Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 758: Chapter 756: The Day of Reckoning [Fourth Update]

Lu Xiaobu stood there like a Stabilizer.

The audience, who had not wished to attend the bamboo art exhibition anymore, were standing there again just to queue up alongside Lu Xiaobu!

”Why do I feel such a sense of glory!?”

”Being together with Young Master Bu like this, I inexplicably feel excited!”

”I speak only for myself, and that is, if Heavenly Dynasty were to choose a representative for its people, then my choice is — Young Master Bu!”

”Me too! I might have criticized Xiaobu many times before, but starting from today, I’ve changed sides from black to fan! No matter what others say, as soon as I see the name Lu Xiaobu, sorry, but I’m a brainless fan! Because he, he doesn’t disappoint!”

”That’s right! Me too!”

”I’m not queuing up today for the bamboo art exhibition, I’m queuing to savor this moment!”

”Big brother, you’re much older, go ahead, I’ll let you!”

”No, no, no, I’m still young. How about this, you go ahead of me and I’ll call you big brother!”

”...”

We all know how intense the situation can get in Heavenly Dynasty over queueing and scrambling for places!

But today, a strange scene unfolded where everyone was rushing to move to the back instead of the front!

Compared to entering the bamboo art exhibition, they preferred staying back to see Lu Xiaobu!

Right at this moment, Lu Xiaobu was their hero in their hearts!

Especially seeing Lu Xiaobu queuing up orderly, it moved them inexplicably!

If Lu could act like this, they felt even more inclined to do the same!

Not only them, but foreigners also started to line up conscientiously.

After all, trash is still the minority, every country has its villains and also its good people, you can’t tar everyone with the same brush!

Of course, the terrifying prowess of Lu Xiaobu also made many people dare not to act recklessly again!

They were rather comfortable, but the security guards were going crazy one by one!

They swore!

They had never been so meticulous and responsible in their duties as they were today!

The necessary security checks were conducted!

The needed inspections were performed!

Even their postures stood upright; those who didn’t know how to stand in a military stance went to the restroom to watch videos and learn!

Not for anything else but because there was someone standing at the back of the queue — Lu Xiaobu!

They were scared!

They were scared that Lu Xiaobu would lose his temper!

So, they could only do their best!

...

Inside the bamboo art exhibition.

Five Japanese bamboo art masters, along with an American collector, and Zhan Longyan were fuming together!

”Are we just letting this matter go?!”

The American collector’s emotions were volatile as he stood up and interrogated Zhan Longyan: ”This is your turf! You let a Lu Xiaobu steal your thunder, and you can only hide obediently?”

”Shut up!”

Zhan Longyan’s internal anger didn’t know where to vent, and when he heard the American collector, he also burst into rage: ”Don’t freaking tell me how to do things!”

Zhan Longyan’s sudden outburst shocked the six people present!

They looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

They had never seen Zhan Longyan show such an attitude,

Zhan Longyan, looking at the expressions of the several people, took a deep breath and then exhaled a long sigh: ”Sorry, I lost control of my emotions.”

He took a moment to compose himself, then continued: ”Actually, this is not a bad thing for us.”

”How so?!”

The American collector put aside his emotions temporarily to ask.

”For some reason, I cannot actively seek trouble with Lu Xiaobu recently, but now that he has crossed my path, I can’t be blamed! We can take this opportunity to strike back against Lu Xiaobu hard.”

Zhan Longyan’s eyes were gleaming like a hungry wolf.

”Be specific!”

The American collector perked up at this and showed interest.

The five Japanese bamboo art masters were also very intrigued and listened intently: ”Please continue, Longyan-kun.”

”This is a bamboo art exhibition, isn’t it!? And Lu Xiaobu has just started a school, where bamboo art is key. So, if we invite over teachers from his school during this period and set up a bamboo art competition for him!”

Zhan Longyan’s eyes turned increasingly sinister: ”Then, if his people lose, it will be like having his left arm and right leg chopped off, completely helpless!”

”But, Mr. Zhan Longyan, won’t this impact the agreement you mentioned earlier?” the American collector asked with a frown.

Regardless of personal character, Americans still take contracts very seriously!

After all, when applying for a green card, they can swear on the Bible, and the procedure is strict!

Not to mention the daily life vows!

”No, it won’t! My agreement was only that I can’t kick someone when they’re down, but it didn’t say I couldn’t retaliate!” A sharp glance flashed through Zhan Longyan’s eyes.

”Bamboo art competition?! Then what?!”

The Japanese bamboo art masters were even more interested in this.

”Then, isn’t it because his teachers can’t produce works, leading to their failure, and in the end, their reputation plummets!”

Zhan Longyan’s smile became more and more vicious.

Lu Xiaobu, you made Xia Jie lose face, but not me!

You’ve given me an opportunity now.

Just don’t blame me for being ruthless!

The five Japanese people heard this, exchanged glances, discussed briefly, and also nodded in agreement: ”We will not lose in the realm of bamboo art!”

They also held quite a grudge against Lu Xiaobu!

Now that there was an opportunity to take revenge on Lu Xiaobu, of course, they would not miss it!

However!

The American collector furrowed his brows: ”But I will only maintain a fair attitude!”

He could tolerate a momentary defeat.

But he would definitely not lie or judge unfairly!

After all, his livelihood was collecting bamboo art!

If he were to rig a contest and make false statements in such an open event, especially in front of Lu Xiaobu who dares to do anything, even the embassy wouldn’t demand him strictly, his life would basically be over!

”Of course, you have to be fair and just! That’s not for you to worry about!”

Zhan Longyan narrowed his eyes as he spoke: ”I think for this matter, the five masters will have great confidence, right?”

”Of course!”

The five Japanese bamboo art masters stood tall and proud with an air of arrogance.

”Alright, I’ll just do what I should do! The rest, I won’t care nor ask.”

The American collector stood up, turned around, and left.

Zhan Longyan watched his figure, his smile becoming more triumphant!

Lu Xiaobu, you’re sure to lose this time!

I won’t allow your people to bring bamboo works!

Of course, even if they do bring them, so what?!

Can the artisans you find from the middle of nowhere compare to the now world-renowned Japanese bamboo art masters?!

Hahaha, Lu Xiaobu, oh Lu Xiaobu, there’s a path to Heaven you didn’t take, but Hell you seek without a door!

Today is the day we settle scores!
