guangli Trading Company’s boss, Jia Wei.
Now that he had heard news about the rings from the tenth elder, Wu Mo was somewhat surprised.
It had not been long since he signed the contract with Jia Wei. He did not expect Mr. Jia to already finish casting the product. He had even started to sell it, so it was considered fast progress.
Wu Mo believed that it would not be long before Mr. Jia would send him the commission for the first batch of sales. They had agreed that he would take 70% of the profits for every piece sold.
With Mr. Jia’s reputation as someone who had been operating in good faith for more than ten years, he would not be keeping the profits to himself.
Thinking of that, Wu Mo’s heart was filled with anticipation.
Noticing that the tenth elder was still looking at him curiously, Wu Mo soon explained.
“No, it’s just that I’m the one who forged this Interspatial Ring. It’s getting late, and I’ve already obtained my furnace. Let’s make a move now.”
Wu Mo waved his hand as he turned around and walked toward the road.
The bank’s president looked at Wu Mo’s departing figure with a dumbfounded expression, thinking to himself, ‘When did such a figure appear in Shanglin City?’
The elder of Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters treated that young man with such respect.
When the tenth elder heard Wu Mo’s words, he was instantly petrified on the spot.
After a long time, he finally regained his composure and quickly chased after Wu Mo.
One should know that an Interspatial Ring that possessed special space and could even help one achieve immortality was extremely rare.
An ordinary master blacksmith would find it difficult to refine it.
However, he never thought that this famous Interspatial Ring would have personally been refined by the youth in front of him.
From this, one could see how unrestrained Mr. Wu’s creativity was.
If Treasure Pavilion could work with him for a long time, the benefits that followed would be immeasurable.
The tenth elder’s heart palpitated for what felt like forever. He lowered his head and walked next to Wu Mo, not speaking for a long time.
