Chapter 311: Chapter 251: Can’t Take a Joke for Real!_2

Although the person politely spoke on the surface, but between his words, Sean heard threats.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. I do have a few golden statues, but they don’t have any special abilities. You’ve got the wrong idea!"

Thinking of the golden figurine and Sitting Wolf statue he obtained this time, Sean started to make calculations in his mind.

There was some special energy in these statues, but they weren’t as abundant as the ones he got from the American Jungle. It wouldn’t be a problem to sell some of them off.

After all, keeping them wasn’t much use; they just took up space.

"As long as Mr. Knight agrees to sell, where shall we make the transaction?" Arthur Turner on the other side immediately agreed upon hearing Sean’s willingness to sell.

"West Province Capital, I’ll wait for you at the Bayi Hotel."

Despite not having Elijah Hastings and others by his side, Sean was not worried about his safety. After all, this was his home ground, and he had some confidence in that.

That day, Sean went to the provincial capital Urumchi, booked a room at the Bayi Hotel, and waited for Arthur Turner.

Sean didn’t expect Arthur would be so anxious that he hurriedly arrived by plane that night.

It was unexpected for Arthur that Sean would come alone; he even brought two bodyguards himself, and just to be sure, he also brought an appraisal expert with him.

In Sean’s VIP suite room, Arthur got straight to the point:

"Mr. Knight, can you show me the statue?"

Sean took out his package and pulled out a Sitting Wolf statue wrapped in a newspaper from inside.

Among the four large statues, the position of the Sitting Wolf was higher than the figurines, but the energy inside it was less than the Sitting Wolf’s. Therefore, Sean took the Sitting Wolf out.

This Sitting Wolf statue was almost twenty kilograms in weight, and considering just its gold value alone, it was worth tens of millions.

Seeing Sean casually taking out the Sitting Wolf statue and putting it on the table, Arthur’s eyes widened.

He stared blankly for a moment, then waved his hand, signaling the appraisal expert to take a look.

But Sean hindered him, with a smile that was not quite a smile, saying to Arthur:

"The opportunities with these statues are fixed; Mr. Turner, won’t you try it yourself?"

Arthur suddenly realized that there was special energy within it!

He immediately grabbed the expert and said anxiously:

"I’ll do it myself! I’ll do it myself!"

Having said that, he eagerly stretched out both hands to embrace the Sitting Wolf statue.

A sensation that was not very intense but quite clear went straight to his brain!

So comfortable!

This was the first thing Arthur felt!

He wanted to continue looking, but the Sitting Wolf statue was abruptly snatched away by Sean.

"How could you..." Arthur’s face showed discontent.

That feeling he had just now was the strongest and most comfortable of all the sensations he ever experienced; even that kind of thing couldn’t compare to this!

His emotions were interrupted just when he started feeling them, making Arthur extremely unhappy!

He glared at Sean, ready to burst into anger.

With a faint smile, Sean said:

"What’s the matter, Mr. Turner? Want a freebie?"

Arthur’s anger was suddenly choked back.

Fortunately, he had deep schemes and a thick skin, and he immediately laughed and said:

"How could I? I want this statue! How much?"

"Eight hundred million." Sean said the number casually, as if he was talking about eight bucks, not billions.

"Why don’t you just rob?" Arthur was instantly unhappy, as he heard that someone else paid just over 500 million to get a statue.

And now, he was asked to pay 800 million for one?

Doesn’t that make it look like he’s an easy target?

"This statue just came out, and its size is bigger than the previous ones." Sean lowered his voice and added another sentence, "Besides, if you put it in the right position, it can automatically replenish energy..."

After hearing that, Arthur was a little tempted.

But 800 million!

However you say it, it feels too expensive.

"Can we go a bit lower?" Arthur wanted to bargain.

The expert he hired felt like it was his time to shine, so he immediately stepped forward, cleared his throat and said:

"The gold statue looks quite old, so the purity of the gold must not be as good as modern gold."

His words successfully attracted everyone’s attention. Sean looked at him with a slightly strange expression.

"So, although this golden statue is quite heavy, its actual value is not as high as that of modern gold with the same volume. Of course, this is just looking at the gold aspect. As a cultural relic, I observe that it should be a product of nomadic nations like the Xiongnu during the Han period. So, it’s not particularly valuable..."

As he spoke, he reached out to touch it. The conversation between Arthur Turner and Sean Knight just now made him feel something was wrong, so he thought that maybe touching it might reveal something unexpected.

"Don’t move!" Arthur Turner suddenly shouted.

Sean Knight also quickly pulled the statue to the side.

The expert was somewhat displeased. He was somewhat well-known in his field, and people everywhere usually addressed him as Expert or Mr., but today he was ignored, and these two were being disrespectful even after he had spoken up.

"Mr. Knight, as you heard, this statue is not really that valuable..." Although Arthur Turner didn’t allow the expert to touch the statue, he had to use the expert’s words to bargain.

"Alright, for your sake, Mr. Turner, I’ll lower the price to 780 million."

Sean Knight’s first half of the sentence made Arthur Turner very happy, but the second half left him somewhat displeased.

"Mr. Knight, you’re really lacking in sincerity."

The expert immediately chimed in: "Exactly! No matter what, this Sitting Wolf Statue can’t be worth more than 700 million, it’s not even worth 70 million! At most, it’s worth 20 million top!"

Sean Knight didn’t answer and, wearing gloves, he wrapped the statue in newspaper, put it in a bag, and said to Arthur Turner:

"It’s not a successful deal, Mr. Turner, but let’s part as friends. See you!"

Leaving the room afterward, he made a please gesture.

Walk away?

Arthur Turner was really reluctant.

But if he didn’t, it wouldn’t be easy to make money himself.

He stood up and asked Sean Knight:

"Mr. Knight, you won’t lower the price any further?"

Sean Knight shook his head.

Arthur Turner turned around, looking at his bodyguard.

His bald bodyguard on the right thought that it was his time to play the role and threatened Sean Knight:

"You had better not make a mistake! Don’t be ungrateful..."

Before he could finish speaking, "slap!" Sean Knight slapped him in the face!

The bodyguard was stunned!

In East Hualand, Arthur Turner still carried some weight. So the bodyguard was used to being unyielding.

Usually, it was him doing the slapping, so when had anyone ever slapped him?

"Do you have a say in this?" Sean Knight coldly said: "Your boss didn’t have a problem, so what’s your problem? Do you think your fists are powerful? Are they more powerful than this?"

The bodyguard was already poised to strike back, and the other bodyguard also rushed over to stand by Arthur Turner’s side, ready to fight at any moment.

But they both froze.

Because Sean Knight was pointing at them with a pistol in his hand!

The bodyguards stiffened!

"It’s fake... right?" The bodyguard swallowed hard.

"You can try it." Sean Knight showed no concern.

The bodyguard twisted his head stiffly to look at his employer Arthur Turner.

"Mr. Knight, this joke is a bit too much." Arthur Turner was also a little scared. If Sean Knight really dared to shoot here, regardless of how the aftermath would be handled, he wouldn’t leave the place alive.

"Your man was at fault first." There was no emotion in Sean Knight’s voice. "You start it, and I’ll finish it."

"Alright. Lao Liu, apologize to Mr. Knight!" Arthur Turner took the opportunity to back down.

"Mr. Knight...I’m... I’m sorry." Faced with the muzzle, Mr. Luke still stood his ground, which would be strange.

"Get lost!" Sean Knight waved the muzzle, and Mr. Luke hurriedly retreated as if he had received an amnesty.

Perhaps too nervous, he bumped into Arthur Turner as he retreated.

If it wasn’t for the other bodyguard supporting them, both men would have fallen to the ground like a rolling gourd.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Knight, I cannot accept this price." Arthur Turner felt that Sean Knight was stringing him along, so he had to show some firmness.

Then he left.

Sean Knight watched them leave with a smile, then silently counted.

"Nine, ten..."

"Bang!" The door was slammed open, and the police and security guards rushed in together.

"Freeze!"

Sean Knight was not surprised at all:

"Was it Mr. Turner who reported me? You really can’t take a joke!"
