Although the other porcelain and ancient paintings from the Yongle Ceremony were also very precious, their cultural value was definitely not as important as the Yongle Ceremony. That was why the five experts patiently asked Abigail to call William to hurry back to England.
The reason why William had stayed in New York for two days was that his paranoia was acting up again. Not only did he get Sunday to conduct a comprehensive investigation on Baron Daniel Kabore, who had suddenly appeared on the Internet, he even got Sunday to spend money to secretly hire a staff member from the English Aristocrat Archives to retrieve information.
William definitely wouldn't meet this Kabore if he didn't find out who he was. After all, there weren't many people who knew that he was trading with Duke Devin and the others.
While William was thinking about this, he suddenly heard Sunday say, "Sir, Miss Abigail is calling."
"Damn, didn't I ask her to tell the experts that I still have something to deal with?" Hearing that it was Abigail's call, William had a headache. He collapsed on the sofa and said helplessly, "Put it through."
"Hello, good evening, Boss. I hope I didn't disturb you and Miss Ambrosio."
Hmm? So she's speaking in Chinese? "If I say yes, will you hang up?" William said impatiently, "Are the five experts beside you?"
"Then I can only apologize in advance, Boss. I'm being watched by five old men who are old enough to be my grandfather. You should understand my situation."
"Say it, what's the matter?" William said helplessly.
"Ten minutes ago, that Baron Daniel Kabore came over with a box. Inside it was a set of 24 Literary Sources Pavilion's Complete Book of the Four Libraries. After seeing this batch of ancient books, the five old men from the Celestial Empire were about to go crazy. They held onto Baron Daniel Kabore and refused to let him go. They only let him go when you come back and buy it," Abigail said with a smile.
"Complete Book of the Four Libraries? Aren't there three complete sets in existence? One of them was damaged and then repaired? I remember that the Literary Sources Pavilion's Complete Book of the Four Libraries is the most complete set. "
"Please, Boss, I'm talking about Wen Yuan Pavilion, not Wen Yuan Pavilion. God, there are too many similar words in Chinese, I'll just use English to tell you."
Abigail muttered, "Why haven't you left yet? These ordinary sentences can express at least four different meanings. I've studied Chinese for six years, but most of the time, I still can't accurately understand the meaning of what they say."
William chuckled and said, "Alright, stop muttering and tell me what happened."
"Okay, according to the records of several experts, the Literary Sources Pavilion's Complete Book of the Four Libraries was burned in that unjust and disgraceful war 140 years ago. The 24 books that appeared this time are probably the only set of Literary Sources Pavilion's Complete Book of the Four Libraries in the world.
The five experts hope that you can immediately return to London to talk to Daniel Kabore and see if he still has this version of the Four Libraries in his hands. If he does, they strongly recommend that you purchase it.
This is the only one of its kind, and its value in literature, history, and money is very, very high. If you miss this opportunity, you'll definitely regret it in the future. "
"You should know why I don't want to meet that guy called Kabore now, right?" William scratched his head, and the suspicion in his heart grew. This motherf * cker could take out all these unique Chinese national treasures to find him. Even if he didn't have any intention of harming him, the things he wanted to ask for were definitely more valuable.
However, it would be a pity if he didn't meet William when he kept using national treasures to bait him. He thought that if he wanted money, then everything would be fine. At this time, the prices of Chinese antiques weren't that high, and buying them would definitely make him look good, and they would also be more valuable than gold and jewels.
If the other party's request was too high, or if he had other motives, William secretly swore in his heart. He had to let the baron know that he shouldn't show off his wealth.
"I'll return to London tomorrow and meet that Baron Kabore at Gordon's Restaurant in Chelsea tomorrow night. I'll treat him to dinner, and you'll accompany me."
"Okay, Boss, then I'll have to ask for leave today. I don't have an evening gown to attend the banquet," Abigail laughed.
"Okay, buy whatever you want. That's all, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, Boss."
After hanging up the phone, Ambrosius walked back to William after sitting on the sofa for a few seconds. He sat beside him and rolled his eyes at him. "You're back to England so soon?"
"Yeah, help me prepare dinner tonight, I want to treat a guest to dinner," William said to Ambrosius with a natural expression. He didn't have the awkward expression of being caught by his girlfriend having an affair with another woman.
Since Ambrosius didn't ask him, he wouldn't take the initiative to say it. Anyway, he only had an ambiguous relationship with Abigail, a woman who stayed by his side because of work. He didn't even remember the other women's names after playing with them.
Compared to those rich men who fooled around and sucked flour, William admitted that he wasn't a good man, but he was still a decent man. If she wanted to meddle in this kind of private matter, William wouldn't let Ambrosius do as she pleased.
However, Ambrosius was a smart person and knew William's bottom line. Although she didn't mention Abigail, it didn't mean that she really didn't care at all. She pulled William's mouth and blocked his mouth. Just as William relaxed, her eyes lit up and she pinched William's waist hard.
"Hiss." This time, this girl really did it. William sucked in a breath of cold air, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't make a sound.
Ambrosius kissed William for more than ten seconds before she separated and said, "Dear, what dishes do you want to prepare for dinner? If it's too troublesome, I can only ask the chef to come. Also, who are the guests? What wine do you want to prepare? "
William rolled his eyes. His waist was no longer in pain. He said angrily, "You've seen them before. They're Brian, Sam, and the others who protected you. Just make some Brazilian barbecued meat and special dishes.
Also, call the distributor of Macallan whiskey in New York for me. Ask him if he doesn't want to earn more money. Why hasn't he sent me the whiskey I need in two days? "
"No problem, dear." Ambrosius narrowed her eyes and looked at William who was touching his waist. Finally, she couldn't help laughing. She slapped William's chest and said with a smile, "Asshole, why did my anger disappear after you hugged me a few times? Did you cast a spell on me, dear?"
What a drama queen. William knew that this girl was acting when he saw Ambrosius's eyes. She was afraid that William would be angry after she hurt him, so she deliberately said those words to please him. Her love for him might be real, but if she said that William had other women outside, her anger would disappear after just a pinch, William would never believe it. No woman could be so generous.
