86: Internal auction
“Boss, I brought the brothers. Where are you?”
Dewey received Julia's call, and his heart was filled with anxiety.
He immediately packed his luggage and rushed over on the fastest plane.
When he learned online that Qin Yun possessed a treasure worth over ten million and that the news was causing a huge stir...
...he judged that the situation was likely serious, so he sought help from his good brothers serving in the military.
They shared a life-and-death bond, so they immediately flew over in two training helicopters.
“Dewey, I'm here.”
Qin Yun hadn't expected Dewey to arrive so promptly, and with such a grand display, so he quickly raised his hand to wave.
The farmer, unsure if they were friend or foe, gripped his gun tightly and remained cautiously vigilant.
Hearing that they were Qin Yun's subordinates, he immediately relaxed.
Truly a Big Boss; even his subordinates make a shocking entrance.
Mike's expression flickered unpredictably. He had already fallen out with Qin Yun and hadn't expected this sudden turn of events.
The helicopters hovered in mid-air, and two ropes extended down from them.
Over a dozen heavily armed Marines slid down the ropes.
“Boss, it's great to see you unharmed. This is Tom, a brother from my time in service. He helped us greatly this time.”
Dewey jogged over and introduced the officer with black camouflage paint on his face to Qin Yun.
“It's nothing. Dewey was my squad leader and helped me a lot. This is what I should do.”
Tom had heard about Qin Yun's deeds from Dewey while in the helicopter and greatly admired Qin Yun's capabilities, so he stepped forward and proactively shook Qin Yun's hand.
Qin Yun's tense nerves immediately relaxed. With Dewey and Tom here, Mike certainly wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
“Mike, the situation is constantly changing. You've been here long enough; it's time for you to leave. As for your life-saving kindness, I will repay you properly.”
Qin Yun emphasized the words “repay you,” confident that Mike would understand his meaning.
Mike's expression was volatile. His bodyguards were definitely no match for the Marines.
The weapons and military quality of the two sides were not even on the same level.
He felt fortunate that he had only threatened them secretly and hadn't directly made a move.
He wondered why Qin Yun didn't completely fall out with him.
“Let's go.”
After hesitating for a few seconds, Mike finally accepted reality, conceded defeat, and left with his bodyguards.
Aside from Qin Yun and Mike's group, no one understood what had transpired between the two parties.
After the onlookers dispersed, Qin Yun knew that Frauers House was no longer safe.
At dawn, under the cover of Tom and his group, Qin Yun and Julia returned to the city.
Dewey requested two military vehicles and several soldiers to escort the yongle encyclopedia to Borton City.
With the military vehicles serving as a deterrent, and Dewey and his men being highly dedicated, not a single accident occurred on the road.
After more than a day of driving, they finally returned to Borton City.
To express his gratitude to Tom's subordinates, Qin Yun found several fine antiques at the Secondhand Store for them to take back.
“I don't have extra lodging here. How about I have Julia help you rent a suburban villa?”
Although this trip involved many twists and turns, he still found many ancient texts from Xia Country.
Especially the Tokyo Menghualu and the yongle encyclopedia, which were priceless treasures to him.
Therefore, Qin Yun was very grateful to The Frauer Family and wanted to settle them properly as much as possible.
“You don't need to trouble yourself to pay. We've been farming for many years and have savings. It is our whole family's honor to follow you.”
Frauer hadn't expected things to develop to this extent.
Although he had given up his home, being able to follow Qin Yun, a Big Boss and his idol, made him very excited, and he didn't want to accept Qin Yun's financial help.
“You don't need to decline. You are displaced because of me. Furthermore, I need you to help me with things. If you don't accept, I'll feel too embarrassed to trouble you.”
Qin Yun was afraid they wouldn't accept, so he used a small trick.
Hearing Qin Yun say this, and knowing The Frauer Family still wanted to follow Qin Yun's development, they had no reason to refute him and had to agree.
“Mr. Qin, we will remember your kindness and follow you forever without betrayal, or may Heaven punish us!”
Frauers Father pressed his children to the ground, expressing his gratitude to Qin Yun in the manner of a knight pledging allegiance to a liege lord.
He knew that after leaving their homeland, following Qin Yun, this Big Boss, was the only way out for their family.
So he directly pledged dependence on Qin Yun.
Qin Yun quickly helped The Frauer Family up.
“You don't need to give me such a grand salute. I will treat you like my own family!”
Seeing this situation, Qin Yun felt a bit helpless.
But since the situation was like this, he could only accept it to put The Frauer Family at ease.
After Julia left with The Frauer Family, Qin Yun returned alone to the Secondhand Store's warehouse.
He took the nine dragons precious sword out of the safe, looking at the two supreme treasures of Xia Country on the table.
His heart was filled with joy.
Recovering Xia Country's treasures scattered abroad made him happier than getting rich himself.
The honor and pride this brought could not be compared to acquiring money.
His gloved hands continuously and gently stroked the nine dragons precious sword and the yongle encyclopedia.
Although he felt reluctant, he still decided to send them back to Xia Country.
Only in Xia Country could these two supreme treasures realize their maximum value.
Qin Yun was thinking about how he should send the two treasures back.
Many people in the United States knew that the nine dragons precious sword and the yongle encyclopedia were in his hands.
He couldn't use the previous method of sending them back secretly without anyone knowing.
Once they were sent back, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.
Qin Yun wondered if he was ready for that.
While Qin Yun was admiring the treasures alone, there was a rapid knocking sound from outside the door.
“Boss, a person named Arnold has called our shop several times today, and he's calling again now. He says he has urgent business to discuss with you. What do you think?”
Li Qiang heard the urgency in the man's voice, so he had to come and find Qin Yun.
Only then did Qin Yun remember what he had promised Arnold. After putting the nine dragons precious sword and the yongle encyclopedia into the safe, he hurried to the storefront.
“Hello, this is Qin Yun. I was busy with some things on the West Coast and didn't get your call. My apologies.”
Qin Yun felt a little embarrassed for forgetting something he had promised someone.
“You really are a busy man. I saw your news online. It's truly amazing that you found the yongle encyclopedia in that small town.”
“It's not too late yet. The auction starts tonight. Once you've packed and prepared, just get to the Borton City East Airport before 8 PM. I've already sent a private jet to wait for you there.”
Arnold was very excited and felt more confident about the upcoming auction Qin Yun was going to attend.
The fact that Qin Yun could find a supreme treasure like the yongle encyclopedia in such a God-forsaken town showed that his luck was exceptionally good.
With Qin Yun's strength coupled with his explosive luck, he would surely succeed.
“Alright, I'll definitely be there on time!”
It was good that it wasn't too late. Qin Yun was looking forward to attending the Internal Auction.
There must be good treasures inside, and he wouldn't have to spend his own money. There was nothing better than this.
He contacted Julia and arranged to meet at the airport at 6 PM.
The two arrived at the airport, reaching the agreed-upon location.
A servant dressed in a black suit had been waiting for a long time.
Taking the airport's internal tram, Qin Yun soon saw the luxurious private jet not far away.
