Chapter 796 The Veteran Warrior Who Instantly Activates His Battle Face

The two people who appeared in Suzuki Jirokichi and Suzuki Sonoko's line of sight at this moment were the owner of these Ryoma treasures and the appraiser who appraised them.

The fat one is named Tarumi Inohiko.

The organizers of this year's Dragon Horse Show are the same organizers of the Dragon Horse Show 20 years ago.

Beside Tarumi Inohiko was Hanamura Masanosuke.

A renowned appraisal master in Tokyo; although his fees are high, his appraisal skills are undeniable.

All the dragon horse treasures displayed at the dragon horse exhibition were appraised by Masanosuke Hanamura, who also issued appraisal certificates.

If Suzuki Jirokichi insists that all these military treasures are fakes, then he is slapping Hanamura Masanosuke in the face, and also slapping the faces of those powerful people who think Hanamura Masanosuke is very powerful.

However, upon hearing this, Suzuki Jirokichi merely sneered.

"I've traveled all over the country for so many years, what storms haven't I weathered?"

"I've bought more treasures than that appraiser next to you named Huacun has ever seen."

"If it weren't for Phantom Thief Kid saying he was coming to return your treasure, I wouldn't have allowed you to display Ryoma in my exhibition hall. And you actually say it's real, so why don't you let my foundation's appraiser authenticate it?"

In response, Tarumi Inohiko and Hanamura Masanosuke exchanged a glance.

That's quite a bold idea.

Previously, Tarumi Inohiko's teacher, Chairman Kawazu, thought that Suzuki Jirokichi was an easy target, or even a sucker who could be easily swindled out of a large sum of money.

But now it seems that Suzuki Jirokichi is not so easy to deal with.

Fortunately, if all goes as expected, Chairman Kawazu's ship will arrive in Dongxing City tonight.

Let Chairman Kawazu take a look at how to handle the follow-up.

However, before that, let's deal with Suzuki Jirokichi's problem first.

Tarumi Inohiko coughed twice, then spoke.

"Ahem, didn't I tell you this before?"

"It's not that we won't appraise them, it's just that we'll appraise them slowly and gradually. Once this Ryoma Exhibition is over and Kaito Kid returns the three lost treasures, you can appraise them however you want. I won't stop you at all."

"As an advisor to the Suzuki Group, can't you even wait a few days?"

Masanosuke Hanamura, who was standing next to him, also nodded.

"Suzuki, I can vouch for these things with my reputation."

Would I joke about my reputation?

"If I were to risk the reputation I've built up over ten years just for such a small joke, wouldn't that be a bit too much for me? What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Tarumi Inohiko quickly unleashed a combo attack.

"Besides, if the Phantom Thief Kid is willing to come here, it means that his treasures must be genuine."

"If all the treasures at my Ryoma Exhibition were fake, why would Phantom Thief Kid return those fakes? Does Phantom Thief Kid have nothing better to do than return fakes? And why did he keep them for twenty years?"

"And that's why we asked Suzuki consultant to help organize the Ryoma Exhibition."

"Actually, it's also to prevent Phantom Thief Kid from getting greedy and stealing the jewels."

"In the entire city of Tokyo, besides you, who else can deal with Phantom Thief Kid?"

The gemstone that Tarumi Inohiko mentioned.

Naturally, this refers to Sakamoto Ryoma's gun belt.

A ruby ​​hung from the gun strap.

Exceptionally valuable.

If Kaito Kid is the kind of person who wouldn't let go of even a single gem, then he obviously wouldn't let go of the ruby ​​that Sakamoto Ryoma was carrying either, so the excuse that Tarumi Inohiko came up with is plausible.

After all, there are only two people in the entire city of Tokyo who are most experienced in dealing with Kaito Kid.

One is Nakamori Ginzo, who is generally considered to be of little use and is suspected of being in a charade with Kaito Kid.

Another one is Jirokichi Suzuki, who drove Kaito Kid into chaos in a short period of time.

In comparison, Suzuki Jirokichi is clearly more credible.

The sentence ends with a direct compliment to Suzuki Jirokichi. This comes amidst a combined attack from Tarumi Inohiko and Hanamura Masanosuke.

Suzuki Jirokichi finally couldn't take it anymore and said smugly.

"Of course, no one is better at dealing with Phantom Thief Kid than me."

"Nakamori Ginzo is just an outsider."

"How could he possibly compare to my strength?"

After praising the artifacts for a while, the two members of the multinational counterfeit art syndicate finally left with sinister smiles.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Sonoko Suzuki hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Uncle, don't you think there's something wrong with those two people?"

"I always had a feeling they weren't good people."

"Should we have Arn investigate their true identities?"

As Sonoko Suzuki spoke, she turned to look at Jirokichi Suzuki beside her.

However, in that instant, Suzuki Jirokichi, who was just feeling smug, instantly switched to a fighting expression.

His face was somewhat gloomy, and then he spoke.

"That ruby ​​is fake too."

"It's made entirely of plastic."

"But I can't understand why these people go to such lengths to put on an exhibition of counterfeit goods."

"It's one thing for them to put on a fake exhibition for their own amusement, but they insisted on using my Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall. And to make matters worse, Kaito Kid actually kept their fakes for twenty years and is still playing along with them?"

"What on earth are they doing?"

Jirokichi Suzuki is, after all, a seasoned veteran with decades of experience.

How could we possibly be fooled by these people's few words?
His eyes held a serious expression.

Then he said.

"There's no need to tell Chen En about this."

“I know he seems to have encountered a lot of vicious murders today, and he’s probably very busy. I can handle this little thing myself. The Suzuki Group’s intelligence network is not to be underestimated.”

"As for when to remove these two people..."

"No rush, let him wander around some more."

"I want to see what new tricks those two can come up with."

Jirokichi Suzuki's voice was very confident.

It was as if he had become the Buddha, and the two people had become Sun Wukong under the Five Finger Mountain.

There was no way they could escape from his grasp.

Sonoko Suzuki, standing next to her, nodded blankly and replied.

"Okay, I get it now."

It seems unreliable no matter how you look at it.

Uncle Suzuki was just as confident when he said he was going to deal with Kaito Kid.

Let's call Arn first and ask her to help confirm.

They'll attack as soon as they turn around.

Just as Suzuki Jirokichi was still feeling good about himself, his phone suddenly rang, startling him from his self-satisfied dream. Somewhat impatiently, he took out his phone and looked at the incoming call information on the screen.

This is a call from Yukiko Kudo.

"Mrs. Kudo? Why are you calling me at this hour?"

Jirokichi Suzuki looked puzzled.
