Chapter 318 - Humble Attitude (1/2)
The nificent hall had a naan, Seo Soojin and Ahn Suhyeong lived, and also where they received iuests There was no way Xia Lei would have been able to get close if Ahn Suhyeong had not led the way; Xia Lei was no ian or Seo Soojin
Xia Lei observed everything as they approached Ahn Retreat - where the ca spots, the quickest escape route, and so on He observed, and he considered his options
Inside the Ahn Retreat, everything was valuable, be it furniture or ornaments Rare woods, antiques, even the floor tiles were of the finest white ree of luxuriousness had Xia Lei taken aback
Xia Lei put on an envious, jealous face and acted all hu man, entrepreneur extraordinaire, but a backwards country lad who’d never seen the outside world before, just like Granny Liu in the story ‘Drea’s eyes were full of conteht, ‘He’s a bottom-feeder from the construction sites indeed He hasn’t seen the world One hall is enough to make him so much in aon’t he reveal his commoner self then, if he sees Father’s collection room?’
Xia Lei’s poor display made a small look of disappointment appear in Shentu Tian-Yin’s eyes She had hoped that Xia Lei would be , because theman in this world The Xia Lei she saever, orlds apart from what she had hoped for
However, Xia Lei pretended not to see either Ahn Suhyeong or Shentu Tian-Yin’s reactions He acted like he was ad the antique ornaments in Ahn Retreat, or the fine art while he used his left eye to scan the whole place
What confused Xia Lei was that he did not e to find any collection roo rooht them to a study Xia Lei saw inside of it before they entered There was a desk, shelves, a sofa, and a tea table made of precious red sandalwood It looked like a nor surveillance cameras installed up in the corners of the roo stood before the door and entered a passcode, had his fingerprint identified, then opened the study door
While he was doing that, Xia Lei had swiftly plucked a button from his shi+rt and removed the tiny receiver from his ear He threw both items into a potted plant by the wall in the study He’d spotted a metal door behind the bookshelf and the detection equipment installed on it If he did not remove the electronics on his body the equipot close, and he would not end up seeing the sword of Attila but a big group of ar entered and went straight to the bookshelf He reached out and pulled a book A series of clicks ca thewent to stand in front of it and entered the passcode, then had his fingerprints matched, then stood in front of the dial combination lock to turn it and enter the passcode
Xia Lei used his X-ray vision to observe the whole process He had seen the two passcodes Ahn Suhyeong entered, though he had blocked the entering of the passcode so that Shentu Tian-Yin and Xia Lei would not be able to see He had even used his body to block the turning of the dial, not letting thele Never in his wildest dreained that Xia Lei had seen his every movement, and even more clearly than he could see himself
The metal door opened slowly, and they could see that it was a foot thick It probably weighed at least a tonne!
The space behind the- only about twice the size of an average room, about 50 square ulated cases Many artifacts sat on the shelves and they looked old In the middle of the room was a wooden platfor on the fra dynasty style Under the wooden frame was a warblade and a sword, and both looked very old
Xia Lei’s eyes were drawn to the ancient sword right away It was the sword of Attila, and it looked exactly as it had in the picture his father had given hi
“Nn, this place is very unique I’d like to go in and have a look,” said Shentu Tian-Yin
Only Xia Lei could see things in the distance so clearly, and she could only see soer items, and not so clearly either
Xia Lei followed them in
Beep beep beep, beep beep beep…
An alarm suddenly went off
Xia Lei tensed up i I’d missed? Did that trip the alar’s suspicions’
Ahn Suhyeong walked back and stared straight at Xia Lei “What are you hiding on you?”
Xia Lei spread his hands calmly “I don’t know”
“I’etically, “I have a transmitter onas she spoke “Ming-Mei gave this to er and it will send out a signal, then uards will rush over to save me”
Xia Lei let out a breath of relief
Hurried footsteps came fro Korean came fro wrong, Young Master?”
