It is Yu Juncai, the protagonist of tonight's treasure hunt party, who welcomes the guests.
Yu Juncai lives up to his name. Although he is nearly fifty years old, he looks less than forty. His figure is slender and graceful, without any trace of middle-aged greasiness. He exudes the temperament of a successful man inside and out.
His appearance is somewhat similar to Yu Wanting's. His angular face is slightly resolute. When he smiles, a shallow dimple appears on his left cheek.
According to their appearance, such men are usually very romantic.
Guests of both sexes gathered around Yu Juncai. Yu Wanting smiled apologetically at Zhou Hong, then walked to her father and took the latter's arm.
It can be easily judged from the way she looks at Yu Juncai that this girl admires her father very much.
Tang Wenwen followed and turned back secretly to say something to Zhou Hong silently.
Toad wants to eat!
Zhou Hong smiled bitterly, touched his nose, and retreated to the corner consciously.
He is not qualified to enter the circle around Yu Juncai. If he insists on joining, he will only be despised by others.
Losing points in front of Yu Wanting for nothing.
As for the sword he brought, Zhou Hong placed it on the sword box.
This sword box is exquisitely crafted and can be used as a sword stand after opening, which is very convenient.
Trying not to look at Yu Wanting again, he focused on tonight's exhibits.
Most of these exhibits were brought over by guests, mainly antique porcelain. Even without activating the extraordinary power of "Platinum Eyes", Zhou Hong could easily see that these were treasures that opened the door.
All the exhibits are placed on display tables, and behind each exhibition table stands a capable security guard.
Those who are qualified to participate in the treasure appreciation party tonight are not ordinary people. Many of them are big names in the collecting circle. The objects they take out often cost hundreds or even tens of millions, so they naturally pay special attention to security.
Zhou Hong calmed down and slowly appreciated these rare masterpieces.
Accompanied by his daughter, Yu Juncai socialized and laughed with the guests, showing his demeanor as the chairman of a large group.
At this moment, a man in a suit hurried over and whispered a few words into Yu Juncai's ear.
Yu Juncai frowned and then nodded.
The man in the suit quickly left the hall.
After about two minutes, a group of people appeared in front of the main hall.
"Jade Dong!"
The middle-aged man walking at the front smiled and said: "I take the liberty of coming to disturb you, I hope you won't be offended!"
As soon as the other party appeared, Yu Juncai immediately greeted him.
He laughed and stretched out his hand: "How could it be? Mr. Liao is here, and I can't even welcome him in time!"
The two of them held each other hard, and Yu Juncai patted each other's arm, as enthusiastically as if they were old friends they hadn't seen for many years.
But most of the guests present would not have such a misunderstanding, because the name of this uninvited guest was Liao Zhenhai, a well-known figure in the Jiangnan business community.
He is also Yu Juncai's biggest business rival, and the feud between the two has been going on for a long time.
Liao Zhenhai also owns a villa in Jinhu Villa.
"Jade Dong..."
Liao Zhenhai let go of his hand and introduced the lean man next to him to Yu Juncai: "This is Mr. Sato Masahiko from the Yuanhai Group. He is visiting Director Yu tonight. I am just a connection."
Masahiko Sato bowed and said: "Hello, Mr. Jade, I am Masahiko Sato, currently the executive director of Jiangnan Branch of Yuanhai Group. I take the liberty of coming here. Please forgive me!"
This man from Dongsang is not very handsome in appearance, but he speaks Mandarin very well, and his words and deeds are very serious.
Yu Juncai was a little surprised.
Out of politeness, he smiled and said back: "Mr. Sato, you are too polite."
Yuanhai Group is a large multinational company with a market value of 100 billion. It operates projects involving finance, real estate, shipping, mining, etc. It is very powerful.
This large group has many branches in China. Yu Juncai has no business dealings with Yuanhai, but he does know some things.
He immediately felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.
Yuanhai's reputation in the business world has never been very good, and Dongsang people are the majority shareholders of this group.
Daxia people generally don't have much favorable impression of Dongsang people.
Sato Masahiko straightened up, with a sharp light in his eyes, and said: "I heard that Mr. Yu is a top sword collector in Daxia and owns many masterpieces by masters. It just so happened that I just brought one from Dongsang
Master Hiraga Sota’s latest work, I would like to invite you to taste it tonight!”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands.
An attendant immediately came up, holding the sword box in both hands and offering it respectfully.
Sato Masahiko opened the sword box, took out an unsheathed long sword and held it in his hand.
The cold sword light instantly illuminated his and Yu Juncai's faces: "Please give me some advice, Mr. Yu, so that I can understand the skill gap between Master Pinghe and Master Daxia Swordsmith!"
The atmosphere in the hall solidified instantly!
The guests present were not fools, so how could they not see that Sato Masahiko was fighting swords in the name of asking for advice?
This is a match on the spot!
A flash of anger suddenly flashed in Yu Juncai's eyes, and he smiled: "The visitor is a guest. Since Mr. Sato is so sincere, of course I can't refuse. Xiao Wu, you go to the sword hiding room and kill my sword."
Bring up the sword!"
"yes!"
A man in a suit following him immediately responded and went to get his sword.
Yu Juncai said: "Mr. Sato, please wait a moment."
Sato Masahiko put away his sword and took half a step back, bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jade."
Yu Juncai smiled but said: "You're welcome."
He turned to look at Liao Zhenhai, his eyes particularly sharp.
Liao Zhenhai's expression did not change.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became silent and awkward.
A few steps away, Yu Wanting looked at her father with some worry and clenched her fists subconsciously.
Tang Wenwen quietly held her hand to express comfort.
At this moment, Zhou Hong, who was still at the corner, stared at the long sword in Sato Masahiko's hand, showing a dignified expression.
This sword looks ordinary, but when it falls into his "platinum eyes", it shows an extraordinary light!
The person who comes here is not kind.
That Xiao Wu quickly brought the sword and handed it into Yu Juncai's hand.
Yu Juncai held the sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sato, my slayer sword is the work of master swordsmith Dong Hexuan. I think it should be able to give it a try with Master Hiraga!"
Dong Hexuan is one of the most famous sword-smithing masters in Daxia. The auction price of a master sword forged by him starts at tens of millions. Yu Juncai owns a total of three Dong Hexuan's works.
The General Sword is the highest quality among them!
Yu Juncai did not dare to underestimate his opponent, so he brought the best collection.
Masahiko Sato showed excitement, spread his legs slightly, and said, "Please enlighten me!"
At this point, Yu Juncai could no longer retreat even a little bit, otherwise the reputation he had accumulated in half his life would be lost, so he unsheathed his sword without hesitation.
Clang!
The sound of the sword echoed across the hall, and a bright autumn light instantly caught everyone's eyes.
The surrounding guests retreated involuntarily, as if they were afraid of being stabbed by the dazzling sword light!
What a sword!
Everyone admired it in their hearts - it really deserves to be a masterpiece!
The excitement in Sato Masahiko's eyes became even stronger, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Mr. Jade, please enlighten me!"
He suddenly swung his sword and struck at Yu Juncai!
Since it was a sword fight rather than a competition, the speed of Sato Masahiko's sword was not very fast, but the sword edge pierced the air and emitted a breathtaking roar, and the power contained in it should not be underestimated.
"Well done!"
Yu Juncai raised his sword and faced him without thinking.
He is a professional swordsman with a seventh-level certificate, and his swordsmanship is extraordinary. In addition, he is extremely confident in the master sword in his hand, so he is not afraid of confronting the opponent head-on.
Sword fighting is also a fierce fight!
Click!
The two long swords collided violently in an instant.
There was only a crisp sound, and the sword in Yu Juncai's hand was broken into two pieces.
Half of the sword somersaulted in the air and landed on the marble floor!
Sato Masahiko's long sword was frozen, and the blade was not damaged at all!
How can it be!!
Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe their eyes.
The Master Sword is one of Dong Hexuan's masterpieces. This master sword was once put up for auction. Yu Juncai spent 29.8 million to buy it, and has always kept it hidden in the sword room as a treasure.
If Liao Zhenhai hadn't brought the Dongsang people to bully him this time, he wouldn't have taken out the sword.
I never expected that this general-killing sword worth nearly 30 million yuan would be cut off directly, and the opponent was a Dongsang sword. It was really embarrassing!
Since the founding of the country, Daxia has always looked down on Dongsang from a high position. In the three wars it had with Dongsang in the past three hundred years, Daxia won all of them, and always made Dongsang surrender.
Yu Juncai is not a person who cannot afford to lose, but he felt a great shame when he lost to Sato Masahiko like this!
A glimmer of pride flashed in Sato Masahiko's eyes, he put away his sword and bowed, saying, "I accept it."
These three simple words seemed like three slaps on Yu Juncai's face.
Yu Wanting's eyes were red.
The guests present could not help but show angry expressions, and glared at Masahiko Sato.
Sato Masahiko didn't care, looked directly at Yu Juncai and asked: "Mr. Yu, do you have a better sword?"
The muscles on Yu Juncai's face twitched, and a blue vein appeared on his forehead.
The General Sword is the best sword he has. If he uses other swords, the result will not be any different.
He had never heard of Hiraga Sota's name before, but he didn't expect that the sword made by him was so sharp!
After tonight's humiliation, he might not be able to fight back on the spot.
Seeing Yu Juncai's face turned pale and silent, Sato Masahiko became even more proud: "That looks like..."
"Of course!"
Before Sato Masahiko finished speaking, he was interrupted by a loud voice!
The next moment the crowd parted, and Zhou Hong was seen walking in front of Yu Juncai with his head held high.
He presented the long sword he had brought with both hands and said loudly: "Yu Dong, this is your Magic Star Sword!"
