It wasn't until they were ushered into the glittering ball that Anthony and Jennifer were rejuvenated by the opulent scenery of high society.

Experiencing everything that had happened before, the two of them only felt like they were in a dream.

Although the salary of working in Blacklight Technology is not low, there is still a big gap between them and the real giants, and it is the first time for the two to see this kind of top-level dinner.

"By the way, Mr. Clifford." After the middle-aged man left, Jennifer asked in a low voice, "Is that the person who hosted this ball?" ”

"Yes, his name is Gross, you can call him Mr. Gross."

Clifford nodded, and when he saw someone coming towards him, he said to the two of them, "Let's go around first, and we'll talk about the matter after I've said hello to these old friends." ”

"Don't worry about us, you're light."

Anthony and Jennifer nodded hurriedly and turned to walk away.

There was no dress code for the party, so the workwear of the two of them would blend in with the atmosphere without being too obtrusive.

Walking to a quieter corner, Jennifer showed a look of envy in his eyes, "Is this the life of high society?" How come I have never seen Mr. Chan do this? ”

"After all, Mr. Chen is a new wealthy family, and his heritage and culture are definitely not as good as here, these are decades or even hundreds of years old."

Anthony lamented, "And Mr. Chen is from Middle-earth after all, and the culture is completely different, as far as I know, there is really no custom of holding balls and parties in Middle-earth." ”

"What if you compete for influence?"

Jennifer asked in a low voice, "Can these giants compare to Mr. Chen?" ”

"The influence of ordinary wealthy families is definitely not comparable to Mr. Chen's."

Anthony affirmed, "Although Mr. Chen is a new wealthy family, he has completed capital accumulation early, and it is even enough to compete with the entire recuperation industry. ”

"But it's hard to say about the top giants, after all, the heritage of hundreds of years is there, if Blacklight Technology and those top giants face each other, I'm afraid the outcome will be unpredictable, my opinion is that it's ...... five-five."

"Isn't it too high to think of Mr. Chen?"

Jennifer was a little surprised, "Although I admit that Mr. Chen is very remarkable, these top families who stand behind the governments of North America and Europe can influence government decisions. ”

"That's true, but don't forget that there are more than a dozen wealthy families and consortia standing behind Mr. Chen." "And, you think the company is only as simple as it seems?" ”

"What do you mean......" Jennifer asked, bewildered.

"I've been working at Blackwater for so long, I'm sure you're aware of it, right?"

Anthony lowered his voice, "Arms smuggling, for example, is already a well-known secret, and the company has hundreds of heavily armed security departments. S (Black Security Services), and in addition to that, there's the 'Black Knights' Rapid Reaction Force under the Terra Branch, which even has armored vehicles and helicopter gunships......"

"As soon as you say that, sure enough, our company immediately became taller."

Jennifer nodded, excited.

Just as the two were chatting while holding champagne, the middle-aged man at the door suddenly walked up to the spiral staircase, stood on the steps and clapped his hands at everyone.

Suddenly, the stereo in the hall turned off, and everyone at the dinner party looked over in unison.

Anthony and Jennifer also stopped talking.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

The middle-aged man known as Gross appears to be wearing foundation, and his face is pale, and his cheekbones are protruding in the light of a crystal chandelier, like a vampire in the Middle Ages.

He said with a smile on his face, "The reason why I invite you to come this time is not only to provide you with a place for entertainment, but also because I want to show you something very important, and now I ask the gentlemen and ladies standing at the top of the stairs to step back." ”

With Gross's words, several men and women subconsciously retreated, giving way to an open space in front of the stairs.

"As you all know, I'm not only an entrepreneur, but also a collector who likes to collect precious objects, and this time, my construction team discovered ...... in a gold mine."

With Gross's words, three jewelry display tables slowly rose from the ground, and when they saw this scene, the crowd let out an exclamation, obviously not expecting that there was something in front of the stairs.

"Let's go, let's see."

Seeing this, Anthony and Jennifer also stepped forward curiously, standing in the crowd and looking at the rising jewelry stand.

After all, the things that can be favored by Gross must be some valuable things, and even if you can't get it, it's good to have a little knowledge.

These jewelry display stands are not much different from the display tables in museums, they are all separated by transparent glass containers on the upper floor, to prevent people from unconsciously getting their hands on them, and these glasses are specially treated, which is a kind of anti-theft glass, even if you shoot it, you may not be able to penetrate it.

As the display platform continued to rise, everyone finally saw the things in the display platform, and inside the three display platforms were actually three stone statues!

Anthony looked at it, and saw that the three statues were all carved from stone, as if they had been gone through a long time, and the lines were a little blurred, and the three statues seemed to be a series, like three human heads, and the expressions on their faces were extremely strange.

The first statue has closed eyes, and one of its ears is pointed and long, even extending beyond its head, like a man with rabbit ears.

The second statue, on the other hand, has open eyes, but it has a pair of eye sockets, which are sunken in, and the eyes are as black as an abyss in the light of the ball.

The third statue, with its ears and eyes, was normal, but one of its mouths was so wide that it stretched the entire face by more than a third, and the inside of the mouth was pitch black, as if it could swallow anyone's sight.

When he saw these three statues, Anthony's first impression was only two words: weird.

The quaint lines, the strange shape, I don't know if it's an illusion, the moment I saw these three statues, the lights of the entire venue seemed to be dimmed.

"Oh God, look at the quaint lines on it, look at the traces of time on it, I can't believe it......"

After a brief silence in the crowd, some people suddenly exclaimed, after all, it was Gross who took it out, so the authenticity was not questioned by everyone.

"Mr. Gross, is this an artifact from the Mayan period?"

"I think it's from the ancient Hellenistic period!"

"It's not like the style of the ancient Greek period, in my opinion, it should be a statue of the Sumerian civilization......"

Everyone has different opinions, but in fact, most of them are to give Gross a face, so as not to be cold.

"What an ugly statue......"

Jennifer on the side whispered, "Anthony, do you know what period this style is?" ”

"I can't recognize it, there are so many experts here, there must be someone who can recognize it." Anthony shook his head.
