Chapter 958 Time
Los Angeles, Castle of Dreams.
The neat convoy went straight to the castle along the highway. Hogg, who was old and frail, insisted on waiting in front of the gate with his servants.
"Hogg." As soon as the car was stable, Li Zitao pushed the door and walked down, giving Hogg a warm hug.
The twins also ran over quickly, chatting non-stop around Hogg.
For them, Hogg was like a relative. Apart from their mother, it was the housekeeper who spent the most time with them and taught them many things since they were young.
"Master Aiden, Master Mason...you have grown into a strong young man." Hogg said with some emotion.
The two of them were ignorant and ignorant, and the days when they surrounded him asking questions every day seemed to be just around the corner, 'How time flies! '
At this time, Mary also came over and hugged Hogg gently like a family member.
This kind of treatment made every servant envious, but they also knew that this kind of thing would never happen to anyone again.
Although his physical strength was not as good as before, it did not affect Hogg's authority in the hearts of the servants.
Leaning on crutches, he slowly accompanied them to the underground vault, and Hogg also arranged the work of the castle servants in an orderly manner.
In his opinion, today is very different from the past. After the master returns, everything must be perfect, so he will come out in person.
Usually, these tasks are handed over to the supervisor who stays here, and the daily needs and expenses are also regularly communicated to the new housekeeper in New York, Farandi.
"Just get here. I'll have someone prepare lunch first. The room has been taken care of. You can go to your own room to rest after the end."
When he came to the iron gate outside the vault, Hogg stopped and finished speaking, then slowly turned back and left with a cane.
"He looks much older." Mary whispered after Hogg left.
"Yes." Li Zitao's tone was somewhat dull. He could see that Hogg's life was coming to an end.
"His spirit is good, I hope he can find peace." Aiden and Mason did not shy away from the topic of death.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, and the two of them understood this truth very early on.
Now,
They only hope that one night, Hogg can leave with a smile in his dream, this is the last tenderness for him.
"Okay, it's time to welcome the surprise." Interrupting the unpleasant topic, Li Zitao pressed the electric bell next to the door.
The small window on the iron gate was pulled open, and the guard inside opened the iron gate after seeing the person clearly.
"Boss." After the door opened, the first thing he saw was the smiling monk.
He has been waiting here since all the things arrived, so he also saw the most mysterious Li's vault to the outside world.
In his opinion, the things treasured inside are no less valuable than the value he brought back this time.
Only in terms of quantity, the temple treasures he found are better... about dozens of chips.
"Thank you, I believe this is the last time." Li Zitao was implying that he would stay in the United States.
And the monk just smiled and didn't object, which made him affirm his guess.
"Open the door." He said to the two special guards in charge of the safe of the vault, and Li Zitao and his party also took two steps forward and stood in front of the blast-proof door of the vault.
The last defense of the vault was opened, and the golden light shone all over the place in an instant, Li Zitao just wanted to yell, "Damn it." '
Now is the best time to experience what it feels like to be blinded.
The vault, which had been empty before, was now full, and Li Zitao, who was standing in front of the door, felt that he had nowhere to go.
It is full of statues inlaid with natural gemstones and emeralds, and there are countless piles of gold coins, gold chains, gold bricks, and ornaments.
Sculptures of different styles, the most striking is the coffin in the middle.
If you change the place, this is definitely a peerless archaeological discovery.
The owner of the skeleton in the coffin will also be crowned with various wonderful life experiences and names.
The richest, mysterious, brutal, terrible, revered...
Now these are no longer important, leaving it only the only title; collections.
No...it should be from the Li family's collection, it sounds more pleasing to the ear.
"Boss, do you want someone to open it?" The monk approached and asked.
"No." The reason for Li Zitao's refusal was not because he was not curious about the contents of the coffin.
It's that he knows very well that the current technology cannot achieve the best protection preparation at all.
It would be fine if it was just gems, diamonds, gold and silver.
But if there is really a pharaoh's mummy inside, if you are not careful, you can only receive a handful of white ash.
It's better to let it rest in it first, and don't disturb its dormancy.
"Father, do you want to evaluate the value?" Aiden asked curiously after leaving the vault.
As for the shock, it was still there when I first saw it, but after thinking about it again, I think it's nothing.
Compared with before, it is just more gold and collections.
Uh... and a coffin that looks more like a craft than a dead man's box.
"No, let's talk about it later!" Li Zitao shook his head.
The newly arrived collection will be classified and registered within the next two months. As for the specific value, Li Zitao has no plan to classify and evaluate.
At least for now.
According to his plan, the collection in the vault will become the collection of the Lee Family Museum in the future, and it will only be used for exhibition or research.
The establishment of this museum will serve as part of the proof of his existence and the splendor of Lee.
Money, he is not short of now.
Therefore, he began to hope to leave more traces in this world.
Everyone wants to be famous in history, even a saint is no exception. When he is alive, he needs to keep a low profile and not be disturbed.
After death, it may be a good choice to live forever.
No matter what posterity thinks of him, at least the world knows that he has been here and has left some ink and ink in the modern history of mankind.
"Playboy... this one didn't run away." Thinking of this, Li Zitao smiled smugly.
There's nothing wrong with the Playboy, at least he has slept with the goddess everyone yearns for, so it's good enough to be sore if you want to be sour.
What's more, there is no need to care about the remarks of lemon essence.
The collection work was handed over to Farland, the twins and Elizabeth volunteered to help, and Mary acted as the supervisor.
Li Zitao was very happy to leave this matter to them, and got away to try to be quiet.
But things always come one after another. The share replacement negotiations between ARC and Mellon are coming to an end, and then he, the big boss, needs to come forward in person.
Sign an agreement and draw a perfect end to the negotiations between the two parties.
Because they did not want ATT to know about the shareholding increase, the two parties agreed that the share replacement will be carried out in a low-key manner and will not be announced to the public.
Although Li Zitao can only buy a short time, which will be disclosed soon, this time is enough for his next arrangements.
