Chapter 80 Graham Group
After leaving, Jonathan didn’t return to No. 1 Villa. Instead, he gave Harrison a call.
The moment the call got through, Harrison’s voice rang out. “Mr. Goldstein, how can I help you?”
“Are there any antique shops in Jadeborough? I would like to buy a painting,” Jonathan casually remarked. Actually, there were many paintings in his official residence, and all of them were worth hundreds of millions.
However, the Smith Group’s annual party was tomorrow. Hence, it was too much to ask for those paintings to be airlifted over.
“Of course there are. But, the paintings there aren’t really compatible with your status.” After a slight hesitation, Harrison added, “Coincidentally, there’s an auction tonight at Jadeborough, and I heard there will be some paintings on the block. Would you be interested in taking a look?”
“An auction?” Jonathan was surprised. He didn’t expect a third-tier city like Jadeborough to actually organize an auction.
“That’s right. Not only are there paintings on sale, but there are also meteorites, elixirs, and whatnot. However, no one is sure if they’re real or fake.”
Harrison was obviously not interested in them. However, Jonathan raised his eyebrow when his interest was piqued by the meteorites and elixirs. Unexpectedly, he asked, “What time is the auction?”
“Eight in the evening. Are you going?”
“Mmm-hmm, pick me up from Edenic Heights later.”
Jonathan wasn’t really keen on the paintings. Instead, he was intrigued by the meteorites and elixirs. To others, such items might be nothing but scams.
But to him, it was not necessarily the case.
Back then, if he hadn’t trespassed the army camp by accident and chance upon the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique, there was no way he could conquer and unite the nation within three years.
Consequently, he became Asura because of that.
……
Time flew by in a blink of an eye.
When it was one in the afternoon, Josephine came home on purpose from the Smith Group. She had wanted to accompany Jonathan to report for duty at the real estate firm.
In truth, she was checking on him to see if he was lying to her and whether he actually found a job.
“Darling, do you really intend on going to the office with me?” Jonathan began to worry. It was almost two, and yet, there was no news from Andrew still.
Therefore, he wasn’t sure if Andrew had managed to acquire the real estate firm yet.
“Or else?” Jonathan stared earnestly at him. “Jonathan, tell me the truth. Is all of what you told me earlier nothing but lies?”
“Of course not!” Jonathan denied it at once. There was no way he would admit it at such a crucial juncture.
“Where is your office? I’ll drive you there!” Josephine didn’t want to waste any time. Taking out the car key, she turned on the engine of the Lamborghini.
After all, she didn’t have much time. After sending Jonathan to this office, the still needed to go back to hers to decorate the place for the annual party.
“For the life of me, I can’t remember!” Jonathan pinched his forehead in frustration. “Why don’t I make a call to ask?”
