Chapter 040 [Shattered Splendour]
He Ping didn't know that the artwork he took out had a lot of origins, he just picked one that looked the most gorgeous, and when he was searching for treasures, he was treated the best, and he also used a display table to place the artwork, and took it out just to tease Trevor, but he didn't know that this artwork that Trevor called "the splendor of the eternal night" was actually the heirloom of the Lance family.
Most of the other things were looted, plundered or purchased by the Reims family, but only this splendor of the eternal night was awarded by His Majesty the Emperor of Auckland when the first Grand Duke of Reims was enthroned, this work of art is completely based on high-purity gold and silver and other precious metals, decorated with high-purity gemstones, and finally formed by the design of the imperial artist and the royal craftsman, which can be described as a priceless treasure, and it is also the face and lifeblood of the Reims family.
This artwork is of great significance to the Lance family, which is equivalent to a gold medal awarded by the then Emperor of Oakland to their family, as long as it is not a capital crime of bullying and rebellion, for the sake of the face of this artwork, the successive emperors of Oakland will not impose heavy penalties on the Lance family, this art has been passed down for so many generations, all the way to Trevor, and no one in the family doubts that this art will continue to be passed on with the continuation of the family.
Just a few days ago, Trevor originally planned to take Daniel, the envoy from the imperial capital, to visit the treasure vault, which of course used the treasure inside to please Daniel, but at the same time, let Daniel see the glory of the Lance family, and see the glory of the eternal night is also a major purpose of Trevor, such a baby, Trevor is not worried that Daniel will be greedy and want to take it for himself, Daniel, who has seen the world, must also understand what the emperor's imperial gift means.
But when the door of the treasure vault was opened, what was presented in front of Trevor and Daniel was an empty hall with nothing in it, and the loss of other gold and silver treasures certainly made Trevor's heart ache, but the disappearance of the glory of the eternal night made Trevor's heart sink to the bottom, it was a royal treasure, if this matter reached the ears of people who were at odds with the Lance family, and finally let the Oakland Emperor know, then the Lance family would be finished!
After that day, Trevor tightly sealed the news, thinking that he would slowly look for it after the recent chores were disposed of, but he didn't expect that this artwork would appear in He Ping's hands, and he took it out so aggressively, which is life-threatening! Thinking of this, Trevor's internal injuries caused by the theft of the treasure recurred, and a mouthful of blood spurted out in front of everyone, and his eyes were black and he almost fell off the horse, but fortunately, with the previous things to pave the way, he still relieved.
"It's you!" Trevor gritted his teeth and said fiercely, he was originally a purely civilian employee, but he actually said this with a hint of murderous aura, which shows how excited he is at this moment.
"That's right, it's me!" Although He Ping didn't understand why Trevor was so excited to see this thing, he could only attribute it to Trevor being a money-loving miser, and he was angry when he saw the lost property, but he didn't have any intention of hiding and refutating, and he generously admitted what he had done.
Zhao Zheng on the side was also startled when he saw the splendor of this eternal night, he had also seen this artwork when he was a child, and naturally knew how important this artwork was to the Lance family, and saw He Ping take it out casually, and still play there, which made Trevor worry for a while, Zhao Zheng's heart couldn't help but laugh, when he was a child, he also wanted to play, but he was severely reprimanded by Wolfe, and in the end he could only look at it from a distance, and he didn't even touch it.
Trevor took two deep breaths, finally calmed down a little, and said coldly to Heping: "Mr. He Ping, return the splendor of the eternal night to me, I only have this one request, as long as the things in your hand are handed over to me, I will not pursue all the other gold, silver and jewelry with this thing, and even what you want our Lance family to do, my request is not too much, right?" But if you refuse, you're the enemy of the Lance family, and no matter what the cost, I'll make you regret it!" ”
Threaten me? A sneer appeared on He Ping's face, after being reborn, what did he hate the most? Is someone threatening his family, with the experience of his previous life, his family is already his backscale, who touches who dies, what about the family? Of course it's himself, He Ping is a person who doesn't like others to threaten him, if someone threatens him, he will definitely make this life worse than death! The splendor of the eternal night, huh? It seems that this artwork means a lot to the Reims family!
Looking at the dangerous smile on He Ping's face, Trevor couldn't help but have a trace of fear in his heart, and he even regretted that what he said just now was a bit tough, but at this point, there seemed to be no better way, although the hint of foreboding in his heart became stronger and stronger, but Trevor still showed no signs of changing his words, still staring at He Ping with murderous eyes, and the glory of the eternal night in He Ping's hands.
At this moment, He Ping made a move that shocked everyone, he slowly stretched out his hand, holding the splendor of the eternal night in one hand, and put the splendor of the eternal night hanging aside, He Ping was riding on a horse at this time, the splendor of the eternal night was nearly two meters high from the ground, and only one of He Ping's hands was holding, that is, as long as He Ping let go of his hand, this heirloom imperial artwork would become a thing of the past.
Trevor was so frightened that his face turned green, what's the matter with this He Ping? Ignore his threats! You must know that although the Lance family is not the top wealthy family in the Auckland Empire, it is also a first-class family, if such a family does its best to take revenge on a person, even if this person has a big background, he will definitely be messed up, but why doesn't He Ping care? What is his dependence?
However, although Trevor was taken aback, he still had the last glimmer of hope in his heart, if He Ping didn't really care about the revenge of the Lance family, then now He Ping's actions are actually just a bluff, he didn't dare to really let go, and only this hope can allow Trevor to get back the glory of the eternal night, therefore, Trevor is gambling, betting that He Ping will not dare to let go, betting that He Ping will eventually return the glory of the eternal night.
But who is He Ping? Just when Trevor threatened him, he had already made up his mind, and seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted by his actions, the smile on He Ping's face was even worse, and under everyone's gaze, his hand was released! Under Trevor's terrified gaze, the splendor of the eternal night fell to the ground, and the artwork that was originally just a patchwork structure was so impacted that it turned into a pile of broken gold and silver and gems bouncing around the moment it came into close contact with the ground.
At this moment, everything is silent!
