Chapter 332: Chapter 261: The obvious contrast of the noble!_2

"Fine, it seems that my item is not quite suitable for this kind of person. Besides, such an aristocrat and I should have nothing to do with each other."

"No, no, no, Mr. Knight," Smith, who still wanted to earn his commission, immediately said, "Mr. Knight, Mr. Perkins really wants to buy that item.

He is a staunch supporter of creationism, so he is very interested in that item. Also, Mr. Perkins is a billionaire..."

Smith didn’t finish his sentence, but the message was clear.

Sean Knight thought for a moment and said,

"Alright then. If he really wants to buy it, he should show some sincerity. If he keeps that superior attitude, don’t blame me for being rude again."

Being pushy is not good for business, which Sean now understood.

The other party might think that he was desperate to sell, naturally, they would manipulate the negotiation.

Did they really think he has no place to sell that thing?

He was just selling an item, not looking for an ancestor!

After venting with Smith, he felt a lot more comfortable, hung up the phone, didn’t bother reading anymore, went downstairs to see Kathy instructing the cook to make some snacks. He didn’t interrupt them but walked outside and took a couple of turns in the courtyard.

Then, his phone rang again.

Seeing it was still that number from Hugh Perkins, Sean answered the call, saying coldly,

"Hello?"

"Hello, I am the butler of the noble Viscount Hughes, my master heard that..."

The other party’s tone was still arrogant, which irritated Sean.

He directly interrupted Joyce, speaking quickly,

"I don’t care if your master is a noble or a commoner, if your master wants to buy my item, then show the attitude of a buyer! I’m selling something here, I’m not begging you to buy it. Your attitude pisses me off! If you want to buy, come, inspect the item, make an offer, or get lost!"

Just now, Joyce had been complaining to Smith on the phone.

Smith patiently explained,

"Mr. Sean Knight is a very good trading partner. I have maintained a good relationship with him, and there must be some misunderstanding between you. For a transaction, both parties’ attitudes are important..."

With Smith’s explanation, Joyce felt he should be more magnanimous, forget the previous unhappiness, and try again with a calmer tone, should be okay, right?

But he was scolded by Sean again!

He was also furious!

"My master will not do business with someone as rude as you!" He hung up first.

The other party hung up, Sean didn’t feel it was a pity, just felt somewhat nauseous.

Are there still people like this these days?

How did this nobleman survive for so long with a butler like this?

Or does this butler also look down on the common people?

Sean only guessed for a moment and didn’t think too much about it.

Kathy called soon after, saying that the buyer she had contacted had arrived.

This made Sean instantly feel a lot better!

Look at their attitude, visiting in person!

"This is Mr. Black, the younger son of Old Mr. Black, he inherited the title from Old Mr. Black. Oh yes, Old Mr. Black and Mr. Jeremy are friends."

Kathy’s introduction was a bit confusing, but Sean understood it, this guy is an aristocrat too!

Are there so many aristocrats these days?

"Mr. Knight, hello! Nice to meet you!" Young Black was very enthusiastic.

"Hello, hello." Sean shook hands with Black.

Young Black is a somewhat weak white youth, looks under thirty years old, wearing a top hat, his clothes and dressing gave a very meticulous feeling.

Entering the living room, Kathy asked,

"Mr. Black, tea or coffee?"

"Tea, thank you."

Kathy called a maid to serve two cups of tea and then withdrew.

"My father and Mr. Jeremy are good friends." Young Black initiated the conversation, "He bought some very nice collectibles from Mr. Jeremy before. I did not expect Mr. Knight to be even more amazing..."

How pleasant it was to hear these words!

Sean laughed and said,

"Mostly because I love the quest of treasure hunting and have had decent luck so far."

"Good luck itself is part of one’s strengths," Little Black replied seriously, "I never believe it’s just random as having good luck represents ability!"

Seeing Little Black speak so formally, Sean Knight didn’t know how to joke with him anymore.

He suddenly felt that this person might genuinely believe in creationism.

Is this how nobles think? Smith said earlier that Hugh Perkins also believes in creationism.

Little Black, on the other hand, didn’t put on any noble airs but chatted enthusiatically with Sean Knight about everything from astronomical phenomena to the trending gossip. Sean couldn’t help but feel curious.

As a noble, what does he do all day? How does he know so much?

Little Black seemed to read Sean’s mind and explained,

"As nobles, we need to be knowledgeable in many fields so that we can always have something to talk about in any situation. Being a noble can be hard work..."

After nearly half an hour of casual chat, they finally got to the point.

"My father was very surprised and delighted when he received a call from Ms. Kathy and saw that photo! He’s a firm believer in creationism and, under his influence, I’ve learned much about it, although I never really supported it. However, with more life experience, I found many phenomena that the theory of evolution can’t explain, which leaned me more towards creationism..."

Sean chuckled in reply,

"That’s good, having your own opinion is great. So, should I bring out the item now for you to have a look?"

"Yes, yes!" Little Black’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Sean asked Black to wait a moment while he went upstairs. He came down a moment later carrying the stone box. He set it in front of Black saying,

"It’s inside here? Although I’ve seen photos, I’m still a bit excited right now."

"Yes." Sean opened the stone box for him.

The moment he saw the crystal, Little Black was taken aback. Then, he exclaimed,

"It’s true... I didn’t expect... there really are such magical things in this world!"

"This is a holy relic of a certain Maya tribe," Sean explained, "It’s a natural crystal, not made by man. In addition, touching this crystal has an unexpected effect!"

The energy within the crystal, though it was absorbed by Sean yesterday, would recover a bit today. This was a general attribute of such things, and Sean knew it.

"What effect?" Little Black was instantly enthralled by Sean’s words.

Then, he reached out to touch the crystal.

"Stop!" Sean yelled, "Unless you’re sure you want to buy it, it’s better not to touch it."

"Why? Is it dangerous?" Little Black asked, slightly puzzled.

"No, there’s no danger. Actually, it’d be beneficial. However, I can only tell you about it after you’ve decided to buy it."

Even though Kathy had told him that Uncle Jeremy knew Old Black, Sean hadn’t met Little Black before and felt it was best to be cautious.

Somehow, Sean found himself treating people he met abroad differently from those he knew domestically.

Although disappointed, Little Black quickly regained his composure, examining the crystal hand bone closely and even using a magnifying glass to get a better look.

Clearly, he was a composed person who wouldn’t just decide to buy something based on a few words from Sean.

After examining it for a while and even doing some searches on his mobile phone, Little Black finally put down his magnifying glass and gloves, then said to Sean,

"Apologies for taking so long..."

"No trouble at all, I can see that you’re serious about wanting to buy it, and it shows in the diligent manner you’re working."

"Mr. Knight, you are truly understanding. I’ve decided to purchase this... relic. I believe that the existence of this object is enough to challenge and even overthrow some of the assertions in the theory of evolution!"

Sean, not wanting to get into a discussion about creationism and evolution, quickly said,

"If you want to buy, you can touch the crystal now. You should understand what I mean by its effect."

"But I haven’t made an offer yet." Little Black was very assertive, "I feel that ten million US dollars would be an appropriate price."

Sean shook his head and smiled,

"No, no, no, after you touch it, you’ll feel that this price is not appropriate."

Little Black didn’t understand Sean’s words but anticipation was etched on his face.

Sean too was looking forward to it.
