She nodded and said, "Do you want to go with me tonight? Maybe you can find a way to open the box."
That made me slightly curious and interested. I subconsciously nodded my head and said, "Alright, I'll go with you tonight."
Thinking of the Milton family in Jarold City, I couldn't help but wonder if they were the famous oil tycoon in the oil industry.
It wouldn't be that easy to enter the auction. After thinking for a while, I asked, "You can't enter the Milton family's auction so easily. Do you have an invitation for the auction?"
She nodded and said with a smile, "Since I was the one who asked you about this, of course, I'm well prepared. The Roberts Group is famous in Ucrebury, so the Milton family naturally has to inform Mr. Roberts if they want to do anything in Ucrebury. I have an invitation because Mr. Roberts asked me to deal with this matter."
I nodded my head slightly. If that was the case, there was nothing to worry about anymore.
After pausing and thinking for a moment, she said, "You have already been in Jarold City for some time. I have done a thorough check on the Milton family's background and inquired a lot of people about them. All of them said that they don't know much about them. I believe that they are definitely not a humble family since they are able to auction so many valuable items, but I don't understand something. If they're short of money, why don't they auction all the valuable items in Jarold City instead? Won't they be able to sell the items at higher prices if they auction them in Jarold City?"
"I don't know much about the Milton family either, but I did meet Master Milton previously at Freya's wedding. He seems to be someone of high prestige." I thought about it and continued, "Perhaps he's keeping a low profile. As for the items being auctioned, it's hard to make a guess. Ucrebury is an ancient city. Although it's not as prosperous as Jarold city, it has a plethora of valuable treasures. There are also a lot of antique lovers here. Perhaps they chose this place to enable them to take a look at the treasures in Ucrebury."
At the auction, the Milton family was not the only one who would put items up for auction. There were also some more valuable things in the area. Most of the auctions like those would usually invite important antiquarians.
Of course, those people would also bring highly valuable items there. They didn't bring their items to auction them, but to show them off to the outside world and talk about them with the experts.
To put it bluntly, doing so was also a kind of vanity. The only difference was that people from the lower-class society would use designer goods, luxury cars and mansions as a tool to show off their wealth.
