Chapter 67 - 62 (2/2)

The hallway that they were passing was different from the previous, it was full of antique luxurious vases that were said to be collected from the old era to the passing ones by the ancestors of the Yu household. In every corners of the room had those precious vases that were put into display.

One could differentiate the previous hallway to this as the previous one had paintings of the family members from their ancestors to the latest family members while in this hallway going to the head patriarch's office were decorated with vases.

With curiosity Terra suddenly asked Samuel, ”Is this the original setting of the mansion or the head patriarch loves antique vases that they were put here?”

”Good observation, miss. When the former head patriarch Yu Chuyun was still alive, those vases were still in there in the living area but as young master Yu Luo was now appointed to be the head patriarch, he had an hobby of admiring certain artifacts that he wanted to always see it when he passes through this hallway going to his office.”

The silver haired young man heard that the newly appointed head patriarch came back from overseas and he was from the younger generation as they had no other capable family member that could be suitable to run the businesses of the Yu household and put order inside the household. Yu Luo was still twenty-two years old this year and he was now the head patriarch of the clan.

Chun was interested to meet this genius as he was known to be good not only in cultivation but he's a prodigy when it came in the business world. At the age of seventeen, he already started his own company which was specialized in trade and shipment of goods, at the age of eighteen, he graduated at the Altise Academy with flying colors and built his own organization which was the IT Association at Zenzen continent that was into technology and gaming. A business opponent of Shuho household as they had also a hand in the technology industry.

Though, Chun was curious into something.

The charming butler opened the double door as he gestured for them to come in. As they went inside the room, it was strangely full of figurines. They were figures of people with wings or spear or other weapons like in chivalry were placed each corners of the office, and had its own shelf of display. Samuel didn't went in as he closed the door.

The man who was seated on the leather chair had handsome features, he had a chiseled jaw, raven black short hair that was tied in the back of his head, a straight nose and a passionate eyes that was occupied staring into a goddess figurine who had a scepter on her hands and spread wings on her back.

He was ogling at the figurine that made his ȧssistant on his side coughed in order to catch his attention. Momentarily, Yu Luo who was busy, frowned at the ȧssistant as he smiled when he spotted Chun and the others. He didn't oozed the usual dangerous aura or mȧturė aura of a businessman as he welcomed them in a friendly manner. Though, Chun thought that this kind of individual shouldn't be underestimated as they were usually a wolf in a sheep's clothing.

”Instructor Chun, can I call you Third young master? I am a 'friend' of your father and I heard incredible things about you,” Yu Luo stated as his expression turned into somewhat strange as if he was staring at the previous figurine he wad occupied with.

The passionate gazes of the man was ignored by the silver haired youth as she replied, ”Friend? I thought you were an opponent of my father---”

Yu Luo immediately responded, ”No... we are just opponents in the business but during events we would always talk with each other so we are considered to be friends or acquaintances, or whatever you call it.”

If you could consider throwing insulting remarks at each other's faces or deliberately flaunting infront of one another as talking like they were close. Then absolutely they knew each other and were friends.

”Third young master, you really look like a doll. You're more prettier than my collections,” Yu Luo suddenly blurted out that made his ȧssistant facepalmed from his boss' outrageous remark. Complimenting a young man to be prettier than those deity figurines… wasn't it an insult?

The ȧssistant knew very well the boss' attitude when it came to things that would catch his attention and this third young master contained the perfect description of what Yu Luo stated, 'An artifact should have the appearance of a unique beauty that could want a possessor to never let go or turned his attention away from it.' Despite the intelligence of Yu Luo when it came to businesses, he had a strange hobby as an artifact collector.

”Third young master, I am ȧssistant Wei. Sorry about my boss' bluntness as he would usually like to compliment someone or something that fascinates him,” Wei explained as he let them sit on the chairs inside.

As if waking up from his trance, Yu Luo cleared his throat as he diverted his eyes away from Chun, ”Are you here for the case?”
