Chapter 1286 Stealing is of course different from robbing

An old man with chestnut hair and a pair of reading glasses looked up helplessly and glanced at Steve, his eyes full of helplessness.

"My Lord President, I don't believe you don't recognize this thing."

If Steve couldn't recognize this thing, he would have to wonder if Steve was already blind.

Sure enough... after hearing the old man's words, Vilia couldn't help but look at Steve with deep meaning.

When Steve heard this, his face was full of helplessness, "Dear William Mountbatten, you should understand that this is not a trivial matter."

In the British Empire, true nobility can be reflected in their surnames.

For example, Windsor.

The surname of the British royal family is "Windsor".

Therefore, the Kingdom of Great Britain is also called the House of Windsor.

In addition to Windsor, Great Britain also has many surnames full of glory and power.

For example, Arthur, Elizabeth, or Mountbatten...

These surnames have appeared in the titles of the British royal family more than once.

And obviously, the old man with chestnut hair in front of him is a noble.

When William Mountbatten heard this, he nodded thoughtfully. This thing is indeed extraordinary.

Can the things of the British royal family be simple anymore?

If it were ordinary things belonging to the Royal Family of Great Britain, they wouldn't take it too seriously. After all, there have been too many things leaked out of the Royal Family of Great Britain over the years.

But this thing is different...

One of the greatest headdresses in British history!

You know, this is a heirloom of the Portland family.

The hostess of the Portland family once wore it and participated in several coronation ceremonies of the King of Great Britain.

If that's all it is, forget it.

The key is that this thing was stolen from the Portland family collection!

The experts from MI7 who participated in the investigation at that time unanimously believed that such a rare treasure would never appear in this world again.

They will definitely dismantle the treasures in the crown.

Although doing so will greatly reduce the value of this rare treasure.

But compared to being targeted by MI7, I believe many people are still willing to give up some of their interests.

After all, Great Britain at that time was once known as "the sun never sets."

"Dear Sir,"

Taking a deep breath, Steve's voice suddenly became serious, "I want to know where you got this headdress?"

"If I remember correctly, this should be a rare treasure lost by the Portland family at the beginning of the last century."

Although Lin Chu is a distinguished guest of the Saudi royal family, this matter is related to the British royal family.

"Really?"

Lin Chu didn't seem surprised at all, with a smile on his face, "I remember that the snake head that was auctioned was sprayed with water outside the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace, right?"

"Why is there no Haiyantang now?"

Steve's face froze slightly, and then suddenly turned red.

As a veteran nobleman, he certainly has a good understanding of that period of history.

Even those nobles at that time promoted all of this as glory.

After all, they plundered a large eastern country.

But now, let’s talk about this matter again…

If China has never stood up, this matter must have been passed down as a joke among them.

But the problem is, now China has stood up!

Not just standing up, but standing on top of Great Britain.

Although the old nobles are not willing to admit this.

But whether it is comprehensive strength or anything else, China has already surpassed it.

"That is not the same thing and cannot be confused!"

William Mountbatten, who was sitting next to Steve, said solemnly.

It has happened nearly two hundred years ago, so how can we still talk about it?

What's more, what they snatched from the hands of the Qing court has nothing to do with the current China?

After all, the Qing court had already been overthrown.

The Portland family has existed from beginning to end.

"Not a thing? Of course not a thing."

Lin Chu sneered, "How can robbery and theft be the same thing?"

William Mountbatten, who originally wanted to say something, was choked.

If he is given enough time, he will definitely be able to organize the language.

But the problem is...

William Mountbatten's eyes fell on Steve.

He understood that he was quite experienced in dealing with this kind of thing.

"This is the treasure of the Portland family. The Portland family registered it with MI7 more than a hundred years ago."

Steve pondered for a while, then spoke slowly.

He understood that the power of Sotheby's auction house would definitely not put too much pressure on Lin Chu.

Could someone who could become a distinguished guest of the Saudi royal family be easily intimidated?

Stop joking.

The only option is to move the Portland family out.

The Portland Family, this name may not be very clear to many people, and they may not even know that this family exists...

But if someone studies it, they will find out how powerful this family is.

There have been several Prime Ministers of the British Empire, as well as Home Secretary.

And the Sotheby's auction house includes shares of the Portland family!

This is why Steve was so excited just now.

"MI7, what a big name."

Lin Chu smiled brightly, "I can understand that you are threatening me?"

Before Steve could speak, Lin Chu's eyes fell on Vilia.

"Miss Vilia, he was threatening me just now!"

"I am a distinguished guest of your Saudi royal family. Do you care about me?"

What the hell...Vilia, who was already a little dazed at first, was immediately confused after hearing this.

Let us take care of it?

How the hell do we take care of that?!

Of course they are not afraid of Sotheby's, but the problem is that the Portland family is different.

That is a real, very prestigious and powerful ancient nobleman of Great Britain.

The relationship with the British royal family can be said to be quite close.

Wei Liya felt that she had a severe headache, so she asked why Lin Chu wanted her to send it away.

It turned out to be waiting for her here!

Damn it, this situation is not going to be easy no matter which side you stand on!

Steve's eyes suddenly fell on Vilia, and his eyes were full of majesty.

"Hello, Ambassador Sun?"

"Someone is threatening me!"
