Chapter 434: Auction
A few days later, Sunday reported that the Yellowstone base had been completely cleaned and ready for use, but there was a problem for William to decide.
William had a headache when he saw the video sent on Sunday, and the person in the video was Tilde who was arrested by Valentine and secretly imprisoned in the Yellowstone base.
The eldest daughter of Char's younger brother Andrew is a proper trouble, and even the whole family is in trouble, her father's reputation is not good, but Tilde's mentality is not bad, and she probably has the talent of an otaku, and she has been imprisoned for almost 20 days, and there is no sign of collapse or madness.
Valentine probably also has some thoughts about Tilde, so in addition to being closed and not allowed to contact the outside world, all the requirements that can be met are met, and Tilde reads magazines, football games, TV series, and does beauty and fitness by himself every day.
Looking at Tilde, who was dancing fitness dance in the video, he thought about it and took out his mobile phone to call Wilson, and as soon as the phone was connected, William asked directly, "Is your uncle still looking for his daughter?"
"Of course," Wilson said busily, "do you know where Tilde is? Did Valentine do it?"
"Well, how do you know?" William wondered, "Did you suspect Valentine for a long time, so why did you let him go back to the United States?"
"Hell, I knew it was Valentine's madman who kidnapped Tilde, if it wasn't for James' old bastard proving to Valentin, and Tilde left with the bodyguards halfway, we would have found a reason to detain Valentine's madman, God, just find it," Wilson breathed a sigh of relief,
Then he complained, "You don't know, my uncle is going crazy these days, he either calls around to find a relationship during the day, or he leads his subordinates to look for a relationship without a purpose, and at night he drinks and forces my grandfather and my father to call to find a relationship,
It's almost two back and forth to be able to find a relationship, and there are 3 million pounds just spent on private detectives, not to mention the favors owed."
"Ha, I now know that no matter how bastard you are, you still have love for your children", William smiled, "People are in my house, the only requirement is that Tilde is that although I found it, I don't want to deal with your uncle, understand?"
"Actually, my uncle is still good."
"Stop, that's nothing to do with me, I don't want to get too close to your uncle, and in the end I will be implicated by him, and some things will not be washed away in my life", William pouted, "Remember to drive a bigger car when you come, so as not to be photographed by the paparazzi that Teald is at my house."
"OK, I'll get it done, see you later".
Hanging up, William went to the basement and opened the portal to the base of Yellowstone, carrying Tilde, who was stunned by Sunday, back to the London manor, and placing Tilde on the couch.
After a few minutes, Wilson came to the manor, and saw Tilde lying on the sofa without any image, Wilson gave William a blank look, "You can't be polite, she's a princess."
"She's the princess of your family, not mine", walked to the side of the wine cabinet, "What to drink?"
"No, I'll take Tilde back first, so as not to worry the family", after saying that, Wilson wrapped Tilde in a blanket, picked him up and walked out, and turned to William when he went out, "I heard that there is a Christie's Celestial Dynasty antiques special in the evening, are you interested in going to see it?"
William immediately became interested, "Looks like there's something good?"
"Hmm," Wilson nodded, "I heard that there are three bronze beast heads, and my cultural relics consultant said that it seems that the people of the Celestial Empire value this thing very much, and many people are opposing this auction."
As soon as he said this, William immediately understood what it was, the bronze head of the zodiac, the rat, the ox, and the tiger seemed to be auctioned this year, but shouldn't these three pieces be auctioned in a very fragrant port?
Without waiting for William to ask, Wilson said, "These three cultural relics were ready to be auctioned in April this year, but it seems that the owner of the cultural relics had a result of the bank loan at that time, so they were withdrawn from the auction, and now they are sent to the auction house, which should be a problem with the capital chain again."
"Very good, it's good if something goes wrong", William squinted and smiled, "See you at the auction in the evening".
"Huh?" Wilson hesitated for a few seconds before nodding, "See you in the evening."
He actually didn't want to go a little, there would definitely be people protesting outside the venue at this auction, and it wasn't necessarily a good thing for him to go, but after thinking about it, with William with him, he made up his mind to pay attention to the fact that he only watched and didn't auction today, and there shouldn't be anything wrong.
If there is a problem, Wilson intends to put the blame on William.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, after dinner, Lena heard that William was going to the auction, and asked the four members of Antonov's team to follow him with some anxiety.
Accustomed to being alone, William just wanted to refuse, but when Ivan, who was 2 meters tall and strong like a giant bear, walked in and changed his mind.
There must be a lot of people in the venue today, and I can't always appear in public alone, lest some little minions who don't know how powerful they will hit him with ideas.
So William nodded to his mother and Abigail, who looked expectant, and asked, "Mom, are you interested in going to the auction house?"
"No, I'm not interested in going to any auction after a busy day, but if you have the right jewelry, remember to buy it back", Lena said Abigail, who was looking forward to it, "by the way, I will help Abiy buy one".
"Let's go, Abi, let's go see the new Latour."
"Okay, Mrs. Lena", Abigail glanced at William who was silent, and saw that William was just smiling, but not speaking, Abigail couldn't help glaring at him fiercely, silent, and only lip-shaped to William, "You sleep by yourself at night."
Shrugging his shoulders, after Lena and Abigail were gone, William stood up and led the four Antonov to the parking lot.
Let the four of Antonov drive the Mercedes-Benz large-size SUV first, and after a few minutes, William drove an Aston Martin DB9 out of the back door of the manor, and without waiting for the paparazzi to react, he accelerated violently and shook off the paparazzi and came to the auction venue.
As soon as the car stopped, the four Antonovs walked to William's car and looked around vigilantly.
After observing for more than ten seconds to confirm that there was no problem, Antonov opened the car door for William.
As soon as he got out of the car, William saw dozens of young people, holding signs with anti-slogans written on them, standing in two rows outside the venue, shouting slogans against buying and selling to the guests who walked into the auction hall.
William pursed his lips, shouting slogans was useless, and threw the key in his hand to the parking boy and walked on the red carpet.
When William walked on the red carpet, the people around the venue exclaimed, "It's William Devon Hill, God, how did he come here."
"Are you an idiot?" said the next one with disdain, "haven't you heard those rumors?"
"What?"
"God, you are a rookie at first glance, there have always been rumors in our industry that William Devon Hill did not know who bought tens of thousands of antiques worth $1 billion from the Celestial Empire.
The things were placed in the basement vault of the Bank of England, and I heard that the entire vault with many antiques was about to fit in, so the Bank of England had to clean the basement two floors for his use."
"Don't talk about it, William Devon Hill is here."
