Chapter 783: Chapter 471: The Thoughts of an Old Japanese Soldier

Seeing how determinedly Kannda Nakani refused, Sean Knight could tell that he was genuinely terrified.

He didn’t think offering more money would help, so he asked:

"Why? Why are you so afraid of your grandfather?"

"Although my grandfather is eighty years old now, he’s still fearsome!

Although he didn’t go to China, my great-grandfather, his father, returned from the battlefield, and even taught my grandfather. It’s said that my grandfather killed someone with his own hands when he was twelve years old!"

Kannda Nakani’s eyes were filled with real fear.

Sean Knight’s initially smiling face gradually returned to normal, and a cold light flashed in his eyes as he asked suddenly:

"Did your grandfather kill someone from your family?"

"How did you know?" Kannda Nakani blurted out, and then immediately denied it: "No, don’t talk nonsense! Well, the deal is over, I have to go!"

Seeing Kannda Nakani’s hasty demeanor, Sean Knight suddenly said:

"Don’t be in a hurry, let’s chat. As long as I find the topic useful, this money is yours."

As he spoke, Sean Knight put the remaining stack of money on the table.

"Really?" Kannda Nakani’s eyes brightened when he saw the wad of US dollars. He tried to cover up his inner thoughts, but his actions in quickly sitting down gave him away.

"Of course, it’s true." Sean Knight took a note from the stack and handed it over:

"What’s your grandfather’s name?"

"Kannda Kouu!" Kannda Nakani almost snatched the money.

"How old is he this year?"

"Eighty-three or eighty-four?" Kannda Nakani took another note.

...

"Does your grandfather like to collect Chinese cultural relics?"

"Of course! However, he doesn’t collect them, but rather preserves them - these things are basically brought back by my grandfather’s father, and my grandfather has listened to his father’s words since he was a child, and regarded these things as spoils of war."

"What kind of things does your grandfather keep?" Sean Knight asked again.

This time, Kannda Nakani hesitated.

Sean Knight simply handed over ten notes at once.

Once there was the first and second cooperation, it was difficult to resist later on.

Moreover, Kannda Nakani really needed the money at this time.

Otherwise, someone would cut off his hands.

"There are bronze wares, the large ones, like... wine goblets? I can’t take them out. There is also a half-meter-high gilded bronze Buddha statue, too heavy and can’t be moved. Oh, and some jade items, which my grandfather loves very much, I can’t take them out."

Sean Knight slapped the remaining money down in front of Kannda Nakani:

"How many of these things does your grandfather have?"

"What are you trying to do?" Kannda Nakani didn’t take the money and asked with some fear, and then said with a weak and resentful tone: "My family has connections with the County Governor. You better not aim for my grandfather’s things!"

"Of course, I am a law-abiding citizen, how could I do such a thing..." Sean Knight said with a smile: "I have money, I just want to buy those things back..."

Kannda Nakani’s eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of those wealthy merchants in Europe and America who spent a lot of money to buy back Chinese cultural relics.

Isn’t the person in front of him also one of them?

However, Kannda Nakani immediately shook his head and said:

"My grandfather will not sell them. He is very stubborn and regards these things as the spoils of war for the Kannda family and will not let them go easily! If it weren’t for... his poor memory, I wouldn’t have been able to take anything out."

"What does your grandfather like? Does he have any obsessions?" Sean didn’t believe that this old Japanese soldier could be without desires. If he were without desires, he wouldn’t be holding onto these things so tightly.

"My grandfather..." Kannda Nakani thought for a moment, looked at the wad of money in front of him, gritted his teeth and said: "It’s beyond your ability. My grandfather wants to live longer. He has a serious illness and fears that he might not have many years left..."

"Leave that to me." Sean Knight smiled, "Don’t worry, I can make your grandfather feel the comfort of youth returning! Alright, this money is yours, introduce me to your grandfather. I will make him happy to accept my suggestion."

"Do you really have a way?" Kannda Nakani’s eyes widened, "Don’t fool people with hormones and such, my grandfather is also a well-informed person."

"Don’t worry." Sean Knight pushed the remaining money back in front of Kannda Nakani again, "Tell your grandfather that I have the ability to rejuvenate, and as long as he tries it, he will definitely believe me!"

Kannda Nakani hesitated for a while, and finally put away the stack of money.

Sean also took out two banknotes and handed them to Christina Blackwood:

"This is your reward for your excellent translation."

"You’re welcome." Christina Blackwood bowed slightly and took the money.

"Let’s eat first, and after that, I’ll take you to see my grandfather."

Sean gave the money smoothly, and Kannda Nakani began to believe him.

Anyway, the money was already in hand, and as for seeing his grandfather, it was no difference between extending or retracting his neck. He decided that after he met his grandfather, he would say that he was introducing someone to check his grandfather’s health, and then he’d slip away.

If anything happened then, it couldn’t be traced back to him.

Kannda Nakani praised his own cleverness!

The meal was eaten quickly, mainly because Sean was still not used to it. He considered it a novelty.

After the meal, the two cars, one in front and one behind, drove towards Kannda Nakani’s home.

Sean originally thought that Kannda’s house, like Tanaka’s temple, would be in the village, but he didn’t expect it to be in the center of the small town, with a large courtyard.
