Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1138 - 1206: 'Knowledge' Astonishes All

Amidst the exclamations and cheers from around, Lin Hai smiled and gazed at the young man whose face had turned unpleasant, smiling as he asked, "So, how about it? Care to decipher my trick?"Face-smacking!

Absolutely face-smacking!

The young man's complexion instantly turned ashen, gritting his teeth, yet unable to react.

He couldn't figure out how Lin Hai performed the magic trick.

The Jerry'sNugget playing cards clearly only have two decks, but how did the second deck suddenly turn into Joker King!

"Damn it, why can't I see through it? Could it be that he's really better than me?"

"No! I've studied abroad for years, specializing in various insights. How could someone seemingly ordinary like him possibly be better than me?"

"Maybe it was just luck. He only knows this trick. If I chat about something else, he'll definitely falter."

"By then, just watch him make a fool of himself, and I'll reciprocate with a harsh face slap."

Determined, the young man forcibly put on a generous expression, even clapping his hands as he pretended to applaud, saying with a bright smile, "This gentleman's sleight of hand was truly an eye-opener, much admiration."

Lin Hai responded with a gentlemanly smile, a gesture that nearly made the eyes of surrounding maidens, noblewomen, and a few thirsty gals sparkle with heart-shaped infatuation.

Ouyang Xiaoya was also somewhat dazed, with conflicting emotions inside: "Can't deny, when this damn beast gets serious, he's truly devastatingly attractive to beauties. How did I not notice this before?"

"An encounter is fate, why don't we talk about something else?" The young man quickly shifted the topic, fearing further discussion of magic would leave his face slapped and swollen in various ways.

"Sure."

Lin Hai nodded readily, muttering inwardly, "Sh*t, still thinking of countering with your pretentiousness, let's play till the end."

Having achieved the title of King of Assassins, Lin Hai had spent considerable effort on almost every aspect of knowledge back in the day, browsing various global books and materials.

The young man coughed and explained slightly, "I really don't know much about magic, but I am very familiar with various global brands."

"As someone aiming to enter the upper echelons of business in the future, my family prioritized my study of various luxury brands."

Lin Hai listened to the other's pretentious words and sneered inwardly.

Various luxury goods?

Back in Europe, what luxury goods hadn't I seen?

Which item wasn't a luxury item on those noble girls and women?

"Oh? I'm also somewhat acquainted with major luxury brands," Lin Hai replied, following the other's lead.

"Really? That's great, shall we delve into it?" The young man was delighted, Lin Hai's answer being exactly what he wanted.

"Know of luxury clothing brands? I mean the older ones." The young man asked confidently.

Lin Hai nodded.

"I have a particular fondness for Versace." The young man smiled and gestured at his clothes, which were indeed Versace brand.

Lin Hai, calm and composed, replied, "I have a particular fondness for Donna Karan, LV, Chanel, Versace, Dior, Gucci, Valentino Garavani, PRADA, GUESS, Giorgio Armani."

"…"

The young man was stunned.

Sh*t, rattling off so many luxury brands in one go?

Especially some are so niche, he had to think hard to recall that they are luxury brands.

WTF!

Is this guy really a magician, or is he actually selling clothes?

"Uh, this gentleman indeed has vast knowledge, I wonder if you have any familiarity with jewelry?"

After saying this, the young man added casually, "I'm quite familiar with Cartier and Tiffany."

This time, he deliberately mentioned one more, to show he knows a lot.

"Oh, besides Cartier and Tiffany, I'm quite familiar with ENZO, Oxette, Boucheron, Swarovski, Mikimoto, Zhou Dafu, Georgjensen, Pomellato."

After a pause, Lin Hai also added, "The reason these brands can become world-renowned is because each product crafted by them is both exquisite and unique, with excellent quality and outstanding design especially favored by beauties."

After speaking, Lin Hai deliberately looked at each beauty around him.

This act of pretentiousness deserves at least a score of nine points.

The young man once again widened his eyes.

Various "WTF" and galloping curses ran through his mind.

Is this guy really not a magician, neither is he selling clothes, but actually owning a jewelry store?

Why on earth are there so many luxury jewelry brands all at once? Damn!

The young man felt extremely dissatisfied and spoke again: "Actually, my deepest knowledge is about watches, and I know the top ten watch brands."

"Ahem, the top ten luxury watch brands: Omega, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Earl, Vacheron Constantin, Rolex, Cartier, Audemars Piguet, IWC, Breguet, Patek Philippe."

Lin Hai answered directly, giving the other party no chance to show off.

He immediately listed the top ten luxury watch brands and added, "A watch truly worthy of being called a collectible, regardless of the brand, is the crystallization of thought, a pursuit of the perfect fusion of aesthetics and skill. Different brands cater to the tastes and trends of different eras."

This unique insight almost captures the essence of why watches are so precious and admired.

Ouyang Xiaoya's beautiful eyes sparkled in extreme amazement.

People around were almost led to applause by Lin Hai's fluent introduction and calm demeanor.

The young man's face couldn't conceal his blue rage.

What on earth does this guy do? Is he not a magician? Not a clothing seller? Not a jewelry seller? Is he selling watches?

"I refuse to believe this sh*t today!"

The young man's breathing became a bit unstable; he gritted his teeth and tried hard to scavenge his brain for knowledge.

"No, this time I need to bring out something grander, bigger things. This guy focuses on small exquisite items, surely he's not familiar with big objects. There can't be someone who knows everything, humph!"

With that in mind, the young man spoke again: "Let's talk about the top ten yachts?"

After saying this, he was no longer in a hurry to display his skills and wanted to see Lin Hai's reaction first.

Ouyang Xiaoya tensed up again inside.

The top ten yachts? The beast seems to have rarely even been on a boat. Would he know?

"The top ten yachts: Riva, WALLY, Sunseeker, Beneteau, Bertram, Princess, FEADSHIP, Larson, Ferretti, PERSHING."

Lin Hai responded fluently.

"This..."

The young man's eyes widened.

There was an extreme sense of frustration within him that couldn't dissipate for a long time, almost spewing a mouthful of old blood.

What kind of existence is this person? The stuff I've painstakingly learned over the years, he not only knows it all but seems to understand it better than I do.

"No way, I need to take the initiative."

The young man decided to change tactics this time and asked, "Sir, if you can say something I don't know, I will concede defeat."

"There's no need to concede defeat; winning and losing are all clouds, haha. I'm just discussing with you," Lin Hai replied with a boastfully magnanimous tone.

The young man was so angry that he almost crushed his teeth, but still held his last breath, word by word, "I am all ears!"

"Alright, the top ten lighter brands: GIVENCHY, Cartier, Dupont, Bic, IMCO, ZIPPO, Dunhill, Parker, Colibri, Flamidor."

"The top ten high-end smoking equipment: Zig-Zag, GIZEH, Colibri, Dunhill, STANWELL, VAUEN, Mastro de Paja, Peter Matzhold, Savinelli, Chacom."

The young man's eyes changed.

Lin Hai continued to introduce: "The top ten cigar brands: Cohiba, Albero, Davidoff, Saint Laurent, Dannemann, Owen, La Escepcion, Montany, Punch, Partagas."

"The international top ten famous liquors: Absolut Vodka, Hennessy, Johnnie Walker, Chivas, Moët et Chandon, Remy Martin, Martell, Bacardi, Cardhu, Johnnie Walker."

Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes also changed. Does the beast have a Baidu encyclopedia in his head? His speech was fluent, as if it required no thought, effortlessly mentioning high-end and classy items.

Is this still the low-end sleazy Healthcare Lin?

Totally like two different people.

Especially his gestures exuding an innate grandeur, as if Lin Hai was naturally the prince born with a silver spoon from an overseas financial aristocratic family.

"The top ten golf equipment: Dunlop, TaylorMade, Adidas, Nike, Ben Hogan, Etonics, Wilson, MacGregor, Callaway, Ping."

He can even list the top ten golf equipment!

"The top ten foreign luxury car brands: Ferrari, Ford, Volkswagen, BMW, Lotus, Bentley, Cadillac, Fiat, Audi, Rolls-Royce."

"This..."

The young man's mouth was wide enough to swallow several soccer balls.

The people around were also stunned by Lin Hai's vast knowledge.

Lin Hai continued to eloquently speak: "The top ten leather goods, the top ten cosmetics, the top ten luxury eyewear, the top ten famous pen brands..."

After naming dozens more, Lin Hai stopped, not because he listed them all, but because he was just too—parched, ahem.

"Brother, I'll call it a day today. Do you have anything to add?" Lin Hai asked the young man with a playful smile.
