Alexey's gray eyes flickered a few times, and he looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, it was hard to imagine that this was Sean's boss after he was discharged from the army. After losing his mind for a few seconds, he reacted and walked forward enthusiastically and gave a hug: "Oh, Hong, it's nice to meet you!" ”

"I'm glad to meet you too! I hope to have time to talk more in the future. Woye hugged him tightly.

After a warm hug, Sean confessed, handed over all the luggage to the receptionist, and said that he would go and chat with his old friend...... I nodded in agreement. So, the Russian and Sean made a big move to the restaurant of their choice to the west.

The housekeeper took out a handkerchief, looked at the noble ladies who were walking, wiped away the saliva of excitement, and whispered: "Ji, I'll go find our room first, and Miss Jiao must be found first." Let's see how she's prepared, and you'll just take a look at the nearby terrain here, right? ”

"Okay, go ahead, I'll take care of myself." With that, everyone separated.

Tonight, it is not destined to be quiet.

I followed the passage. Walking along the way, carefully looking at the facilities in the aisle. I found that the defensive measures on this have reached a very high level, and I don't know if we can change it and steal it. If you can't escape, it's a big joke, ha...... With a joke in my heart, I went to the venue where the exhibition was going to be held tonight.

The venue for the exhibition is located on the fourth deck. A huge crystal chandelier in the center of the venue is eye-catching enough.

At this time, it was the golden hour, and many VIPs in dresses had already gathered. Wine glasses in hand, or in groups of three, or in groups of five, talking about something with high interest.

A waiter walked over with a wine tray...... Well, I just met a Russian, and it's not bad to try vodka, it should be about the same as the second pot head. Thinking of this, I took a cup.

Sitting at a table quietly sipping wine, my eyes were secretly looking at the cameras around me, and about twenty cameras were spotted by me. It's hard to find blind spots to get started. Ay......

Time is also quietly passing as I move more. There are more and more visitors, and it flows into the bottle like a stream of water. Guests with invitations. They have all arrived here with the fullest enthusiasm. It seems that there are many old customers of the Kondo Foundation......

Suddenly, the crystal chandelier of the zenith lit up with a "brush"! Almost in the limelight, a young lady of about thirty years old, dressed in a black evening gown, was escorted by two people of the era in white suits. Slowly walked in through the side door.

Suddenly, there was applause in the president.

She stood in the center of the exhibition, took a small megaphone, spoke fluent English, and said to everyone with a smile; "Distinguished gentlemen and ladies, it is a pleasure to be able to come aboard the 'Tower Curtain Paint'! It's also a great honor for me to host you, I'm Tomoko Kondo from the Kondo Group. Not. Today's show is very special, we have delivered all the exhibits to you, so that you can observe its beauty up close. Well, our exhibition officially begins, please. As he spoke, he looked at a camera directly in front of him. Gesture.

So, soothing music came out, and hundreds of emcees in samurai costumes slowly walked out along with the music. In their hands, they carried a plate with bunches of beaded flowers on it. In fact, it is a brooch, and I saw the precious things on it, but it was a black pearl.

The VIPs all looked at the jewels in their hands in confusion. I don't understand what the Kondo family is up to?

Kondo Tomoko heard the commotion below, and immediately smiled to answer everyone's questions, she glanced at the brooch on the plate, and said with a smile; "Look, this is the heirloom of our Kondo family, the 'Black Star'! He's nearly a hundred years old! It is not a miracle that a pearl can survive such a long period of time without losing its original luster. Of course. Pearls still can't compare to diamonds, and perhaps this is where our heirloom charm lies. ”

As he spoke, he put on a white silk glove, picked up a brooch and put it on his left chest, and continued to explain: "And tonight, why is our exhibition so special? That is, this heirloom. It has been distributed to everyone. Hehe, but don't think that we have so many family heirlooms, in fact, there is only one real family heirloom. It will be worn on the person who best suits its identity. ”

"Okay, the show starts now, let's enjoy it." Tomoko Kondo smiled deeply, glanced down at the brooch on her chest, picked up a glass of red wine to accompany her meal, walked off the stage, walked into the circle of a group of noble ladies she knew, and talked and laughed softly.

When the guests heard this explanation, they all laughed, and it turned out to be like this. But in an instant, another doubt rose. They looked at the brooch in their hands and didn't know if it was real or fake. However, when they saw that the samurai around them were motioning for them to put on the brooch, they had no choice but to put it on with a strange heart.

In front of me, a samurai, speaking a broken Chinese with a northeastern flavor, said to me carefully: "Distinguished Chinese guest, Mr. Hong. Please put it on and watch it slowly, right? ”

Oh, so every guest has been recorded. If it is stolen, it will be found on that person's body. I put on a pair of black gloves and smiled back; "Okay, thanks."

Put the brooch on your right chest and look carefully when you keep it down. This black pearl is not only shiny and bright, but also extremely round. The feeling of starting is like spring and autumn. I couldn't help but be surprised and said, "I can't be real, right?" ”

"Haha, this gentleman looks so young. Well, it may be true, but it may not be true. But I'd rather believe it's fake than real, excuse me, isn't there no friend of yours here in this position? Can I sit here? "A sturdy brown-haired man with dark blue eyes came to me in a gentle manner and asked.

His words pulled me back from my thoughts. I looked up at him, quickly stood up, stretched out my hand, and said with a smile: "Hello, of course, you can sit here." ”

He looked at the black gloves a little stunned, and he was also a little stunned at the action of reaching out. But suddenly remembered something, and immediately shook it heavily, and said with a smile: "Thank you, introduce yourself." From Antony, Italy. Sir, hmm, your last name? That's how it should be asked. ”

I chuckled, "Ha, that's right, that's what I asked." Mr. Anthony. Hello! Please sit, I, the three water workers of Hong, a single name and a good word. ”

"Oh, Mr. Hong, that's good." Anthony let out a happy 'oh' twice, leaned his head over, and asked softly, "The Italian mafia?" ”

Originally, I thought I had some interesting little story to tell me. Such a mysterious approach. But when he heard him say this, he was immediately unhappy, sat up straight, looked at him very seriously and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about." Why do you want to say that I am involved with the mafia? You should know that there is no triad in China. ”

"Oooh. I'm sorry, I don't know, please forgive me for being rude, I'm here to apologize to you. Waite, a glass of whiskey. He was a little embarrassed, apologized again and again, and greeted a waiter who had just walked by not far away.

When the wine arrived, he raised his glass and brought it to me, and drank it all. Pick up a piece of paper, wipe the corners of your mouth and say, "As soon as you drink it all, the unpleasantness we just now will disappear with the wine!" I'm sorry, but I think your gloves look very similar. So ......"

I waved my hand again and again: "Oh, I'm sorry, I repeat, nothing. Hmm, shall we change the subject? I would like to ask, do you think the two of us have a real 'dark star' pinned to our chests? ”

He didn't seem to hear me, but looked disdainfully at a fat middle-aged man who was foaming at the mouth and talking. Quietly took out a pair of black gloves from his pocket, lowered his head and put them on, muttering, "Hmph, did you see it?" The gentleman, who seemed to be very rich, wore eight gold rings on ten fingers, which was so tacky that it was clear at a glance that he was an upstart who had not been educated in etiquette. ”

Speaking of this, he took out a handkerchief from the pocket on his chest, gently wiped the black pearl on his chest, and did not answer, but asked: "China Hong, are the two treasures you said we have on our body true?" Or are they all fakes? ”

Well, I don't know what he means now...... But when he asked, he took a closer look at the pearl on his chest, and then lowered his head to examine the one on my chest. Surprised, he replied quietly: "Maybe you don't know, I am very experienced in the identification of treasures, and I can say with certainty that the two pearls on our chests are bred by very precious wild pearl mussels." Speaking of which, I had been stunned for a while, looking at his smiling face, a little embarrassed, "But, there won't be two 'dark stars', right?" ”

Anthony laughed, took a sip of the wine, and then cocked his thumb and said, "China Hong, you are such an interesting person, yes, I believe in your vision." These two of our little treasures are wonderful and precious pearls, but the 'Black Star' doesn't have two. So, who do you say is the one who is most suitable for the 'Dark Star'? Don't look at me, and don't look at yourself, because we've all been excluded, hahaha! Speaking of the back, he laughed out loud, not knowing if he was laughing because he couldn't carry the dark star, or why.

Best fit for the "Dark Star"?

Hearing him say this, and then watching how he made a few movements, I immediately realized it! Aha! Yes, most pearls are white, black pearls are very rare, and their preciousness is comparable to that of colored diamonds. And the Kondo Foundation will give us such a precious thing to wear? Aren't you afraid we'll get it away?

Moreover, the main component of pearls is carbonate. When it comes into contact with grease and some acidic substances, it will replace the luster on its surface and lose the luster of the pearl...

Looking at Anthony in front of him, he was lowering his head at this time, carefully wiping the black pearl on his chest with a handkerchief, which showed that he also knew this.

Looking at the people around them, there are also a few VIPs who are holding handkerchiefs and touching the black pearls on their chests. However, there are some people who carry them with their bare hands without gloves or handkerchiefs... Seeing this, I couldn't help but shake my head, feeling sorry for the "dark star" of the Kondo Group.

But why do these pearls each one exude their due brilliance? With my eyesight, I'm absolutely sure that these black pearls are rare and good, but it can't be that every one of them is a 'dark star'......

Just when I couldn't figure it out, the chandelier went out with a bang. All the lights in the hall were completely lost, and the whole venue was completely plunged into darkness! The timid lady has already screamed in horror!

And at this darkest moment, the central chandelier suddenly emitted a flash of light, "fluttering" a burst of smoke curling up, and the flash illuminated the smoke with colorful light, which was very attractive. This sudden occurrence drew everyone's eyes to the crystal chandelier!

"Hahahaha! Ladies and gentlemen, I am the world's number one thief, and I have not only discovered the exact location of the Kondo Group's heirloom 'Black Star', but he has also been acquired by me!" Above the chandelier, stood a man wearing a black mask, dressed in a white suit, with a red cape behind him. The left hand is held at the base of the chandelier, while the right hand holds a flashlight and hits the light on his face.

The guests were in an uproar and reached out to their chests in the darkness to see if the brooches they were wearing had disappeared.

I didn't look to see if the pearl on my chest was gone, I was just stunned, who was impersonating me?

The appearance of "stealing the arts" really surprised many people. But it surprised me even more, who would dare to impersonate me and slander my voice?

Uh, although I also have the intention of acquiring the "Lacquer Wing Star", but will my skills be like this'The appearance of the person who impersonated me is too bad... It really annoys me......

"Hmph, what about 'stealing art'? Attack!" In the crowd, a hoarse male voice sounded, which made everyone feel a little reassured.

As soon as this man's voice fell, the Japanese samurai in samurai uniforms took out a shining blade from under the plate of wine and fruit, as thin as cicada wings.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The continuous sound of breaking the sky, coupled with a sharp whistle, countless blades were inserted into the body of the "stealing art", and the mask was broken by the sound of "stuck"... Many blades were on his body, and suddenly, bright red blood flowers came out of his body...... "pounce, pounce...... And the flashlight seemed to have eyes stuck on the crystal chandelier and did not fall, and the light that flashed out just illuminated his entire face very clearly! What kind of face is that, what a hideous ......
