“Are you devoid of common sense?”
“Miyuki Kawashima!”
“Do you comprehend that although these artifacts may seem insignificant, they still amount to a total of 122 pieces?”
“Did you propose trading all of them? Do you understand the value of these three swords!?”
“Are we meant to exaggerate the worth of our relics? Do we truly need to gamble so many of our relics in this transaction?”
Hearing such an uninformed comment from this naive woman, Miyuki Kawashima, her superiors’ frustration was palpable.
How could she be so obtuse?
Who was responsible for this ill-conceived ploy?
If a beautiful woman was necessary for the plan, couldn’t they have chosen one with some modicum of intellect?
The Japanese superiors were genuinely concerned. With such limited understanding, would this woman manage to find her way back to Japan? Or worse, was she inadvertently setting herself up to be exploited?
“But I believe Mr. Luo has a valid argument!”
“Quiet!”
“So, what’s the next move? They demand 122 items!”
“Absurd! Just based on their worth, twenty or thirty relics plus 20 billion should suffice! ”
“Discuss the further course of action without me. I need to rest. Climbing that mountain was taxing!”
Miyuki Kawashima vented her displeasure.
How inconvenient was this?
You all should handle this instead.
Why impose on others?
If they really desired these items, they should simply pay more instead of relentlessly bargaining.
Isn’t such a task challenging for a subordinate to handle?
Meanwhile, Luo Feng’s next assignment was to accommodate members of the calligraphy association.
They were certainly permitted to visit and examine the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion calligraphy piece.
But that was the extent of it— no physical contact was to be made.
A few days later, Luo Feng, observing the steady outflow of artifacts, remarked with a smile, “Master Gu, as always, the aftermath is your responsibility. The artifacts will all be sent to my museum! I must depart now!” “Will you continue the excavation?
“Yes, I have the permit, not utilizing it would be wasteful!”
“Can’t you overlook the tens of millions spent on the permit? It’s a negligible sum, isn’t it?”
“You may think so, but isn’t tens of millions still a significant amount? Be cautious, Master Gu, or you might face public backlash on the internet!
Hahaha!”
Luo Feng bid farewell, accompanied by his affluent second-generation heir followers, and embarked on his journey southeastward.
Approximately three kilometers into the journey, Luo Feng initiated the scanner.
As they progressed, Luo Feng declared, “Meiji, Rubing, Shishi, An Peng, in about thirty kilometers, we’ll reach the base of the mountain. By then, we should approach the Black River! Once we’re there, I have an extraordinary treasure to reveal!”
“Extraordinary treasure, what do you mean, Luo Feng?” Qin Rubing asked, puzzled.
“Are you insinuating that Luo Feng has purchased a ship?” Li Shishi quipped.
‘ Su Meiji chuckled softly.
“Hahahaha, a ship? Would it even fit in the Black River?” An Peng roared with laughter.
“You’ll find out when we arrive.”
Luo Feng had been occupied with treasure hunting during this time. However, with sufficient funds at his disposal, he had not been idle.
He had bought a yacht for recreational purposes.
Mount Taibai was situated in the confluence area of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers.
At the base of the mountain lies a tributary.
Following it downstream leads to the Yangtze River.
Seven days had passed.
Luo Feng had not heard from Miyuki Kawashima.
But he knew she was still in the country, unsure of the larger scheme she might be weaving.
Yet, this na?ve woman had earnestly begun learning Mandarin and would text Luo Feng incessantly every day.
Her typing speed was agonizingly slow.
Luo Feng checked only every half an hour.
And each time, she had sent only a few sentences.
While Luo Feng enjoyed conversing with the attractive woman, what intrigued him more was the potential advantage she could bring if persuaded correctly.
However, if the topic of the trade was raised again, there was no doubt, 122 pieces plus 20 billion, otherwise, he was not interested.
Luo Feng had even considered the possibility that the people orchestrating this scheme were merely using her to seduce him.
Luo Feng suspected that this na?ve woman might be being exploited and yet, not realize her predicament.
She was like someone who had been sold but was still helping count the money.
“Mr. Luo, your yacht is moored by the riverside. I can arrange for someone to show you around!”
During their journey from the mountain to the Black River, they had discovered some treasures.
But none of them were particularly noteworthy, so Luo Feng let the villagers excavate them carefully.
Unless it was a significant tomb, Luo Feng would not intervene.
“There’s no need, just coordinate it with your yacht company!” Luo Feng waved off the offer.
“Understood.”
After signing a few contracts…
In the presence of some envious onlookers, Luo Feng and his affluent companions boarded the yacht….
