The Feng Shui Treasure Appraiser

468: Chapter 468 Extreme StrengthHan Jingyang’s words, paired with his expression of disdain, could be described as nothing but utterly contemptuous.

It was the kind that didn’t hide anything at all.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the expressions of the few Japanese invaders changed, and they looked like they wanted to draw their blades.

Eagle-Nose discreetly made a gesture and then smiled, saying, ”Your combat strength is so formidable that ordinary people are naturally no match for you. Let alone just one Kato Shiyong, even ten wouldn’t be your match. This is perfectly normal; after all, you are the famous Mr. Han, a being who can shock ghosts and gods with a single sword strike.”

”Heh, it’s just that the Japanese invaders are too weak, including that so-called Tsukuyomi Great God—they don’t even have the qualifications to make me draw my sword,” Han Jingyang said with an amused expression. ”Before Kato Shiyong died, I told him that the islanders were just a bunch of vermin who only knew how to steal things. He wasn’t convinced, hahaha. I told him that sooner or later, I would take a trip to the island nation, challenge their Nine Chrysanthemum Sect, the Abe clan, and all their major temples and shrines one by one, and then capture their Amaterasu Great God to be my slave. He still wasn’t convinced.”

A flash of anger crossed Eagle-Nose’s eyes, but he laughed and said, ”The Japanese invaders are treacherous; such petty thoughts are like ants trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot—not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning.”

Han Jingyang laughed heartily. ”You think so too? Indeed, great minds think alike. The Japanese invaders are just a bunch of vermin that can be wiped out at will.”

Eagle-Nose nodded with a laugh as well, then stopped pursuing that topic. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, ”Mr. Han, thank you for your righteous assistance. If it weren’t for you, we might not have been able to catch these Japanese invaders.”

”You’re too kind, it was my duty. Killing the Japanese invaders is a shared responsibility.”

”Indeed, but everyone has their own duties. You have no official position and are enviably free and easy, while we must fulfill our responsibilities.” Eagle-Nose waved his hand as he said this. ”Seal off the scene, secure the evidence. Don’t leave behind a single blade of grass or tree; take everything back to the unit for careful examination.”

The other Japanese invaders moved at his command, sealing off the scene in a professional manner.

Eagle-Nose nodded with satisfaction, then smiled at Han Jingyang. ”Mr. Han, I am truly sorry. I am on duty and have offended you; please forgive me. Let’s go outside the courtyard to talk.”

Han Jingyang smiled.

This Japanese invader had some self-awareness; he knew who could be offended and who couldn’t. He didn’t intend to kill him, just wanted to send him away.

He was a bit smarter than Kato Shiyong.

If he hadn’t been keeping his ”Qi Observation” attribute active all the time, he might have really been deceived and led away.

But now, he wanted to see what other tricks the Japanese invaders had up their sleeves.

Thinking this, he waved his hand. ”Sure, but please help me move my spoils of war out and load them onto the vehicle. I need to take them all back.”

Eagle-Nose was stunned. ”Spoils of war?”

Han Jingyang retorted, ”Is there a problem?”

Eagle-Nose shook his head. ”No, no, no. This is evidence, physical evidence. According to relevant regulations, only we have the right to dispose of it. No individual or unit may misappropriate, possess, or dispose of it without authorization. Mr. Han, I am truly sorry, but you cannot take a single piece of these things.”

Han Jingyang’s expression gradually faded. ”And if I insist on taking them?”

”Then I am sorry, we will certainly stop your illegal behavior, even if... it means dying in the line of duty!”

”Is that so?”

”So, Mr. Han, do you insist on making an enemy of our Shaanxi Province Bureau of Religious Affairs? You must consider the nature of this behavior clearly. Once you make a move, it will no longer be a simple dispute over spoils of war, but a crime, or even... treason!”

”If possible, I certainly don’t want to fight, but I also have my rules. Only I can dispose of my spoils of war. Whoever touches my spoils of war is my enemy. Are you sure you want to become my enemy?”

”In order to uphold the dignity of law enforcement and the interests of the country, I have no regrets even if I die!” Eagle-Nose stepped back two paces with a serious expression, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. ”Mr. Han, are you sure you want to stand on the opposite side of us?”

The smile on Han Jingyang’s face completely disappeared. ”So what? The few of you aren’t even enough for my girlfriend to kill alone. I could kill all of you, then frame the Japanese invaders for it, and no one would be any the wiser. What could you do to me?”

”You, you must not act recklessly!”

”If you don’t want me to act recklessly, then how about we talk properly?”

”Let’s talk. Peace is precious.”

Han Jingyang nodded with satisfaction. ”Then let’s talk about the spoils of war. I want to take my spoils of war. Do you have any objections?”

Eagle-Nose gritted his teeth. ”Half!”

”All of it!”

”Eighty percent!”

”All of it, no room for negotiation!”

”This, if we go back like this, we won’t be able to explain...”

”I don’t care. I will definitely take all my spoils of war. If it’s not mine, I won’t even look at it; if it is mine, not a single piece can be missing!”

”This...”

”What? Do you have an objection?”

Eagle-Nose sighed and shouted loudly, ”Alright, men, help Mr. Han load the car, and escort Mr. Han out of our jurisdiction. We cannot afford to provoke such an existence, but we must report his actions today to other brother units so they can be on high alert...”

Han Jingyang stood on the side with a smile, like a victor, letting this group of Japanese invaders move things and load the car for him.

Watching the Japanese invaders, full of stifled frustration yet forced to suppress their anger while working for him, he felt incredibly satisfied.

Let you Japanese invaders pretend.

Let’s see how long you can keep up the act.

You can’t even speak the language properly and you dare to impersonate locals.

Go back to working obediently.

Stupid and cowardly Japanese invaders!

The previous wave at least dared to fight for their lives even when they knew they were going to die.

This wave, however, only wanted to play tricks.

Let you Japanese invaders taste the consequences of trying to be clever and failing.

After the Japanese invaders helped him load the dharma instruments one by one onto the car, he cupped his hands at Eagle-Nose. ”Brother, thanks a lot.”

Eagle-Nose forced a smile and cupped his hands. ”You’re welcome, Mr. Han. It’s getting late; you should leave here as soon as possible to avoid any misunderstandings.”

Han Jingyang was still grinning. ”No worries, no worries. As long as it’s a misunderstanding, it can definitely be cleared up.”

”It’s better not to create extra trouble. You’ve loaded a whole car full of treasures; it wouldn’t be good if there were any bumps or accidents.”

”That is true,” Han Jingyang nodded. ”But I still have to thank you, brother.”

As he said this, he opened his arms and walked toward Eagle-Nose. ”Next time I go to Quancheng, I’ll treat you to a big meal to express my apologies.”

Eagle-Nose took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes slightly, and watched Han Jingyang walking over. A cold glint flashed in his narrowed eyes. While quietly making a gesture behind his back, he reached for the dagger on his thigh, unhooking the fastener on the dagger sheath without leaving a trace, and then greeted Han Jingyang with a laugh.

The distance grew smaller and smaller.

Until they were face to face.

The two men kept looking into each other’s eyes, not even blinking once.

Both of their faces wore enthusiastic smiles, like two good friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years.

Eagle-Nose’s subordinates were busy in the courtyard, looking around here and there, wearing white gloves to take photos and inspect the deceased, pretending to be ”Bureau of Religious Affairs agents” quite professionally.

Liu Jing stood guard next to the car filled with dharma instruments, vigilantly watching the ”Bureau of Religious Affairs agents” in the courtyard.

Han Jingyang and Eagle-Nose embraced.

They patted each other on the back.

The next second.

Eagle-Nose pulled out the dagger from his thigh and violently stabbed toward Han Jingyang’s heart.
