Chapter 319: I Need Your Help
"Hey, old man, don’t forget what you said!" Lin Tian, who had been silent and staring at Nomura with a sinister expression, suddenly shouted at Nomura.
This time, even though it didn’t involve Lin Tian’s own interests or those of people around him, sometimes he had to stand up for his beloved country as a person of the Celestial Dragon Continent.
Nomura paid no attention to Lin Tian because, after all, Lin Tian wasn’t even a journalist, and Nomura didn’t take him seriously at all.
"Today’s press conference is over. I hope all you journalists from the Celestial Dragon Continent don’t forget to find words to praise when you see your continent’s artifacts!" Nomura said one last thing to the microphone with arrogance and then left with a flourish.
Initially, many people only dared to murmur, but once Nomura left, it immediately turned into loud clamor and cursing.
"These foreigners always feel superior to us. This time we must show them!"
"This is truly outrageous, do they think the Celestial Dragon Continent has nobody?"
"Nomura is too arrogant and utterly conceited!"
Although many people were cursing, no one could come up with a practical suggestion.
This made Lin Tian shake his head helplessly. The Celestial Dragon Continent never lacks talkers, but it lacks the kind of people who silently solve problems.
"Do you have any ideas now?" Chen Moxiang, who was beside him, saw Lin Tian’s gloomy face and knew what he was thinking.
"I do have ideas, but I fear it’s impossible with my capabilities alone!" Lin Tian was no fool, unlike those around who just blindly cursed without truly considering the heart of the matter.
Why was Nomura so arrogant and dismissive?
There must be a reason; his security team must be particularly excellent, so much so that he believed no thief could steal from him.
Because only by achieving this could Nomura be so brazen, especially with that statement about not pursuing legal action if something got stolen in the Celestial Dragon Continent! To provoke or draw attention in such an audacious manner would certainly attract thieves, and without enough strength, who would dare to challenge like this?
After all, these artifacts are known to all, thieves act in the dark!
"Fifty artifacts, they really went big!" Chen Moxiang said meaningfully.
Grabbing Lin Tian’s right arm, Chen Moxiang suddenly spoke, "That’s why I came to find you today!"
"As expected!" Lin Tian showed a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Mr. Chen, I regret that I can’t help with this!" Although Chen Yajing hadn’t said what it was about, Lin Tian shook his head repeatedly and refused.
"Is what you’re doing really okay?" Chen Yajing didn’t expect to be rejected by Lin Tian so directly and suddenly didn’t know what to say.
"These things belong to your Security Management Institute, they’re not related to me!" Lin Tian had just been so angered by Nomura that he wanted to steal the fifty artifacts, showing him some humility!
But after calming down, Lin Tian dispelled that impulsive thought. The Celestial Dragon Continent has 1.3 billion people, even if he didn’t do it, someone else would.
Little did he know everyone held the same thought...
"Lin Tian!" Hearing what Lin Tian said, Chen Yajing stomped her black boots fiercely on the ground, "Do you know what you’re saying?"
"How can this have nothing to do with you as a person of the Celestial Dragon Continent?" Chen Yajing looked at Lin Tian and shouted angrily.
Both of them were just in front of the venue, naturally hearing Nomura’s words clearly. To be honest, anyone present with a patriotic heart from the Celestial Dragon Continent would be furious.
Especially someone from the Security Management Institute like Chen Yajing, because of her job, she was more patriotic than anyone present.
Therefore, Chen Yajing also had the idea of stealing the artifacts. Nomura, wasn’t he arrogantly saying they wouldn’t pursue legal action as long as they were stolen?
Then just steal them, steal boldly, and see if Nomura would still be so arrogant once the fifty artifacts, which originally belonged to the Celestial Dragon Continent, were stolen!
Precisely because of this, Chen Yajing had come early to find Lin Tian, wanting to put her thoughts into action.
The idea was beautiful, but she never expected to be rejected by Lin Tian; even Chen Yajing hadn’t anticipated this outcome.
One can imagine just how angry Chen Yajing was at this moment.
"Mr. Chen, I’m just a common person. I’m patriotic and angry, but there’s nothing I can do!" Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
With nothing but a passionate patriotic heart, challenging Nomura would not be simple. There might even be a risk of losing his life. After thinking it over, Lin Tian decided not to take the risk; wasn’t it better to focus on cultivation and studies?
"I must have been wrong about you!" Chen Yajing said coldly, no longer insisting on Lin Tian.
"You weren’t wrong about me, I just think relying only on my meager strength is a bit tough!" Seeing Chen Yajing leaving, Lin Tian suddenly turned and smiled.
"What exactly do you mean?" Chen Yajing looked at Lin Tian with a playful gaze, wondering if he wanted to help or not since he suddenly said so.
This feeling was like negotiating conditions with her.
"There are too many eyes here, let’s talk in the car!" Lin Tian suggested leaving the place first.
Realizing the place was filled with reporters and onlookers, Chen Yajing agreed it wasn’t suitable for discussion, so she followed Lin Tian away from the cultural center.
In Chen Moxiang’s car, Lin Tian and Chen Yajing sat in the driver and passenger seats respectively.
"What exactly do you mean, Lin Tian?" Once the room door was closed, Chen Yajing couldn’t resist her doubts and asked again.
"Actually, I don’t mean much!" Lin Tian paused, then chuckled, "I have a patriotic heart, but patriotism doesn’t put food on the table!"
"You want money?" Chen Yajing seemed to understand Lin Tian’s meaning, feeling disdain for him.
Lin Tian shook his head, "No, no! I don’t want money. If I wanted money, I’d directly steal the fifty artifacts and then sell them, probably worth an unimaginable amount, earnings that my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren could never finish spending!"
What Lin Tian said was true; fifty artifacts, even if sold at the lowest price, would earn a tremendous amount, enough for several generations to squander.
"Then what do you mean?" Chen Yajing stared at Lin Tian, furrowing her brows, increasingly unsure of what was on his mind.
"I need your help!" Lin Tian got straight to the point without playing games, "To be honest, as a person of the Celestial Dragon Continent, I want to steal the fifty artifacts; it feels like a slap across Nomura’s face, quite satisfying!"
"But have you thought, since Nomura dared to say that, he must have great confidence in his security measures, otherwise such arrogant claims would never be made!"
Lin Tian paused, continuing, "It’s too hard to steal fifty artifacts on my own, even if I wanted to attempt it, it would be impossible to succeed!"
