Chapter 492 The Auction
The day before the charity auction, Daryl stayed at home playing cards with Raelyn, Luca and Benjamin to kill time.
As soon as Zack came back, he showed her the pictures of the ancient painting he had taken.
As expected, Daryl was shocked to see it, but she still didn't understand.
"Your charity auction will begin tomorrow evening."
Then she turned to Zack who sat by her side and asked, "Is the security there very strict?"
"Well, not bad."
Zack said calmly, "It's quite strict."
As he spoke, he helped her play the cards.
"Bingo, I won."
When Zack said in a low voice, the others began to wail.
Luca was not good at playing mahjong, so he didn't feel anything. But the other two were very sad.
They hadn't finished the good cards in their hands yet, but Zack defeated them directly as soon as he arrived. Daryl was busy chatting with him, but she didn't notice that she had won directly. She smiled in surprise. "Zack, you are so awesome!"
"Uh huh."
Zack put his arm around her shoulder and looked at her cards indifferently.
Soon, with his help, the other three people never have a chance to win again.
"Let's stop play. Daddy is partial. You just help Mommy."
"Cousin, you are just a game devil!"
"Forget it. Let's play games."
Benjamin, Raelyn and Luca left one after another directly.
Daryl had no choice but to take a look at Zack next to her and said jokingly, "Look at you. You have beaten them away!"
"That's because they are not good at it,"
Zack said indifferently. There was a trace of pride in his tone.
"Humph! You are the best!"
Daryl pushed him with a smile and asked seriously, "By the way, will you come back very late tomorrow night?" "Maybe."
Zack thought for a while and said in a low voice, "If it's too late, don't wait for me. Go to bed early."
"Okay."
Daryl nodded. Then she changed the subject and suddenly asked, "Will you take a female companion with you?"
"I have a female companion, but she doesn't want to go."
Hiding a smile in his deep eyes, Zack looked at her and said, "I can only take a few of my men in."
"Good boy!"
Daryl pinched his face and said, "Don't get too close to other women, okay? I will smell if there is any perfume on you when you come back!" "Yes, Mrs. Ji."
The next day.
Before Zack went to the auction, he looked at Dillon, Rollins and Hale who followed him.noveldrama
After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "If any lady wants to say hello to me after entering the venue, you can block in front of me." Both Rollins and Hale were stunned, but only Dillon quickly responded yes.
They looked at each other and then agreed.
When it was about time, Zack took them to the bank to take out the painting. Joey and his men were already there waiting to meet them.
"Coming?"
"Yes."
"Let's go inside. This bank is really good. I won't let anyone in even if he is the emperor if you are not here! To be honest, Zack, how much did you spend to keep the painting here?"
Joey said half jokingly.
"I don't spend any money for it. They agree to keep it as soon as they see my face,"
Zack said seriously and then walked inside.
After hearing what he said, Joey cursed in his heart that this man was so shameless, and then followed in.
He led them to bring the painting and soon went to the venue.
"Mr. Ji."
Several experts whom Zack met were waiting at the backstage of the venue. When they saw Zack, they all came up to him.
In fact, their eyes were still fixed on the box behind Zack.
"Everything is in there. Let's go inside first,"
Zack said indifferently. Then he led them into the protection area.
Many traps and passwords were set in the protection area of the painting. Some of the passwords were known only by Zack.
After they entered the protection area, Zack ordered Dillon, who stood behind him to open the painting and put it in the bulletproof glass box.
When Dillon and Rollins slowly unfolded the painting together, the experts around Zack couldn't help but widen their eyes! It was still the original one!
The security at the backstage was very strict. In addition to the protection area in the painting, there were several other areas.
Clarence also came with Candida. When they came in, they only saw people coming with invitation cards in the reception area. They didn't see Zack and others for the time being.
"I need to go to the bathroom first,"
Candida said to Clarence next to her.
"Okay."
After Candida left, Julio walked towards him from not far away.
"People and things are at the backstage."
"Keep an eye on them for the time being. Don't act rashly. Let's take action after Zack comes out with his men."
"Okay."
The two of them only talked for a short while and then separated again.
With champagne in his hand, Zack looked for someone in the large reception area and finally saw Joseph's people near the door!
"Joseph, long time no see."
"Adam, you are here too."
Joseph was more than seventy years old, with white hair. He was a typical European with deep facial features. Although his blue eyes were turbid, they were as shrewd as an old fox. "Of course."
Clarence smiled. "I know you are here for that painting, but you should know that it won't be auctioned."
"I've already known this news."
Joseph frowned and said, "But I will definitely talk to your brother."
Joseph thought that in the past, no
matter how much money and
shares were given to Anders, he would not sell the painting. But as a businessman, Zack would not be as ruthless as his Grandfather Anders.
He would have a way to persuade a businessman who
valued money!
"I know he has been talking business with your son recently."
Clarence said unhurriedly, "But you may not know that he has found several other companies apart from your son!"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Look at the familiar faces over there. He came to you just to use the fame of this painting to attract business and investment."
Clarence said, "In other words, even if you want to get that painting, you won't be the only one who want it."
Joseph wouldn't care about others. But he happened to see several acquaintances, who were his opponents before an also the opponent of his son when he took over the company! Although those people couldn't defeat his family if they fight them alone, it would be difficult to say if they united.
It seemed that Zack was really a
businessman. He knew that eggs couldn't be put in the same basket But it also aroused Joseph's antipathy. It seemed that Zack's
action was an invisible threat to him.
