It was half past six in the evening, but it was impossible to distinguish day and night from the lights in the black coffin, and only a few penthouses had panoramic windows overlooking the outside.

Michael shook my hand again, holding the statue and carefully tucking it to his side, saying, "Thank you again, you've helped me so much for what you've done." ”

I asked, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, but have you forgotten the great gift you promised?" ”

Michael laughed, "I'm so dizzy with joy, come, see what I've got in store for you." ”

He whistled, and out of the far café ran a man in a tuxedo, with neat long hair and a mustache, about forty years of age, with bags under his eyes like a panda, the typical image of a lifeless, rigid and loyal butler.

He said, "Young Master, you must not take such an adventure next time, the old minister is really worried about you." The man's tone was flat, not as worried as he claimed to be.

Michael said, "My dear Jean Salem, you know that you can't control me, so why do you try to persuade me again and again? And I have turned danger into danger time and time again, which proves that I am capable of dealing with all kinds of dangers. ”

In fact, if it weren't for me, you would probably have died.

Jean Vallen bowed and said, "As you wish." ”

Michael said, "Now, what about the things I asked you to bring?" ”

Jean Vallen took out a small box, about the size of his palm, and inside the box was a silver diamond ring with a purple gem the size of a petal at the top of the diamond ring.

Michael smiled, took the diamond ring, solemnly placed it in my hand, and said: "This is the masterpiece of Master Mavi Eden, a fine purple gemstone ring that comes once in ten years, and I personally named it and wrote an inscription, called 'Silver Poem'." Happy newlywed, Mr. Fishbone Longinus. ”

Does he know about my marriage? The news is really well-informed. But I couldn't hide my disappointment and said, "That's it? Then you should return the statue of Ixes to me. ”

Jean Valeng gasped, Le Gang smiled when he heard this, and Michael was even more surprised, he said: "I didn't understand, you want me to 'give you back' the statue of the goddess?" ”

I said, "Yes, this statue must be priceless, and your gemstone ring is not worth a lot of money." ”

Michael said: "Allow me to repeat, I, the Marquis of Michael Tiado, the righteous son of the current consul Radiant Tiado, and the mayor of the thirtieth and fortieth floors, and the owner of the Black Coffin Classical Museum, now ask me to 'give back' this rare and dear statue of the goddess Mayan Iax, whose hands are not yet hot?" ”

I listened to him ramble, his head was as big as a fight, and he shouted, "Yes! This house was bought with my money, and this statue was taken from the house, and I took it from the lady's bosom with my own hands, and this statue is not mine? You're just giving me such a gadget and sending it away? ”

Michael glared at me and said, "Gadgets? You vulgar don't know how much this ring is worth? Not to mention my inscription, the craftsmanship of the Master of Eden alone is destined to be worth more than two million gold dollars! ”

I was fooled, and I was unmoved by the fact that he blew me all over the place, and let them say that I was crazy about money, and I didn't care. I shouted, "You give me 20,000,000 credits, which will be remitted to the account of my Mercury Firm, and not a dime will be missing!" Then the statue will be yours. ”

Jean Vareng winked at me, Legang leaned back leisurely, showing a shallow smile, Michael opened his arms and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh my God! What a fool, what a fool! 20 million credit is like a drop in the bucket for me, are you sure you don't want this gift? ”

I said, "Don't talk nonsense, pay for it, or leave the statue behind." I have lost all my money by this mansion, and I must not suffer your losses again! ”

I didn't realize how powerful Michael was at the time, and if he wanted to kill me, he wouldn't have to do it himself, even if he wanted to kick me out of the black coffin, it would be a matter of words. When I told Lamia about the wedding afterwards, I was reminded by her that I was really frightened and afraid.

Michael looked at me, and then at the statue of the goddess, his expression became cloudy, and he whispered, "You don't accept the kindness I gave you?" I treat you as a friend, don't you recognize it? Very good, very good...."

Le Gang said suddenly: "Mr. Fishbone, this way, I will give you 50 million credits, a transfer in black and white, Tong Su is not deceitful, how about you sell this mansion and the statue to me together?" ”

I was overjoyed and overjoyed and asked, "Really?" That's ......"

Le Gang said to himself in a very low voice: "I think very clearly, the curse of the mansion has been broken, from now on, this is a unique spot in the entire black coffin, not to mention 50 million, even if 100 million credits can't be bought, I don't need to live in the meantime, just take someone to visit the fee, and I can pay back in two months." ”

My heart sank, and I hurriedly said, "You.... Let me think again. ”

The people in the black coffin are very cunning, and this Le Gang is probably not stupid, he will not make a loss-making deal. If he wants to buy it, I must not sell it, otherwise I will definitely be the one who suffers.

Le Gang said loudly: "What do you want? You're so mother-in-law. ”

My brain teaser was in a hurry, but it was actually a mess, and I couldn't help but say, "I'm not selling!" ”

Le Gang sighed and said, "Really? What a pity! You're so shrewd. ”

He couldn't be wrong when he said that, he tried to lie to me, but he lost, and lost the battle of wits against me.

Le Gang said: "Then, I am willing to spend 30 million credits to buy this statue." ”

I had an impulse and shouted: "Cheng..." The word "handover" was swallowed by me again before it could be spoken, and I understood that there must be fraud in it.

"Once the deal is sold, you have nothing to do with this statue from now on, and anyone who asks you must tell them that it was I" Legang Tiado who took this treasure out of the haunted house!" You didn't put in the slightest effort. ”

I asked, "Why?" ”

Legang whispered to Michael: "I will deposit this treasure in your museum, and note that the person who found it is me, and let people look at it, and they will ask about the origin of this amazing antiquity, and over time everyone will hear about my heroic deeds and high skills." For me, fame is far more important than money, and only the most discerning person values money above all else. ”

Michael thought for a moment and said, "It's better for you to think it through." ”

Their words were again understood by me, who was sensitive to my ears, and I immediately came to my senses and shouted, "Wait! I... I have another condition! ”

Michael laughs, "I'm listening." ”

I said, "I give you this statue, but on condition you have to place it in a museum, and it should be noted: 'It was Fishbone Longinus, the owner of the thirty-story Henry Mansion, who discovered and found it!'" ’”

Michael hung his head and smiled wryly, "Well, you're really good at bargaining." ”

Hearing Le Gang sigh again, I was triumphant, knowing that I had once again won out from his ruse.

"However, I admire the extraordinary abilities you have shown in the course of this adventure," said Michael. So, this Silver Poetry Gemstone Ring is my gift to congratulate you on your wedding. ”

It's better than nothing, this gadget is certainly a worthless fake, but it can be given to Lamia, I heard that the marriage here is to give a diamond ring, and Michael's previous deceptive words are not bad, I can quote it, maybe it can make Lamia happy.

I accepted the gift and said indifferently, "Thank you." ”

Le Gang and Michael met their eyes, and Michael nodded: "That's it, my friend, goodbye, you go and meet your beautiful bride quickly." ”

I didn't know Michael's unique rules at the time, he would give gifts to his chosen "friends", and once he accepted his gifts, he accepted being his friend, he would never betray me, and I would never betray him.

On the contrary, if I don't accept it, I become his enemy.

The reason why Le Gang went to great lengths to trick me into accepting the ring was actually to help me escape in disguise.

It was at that moment that the long and wonderful friendship between me and them began.

Michael ordered Jean Salem to take me to a clothing store on the forty-third floor for a long bath and fitting fit, where the wedding dresses were staggeringly expensive, but the clerk was so frightened that they were willing to give them away for free.

I suspect there must be something else wrong with this, maybe like the mask and the real estate bureau colluded to swindle something from me, but I don't see any harm for the time being.

When I was done, I looked at the clock and was furious—it was already 7:25, and I had to get to the 40th floor of Normandy as soon as possible!

Jean Fleng said: "Sir, don't worry, wear a dress, act elegantly, like a gentleman, do not have a trace of wrinkles...."

I ran and waited for the slow elevator, and by the time I reached the 40th floor, it was already 7:30.

I barely caught up, after all, I want to eat soft rice, take people with short hands, eat people with soft mouths.

Lamia stood in the street in a crisp white dress and light makeup, indescribably beautiful, just like the models who came out of old magazines, surrounded by Salvatore and Betty, and a dozen or so Ranger subordinates.

When I saw her, and when she saw me, Lamia laughed, "Ah, you're pretty good." ”

I picked her up and kissed her, forgetting that she was a biomorph, heavier than me, and nearly broke my arm. Betty shouted, "Hey! It's bad luck to kiss the bride before the wedding! ”

I shouted, "Didn't you kiss it a long time ago?" ”

Betty said, "But you can't do that before the wedding!" When she looked at my dress, she jumped back in surprise and shouted, "Are you the brand of the Zuofo Ancient Road?" ”

Judging by her expression, this dress seems to be worth a lot of money, didn't Jean Vallene lie to me?

Betty said: "Zuofo Ancient Road is a top aristocratic brand, worn by the nobles of the 80th floor. ”

Lamia whispered in my ear, "Where did you get the money, could it be that you stole it?" ”

I laughed and said, "yes, are you going to arrest me?" ”

Lamia smiled: "Catch it or not, but you can steal a set for me next time?" ”

Her forehead touched mine, and the warm current of happiness wrapped the two of us together, making me forget the ups and downs, life and death before.

At this time, Sdeen came over, his expression was blank, and he said, "Sir, I can't find a witness. ”
