969 Like a Frog in the Well (2/2)
The antiquarians sneered at Chen Xiaobei, choosing not to take him seriously.
Amasa Hiko was also very unhappy so he commanded, ”Asama, it looks like your benefactor wants to leave. Give him the cheque so that he can leave our mansion.”
”Oh, alright.”
Asama Yuki nodded.
She was initially very interested in Chen Xiaobei but Chen Xiaobei ran his mouth. First, he wanted her grandpa to give him the Sui Generis Dragon artifact. After that, he claimed that the house was full of uninformed people.
Her affection for Chen Xiaobei had diminished to almost next to nothing.
”A bunch of greenhorns who know nothing calling themselves experts! What a joke! You can keep your rubbish cheque! I don't need it!”
Chen Xiaobei shrugged, rolled up his sleeves and walked away.
The crowd was red with anger. He called them uninformed then called them greenhorns! It was insufferable!
”This Chinese bastard's face had just slapped by us and now he becomes even worse! Who do you think you are?”
”That's right! This kid is conceited! Did you forget that you are in the great Japan? This is Amasa's property!”
”You want us to keep our rubbish cheque? Are you saying that the godly item that Master Umekawa bought is rubbish?”
The other antiquarians were all baring their teeth. If they were elsewhere, they would not have let Chen Xiaobei off the hook so easily! Asama Yuki's opnions of Chen Xiaobei had now taken a turn for the worse. She even felt a slight hatred towards her.
'This Chinese kid is just too conceited! He is only twenty years old, but he speaks as if he is an antiquarian himself!'
'This kind of people are the disgusting!'
Umekawa Shichijiro had a similar thought as Amasa Yuki: this was the best chance to step on Chen Xiaobei!
”You stupid kid! Stand up!” Umekawa Shichijiro burst out, ”You say that we don't know anything? Does that mean that you have seen the world?”
Chen Xiaobei stopped in his tracks, the corner of his mouth upturned menacingly.
The dumb fish was hooked!
”I have not seen the world. But to me, your so called godly item is just a piece of trash!”
Chen Xiaobei turned around slowly.
”What?”
Everyone was shocked.
”What are you babbling about? Do you know what I went through a lot to get this piece of art?” Umekawa Shichijiro said angrily.
Chen Xiaobei laughed. ”Ha! I told you that you that you don't know anything! You sacrificed so much for scraps!”
”Scraps?!”
The woodcarving he had worked so hard to obtain was being discredited by Chen Xiaobei. Umekawa Shichijiro was practically foaming at the mouth.
”You bastard! If you're so good, go ahead and take out a better woodcarving! Then we'll concede! But if you are just crowing, I promise that you will not leave Japan!” Umekawa Shichijiro said through gritted teeth.
”Hah! A better woodcarving?” Chen Xiaobei sniggered. ”How about something ten times better?”
