Chapter 360: 0359 Pretending and Patronizing

Ozawa Ichiro’s expression turned ugly, and had it not been for the fact that Ye Qiu was a stone appraisal expert, he would have immediately erupted with the anger in his heart.

Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Ozawa Ichiro’s face remained unsightly, but he managed to squeeze out a faint smile, and with an overly courteous demeanor, he said, "I think there might be some misunderstanding..."

Ye Qiu glanced indifferently at Ozawa Ichiro and repeated the same words, "Scram!"

He had no fond feelings for the people of the island nation, as they had always eyed China with covetous intentions – a small nation with grand ambitions to occupy the vast land of China. Even after hundreds of years, the ambition in the hearts of the islanders had not dissipated.

Moreover, he had just had some insight in his cultivation only to be interrupted by Ozawa Ichiro. How could Ye Qiu’s heart not be filled with anger?

The peak state of True Qi had just begun to take shape when it vanished, and the moment of enlightenment was fleeting.

Du Hao walked in, "Brother Ye, why such anger? Mr. Ozawa means no harm; he just wishes to ask for your help."

Ye Qiu looked up at Du Hao, "Mr. Du, the only reason I came here was to show respect to Li Jinglong. As for this gentleman from the island nation’s request, I’m sorry, but I’m not interested."

"Please consider it, I won’t let you work for nothing. After the deed is done, five million." Ozawa Ichiro tried to sway Ye Qiu with money, a tactic that had always worked for him. Even those from China who were hostile towards the island nation would smile and welcome him in the face of monetary gain.

However, this time, Ozawa Ichiro seemed not to see the scene he had expected.

Ye Qiu looked at him with an indifferent gaze, showing no sign of temptation.

Seeing this, Ozawa Ichiro gritted his teeth and said, "Ten million! I can’t offer more!"

The mention of this price even shocked Du Hao; it revealed just how desperate this man from the island nation was for Ye Qiu’s assistance.

Li Jinglong and the others stayed silent in the background. This matter could only be decided by Ye Qiu himself.

"Brother Ye, you see, Mr. Ozawa is quite sincere. Why not lend a hand? What’s the harm in it?" Du Hao followed up, trying to persuade him. If Ye Qiu agreed, he would also make nearly ten million out of thin air!

"I’m not interested," said Ye Qiu, his words devoid of emotion, unpersuaded.

Du Hao looked at Li Jinglong, hoping he would speak up and persuade Ye Qiu.

Li Jinglong, feeling compelled, smiled and said, "Brother Ye, why not listen to what Mr. Ozawa actually wants you to do? There’s no harm in considering it afterward!"

Ye Qiu did not immediately refute Li Jinglong, which made Du Hao think there was still a chance. Ye Qiu’s eyes shifted as he asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

"Help me find a special kind of raw stone," Ozawa Ichiro said. "As for what kind of raw stone it is, that’s confidential for now. If you agree, I will naturally tell you."

A special raw stone?

Ye Qiu’s gaze flickered as he wondered what the man from the island nation was up to.

Hmm?

"Soka, inside here is..." Suddenly, Ozawa Ichiro’s gaze landed on the jadeite behind Ye Qiu – his eyes glowed with interest.

Swift as lightning, Ye Qiu moved his hand to drape a black cloth over the jadeite, blocking Ozawa Ichiro’s view with his body.

"May I see that jade stone?" Ozawa Ichiro expressed immense interest.

"This is my personal property," Ye Qiu said flatly.

"I wonder if you would sell it to me, I will offer a high price!"

"Ten million, how does that sound?" Ozawa Ichiro’s actions once again baffled Du Hao, Li Jinglong, and others. Why was he suddenly so interested in that human-shaped jade stone?

Even the three experts were visibly perplexed; to them, it seemed like an ominous stone, yet this man from the island nation appeared to be interested in it. Could there be some hidden secret?

Not many in the room were fools; at the very least, Ozawa Ichiro’s willingness to pay a high price for the human-shaped jade stone made everyone realize that it might be a valuable piece.

"I’m not selling," declared Ye Qiu, leaving no room for negotiation. He hadn’t even fully researched the human-shaped jade stone, how could he possibly sell it to someone from the island nation?

"What a pity, such a pity!" Ozawa Ichiro seemed somewhat disappointed, shook his head, but did not become angry. Instead, he continued, "Never mind, do you agree to the previous condition then?"

Ye Qiu fell silent for a while and, under everyone’s gaze, he suddenly showed a smile, "Ten million, it’s a deal!"

Ye Qiu’s nod of agreement made Du Hao’s heart leap for joy; nine million in hand!

As for the three experts, they felt a mix of envy and jealousy—why hadn’t this man from the island nation taken an interest in them?

"I hope we will have a pleasant cooperation," Ozawa Ichiro reached out his hand. Ye Qiu gave a smile but did not shake hands with him. Ozawa Ichiro smiled awkwardly, not taking offense, and said, "I will come to pick you up tomorrow, the favor will not take too much of your time."

Ozawa Ichiro left the place with his bodyguards.

"Thanks a lot, Brother Ye, for giving me this face," Du Hao said with a smile.

Ye Qiu echoed it, although not just for the sake of Du Hao’s face had he agreed.

Because Ye Qiu had noticed Ozawa Ichiro’s uncontrollable excitement and joy when he looked at the human-shaped jade stone, and although he didn’t know why Ozawa Ichiro had that look in his eyes, based on his understanding of people from the island nation, there had to be a secret involved.

Moreover, this secret was definitely to the island nation’s advantage. Coupled with Ozawa Ichiro’s request for help in finding a special kind of raw stone, Ye Qiu boldly speculated that it might be related to the human-shaped jade stone.

He didn’t recognize this human-shaped figure, and Ozawa Ichiro’s expression had betrayed his fleeting desire to possess it. It was with the intention of uncovering the secret that Ye Qiu superficially agreed to the deal.

This man from the island nation was not simple; he seemed to be a businessman, but Ye Qiu sensed the presence of a Martial Artist, and he was definitely a deeply concealed Samurai.

Ye Qiu had agreed to cooperate with him, planning to feign compliance and secretly investigate this island nation man’s purpose for coming here. If there was any opportunity for sabotage, he wouldn’t be soft-hearted.

Soon after, everyone dispersed, leaving Ye Qiu lost in thought as he gazed at the human-shaped figure within the jade.

As Ozawa Ichiro left Du Hao’s territory, his expression suddenly changed. A moment ago, his face was full of smiles, but in the next instant, it all turned to coldness.

"If it weren’t for coveting your technique on assessing stones, why would I have come to you, you Chinese man?"

The reason Ozawa Ichiro could find Du Hao was that Du Hao had brought a batch of excellent jade, and after some inquiries, he learned that Du Hao had gone to the mine’s entrance with a few others for a transaction, and Ozawa Ichiro had found out exactly how many raw stones Du Hao had bought.

What was most surprising was that the very next day, Du Hao had sold all the newly acquired cut raw stones, and each one contained fine-quality jade. This was no stroke of luck; Ozawa Ichiro guessed there must be an expert in assessing stones with Du Hao, and that’s why he had approached him.

"If I’m not mistaken, that piece of jade contains a person, could he be the one?"

Ozawa Ichiro muttered to himself, rapidly forming plans in his mind on how to get his hands on Ye Qiu’s human-shaped jade stone. As for the ten million, he didn’t intend to pay.

"Let’s allow you to live a few more days for now. Once my plans come to fruition, I’ll send you to the top of Mount Fuji, strip off your clothes, and make you endure the agony of ice and snow day after day. Foolish Chinese man, a bit of money could sway you, and in the end, you will die due to your own greed," said Ozawa Ichiro, bursting into a cold laugh.
