The weird game of the ancient gods

Xia Yuxin said, so that’s it. Did a poor nobleman marry the daughter of a wealthy nouveau riche? The nobleman gets money, and the nouveau riche gets a title. Is this the so-called class complementarity? This kind of plot is also very common in novels and movies. I didn’t expect that today Met a real person.

"Tell me about this Baron Forrester."

The little brother said, "We really can't disclose customer information casually."

Xia Yu handed over a hundred dollars with an expressionless expression. The young man looked around and quickly took the money into his hand.

"Baron Forrester is just a minor nobleman in the UK, but he is still very capable when he comes to the United States. Even in the 21st century, those people still recognize the status of aristocrats."

"Those people?"

"old money."

Xia Yu nodded to express his understanding.

"Baron Forrester took the inheritance from his class and went to the Midwest to invest. He got really lucky and dug out a gold mine and two oil fields. He seemed to know everything about what was buried underground. He bought land. Buy one accurately. In the 1960s and 1970s of the last century, it can be said to be a man of the hour.

Later, with the rise of the Internet era, the limelight of those engaged in the physical industry gradually faded, but they were still very rich. It is said that his assets ranked within the top 100 in the United States, but their old money was low-key. Very, he doesn't show much wealth on weekdays. Apart from running some fund industries, he mainly engages in collections.

Baron Forrester is very interested in antiques and ancient books and is a frequent visitor to Newman's auction house. His daughter is often appointed by him to invest. "The little brother said with envy on his face.

"Haha, that's it. Thanks a lot, buddy." Xia Yu said and handed over another hundred dollars.

The young man took the banknote and smiled flatteringly, "You are really a generous brother. Don't look at those old moneymen who are richer than the last. They are very stingy with their money. They don't even want to tip more. For the sake of Franklin 'For the sake of this advice, if you are planning on Miss Catherine, I think you should save it."

Xia Yu was a little funny, "What do you mean? That woman is a lesbian?"

"She is very dangerous. I have heard some rumors that a man went to her castle with her, but he never appeared again..."

In the afternoon, Xia Yu came to the auction house. He was here to handle the handover procedures. As the owner of the lot, he had to sign an agreement at the end of the formal transaction.

Waiting here with him was an old lady who looked to be eighty or ninety years old. Her skin was wrinkled and stretched, and her eyes were dull and looked a little penetrating.

Xia Yu found a seat and sat down. After a while, Catherine walked in, escorted by two bodyguards.

She came to the old woman first.

"Is this Ms. Virginia? I am Catherine. It is an honor to take over this precious collection from you."

The old woman signed the agreement from the auction house clerk with an expressionless face, scrawled her name, handed an antique box to the clerk, and left without any regrets.

When the auction house employee handed the box to Catherine, the blonde woman took a step back, as if the box contained a time bomb, and signaled a bodyguard to take the box.

Then she walked towards Xia Yu.

Xia Yu's eyes wandered between Catherine and the box, and finally landed on Catherine.

I have to say that this girl is indeed beautiful, especially the temperament left by her exquisite life, like an exquisite oil painting.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xia? I didn't expect that this gem really came from the Far East. I thought it was another gimmick by the auction house. So Mr. Xia, is this gem really yours? It came from an ancient altar. Did you find it?"

Xia Yu smiled slightly. He had a share of the credit for making this gem's origin story so portable. Strictly speaking, it wasn't a lie. This thing was indeed related to an ancient god.

"Yes, it's absolutely true." Xia Yu handed over the box containing the gems.

The woman carefully placed the gem in front of her eyes and looked at the red liquid swaying inside, feeling trance-like for a while.

"Can I ask Mr. Xia how he found this gem?"

"Haha, I just picked it up accidentally."

The woman nodded noncommittally: "Then you are really lucky."

"Who says it isn't?" Xia Yu shrugged, and couldn't help but glance at the antique box.

This thing was so close to him that he couldn't help but want to take action directly.

The woman also noticed a clue, "Speaking of which, I couldn't help but notice that you are also very interested in this book?"

Xia Yu did not hide it: "Yes, I am a loyal fan of Lovecraft and am very interested in his works. He is a very imaginative writer."

Catherine suddenly snorted coldly, "I don't think he has any imagination. It would be more appropriate to say that he is more sensitive."

Xia Yu glanced at her strangely, and Catherine said faintly: "In Lovecraft's works, there is a theory that sensitive artists, poets, singers, and painters can contact people through dreams and illusions. Or they sense many unknown things, those ancient beings, those ancient monsters, those indescribable evil things. It is because of this that they can create unimaginable works of art, some of which can bring joy to people. Horrifying nightmares, some are as strange as not belonging to this world.

So when I read his books, I sometimes thought that maybe Lovecraft was one of these people. He saw certain fragments in dreams or visions, and then recorded them, so he could Write these jaw-dropping works.

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Interesting theory, it sounds very reasonable."

Catherine put the gem back into the box, and the staff took out the agreement and handed it to the two of them.

After the two signed the agreement, the transaction was officially completed. Looking at the extra string of numbers in the account, Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction.

"Goodbye, beautiful lady. Oh, by the way, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to visit you in the future. I am very interested in your theory."

This question was obviously a bit abrupt. Catherine was a little surprised, but she still nodded: "Of course, you are always welcome at Forest Castle."

And a castle? This Baron Forrester is really putting on a show. Watching Catherine leave, Xia Yu couldn't help but feel interested.

When she returned to the hotel room, Catlana had already rented the car Xia Yu wanted. Not only that, she also specially prepared an outfit for the upcoming action.

"When are we going to do it?"

"Without further ado, let's take action tonight."
