Chapter 552: Refund

Gnyan saw five people he didn't want to see at this moment coming towards his factory. Four of them are one, two, three, and four and the last one is Rana.

A few days ago, just after he took the order from the young masters, he met with Rana in the industrial street. He saw that Rana is going through the recruitment process and he is testing any shipwright or artisan in the street. He tested everyone who claimed to be an expert.

He gloated all over again and again and the gloating escalated, even more, when he learned that he is doing business with Sam.

He doesn't know that Sam already knew of his tricks, but he didn't stop his gloating nonetheless.

He made fun of him so much, that the bosses of all the shops in the industrial street knew of the incident, now that he came at this moment, he was feeling extremely vexed.

This time the project price is too big and he even took a loan from the family. There is no way he would be able to take any more from them. He would have to repay the current loan if he even has to dream about getting a penny from them.

Now that Rana is coming, then there is even more of a problem, he couldn't even hide it.

"Gnyan, I am hearing a lot of rumors around, I want to ask if the production is going on smoothly, there are only two days left before delivery."

"Young master, it is going on perfectly, rumors are just rumors, someone must have deliberately spread them just to spoil my business."

He said seriously as he glared at Rana.

"Well, then I hope it is going well, can I see how many you have made. The production should be in the final stages, right?"

"Well.."

Gnyan was speechless, he couldn't possibly show the current situation to them, but if he didn't do so, they will get even more suspicious. Then he got an Idea and said.

"Let us to the office young masters, I will ask the workers to bring the samples, then you can inspect them there. Then you can also relax regarding the rumors."

They went to the office, but Rana entered the factory as he looked around. The guards didn't dare to stop him, neither the manager. Rana still has the family identity. Even if he doesn't have as much authority asGnyan, compared to the small fries like them, he has a lot of access to the family businesses, even Gnyan doesn't have the right to stop him.

He looked through the factory.

Meanwhile, Gnyan is looking for an instant solution to send the young master away and salvage a situation. So, he brought the sample pieces they manufactured and showed them. They are of good quality and there is no need to panic regarding this.

The young masters looked at the weapons and left the place saying that they will come and take the delivery themselves. But just as they were about to exit the factory, Rana who is looking through the factory picked up and armor and a sword. He stabbed the sword into the armor with a loud crunching sound, both sword and the armor broke.

The young masters and the attendants halted in their tracks and looked at this. Gnyan felt cold sweat all over his body. He didn't expect that he would get caught like this and Rana is the one who made his plans go wrong.

"What is it, manager? Is this the quality of the weapons in the Golden Blaze? What will happen to our family name, if you make things like this?"

Rana said in an extremely reprimanding tone. Then he looked at Gnyan and the young master and said.

"Gnyan, this is what you are doing with the family forge? I have seen ten batches of products and none of them are of good quality.

They broke with just some small clash. I didn't even use any spiritual energy. What is happening? It seems like the rumors are true."

Gnyan's face turned pale with fright. He didn't dare to make a sound as he looked at the furious expressions of the two young masters and their attendants.

"Gnyan, this is what the promised quality means? You better give us a proper explanation."

"I…I…"

He was about to say something, but Two interrupted his words.

"I don't care anymore, it seems like the rumors are true. We need a refund."

Gnyan stuttered.

"Young Master, please don't take hasty decisions. We can discuss this in the office."

"No more discussion at the moment, first show me the finished products and then we can have any discussion, otherwise don't even think about bluffing your way out with words, I need the money right now."

Before Gnyan could reply, they walked towards the manager and asked them to show the products, the manager couldn't take the pressure and involuntarily looked towards the inventory.

Both One and Two started looking through the products and everything was destroyed in seconds.

One of them yelled.

"Get whoever in charge of the business management of the city right now. I want someone with real authority. I am not leaving this place without a refund. How dare they cheat us off with these products?"

As if they are waiting around the street corner, an officer from the city management who is in charge of the industrial street affairs.

"Young Master, what is the situation?"

Soon, the four orphans, Gnyan and the city management officer are all sitting inside an office.

"How do you want to settle this, Young masters?"

"We need the refund and compensation for wasting our time. We paid hundreds of millions of spirit stones for him. What he did to us is unforgivable. There is no way we can tolerate this without any consequences." One said angrily.

"Young Master Gnyan, what is your take on this?"

By this time, Gnyan is actually very frustrated with the situation. He has a hunch that there is something wrong with the forge, he is doubting that someone is messing with his business. But he couldn't find out who. He thought Rana might be behind this, but he couldn't bring himself to accept being tormented by him.

Now that even the city management office was involved, he could only compromise.

"I have two suggestions. One, they can wait for a few more days and we can get the products from the Main forge of my family. I will deliver the whole order. Even the ships. I will finish my deal and I will even give some discount as compensation.

The second one, they have to wait and I will arrange the money."

"We don't want to wait and why should we? We are not the ones who is cheating here. I need my money now or I will storm the Mirage city in two days with a naval fleet. Do you think we don't have any power? These types are ships are well beneath the manufacturing level of the artisans back home. Otherwise, I wouldn't even come here to make a deal with them.

It is my stupidity to even trust the rumors and come here believing that they have great quality service. It is all bogus."

Gnyan became furious and said.

"I will get you your money, tomorrow. I will pay from my personal savings. Come here tomorrow."

One, who is silent all the time spoke.

"Sure, then. Since you will pay, I will wait. Not one day, I will wait as many days as you want. But every day you delay it, I need ten percent more added to the original sum. For the two hundred fifty million spirit stones I paid you, you will pay twenty-five million extra tomorrow and you will have to pay ten percent of that total sum the day after tomorrow.

It will go on and on. Do you want to make that deal?"

"That is unreasonable."

"What you did is unreasonable too, if you don't want that deal, pay up now."

Gnyan gritted his teeth and felt extremely vexed. He yelled at the top of his lungs.

"You think you are some hotshot because I am giving you respect? I am also a young lord of the Golden Blaze family. I will not suffer the humiliation silently. I will take this damn deal. I will pay not ten, twenty-five percent for every day I delayed my payment."

He wrote the agreement instantly and the four orphans left the place with it. Grinning from ear to ear. The officer left after them and Gnyan took out some wine and chugged the whole bottle calling all his managers.

He started collecting the money from them to make the required payment. Some of them need until tomorrow to raise the complete sum and he could only wait. That is why he asked for one more day. He might be the young master, but all the earnings he made will be got to the family and all he would receive are the resources for cultivation and the monthly salary. His personal savings are less than a hundred million. And they are also stuck in some investments.

He has to liquidate the money. So, before he did that, he decided to take the revenue from the current businesses and borrow some money from other family members and pay it first before he liquidates the money and pays them back.

But when he is enjoying his own company along with the wine, he felt like he heard something and before he knew it, he lost consciousness.
