"Young lady, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I have to be mentally prepared."
"Stop messing with me, Uncle Aslan." Selena smiled and said, "i'm here just to have a look with a friend." He glanced at Leon at the end of the sentence. He then introduced, "Uncle Aslan, this is Mr. Leon. She ... my friend."
Uncle Aslan then looked at Leon, the smile on his face instantly fading away. He said in a flat tone, "Little sister, it seems that you are a bit unimpressed with the items in my shop, hmm?"
As a confidant of Third Master Gibson, Uncle Aslan had the confidence not to give face to anyone because it did not matter whether it was the people from the underground or the commoners, they had to get through it before talking to third Master Gibson.
At the same time, the entire antique shop fell silent. Everyone looked at Leon suddenly, seemingly curious as to where he got the courage to say such a thing.
Selena frowned. Just as she was about to defuse the awkward situation for Leon, she heard him chuckle. "I'm not a little unimpressed. I'm really not impressed. It's just a bunch of trash to me."
Everyone gasped as soon as he finished speaking. They think they heard wrong.
One must know that the Treasure Pavilion is the business of Third Master Gibson. Whatever Mr. Gibson appreciates is in the store and each one costs at least a million yuan.
No one who did not have 100 million yuan dared to enter. The threshold is very high.
However, did Leon just call them a bunch of trash?
Uncle Aslan's expression stiffened immediately. "Young man, you have to take responsibility for what you say. What do you mean when you call things in my store a bunch of trash?"
At that moment, the air shook with tension.
Many of them were shocked as they secretly thought that Lord Aslan seemed to have gone mad.
Mr. Aslan is not an irritable person. Not only did he have third Master Gibson supporting him, but he was no ordinary person either. Otherwise, he would not have managed such a huge Treasure Pavilion well.
High brow Selena curved. He did not know how to defuse the situation now. At the same time, he blames Leon for crossing the line.
Leon seemed oblivious to all this, where he remained indifferent as he said, "What I say is the truth."
Lord Aslan was so angry that he smiled. A box the size of a fist appeared in his hand. "This is the tomb robber pendant, and this is the first edition," he said after opening it and pointing to its contents.
"Legenda says that during the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao commissioned 18 tomb raiders to loot the tomb to raise military funds before attacking Dongwu. Each of them was given a grave robbing pendant.
"The grave robbers locket in my hands is one of those 18 pendants. Third master Gibson spent a lot of money to buy it from a family in Dorucana."
"Because Lord Aslan said so, it must be true. Don't forget that third Master Gibson bought this grave robbing pendant. Do you think Third Master Gibson will see anything ordinary?"
"Mr Aslan, I wonder if you will release this grave robbing pendant. I am willing to pay five million!"
Everyone's eyes sparkled. They were very happy as their eyes were fixed on the tomb raiding pendant in the hands of Lord Aslan.
Lord Aslan ignored them. Instead, he looked at Leon suddenly. He tried to see if there was a change in expression on his face. Leon has remained unchanged.
He could not help but become a little angry. He then walked up to the wooden shelf and pointed to the egg-sized white stone in the fifth row. "This is the relic of a foreign monk taken after he was found dead in a sitting position."
"The monk did not eat and drink for a month before he died. He ordered his disciples to sit at the altar and worship him in the temple. He was showered with the sound of silk day and night."
"One century has passed. As the war erupted, a military team accidentally trampled on the altar as they looted the temple. They found the monk sitting at the altar. His cheeks were flushed like he had just died."
"When someone moved the monk's body, they found a total of 108 relics at his feet, and the one in my shop was the largest."
Uncle Aslan's story that sounded like courage drew many sharp breaths. Under normal circumstances, things involving religion are taboo, especially things like relics, which would normally be required to be returned.
However, the fact that Uncle Aslan had obtained it, he dared to display it in the shop in broad daylight.
Someone nodded and said, "i've heard of this before. I think it's from India. This Indian nobleman gifted the monk with Buddha after his death. Legend has it that after the monk died in a sitting position. The relics that came out of him had the power he had when he was alive that could be used to defuse a disaster."
Leon could only shake his head. They were bragging about a stone that came from an earthly monk after his death!
He recalled the time he was in the cultivation world. There was once an Almighty Buddha who tried to enlighten him. In the end, no one knew how many people he had killed including the arhats and Buddhas.
What was contained within their bodies was a real relic that contained incredible power. However, Leon did not even bother to look at it and give it to his pet.
Uncle Aslan saw him shake his head. Uncle Aslan's expression grew colder and there was a faint killing intent appearing in his eyes. "I wonder where you gained the confidence to dare to underestimate the things I showed you."
People looked at Leon one after another unfriendly. If things were what they considered treasures, yet trash in Leon's eyes, wouldn't that mean he threw a cold blanket at them?
Selena scoffed after seeing that. 'Let's see how you'll calm the crowd now!
"Then why? Other than showing off and pretending to learn it after buying it, these things were only worldly things. Treasure, oh, treasure. Something is no longer a treasure once money is involved" Leon replied indifferently.
