"Oh? What is this? It can help Snow Girl's illness? "
Amasa Hiko's eyes lit up. He immediately ignored Chen and looked at the tray covered with red cloth.
Amasa Yuki and the rest of the antique lovers also looked at the tray.
Even Chen was curious about it.
* Swoosh! *
Umekawa Shichijiro tore off the red cloth and said excitedly, "This is a piece of Phoenix's Eye Agarwood! It has a history of thousands of years. The wood was obtained by Chinese craftsmen during the Tang Dynasty. They carved it into the shape of a phoenix soaring through the sky! "
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the wooden sculpture on the tray.
It was an exquisitely carved wooden sculpture.
It was about twenty centimeters tall and ten centimeters wide. It was dark red in color and had a lot of dark rings on it. It looked like the eyes of a phoenix!
"This carving is amazing! The phoenix is so lifelike! It's so beautiful!" Amasa Yuki was a layman. She could not stop praising the sculpture just by looking at it.
The layman would just watch the show. The expert would have to look at the artistry.
"This carving really has the characteristics of Chinese Tang Dynasty art! It's so graceful and elegant! "
"This material is extremely rare as well! I heard that Phoenix's Eye Agarwood has the effect of clearing the heart and calming the nerves. If you keep it by your side, your body will become stronger and you will be immune to all kinds of diseases! "
"Master Umekawa is amazing! I can't believe he found such a gift! Not only is it a rare antique, it's also a rare Spiritual Medicine! It's hard for Mr. Amasa not to like it! "
The group of antique lovers exclaimed. They regarded the wooden sculpture as a treasure from the heavens.
At the same time, they looked at Umekawa Shichijiro with a fawning gaze.
To them, Umekawa Shichijiro would definitely be able to win Amasa Hiko's favor with this wooden sculpture.
And it was indeed so.
"Amazing! Amazing! "
Amasa Hiko could not stop praising the wooden sculpture. "This carving! This size! This material! This is an impeccable piece of art! Oh no! It should be a godly item! Because it can help Snow Girl's body! This is amazing! "
Seeing everyone's shocked expression, Umekawa Shichijiro's face lit up with pride. He even rolled his eyes at Chen.
"Everyone, you really have a good eye! In order to obtain this wooden carving, I spent a lot of effort, used countless connections, and spent 300 million USD to finally get my hands on it! "
Umekawa Shichijiro raised his chin and said proudly, "Even though I've paid a huge price, I think it's all worth it to be able to receive Grandpa Amasa's praise and to be able to take good care of Yukime!"
The crowd cheered again. Even Amasa Yuki could not help but look at Umekawa Shichijiro in a new light.
"Heh, and here I thought it was something incredible. Look at how inexperienced you all are."
While everyone was praising and exclaiming, Chen let out a disdainful laugh.
"Little bastard! You're simply too audacious! "
Umekawa Shichijiro was enraged. "My wooden carving was praised by Grandpa Amasa himself as a godly item! All the uncles praised it! Who gave you the guts to say that Grandpa Amasa and the other uncles are ignorant! "
His words were obviously meant to sow discord and fan the flames. The crowd was immediately enraged.
"Brat, you're too arrogant! All of us are antique experts! The number of bridges we have crossed is more than the number of roads you have walked! How dare you say that we are ignorant?! "
"From what I see, this kid is just unhappy that Master Umekawa stole his limelight. That's why he's just saying it out of spite. Everyone, don't take him seriously!"
"Indeed. He's just a greenhorn. Let's just pretend that he's spouting nonsense!"
The group of antique enthusiasts snorted at Chen. They did not take Chen Xiaobei's words seriously at all.
Amasa Hiko was also very unhappy. He immediately asked the guests to leave. "Yukime, it seems like your benefactor does not want to stay here. Go and write him a cheque. Ask him to leave the mansion."
"Oh, got it." Amasa Yuki nodded.
She was originally very interested in Chen Xiaobei.
But now, Chen Xiaobei was running his mouth. First, he asked her grandpa to give him the Sui Generis Dragon artifact. Then, he said that everyone in the house was ignorant.
Her good impression of Chen Xiaobei was instantly reduced to zero.
"A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well! You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! How dare you call yourself an expert! What a joke! Keep your cheque to buy rubbish! I don't need it! "
Chen shrugged and stormed out of the room.
Everyone's face turned green when they heard that. They were ignorant just now. Now, they had turned into frogs at the bottom of a well.
"This Chinese asshole! How dare he make it worse after slapping us in the face! Who do you think you are?!"
"That's right! That kid is too arrogant! Did he forget that this is our Japan?! This is Amasa Family's territory! "
"He even asked us to keep our cheque to buy rubbish! Is he saying that the 'divine item' that Master Umekawa bought is rubbish?! "
The antique experts were furious. All of them glared at Chen Xiaobei. If they were somewhere else, they would not have let Chen Xiaobei leave so easily!
Amasa Yuki's frown deepened. Her good impression of Chen Xiaobei had already gone down. Now, she hated Chen Xiaobei a little.
This Chinese kid was too arrogant! He was too full of himself! He was only in his twenties but he made it sound like he knew a lot about antiques!
Pretending to know something when one did not know something was the most annoying thing to do.
At that moment, Umekawa Shichijiro was thinking the same thing as Amasa Yuki. This was the perfect opportunity to step on Chen Xiaobei!
"Asshole! Stop right there! "
Umekawa Shichijiro roared, "Did you just say that we are frogs at the bottom of a well? Are you trying to say that you have seen a lot of the world? "
Chen Xiaobei stopped in his tracks. His lips curled into an evil smile.
Stupid fish took the bait!
"I have never seen a lot of the world. However, the 'divine item' that you are talking about is just rubbish to me! "Chen Xiaobei turned around and said calmly.
"What?!" Everyone was shocked.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know how much effort I put in to get this Phoenix Eye Agarwood Carving?! "Umekawa Shichijiro said angrily.
Chen Xiaobei laughed and said, "Heh … That's why I said that you guys have never seen a lot of the world! It's worth it to pay such a huge price just for a piece of scrap! "
"Scrap?! Idiot! "
Umekawa Shichijiro was furious that Chen Xiaobei belittled the wooden carving that he worked so hard to get.
"Asshole! Take out a better wooden carving if you can! We will be convinced! But if you are just trying to act tough, I guarantee that you will not be able to leave Japan alive! "Umekawa Shichijiro gritted his teeth.
"Heh … A better wooden carving?"
