Chapter 31 1.9
"Not this..."
In the lobby on the second floor, Kaxiu walked forward while touching the things around him that looked like antiques. Three minutes later, he put his hand down from an oil painting at the corner of the corridor, and then turned to look at the study not far away.
His shoes stepped on the ground silently, and Kaxiu stood in front of the study door. A man's voice was faintly heard from inside.
The content seemed to involve Spade A and the Sand Dust Organization. There should be two people in the study. One was Matthew and Phil's father who was on the phone with someone, and the other was the housekeeper of the villa.
Kaxiu captured a key piece of information in it.
Spade A wanted to retaliate against the actions of the Sand Dust Organization in recent months, and one of the locations was in Shirakawa City. Sand Dust got a batch of antiques of unknown origin in other counties and planned to transport them to Shirakawa City this month for antique exhibitions and antique auctions.
Some of the antiques seemed to have a sad story with a lot of gimmicks. I don't know if it was hyped up by Sand Dust or it was originally there. Anyway, these pieces are the finale of the auction.
Since the number of antiques is not small, if they are sold to the rich people in Shirakawa City and several nearby cities, Shachen will probably make a lot of profit. So Spade A decided to ruin the deal, and it would be best if the antiques could be intercepted during transportation.
Give Shachen a profound lesson.
"July 25, after midnight, the warehouse is located at No. 118, Beka Street, Shirakawa City. It is a black Futai car for transportation, and the escort personnel are three standard people, who may be armed..."
Whether it is possible to use it or not, Kaxiu wrote down this information first. Maybe it will be a life-saving straw at that time?
Things are unpredictable.
"Here." He finally found the source of the bitter smell. It is an antique vase used as a decoration at the door of the study. The overall white color and blue-green retro. There is a circle of light gold edges on the edge of the bottle, and a series of patterns extending to the bottom below.
Kaxiu tentatively pressed his thumb on it, and a familiar feeling came over his heart, and the cool air rushed into the wound crazily.
"Obsession energy: 1.1→1.2→1.3→1.4..."
"It's so cold." While Kaxiu felt the obsession energy rising, he also endured the cold that made his muscles stiff and tremble.
Ta...
The vase shook slightly and swayed gently.
The voices inside were silent.
Kacha! The door of the study was suddenly opened.
A burly middle-aged man in a white shirt and brown vest walked out. He had a majestic temperament, meticulous hair, brown beard, and sharp eyes. His deep facial features made people think of an eagle flapping its wings at a glance.
The man looked left and right in the corridor and found nothing. He closed the door again, and the sound of chatting with the butler came out.
"Go get 50,000 federal coins and put them in a file bag. I'll go down and thank Mr. Levi later."
"Wait, add another 20,000. 70,000 federal coins are ready..."
The living room on the first floor.
"Sorry, I suddenly have a stomachache and kept you waiting."
In the corridor, Kaxiu walked over.
"No problem." Matthew smiled slightly: "I was just talking to Phil about the Gray Seal Martial Arts School. He wants to learn some real fighting skills that can protect himself. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Mr. Levi in the next few months."
Beside him, Phil also looked over with some expectation.
"That's no problem. As long as you really want to learn fighting skills, you can definitely gain something by practicing with me for a while." Kaxiu returned to the sofa with a cane in one hand.
The three of them had just chatted for five or six minutes when a burly man in a white shirt walked down the stairs and came to the living room.
"Father."
Phil and Matthew stood up one after another.
"Mr. Jason." Kaxiu also stood up politely.
The man in front of him was Jason Hudson, the father of Matthew and Phil. He had a vague sense of majesty, and his powerful eyebrows and eyes were impressive.
"Haha, don't be shy, sit down and talk." Jason said to Kaxiu with a smile, and then pressed his right hand to signal everyone to sit down.
As soon as Kaxiu sat down, a brown file bag was handed over, which seemed to be stuffed with something.
"Mr. Levi, thank you for your help just now. Otherwise, my Phil would never see me again." Jason said while sitting on the sofa, pressing Phil's head with his hand.
"This is a little gift, please don't refuse." He stuffed the file bag directly into Kaxiu's arms and pulled his hand out very decisively.
"Then... I'll take it."
Kaxiu didn't have anything to be hypocritical about. He left Fengnan City and came to Baichuan City to apply for the coach of the Gray Seal Martial Arts Hall just to make money. If you want to practice Fengxiang Secret Martial Arts, special potions and ointments are indispensable, and these require a lot of money.
In addition, Kaxiu also has to find legendary antiques and obsession antiques as much as possible. Connections and financial channels are indispensable.
Maybe it's a good thing to get in touch with the Hudson family.
More than half an hour later, a cool breeze hit him in the face.
Kaxiu took a deep breath of the night air and turned back to look at the brightly lit gray-white villa. He looked at the upper right corner, and a hint of joy involuntarily appeared between his brows.
"Obsession Energy: 1.9"
Two obsession antiques, the purple wooden cane provided 1.1 obsession energy, and the white vase provided 0.8 obsession energy.
The energy source for the next backtracking has been prepared in advance. Kaxiu had some guesses in his mind that the obsession energy required for different backtracking nodes should be different, after all, that represents Levi's different periods of strength. The youth training camp incident in the first backtracking required a little obsession energy, and the battle of extermination should require more. However, no matter how much more, it should not reach two points of energy.
Mostly stable, which made Kaxiu feel at ease. Of course, Kaxiu will not stop looking for obsession antiques.
He would haunt the major antique shops in Baichuan City every other day, hoping to catch the big and small fish he wanted.
"It's actually 70,000 yuan, it's quite generous."
Kaxiu walked along the avenue to his residence, and took the opportunity to open the "thank you" Jason gave him. There were seven bundles of thick yellow banknotes in the yellow-brown file bag, each bundle had 100 bills, and each bill was 100 yuan in Hongli Federation currency.
You know, the Hongli Federation is one of the three major hegemonic countries in the world. The Federation currency is quite valuable and has good purchasing power.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the pharmacy to buy medicinal herbs, visit the antique shops in Baichuan City in the morning and afternoon, and go to the Gray Seal Martial Arts School in the afternoon..."
Kaxiu muttered to himself, his schedule for tomorrow seemed to be full. Although he was very busy, he felt a rare sense of fulfillment.
He walked forward along the avenue for a distance, and next to the sidewalk was a rectangular platform with a brass sign on it.
"At 7:30, the bus is gone. I wonder if there are still carriages now?" He walked to the platform with a cane in his right hand.
In the metropolis of the Hongli Federation, even in the first- and second-tier cities, carriages are basically extinct. Only small and medium-sized cities like Fengnan City and Baichuan City can occasionally see carriages.
More than a decade ago, carriages were still a very popular way of travel, but now they are gradually replaced by cars and buses.
A leaf fell from the ornamental tree on the roadside.
"Dinglingling."
Not far away, a black-capped double-horse carriage drove over.
The update time may need to be adjusted.
