This is a slightly dark room. The sunlight through the window is blocked by the gauze, and can only shine into the room to a limited extent, giving it a hazy feeling.
The interior of the room is decorated with luxurious furniture, decorations, and a crow coat of arms that highlights status. In the center of the room, there is a long table that almost spans both ends of the room. The invited scholars stand or sit around the long table.
On the other side, there were twenty or thirty people, and scholars who had finished their lunch were still entering the room one after another.
At the bottom of the long table, Senjian Kyosuke and Smith were chatting in low voices, reminiscing about the unforgettable lunch just now.
"The Karasuma family has really spent a lot of money this time. This delicious lunch uses the most precious ingredients. It's a real treat!" Qianjian touched his belly that was like a rubber ball.
"Are all those chefs working at the Karasuma family? Oh my God! How much does it cost to raise so many world-class chefs this year?" Smith was also amazed.
"I am already one of the few richest people in the world, so it is not surprising that I have such a pomp." Yuan Huaiyu walked towards the two of them holding a heavy suitcase in his left hand, and held half of the cut bag in his right hand.
lemon.
Feeling the curious looks in their eyes, he picked up his suitcase and said, "Eating man, full set of medical equipment."
"I spent more than half of my savings, and I can only buy half of this table with this money." He tapped the tabletop of the long table with his finger.
Yuan Huaiyu brought the lemon to his mouth and took a sip. His face was so sour that a chrysanthemum seemed to be blooming.
"It kills me, damn rich man."
Qianjian and Smith nodded empathetically. Although their net worths were not bad, they were still too shabby compared with the Karasuma family.
The three of them were chatting without a word, and no one had entered the room for a long time. In other words, all the invited scholars should have gathered here by now.
The sound of a wheelchair rolling on the ground came from the door, and everyone stopped talking in unison and looked in the direction of the source of the sound with solemn expressions.
The housekeeper just now pushed a wheelchair into the room. There was an old man sitting in the wheelchair. Everyone understood the identity of this person without the housekeeper introducing him.
Karasuma Renya!
But the image of Karasuma Renya in the wheelchair is very different from everyone's impression.
They thought they would see a rich man with great wealth and high spirits, but what appeared in front of everyone was an extremely old and frail old man.
Only the occasionally soul-stirring light from his slightly narrowed eyes made people shudder, realizing that no matter how old a lion was, he was still a lion, and he was the head of the Karasuma family who controlled huge amounts of wealth and power.
The butler pushed the wheelchair to the top of the long table. Under everyone's gaze, Karasuma Renya spoke.
"Welcome everyone to accept the invitation and come here. Everyone's time is precious, let's get straight to the point."
"You have also seen that I am very old, so old that I am about to die."
"I don't know when I will die, but before I go to that world, I still have a long-lasting wish that I want to fulfill."
"My mother once told me before she passed away that she left me a treasure."
"Over the years, I have searched inside and outside this Twilight Hall countless times, but I still can't find where the treasure is."
"I invite you all here this time because I want you to help me find out what this treasure is and where it is hidden in this Twilight Hall."
"For all relevant information and details about the Dusk Pavilion, you can ask my butler."
"In order to thank you for coming, everyone will receive a handsome reward. If anyone here can crack the mystery of the treasure left by my mother, in addition to the money that will never be spent in this life, you can choose any item from my collection.
treasure."
These words seemed to drop a bomb in the quietly listening crowd, causing an uproar.
"The Karasuma family's arbitrary collection! Did you hear that, Senjian!" Smith, who is also a collector, felt the blood rush to his forehead and his head was buzzing.
Ordinary people may not have much idea about the Karasuma family's collection, but Smith, who is considered a prominent figure in the collector circle, understands it all too well.
Each of them is a rare treasure of the national treasure level. If it is taken out and placed in an international auction, it will either be the grand finale or the grand prize.
This is the heritage accumulated by the Karasuma family from generation to generation. The collection room of the Karasuma family can be said to be every collector's paradise.
"Let's talk about finding the treasure first." Qianjian poured cold water on the hot-headed Smith in time.
Smith calmed down a little, and his high fighting spirit seemed to ignite a layer of fire around him: "Just for the sake of the Karasuma family's treasure, I have to find the Raushizi treasure!"
He put his hands on the shoulders of Qianjian and Yuanhuaiyu, brought the three heads together, and whispered: "You must help me, brother! I have been coveting a piece of the Karasuma family's collection for many years!"
Qianjian slapped his hand away and took a step back: "Even if you don't say so, I was invited here to do things with money. I will try my best to find the treasure, but whether I can find it is another matter. Karasuma
After searching for so many years, I still haven’t found it. No one can pat their chests and claim that they will definitely be able to do it.”
"That's right, and I'm just a medical worker. I really don't know anything about treasure hunting!" Yuan Huaiyu also said with a wry smile.
Smith rubbed his hands: "No matter what, let's work hard and give it a try. What if we get lucky?"
Qianjian sighed: "If you are so lucky, why would you need to come to Karasuma's house to make money?"
Karasuma Renye watched the enthusiasm of these scholars with cold eyes, a faint sneer on the corner of her mouth under her aquiline nose like a crow's beak.
These scholars still don’t know that the so-called treasure is just a cover. His mother has passed away for so many years, and it is no longer that important whether the treasure she left behind can be found. His real purpose is to use this time to bring many
Famous people gathered for the opportunity to complete their secret plans.
The price for completing the plan is the lives of the invitees present.
He coughed hard several times, causing everyone to stop the discussion and look over, and said calmly: "Okay, I'm a little tired, so I'm going back to rest. If you need anything, please see my housekeeper."
"Good luck to everyone."
"It's strange." Senjian Kyousuke looked at Karasuma Renye's leaving figure and frowned, "Why do I feel that Mr. Karasuma's attitude towards this treasure is a bit cold, and he doesn't have that sense of urgency."
"Who knows? Maybe he has been looking for it for so many years and hasn't found it yet, so he has given up on it." Yuan Huaiyu said softly, "Maybe it's just a try to find these people. He himself has no hope.
Already."
Qianjian and Smith looked at this "Doctor from Qingshan" and felt that there was something in his words and his meaning was unpredictable.
