As A Trash Collector, I Collected A Imperial Jade Seal

To clear the air about the gold misunderstanding?

They were making unwarranted assumptions.

Luo Feng was merely utilizing these as pretenses.

His journey to Japan was for a distinct purpose.

“Mr. Luo, thirty artifacts are already a significant number!” Yamamoto began.

Nation, not just yours. I can extend the same offer to them! On a global scale, there are plenty who would be eager to trade artifacts for these two swords. Your museum is not my sole option!”

“So that’s his game plan!”

Yamamoto, initially puzzled, now understood.

Luo Feng’s decision to bring the two swords to Sakura Nation was clearly for trading artifacts, aiming to offset the gold issue and mitigate the hostility from the Sakura Nation officials.

But now, he had other plans.

He intended to negotiate with other museums.

After all, if he made trades with their museums, it would do a favor to Sakura Nation’s officials as it involved their establishments.

Therefore, Luo Feng would owe them a favor, placating Sakura Nation in the process.

So all along, they had refrained from mentioning it as they were still in talks with other museums.

“Mr. Luo, how many artifacts do you seek?”

“I’ve told you already, no less than 100, and I will select them personally!” Luo Feng responded assertively.

The other party was rendered speechless once again.

They dithered considerably.

Their bottom line was indeed only 40 pieces.

They were left wondering whether Luo Feng was making an exorbitant demand or he genuinely didn’t care.

Thirty minutes later, they still hadn’t come to an agreement. As they exited the tea house, Long Jianfei commented, “Little Luo, isn’t 100 a bit excessive? I don’t believe they’ll agree!”

Though Long Jianfei would prefer trading for five hundred or even a thousand pieces, the other party’s consent was still crucial.

“Hehe, no, no, these two swords are the crown jewels of their national treasures. Retaining them is a liability for them! If they’re willing to trade, then we’ll trade. If not, then so be it. I won’t force anyone!”

Luo Feng chuckled.

“Did you journey here to trade artifacts? Wasn’t it due to the gold incident that upset the Sakura Nation officials, prompting you to come trade and smoothen relations?”

“Absolutely not!”

“So we genuinely came here for the exhibition!”

Luo Feng grinned, then said, “Let’s go, let’s enjoy some food and shopping. Tomorrow, we should visit the Nezu Art Museum!”

The sooner they toured these museums, the sooner they could depart. He was eager to visit Nara.

As for the Nezu Art Museum, it was a smaller institution with more than 7 ,ooo artifacts, a few hundred of which were of Chinese origin.

“Hehe, visiting the Nezu Art Museum, are they?”

“Are they implying that their trading partners aren’t confined to our museum?

Upon learning about Luo Feng’s itinerary, Yamamoto’s brow furrowed. He was quite perturbed.

“Hehe, as long as they remain interested in trading, our museum will undoubtedly be their top choice. After all, other museums lack remarkable pieces!”

The other members exuded confidence.

If one wanted to trade for desirable artifacts, the Tokyo Museum was the only feasible option.

In no time, Luo Feng had toured numerous museums.

All under the guise of attending exhibitions.

But on the fifth day, after dinner, Long Jianfei received a call during the meal.

“Little Luo, the Lord of Hiroshima wishes to meet you!”

“What? The Lord of Hiroshima?” Luo Feng inhaled sharply.

Although this person’s status back in China was marginal, The Thirteenth Master had once said:

“What sort of magistrate, even the turtle in the Yongding River holds a higher rank than you.”

However, in the small Sakura Nation, a city lord wielded significant power.

“What does he want to see me for?”

Luo Feng queried.

“I’m not sure. He didn’t elaborate over the phone, only extended an invitation for tonight and asked me to inform you!” “Invite me over? No, let him come to me!” Luo Feng replied nonchalantly.

He then retreated to his room.

The lovely Li Shishi was waiting for him.

As for Kawashima Miyuki, Luo Feng still harbored doubts about her, so naturally, he avoided any engagement with her.

She was also under scrutiny.

If what she had confided in him were true.

Then this woman, he would certainly pursue.

For she was undeniably beautiful.

As for her kindness, it seemed commendable for the moment, especially as she appeared to care for China.

The premise being, all she had spoken was indeed true..
