Chapter 323 You, the Great Qin, actually stole our country’s treasures!
Lu Ban glanced at the tense atmosphere around him, sneered, stared at Kate, and asked:
"I need to confirm, is this really the masterpiece created by your Roman master with all his efforts?"
"Please give me a convincing answer, otherwise I will regard this as an unwarranted provocation!"
"Don't forget, the people of Daqin are not people who will be bullied!"
Kate smiled contemptuously when she heard this, holding the two broken pieces of the weapon, her eyes full of sorrow.
"Of course, this treasure was created by the national teacher after going through a lot of hardships!"
"Do you understand the realm of our Roman Master?"
"He has reached the late stage of the Heavenly Man Realm and is the most powerful being in the world!"
"This glass cup was created by him with countless spiritual powers. I don't need to explain how precious it is."
"I saw with my own eyes how exhausted he was after making it, how could I be wrong?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Roman caravan had grief and anger on their faces.
"Oh my god! This is actually the hard work of the national teacher! These hateful Qin people really deserve to be reduced to slaves!"
"Yes, this belongs to us!"
"Your Highness, teach them a lesson! Make them pay for stealing our property!"
The caravan members had never expected that this artifact was actually from Rome.
The loss and pain just now turned into shame.
The sudden slap in the face put the Roman caravan in an awkward position.
However, what is even more shocking is that this glass cup was actually stolen by them!
After hearing this, Lu Ban's eyes were full of contempt. He knew very well that when the Thirteenth Master made this thing, it was definitely not the only one.
In fact, Lu Ban thought there might be hundreds, or even thousands.
The current situation is clear as day; the other party is attempting to escalate the situation.
If you want to make the bet invalid, it would be best to force Daqin to pay compensation and apologize.
But how could Lu Ban let him have his way?
He immediately asked: "So, this glass cup can be exchanged for three cities, is that right?"
Kate's face changed drastically when she heard this.
"Three cities?! This is just the initial compensation. Your Great Qin Emperor still has to bow his head and admit his mistake to me! Now the three cities are just the appetizer. You are not so naive as to think that this thing is worth so little, right?!"
Prince Kate glared at Lu Ban with contempt and even raised his middle finger. The sarcasm was self-evident.
"Let me tell you, this thing is invaluable! Even our most loyal vassal states rarely see it!"
"Not only did you steal it, you also destroyed it. Do you think the Roman Empire will let you go?!"
Seeing this, Lu Ban could no longer tolerate it and waved his hand to order the servants beside him.
"Bring another glass cup right away, and let this fellow see for himself how many of these treasures we have in stock."
After the schoolmaster left, everyone in the Roman caravan looked at each other in surprise.
Lu Ban's expression was not joking, but rather revealed extreme seriousness, which made them suspicious.
"Could they really take out King Liuli? If so, wouldn't we be..."
"It's impossible, absolutely impossible. Just now, Her Highness Kate concluded that this cup was made by the national master. How could it be fake? I think they are going to find reinforcements, right?"
"It's very likely! Looking at his anxious look at the moment, I'm afraid he has begun to feel afraid. Alas, the Qin people are weak, and this is helpless!"
Amid the mockery from the caravan, Lu Ban remained calm, waiting for the truth to bite him.
Kate waited quietly, but in her heart she didn't believe that there would be a second top-grade glass cup like this.
If there were, how could the Qin people regard dirt as treasure? He had a deep contempt for such despicable countries and believed that they could not have such technology.
At this moment, the people around him suddenly screamed:
"That person is back! And he even has a glass cup in his hand!"
Kate looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned for a moment.
That amazing move actually came true.
What surprised Kate even more was that what he was holding in his hand was another identical glass cup.
Lu Ban took the glass cup, and Kate found that it was no different from the broken one before, and the whole audience was in an uproar.
The people in the Roman caravan stood there in a daze. Wasn’t this treasure the only work that the Roman imperial master had worked so hard on?
Why are there two?
Lu Ban took the glass cup handed over by the attendant and placed it in front of Prince Kate, with a mocking look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded child:
"How much are you willing to pay for this glass cup? Three cities, or one million taels of gold?"
"I hope you can fulfill your promise. You know, this cup is almost the same as the masterpiece you said it was made by a national master! If you say this thing is priceless, then your thought must be worthless too, right?"
Upon hearing this, the people from the Roman caravan immediately surrounded them.
Master Lu Ban threw the glass cups at them as if he was giving alms to beggars.
The caravan members were overjoyed and examined the cup handed to them by Lu Ban carefully, fearing that it might be damaged.
This gesture made the Qin people passing by around couldn't help laughing.
“These guys are just savages.”
"Yes, only barbarians would be so unreasonable."
"If they continue to cheat, tell His Majesty and let him judge for you!"
As the public was discussing this, the members of the Roman caravan were arguing heatedly about the glass cup.
"This is impossible. Could it be that Great Qin also has a Liuli King?"
"Does this mean that both countries are empires, and does our broken cup mean that we are inferior to the people of Daqin?"
The captain of the caravan was standing aside, burning with anxiety. He stared at Prince Kate, his heart in a mess.
He had never expected that he would commit such a foolish act. He had originally thought that it was impossible for the Qin Dynasty to have a glass cup comparable to theirs.
It was this arrogance that drove him to make a bet with Lu Ban.
However, the other party not only showed him a glass cup, but its value was also astonishingly high!
What should you do if compensation is really needed?
What if this matter is not handled properly and the other party uses this bet as an excuse to put pressure on the royal family? Do we really have to cede three cities in exchange for this glass cup?
How can this be?
The morale of the caravan gradually dropped, but Kate was the only one who showed no sign of panic.
"I didn't expect you actually have another Liuli King? So what?!"
"I think you have run out of tricks. In order to deal with me, you have already used up all the most precious treasures in the national treasury! What a pity! I have the strongest power. I can refuse compensation!"
At this moment, he had no time to think about whether there was a third glass cup.
His confidence comes from his reputation as the second best in the world.
Even though there were people whose strength was comparable to his, in Kate's eyes, that person was already the strongest person in the country.
As long as we can recruit the Mohists and prevent Qin from using gunpowder, everything will be solved.
Kate knew that if he really wanted to pay for the city, his father would definitely punish him severely.
So he strode forward, looked directly at Lu Ban, and said:
"It's really unexpected that the people of Daqin would be so humble that they would even steal this from me. I thought I hid it well!"
"The people of Daqin are truly extraordinary. They were able to snatch this treasure from me!"
The people around were stunned for a moment when they heard this.
Doesn't he admit defeat yet?
