It was around two o'clock in the afternoon, inside a Japanese-style building near Kyobashi.
A gangster in his thirties, wearing a suit, was respectfully reporting the situation he had just inquired about.
Listening to the report were two Japanese men in their early fifties, both wearing black suits, with fleshy faces and fierce eyes.
"According to reports from the following brothers, Sean and his men have just left the Sumiyoshi Society's territory and entered our territory."
"Director Qian Gu of the National Museum and others are still with that guy Sean. They had lunch together!"
"In the many antique shops and galleries around Ginza Itchome Street, that guy Sean bought at least thirty pieces of various antique works of art!"
"According to what the brothers have inquired about and the news leaked on social media, the value of several of the antique artworks exceeds 10 million U.S. dollars."
"The value of those antique artworks has been affirmed by Curator Qian Gu and others. Perhaps because of this, Curator Qian Gu and others have never left."
At this point, the gang leader's eyes were already filled with the light of greed, which could not be concealed at all.
The two gang bosses who listened to the report were not like this.
The eyes of these two guys were a little red and full of greed.
"It seems that the legend is correct at all. This bastard Sean has an extremely sharp eye and can always discover all kinds of treasures!"
"He came to Tokyo this time, probably for the Tokyo antique art market, and planned to take away a large number of valuable antique art from Tokyo."
"It's so abominable! This is Tokyo, not his personal treasure house. You can take whatever you want!"
"Can we think of a way to get those treasures that this bastard found, and then sell them on the antique black market and make a lot of money?"
One of the gang bosses said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, the other gang boss immediately shook his head.
"This is inappropriate. It's best not to provoke this bastard Sean. This bastard is too crazy to deal with!"
"You don't know what happened in Sumiyoshi from last night to today, do you?"
"The Sumiyoshi-kai Suzuki group, which has always been against us, was completely destroyed by this bastard overnight, forcing the Sumiyoshi-kai to take the initiative to ban the Suzuki group!"
"The leader, deputy leader, and several important members of the Suzuki group were all killed by the Sumiyoshi Council themselves, just to give Sean, the bastard, an explanation!"
"As far as I know, this bastard Sean has very close ties with the US military headquarters in Japan and the CIA. We cannot afford to offend such a person!"
"hiss!"
The other two gangsters took a breath of cold air and were terrified.
Of course they knew what would happen to Sumiyoshi, and they also knew that it was all caused by Xiao Ran.
Just now, they were just blinded by the huge interests, so they put forward the suggestion of seeking death!
Now that they calmed down a little, they immediately understood that they were definitely seeking death!
After a pause, the leader of the gang continued:
"Let the boys below continue to keep an eye on that guy Sean, but don't provoke him to prevent that crazy bastard from targeting us!"
"I have a bad feeling. The reason why this bastard came to Tokyo may not just be to raid the Tokyo antique art market, but may have other purposes!"
"Hai, boss, I'll notify the brothers on the street right now"
The young gang leader bowed and responded.
Next, the two bosses gave the guy a few more words and asked him to leave.
When he exited the room, the gang boss who had just proposed to rob Xiao Ran suddenly whispered:
"Boss Morita, do you want to notify several antique shops and galleries that are related to us and ask them to close down immediately?"
"That way we can avoid being robbed by that bastard Sean, and we can also avoid being found out by that bastard."
The boss named Morita did not respond immediately, but fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he shook his head.
"There is no need to close those antique shops and galleries, as that will arouse others' suspicion."
"Using its several antique shops and galleries, we can just test whether that bastard Sean has some ulterior motive in coming to Tokyo!"
"As for the possibility of being picked up by that bastard, it only depends on luck. I don't believe that his luck is always so good and he happens to be able to pick up a big leak in one of our stores!"
Hearing this, the other gangster could only nod in agreement.
"Okay, I'm going to notify the directors of several antique stores and galleries and ask them to pay attention to every move that bastard Sean makes."
"And turn on all the surveillance cameras in each store to take pictures of the whole process."
With that said, the guy got up from the tatami and went outside to make a phone call.
After he left the room, Morita suddenly took out his cell phone and started making calls.
The call was connected in an instant, and the guy immediately said respectfully:
"Boss, that bastard Sean has entered our territory. He is raiding various antique shops and galleries and has found many valuable treasures."
"I'm going to take this opportunity to do a secret test to see the real purpose of that bastard coming to Tokyo..."
…
A street near Kyobashi.
While talking, Xiao Ran and the others came to the door of another antique shop.
This is a store that specializes in Western antiques and art. The decoration is also Western-style, in the Baroque art style.
In the display window of this antique shop, there are some Western oil paintings, sculptures, etc., which are very distinctive.
The antique shop owner who stood at the door to greet me was a mixed-race man who spoke fluent English.
After arriving at the door of the antique store and saying hello to the owner, Xiao Ran and the others were ready to enter the antique store.
At this moment, Anthony suddenly came over and whispered:
"Sean, I just received some important news and I need to report it to you."
Xiao Ran understood instantly and nodded immediately.
"Okay, let's go to the car and talk."
After saying that, he and Anthony walked towards the bulletproof SUV parked on the roadside.
Seeing this scene, Curator Qiangu and others stopped and did not enter the antique shop immediately.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran and Anthony had entered the bulletproof SUV and closed the door.
Then Anthony began to report the situation.
"The reinforcements from Los Angeles have arrived in Tokyo and just left Haneda Airport."
"A total of ten guys came this time, all with weapons and equipment. They were transported through the US military headquarters in Japan. It is completely legal!"
"It won't take long for these guys to arrive in Ginza. Should we let them come here, go to a hotel, or hide temporarily?"
After the words fell, Xiao Ran immediately gave the answer.
"Very good, now we don't have to worry about weak security forces."
"Later, inform the ten newly arrived guys and ask them to go to the hotel to rest, get rid of the jet lag, and be on call at all times."
"By the way, we'll take care of the escort vehicles and get some bulletproof SUVs!"
Anthony immediately nodded and said:
"No problem, I'll call them right away"
At this point, he suddenly changed his tone.
"I just received a call from that guy Turner. He told me that someone is secretly targeting you."
"The other party is a group of gangsters, but it's not the Sumiyoshi Kai. It's the Japanese gangster you asked Turner and the others to investigate!"
"Through phone tapping, while those guys were eyeing you, they also contacted some gang bosses in Osaka and Kobe and informed you of your situation."
"And those guys plan to secretly test you through the antique shops and galleries they control to determine your true purpose of coming to Tokyo. You should be more careful."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran sneered.
"I know who those gangsters are. They want to test me secretly. It sounds interesting!"
"I know this. I want to see how these Japanese scum plan to test me!"
While saying this, his eyes had penetrated the car window and looked at the crowd gathered across the street.
Among the guys watching the excitement, there were not only the eyes and ears of the Sumiyoshi Club and the Inagawa Club, but also some other gangsters!
These gangsters pretending to be passers-by were watching Xiao Ran closely and reporting his every move.
But how could these scum know that in Xiao Ran's eyes, they had no way to hide.
Even their boss is under the close surveillance of Turner and other CIA agents, and there is no secret at all!
In front of the antique store.
Xu Lin, Wang Jue and the others stood together with David, laughing and chatting in low voices, all beaming with excitement.
Seeing that they were far away, the director of the Tokyo Museum of Art suddenly whispered:
"Gentlemen, should we do something? We can't let this guy Sean be so crazy and loot the Tokyo antique art market!"
"All the unknown leaks in the antique shops and galleries he visited before were wiped out by this guy!"
"In just a few hours, he swept away more than a dozen pieces of antique art worth over ten million dollars, and the rest of the treasures are also worth a lot of money!"
"If this crazy guy is allowed to continue his raids, the Tokyo antique art market will be severely damaged, and it won't be able to recover for a long time!"
The big figures in the Japanese antiques industry at the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone's expressions were very solemn.
After a while, Curator Qian Gu said helplessly:
"Everyone knows the seriousness of the matter and has witnessed it all with their own eyes!"
"But how do we stop this crazy guy Sean? Should we ban him from acquiring the antique artworks he likes? That's unrealistic!"
"Everyone knows very well that every amazing discovery he makes is based on his outstanding eyesight, and every transaction is open, transparent and irreproachable!"
"We only realized the real value of those neglected antiques and artworks only after his reminder!"
"In this case, it's difficult for us to stop Sean. We can only watch helplessly as he crazily sweeps away all kinds of top antiques and art!"
At this moment, the director of Nezu Museum suddenly whispered:
"Can we privately notify some important antique shops and galleries to temporarily suspend operations, so as to avoid Sean's raid?"
"Just wait until this crazy guy leaves Tokyo and those antique shops and galleries can open their doors again, so as to avoid losses."
Before he finished speaking, several people, including Director Qian Gu, shook their heads.
"Absolutely not! If we do this, once the news gets out, the Japanese antique shop will never raise its head again!"
"This will cause even greater losses. It will turn the Japanese antique shop into a laughing stock and be looked down upon by colleagues in other countries!"
While they were talking, Xiao Ran and Anthony got out of the bulletproof SUV and walked straight to the door of the antique store.
Seeing this scene, Curator Qian Gu and others immediately chose to shut up.
They conspired to restrict Xiao Ran's idea of sweeping the Tokyo antique market, but it was stillborn!
