Chapter 1634: 100 Million, Buy a Hot Potato!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The ones talking were a middle-aged man with a big beard and tattered clothes, who looked a little disheveled, and a scar-faced man with a cunning look in his eyes.
The bearded middle-aged man was dissatisfied with Scarface’s price. “Even if you are taking a huge risk, you shouldn’t offer just 10 million.”
“This is too greedy.”
“If you can’t raise the price, we’ll find someone else.”
Scarface, on the other hand, was confident of victory. He sneered and said, “Don’t tease me, brother.”
“You should know more about the situation outside than I do, right?”
“Everyone in the Alliance of the Anti-Rich is now a big target in the eyes of the major families of the Empire of the Never Setting Sun, the Funeral Organization, and the gold diggers from all over the world, alright?”
“At this time, it’s already good enough that you can protect yourself for a while. Where would you find the time to find someone to collect your things?”
As he said that, he probably felt that his words were a little explicit.
After the bearded middle-aged man’s expression turned ugly, he suddenly changed the topic. “Besides, almost the entire collectibles market and smuggling market are now being watched by a few big families, the Funeral Organization, and gold diggers from all over the world.”
“Now, other than us who are not afraid of death and dare to accept your things privately, how many smugglers dare to do this?”
“Ten million is not low, brother.”
“If the news of me buying your ‘Dream’ is known by the Funeral Organization and gold diggers all over the world, I’ll be famous and die!”
“I’m also risking my life to do this business!”
“…”
When the bearded middle-aged man heard this, he immediately felt a little hurt.
Their team had been hiding everywhere like rats in the sewers during this time.
But even so, there were still quite a few brothers who died.
Now, only he and his two companions were left in the entire team.
Although the stolen product in his hands was priceless, it was a hot potato.
If he sold it now and spread the news appropriately, he might be able to divert the trouble and take the opportunity to escape…
“I also know your difficulties.” He immediately softened his tone. “But 10 million is indeed too low.”
“How about this? I won’t waste my breath with you.”
“Everyone, let’s meet halfway. Thirty million.”
“How about this price?”
Scarface heard this and hesitated.
However, at this moment, a Chinese man walked over from the alley. “I bid 100 million.”
Scarface was stunned.
The bearded middle-aged man seemed to be very surprised and quickly turned his head to look at the person who came.
When he realized that the person who came was Chinese, his expression softened a little. “Which faction are you from?”
“Let’s make this clear first. If you’re from the Four Great Families or the Funeral Organization, we won’t sell it to you no matter how high your offer is!”
“These forces will forever be enemies with our brothers in the Alliance of the Anti-Rich!”
The person who came was naturally Ye Feng.
He had already observed the surroundings and found no other potential danger.
Although the bearded middle-aged man seemed to have some strength, he was at most at the level of a retired soldier. He was completely insufficient.
Therefore, when he heard him haggling with Scarface, he immediately came out to stop the sale.
When he heard the bearded middle-aged man’s declaration, he didn’t say much. He just smiled. “What a coincidence. I don’t belong to any of these forces.”
“I’m just an antique merchant who happened to come to the Sun Never Sets Empire.”
“Even though I’ll be targeted by the four families or the Funeral Organization if I get this painting of ‘Dream’ by Picasso, I’m not afraid of them.”
The bearded middle-aged man was obviously tempted when he heard this.
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he quickly asked, “Do you have 100 million?”
“We want to receive the money now.”
“We don’t accept any form of credit or payment in installments.”
Ye Feng had already scanned it with his depth navigation.
What the bearded middle-aged man was carrying was none other than the 10th most valuable piece of work from the Jerry Burrows family, the work of Picasso, “Dream.” It was worth 520 million.
Even if he paid 100 million to buy it, it would be a business that would earn more than 400 million!
Seeing the bearded middle-aged man’s reaction, he didn’t say anything else. Ye Feng immediately took out his phone and said, “Give me your bank account number. I can transfer the money now.”
The bearded middle-aged man felt much more at ease when he heard that. He immediately used his phone to send a message.
Then, he showed Ye Feng the bank account number that the other party had given him. “Transfer it to this account.”
Ye Feng did as he was told, he transferred 100 million yuan over and bought the genuine “Dream.”
Soon, the bearded middle-aged man’s phone vibrated.
It should be his companion who sent a message. “One hundred million has been received.”
When the bearded middle-aged man saw this, his eyes flashed with excitement. He passed the painting to Ye Feng without saying anything.
“This thing is yours.”
“Never see you again!”
After saying that, as if he was afraid of getting involved with this thing again, he quickly put on his hoodie and lowered his head as he scurried into the surrounding alley.
Ye Feng did not stop him, after receiving the item, he opened it and took a look.
However, Scarface sneered. “What a fool!”
“I’m afraid you’ve bought yourself a huge hot potato with this 100 million yuan!”
“You actually have the leisure to admire the painting here!”
Ye Feng then looked at him. “How is it a hot potato?”
“That’s why I’d call you an idiot.” Scarface sneered again. “You’re probably one of those rich and stupid second-generation heirs from China, aren’t you?”
“You’re as naive and stupid as a child.”
“Have you never brushed your teeth before?” Ye Feng’s eyes turned cold.
Scarface heard this and seemed to sense danger. He immediately shrank his neck. “In short, you’re in big trouble.”
“Those people from the Alliance of the Anti-Rich are not good people.”
“If I’m not wrong, when they sold this to you, they must have already sold you out. They spread the news that you have ‘Dream’ and even your location and name!”
“By now, there should be many people who have heard the news and are rushing here as fast as they can, or are asking around for news about you.”
“If you don’t hurry up and think about how to deal with it now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to easily walk out of this slum later!”
“…”
As if to confirm his words, the sound of hurried footsteps and shouts could be heard from other alleys. “Hurry up!”
“The ‘Dream’ by Picasso is here nearby!”
