Upon hearing Thorin's speech, Xu Feng realized this father-complex bastard had long figured out his slyness from the very beginning.
It was no wonder he was so hostile to him and wanted him to suffer repeatedly.
As if verifying his thinking, Thorin finally revealed his insight.
"At first, I thought you were another one of those who wanted to take advantage of my skill and attempt to use my daughter. But then, I realized you might be a cunning brat; you held no ill intention toward my daughter."
"I naturally wouldn't harm your daughter's path."
Xu Feng might indeed be taking advantage of Fiona, but it was actually a win-win situation for both parties.
The advantage he took was merely discounts and additional priority when it comes to his equipment or the guild. But in return, he offered her an abundance of resources and materials to hasten her progress in blacksmithing.
He never once skimmed out or tried to be stingy with them.
