Chapter 816 Im lucky to have gained it, but Im even happier to have lost it.

"Tap tap tap tap~~"

Stepping on the marble floor of the shopping mall, Constantine's leather shoes made a crisp sound as he walked to the front door.

"Squeak!"

The tall wooden door was pushed open, and Constantine walked in, walking to a luxurious and artistic office. Behind the desk, a white-haired old man sat there, looking up at Constantine.

"Your Excellency Chairman!"

Constantine saluted respectfully.

The white-haired old man spoke softly: "Charlotte Auction House is going to auction Himiko's items, as well as the remains of another legendary god in Japan. Have you heard about this?"

"Yes."

"The last operation to explore Himihu's reincarnation power failed. Constantine, this was your mistake. Now go buy that skeleton and give it to the research institute for research to see if you can gain anything." The old man said.

"We can definitely take them back." Constantine said with a pursed lips.

"If the problem can be solved with money, don't use other forces. Just go ahead and don't fail this time." The old man said in a commanding tone.

"I heard that the Japanese government has contacted the Prime Minister and wants to stop this auction." Constantine said.

"I have already called Blair. He will not stop this auction, and using power to prevent free trade itself is against the rules and can easily cause more trouble. As for Japan, on this matter, their government has also

I am just expressing my position to deal with the people and will not take any drastic action." The white-haired old man said.

"I understand, I must bring those things back. If there is nothing else, then I will leave." Constantine bent down and bowed.

At this moment, the old man suddenly spoke and said: "Constantine, do your best. As long as you contribute enough to the organization, you will one day enter the Presbyterian Church."

"Yes Chairman, I understand."

When Constantine walked out of the castle, a few gleams flashed in his eyes. With the ability of the Holy Trinity, he naturally knew that the Charlotte Auction House was the property of the Crawford family. Last time Laura went to Yamatai Island and came back.

Later, Charlotte Auction House auctioned off these items that clearly belonged to Queen Himiko.

Through this, Constantine can be sure that the failure of Vogel and the mercenary army to find the reincarnation power of Queen Himihu must have something to do with Laura.

Today, the chairman personally called him here and asked him to buy Queen Himihu's antiques sold by the Laura family. In fact, it had two meanings. One was to express dissatisfaction with the failure of his mission, to complete the mission he failed and to get back those treasures.

Secondly, it also warned him not to quarrel with the Crawford family again, let alone take strong measures.

Laura is now the eleventh successor of the Crawford family and a true British noble countess.

The Holy Trinity is a mysterious organization that pursues power and immortality, but it is also an outright aristocratic organization. Laura's father joined this organization in the beginning, but later withdrew due to differences.

Like this mysterious organization, being able to join and withdraw at will, and being able to survive, can speak for itself. The identity of Laura's father plays a decisive role. Holy Trinity will not attack the nobles at will, because the nobles are holy

The foundation of the Holy Trinity, unless that person seriously threatens the security of the Holy Trinity and the interests of the majority.

...

Time flies and a month passes.

During this period,

The Japanese government has communicated with the British government through diplomatic channels many times, but the response it received was that this is a reasonable business behavior and the government cannot violate business rules. This is inconsistent with the constitution.

The Japanese people were very upset. They felt like they had been slapped so hard that their cheeks hurt.

The national treasure was snatched away and sold openly. Their government could only protest but had no choice. On the Internet, after scolding the Charlotte Auction House and the British government, the Japanese people turned around and started scolding the Japanese government and prime minister for their incompetence.

Originally, Garrison thought that the British government might intervene to stop the public auction and then turn to private transactions. But what surprised him was that the British government actually rejected the Japanese request and did not put pressure on the Charlotte Auction House.

.

Garrison, Laura, and Jiang Hao also talked about the second strategy before, and they had no objections to how to sell Jiang Hao. What he wanted was money, and now he had disgusted the Japanese, which was enough. Now this result makes the two of them also.

I feel a little surprised.

What the two did not expect was that the auction could go ahead thanks to their opponent, the Holy Trinity Organization.

It is also the result of the entanglement of multiple conditions, but no matter what, they are the ones who benefit, and the rest does not matter.

Regardless of the commotion outside, the auction house officially begins.

The auction hall of the Charlotte Auction House was packed with people today, and all of them were wealthy customers. This was because the Charlotte Auction House had significantly increased the amount of the auction deposit in order to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

If the Japanese play the high-price bidding game and end up not paying, the deposit will cause you pain first.

But even this can't stop people's enthusiasm. There are more than 40 auctioneers who have paid deposits this time. Among them, there are many big collectors from Europe and the United States. There are four or five batches of Arab tycoons. The Japanese have taken away a few number plates, and even

There are also two waves of Chinese among them.

Jiang Hao and Laura also came, but they sat in the back. They didn't ask for a sign. They were just spectators today.

The gold medal auctioneer of Charlotte Auction House came on stage and introduced the first lot of the day after a simple opening remarks.

"Everyone, the first auction item today is the golden hairpin worn by Queen Himihu. It is made of pure gold and inlaid with various gemstones. It is exquisite and luxurious in shape. What is particularly important is that it is on the mural of Queen Himihu's palace announced in Japan.

There is a portrait of Queen Himihu wearing this set of accessories, and the shape is completely consistent, and these murals have never appeared before, so there is no possibility of imitation."

"Nearly all of the items on sale today are directly or indirectly related to Queen Himiko, so here I will introduce the deeds of Queen Himiko. Queen Himiko was the first queen of Japan. She once ruled Japan for 70 years. According to legend,

She has the power to control nature, can create wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and also has the mysterious ability to be reincarnated. Later, she was revered as Amaterasu, the highest god in Japanese Shintoism."

The auctioneer was about to continue talking, but at this moment, a Japanese suddenly stood up and shouted in English: "You are blaspheming the gods by auctioning the sacred objects of the gods. You guys will not end well."

After saying that, he jumped up and rushed to the throne, trying to grab Queen Himiko's headdress on the bracket on the stage.

The auctioneer was startled and looked blankly at the Japanese who rushed over with an angry face. There was some commotion at the scene, but just as the Japanese rushed to the auction table, two people wearing clothes suddenly appeared behind him.

The big man in security uniform grabbed the Japanese man, twisted him hard and pushed him to the ground.

They were professional security personnel from the auction company. Many of them were retired special forces and were very skilled. The Japanese man struggled hard but could not break free. The two security personnel carried the Japanese man out without any explanation.

The auctioneer was worthy of his gold medal. He responded quickly and immediately said with a smile: "It was just a small episode and it will not affect our auction process. I want to say here that all the processes of this auction are legal and disruptive.

We will send the person to the police for processing, okay, let’s continue.”

"The first lot, Queen Himihu's tiara, has a base price of 1.3 million pounds, and the bidding begins now."

As the auctioneer finished speaking, several placard holders suddenly appeared in the audience.

"No. 128, 1.31 million."

"No. 139, 1.32 million."

"1.4 million, the gentleman No. 169 directly paid 1.4 million pounds."

There was a lot of bidding, and it didn't take long for this set of jewelry to be raised to 1.55 million pounds. This price was already very high, even though it was the first set of jewelry for Queen Himiko.

At this time, there were only three groups of people still participating in the auction, a group of British people, a group of Japanese people, and a group of Chinese people.

The Chinese man was a middle-aged man. He was very calm and looked very relaxed when he raised the placard. He raised the placard again and directly reported a number, "1.6 million pounds."

British collectors gave up. The price had exceeded the value of the set of jewelry. They were just collectors and not taken advantage of.

The Japanese bidder gave the Chinese a sharp look and said, "1.61 million."

"1.65 million." The Chinese shouted again.

The Japanese looked at the Chinese as if they wanted to eat people, but the Chinese bidder smiled at him, a very polite smile.

This guy has money,

He has seen too many people auctioning Chinese treasures. Although the bidding price of this set of gold hairpin headdress has exceeded the value, even if it is collected, it is difficult to have any room for higher appreciation, but he wants to buy it, even if it disgusts the Japanese.

It makes me feel good when they feel uncomfortable.

"1.7 million." The Japanese shouted through gritted teeth.

The Chinese man spread his hands, put down the sign and clapped politely, and then everyone followed suit and congratulated the Japanese man on his successful bid.

I'm lucky to have gained it, but I'm even happier to have lost it, because it cost the Japanese hundreds of thousands of pounds more.

The auctioneer dropped the hammer, and the lot belonged to the Japanese bidder.

"The next auction item is a gold coin with the image of Queen Himihu printed on it. The most expensive gold coin in the world is the "Double Eagle" gold coin minted by the United States in 1933. 500,000 coins were produced at that time, but they were never issued. Four years later

They were uniformly destroyed, but a dozen of them were still leaked out, and now the price of a "Double Eagle" gold coin is around US$1 million."

"The gold coin with the head of Queen Himihu that we are going to auction next should have been produced around 300 AD and has a history of more than 1,700 years. This is the first time that such a gold coin has appeared so far. It can be said to be of great historical significance and

Research value and collection value.”

"12 gold coins are sold together, and the base price is 2 million pounds. Everyone, this is a rare opportunity. They may be the only 12 gold coins with Queen Himihu's head left in the world. The bidding starts now."

"2.1 million."

"2.15 million."

"..."

Prices are rising little by little,

It feels really good to sit in the back row and watch the bidders keep raising their signs and trying to put money into their pockets.

Next to her, Laura turned sideways, approached Jiang Hao's ear and said, "Holi helped you find five more suitable manors. It seems that after today, you will have the money to buy them."
