15: Unexpected gains, sudden wealth

Qin Yun had already anticipated that the items in the box would be extraordinary.

However, seeing Jackson's name still gave him a huge shock.

Julia covered her mouth and gasped when she saw Jackson's name.

"T-this, how is this possible? Could this really be Michael Jackson? It couldn't just be someone with the same name, right?"

Qin Yun was extremely excited; he took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil.

"It shouldn't be a mistake."

"This dance outfit is his style!"

His Profound Vision Treasure Eye wouldn't be wrong; there were only a few items in the warehouse.

Only if this dance outfit belonged to Jackson would it emit a blue treasure light.

Jackson was the King of Dance and the most popular superstar in the world.

His dance outfit must be worth a fortune.

One must know that even a piece of used tissue from Scarlett, who played Black Widow, once auctioned for five thousand dollars.

Britney's chewed gum once auctioned for seven thousand dollars.

If even those people's items could auction for such ridiculous prices, let alone Jackson.

Once, someone snatched Michael's hat for an auction, and it sold for a sky-high price of fourteen thousand!

Not to mention an entire dance outfit; the price would definitely be astronomical.

Others might be hype, but he was Michael Jackson.

The man who was the King of the World!

In a hundred years, no dancer or singer has been more dominant than him!

His albums and singles have sold over 700 million copies, and his fan base is the largest in the world!

To this day, no one has been able to surpass him.

Jackson was the first person to hold a global concert tour!

He was also the first to bring the music video performance format to the stage!

Jackson's personal donations and charity auctions are still far ahead among entertainers!

His fans are spread all over the world, and many of them are Tycoons who would definitely be willing to pay a high price for this dance outfit.

Qin Yun carefully put the leather outfit away and opened the second box.

Inside was a leather bag, and within the bag was a stack of handwritten music scores.

Knowing these were likely Jackson's compositions, his heart raced with excitement.

If these were handwritten by Jackson and were unpublished dance tracks, they would certainly be worth their weight in gold!

This was undoubtedly the most precious treasure in the warehouse!

The crowd was greatly shocked upon hearing the duo's discussion.

"How could there be Jackson's things in that warehouse?"

"Is what they're saying true? Is this really Jackson's warehouse?"

"How much would Jackson's things even be worth?"

"It's definitely beyond everyone's imagination. That Eastern Kid made a huge profit buying it for thirty thousand dollars!"

"No way, how could such a low-probability event happen to the Eastern Kid? What kind of luck is this!"

...Across the entire auction site, only Brother Wu Ying stood aside with a dark expression, staring blankly at the warehouse, unable to say a word.

His emotions were extremely complex; from beginning to end, he couldn't accept that he had actually let Jackson's treasures slip through his fingers.

The tip he received was that it was a big star's warehouse, but he never expected it to be Michael Jackson's.

If his subordinates hadn't been supporting him, he would have almost stumbled to the ground.

He hated Qin Yun to death. If not for this guy, he could have taken this warehouse for a few thousand dollars at most.

The cooked duck had actually flown away; Brother Wu Ying felt like killing Qin Yun.

Julia was somewhat curious about what else might be in the remaining boxes.

She opened a box and found a leather bag inside.

Inside the leather bag was a stack of manuscripts, all covered in staff notation and lyrics. She was very excited.

"Qin, come look quickly! There are Jackson's manuscripts here!"

"Jackson's original manuscripts are extremely rare. We've hit the jackpot this time!"

After speaking, she carefully placed the manuscripts back into the leather bag.

Seeing the thick stack of manuscripts, everyone's eyes turned red with envy, wishing they could lunge forward and snatch them.

"The Eastern Kid has truly made it big this time!"

"I can't believe there are actually Jackson's manuscripts here! This must be worth a massive fortune!"

"Jackson was a singer-songwriter. If there's an unpublished song, even if it's only half-finished, it would cause a huge stir in the music industry."

...At this thought, everyone went wild. If they weren't at the Storage Company, they would have attempted a 'zero-dollar shopping' spree no matter what.

Qin Yun noticed the onlookers' eyes were red and knew some had been blinded by greed. He quickly said,

"We shouldn't stay here long. Let's pack up and leave quickly, or there might be trouble!"

As he spoke, he held the leather outfit in one hand and pulled the box of ordinary clothes with the other as he headed out.

"Okay, the sooner the better!"

Julia had also noticed the expressions of the crowd. She clutched the leather bag tightly and followed closely behind Qin Yun, hurrying toward where they had parked.

She knew that if the greed in the air was allowed to ferment, there was no telling what these people might do.

Furthermore, with Brother Wu Ying's group watching like hawks from the start, it was better to leave as soon as possible.

Qin Yun kept his eyes and ears open, ready to activate the Profound Vision Treasure Eye if any unexpected situation occurred.

They pushed through the crowd and reached the car safely. Only then did Qin Yun breathe a sigh of relief.

If the Treasure Hunters, blinded by jealousy and Jackson's fame, lost their reason, the dance outfit and manuscripts could easily be destroyed in a scuffle, even if the police handled it later.

Qin Yun quickly started the car and headed toward Borton City.

After driving for less than three kilometers, Qin Yun noticed five or six fast-moving cars following them from behind.

Those cars trailed behind them; regardless of whether Qin Yun speeded up or slowed down, they maintained a distance of about twenty meters from his vehicle.

This was America, the land of the free, where shootings happened every day.

The people behind likely had 'pieces.' No matter how powerful his Profound Vision Treasure Eye was, it couldn't guarantee he'd dodge bullets.

Moreover, he only had one chance today. Being in a car while having to protect Julia made it seem like an impossible task.

Julia found it strange that Qin Yun was constantly changing speeds.

Seeing Qin Yun's serious expression and the several cars behind that they couldn't shake off,

she felt a flicker of worry in her heart.

"Qin, what's going on? Are they going to try and rob us?"

"Should we call the police?"

Qin Yun shook his head. "No need. This area is too remote; by the time the police arrive, it'll be too late."

"These people won't give up until they see some benefit. Throw out three blank sheets of paper and let them fight for them!"

The people behind were all filled with greed; having them follow was a significant threat.

However, since the car was moving so fast, no one would be able to see if there was writing on the paper. With their greedy nature, they would definitely fall for it.

Julia hadn't expected Qin Yun to come up with such a scheme in a moment of crisis. She felt great admiration and instantly understood his intent.

She took out three blank sheets of paper, threw them out the window, and shouted at the nearby vehicles.

"The manuscripts fell! Stop quickly! Don't crush Jackson's manuscripts!"

To cooperate with Julia, Qin Yun immediately slammed on the brakes and pulled the car over to the side of the road.

Hearing they were manuscripts and seeing the three flying sheets of paper, everyone hurriedly stomped on their brakes and scrambled out of their cars to give chase.

The highway instantly fell into chaos, completely blocking the road.

Seeing the plan work, Qin Yun immediately started the car and drove toward Borton City at maximum speed.

Ten minutes later, seeing that no cars were still pursuing them, both of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

Julia leaned back against the seat with a wide smile.

"You're really amazing, coming up with a solution so quickly. If we had let those people keep following us, who knows what bad things might have happened!"

Qin Yun shook his head modestly.

"It was nothing. They're just a bunch of greedy cowards; they're easy to deal with."

It seemed Warehouse Auctions weren't as safe as they appeared; he would have to be more careful in the future.

Although they had escaped the danger, Qin Yun remained cautious, driving the pickup at a hundred miles per hour toward Boston.

As they neared Bolton, Qin Yun saw the fuel gauge was almost at empty. Noticing an automated gas station along the way, he drove in to refuel.

After swiping his gas card and starting to fill up with the nozzle, two cars pulled up.

They were already in the suburbs of Bolton. Qin Yun glanced at them but didn't pay much attention, continuing to refuel.

When he looked up again, he saw Brother Wu Ying and a group of his lackeys stepping out of the cars.
