Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 595 594 I want it all! (3rd Update)

"I want... all the cultural relics in the British Museum in England."

Qin Heng's voice echoed in the Xia Dynasty hall at the Beijing Expo Center, shocking everyone around him to the point of dizziness, stunned to the extreme.

Hexiangu, Wang Lingguan, and Xia Shuang, who was beside them, all felt their minds go blank. They stared at him in utter disbelief, their faces filled with incredulity!

What the hell! He's too strong! What did he just say!? Has he gone mad!? To want all the cultural relics in the British Museum!!? This is truly madness!

The British Museum in England is what people commonly call the British Museum.

Founded in 1753 and officially opened to the public on January 15, 1759, it is the oldest and most magnificent comprehensive museum in the world, and also one of the world's four largest and most famous museums. The museum has an extensive collection of many cultural relics and treasures from around the world, as well as manuscripts of many great scientists. Its wealth of collections and variety of types are rare among museums worldwide. It has a total of more than 8,000,000 items!

Among them, the Egyptian Rosetta Stone, the marble sculptures of the Athenian Parthenon, the Shang Dynasty Bronze Double Sheep Vessel, the Western Zhou Kanghou Bronze Gui, the Han Dynasty Jade-carved Dragon Charioteer, and other famous ancient cultural relics, are all part of the British Museum's collection!

And now, Qin Heng was actually saying he wanted all the cultural relics inside!?

My god! This is too terrifying!

Hexiangu, Wang Lingguan, and Xia Shuang were all dumbfounded! They had been scared silly by Qin Heng's words, standing there rigidly, like statues, motionless.

Although they also desperately wished to reclaim those Chinese cultural relics that had ended up in the British Museum, hoping to see those Chinese cultural relics that had drifted to England returned to their homeland, reason told them that this was truly too difficult! As tough as reaching for the heavens!

After Qin Heng put forward this request, their first reaction was that it was impossible! The British Museum housed treasures of civilizations from various countries around the world, each a rare gem. Taking out any single piece would make it priceless; in terms of Chinese yuan, its value would be in the hundreds of millions!

Moreover, the fact that the girl codenamed King Arthur had already agreed to compensate Qin Heng for his losses had already felt incredibly unbelievable to Hexiangu and Wang Lingguan. In their opinion, the right move now was to accept the offer and quit while ahead.

But Qin Heng had actually made such a demand!

The other side couldn't possibly agree, right!? How could they agree!?

"I am not the director of the British Museum, nor am I the current Prime Minister or Queen of England. However, regarding your request for the Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum, Sir, I can agree on behalf of those involved," the blonde girl said, her gaze gentle, seemingly breathing a sigh of relief. She then asked Qin Heng, "The number of these cultural relics is vast. How do you plan to arrange their handover?"

She agreed! She actually agreed!???

"Am I... am I hallucinating!!" Wang Lingguan muttered in disbelief. The other party had actually agreed to Qin Heng's demand to return all of China's cultural relics from the British Museum!? My goodness! What an incredible surprise!!

"This is great! Really great!!" Hexiangu was also extremely excited, her delicate body trembling slightly. She clenched her fists, trying to suppress her exhilaration.

"Qin Heng! You're amazing! Just amazing! Fantastic!!" Xia Shuang cheered inwardly, though she might have also exclaimed it aloud. She was very aware of how important those ancient cultural relics were to the Chinese people! They were the proof of the continuation of Chinese civilization, the great achievements of the Chinese nation!

Over the past few decades, to retrieve those cultural relics scattered abroad from England, the entire country had spent an immense amount of effort and financial resources, yet very few had actually been recovered! Now, simply because of a word from Qin Heng, all those cultural relics scattered abroad could be reclaimed!?

This is wonderful! Truly wonderful!! Returning all of China's cultural relics!!

This surprise was so immense that it almost made the three of them doubt whether they were dreaming or hallucinating.

"You, have you misunderstood something?"

Just then, Qin Heng suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's thoughts. Immediately, all eyes turned to him.

Could it be? Is he still not satisfied with this outcome? Returning all of China's cultural relics as compensation—is that not enough for him?

Hexiangu and Wang Lingguan instantly felt their hearts leap into their throats. What was he planning to do? Was he truly not afraid of provoking this Saint from Tianhai to fly over and start a war? In their hearts, King Arthur, a Saint of the Saint Realm, was undoubtedly one of the peak powerhouses in this world, perhaps only slightly weaker than the West Emperor and Prince East! In the database of the Myth Organization, this "King Arthur" was given extremely high priority, considered one of the most important foreign powerhouses! She was the successor to Briton's legendary Saint King Arthur, having stepped into the Saint Realm at the tender age of fourteen, with a near-perfect resonance with the Victory Oath Sword—a true Saint! Her strength was undeniable! It was rumored that some years ago, this noble and beautiful young Saint had defeated the leader of Mount Olympus—the Saint codenamed "Divine King Odin"—with a single sword strike! At that time, she was only fifteen years old! How could such a Saint tolerate such provocation? Even if Qin Xuantian's strength was immense, he was ultimately only at the peak of the Innate Realm! His defeat of the Semi-Saints on the Heavenly List was already an incredibly unbelievable feat. He was worthy of the title 'greatest through the ages,' yet there was an essential gap between Saints and non-Saints. Moreover, the Saint before them was far from ordinary! No matter what, Qin Xuantian couldn't possibly prevail over such a powerful Saint!

Now, Hexiangu and Wang Lingguan could only hope in their hearts that this "King Arthur" had not been provoked.

"Your Excellency, is there something else that dissatisfies you?" the blonde girl asked slowly. She did not appear angered, her emerald-like eyes shimmering. "Returning all of the cultural relics from the British Museum that belong to China is something your country has strived for for decades."

"Are your ears already failing you at such a young age?" Qin Heng's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the blonde girl and sneered. "What I want is all of the cultural relics in your British Museum, regardless of whether they are from China or not. I want them all! The cultural relics of China were ours to begin with. Your returning them is only proper; it's the rightful return of property. How could that count as compensation? Sending over the non-Chinese cultural relics as well—that would be true compensation! Do you understand?"

A century ago, the Divine Province had faced calamity, and Huaxia had suffered greatly, leading to countless cultural relics and treasures being scattered abroad! Numerous ancient stone implements, Shang and Zhou bronzes, Wei and Jin Buddhist scriptures and scrolls, Tang and Song paintings and calligraphy, Ming and Qing porcelain, and other national treasures that marked the pinnacle of various cultural eras in Chinese history! All were exhibited in Britain's British Museum!

This is a disgrace!

Now, Qin Heng was going to reclaim all these treasures that originally belonged to China but had been lost overseas!

Not only that!

The other cultural relics in the British Museum, those not from China!

He, too, wanted all of them!
