Chapter 785: Chapter 471: The Thoughts of an Old Japanese Soldier - 3

"You must be Mr. Knight? My father is waiting for you." Cold, stiff Chinese.

The two didn’t talk much, apparently Kannda Kouu’s matter was the most important.

Sean Knight quickly realized that Kannda Kouu’s authority still mattered even though he was already old.

At the entrance of the room, Sean pushed the door open and saw an old man barely managing to kneel behind a small table.

There was an ancient book on the small table, yellowed pages, seemingly very old.

Sean didn’t indulge the old man’s pretentiousness. He closed the door, sat down cross-legged and silently stared at the old man without speaking.

The old man was short, about 1.6 meters tall. He was old and haggard, and his bodily functions had greatly declined, according to Sky Eye’s scan.

Even if Sean didn’t bother him, he probably wouldn’t live more than a few years.

The Japanese soldier’s face, hands, and arms were covered in age spots, making him look quite unsightly.

He had only a few strands of hair left and his expression was serious, adding a somewhat comical contrast.

Right now, he was probably trying to test Sean’s patience. However, Sean didn’t indulge him.

Although he came to buy something, he had something the man desired. This was not a normal sale, or rather, he needed him to be eager to make this deal.

Of course, Sean’s intention was for the man to die sooner rather than later, to stop him from causing harm in the world.

Sure enough, after about five minutes, Kannda Kouu started to get impatient.

Originally, seeing Sean’s posture was just forceful, but the man was old – how long could he hold on?

"Are you Chinese?" Kannda Kouu asked coldly.

Obviously, he believed himself to be cold.

He spoke in Chinese, somewhat strange, but understandable. This made Sean slightly surprised; no wonder Christina Blackwood wasn’t allowed in.

Sean nodded:

"Yes."

"Your last name is Knight?"

"Elderly sir, I’m here to do business. If you’re sincere, then show sincerity, and I will naturally show mine.

If you’re insincere and don’t want to do this deal, let’s not waste each other’s time – both our time is precious! I don’t like these probing games!"

Sean’s words were like a slap in the face of Kannda Kouu!

Obviously, his little scheme had been exposed.

Kannda Kouu couldn’t keep his expression in check.

With his temperament, he would absolutely want to drive Sean out immediately.

Just like how he slapped Kannda Nakani moments ago.

Although his hand hurt now.

Kannda Kouu hadn’t left his courtyard in a long time. Still, the power within the courtyard was firmly in his hand.

He would never allow anyone to defy him!

However, seeing Sean’s fearless expression, Kannda Kouu knew this was not his useless grandson; this man had the capital to ignore him!

Wanting Sean to leave immediately, yet not wanting to let him go, Kannda Kouu hesitated.

What if the other party really had the ability to make him young again?

So it was very awkward.

In the end, Kannda Kouu relented and took the initiative to ask:

"You told Nakani that you have a way to make me young again? Is it medicine?"

In Kannda Kouu’s view, the only way to make people young again with today’s technology was medicine.

"No." Sean shook his head, "It’s a kind of energy."

"Energy?" Kannda Kouu had recently been studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, hoping to find a way to slow his own aging. So he was very sensitive to energy.

"Yes." Sean stood up and said:

"Would you like to give it a try?"

"Can I try? Will it be dangerous?"

"No." Sean walked over and said, "I just need to shake your hand, and you will be able to feel it."

To try or not to try?

Kannda Kouu hesitated.

He was afraid of the possibility if he didn’t try; if he tried, he was afraid Sean would take advantage of him.

Such a dilemma!

After much hesitation, Kannda Kouu finally extended his hand.

When Sean grabbed his hand, he had already output a little bit of energy into it.

After the last Sky Eye upgrade, Sean knew he could now transfer some of his inner energy outward.

Although not much, Sean believed that for Kannda Kouu, who was about to run out of oil, it was like a drop of water in the desert, a light in the darkness!

Sure enough, the moment the energy was transferred, Kannda Kouu’s eyes widened in shock!

He instantaneously felt a powerful force that could make him stronger appear in his body!

The once-cool blood in his veins heated up again, a long-lost impulse returned, and every part of his body seemed filled with vitality, sending signals to his brain:

I need this energy!

Just as Kannda Kouu immersed himself in this feeling, Sean suddenly let go of his hand.

The feeling instantly disappeared, leaving only the afterglow in his body.

Kannda Kouu felt like a man dying of thirst, just having a sip of water, only for it to be cut off. It was like being on the brink of climax, suddenly cut off – nothing left.

Although there was still a little afterglow, but it was far from enough!

He glared at Sean with extreme dissatisfaction, while Sean sat on the tatami mat, watching him indifferently.

Kannda Kouu, being cunning and slippery, could not possibly guess Sean’s thoughts. He sighed and said:

"What do you want?"

"What do you think?" Sean sneered, "You don’t know what I want?"

Kannda Kouu didn’t get angry either, and instead nodded and said:

"I know. It seems that Nakani must have told you that my house has collected many Chinese cultural relics.

How about this? I can give you five Chinese cultural relics. Can you turn me back... to my youthful state?"

"Five? Ha." Sean shook his finger, "You’re not sincere."

"Alright then, ten." Kannda Kouu looked painfully, "I can’t give any more."

"Fine, pretend I never came here today. The energy I provided you today is roughly equivalent to making you three days younger. Consider it my gift for our first meeting."

Having said that, Sean stood up, patted his buttocks, and turned to walk away.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Kannda Kouu watched Sean’s retreating steps, not knowing if Sean was genuinely leaving, or testing him.

He had been the head of his household for decades, and his authority had seeped into his bones.

To punish disobedient descendants, he didn’t hesitate to kill in order to set an example for his family.

As a result, he could not stand being rejected by others.

But now, he didn’t know if this Sean Knight was really planning to leave or just testing him?
