140: People from headquarters came

The Staff Member waiting outside, hearing their boss speak, charged into the office aggressively.

When they saw that the one they had to deal with was just an ordinary the young man.

They laughed out loud arrogantly.

They were already unscrupulous in Augusta relying on the background of Christies, so seeing the young man dare to challenge their boss's dignity was unacceptable.

They rushed forward howling; in their eyes, Qin Yun was just a small fry who could be dealt with with one hand, and they would soon complete their boss's order.

But something unexpected happened.

Before anyone could see clearly what was happening.

Their companions were sent flying out one by one.

Qin Yun dismissively shook his wrist; he hadn't wanted to take action.

But these people were just asking for a beating, so he had to use his Profound Vision Treasure Eye to punch them away one by one.

"Well, was I wrong?"

Qin Yun walked up to Burton and said word for word with an expressionless face.

Burton hadn't expected Qin Yun to be so skilled and retreated repeatedly in fear.

"Bowen, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and stop this savage fellow!"

"I-I'm no match for him either! Wait, I'll go call someone!"

Bowen wasn't an idiot; he was scared to death and didn't dare to block Qin Yun, this great star of calamity.

He also ran outside.

Qin Yun gave a disdainful smile, pulled a chair over to the door, and sat down.

"I suggest you be patient and wait a bit longer, otherwise if I take action, you'll lose all face."

Although Qin Yun really wanted to punch these two into the ground, he held back.

That wouldn't help in the least with recovering the yongle encyclopedia.

It was better to wait for the Christies higher-ups to come and teach them a lesson.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be convinced even if they were beaten, and he didn't have much time to waste on these two useless pieces of trash.

Burton and Bowen felt their skin crawl under Qin Yun's gaze.

They didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves, fearing they would end up like the employees lying on the ground, hit by a punch from this reckless kid Qin Yun.

Burton gave the Staff Member outside a look and sat down in his executive chair.

He didn't believe a the young man like Qin Yun could be that powerful.

Once the Staff Member brought professional thugs and bodyguards to the company, they would definitely beat Qin Yun so hard his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

Seeing the Christies Staff Member sneak away, Bowen also felt that Qin Yun was just relying on a bit of martial force and was certainly no match for professionals.

So he quieted down and even made a cup of coffee for Burton.

He was just a Treasure Hunter; Augusta was their territory, so could Qin Yun really turn the world upside down here?

Ten minutes later, a group of uniformed bodyguards arrived outside.

Burton and Bowen immediately became arrogant again.

"If you admit your mistake now, you might be spared a severe beating; otherwise, with those monkey-show tricks of Xia Country, you're no match for boxers and professional soldiers."

"What's so great about Xia Country's martial arts? It's just dancing; maybe it has some ornamental value in movies and TV, but in actual combat, it's just trash."

Seeing the thugs arrive, Bowen's courage grew significantly, and he walked directly up to Qin Yun to provoke him.

He hated this kid Qin Yun to death for daring to cause trouble on his own turf.

If it weren't for Burton being there, so many of them might not have been a match for this kid.

He really wanted Burton's people to beat Qin Yun half to death so that both his face and his treasure could be preserved.

Burton slammed the table hard, the fear on his face completely gone, replaced by his usual big-shot demeanor.

With his hands behind his back, he walked up to Qin Yun with a smile.

"Kid, weren't you acting all tough? If you're so capable, keep acting up. There are so many professional bodyguards outside; a single punch from each of them will leave you half dead."

"You Xia Country Monkeys only have this much ability; you learn a few amateur tricks and then don't know the height of the heavens. In America, these meager skills are nothing; you're only fit for serving plates."

"If you kneel down and admit your mistakes, then slap yourself fifty times, I'll let you go. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be walking out of this office."

After Burton finished speaking viciously, he glared at Qin Yun and Julia with a resentful look, then returned to his chair to drink coffee.

What he cared about most now wasn't revenge, but saving face.

A mere Treasure Hunter like Qin Yun dared to challenge his dignity on his own turf; how could he stand this in Augusta, his own kingdom?

"Qin, should we look for someone else?"

Seeing the crowd of bodyguards outside, Julia was a bit worried that Qin Yun would be injured if a conflict broke out.

If they couldn't get the yongle encyclopedia back, wouldn't this trip be in vain?

Qin Yun shook his head and rejected Julia's suggestion.

These bodyguards only looked big and muscular, but their actual combat experience was no better than street thugs.

With his Profound Vision Treasure Eye, he wasn't worried about his safety at all.

Moreover, he believed the Christies executive on the other end of the line was more anxious than he was and should be arriving soon.

There was no need to trouble others; besides, this was a small city on the American border, and many big shots couldn't exert much influence here.

Seeing that Qin Yun was still very calm without the slightest hint of fear.

Burton was completely enraged.

"What are you waiting for? I want this kid's legs broken."

Hearing the command, the bodyguards coordinated closely, dividing into several groups and surrounding Qin Yun.

"What are you doing? Who here is from Christies? Stop right now!"

A majestic and cold voice came from outside the door, and everyone was stunned.

Turning to look, they saw a middle-aged man in a trench coat walking with a powerful stride; although his coat was a bit wrinkled and he was in a hurry, he possessed the aura of a true leader.

He was on a completely different level compared to Burton, who just put on airs and relied on scowling to intimidate people.

Everyone in the room was stunned when they saw this person appear.

This person was precisely the manager from Christies headquarters Qin Yun had called, Doyle Virgil.

After Virgil arrived, he glanced at the uniformed bodyguards and Qin Yun sitting to the side.

He immediately understood what was happening.

He pushed past the bodyguards, walked into the office, and slapped Burton and Boer each across the face.

"I'll see who dares to lay a hand on Mr. Qin!"

After scolding the bodyguards, he quickly walked to Qin Yun and said urgently: "Mr. Qin, are you alright? I'm sorry I'm late."

Waving his hand, Qin Yun stood up and said calmly: "You're not late. I don't care about these trash."

"You'd better deal with these bad elements in the company, or else the reputation of Christies will be ruined by these people."

After Qin Yun finished speaking, he stood to the side; he wanted to see how these two arrogant fellows would continue to show off in front of Virgil.

Burton and Boer were completely dumbfounded, unable to figure out who the helper Qin Yun had called actually was.

Judging by his appearance and aura, he was someone of status, but he shouldn't be interfering in Christies' business.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere with Christies' business? Aren't you afraid of offending Christies?"

Burton looked at the newcomer with an unfriendly gaze, bringing up the Christies name to figure out the other's identity before taking action.

"Who am I?"

"A piece of scum like you has the nerve to ask who I am? I am Virgil, and here is my Invitation Card."

Virgil pulled out an Invitation Card and threw it at Burton, his eyes burning with rage as he thought about how to deal with this parasite.

Because Burton saw that Virgil didn't seem to fear Christies, he had an uneasy feeling.

His reaction was slow, and he failed to catch the Invitation Card.

He bent down to pick up the Invitation Card from the floor, and when he saw the name and title on it.

He was instantly stunned and didn't straighten up for a long time.
