Through the window.
Alkaid looked at her.
She seed to be looking back at Alkaid.
Their eyes t.
In her wide-open eyes, there was a profound longing to live.
Just like not long ago when she jumped out of that minibus, desperately trying to escape.
But that last ti, she survived.
This ti, she was dead.
For a mont, there was silence.
The next mont, Lin Xiaowei, Zhang Qing, Xia Wuyuan, and others all had a sudden change in expression.
"Quick! Call an ambulance!"
"Go to the surveillance room imdiately, figure out from which floor she jumped, and then investigate!"
"There are marks on her body from being bound with a rope; so injuries... they don't seem to be from the fall..."
The group hurriedly rushed out of the Migade Collection Gallery's reception room while speaking.
However, as Lin Xiaowei was about to rush out, she paused.
She turned her head to face Alkaid with a serious expression, "I'll be keeping an eye on you!"
After saying this, she followed the pace of Xia Wuyuan, Zhang Qing, and the others.
Alkaid calmly stood up and walked to the window.
Watching the pedestrians next to her scream in fright, everyone scattered in all directions.
He looked at Lin Xiaowei, Zhang Qing, Xia Wuyuan, and the others as they first responded by going against the fleeing crowd, trying to rescue Yu Xiaoying.
But in the end, they could only helplessly remove their clothes to cover her.
"Thump thump."
A gentle knocking at the door broke the quiet atmosphere of the reception room.
"Young Master Su... there's been an accident outside, would you prefer to..."
The voice of Director Fang ca through.
"Where's my sword?"
Alkaid asked.
"It's here."
The door was quickly pushed open, Director Fang and Zhang Qing entered from outside.
Upon seeing this, Alkaid pulled down the blinds.
This left Zhang Qing, who was curious about what was happening outside, with no choice but to suppress his eagerness for gossip.
Accompanying Director Fang were also two staff mbers.
They were carrying a rack with the ancient Chengying Sword placed on it.
The Chengying Sword was longer than any sword Alkaid had used before.
The total length was over ninety centiters.
The material it was made from was unknown, as the whole body was transparent.
If you didn't look closely, you couldn't even see the blade, just the hilt.
This design imdiately caught the eye of Alkaid who possessed the Formless secret technique.
He went straight to the Chengying Sword and picked it up.
The Chengying Sword was relatively slender, but it wasn't light, weighing over six jin.
This showed its special material, certainly not steel.
Alkaid flicked his finger against it.
A clear ringing of the sword chid out.
Through the sound of the sword and its response to his flick, he confird that this sword...
This ancient sword, said to be cast with technology from a thousand years ago, was indeed of higher quality than most modern weapons on the market.
Incredible, but true.
"I'll take it."
Alkaid said, "How much?"
"There was once an offer of twenty million to buy the Chengying Sword, but our boss refused. However, I just consulted with the boss and he said if Young Master Su wants it, we're willing to give you a special price, fifteen million. And to apologize for the earlier rudeness, we are willing to offer a discount on top of that, twelve million, what do you think, Young Master Su?"
Director Fang said.
"Okay."
Alkaid nodded.
Although they had only paid eight million for the sword, the cost of promoting it over the years was considerable.
Twelve million was indeed a favorable price.
Right away, Alkaid went to his car and took one hundred and twenty million Star Currency from the box obtained from Qingyu Industrial Park.
This globally accepted currency was of course accepted by the Migade Collection Gallery.
Even this unregulated cash was more convenient for them to move the funds into the international market circulation.
The transaction was completed quickly.
"Young Master Su, let have it frad for you," Director Fang said with a smiling face.
"No need," Alkaid responded.
He just collected the docunts related to the ancient sword that ca with the Chengying Sword.
"You can go back," he said.
```
Alkaid said.
"Then... Shall I put your belongings in the hotel for you?"
Zhang Qing asked for instructions.
"That's fine."
Alkaid nodded.
After Zhang Qing left, Alkaid looked once more at the scene of the fall.
The ambulance had arrived.
But it was already too late to be of any use.
He turned his gaze to the museum director beside him, "I would like to et the big boss of Yulong International, could you introduce ?"
There was so hesitation on the museum director's face.
However, considering the status of the young Su family mber, even though he hadn't returned to the Su Family, they would likely agree to a eting based on the influence of the Su Family.
He imdiately said, "I'll ask for you."
Alkaid gave a slight nod.
The Su Family's na, quite useful.
At this mont, he was considering whether or not to visit the Su Family.
His previous reluctance to return to the Su Family was mainly due to his parents being extrely difficult, which would have certainly entangled him in nurous matters and affected his training plans.
But now...
"Perhaps, I could talk with the head of the Su Family as a collaborator for mutual benefit."
He would use his martial prowess to ensure the Su Family's developnt was safeguarded.
The Su Family would support him economically and socially, facilitating his acquisition of money, the slaying of demons, and his advancent to Martial Saint, Human Immortal.
Achieving Grandmaster status is considered a significant accomplishnt.
As long as the old head of the Su Family had so vision, he would differentiate him from others.
Even if the Su Family was unwilling, he could still collaborate with other forces.
While a Grandmaster might not reach the level of a Martial Saint, who is welcod by the Royal Family and establishes their own Noble Family, they would not be far behind a family with provincial-level influence.
It wasn't long before the museum director returned.
"Mr. Ou is very much looking forward to your visit, Young Master Su."
She said with a smile, "Soone will co down soon to invite Young Master Su over."
"Thank you."
Alkaid gave a slight nod.
"Is Young Master Su interested in weapons? If Migade Collection Gallery acquires a new famous weapon, may we invite Young Master Su?"
"Sure,"
Alkaid responded, "If you can find a Treasure or a Divine Weapon, that would be ideal."
Treasure, Divine Weapon?
The museum director smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.
Such treasures worth hundreds of millions, or even tens of billions, were beyond the reach of Migade Collection Gallery.
However, speaking of Treasures, sothing seed to co to her mind.
"The Wanfa Comrce Association, with whom we have a good partnership, holds an annual auction every October, gathering rare items from around the world. Three months ago, they acquired a Treasure from a declining ancient sect, and it's very likely to be auctioned off at this year's event. If Young Master Su is interested, you might want to look into it."
"Wanfa Comrce Association."
Alkaid nodded upon hearing this.
At that mont, a woman, looking to be under thirty and dressed in a won's shirt, entered.
"Secretary Ding."
The museum director greeted her and introduced, "This is Young Master Su."
The woman referred to as Secretary Ding nodded and turned to Alkaid with a smile, "Young Master Su, please co with . President Ou has long admired the Bu Zhou Group and has always wanted to visit Old Master Su."
Alkaid stood up and followed Secretary Ding out of the Migade Collection Gallery and to an exclusive elevator.
Soon, the elevator reached the twenty-second floor.
This was also the office level reserved by Yulong International.
"Please co this way."
Secretary Ding gestured and led Alkaid inside.
Alkaid glanced around.
The exit from the elevator was a hotel-like lobby, opulently decorated with several muscular n and won stationed in various corners.
There were also so staff mbers moving back and forth.
As soon as Alkaid exited the elevator, two people's gazes fell on him.
But when they saw that Secretary Ding had brought him up, they shifted their attention away.
Alkaid followed Secretary Ding through the lobby, which resembled a palace, and proceeded down a corridor deep inside, walking several tens of ters.
However, when they passed the third intersection, Alkaid stopped.
"Young Master Su, this way please,"
Secretary Ding called out.
Alkaid ignored her and went straight to another intersection, striding forward.
"Young Master Su?"
Secretary Ding hurried after him.
But Alkaid, appearing to walk at a leisurely pace, covered great distances with each step, and Secretary Ding, even while jogging, couldn't keep up.
Before long, Alkaid stopped outside an office labeled "Director".
"Young Master Su..."
Before Secretary Ding could speak to stop him, he had already pushed the door and entered.
