Chapter 1396: 350: Shocking, Is that Viola Thompson!?_4 Chapter 1396: 350: Shocking, Is that Viola Thompson!?_4 Miyamoto Hoya laughed, “How could I refuse such a dinner invitation from two beautiful ladies? Allow me to do the honors. Please feel free to order anything.”
With that, Miyamoto Hoya called over a waiter and said, “We won't be ordering individually. Please bring us all the signature dishes in the house.”
As a man, he had to show some authority.
And when wooing women, you need to be generous.
Being a high-end restaurant, the waiters are used to such gestures, wealthy young men courting ladies is nothing new!
Nothing unusual about it.
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
Seaton glanced at Miyamoto Hoya.
If she had been an inexperienced country girl, she might have been awestruck by Miyamoto Hoya's gesture and might have been swayed by his wealth and influence.
But who was she?
A royal family member from Cigacan.
Growing up, was there any spectacle that Seaton hadn't witnessed?
Soon, the dishes were served.
Karina glanced at Seaton, then lifted her glass, “Mr. Miyamoto, this toast is from us sisters to you.”
Seaton continued, “Mr. Miyamoto, we toast to you as a sign of respect.”
With that, the two sisters drained their glasses in one gulp.
As both women were so forthright, Miyamoto Hoya couldn't lag behind. He, too, immediately raised his glass and emptied it.
Setting down his glass, Miyamoto Hoya poured another for himself, “To our esteemed guests, I raise my glass to you.”
“Thank you.” The sisters raised their glasses again.
After a round of toasting, the atmosphere became slightly tipsy. Karina spoke again, “Mr. Miyamoto, actually, the reason my sister and I wished to meet with you is that we have something to discuss.”
“I felt an immediate connection with you two. Feel free to speak your minds. There's no need for restraint.”
Karina set down her glass and got straight to the point, “Mr. Miyamoto, actually, the reason we have come to Sinian Country this time is due to one person.”
“Who?” asked Miyamoto Hoya.
“Number 26 from the Underground City auction,” Karina replied.
Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Hoya's expression changed.
Karina continued: “Mr. Miyamoto, I was also there at the auction. I was Number 214. I was the one who was deliberately led astray by Number 26 and ended up spending 1.5 billion on a broken bowl.”
As she said this, rage filled Karina's face.
Because nobody had ever dared to trick her like this before.
1.5 billion!
Exactly 1.5 billion!
After coming to Sinian Country, she had researched the market. In Sinian's antique market, a similar blue and white porcelain bowl cost only ten thousand dollars, and it even came with a buy-one-get-three-free offer!
The equivalent of the dollar is less than four thousand.
She felt like a truly wronged person.
What was even more infuriating was that the incident was deliberately publicized, and now everyone knew about the two victims who were severely duped at the auction.
Even Karina's father, during a call with Karina, had mentioned the incident.
But what old Bunger didn't know was that one of the victims was his own daughter!
At her words, Miyamoto Hoya narrowed his eyes, a feeling of humiliation rising in his heart.
Wasn't he too, one of the duped ones!
That man's painting was worth one million but he had ended up buying it for three billion.
He was an even greater fool than her.
Upon hearing Karina's words, Miyamoto Hoya felt a sense of shared suffering.
A moment later, Karina looked at Miyamoto Hoya and continued, “So, Mr. Miyamoto, let's join forces.”
Collaborative win!
After all, they share a common enemy.
Half-closing her eyes, Karina continued, “The fact that Number 26 openly provoked us at the auction indicates that he definitely knows our identities, and he did it on purpose. Moreover, he is confident that we will never find him. Indeed, I am also aware that Number 26's identity in Sinian Country is not a simple one, otherwise, there wouldn't have been no progress after so many days of investigation.”
Her words were indirectly telling Miyamoto Hoya that they had to combine forces in order to find Number 26 and claim back their dignity.
As long as they cooperated, they need not fear the power Number 26 held in Sinian Country.
Miyamoto Hoya didn't immediately respond to Karina's words. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, as he was still hesitant.
Karina was in no hurry. She took a sip of her drink and waited for Miyamoto Hoya's response.
Seaton became somewhat anxious. She wanted to say something several times, but was restrained by Karina's gaze each time.
After some time, just as Miyamoto Hoya was about to reply, Karina spoke again, “Mr Miyamoto, there's no need for you to be worried. If you are reluctant, my sister and I won't force you. However, I still believe that this is a mutually beneficial situation. In these special circumstances, we should be helping each other rather than being suspicious. If it's just suspicion, then it's not interesting anymore.”
