He had lived for so many years and had not seen such an interesting person for a long time.
"You are right. It is indeed difficult to find such a thing that I need. Then let's change the deal. Tell me what you want."
Queeny said seriously, "I want my disease to be completely solved."
Clinton squinted.
"Do you want me to cure it for you?"
"Yes!"
Clinton was silent for a while and then burst into laughter.
"You are too naive. If there were really a way to cure this disease in the world, do you think that the people of the Zaccardi family would still be troubled by this disease for so many years?"
Hearing this, both Queeny and Felix were depressed.
"You mean there is no cure?"
"No."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became depressing, and the three of them did not speak anymore.
Clinton was not in a hurry. He just sat there and watched them quietly. It seemed that they had started a seesaw battle.
After a while, Felix asked, "What do you want us to find for you?"
Clinton smiled, "The Celestial Book."
...
It was already noon when they came out of the manor.
The two didn't stay any longer at the family party of the Zaccardi family. After coming out, they took a ship and left the island.
Ford picked them up on the shore. As soon as they got off the ship, they got on the plane and flew back to Lanceham.
When they arrived at the castle, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
Donald ordered the chef to cook food for them. The two were worn out. After lunch, they took a rest and began to recall what happened today.
Queeny took out the Celestial piece that she had bought from the auction before, put it in her hand, and looked at it carefully for a while. Then she said, "We didn't understand why the people of the Zaccardi family took it out for auction before. Now we know that they have planned it for a long time."
Felix didn't look happy.
"They sent it to us on purpose. The auction was enterable for everyone, but in fact, it was prepared for us."
Queeny nodded and sighed.
"Why are they looking for this thing? I don't think that Clinton seems to believe these rumors about immortality. He seems to be a celestial being. Why does he have interest in this thing?"
Felix sneered and didn't think so.
"Sometimes, the more extraordinary a person looks, the more greedy he is. I don't think he is a good man."
Queeny paused and turned to him, "Then why did he send it to us? And why did he choose us to find the rest pieces for him?"
Felix said calmly, "It's very simple. It's not convenient for him to do it for some reason. We have connections and power, and you have to ask him for help because of your illness. So we are the best choice. As for why he gave it to us..."
He took the piece and looked at it carefully.
"Maybe he wants us to observe and study it?"
Then he shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Queeny sighed.
