Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?-Chapter 424 - Special Task Force

424 Special Task Force

After reading the note, the old man’s expression immediately turned unpleasant. He snorted angrily and said, “These foreign races are really determined to kill us. What’s more despicable is that there are people who dare to betray the Nine Provinces and their own people. They deserve to die!”

“This is just what Wu Mo and the others suspect. We can’t be sure yet!” Lin Xiangyun said.

“Hmph!” Gu Shan snorted coldly. “There’s nothing else to say. I can confirm that this is definitely true! ”

“How?” This time, even Lin Xiangyun was shocked.

Gu Shan said, “Have you forgotten that the seven-star Crystal Cores of the foreign races were almost all used up after the forging of that Divine weapon? It would have been difficult to gather three more in a short time. Where else would they be available?”

“Gasp!”

“It seems that we have underestimated the viciousness and despicable nature of the foreign races!” Liu Yu’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he spoke.

“What do you think we should do?” Lin Xiangyun asked.

“The higher-ups want us to send two seven-star cultivators to guard the place and deal with the crisis, but I’m worried that two won’t be enough!”

“Then send all of them over!” Zhang Chunyang said.

“No!” Liu Yu objected.

“Why not?”

“If the foreign races can target these young blacksmiths, why can’t they target us? I’m not afraid of death, but I can’t do this!

“However, it’s probably too late now. Besides, once there’s a big commotion, it’s easy to alert the enemy.

“This matter should be handed over to the Secret Service Bureau,” Lin Xiangyun said. “They’re the professionals.”

“I’m just afraid that a slow methodical approach won’t save us from this urgent crisis!”

“Don’t worry. I’ll contact Chief Zhao of the Special Task Force directly and get a professional to give us some pointers. It’s better than us acting on impulse!”

As he spoke, he dialed the number of the director of the Special Task Force, Zhao Qingchi.

“Hello, is this Master Lin?”

Lin Xiangyun did not waste any time. He described what happened there quickly and concisely. In the end, he asked, “What should we do about this?”

On the other end, Zhao Qingchi’s breathing became heavy. Even Lin Xiangyun and the others could hear it clearly.

Ten seconds later, they heard Zhao Qingchi’s voice. “I’ve already gotten the nearest secret service members to close in. There are two seven-star and four six-star cultivators among them. If anything happens, they’ll rush over immediately.”

After he said this, he paused for a moment and continued, “The safety of the four masters is incredibly important. I’ll send more people over as soon as possible!”

“We don’t care about ourselves. This time, the foreign races have a big plot. If they succeed, the Nine Provinces’ forging industry will be set back another 10 years at least. These young people who’ve come to participate in the competition are talented geniuses. We can’t afford to lose!”

In a building in Red City, the capital of the Red Heart province, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face tried his best to speak in a calm tone, “Don’t worry, I’ll guarantee with my life that there won’t be any problems!”

Zhao Qingchi tried his best to prevent his anger from seeping out.

After he hung up, the face of the Special Task Force’s director in Red City instantly turned red. He roared angrily, and it almost shook the entire office building.

“Where the hell did everyone go? You can’t do your job, you’re being played like monkeys by the enemy, and you have to wait till the victims call for help. Are all of you that useless?”

In an instant, the entire building fell silent.

Once he vented the anger in his heart, Zhao Qingchi quickly calmed down, but the cold murderous intent in his eyes seemed capable of freezing the air.

A few capable subordinates pushed the door open and entered silently. Then, they stood in a row.

Zhao Qingchi did not waste any time and quickly said, “There are rebellious blacksmiths in the exchange conference colluding with the foreign races and attempting to kill a large number of top blacksmiths in the Nine Provinces. Kill all these traitors and foreign races. Most importantly, we can’t lose any of those young blacksmiths. Otherwise, the entire Agency of Special Affairs and the entire Red Heart province will become the laughing stock of the Nine Provinces. We will never be able to raise our heads! We’ll head out now and decide the battle plan on the way. This time, there’s only one requirement—be fast, accurate, and ruthless! Let’s go!”

The director was a decisive person. He did not even take the stairs. He pushed open the window and jumped out. With a whoosh, he landed in the parking lot in the courtyard.

When the others saw this, they did not take the stairs either. They all jumped out of the window and quickly boarded their vehicles before they sped toward the venue of the conference.

At this moment, Chu Qingyan had also arrived at Wu Mo’s forging room and knocked on the door.

The moment Wu Mo opened the door, Chu Qingyan said, “Are you ready? If you’re afraid, you don’t have to feel embarrassed. I can understand. After all, we’re both blacksmiths!

“Aren’t you a little too early?” Wu Mo frowned. The results haven’t been announced yet, but you’re already here. Are you afraid that you won’t die miserably enough?”

Chu Qingyan sneered,”You’re a stubborn duck! I might not be as good as you in forging, but in terms of combat, I’ll give you a hard time!”

Wu Mo could not be bothered to bicker with this guy and nonchalantly said, “Just tell me where the duel is!”

“After the results are announced, I’ll bring you there. We’ll wait for you at the entrance of the gymnasium. You don’t have to come, of course!”

“See you!”

Chu Qingyan did not say anything else. He turned around and left.

He had come to see if Wu Mo was around. He was really afraid that this guy would retreat at the last minute. If that happened, he would not be able to release the hatred in his heart. This operation would be a lot less meaningful to him then.

Wu Mo returned to his room and saw that Xu Wanqing and the others were refining a few pieces of equipment. He did not disturb them and waited quietly.

Not long after, the broadcast in the stadium echoed. The results were about to be announced, and everyone was asked to gather in the middle of the square.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the center of the square. Lin Xiangyun and the other masters were already waiting there.

They swept their gazes across the many blacksmiths and paused for a moment on Wu Mo. Lin Xiangyun acted as the representative and gave a speech, which made everyone fall asleep.

Wu Mo guessed that these masters were probably trying to buy time to make arrangements.

Finally, the results were officially announced.

As expected, Wu Mo won the competition. Zhang Weiyi from the Red Heart province took second place, and Xu Wanqing took third place.

Gan Yun was ranked sixth, Chen Qingbai was ranked ninth, and Liu Ze was ranked tenth.

Everyone from the White River province had entered the top 10. This was the best result the White River province had ever achieved.

Many people looked at them with envy and shock. The White River province was actually that powerful.

Chu Qingyan was also incredibly surprised by the results, but there was no disappointment on his face. Instead, a faint smile hung at the corner of his mouth.

“Who cares about the results you get? The better it is, the faster you die! It doesn’t matter that you’re a genius. A dead genius is no longer a genius!”
