Chapter 253 - Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Antique Business (2/2)
“If I’m not mistaken, this sword must be a treasured one, and it was broken three months ago. It was only treated with a special method, and the gemstone set in the hilt is made of synthetic cubic zirconia.”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man completely panicked and turned to run away, but two bodyguards who were already standing behind him immediately grabbed his shoulders and pinned him down to the ground.
Victor flew into a rage and slammed the table hard.
“Well, you’ve really got some nerve, trying to deceive William’s family with this scam!”
The man had already been scared out of his wits and knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing.
“Mr. Victor, I assure you this has nothing to do with me; I’m just following someone else’s orders. They gave me this sword and asked me to bring it here!”
Victor went straight up to him, grabbed the man’s collar, and hoisted him up.
“Who are they?”
“The Illuminati!” When the middle-aged man uttered these three words, everyone in the room was momentarily taken aback.
Chen Yu, however, appeared extremely composed; he had heard of this organization before.
It was said that this organization could control the elements in the Western world, with immense power.
Yet he did not expect these people to be engaged in making forgeries, and even selling their creations to William’s family.
Chen Yu coughed lightly and with a strange look in his eye, stared at the kneeling middle-aged man.
“I’ve heard that the Illuminati has many antiques from the East. I wonder if that’s true. Could you take me to see them?”
The middle-aged man’s eyes widened with a look of terror as he gazed back at Chen Yu.
“Indeed, there are many treasures from the East over there, but all the treasures are locked away in a very secretive vault that no one can find. Even members of the Illuminati need to gather ten keys to get in!”
Chen Yu’s interest intensified, “No matter, I relish a challenge.”
The middle-aged man was already scared out of his wits, knowing that if the higher-ups of the Illuminati found out he had led an outsider into the vault, they would tear him to pieces.
“Please, sir, I’m not ready to meet God just yet!”
Chen Yu’s voice suddenly turned icy, grabbed the other’s throat, and pressed him hard against the ground.
“If you don’t take me there, I can send you to meet God right now!”
Stifled with dread, the middle-aged man did not dare say more and quickly sketched out a map.
After a brief word with Victor, Chen Yu left with the middle-aged man.
In fact, besides the current factories and shops, what Chen Yu truly wanted to do was to deal in antiques.
It wasn’t so much the profit that derived from it, but rather Chen Yu wanted to recover all the cultural treasures that had been scattered abroad.
Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, Chen Yu soon arrived at a bar that seemed exceedingly secret.
The exterior of the bar was very run-down; one would not even notice its existence without looking carefully.
But upon entering the bar, Chen Yu was astounded by everything inside.
This place could no longer be considered a bar, but a hall!
