Intrigued by what lay beyond the next room, Luo Feng was about to proceed when a symphony of automobile horns echoed from outside.
Honk. Honk. Honk.
The discordant sounds were unmistakable.
Out the window, Luo Feng spotted a fleet of official vehicles - all hailing from the Sakura Nation.
With immediacy, Luo Feng vacated the building.
"Mr. Luo, we deeply appreciate your efforts for our beloved Nara. The Prime Minister will shortly arrive to express his gratitude in person," said the arriving party, Yamamoto - the governor of Nara.
In his entourage were museum officials and his staff, their faces alight with anticipation.
However, Luo Feng, upon seeing their eager expressions, hesitated to disclose the truth.
"Is this their so-called gratitude?"
"What, they're showing their thanks? Planning to hand over an island, are they?"
"I feel a bit sick. Can they really be this overjoyed? It's just a bunch of relics!"
