Chapter 9 Filled with Regret

"If you need assistance within my ability, I will spare no effort." It took Liu Gang one hundred and fifty thousand to buy the Buddha statue. Liu Gang was full of satisfaction. After all, the profit of selling the statue would be around ten thousand. Though he was a manager and a valuator here, the share could be handsome.

Wang Ke smiled, and he said, "The old saying goes that common fame is seldom to blame. I came here twice in one day to sell magic weapons. If anyone else knows that, it will have a bad effect on both me and our corporation. In a word, I want you to keep the secret for me."

Liu Gang listened to him. And he thought higher of the young man.

He did not pursue fame but wealth.

He was awesome!

"No worry. What happened today will only be known by you and me." Liu Gang laughed.

The two men did not expect what was happening on the first floor of Shangbao Pavilion.

In the last two hours, Wang Ke had walked in many shops again and again. At one time, Li Daquan saw him accidentally. So he followed him to check what he was doing.

"Buddy, can I ask you something? What is the young man doing here?" Li Daquan saw that the guy who led Wang Ke to the second floor came downstairs, but Wang Ke did not. So he asked him,

There were four servers in Shangbao Pavilion. They were usually aggressive against each other. They all wanted to be admired by their manager. So when Li Daquan raised the question, that clerk glared complacently at the other three servers and he said, "What else can he do? He is the god of wealth of our shop. He's here to sell a magic weapon. And I can tell you that he's been here twice in one day. Even me have got the reflected glory."

Selling magic weapons?

Li Daquan looked at the clerk dully. He could not hear any other words. He seemed to lose his mind, and he said, "So was my statue a magic weapon? Was it?"

He only cared about money. He couldn't believe that he exchanged that Buddha statue for a hundred only.

He did not know how he walked outside. Because when he left, he was still murmuring about his copper Buddha statue.

He was deeply penitential in his mind.

The location of Shangbao Pavilion was the best in the street. So there were so many people passing by.

Many people were curious about how Li Daquan looked like and what he said. So they poured in to ask about the situation.

The server bragged just now was ignored by Li Daquan because of his shock. After seeing that so many people poured in, he was content and bragged even more exaggeratedly. In his words, Wang Ke became a real god of wealth.

In Antique Street, many people were acquaintances. Especially Li Daquan, most of the people knew him.

Now that he was so disappointed, many people guessed that the young man named Wang Ke must have bought an undervalued treasure from him. Suddenly, the folks turned to look at Li Daquan's back with sneers.

Li Daquan was not on good behavior usually. So everyone hated him.

Seeing that he was so frustrated, it was nice they did not make sarcasm on him.

"I did not expect that one as shrewd like a fox as Li Daquan would fail one day. He deserves it! The jerk is always in a daydream. I have been feeling awful at him for a long time. That is the retribution of sin."

"Yeah. That guy daydreams a lot. But he never gets anything genuine. This might be the only time he's found a genuine treasure, while Wang Ke obtained it. As the old saying goes, often in the river where there is no wet shoes. Li Daquan has tricked a lot. Now he is being tricked."

"The bad luck has turned to him now. Hahaha."

"When did such a master come here to our street? Two magic weapons are amazing if that is true. Did he really meet windfalls twice a day?"

"If he could find undervalued magic weapons twice in one day, he is talented! Oh, what is his name? Wang Ke? Why did I not hear about his events before?"

"I decide to be his disciple. If I can learn something from him, I could be rich enough to buy everything I want."

"Do not fantasy. He might take a pig as his student instead of you."

"..."

The messages were given away like the wind. Soon, whole residents in the street knew that there appeared a young master named Wang Ke, who found undervalued treasures twice in one day. And each of them was a magic weapon.

The rumors spread. Wang Ke was said to be more and more extraordinary. Even he did not know that he was described as a national master.

Outside the gates of Treasure Hall, Zhou Bapi was ready to close his shop and be off duty. He could easily hear the gossip. He was shocked when he heard the name.

After a long while, he came to his sense. He caught up the two pedestrians and he smiled, "Guys, who are you talking about, the one named Wang Ke? How can he be a picker twice in one day? Is that bullsh*t that every time he found a magic weapon?"

The two stopped. One of them said, "Definitely true. He is so young like a teenager. He has found undervalued antiques twice in one day. And guess what? Every time it was a magic weapon. You can ask anyone else. He has sold the magic weapons to Shangbao Pavilion twice today."

"Oh. By the way, I heard that the last one was gained from Li Daquan. That might be a copper Buddha statue. Now Li Daquan is so regretted. If it is not because he has nothing to do with stuff already sold, he would fight for it with Wang Ke." The other pedestrian said.

Zhou Bapi was shocked. He stood still like a wood. It was not until the two went far away did he come to his sense.

"Son of a b*tch! That should have been my treasure!"

Zhou Bapi's mind was occupied with anger and deep regret.

The copper Buddha statue?

Was that a magic weapon?

How could he miss that?

He was full of regret.

A magic weapon!

Though it was not priceless, many people would admire it. He remembered clearly that Wang Ke, the son of a b*tch, only paid one hundred!

How much would a magic weapon worth? He was afraid that it might be sold at a price of around one hundred thousand, which was a thousand times higher than a hundred.

"Clap."

Zhou Bapi slapped himself on his face. He shivered because of the pain from both his broken heart and his slapped face.

Why did not he find out that it was a magic weapon? If he did, he would be the rich one. What kind of ability did Wang Ke have? How could he find out that the statue was a magic weapon?

What was wrong with him? How could he be so unlucky? Did his fate offend the unlucky star?

He was full of regret for having not bought the copper Buddha statue. Such kind of fortune had been taken by the son of a b*tch. He was even more repentant that such a talented person had been driven away by him. Considering the printhe left on the counter, and the two magic weapons he found, he was a master!

Wang Ke hid his talents and worked for him, which had been a great treasure for him. Why was he so blinded to drive him away? Was his brain jammed by the door, or did he get a rock in his head?

The passersby looked at him with weird faces. He slapped himself heavily again.

"Boss, what happened?" Sun Ming said cringingly. He just finished cleaning Treasure Hall. Because he knew Zhou Bapi was waiting to lock the door, he rushed out. But he did not expect the scene that Zhou Bapi slapped himself.

Zhou Bapi paid attention to Sun Ming. Seeing his stupid face, he could not feel angrier. If it wasnot this jerk that stirred up trouble and made mischief about Wang Ke around him, how would he drive Wang Ke away?

It was all because of him to make him drive away a master!

He spasmed. He slapped on Sun Ming's face. He pointed at his nose and scolded him angrily, "You are such a jerk. If it was not for you, how could I drive away Wang Ke? It was you who made mischief. You pissed me off. You pissed me off. If you still want to stay here, I will only give you one thousand and five hundred a month. Otherwise, get away from me!

After scolding heavily, he locked the door and left while Sun Ming covered his slappedface feeling wronged.

"Wang Ke? D*mn it. What exactly did he do?" Sun Ming clenchedhis fists. He looked at the back of Zhou Bapi with resentment, which was not only to Zhou Bapi but also to Wang Ke.

Outside the bank. Liu Gang just finished the transaction, and he looked at Wang Ke who was wearing a bitter smile. He sighed, "Buddy. Man proposes, God disposes. I did not expect that the guys in the store gave away the message you came to sell the magic weapons. That is all my fault. But it is good for you that everyone knows you are a master. You will gain respect."

I would rather not gain respect.

Wang Ke said to himself. He bitterly nodded to respond to Liu Gang.

Liu Gang was shrewd. He could tell that Wang Ke was unsatisfied. To keep this long-term client, he patted him on his shoulder, and he smiled, "Bro, this is all my fault. Would you like me to treat you today? Tomorrow I will kick the guy who gave away the message out."

Wang Ke frowned. What Liu Gang just said made him unhappy.

Though he was unsatisfied with that clerk, it was too excessive to make him lose the job because of such a small matter. He knew it was hard to be a server. And he knew the feeling to be fired.

"Let it go! He did not know that I wanted to keep it a secret. Ignorance can be forgiven. Bro, thanks for your invitation to the meal. I have other things to do. I could dine with you another day!" Wang Ke said.
