A few days later, Shopkeeper Qian had the opportunity to verify the doubts in his heart.
Qian Fuming, an Elder of Rising Sun Peak and the patriarch of the Qian Family, personally paid him a visit.
Previously, members of the Qian Family had repeatedly urged Shopkeeper Qian to sell his assets, but he had managed to deflect their requests each time.
Qian Fuming needed to refine a powerful magic treasure, a process requiring a large amount of Spirit Stones to purchase spirit gold and other precious materials. Having waited for so long, he was already growing impatient.
Upon seeing Shopkeeper Qian, he immediately assumed an air of authority befitting the family's pillar. "Jinbao," he demanded, "why has the task I assigned you still not been completed?"
"Jinbao" was Shopkeeper Qian's childhood name within the clan; his formal name was Qian Xingji.
Only Qian Fuming, the Clan Leader of the Qian Family, and a few of the older generation clan members would address him this way.
