Chapter 516 Do Not Go Against The Schulz Family

In an unremarkable-looking restaurant in Channing at night.

Many luxury cars had been parked in the parking lot of the restaurant.

This restaurant held the famous underground black market in Channing. It was known for auctioning off

various precious items that could not be sold in normal places.

Nathan, Penny, Dr. Rothschild, Debbie and the others had also arrived at the entrance of the

restaurant.

Nathan had wanted to pick out a gift for Dr. Rothschild.

Colin Dunne had told him that the black market auction in Channing had a fine copy of Wang Xizhi's

work from the Tang Dynasty.

Thus, Nathan had brought Penny, Dr. Rothschild and Debbie to this auction.

He wished to bid for the rare work to give to Dr. Rothschild as a gift.

There were dozens of tables in the restaurant. Many people had arrived from near and far.

Nathan and the others found a table and sat down. After a short while, a group of people came in from

outside. It was Bart, Haruto and Miyamoto.

Bart glanced around the room. When his gaze landed on Nathan, his expression changed slightly.

Haruto noticed his look and asked in surprise, "Mr. Schulz, what's wrong?"

Bart told him about Nathan in a low voice. When Haruto heard about it, his face filled with fury, and he

glared at Nathan.

Miyamoto, too frowned as he studied Nathan's features. He felt that the man was rather familiar, but he

couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

The three of them sat down at the table beside Nathan's on purpose.

Naturally, Nathan noticed them. When he saw Miyamoto, his mouth curved up in amusement.

The black market auction began not long after. The first few items to be auctioned were some elephant

tusks and tiger bones.

Elephant tusks were a luxurious commodity, while tiger bones could be made into medicine. However,

they were both illegal goods.

However, this was a black market auction, after all, so everyone was used to seeing such illegal goods.

After a round of bidding, the tusks and bones were sold to a drug dealer for over a million.

The auctioneer started to bring out other goods.

There were many precious items being casually brought out and just as casually bought off.

In fact, there were even items that were considered a national treasure!

After a short while, the last item was brought out. They had saved the best for last; the Tang Dynasty

fine copy of the 'Safe and Sound' calligraphy work by Wang Xizhi. The starting bid was ten million.

"Ten million!”

"Twenty million!"

Everybody present knew its worth and hurriedly bid for it. In a flash, the value had gone up to a

hundred million.

At this moment, Bart raised his hand and said calmly, "The Schulz family from Alberesque. 150 million!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shell-shocked and turned to look at Bart.

After all, the Schulz family enjoyed a prestigious status in the South. If Bart bid for it, it meant that the

Schulz family was interested in this 'Safe and Sound' calligraphy work.

Although he had called for 150 million, the real market value of this work was not even close to that

value.

However, those present did not dare to offend the Schulz family. They gave up; nobody dared to bid

higher than that.

Satisfaction flashed across Bart's face.

Just as he was going to call out 'sold', Nathan raised a hand and called out lazily, "300 million!"

The crowd buzzed with surprise.

Everyone gazed at Nathan in astonishment. Not only were they surprised at his bid, but they were also

surprised at the fact that he dared to go against the Schulz family. He dared to fight for the item that the

Schulz family coveted! Reаd at Dramanovеls.com

Bart glared at Nathan in shock and rage.

Haruto then deliberately said, "The bid is too high. Mr. Schulz, let's just give up!"

After saying so, he raised a hand and said, "The Schulz family offers 310 million!"

He deliberately emphasized the words 'the Schulz family' in an effort to warn Nathan not to go against

them.

But Nathan simply smiled and raised a hand once more. “One billion!"
