Kaboré smiled, "No, I think you must be very confused about why I came to find you, so it's simpler for us to be direct, to avoid unnecessary suspicion."
"Very well, it seems that our initial contact is not bad. Then, can you tell me how you found out that I was buying Chinese antiques and directly found Abigail?"
"Mr. Devonshire, you should know by now that my ancestors are nobles of Devonshire, right?" Kaboré said seriously.
William nodded.
"My family's experience is actually similar to yours, the only difference is that your grandfather, Mr. Henry Devonshire, borrowed money to inherit the title and sold the family property to pay off the debt, while my family gave up the title and secretly transferred the wealth. After evading taxes, we could only leave England to live in Paris.
However, going to Paris doesn't mean that the Kaboré family and the nobles of Devonshire stopped contacting each other. In fact, not only did we not stop contacting each other, but because of some secret business, we became closer together. "
"For example," William noticed Kaboré's gaze and smiled, "if you don't mind."
"There's nothing that can't be said, after all, decades have passed. If you want to hear it, then I'll tell you directly," Kaboré said with a smile, "After the war, French red wine was sold for 10 francs in Paris, and in East Germany, it could be sold for 100 or even 500 francs.
The nobles have channels in the army and the government. My family and some other families living in Western Europe have goods, so although the Kaboré family lost their noble title after the war, they lived a good life and had a lot of spare money to buy some antiques. So when he heard that you were buying Chinese antiques, Duke Devonshire called me. He knows that I'm short of money recently, so … "
While Kaboré was talking, he suddenly realized that William's eyes and attention were no longer on him, but on the street outside.
"Mr. Devonshire," Kaboré asked, "Is there a problem?"
William turned around when he heard the voice. He carefully looked at Kaboré in front of him and then at the Asian man in a white suit on the street. "Please wait a moment, Mr. Kaboré." He snapped his fingers at the waiter standing not far away.
The waiter heard him and walked over. William pointed at the Asian man in a white suit leaning against the car door and said to the waiter, "Please invite that gentleman over, thank you."
The waiter followed William's finger and saw an Asian man looking at them, "It's my pleasure to serve you, Mr. Devonshire." He then turned around and walked out of the VIP room.
William waved at the man in a white suit and then turned to look at Kaboré... he now knew which Kaboré this was Kaboré, so he smiled and said said, "For your particle Accelerator experiment."
"Hmm? I didn't expect you to have such a strong source of information. It's still in the initial stage of the project, and you've already found out everything in less than three days. "Kaboré looked at William in surprise. Seeing that William had no intention of explaining, he shook his head and said," Forget it, if someone suddenly comes to me, I'll also investigate carefully. It's better if you know, so I don't have to waste my time explaining things to you. "
Watching the waiter walk out of the restaurant and walk towards the man in the white suit, William said to Kaboré without turning his head, "Very good, I like to be direct. Tell me how many Chinese antiques you can sell me, or just tell me how much money you need to build your particle accelerator laboratory."
"This, this." Kaboré was shocked by William's generosity in not treating money as money.
William turned to look at the nervous Kaboré and said with a smile, "It's okay, Kaboré. You're a scientist, not a businessman, so let's be direct."
"Alright, sir, you're indeed a good partner. Selling the wealth collected by my ancestors does make me a little embarrassed, but I'm a scientist. For the sake of my ideas and the better development of my family, I can only sell those useless things."
"How much?" William interrupted Kaboré's long speech impatiently. He wasn't in the mood to listen to this nonsense.
Kaboré was a little scared by William's stare, so he hurriedly said, "500 million USD. If I can secretly make a deal with you like the Duke of Devonshire and the others, then you only need to pay 400 million USD in cash for the 500 million USD worth of Chinese antiques. If the deal is done, I'll use my connections to transport the antiques directly to Oxford Castle in Devonshire. You can find someone to appraise them and then pay me in cash."
"Hehe." A strange smile appeared on William's face as he grinned at Daniel Kabore. "The idea of transporting the antiques directly to the castle was your wife's idea, right, Daniel?"
"Yes!" Kaboré revealed an ugly smile when he heard this.
"Don't worry, this is the first time I've met your wife. I'm not interested in a married woman," William narrowed his eyes and looked into Kaboré's eyes. "Your wife was also involved in the idea of selling the antiques to me, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Devonshire," Kaboré wasn't an idiot. On the contrary, someone who could do research on their own and had progressed to the point where they needed to build a particle accelerator laboratory was definitely a smart person. After thinking for a few seconds, Kaboré's expression turned ugly. "Is there a problem with Anna?"
At this moment, the waiter had already knocked on the door and entered the VIP lounge with the man in the white suit. William turned and waved at the man, indicating for him to come over.
Then, he reached out and patted Kaboré's shoulder. The last pat was a little too forceful. "The deal is done. As for the appraisal and the types of antiques, I'll have to trouble you to talk to those experts. Is that okay?"
"Okay," William's last pat was obviously stronger than the previous few times. Kaboré immediately understood that William had answered his question. Seeing the man in the white suit walk over, he understood tacitly and said, "Mr. Devonshire, I'll talk to those experts about the types and grades of the antiques. It's a pleasure working with you. I won't disturb you any further."
Kaboré smiled and reached out his hand to shake William's. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. We'll talk about the specific payment and method of receiving the antiques later. Or, if you trust me, you can send the antiques directly to London. As long as there's no problem with the antiques, I'll get someone to send the money to your manor."
"Understood, sir. I'll do as you say. I'll get someone to send the antiques directly to your appraisal center in London. See you later, Mr. Devonshire."
"Okay, see you later."
After Kaboré walked back to the Chinese experts in the VIP lounge, William smiled and said to the man in the white suit, "I didn't expect someone like you to appear so brazenly on the streets."
"Heh," the man in the white suit looked at William indifferently with his long and narrow eyes. "I don't remember doing anything that violates the laws of France."
"Paris doesn't have it, but it doesn't mean that other cities don't have it. For example, the traitor who killed his own master," William took a few steps back and said, "You must have had a hard time being chased by your childhood companions for so many years. No, it seems like you hate that half-haired white kid. You definitely don't care about being misunderstood."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the white suit revealed his knife. William rushed forward and a Glock instantly appeared at his neck.
