Among a few complicated eyes, the last collection of the auction tonight was pushed by Dan, who had already disappeared from his seat, to the spotlight of the stage.
"To tell the truth, this collection is not mine. It's a collection from a foreign friend. I'm dragged to the charity auction tonight, and the starting price is 500,000 dollars. And no matter how much the final transaction price is, he's willing to donate 30% of the cost to the charity foundation as an autistic child to contribute his own love."
Dan's tone was very humble. After he briefly introduced the origin of the item, he handed the microphone to the host, stepped down in the applause, and sat back beside Riley.
"The starting price of five hundred thousand dollars? The starting price is too low, isn't it?" Riley frowned and asked.
"Is it low?" Dan chuckled.
"You didn't tell me that one of the scrolls could be worth as much or even higher than the total price of tonight's auction. Even the price of the first round of jewelry in the hotel is not as high as five hundred thousand dollars. What are you going to do if it is taken away directly?"
Riley didn't know much about the origin and value of the Classics on the Women's History, but she knew that this was a priceless calligraphy painting, which was enough for her to really turn over and her status would soar.
"No." Dan shook his head. "I know that three days ago, two diamond members in the mainland of our Horse Club were restricted by personal freedom because of some things. They couldn't contact the outside world. As the vice president of the Horse Club, I should have solved these problems for members, but unfortunately, the force involved in this matter was too strong. Even the Horse Club couldn't do anything about it. We could only listen to it and try not to cause any trouble..."
Riley nodded. She was a member of the Horse Club. When there was nothing wrong with the Chans, she would occasionally come to Gavila for horse racing, but her level was very low, so she was not qualified to participate in this charity auction.
So she was very clear that how terrible wealth could be in the hands of those who owned diamond- level membership cards in the Horse Club.
However, a horse without night grass was fat, and a man without wealth was rich.
Most rich people always had an unknown past.
This resulted in their assets to be risky.
If one was not careful, there would be loopholes and problems, resulting in irreparable consequences.
It was normal in the horse gathering.
"However, these two people actually appeared here today."
While Riley was deep in thought, Dan suddenly opened his mouth.
"What?" Riley was shocked. She opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at Dan in disbelief.
"Are you saying that someone replaced their names to come to the charity auction tonight?" Riley lowered her voice and had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Dan nodded. "Yes, I've already identified them, and I've also confirmed their identities."
"Where's that man? Why didn't he arrest him? Is he still on the cruise?" Li Riley asked anxiously.
"Why are you in such a hurry... Don't you want to know why they came here as members being arrested?" Dan said with a smile.
"Why..." Riley was a little surprised, and then whispered, "Is it for this picture?"
Although she did not know the meaning of the Graph of Girl's History, she knew where it came from.
Otherwise, the most important auction tonight would not be arranged on this cruise ship, and it would only start after entering the high seas.
"Yes, this painting is too eye-catching. Every time it appears, it is accompanied by a sensation all over the world. Therefore, it can't avoid those with ulterior motives. It wants to secretly take it away and send it to the place where it was born..." Dan said blandly.
"But what does it have to do with us? Since the ship has already driven to the high seas, who can buy this painting? As long as the price is right, it will do no harm to us. Maybe the price of these people may not be higher?" Riley was puzzled.
"Who bought it, not me?" Dan shook his head. "What's the definition of your current painting?"
"Ah?" Riley was stunned and then said,
