Chapter 71: Helping Samuel

"How skilled can someone be in this shabby place like Big Apple City?" Mikel wasn’t impressed. It’s not that he looked down on the artificers in Big Apple City, but if the most skilled artificer there was similar to that ’Master Juan,’ then there wasn’t much to expect.

"Today in the afternoon is when Master Juan will fulfill his three-day promise. Once he hands over the artifact, if the results aren’t satisfactory, let’s go and try that other person, what do you think?" Hubert suggested.

"We’ll see." Mikel had lost faith in Big Apple City’s artificers.

...

"Big Sister Amalia, you must save Samuel, the Salvador’s company is about to collapse," Carlos suddenly cried while dialing Amalia’s communicator on the second day.

Before Amalia could even turn around, she was caught by Kenny Lin who followed behind her. This was the first time she witnessed Carlos crying so hard. Even the last time he had trouble with the Cabello, he doesn’t look so pitiful like this.

"What’s happened to Samuel?"

"The people who was dealing with Samuel’s company are indeed led by Yannis. Originally, they had a three-month repayment schedule, now they’ve shortened it to three days. Moreover, his people framed Mr. Salvador, accusing his company for tax evasion and substandard products. They’re also threatening to seal the Salvador’s factory. Mr. Salvador has already been taken away. I have no idea what to do, so I came to find you," Carlos said, looking overwhelmed.

Yannis was clearly aiming to deal a severe blow to the Salvador, and this deeply concerned Amalia.

"I understand. I’ll handle this. Don’t worry," Amalia assured.

Ending the call, Amalia contacted Santiago, who had been lefted his communication number after she repaired his artifact, which came in handy now.

"Sister Amalia, how come you’re calling me?" Santiago answered promptly with a casual tone.

"Do you know about Yannis targeting the Salvador?" Amalia asked directly.

Santiago sounded surprised, "Yeah, this matter has been circulating in our circle. I don’t know how Samuel offended Yannis. But that Lunatic has been using unsavory methods to target the Salvador. They might soon be removed from Big Apple City."

"Samuel is my friend. Do you have any means to help the Salvador?" Amalian inquired.

Santiago was instantly troubled. "Sister Amalia, this might be a bit difficult. I want to help, but even combining the backgrounds of the three of us, it may not match Yannis’s family background. His family has connections with the people in Royal Durian City, and if you want to make Yannis stop, you need someone with higher social status than his family to intervene. I do know someone like that; Yannis is currently entertaining a young man named Mikel Sabate from Royal Durian City recently, but this Mikel Sabate is young and hot-tempered person. So, i’m afraid he probably won’t be able to help much."

"I see. Thank you," Amalia ended the call, but her brow remained furrowed.

"Are you suddenly feeling that power is very important?" Kenny Lin’s voice suddenly echoed in the hallway.

Amalia looked towards him. Her gaze paused abruptly.

Kenny Lin stood against the light, and causing the radiance to contend against him. Amalia couldn’t see his expression clearly, but he caught a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. Despite the bright sunshine outside is shining bright like a summer, an eerie darkness seemed to linger. Even the sunlight couldn’t dispel it.

"This world it’s always been unfair. Some are born into privilege and can standing upon the shoulders of giants. A mere movement of their fingers can make countless people bankrupt or even cost lives. Others are low, their destiny akin to ants beneath others’ feet, squashed with a step or a spit," Kenny Lin said with a smile that resembled a demon.

Amalia’s eyes darkened almost entirely, knowing Kenny Lin wasn’t wrong. She used to be among the former, but now she was among the latter. However, it’s all rooted because she was too weak.

"Do you wish to become stronger?" Kenny Lin asked.

"Kenny Lin," Amalia paused, "Do you know what kind of person do you look like now? You look lke a weird uncle that ready to lure children for trafficking. Do you see an ’easy to fool’ written on my face? Or do you think I look like a three-year-old kid?"

Kenny Lin scrutinized his face carefully. and said: "None of those," he replied, with a particularly regretful expression.

With that, Amalia’s mood improved significantly as she turned back toward her apartment.

"Stopped making money?" Kenny Lin’s voice came from behind, ostensibly teasing, yet spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Taking the day off today," Amalia didn’t correct him and left him outside, and then dialed Samuel’s communication number.

"Sister Amalia, why are you calling me?" Samuel asked with haggard look on his face, and feigned a casual tone.

Amalia hadn’t enabled the video, so she couldn’f see it, but she still could heard him:"Carlos already spoke to me about the situation. What are you going to do?"

Samuel was silent for two seconds. And said: "For now, I can only take it step by step."

"Is there anything I can help with?" Amalian inquired.

Samuel said, "The Salvador currently needs several billion in funds, which may not be possible, but..."

Suddenly, Samuel hesitated, and seeming conflicted.

"Speak freely. I’ll help in any way I can," Amalia sensed his hesitance.

Feeling a warmth in his heart, Samuel continued, "In that case, I’ll be frank. Sister Amalia, you know Santiago and Youssef, right? I’ve heard they’ve been particularly lauding your skills in repairing artifacts. A few days ago, I had a thought and wondered if you’ve heard the name of Mikel Sabate?"

"I asked Santiago just now, and he mentioned him," Amalia confirmed.

"Yannis is trying to get on Mikel Sabate’s good side. I heard he also specifically sought out a renowned artificer in Big Apple City that was called Master Juan, to repair an artifact for Mikel. Master Juan is talented, but Mikel isn’t foolish; he probably won’t give his artifact to Master Juan immediately for repair. He might want to test him first, to see if he’s really skilled. However, these are just my assumptions," Samuel was very busy lately, juggling to assist his father with bank loans, so he had limited information.

Amalia pondered for a moment, and also making some guess: "There are more artificers in the Royal Durian City than in the Big Apple City. If someone from a big family doesn’t approach an artificer from the Royal Durian City, either there’s some hidden reason they want to avoid, or their artifact isn’t easy to repair."

"If it’s the latter..." This was why Samuel had hesitated in discussing this with Amalia.

"You should contact Mikel," Amalia suggested.

Samuel felt both alarmed and concerned. "But what if..."

"No ’what if.’ Do you know why my store is named ’No. 1 artificer in the World’?" Amalian interjected.

Samuel: "..."

Suddenly, the solemn mood was broken, and Samuel felt little less sad.

In the adjacent apartment, sunlight streamed through the side window. Kenny Lin leaned against the wall, his handsome face half-bathed in light, and half-dipped in shadow, silently smiling.
