Chapter 9

"Is this bracelet?" Old Mr. Xu was instantly taken aback. Could it be that he had misjudged it, and this bracelet was actually a treasure?

Summer didn't say anything, but bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the bracelet. Instantly, the bracelet emitted a blood-red glow. When everyone present saw this light, they were all stunned.

Blood Jade.

"Little brother, I'll take this bracelet for one million." A shop owner nearby walked over and said.

"Old Kang, that's not right. You're only offering one million for blood jade. I'll offer two million." Another shop owner also walked over. Blood jade was an extremely rare treasure, highly sought after but hard to come by.

This was a whole string of blood jade beads, and its origin was definitely not simple.

"Sorry, I'm not selling." Summer smiled slightly and walked towards the street. It was time to leave.

Old Mr. Xu followed Summer as he walked out of the antique street, and the four bodyguards behind him also followed closely: "Young brother, may I ask what your name is?"

"My name is Summer." Summer said.

"May I ask if you look down on me, Xu Dechuan? Can we be friends?" Xu Dechuan saw hope in Summer. He was sure that the appraisal skills Summer had just displayed were not just luck; he must be a disciple of some master.

Summer had previously known little about Jianghai City and hadn't expected to encounter such important figures. But now he knew that since he had gained this ability to see through things, the whole world seemed different, and he needed to seek answers to many things.

Where had his mother gone? Why had his father never let him ask, and his father's death was also very suspicious. He hadn't even seen his father's body before it was cremated, and it was his aunt who had set up the tombstone.

If he were to investigate on his own, he wouldn't find out anything. But if he had the help of the appraisal master Xu Dechuan, his chances would be much better. After all, Xu Dechuan had many more connections than he did.

It would also save him a lot of trouble in the future.

"Of course, it's a great honor to be friends with Master Xu." Summer smiled slightly. He had already decided to befriend Master Xu, but he had to be cautious with such a cunning old fox.

"You're too kind, little brother. Your appraisal skills have already reached the master level. I'm the one who's showing off in front of a master." Old Mr. Xu bowed slightly: "May I ask what your name is?"

"My name is Summer." Summer said.

"So you're Brother Xia. May I ask who your teacher is?" Old Mr. Xu wanted to know more about the person behind Summer. To have a disciple as skilled as Summer, that person must be the greatest master in the antique world.

Summer's current appraisal skills could already identify the forgeries made by Fang Quzi, so his future achievements would be boundless.

Just then, a Land Rover stopped in front of Summer and the others. The antique street was relatively remote, and although there were many people inside the street, few people passed by outside.

Seeing the Land Rover, Xu Dechuan frowned.

The car door opened, and three men in black got out. One of them walked with a limp, a cripple. His hair was very short, and although he was wearing black, it was different from the suits of the other two. He was wearing sportswear, with no fancy decorations on his clothes or pants, and a pair of shiny military boots.

When Summer saw these three men, Xu Dechuan involuntarily took a few steps back, and the four bodyguards behind him stepped in front of him.

The crippled man in black glanced at Xu Dechuan and then focused his gaze on Summer: "You're Summer, right? Come with me."

"Go with you? Who are you?" Summer wasn't stupid; he could tell that the man's intentions were not good.

"He's called A San, the personal bodyguard of the Xu family head, Xu Qinghua." Xu Dechuan whispered behind Summer. He knew very well how capable A San was.

"Xu Dechuan, this is none of your business. It's best not to interfere, or don't blame me, A San, for not showing you any respect." A San walked up to Xu Dechuan. Although he wasn't afraid of Xu Dechuan, if Xu Dechuan interfered, things would get complicated.

"A San, don't think that just because you have Xu Qinghua's backing, you can act so recklessly with me. I am Xu Qinghua's uncle." Xu Dechuan walked up to A San and said, knowing very well that Summer was not an ordinary person. There must be a great figure behind Summer. If Summer was in trouble, helping him would strengthen their relationship.

Although A San was very capable, the great figure behind Summer would not be afraid of A San.

The two men in black behind A San walked directly towards Summer, and the four bodyguards of Xu Dechuan also came to the front of Summer. A battle was about to break out. At this moment, A San walked forward: "You two just watch. If you two get involved, it will take a lot of time."

"Four of you together, don't underestimate him. He's not an ordinary person." Xu Dechuan frowned, knowing A San well.

Xu Qinghua's position as the head of the family was largely due to A San, who had eliminated all his enemies and obstacles.

Xu Dechuan's four bodyguards were all professional, specially trained, each capable of taking on two to three young men, and they usually protected Xu Dechuan's safety.

A San walked slowly towards Xu Dechuan's four bodyguards. Summer was very curious. Could this half-crippled man really be a master? At that moment, A San moved. His left foot flew out instantly, with incredible speed, and kicked a bodyguard in the chin. Then, using that foot as leverage, he kicked another person with a powerful sweeping kick.

"Wow." Seeing A San's powerful kick, Summer was stunned. Such a powerful kick was something even the taekwondo he had seen before couldn't achieve.

"It seems I underestimated A San. Brother Summer, I'm afraid I can't save you. You should have your master step in. Those who are targeted by Xu Qinghua don't have a good end." Xu Dechuan wanted to use this opportunity to make Summer call his master, so he could have a chance to befriend Summer's master.

"This old man is up to something." Summer thought to himself. He had always been wary of Xu Dechuan. A person like him was not easy to deal with. Such a person was a double-edged sword; if used well, he could be lethal, but if used poorly, he would only hurt himself.

Xu Dechuan was willing to stand up for him and wanted to be friends with him because he guessed that Summer had a very powerful master. Since that was the case, Summer didn't want to expose it: "My master is very busy. He won't get involved in such a small matter."

At this moment, A San's feet moved widely. In just a few seconds, all four men were kicked to the ground. However, these four men were not without merit and stood up again, enduring their injuries.

"Hmph, you still have some backbone." A San showed no mercy, and his feet flew out again, kicking two men away. Then, he stomped with his right foot, flipped his body, and kicked the third person in the head with his heel. As soon as he landed, he lightly tapped his right foot and leaped onto the shoulder of the fourth person.

His body flipped again, and the bodyguard was thrown away.

"Come with me." A San looked at Summer with cold eyes. His task was to bring Summer back, not to harm him. As for Xu Dechuan, he didn't even consider him.

In his eyes, the only reason Xu Dechuan was still standing there was because Xu Qinghua respected him as an elder. Otherwise, he would have already joined the other brothers of Xu Qinghua.

"Are you still waiting for me to invite you?" A San frowned, and the two men in black behind him walked directly towards Summer, reaching out to grab him.

Just as they were about to grab Summer, he took a slight step back, then grabbed their shoulders and pulled them down. Although his movements were gentle, everyone present saw clearly.

A San was also slightly taken aback, looking at Summer in surprise.
