The next day.
In a villa in the East District.
In the living room.
A man was sitting on the sofa with a cigar between his fingers.
The smoke rose and lingered in the surroundings.
The man looked to be in his twenties. Although his facial features were delicate, the shocking scars on his face added too much ferocity.
A blood-colored aura permeated his eyes.
Just by sitting there, he made people feel fear and did not dare to look at him directly.
Sima Yu, the actual controller of the Antique Street.
Sima Lei, the Underground Emperor of the Eastern City, was his grandfather.
Speaking of Sima Lei, he was the number one figure in the eastern city. His ruthless style of doing things had once caused all the forces to tremble in fear.
The number of people who died in his hands was not small.
Now that Sima Yu was in charge of the Sima Clan, he seemed to have inherited his grandfather's personality. He would not show any mercy to his enemies and was extremely arrogant.
All the underground forces in the entire Eastern City, no one dared to touch the Sima Clan's edge, they could only bow their heads and submit, becoming vassals.
This was the world that Sima Lei had worked hard for decades.
Until now, no new force could shake it.
Sima Yu took a puff of his cigar and said calmly,""Have you found anything?"
Beside him, the man in black who had been standing respectfully replied,""I found it. The girl's name is Guan Yuxuan. She's an outdoor streamer. The exact address is also under control.”
Sima Yu nodded.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly said,"" If the old man wants that painting, I have to satisfy him. Yuan Peng, do you think we should be polite before resorting to force, or should we just…"
"I've inquired about the situation at that time," the man in black said.”
"Gu Bao Zhai offered 1.5 billion, but the other party didn't choose to sell it.”
"And the reason why she didn't sell it wasn't because of money, but because her grandfather liked that painting too.”
"So, if we use money…I don't think it will be very effective.”
Hearing this, Sima Yu smiled and said,""A priceless national treasure. This girl doesn't seem to be very smart.”
"Yes." Yuan Peng nodded.
"She doesn't have the strength to own such a thing. Selling it is actually the best choice.”
"Now that many people are coveting it, it's only a matter of time before it's lost.”
"Young Master, should we make a move?"
Sima Yu said,"Send a few people over to get this painting before dawn tomorrow."”
"Alright." Yuan Peng nodded." What about Gu Baozhai?”
"Ancient Treasure House?" Sima Yu snorted coldly," Lu Hongfeng doesn't have the guts to go against our Sima Clan. Don't bother with him.”
"If you really dare to interfere, we'll follow the rules."
"Yes, Young Master." Yuan Peng narrowed his eyes.”
With the power of the Sima Clan, it was simply too easy to obtain this painting.
In the entire Eastern City, the only people who had the strength to go against the Sima Clan was the Yu Clan.
However, the Yu Clan and the older generation of the Sima Clan had a deep relationship, so it was impossible for them to become enemies.
In other words, the Sima Clan could be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand in the Eastern City.
" Young Master," Yuan Peng asked curiously," why did the Master suddenly like ancient paintings? I've never heard of it before."”
Sima Yu was helpless." I've already asked. It's to pay homage to the Great Grandmaster."”
"When the great grandmaster was still alive, his hobby was to collect antique calligraphy and paintings.”
"After the great grandmaster passed away, he left behind a will. Half of all the wealth will be given to the descendants of the Yu family, and the other half will be given to the disciples under his name.”
"Our Sima Clan has also received the blessing and protection of Grand Grandmaster. Otherwise, how could we have such a status today?”
"Your great granduncle?" Yuan Peng was surprised when he heard this. Master of the family head?"
"Yes." Sima Yu nodded and cupped his fists to the heavens. He said respectfully,"Great granduncle was a legendary figure back then. The person I respected the most was him.”
Yuan Peng seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise,""Yu family?"
"Young Master, your great grandmaster isn't the Yu Clan's ancestor, is he?”
Sima Yu smiled and nodded,"Yes."”
"Yu Tianyang of the eastern city is the great-great-grandmaster's great-great-grandson, so our two families still have a lot of history.”
Yuan Peng obviously had his trust and did not hide anything.
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect this subordinate to only know about it now."”
"No wonder for so many years, our Sima Clan and Yu Clan have always helped each other. Even if one side suffered losses, there has never been any conflict.”
Sima Yu said," Grandfather said that Grand Grandmaster has given a ban. Disciples and descendants of the Yu Clan must not fight with each other. Those who violate it must be punished together."”
" He's indeed a formidable hero of his generation," Yuan Peng said respectfully." It's a pity that I'm not fated to meet him."”
He could imagine how amazing the Yu Clan Patriarch was back then.
Even his disciples were the titans of the East City.
And even now, they still respected him.
Sima Yu chuckled,"It's a pity that I've never seen him before."”
"When he was alive, I wasn't even born yet.”
"It seems that the Clan Head still remembers the kindness of Grand Grandmaster's teachings, and even today, he doesn't dare to forget it."”
"Yes." Sima Yu nodded and said,"That's why we have to get this painting."”
"Grandfather has long since stopped caring about the world. It's rare for him to speak up. We must not disappoint him.”
Yuan Peng smiled and nodded." Don't worry, Young Master. I'll send my best men to do this."”
