Chapter 607: Take away everything from 0608! (Second update)
"No, no, Mr. Ye, you misunderstand; this is just a small token of our regard. If you don’t like it, we’ll take it away now!" Edit hurriedly said, fearing that he might provoke Ye Qiu.
With a wave of Edit’s hand, the servant took away the tray of money.
Ye Qiu had no interest in money, leaving Edit somewhat at a loss for what to do. He now just wanted to send this menacing deity, Ye Qiu, away; as long as Ye Qiu stayed, Edit couldn’t get a good night’s sleep.
"Father, Mr. Ye is a Martial Artist from Huaxia. Maybe we can give a few ancient Huaxia books to Mr. Ye," suggested Chai Shishi.
Edit’s eyes twinkled, and he immediately clapped in approval, "Good!" He then commanded, "Go and fetch all the ancient books immediately."
"Sir, there are quite a few ancient books; it would take more than a moment to fetch them all!" a servant complained.
Ye Qiu’s gaze flickered as he said, "Just lead the way, and I will have a look myself."
"Yes, yes, yes, there are too many books. I’ll lead the way for Mr. Ye," said Edit, moving ahead, with Bai Xiong and Ye Qiu following. The two ambled along leisurely; although Edit was quick, he had to stop every now and then to wait for them.
Before long, the group reached a study.
The room was large, with book-filled shelves lining all four walls. Following Edit’s direction, Ye Qiu and Bai Xiong looked toward the side wall.
"All the books on this wall are ancient Huaxia books. Mr. Ye, if you’re interested, you can take them all!" Edit said with a smile.
Ye Qiu casually picked up one book that was suffused with the scent of history; it was an ancient tome from the Tang dynasty. It hadn’t been preserved particularly well here, showing signs of decay and having dozens of pages gnawed away by insects.
In Huaxia’s past, there was a humiliating history when strong nations from around the world invaded Huaxia and took away many treasures that contained the essence of Huaxia’s civilization.
Without paying much attention to these ancient books, Ye Qiu stated directly, "Your family surely has more than these items that belong to our Huaxia."
"That... Mr. Ye must be joking; these ancient books all belonged to our ancestors..." Edit began to explain.
Seeing that Edit was continuing to justify himself, Ye Qiu’s gaze turned frosty, causing Edit to suddenly change his tune, "Yes, yes, yes, I’ll take you to see them."
Helplessly, Edit had to order someone to open the underground chamber.
Upon entering the underground chamber, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but be stunned by the sight before him; cultural relics of Huaxia were presented in all their variety.
Each item here, if taken to an international auction, could sell for an astronomical price. And the underground chamber contained far more than a hundred or a thousand pieces; there were actually tens of thousands of Huaxia’s treasures.
"I want all of these; no objections, right?" Ye Qiu said without looking back.
Edit fell silent. Grinding his teeth and watching Ye Qiu’s back, Edit thought of him as a vampire, about to take away the treasures left by his ancestors. Even though these items made no sense to him, he knew that any one of them, placed on the market, would attract numerous wealthy Huaxia magnates competing to buy.
"Mr. Ye, you can take ten or eight items, but everything...," Edit couldn’t agree to it outright.
Ye Qiu slowly turned his head, looking at Edit, "Do you know how I arrived at this point today?"
"It is over the skeletons, countless people who died by my hand. I don’t want to kill people, but numerous others have wanted to kill me, even forcing me to kill them."
"Surely the Kondrashyov family wouldn’t be so foolish as to force me to take action, right?"
Edit shivered; the threat in Ye Qiu’s words was unmistakable. He knew that if he didn’t agree to Ye Qiu’s terms, even if Ye Qiu didn’t act today, he would certainly kill all members of the Kondrashyov family in secret.
But the treasures in this entire underground vault are worth hundreds of millions, even tens of billions, Bai billion!
Edit’s heart was bleeding as he almost gnashed his teeth and said, "If Mr. Ye desires them, then let all be gifted to Mr. Ye!"
For the safety of all the family members, and for his own life, Edit chose to compromise.
Without these Chinese treasures, the wealth of the Kondraki family will be directly cut in half!
Ye Qiu patted Edit’s shoulder and smiled, "Our family’s grudges are now erased, thank you for your gift."
"Alright, now I would like to see what our Chinese ancestors left behind."
Ye Qiu issued an eviction order.
"Oh, and contact a cruise ship for me, these items won’t be easy to ship back home."
Ye Qiu’s words almost made Edit spit blood, for not only had he taken his treasures, but he was also making him facilitate their transport.
"I wish for the shipment of these treasures to China to be kept secret, for you know the consequences of attracting further covetous eyes, and I will hold your family responsible for all of them!"
Edit left with a mix of hatred and anger, but he didn’t dare show any dissatisfaction throughout.
Once back in his room, Edit violently swept all the objects on the table to the floor. Ye Qiu’s outrageous demands infuriated him, yet he was powerless. The man was like a sharp knife that could come down on him at any moment should he display any discontent.
Edit dared not gamble with his own life, for although money is very important, life is even more so.
"Family Head Edit, anger is detrimental to your health. I do not wish to see any health issues arise in you before these Chinese treasures are safely transported back to China."
Suddenly, the voice of Ye Qiu reached Edit’s ears, making his eyes widen in shock. There was no sign of Ye Qiu in the room, but his voice was right by his ear. How could Edit not be frightened? Did this mean that Ye Qiu was witnessing his every move?
If just moments ago he harbored thoughts of killing Ye Qiu, this greedy fellow, now, he dared not entertain such thoughts any longer.
Only at this moment did he truly sense the terror of Ye Qiu. Silently, all his actions were under Ye Qiu’s watch, such an enemy was too frightening.
No, he was a devil!
Edit was shocked by Ye Qiu’s methods and dared not play any tricks, for who knew if Ye Qiu could read his thoughts and know his every idea at any moment.
The mere thought made Edit shudder, and Ye Qiu’s figure loomed larger in his mind; to be an enemy of such a person was to face only ruin.
In Ye Qiu’s eyes fell the fearful countenance of Edit. Edit had imagined Ye Qiu to be too terrifying, for Ye Qiu was not nearly as formidable as he thought.
Ye Qiu had simply used his x-ray vision to watch Edit’s movements and then employed the power of Black Flame to transmit his voice and warn Edit, instilling great fear in him.
In fact, most Martial Artists at the legendary level could do what Ye Qiu just did. As long as they were within the range of perception of the legendary level, no person’s actions could escape their notice, let alone when Ye Qiu was a mere hundred meters from Edit. Doing these things was naturally effortless.
Ye Qiu had merely shown the tip of the iceberg when it came to the use of legendary-level powers.
However, it was enough to discourage Edit from having any further ideas and deter him from becoming an enemy; that was sufficient!
"If the old lecher knew that I was shipping back so many of China’s lost treasures from overseas, he’d probably jump for joy!" A smile appeared on Ye Qiu’s face.
