Chapter 789: Chapter 473: Some people are born to be cheap!

"Okay, put the Iron Cross away first, we need to sign a contract." Sean Knight said seriously to Kannda Kouu: "This way, both of us can feel at ease."

"Alright, but I think we need to wait a bit more."

The old Japanese soldier was suspicious, fearing that Sean might have done something fishy with the Iron Cross. After all, his father had gone through great lengths to bring back more than 100 of these items from China.

Although he didn’t think their value would reach 400 million dollars, they were still a considerable treasure for the Kannda family.

He was reluctant to let them go so easily; in fact, even though he felt a little intoxicated by the energy of the Iron Cross, he couldn’t shake the feeling that it had been too easy to obtain, and he was regretting it now.

How could Sean not see the old Japanese soldier’s thoughts? He stepped forward, gently bumped the old man’s wrist, and immediately took the Iron Cross.

With the Iron Cross suddenly in Sean’s hands, the energy was cut off, and the old Japanese soldier sobered up instantly.

"If you don’t want to trade, we can just pretend nothing happened." Sean said indifferently: "Well, this matter ends here, I’m leaving."

Then, he turned to leave.

The old Japanese soldier was filled with regret. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Sean’s arm, and said with an apologetic smile:

"Mr. Knight, please don’t be angry! It was my mistake, I was overthinking. Let’s trade now, I’ll have someone prepare the contract right away..."

Sean stopped, turned his head, looked at Kannda Kouu mockingly, and asked:

"Are you really going to trade?"

"Yes, I’m really going to trade."

"No more changes?"

"No, no."

"Then I don’t agree. Raise the price, you’ll cover the freight from here to Tokyo and pay an additional 100 million yen as compensation!"

"What? You just said clearly that..." Kannda Kouu’s fake smile froze on his face.

million yen was not a crippling amount for the Kannda family, but the sudden demand for more money was hard to swallow.

"That’s fine if you don’t want to. Then our transaction is void." Sean sneered:

"Just because you had second thoughts and went back on your word once or twice, anyone else would have broken off the transaction directly! In this kind of situation, it’s both parties’ consent that matters.

I’ll be straight with you; you’re getting a bargain here. If I were to sell this, I could easily get several hundred million dollars! And now you want to take advantage of me? Hmph, no way!"

Kannda Kouu could see that Sean was genuinely insisting on raising the price. His gaze fell on the Iron Cross, and he clenched his teeth before finally nodding in agreement.

"What a fucking cheap bastard!" Sean cursed under his breath.

Kannda Kouu endured it.

Even though he cursed Sean in his heart, his face showed no sign of it. He immediately had someone prepare the contract and a truck.

The sooner the transaction was over, the sooner he could send Sean away, and once he had the Iron Cross, he would feel at ease.

As for what would happen to Sean afterwards, that was another story.

Seeing that the old Japanese soldier was behaving for now, Sean threw the Iron Cross back to him:

"Hold on to it. When I take it back again, it’ll never return to your hands!"

The old Japanese soldier held the Iron Cross, feeling the energy wash over his body once more, and sighed in satisfaction; this was the feeling!

The contract was simple, both parties voluntarily exchanged, Kannda paid Sean 100 million yen, and agreed to help Sean transport the items to Tokyo Airport without compensation.

Once the contract was signed, Kannda took the initiative to say:

"Mr. Knight, please wait for a moment. I’ll have someone prepare the money and the truck. Don’t worry, the people I find for transportation are absolutely professional, they won’t damage these cultural relics."

Sean knew that the old Japanese soldier must have ulterior motives for being so attentive - after all, he was not a trustworthy person!

But since he was offering his services, Sean would let him do it.

Kannda Kouu held the Iron Cross tightly, unwilling to let it go again.

He walked to the entrance, called out in a resounding voice:

"Son!"

Kannda’s son, Kannda Tarou, heard his father’s loud voice and thought something had happened. He rushed over, only to see his father standing tall and no longer looking like a dying man as he did before.

Tarou hesitated for a moment, then called out in surprise:

"Father?"

"Tarou, prepare 100 million yen, call the truck driver, and get ready to move these antiques."

Tarou could roughly guess what was going on.

He didn’t believe it before and thought his father would not be fooled with his "wisdom".

However, now that he saw his father full of energy, with a vigor he hadn’t seen in at least ten years, he couldn’t help but feel disheartened and lost.

After all, he was about to become the householder, but now his father had suddenly become strong, and even more robust than him in spirit.

How could he be happy?

Seeing his son’s resentful expression, Kannda Kouu knew what was going on, and said with a smile:

"Tarou, don’t be like that! You should be happy now that I’m well! I will lead our Kannda family to even greater heights!"

"But the value of those items..." Tarou actually regarded those antiques as his own, since his father would eventually pass them down to him.

Now they had to be given to someone else, how could he bear it?

But with his father alive and well, and even showing signs of further improvement, there was nothing he could do, no matter how reluctant he was.
