“I’d love to help you Jin but I’m backed up. Got a lot of orders that came in and I need to get it done. Not to mention that I currently don’t have the tools necessary to fix your equipment.” Seeing Jin’s mood becoming increasingly sour and fearing any property damage, Benjamin hurriedly continues speaking. “However, I may know of a way to help you. There is a guy just down the way named Godfrey. Hell of a blacksmith but not as good as yours truly. He’ll be able to get it fixed for you. Just tell him I sent you.” A low growl escapes from Jin as he picks up his items and leaves the building without a word. It only took a few minutes for Jin to reach Godfrey’s shop, a small yet elegantly designed building nestled near the outskirts. Upon entering, Jin instantly spotted the towering being known as Godfrey. The man stood as tall as Jin himself with a similar physique. As Jin goes to place his equipment on the counter, Godfrey spots him and moves towards him. “Good day friend. Welcome to my shop. How can I help?”

A man quickly walks in with his hands in his pockets, his eyes darting back and forth. Godfrey, noticing the man, briefly acknowledges him. “I’ll be with you in a second sir.” The man nods rapidly before continuing his stroll. “Something is up…” Jin thinks to himself. Suddenly, the door swings open and the man bolts outside. Catching a glimpse of the weapon the man stole, Godfrey hops over the counter and attempts to chase him. He gets to the door and sees the man running in the distance but knows he can’t leave the shop unattended.
“Friend, I need your assistance. I can’t leave this shop but I want that man brought back. If you do so, I will repair your items for free.” At the mention of free, Jin gets up and cracks his knuckles. After the past few days he’s had, he needed something to hit. “Consider it done.” Jin says darkly as he goes to give chase. Before he does, he is stopped by Godfrey’s words. “I don’t care what you do to him but bring him back alive.”

A few moments later, Jin found his prey trapped; the man had cornered himself at a dead end. Fear washes over the man’s face as Jin nears him. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’ll give it back man.” The man says as he extends the stolen dagger forward. In that moment, Jin did not see the man who stole the dagger, he only saw Yamashiro. The man who lied to him. The man who worked alongside Tsukishima. The man who held the key to Izumi’s location. Moving with purpose, Jin had tunnel vision. With a growl, he strikes the man directly in the face. The man crumples to the ground like a rock as Jin suddenly comes back to his senses. Wasting enough time and wanting to get back on track as soon as possible, Jin picks up both the dagger and the now unconscious man and heads back to Godfrey’s.

Godfrey moves towards the man and splashes his face with some water. The man shudders as he is roused from his slumber. He glances around, seeing both Jin and Godfrey staring at him. “Shit…” he mutters. “You think it’s funny to steal my belongings?” Godfrey says with an eerie calmness to his voice. He twirls a mallet in his right arm as he draws closer towards him. “I’m sorry man. You have it back. No harm no foul right?” Godfrey flashes a dark smile before slamming the mallet on the man’s kneecap, breaking it instantly. His pain filled screams filled the room as Jin could only watch. As the seconds pass, another part of the man’s body is broken. A few minutes pass before the man is sobbing mess slumped on the chair. Godfrey glances over towards Jin and motions for him to exit with him. As he closes the door, he begins to speak. “I’m…. sorry you had to see that. That is not a side I take pride in showing. I appreciate you not stopping me. I won’t forget it. Your equipment has been repaired. Per our agreement, I won’t charge you for it. I’ve also left you a small token of my appreciation beside it. Please don’t be a stranger.” He says as he shakes Jin’s hand. Jin quickly heads back out to the front and retrieves his equipment, eager to finally confront Yamashiro.
