Frog at the bottom of a well!
Chen Xiaobei had said that a long time ago!
But everyone at the scene looked at Chen Xiaobei as if he was crazy!
They claimed that they were antique experts and that the number of bridges they had crossed was more than the number of roads Chen Xiaobei had walked!
Even if they were beaten to death, they would never believe that Chen Xiaobei could take out a wooden sculpture that was ten times better than Umekawa Shichijiro's!
But Chen Xiaobei's Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix was better than Umekawa Shichijiro's in all aspects, be it size, age, style, or craftsmanship!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a hundred times better than Umekawa Shichijiro's wooden sculpture!
The final result was clearly displayed in front of everyone. The hat of being a frog at the bottom of a well was pinned on everyone's head without any suspense.
The group of so-called experts, how self-righteous they were just now, were now as ashamed as they were now.
It was as if they had been slapped in the face. Their faces turned red and green, and they were too embarrassed to even look at Chen Xiaobei.
Of course, the one who was the most depressed was Umekawa Shichijiro!
He had gone through a lot of trouble to get his hands on a wooden carving to please Amasa Hiko.
This had nothing to do with Chen Xiaobei.
But Umekawa Shichijiro took the opportunity to act tough. First, he told Amasa Hiko not to trust Chen Xiaobei. Then, he tried to kill Chen Xiaobei with a bet.
Chen Xiaobei would never forgive him if he was the one with the wrong intention.
Umekawa Shichijiro's wooden sculpture was overshadowed by the appearance of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!
Amasa Hiko stared at the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix and did not look at Umekawa Shichijiro's wooden sculpture anymore!
It was impossible for Umekawa Shichijiro to use this overshadowed gift to please the perfectionist Amasa Hiko.
Not only did he get slapped in the face, but he also lost the chance to please Amasa Hiko!
This was a classic case of failing to act tough and getting screwed over instead!
"I can't believe that Mr. Chen was not bluffing. I've wronged him …"
Amasa Yuki lowered her head and gritted her teeth. She could not help but feel guilty.
Earlier, she did not believe Chen Xiaobei and even said that he did not know what was good for him.
Looking at the result, she realized that it was not that Chen did not know what was good for him. It was just that she did not know Chen well enough.
Suddenly, he felt sorry for Chen.
"Everyone! From the looks of it, you should have already admitted defeat, right? "
Chen Xiaobei put on a harmless smile and said, "Then, please pay me the Spiritual Stones according to the bet. There are 18 people here. Should I ask Mr. Amasa to pay for them?"
As soon as he said that, everyone's faces turned green.
One spirit stone was equivalent to one billion yuan, which was equivalent to more than sixteen billion island dollars.
To Amasa Hiko, it was just a small sum of money. But to everyone else, it was a huge sum that would make them cut their own flesh and bleed!
This was especially true for Umekawa Shichijiro. He would have to cut off his arms and legs to come up with such a huge sum!
One should know that the original heir of the Umekawa family was Umekawa Neiku. Umekawa Shichijiro had just taken over. His resources and power were limited.
It was impossible for the family to help him pay this sum of money. If he had to pay it himself, it would definitely be the end of him selling everything he had!
"Alright! I'm willing to admit defeat! "
Amasa Hiko said in a low voice, "I will pay the 18 Spiritual Stones for the bet first! You guys can return them to me when you have the time. "
Umekawa Shichijiro's face darkened. If he owed Chen Xiaobei money, he could still renege on it. But now that he owed Amasa Hiko, he did not dare to renege on it!
Soon, the butler returned with a small box containing the Spiritual Stones and handed them to Chen Xiaobei.
"Alright! We're even! See you again! "
Chen Xiaobei kept the Spiritual Stones and was about to leave the place.
"Mr. Chen, please wait!"
Amasa Hiko quickly called out to Chen Xiaobei. He adjusted his tone and said politely, "I have two things that I would like to ask of you, Mr. Chen."
"Heh, let me guess. The first thing is to cure your granddaughter's illness, right?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Mr. Chen, you're so wise!"
Amasa Hiko said sincerely, "I was blind. I mistook a genius like Mr. Chen as an ordinary person! I sincerely apologize to Mr. Chen! I hope that Chen Xiaobei can cure Yuki's illness! "
"I'm not a petty person. I won't be mad at you anymore after taking your Spiritual Stones."
Chen Xiaobei waved the box in his hand and smiled. "But, I've told you the condition of the treatment. You have to think about it yourself!"
"There's no need to think about it. Yuki is the only child of my family. Her health is more important than anything else!"
Amasa Hiko said. "As long as my granddaughter doesn't relapse, you can take the Sui Generis Dragon artifact with you today."
"Alright! It's a deal! "Chen Xiaobei nodded and ordered," Cang Jingu, go and get the Sui Generis Dragon artifact! "
"What? Why is the Sui Generis Dragon artifact here? "Cang Jingu was shocked.
The reason they were going to the museum today was to get the Sui Generis Dragon artifact.
They did not expect their target to be the Amasa family.
No wonder Chen Xiaobei canceled the mission at the last minute. It was not to flirt but to get the real Sui Generis Dragon artifact!
Cang Jingu gave Chen Xiaobei 320 thumbs up in his heart when he saw that Chen Xiaobei had gotten his first target without a fight!
After that, Cang Jingu left with the butler.
"Secondly, I guess Mr. Amasa wants to ask me if I'm willing to sell this Hundred Birds Looking Up to the Phoenix wooden carving, right?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"You have a keen eye for everything! Nothing can be hidden from you, Mr. Chen! "
Amasa Hiko nodded and said, "To be honest, my biggest hobby in my life is collecting! I will regret it for the rest of my life if I don't get to keep such a godly item in my collection! "
"Alright, Mr. Amasa, name a price. If it's right, you can have this wooden carving!"
"Oh, right! I only accept Spiritual Stones! I don't accept cash!" Chen Xiaobei smiled and added.
"If you only accept Spiritual Stones, I'm willing to pay 100 Spiritual Stones. What do you think, Mr. Chen?" Amasa Hiko asked.
"One hundred pills?!" Chen was shocked when he heard that.
It did not sound like a lot!
But you have to know that Chen Xiaobei didn't spend any effort to get this Hundred Birds Looking Up to the Phoenix!
This was just one of the hundreds and thousands of items in the Zhuang Family's vault!
If this could be sold for 100 Spiritual Stones, then Chen Xiaobei would be able to make a killing if he sold all the other items in the vault.
Chen was very satisfied with the price. But, he calculated it for a while.
Amasa Hiko thought that Chen Xiaobei was not satisfied, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Mr. Chen, if you're not satisfied, I'm willing to pay 300 Spiritual Stones!"
