"Hello."
Kasu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Hello." Violet's voice was very cold.
The back door of the car opened, and Kaxiu sat in, with his arms folded across his chest. He looked at the back of Violet in the passenger seat, not because she had a graceful figure or outstanding looks, but because he could sense the murderous aura in her.
This murderous aura was not directed at him, but was a natural aura that had formed over the years. Kaxiu's perception of change was very sharp, so he was able to detect this hidden aura.
Obviously, this Violet is not Matthew's mistress or secretary, but a bodyguard. According to Kaxiu's guess, this woman should be related to Spade Ace...
The Sand Dust Organization had tried to assassinate Phil once, but failed because Kaxiu was standing by. They obviously won't give up, and the actions against Conan Company are probably still going on in secret. This woman codenamed Violet is probably sent by the Spade A Organization to protect Matthew, the general manager of Conan Company...
The car started and quickly drove into the wide street.
The place they were going to was the city museum in the central district.
There were no accidents along the way, about ten minutes later.
Kaxiu got out of the car and raised his hand to block the sun. It was a gray-white rectangular square. There were circular flower beds with flowers and plants around it, and street lamps stood on the edge. In the center was a circular white stone fountain, and the tiles were shining white in the sun. On the stone platform in the center of the fountain, there was a five or six meter high bronze statue of the first mayor of Shirakawa City.
On the black bench next to it, citizens would occasionally sit here and chat in the sun, or take out bread crumbs to feed the pigeons.
With two bangs, the car door closed.
Matthew and Violet also came down from above.
One is handsome and elegant, the other is pretty and delicate, they look like a couple. Kaxiu next to them looks more like a bodyguard.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look."
As Matthew spoke, he took out a black invitation from his arms, with a circle of light gold edging around the edge.
As the three of them started walking, a security guard in blue clothes came over. He saw the invitation in Matthew's hand and hurried over. After asking for his identity, he said that he would send his men to stand guard nearby to prevent Matthew's luxury car from being hit.
Then he looked at the three people with respect as they left.
Obviously, this is not an antique exhibition at all, but an upper-class exchange meeting. Even the museum security guards are fawning on them. Such enthusiasm must have been due to the fact that the White Rose Company has given them a lot of benefits.
After walking along the white stone road and making a few turns, a square museum appeared in front of everyone. It was very tall, with large transparent glass blocks on the side. A blue carpet was laid out from the inside to the outside at the entrance.
There were about a dozen or twenty security guards in blue uniforms walking around, some of them holding rubber sticks in their hands.
"Matthew?"
"Avel?"
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Yeah, long time no see!"
Near the entrance, a young man in a suit and tie came up to us. He also held a black invitation to attend the antique exhibition, and he seemed to be a friend of Matthew.
"Didn't you go to Donghai County with your father to do business? When did you come back?" Ma Xiu was also a little happy.
"The rubber business over there is not doing well, so my dad stayed there to run the branch company and asked me to go back to Beiliu County to handle the affairs of the head office. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to have tea with you. Today I just happened to have some time to attend the White Rose Antique Exhibition, and I didn't expect to meet you." Avel said with a smile.
"That's great, let's go together." Matthew smiled.
It is obvious that the relationship between the two is not ordinary. They may not be just ordinary friends, but most likely friends who have been playing together since childhood.
"Who are these two?"
Avel glanced at Violet and Kasu beside him.
"Oh, we are all friends, visiting the antique exhibition together." Matthew introduced: "This is Violet, and this is Levi."
The four chatted at the door for three or four minutes, and then walked towards the main entrance of the Municipal Museum together. After checking the invitation, they walked into the museum along the passage without any obstruction.
The interior of the museum is very spacious. The White Rose Antiques Company and the museum have coordinated. The city museum has temporarily lent the west exhibition hall to the White Rose Company to hold a theme antique exhibition for a period of time, and the White Rose Company has to pay a large sum of money.
But they are rich, and what stands out is their style.
Shirakawa City Museum has the best location, the largest area, and the most complete facilities. The brand of White Rose Antique Exhibition naturally chose this place. If it were a small place, it would be so embarrassing.
It's too boring, even upper-class people won't come.
"Young, Mr. Matthew."
"Matthew is here?"
As soon as everyone entered the exhibition hall, some people who were already in the hall looked over. Kangnan Company is a big company in Baichuan City, and the profits from the wine business are particularly amazing these days.
Naturally, Ma Xiu's status would not be low either.
He immediately smiled perfectly and walked over with an elegant demeanor. Avel and Violet also followed.
Only the tall and strong Kaxiu was left standing there.
Matthew had already told him that the White Rose Antiques Exhibition was a place for him to build connections. Kaxiu could look around by himself for the time being, and when the antique exhibition was over in the morning, Matthew would ask the organizer for Kaxiu.
After all, in principle, the goods that are still on display cannot be sold for the time being, otherwise what will the upper-class people who come later see
He slowly looked around the exhibition hall. The architectural layout of the city museum was indeed vast. Kaxiu was standing in the main hall, supported by marble columns. On the gray-black floor, there was a high counter at intervals.
Above the counter are the collections covered by glass.
At a glance, there are at least hundreds of pieces in the main hall.
There are also many passages on the left and right sides leading to the theme side halls. For example, one living room is full of antiques such as oil paintings and landscapes, and another is full of antiques such as porcelain bottles.
The collections brought by the White Rose Antique Company are probably more than those brought by the Shirakawa City Museum. It is indeed a big company.
Kaxiu walked quickly to the side and walked along the counter at the edge. A dozen meters ahead, a beautiful girl wearing a black dress and a metal nameplate on her chest was introducing the story of the collection inside the glass cover to the people around her.
"Miss, is there an ancient currency exhibition hall here?"
"Sorry, sir, there is no special exhibition hall. The currency collections are displayed in the same exhibition hall as the statue collections and landscape paintings. If you want to take a look, just go forward to the third wing." The girl had a professional smile on her face.
"Thank you." Kaxiu immediately walked over with a clear goal in mind.
He soon entered a side hall, the walls of which were covered with landscape paintings. There were also introduction papers under the frames, indicating the painter's era background and price.
In front of the landscape painting were collections covered by glass covers. Kaxiu looked over as he moved. Soon he found what he wanted to see, a rectangular display stand next to a marble column, with antique coins evenly arranged in glass covers.
The sunlight hit the table, and the raised crown logo on the surface of the coin was very conspicuous, with a crooked cross above the crown.
There is also a coin with its reverse side placed on the table next to it.
The number fifty is displayed on the face of the coin.
That's right, the Crown Cross. One hundred and fifty years ago, a bloody revolution broke out in the Principality of Lyent in the northern part of the Red Lebanese Federation. Emperor Wally IV was pushed to the guillotine, and the onlookers at the time threw a lot of coins, which were stained with blood.
The introduction next to the counter is similar to what my dad said.
Kaxiu glanced at the counter, then at the people next to him. There were relatively few people in this venue, and the only three or four people were admiring the landscape paintings on the wall. After he made sure that no one was looking at him, he gently tapped the bottom of the glass cover with his right hand.
Winter, a dull and light sound.
Kaxiu's finger was like a bullet, opening a gap between the glass cover and the glue connecting the table. Suddenly, a bitter air flowed out from the gap. Kaxiu's eyes lit up, and then he silently withdrew his right hand.
Unfortunately, the glass cover was tightly connected to the platform. If he wanted to open it, he had to take down the entire glass cover. Otherwise, he would have absorbed the obsession energy in the Crown Cross first.
Then consider buying coins for collection.
After looking around and finding that no one was watching him, Kaxiu tried to copy him step by step.
His body control was amazing, and he could move it freely. His fingers were like an electric drill, and he could easily peck a gap in the yellow glue layer without having to work on the entire surface of the glass cover.
In addition, his voice was quiet and his movements were concealed. In just five or six minutes, he had visited all the platforms in this side hall. Unfortunately, there were no antiques here.
So, Kaxiu turned his attention to other side halls.
He thought it would be hard to detect this method, and there were no cameras here, so people around him wouldn't notice Kaxiu's little move. Besides, even if he was discovered, what would happen? He just touched the edge of the glass cover and didn't move the antique inside. The collection had always been well placed on the platform.
This makes Kaxiu more confident and moves faster.
They searched five side halls in a short time, which was quite efficient.
But still, there was no gain.
This made Kaxiu a little frustrated. In such a large White Rose Antique Exhibition, he couldn't find a second obsession antique besides the Crown Cross. Wouldn't it be like looking for a needle in a haystack for him to find an obsession antique later? Wouldn't he have to rely on luck
No matter how helpless we are, we still have to keep looking.
Finally, in the second to last wing, wing number nine.
In the corner, Kaxiu's body shook slightly.
He clicked his tongue and lowered his head. Inside the glass cover was a bronze ring, crudely made and quite ugly.
However, this is an obsession antique!
The bitter taste in Kaxiu's mouth already told him the answer.
Taking a deep breath, Kaxiu wrote down the location information of the counter and then walked towards the last venue.
Five minutes later, he returned to the main hall.
In the spacious hall, upper-class people in suits and leather shoes walked back and forth, chatting and drinking hot tea. There were also some handsome young men and women gathered together to walk around, and their clothes and temperament were all good.
The only people who really looked like collectors were a dozen or so middle-aged or old men with bald heads, wearing casual pale yellow shirts and a pair of reading glasses, walking around and stopping.
He basically doesn't chat with people and only focuses on his collection.
Kaxiu immediately followed their example, starting from one corner of the counter and groping his way to other places step by step.
He was hunched over, silent and aloof.
The people around him naturally wouldn't make themselves look bad, and would often stand aside when Kaxiu came over and continue chatting with their friends. Kaxiu, on the other hand, would lie on the platform, poking his fingers at the edge.
In a few seconds, you can tell the authenticity.
Since the main hall has a large number of collections and a dense flow of people, Kaxiu is more cautious in his actions. He often pretends to be nonchalant at first, and then suddenly leans forward when the people around him look away.
So it took him a full half hour to complete his search.
"This entire White Rose Antique Exhibition is not even as good as the antique transport vehicle of the Sand Dust Organization..." Kaxiu couldn't help but complain in his heart.
There are only two obsession antiques in this wave.
One is the Crown Cross Coin that has been confirmed for a long time, and the other is the bronze ring in Exhibition Hall 9. Although there are gains, it is hard to say how much will be gained in the end. It mainly depends on the authenticity of the Crown Cross Coins. There are more than 100 in total, and I don't know how many of them contain obsession energy.
If it's like what Kaxiu did last time, a genuine Crown Cross coin is about 0.2 obsession energy, which is equivalent to the energy contained in half a normal obsession antique. I hope it can be more...
Just as he was lost in thought, there was a commotion not far away.
"Damn it! That bitch dares to hit me?! Fuck her!"
A black-haired young man was covering his left cheek with an angry look on his face.
There was a bright red palm print.
Opposite him was a slender and cool figure, bodyguard Matthew, the Violet with a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye.
I'm sorry that Kaxiu only remembered this, but the teardrop mole that added the finishing touch is indeed an impressive point.
A few dozen meters away, a bodyguard behind the young man rushed over. He had no intention of showing mercy to the young woman and punched directly at Violet's chest with great speed and force.
"Oh? This guy has practiced martial arts."
Kaxiu walked over and narrowed his eyes.
On the other side, Violet took a step back. She stepped sideways and dodged the fist quickly. Then her long, round, tight legs soared up and swept diagonally, hitting the bodyguard's waist with a snap.
"This Violet also knows some fighting skills, but it doesn't seem to be very high, probably around the third level of fighting skills." Kaxiu walked over leisurely: "The fighting power of the bodyguards sent by the Spade A organization can't be so poor, so she should be more proficient in gun skills."
In the distance, two bodyguards rushed over from behind the young man.
There were three big men in total, each of whom seemed to have mastered two or three levels of fighting skills. At this moment, they surrounded Violet.
"Damn, I can't bring the gun in, it's troublesome..."
Violet felt a little heavy in her heart and narrowed her eyes.
Suddenly, a tall figure pushed through the crowd and squeezed in: "Make way."
