Ep.39 visiting the blacksmith pt1
While John and the others were walking past the bar and around the corner John called Anthony and said
"Hey Anthony I have officially started my guild and I'm going to host a party to celebrate at my bar you are welcome to join"
Anthony over the phone said while flipping through a note pad
"I'm afraid I am going to be very busy but when my schedule clears up I'll come by and congratulate you then"
John then frowned a little and said
"Well I expect no less from the void guild thank you and good luck and remember to drop by anytime"
Anthony while typing on his computer said with a smile before hanging up
"I will"
John then said after hanging up
"The void guild is busy so they can't join us. Let me try the lotus guild"
While they were walking and John was starting to call the lotus guild Steve tapped Jess's shoulder and said before handing her a phone number
"If John is every unavailable and you need help call this number"
Jess then took the note and said
"Thank you"
John then said after hanging up the phone
"Mary will come to the party"
As they turned the corner they saw a sigh saying
{Roswell blacksmith}
And Steve said
"This brings back memories"
John entered the shop to find some armour stands and weapon racks before a young girl came to the front desk and sat on a stool to see John and the others and said with a smile
"Hello and welcome to Roswell blacksmith how can I help you?"
Steve then took of his hat and sunglasses and kneeled and said
"Hey little rose you remember me?"
Rose then yelled with joy
"Grandpa! Uncle Steve is back!"
Before jumping off the stool and running out to Steve and hugging him and said with a pouting face
"Where have you been! I missed you"
Steve then hugged her and said
"I'm sorry I had work to do"
Before rose could say anything they heard a voice say behind where rose came out
"Where is he!?"
John and everyone turned towards the doorway where they found a man walking with a Cain with a hammer on his waste and a white beard and grey hair
John then used appraisal on the man to see his status

Steve then chuckled and said while tickling rose on the neck
"Hey old man seems your still kicking"
Gerald gave a glance at John and the others and said
"Seems you have brought guests"
John then said after handing rose a lollipop
"Hello sir can we have a private conversation"
Gerald then gave join a glare and said
"Either order something or get out I have to get back to work before the deadline comes up"
Steve was the first to say something
"Deadline? What are you talking about?"
Rose then said with a saddened face
"Grandpa says we have to make more orders to keep our home"
Steve then screamed while covering roses ears a little
"What happened!?"
Before Gerald said anything the door opened and a tall bald man with a shark logo on his suit came to the front desk and saw Gerald and said
"Times up old man we want our money now"
Gerald then sat down and said
"The deadline is at the end of the month"
Then bald man then slammed his hand on the desk and yelled
"We moved the deadline up to today"
Before Gerald could scream John said
"Excuse me May I ask how much he owes you?"
The man said while giving John a death glare
"$800,000 and my employer wants her money back"
Gerald said to Rose who was next to jess
"Rosey can you leave grandpa for a moment"
Rose then stomped her feet and said
"No I won't leave"
jess then kneeled down and said
"How about we get some ice cream?"
Rose then pouting and said before leaving with jess
"Fine"
Once they left Gerald said to the man
"I don't have the money yet just give me more time"
Before the man said anything John interrupted him saying
"How about I pay off the debt?"
Gerald then gave a glare at John and said
"You do realize how much it is right?"
Steve then said while next to Gerald
"My friend here can take care of it so don't worry"
John then said to Gerald
"Afterwards I just want to have a conversation"
Gerald then said with a little smile
"Thank you so much"
John then turned to the bald man and said
"I will pay the debt off"
The man said
"Very well the total debt is $824,654"
John then took out his phone and transferred the money and after the money was sent the man said before leaving
"Thank you"
Rose and Jess came back inside after the man left and rose said
"We're back!"
Gerald then said in a joyful tone to John
"Thank you so much sir now let's go have that conversation"
Gerald then got up and walked over to rose and said with a smile
"The bad man won't bother us anymore"
Rose then yelled with a smile
"Yay!"
Steve then said to Gerald
"I'll keep rose company while you talk with John"
Gerald then nodded and said to join
"Follow me"
