Chapter 1073: 1073
Emma Eddie was sitting on the sofa, waiting patiently .
Her eyes were sizing up the extremely simple parlor while her heart was astonished .
Aside from other decorations, the vase on her right when she walked in should be a relic from the late papal era based on its style .
The story of "God giving his blessing to the believers" was carved on it .
After slight observation, Emma Eddie could tell the vase was authentic .
Other than the vase, there was another oil painting from "war era" hanging in the parlor . It had obviously been through restoration but its value was not diminished .
"The vase cost around 150K, the painting is at least 100K… If I can find some interested buyers, they might even pay an extra 20K to 30K!"
"Seems like this Bunder is richer than expected but running into that despicable bastard, you are also an unlucky one," Emma Eddie sighed .
All she did was release a sigh, she'd never show any sympathy though . Emma Eddie had dealt with these so-called "collectors" more than once and she was very clear on how these people truly were .
They were no different than the thieves and robbers on the street, at most their title would sound more gracious and noble .
Some of them even snatched collections with force or trickery; one would shudder when thinking about their despicable means .
Maybe there were some true collectors out there but Emma Eddie hadn't met one before and she didn't hold out any hope for this Bunder .
Her instincts told her the place was filled with malicious intent and danger the moment she stepped into the house, even more so when Bunder came into the parlor .
The slightly well-known collector in Alkender City was in his old age . His hair was as white as snow and his scrawny face had the marks of time . Although he could walk just fine without servants helping him, it wasn't fast by any means . He spent around 3 to 4 seconds just to walk from the entrance to Emma Eddie, much slower than a common man .
"Good day, Mr . Bunder . I am here on behalf of Sir 2567, I heard that you have a Mordin sculpture in your collection, am I right? I hope to purchase it at a high price . "
Before Bunder spoke, Emma Eddie took the initiative to stand up, greet him and stated the purpose of the visit . While Emma Eddie's back was filled with sweat, drenching her T-shirt,
Bunder who looked old and clumsy in Emma Eddie's eyes actually felt like a beast circling its territory and would jump at its prey that invaded its premises with a big bloody mouth .
'Terrifying old man!'
Emma Eddie never doubted her own instincts, her instincts had saved her more times than she could count and this time was no exception; she got even more careful .
"Sir 2567? Well, how did he know I have a Mordin sculpture here? I don't mean to boast but I don't think my men here would leak my collections . " Bunder asked a seemingly casual question .
"Someone sold that information to Sir 2567, but I never met said person before . "
Emma Eddie also replied without hesitation against Bunder's question . Even if it was a lie, given the circumstance and potential danger, it sounded real; Bunder didn't notice any flaws in the explanation .
"Is that so? I'm sorry, I do have a Mordin sculpture here but I don't intend to sell it . A real collector will never sell his own precious collections . "
After a word to himself, Bunder shook his head, rejecting Emma Eddie's proposition .
"That is unfortunate then . I'll deliver your answer to Sir 2567 directly . You don't have to worry though, Sir 2567 isn't the kind of person who acts recklessly, I am sure he will understand your reasons . "
