Chapter 782: Chapter 470: The Mysteriously Off-Track Policeman and the Very Silly Kanda_3

The shops and people in the service industry here are numerous, but the order is much better. With police patrolling the streets, the small hoodlums don’t dare to cause trouble.

As the car arrived in the small town, Sean Knight hadn’t had a chance to call Douglas Cooper yet, but he was already in front of them.

Sean got out of the car and looked at Douglas Cooper and a beautiful girl beside him.

"I knew you guys were almost here!" Douglas Cooper happily said to Sean:

"Boss, let me introduce you. This is Christina Blackwood. She’s a college student studying Chinese. She’s my director and translator now."

Christina Blackwood was a girl with a bookish air, wearing black-framed glasses and dressed rather traditionally. Her hair reached her shoulders, and she wore a long-sleeved T-shirt and ordinary pants, giving off a conservative impression.

After Douglas’s introduction, Christina bowed to Sean and said:

"Hello, Mr. Knight!"

Elijah Hastings had also gotten out of the car, followed by Monica Reed.

Seeing Monica, Douglas Cooper looked surprised. Elijah took him aside and quietly explained a couple of sentences.

"Mr. Kannda Nakani is waiting for you in the Dining Hall." Christina said, "Shall we go now?"

"Okay." Sean nodded, and Douglas and Elijah had already finished communicating. They then entered the Dining Hall together.

In a private room on the second floor, Sean saw Kannda Nakani and the two cultural relics Douglas had photographed for him.

The items were in a box, and Sean could tell that the box itself was an antique made of rosewood.

"Hello, Mr. Knight!" Kannda Nakani stood up and greeted with a smile.

Christina translated everything.

"Hello. Nice to meet you." Sean was also excited.

He lowered his head to look at the two items and asked:

"May I take a closer look?"

"Of course." Kannda Nakani couldn’t wait: "Mr. Cooper said you’re an expert in this field, so naturally, we need you to appraise."

Sean didn’t hesitate to reach out, picked up the bronze tiger first, and looked at it carefully.

With the Sky Eye opened, he could see at a glance that it was from the Warring States period. There was only one character on it, which appears to be the small seal script for "tiger."

Quite straightforward.

The item was genuine, and it had been outside for a long time. It just hadn’t been handled by anyone, so the rust had surfaced.

Putting down the bronze tiger, Sean opened Wen Zhengming’s "Thirteen Lines".

The characters were really beautiful. Although Sean didn’t know much about calligraphy, his eyes found it pleasing.

Naturally, the item was genuine, too, with no damage, just some creases. It seemed quite new.

Sean glanced at Kannda Nakani, guessing that he might have caused the creases.

But considering that he had leaked information, Sean decided not to make things difficult for him this time.

Gathering up the two items, Sean asked:

"The items are genuine. How much do you want to sell them for?"

When Kannda heard Christina’s translation, he hesitated for a moment and then asked:

"Isn’t it supposed to be you who offers the price?"

"If I were to offer, 10,000 US dollars for both items."

Christina looked at Sean for a moment before translating.

Kannda then asked:

"How much is that in yen?"

Instead of translating, Christina directly said to him:

"More than 1.3 million!" and then glared at him.

Sean found this look familiar. He knew Christina was blaming Kannda for embarrassing himself.

"That much?" Kannda was stunned for a moment, but then shook his head and said:

"No, it has to be more. That’s not enough."

In fact, he already thought it was enough.

But isn’t bargaining a part of doing business?

He had no idea how much these things were worth. More than 1 million yen was already quite a lot for him.

"I’ll add another 1,000 US dollars," Sean thought for a moment and said, "but I can’t do more than that."

10,000 US dollars equaled more than 1.3 million yen, and 1,000 US dollars were more than 130,000 yen... In total, it was about 1.5 million yen.

In fact, Sean noticed Kannda’s expression, knowing he agreed, so he only added a little more.

He could still make a profit anyway.

"Alright!" Kannda eagerly agreed.

Sean took out two bundles of US dollar cash from his pocket and threw one bundle to Kannda. From the other bundle, he drew out ten more bills and threw them at him as well.

"This is 11,000 US dollars. Count it."

After giving the money, Sean pulled the items toward him.

He examined them again before handing them over to Elijah.

Kannda happily counted the cash.

Sean suddenly asked:

"Mr. Kannda, are you interested in making a bigger deal?"

"Bigger? How much bigger?" Kannda stopped counting the money, looked up, and asked:

"Is it as much as this much?"

"Twice as much." Sean smiled, "As long as you agree to introduce me to your grandfather, I’ll give you double the money!"

"No way! Absolutely not! If my grandfather finds out I stole his things, he’ll beat me to death!" Kannda unexpectedly refused!
