"Please come in." The door opened, and the two turned their heads to see a Caucasian woman who was wrapped in a tight purple dress, her hair was pulled high, and she was full of jewels came in.

"Good evening, Mrs. Ivanov." Lucas hurriedly got up and walked over, kissing the back of the woman's outstretched hand.

"Mr. Constantine, long time no see, you still look good." The woman looked at the young man in front of her with a smile.

"You are getting more and more beautiful." Lucas replied.

"This is?" Mrs. Ivanov looked at Leo.

"This is my friend, Mr. Li." Lucas introduced Leo by the arm.

"Good evening, ma'am." Leo kissed his hands like a gourd painting.

"Well, the people around you are different every time. What was the name of that handsome guy last time?"

"This is the third time we've met, right? You have a good memory. Did you see anything you like?" Lucas changed the subject.

"Ah, I heard that there is a certain queen's necklace, is there such a thing?" Mrs. Ivanov's eyes lit up.

"That's right, but it's said that several people are inquiring about it. You need to work harder." Lucas said with a smile.

"I brought all the money from my house, and I'm going to buy it as a wedding present for my daughter." Mrs. Ivanov smiled happily.

"That's a happy event. If you take the picture, I will tell the manager to lower the commission as a congratulatory gift."

"That's a deal. Wish me luck." Mrs. Ivanov waved away.

The two returned to the house and closed the door.

"The people around you are different every time?" Leo raised the corner of his mouth.

"Uh, the last time I saw her was probably last year. It was my ex-boyfriend. I was kicked out shortly after that. Poor? Before that, I don't remember. There are auctions almost every month. I'll come and see if I'm in the mood." Who knows who she takes as my lover." Lucas sat on Leo's lap, held his face and kissed him fiercely, "Now you are my most precious."

"Go down, it's not good for people to see." Leo pushed him.

"No one dares to come in." Leo leaned on the back of the sofa.

"Lucas." The door was pushed open suddenly, and the person who came saw that the situation in the room was not right, and hurriedly retreated to close the door.

"Fuck. Here comes the troublemaker." Lucas had to stand up, and Leo covered his mouth and smiled.

Lucas opened the door and walked out.Outside is Nathan.

"What's the matter?" Lucas asked with an unhappy face.

"Then who is it?" Nathan pointed his thumbs into the room.

"Leo, who else is there. Tell me, what's the matter?" Lucas crossed his arms across his chest.

"Oh. Another batch of new goods will arrive in a few days. Matisse said that it will be arranged on January [-]th, so you can take it when you have time."

"Well, I see, I'll wait for your call."

"I heard rumors that there is a Napoleon saber in this batch, and it was targeted by the famous thief Zoe. You have to pay attention to security."

"Don't worry, the security system has been updated. By the way, you should pay the final payment. Laura is a very reliable friend."

"Okay, I'll deal with it later. Then you guys have fun and contact inside if you have something to do."

Back in the room, the curtains on the coffee table had been drawn to both sides, Leo stood by the window and looked out.There is no one on the high platform in front of the sunken pavilion, only a table and a display table covered with purple velvet, and a large display screen on the background wall.There are seven rows of seats on both sides of the aisle below, already filled with people wearing various masks, men and women are all well-dressed, glittering with pearls.Leo and the others are on the second floor, with windows like this one-way perspective glass, Leo estimated that there are fifteen, that is to say, there are fifteen such rooms.The room they were in had a very good angle towards the raised platform.

"What are you looking at?" Lucas hugged Leo from behind.

"I'm counting how many people have come." Leo turned his head slightly.

"This auction hall can accommodate 300 people, but this time there are not many goods to be auctioned, and there are fewer people." Pulling Leo to sit down, Lucas clicked on the coffee table, and a twenty-inch height was raised in the center of the table. The size of the monitor, on the screen is the scene of the auction table.

"Look at this better," Lucas said.

"Is this your family business?" Leo asked, leaning on the sofa.

"No, my eldest brother cooperated with several friends. Matisse gave me a part of his shares as an adult gift. Later, a shareholder withdrew, and I bought his shares. Now, I am also one of the major shareholders .”

Leo raised his eyebrows, picked up the juice and took a sip: "It can't be seen from the outside that there is an auction house here."

"So, it's all a membership system. The woman just now is from Belarus. There are many rich people in the world, and collecting rare items is a way to preserve assets." Lucas stretched his waist.

"A rich man's game." Leo said, "Then you are also a rich man?"

"Haha, does your boyfriend look like that?"

Leo nodded.Lucas kissed him on the face: "But I think painting makes me the happiest, and you are by my side." He said, burying his head in Leo's shoulder.

"The hair is all messed up." Leo inserted his fingers into his hair and smoothed it out for him. "When we go out later, others will think that something happened to us."

"The place is too small to be comfortable." Lucas said with a frown.

"You're enough. Look, it's started." Leo hurriedly pushed his head away, and Lucas pulled him into his arms and circled him.

A middle-aged man in neat clothes and a woman in a milky white dress stepped onto the stage, and the venue fell silent.The two opened their opening remarks in one sentence in French and one sentence in English.A few minutes later, the auction officially began.A lady in a backless dress came up with a tray and put the tray on the display table. It was a milky white gilt-rimmed porcelain tray, which was also displayed on the various screens.Start bidding.

Leo and the two watched as the items below were photographed.When the pair of blue Limoges jugs he had seen before were served, Leo shouted: "Let's take a photo of these pair of jugs."

"You really like it?" Lucas pointed to the buttons on the side of the monitor and said, "You can operate it by yourself. I estimate it will be at most fifteen thousand dollars."

There were four people who participated in the auction for this pair of pot holders. Two of them gave up at around US$[-], and only one competed with Leo for US$[-]. In the end, Leo won the auction for US$[-].

"These jugs are yours." Lucas patted Leo on the shoulder and said.

"It's ours." Leo corrected.

"Okay, it's ours. That sounds good, ours." Lucas reached into Leo's back waistband, and Leo gave him a glare and took his hand out. "There's no end to hooliganism."

"Honey, there's nothing interesting next, let's go upstairs." Lucas said while kissing the corner of Leo's mouth.

"I want to see what's behind." Leo pushed his face away.

"Okay, okay, let the baby be happy." Lucas asked the waiter to bring a plate of nuts, and the two watched while eating.More than two hours passed and finally arrived at the project on the last page.

The first thing brought up was a box, and when it was opened, it was a stone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the two dinosaur egg fossils found in Antarctica, and only one is shown here. Not long ago, there were news reports that nearly a ton of dinosaur fossils were found in Antarctica, and this is one of them. The difference is that this is one of the very few dinosaur fossils that have been detected with an embryo in the center. According to the evaluation of experts, the scientific research value of these two fossils can be compared with the value of Diplodocus egg fossils discovered in the United States three years ago. Now the two The starting price is US$80, with an increase of US$[-] each time. Start now."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, there were continuous calls for bids, and the competition was fierce.In the end, a woman wearing a fox mask bought the two fossils for $130 million.

"It seems that the asking price is not as high as the mansion in the eighth district in front. Why is it placed in the back?" Leo asked.

"It's rare because it's expensive. There are houses everywhere, and there are only a hundred such dinosaur egg fossils in the world." Lucas stuffed a nut into Leo's mouth.

"It is estimated that some organization bought it for research." Leo guessed.

"Maybe." Lucas shrugged and pouted, "Just don't breed real dinosaurs."

"Ha." Leo handed a glass of water to Lucas' mouth.

Next, a young girl brought up a tray with a transparent box on top of which was a thin tube filled with light blue liquid.Leo couldn't understand the auctioneer's explanation. There were a lot of technical terms. He only roughly understood that it was a kind of biocatalyst, which was obtained by chance from an experiment. It can be used on the human body to improve immunity and prolong life.He turned to ask Lucas, but Lucas just shrugged and said he didn't know what it was.

This liquid medicine was finally auctioned by a young man for US$580 million.

"It's really worth it." Leo smacked his lips.

"A rich man's life is worth a fortune." Lucas struggled hard with the nutshell.

"How much are you worth?" Leo teased him.

"Would you like to quote a price?" Lucas chuckled.

"Well, priceless." Leo winked at him.

"Honey, I love you so much." Lucas hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.

Next, there is no real thing, just the screen display.There are many photos in the picture, all kinds of guns and ammunition, and Leo saw some familiar models.Next, a detailed text description.

"What's going on?" Lucas sat up straight, pressed a button on the table, and soon a voice came: "Lucas."

"What's the matter with the weapon? I didn't receive any notice in advance." Lucas was a little displeased.

"It was temporarily commissioned by a guest here. Don't worry, we won't be held accountable." Nathan's voice was calm.

Lucas thought for a while and said, "Okay, Lishou is not responsible. Remember, we don't have that many transportation security forces."

"clear."

Lucas hangs up the call.

This batch of arms was finally sold for 700 million US dollars.The buyer was the person behind a window opposite.
