Papa Paladin

   Chapter 138 Sword Fighting (33)

   It is Yu Juncai, the protagonist of tonight's treasure appreciation 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 appearance is somewhat similar to Yu Wanting's, his angular face is slightly resolute, and when he smiles, there is a shallow dimple on his left cheek.

  According to appearance, such a man is usually very romantic.

  Guests, men and women, surrounded Yu Juncai. Yu Wanting smiled apologetically at Zhou Hong, then walked to her father and took the latter's arm.

   From the way she looks at Yu Juncai, it can be easily judged that this girl admires her father very much.

  Tang Wenwen followed, and secretly turned her head to say a word to Zhou Hong.

Toad wants to eat!

   Zhou Hong smiled wryly and touched his nose, then retreated to the corner consciously.

   He is not qualified to enter the circle around Yu Juncai. If he insists on getting in, he will only be despised by others.

   Lost points in front of Yu Wanting for no reason.

  As for the sword he brought, Zhou Hong placed it on the sword case.

  This sword box is exquisitely made, and it can be used as a sword stand after opening, which is very convenient.

   Trying not to look at Yu Wanting anymore, he focused on tonight's exhibits.

  Most of these exhibits were brought over by the guests, mainly antique porcelain. Even without stimulating the extraordinary ability of "Platinum Pupils", Zhou Hong could easily see that these were treasures that opened the door.

  All exhibits are placed on display tables, and behind each exhibition table stands a capable security guard.

  The people who are eligible to participate in the treasure appreciation event tonight are not ordinary people, many of them are masters in the collection circle. The objects they take out are often hundreds or even tens of millions, so security is naturally paid special attention to.

  Zhou Hong settled down and slowly appreciated these rare boutiques.

   Accompanied by his daughter, Yu Juncai socialized and socialized with the guests, talking and laughing happily, showing the demeanor of the chairman of a large group.

  At this moment, a man in a suit hurried over, and whispered a few words in Yu Juncai's ear.

  Yu Juncai frowned, 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 Director!"

  The middle-aged man who walked in the front smiled and said: "I take the liberty to disturb you, I hope you won't be offended!"

   As soon as the other party appeared, Yu Juncai immediately went up to meet him.

  He laughed and stretched out his hand: "How could it be, Mr. Liao is here, and it's too late for me to welcome you!"

  The two held each other vigorously, and Yu Juncai patted each other's arms, as enthusiastic as an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.

  But most of the guests present will not have such a misunderstanding, because the name of this unexpected guest is Liao Zhenhai, a well-known figure in the Jiangnan business circle.

  He is also Yu Juncai's biggest competitor in business, and the grievances between the two have a long history.

  Liao Zhenhai also owns a villa in Kumho Villa.

   "Yu Dong..."

  Liao Zhenhai let go of his hands and introduced the thin man beside him to Yu Juncai: "This is Mr. Sato Masahiko from the Yuanhai Group. He is visiting Director Yu tonight. I'm just trying to connect him."

   Masahiko Sato bowed and said: "Mr. Yu, my Masahiko Sato is currently the executive director of Jiangnan Branch of Yuanhai Group. Please forgive me for coming here!"

  This Dongsang native is not good-looking, but he speaks Mandarin very standard, and his speech and demeanor are very serious.

  Yu Juncai was a little surprised.

   Out of politeness, he smiled back and said, "Mr. Sato, you are too polite."

  Ocean Group is a large multinational company with a market value of hundreds of billions. Its business projects involve finance, real estate, shipping, mining, etc., and its strength is very strong.

  This large group has many branches in China. Yu Juncai has no business relationship with Yuan Hai, but he knows some things.

   There was a trace of vigilance in his heart immediately.

   Yuanhai's reputation in the business world has never been very good, and Dongsang people are the major shareholders of this group.

   Daxia people generally don't have much favor for 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 he owns many masterpieces of masters. It just so happens that I just brought a sword from Dongsang Master Hiraga Sota's latest work, I would like to invite you to taste it tonight!"

   As he spoke, he clapped his palms.

  A follower immediately came up, holding the sword box in both hands and offering it respectfully.

  Masahiko Sato opened the sword case, took out a long sword from the sheath and held it in his hand.

  The cold sword light instantly illuminated his and Yu Juncai's faces: "Please, Mr. Yu, don't hesitate to enlighten me, so that I can understand the gap in skill between Master Pinghe and Daxia Swordsmith!"

   The atmosphere in the lobby froze instantly!

  The guests present are not fools, how could they not see that Sato Masahiko came to the sword fight in the name of asking for advice?

   This is kicking the stadium on the spot!

A flash of anger flashed in Yu Juncai's eyes, and he said with a smile: "The visitor is a guest, since Mr. Sato is so sincere, then of course I can't refuse, Xiao Wu, you go to the hidden sword room and chop my sword Bring up the sword!"

"yes!"

   A man in a suit who was next to him immediately responded to the call and went to get his sword.

  Yu Juncai said: "Mr. Sato, please wait a moment."

  Masahiko Sato put away his long sword and stepped back half a step, bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yu."

  Yu Juncai smiled on the surface: "You are polite."

  He turned his head to look at Liao Zhenhai, his gaze was extremely sharp.

  Liao Zhenhai's face remained unchanged.

  The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became silent and awkward.

  Yu Wanting, who was a few steps away, looked at her father worriedly, and subconsciously clenched her fists.

  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 trace of dignity.

   This sword looks ordinary, but when it falls into his "platinum pupil", it shows an extraordinary light!

  The visitor is not kind.

  That little Wu quickly brought the Zhanjiang sword and handed it to Yu Juncai.

  Yu Juncai held the sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sato, my slashing sword is the work of swordsmith Dong Hexuan. I think I should be able to compete with Master Hiraga!"

  Dong Hexuan is one of the most famous swordsmiths in Daxia. The auction price of a master sword he personally forged starts at tens of millions. Yu Juncai owns a total of three Dong Hexuan's works.

   Zhan Jiang Sword is the highest quality among them!

  Yu Jun didn't dare to underestimate his opponent, so he brought the best collection.

  Masahiko Sato showed excitement, separated his legs slightly, and said, "Please enlighten me!"

  At this point, Yujun could no longer back down a bit, otherwise the reputation he had accumulated in half his life would be wiped out, so he drew his sword out of its sheath without hesitation.

   Clang!

   Jianming Qingyue Shengwen Hall, a touch of 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!

   Good sword!

  Everyone admired it in their hearts-it really deserves to be a masterpiece!

  The excitement in Sato Masahiko's eyes became more intense, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Mr. Yu, please enlighten me!"

  He suddenly swung his sword and slashed at Yu Juncai!

  Because it was a sword fight rather than a competition, the speed of Sato Masahiko's sword was not fast, but the sword's edge pierced through the air and sent out a breathtaking roar, and the power contained in it should not be underestimated.

   "Well done!"

  Yu Jun raised his sword and went forward without thinking.

  He is a professional swordsman with a seventh-level certificate, and his strength in swordsmanship is naturally extraordinary. In addition, he has great confidence in the master sword in his hand, so he is not afraid of confronting the opponent head-on.

  Sword fighting is also ruthless!

   Click!

  The two long swords collided violently in an instant.

   Only a crisp sound was heard, and the chopping sword in Yu Juncai's hand broke in two.

  Half of the sword turned somersault in the air, and landed on the marble floor!

  Masahiko Sato's long sword froze, and the blade was not damaged at all!

how is this possible!

  Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe their eyes.

  Zhan Jiang Sword is one of Dong Hexuan's masterpieces. This master sword was once put up for auction at an auction. Yu Juncai spent 29.8 million to buy it, and it has been hidden in the sword room as a treasure.

  If Liao Zhenhai hadn't brought Dongsang people to bully him this time, he wouldn't have taken out this sword.

   Never imagined that this slashing sword worth nearly 30 million yuan would be cut off directly, and the opponent was the sword of the Dongsang people. How embarrassing it is!

  Since the founding of the country, Daxia has always looked down on Dongsang from a high position. In the three wars with Dongsang in the past three hundred years, Daxia won all the victories, and Dongsang has always bowed his head and proclaimed himself a vassal.

  Yu Juncai is not someone who can't afford to lose, but losing to Sato Masahiko like this, he feels a great shame!

  A smug light flashed in Sato Masahiko's eyes, he put away his long sword and bowed and said, "I have accepted it."

  The three simple words seemed like three slaps on Yu Juncai's face.

  Yu Wanting's eye circles were red.

   All the guests present showed angry expressions, glaring at Masahiko Sato.

   Masahiko Sato didn't care, looked straight at Yu Juncai and asked: "Mr. Yu, do you have a better sword?"

  The muscles on Yu Juncai's face twitched, and a vein appeared on his forehead.

  The Zhanjiang sword is the best sword he owns, and if he brings other swords over, there will be no difference in the result.

  He had never heard of Hiraga Sota's name before, and he didn't expect the sword made by the other party to be so sharp!

  For tonight's humiliation, he might not be able to fight back on the spot.

  Seeing Yu Juncai's face turned livid and silent, Masahiko Sato became more proud: "It looks like..."

   "Of course!"

   Before Masahiko Sato finished speaking, he was interrupted by a loud voice!

  The crowd parted at the next moment, and Zhou Hong walked up to Yu Juncai with his head held high.

  He offered the long sword he brought with both hands, and said loudly: "Dong Yu, this is your Phantom Star Sword!"
