“Earl, where is the God’s Armament? Can you let me see it?!”
Although these antiques were valuable, Aaron, who was thinking about his girlfriend, cared more about the location of the God’s Armament.
It has to be said that this scheming boy really loved his girlfriend.
Jack didn't lose for no reason.
Aaron not only deeply loved Rona but also outshined Jack in appearance and possessed outstanding musical talent.
When you think about it, apart from liking Rona, Jack was completely outshined in every other aspect, no wonder he lost so miserably in pursuing her.
Fortunately, Jack's talent was fully displayed in the exploration world, which made him regain a slight advantage.
However, unfortunately, Aaron and Rona had already gotten married.
Jack could only choose to let go and bless the couple, wishing them a lifetime of happiness.
“The God’s Armament is ahead, follow me.”
Seeing Aaron's eagerness to inquire about the God’s Armament, the Earl smiled slightly, as if everything was under his control.
Led by the Earl, Lu Hao and the others soon saw the three pieces of God’s Armament—the Holy Spirit Sword, a shield, and a breastplate.
The three objects were casually placed in the corner of the antique warehouse.
Lu Hao and Jack exchanged glances. The Holy Spirit Sword they just sold was among them, indicating that the Earl's daughter had already put the sword in the warehouse. They just didn't know if she had reported them.
After all, the Earl's children were well aware of their identities.
Aaron was directly stunned, “Such valuable things are just placed here!?” as if they were just rubbish piled on the ground.
The Earl took a puff of his pipe and smiled faintly, “To me, these things are just a historical witness, both important and unimportant.”
“Unfortunately, some people don't see it that way.”
Then the Earl told Jack and Aaron about the origin of the God’s Armament and how the modern cult has been revived, intending to destroy the God’s Armament to achieve the purpose of attacking God's believers.
“That's utterly absurd!!”
Hearing that these cultists were hoping to destroy the God’s Armament to destroy God's faith, Jack shook his head. These cultists really had problems with their brains.
“Religion is a matter of faith. Whether it is a cult or not depends on whether their beliefs lead people to goodness and bring peace and joy.”
The Earl, seeing that the bait had been thrown, smiled and led them out.
Lu Hao casually put down a small porcelain bottle he was playing with and followed indifferently.
After closing the antique warehouse again, the Earl revealed his true intentions, “Jack, Lu Hao, it’s rare that you came to visit me, why not stay in the castle for two days and let me show you some hospitality.”
It's not convenient to sneak in and steal outside, but it's much easier inside the castle.
The opportunity is given to you, seize it.
The Earl thought to himself.
Now Rona was imprisoned, Jack had no intention of delaying his time in the castle, so he was about to refuse immediately.
But Aaron, on the other hand, was invigorated and nodded repeatedly, “I've never lived in such a magnificent castle before. I'd love to try it out, thanks for making it possible, Earl.”
“You're welcome.”
The Earl smiled and nodded, then pretended to raise his wrist to check his watch, frowning slightly, lamenting, “Jack, Lu Hao, I have a banquet to attend later, and I may be back very late. If you have any requests, you can find my butler, he will arrange everything for you.”
The owner is not at home, you can steal at ease.
Looking at the Earl who was almost explicitly stating his plan, Lu Hao chuckled and looked at the Earl meaningfully, which made the Earl's heart skip a beat. It seemed that this sharp kid had seen through his plan.
The Earl motioned to the butler to take Jack and the others to the guest room, and then said to Lu Hao, “Lu Hao, stay a while. I have some questions for you about some details of the base location.”
Lu Hao raised an eyebrow and said to Jack and Aaron, “You two go to the guest room first, I'll be there later.”
Jack didn't think much of it, he really thought that the Earl wanted to ask about the old Q base.
After all, it was Lu Hao who led them to find the location of the base, so it was normal for the Earl to ask Lu Hao.
After Jack and Aaron left, Lu Hao looked at the Earl and said directly, “Earl, you're setting us up!?”
He had already seen through the Earl’s intentions. The Earl wanted to use Jack to get the complete set of God’s Armament, so he was setting this trap.
“I knew I couldn't hide it from you.”
The Earl smiled, “Make a price, I only ask you to turn a blind eye to this matter.”
“Shut-up money!?”
Lu Hao looked strange, spread his hands and said, “Earl, you want me to betray Jack? Do you know that Jack is my brother, my best partner, my closest comrade, we have fought together, we have gone through life and death together…”
“So what do you mean!?”
The Earl was a little confused by Lu Hao. Was he agreeing or disagreeing!?
Lu Hao sighed, then said firmly, “The price needs to be higher!”
“…”
The Earl was speechless. It seemed that all that talk was just about asking for a higher price.
“One hundred thousand pounds!”
He took a deep breath and offered a price directly.
This price could buy a piece of God’s Armament in normal times.
However, if he could get the entire set of God’s Armament through this, he could get it back with interest.
After all, the price of a single piece of God’s Armament could never compare to the entire set.
As everyone knows, in the antique world, the price of a complete set of antiques is much higher than the price of individual pieces sold separately.
For example, a piece of God’s Armament could sell for one hundred thousand pounds, and if five pieces were sold separately, the total would be five or six hundred thousand pounds.
But if you collect the entire set of God’s Armament, the Earl dares to ask for millions of pounds.
That's the charm of a complete set of antiques.
“Deal!”
A smile appeared on Lu Hao's face, he shook hands with the Earl, and they reached a deal.
Anyway, no matter what, the Earl held three pieces of God’s Armament. With this in hand, as long as Jack didn’t want to attack the Earl, the final result for Jack and Aaron could only be compromise, agreeing to the Earl’s conditions.
So, knowing the outcome beforehand, he might as well cooperate with the Earl and get a bonus.
This money, it doesn’t hurt to earn.
Seeing that he had settled Lu Hao, the insider, the Earl finally felt relieved and went to attend the banquet, leaving the space for Jack and Aaron to perform.
Lu Hao was not worried that Jack would steal.
Although the Asian Flying Eagle never asked for the owner’s opinion when he wanted something, the prerequisite was that the owner was a stranger.
For old acquaintances like the Earl, Jack generally wouldn't attack, unless the situation was very urgent.
But there were other options, so Lu Hao believed that Jack would not choose to attack at this time.
It was the scheming boy Aaron who might fall into the trap.
But that was none of Lu Hao's business.
It would be a good opportunity for Aaron to suffer a little.
