The next day.
The most famous antique market in B City, P Market.
Casey got out of the taxi, walked a few steps forward, and saw Maddox standing there.
Seeing Casey coming, Maddox immediately walked towards him with a smile.
"Mr. Casey, if you find something you like today, please don't stand on ceremony. I will pay for it and buy it as a gift for you," Maddox said with a smile.
Casey replied, "No, I am not very interested in antiques. Even you give some antiques to me, I don't have the energy to enjoy them."
Originally, he didn't plan to come today, but Maddox was too enthusiastic and asked Casey to come. Moreover, the Davies family had gotten rid of the crisis and Casey had nothing to do. Therefore, under Maddox's repeated invitation, Casey agreed.
It just so happened that he hadn't been to the antique market for a long time. Although he was not interested in antiques, there were no more than three people in B City who knew antiques better than him.
P Market was also a place full of memories for Casey. He remembered that he had competed here with Felix Brown, the best appraiser in B City. They hit it off straightly. Casey's understanding of antiques made Felix shocked.
It was precisely because of the relationship between Casey and Felix that those antiques of the Davies family would receive certificate with Felix's autograph.
He had not seen Felix for many years. Casey wondered if Felix was still in P Market.
It was precisely because of remembering some things that year that Casey wanted to come here.
"Antiques are actually not as complicated as you think. At most, there are some difficulties in distinguishing the year. Mr. Davies, if you have any questions, just ask me." Maddox thought that Casey said he was not interested in antiques because he didn't understand it, so he said to Casey with pride.
In his opinion, Casey was already very good in fighting and other aspects, and it was normal to not understand antiques. It was just where his interest lay, and he could show off his talents in front of Casey.
Casey was a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't expect Maddox to think that he didn't understand antiques so he wasn't interested, but he didn't explain too much. Since Maddox wanted to show off, then he would give him a chance.
"Didn't you say there are friends?" Casey asked.
"They have already gone in. Let's go in and find them now. My friend is the dean of the History Department of Fudan University in H City. He is also very keen on antiques. When I come to B City this time, he asked me to P Market. It's also because of him that I come here and go around," Maddox said as he walked.
Casey nodded and didn't ask any more questions. People at Maddox's level were naturally not simple. The Dean of the History Department of Fudan University in H City was also great.
"And one of the students my friend brought from their college this time is a very beautiful and elegant girl. If you like her, I can help you," Maddox laughed.
Casey turned his head and glared at him, and said coldly, "Don't make this kind of joke with me in the future, or think about whether you can stand my beating."
Maddox instantly trembled all over. Although he was not beaten on his back, he actually felt a faint feeling of fever.
He took a deep breath, and quickly nodded to Casey, thinking that Casey didn't like this kind of joke, and he couldn't make suck joke casually in the future. Otherwise, Casey who succeed in climbing high ladder would kill him with just one finger.
Casey was still worried about Edith's disappearance at this time, how could he tolerate others making such jokes with him.
The two entered P Market and looked around along the road. After a while, Casey saw a formal dressed old man not far away. Although his hair was a little white, he was delicately combed. The old man was accompanied by a tall girl with a horsetail and black glasses. She was an elegant and good-looking girl.
The girl gave people a feeling that she must have read a lot of books and understood a lot of things at a glance.
And it may be because she knew more, so the girl still had a slight cold temperament on her body and rejected those men who couldn't help but look at her.
These two were the friends mentioned by Maddox. The old man's name was Brodie, and the girl's name was Annie, and excellent students from Fudan University in H City.
When Maddox saw the two people, he immediately went to say hello.
"Brodie, sorry for keeping you waiting."
Both Brodie and Annie turned to look over here, and smiled at Maddox.
