Samuel Langdon stepped out of the carriage and stood at the door of the Wall Hotel, standing respectfully beside the carriage.
"Baron Langdon, please come with me." The doorman is very familiar with Baron Langdon. As a big businessman in St. Dresden, Samuel Langdon is familiar with these low-level people.
.
When he was young, relying on his courage and unique vision, he boldly invested in the mechanical textile industry with the remaining wealth of the Langdon family, and quickly made a fortune. Soon, relying on this first pot of gold, Samuel...
Langdon continued to expand his investment, and even expanded the scope of investment to other fields. Soon, he stood out in the business district of St. Dresden. In just a dozen years, Samuel Langdon became
Founded the famous Langdon business empire.
But just when everyone thought that Samuel Langdon's business empire would spread across the entire Eastern Continent, Samuel unexpectedly withdrew bravely. After selling off most of his businesses, he returned to St. Dres.
In his hometown on the outskirts of Sri Lanka, he lived a leisurely life like a rich man.
No one knows why Samuel made this unbelievable decision, and his baron title is one of the few in the empire that is awarded by the royal family to merchants in recognition of Samuel's contribution to the cause of the empire.
contribute.
However, after becoming a leisurely rich man, Samuel's interests changed and he became passionate about collecting antiques. All the auction houses in Saint-Dres-Fesus ranked this person at the top of their list.
"How long until the auction starts?" Samuel asked as he walked.
"There's still half an hour, Baron Langdon." The doorman ushered Samuel and his two bodyguards into a special box, and then respectfully left.
After a while, the door of the box rang. After getting permission, people filed in. Various fruits and snacks were served one by one. Finally, there was a beautifully made auction book.
Samuel just picked up the auction book and flipped through it casually. This auction book had been specially delivered to his door by the staff of Wall Hotel three days ago.
After flipping through it for a while, Samuel let out a sigh and saw an auction item on the first page that he had never seen before.
"The unnamed book has been identified as having natural craftsmanship, no traces of processing, and a simple style. No style from any era has been found to match it. It has not been opened so far. It seems to be imprisoned by a mysterious power."
Samuel murmured as he read the appraisal report, suddenly becoming interested.
If this lot did not have this passage in the appraisal report, even Samuel would have ignored this unknown book.
The book is made of bronze. On the cover, there is a pattern that looks like a door, but not a door, or a tree but not a tree. There is nothing else, but Samuel, who has a deep knowledge of heraldry, can tell at a glance that this is a heraldry.
, and it was a coat of arms he had never seen before.
The moment he saw this coat of arms, Samuel felt his heart skip a beat, as if to remind him not to miss this book, not to miss it.
Samuel closed the auction book thoughtfully and raised his hand slightly.
"Boss." A bodyguard who had been standing behind him stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"Call the auction manager."
The bodyguard nodded silently, walked to the door of the box, and gave a few instructions to the maid standing outside the door.
Soon, the supervisor who was hosting the auction came to Samuel with a flattering look on his face.
"Your Excellency, Baron, are you looking for me?"
Samuel unfolded the first page of the auction book and asked, "What's going on with this lot?"
"Oh, is this unknown book you are talking about? Someone suddenly brought it to the auction house yesterday and asked for it to be auctioned."
Samuel frowned, "Wall Auction House doesn't have such rules."
"Indeed, indeed, but the person in charge at the time didn't know what was going on, so he agreed in a daze. When I got the news and wanted to find someone, the person disappeared." The supervisor said with a sad face.
"It's gone, what do you mean? With your strength, Wall, you can't even find out who's coming?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, nothing was found. According to the person in charge at the time, the man was still masked when he came and didn't even leave his address."
"What about the money from your auction?" Samuel asked curiously. Since Wall Auction House has taken out the auction items, it means that the money has gone somewhere.
"The man left the address of the Levant Mining Orphanage before he left." The supervisor said with a sad face.
"That's it." Samuel suddenly realized that Levaming Orphanage is an orphanage funded by the newly-established Levant University and is the largest orphanage in St. Dresden.
With the endorsement of Levamin University, even if the visitor has nothing to do with Levamin Orphanage, Wall Auction House would not dare to have the slightest intention of being greedy. What's more, the client is mysterious and unpredictable. Who knows if Levamin Orphanage knows about it.
"So, our auction house will not charge a commission for this lot," the supervisor continued.
"I want to buy it out privately, you see..."
"This...it's just the orphanage at Levantine..." the supervisor said hesitantly. If he really wanted to buy it out privately, he would have to worry about the feelings of the orphanage.
"I will give you 100,000 Omo gold coins. In addition, I will donate another 100,000 Omo gold coins to Levamin Orphanage in the future."
Samuel said decisively.
"That's no problem." The supervisor said immediately.
Soon, the bodyguard presented the check, and 100,000 Omo gold coins went directly into the hands of the supervisor.
After a while, the supervisor carried an exquisite book box and handed it to the bodyguard. After verifying the book, both parties paid for it.
Samuel spent the next auction completely in a fugue. He had always been interested in antiques, but this time, he did not buy a single item.
His mind was focused on the exquisite book box, but with the determination he had developed through many years of walking in the mall, Samuel restrained his desire to open the book box immediately.
Outside the Wall Hotel, Samuel got on the carriage and left quickly.
What he didn't know was that in the shadows not far from the Wall Hotel, a figure came out of it.
"Constance, this is the most suitable candidate for the Pope of the Church of Humanity as you saw in Destiny. I think he is just an ordinary fat man."
Quins said.
"In the words of your hometown, this is like turning into a dragon when encountering a storm. This Baron Langdon can build a huge business empire with the identity of an ordinary person, and he will definitely do something extraordinary as well."
Quins narrowed his eyes, "Although his administrative skills are indeed outstanding, in the extraordinary world, strength is also an important component."
"Oh, you should give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll change to the next candidate."
