Chapter 603 Understand Tacitly

When their conversation was over, Euan and Maximilian looked at each other to express their tacit understanding of the organizer’s trick.

“The bidding of the last item starts soon. Please return to your seat…”

Euan went back to the venue after hearing the broadcast.

When Maximilian walked to the door, his phone suddenly rang.

It was from the Bates family. Why did they call him at this moment?

Maximilian picked up the phone unpleasantly.

It was a woman’s voice.

“Hi, is that Mr. Lee? Our president said there was something emergent, and he wants you to come to the company now.”

“Right now? Did he tell you what the emergency is about?”

“I’m sorry. He didn’t tell me the details. He just asks me to tell you to come here as soon as possible.”

“Ok…Well, I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, Maximilian left the sports centre when calling Amira to come out and pick him up. He was regretful that he didn’t have chance to see the last item.

Maximilian arrived at the Bates group in a hurry. After getting in, he was led to Lane’s office.

Lane opened his mouth when Maximilian opened the door.

“Well, finally you’re here. Come in and sit down.”

Maximilian bowed to greet him and sat opposite to him. Then He asked, “Mr. Bates, why do you ask me to come here in such a hurry? Do you get any new information for me?”

“Ha, young people really react fast.”

Maximilian felt relaxed upon seeing Lane’s smile.

“Well, what did people in the antique circle tell you?”

Lane thought for a while and answered, “Maximilian, I have to tell you frankly that it is difficult for you to venture into the antique industry. Many families don’t seem to welcome you. Besides, they have taken precautions against you after what you did to the Brown family.”

Maximilian sneered and replied, “I can’t even if I just want to invest in it?”

Lane showed a treacherous smile and said, “According to the information I have gathered, they are unwilling to let you venture into the antique industry.”

Hearing this, Maximilian frowned. Why those guys in the antique industry didn’t welcome him?

Seeing Maximilian remain silent, Lane smiled and continued, “Don’t worry. I will try my best to convince them.”

“Thank you so much.” Maximilian smiled back.

Lane thought for a while and said, “Maximilian, I know you don’t have a good reputation in H city and the Griffith family is not involved in the antiques industry. It really makes me confused. Why do you want to venture into the antique industry? Are you representing the Griffith family?”

Maximilian smiled and replied, “You’re wrong. I am only representing myself.”

Lane was dumbfounded when hearing this.

He knew Maximilian’s identity. He was only an ordinary man who married to the Griffith family.

However, he really admired Maximilian’s talent and knowledge in antiques. It was good for him to make friend with this young man.

“I have to leave if you don’t have anything to say.” Maximilian smiled and continued, “Mr. Bates, please don’t tell the Griffith family and my wife that I intend to venture into the antique industry.”

Lane understood his words and smiled, “Ok.”

When Maximilian turned around and was going to leave, he added, “Maximilian, don’t forget what you have promised me.”

Maximilian didn’t think too much, but replied in a perfunctory way.

He hurriedly left the company and got on the car.

The auction was over and Maximilian didn’t have anything to do, so he wanted to take a rest in the hotel.

Victoria was busy in the company, giving Maximilian a good opportunity to stay in the hotel for several days to know more of the antique industry.

When he was playing with his phone, a message popped up suddenly.

“Have you slept yet? Where have you been at the end of the auction?”

It was from Euan.

Maximilian was glad to see someone want to talk with him. He never expected Euan was also a night owl.

He replied, “I am still awake. I had to deal with an emergency and left earlier.”

Then he taped, “What about you? Are you working overtime for Tripod Wealth Pawnshop?”

Euan sent him a selfie of himself and his cat with a funny look.

Maximilian knew he sent this photo to tell him he wasn’t working overtime, but it was not necessary to express it in this way.

When Maximilian was blaming him in his heart, Euan sent another photo and said, “Guess what this is.”

When Maximilian opened the picture, he couldn’t help gasping with admiration.

Fantastic! It was a Guanyin Bodhisattva statue with a dragon.

A giant red dragon was lying on the black-brown stone. On its back, there was a sacred Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Maximilian was astonished at the great hypnotic aura of the statue and hurriedly asked Euan to send him more pictures.

Euan sent him several close-up pictures.
