Chapter 333 Astonishing Changes (24)

"Porcelain?" Christopher Yard was once again surprised to hear this. Wasn't Woken supposed to have stopped caring about the porcelain? Why was he suddenly bringing it up again? Could it be that Woken had changed his mind? "Chris, don't misunderstand. I mentioned the porcelain because the Island Nation people are shamelessly auctioning off the Celadon Lotus Goblet in Madrila. Although I'm not as passionate about porcelain as Old Su, the Celadon Lotus Goblet has caused quite a stir in Brentwood City, and I also want to see it for myself." For some reason, Woken sighed and then looked directly at Christopher Yard, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. However, he didn't say anything else. Christopher Yard pondered for a moment. He didn't know what the Celadon Lotus Goblet looked like, nor did he understand why it was so sought after. But he knew that the Island Nation people had ulterior motives. It was clearly a national treasure stolen from Madrila decades ago, and they even claimed it was unearthed in their own country. Yet now they dared to auction it off in Madrila. Similar incidents had happened in other countries as well. Just like before the founding of the nation, they had done the same thing. At that time, Christie's openly auctioned off the rat and rabbit heads from the Old Summer Palace, causing a strain in Madrila's relationship with the founding nation. It even sparked anger among Madrila collectors. One Madrila collector, in his anger, had bid for the rat and rabbit heads but refused to pay. Of course, Christie's did not give the rat and rabbit heads to that Madrila collector in the end. Later, the major shareholder of Christie's, the Pino family, returned the rat and rabbit heads to Madrila, and now they naturally resided in the national museum. But what was unexpected was that today, the Island Nation dared to do the same thing as the founding nation. As a result, the relationship between Madrila and the Island Nation would inevitably deteriorate, causing anger among the Madrila public, albeit to a lesser extent. At that time, other incidents might even occur, and the people of the Island Nation would probably be in tears. "Recently, people from the island country have just arrived in Brentwood City. Although the central government has been promptly notified, they have not given any orders, and the government has not had time to file a complaint about this porcelain. So, it is quite embarrassing now because the island country people have started auctioning it off today, clearly mocking us Madrila people." As he said this, Aiken sighed. As a Madrila person, he did not want to lose this celadon lotus vase. These island country people were truly going too far. Christopher Yard knew that this celadon lotus vase was a national treasure-level porcelain. Regardless of the harm the island country people had caused Madrila decades ago, he was extremely displeased with this particular celadon lotus vase. In ancient times, these island country people came to study Madrila's culture, but several decades later, they invaded Madrila and took away many precious cultural relics. As a Madrila person, Christopher Yard naturally could not tolerate this. "Mr. Aiken, since you've said so, I will naturally accompany you to see this celadon lotus vase and see what it's like." A flash of inspiration crossed Christopher Yard's mind, and then a smile appeared on his lips as he spoke. For some reason, when Aiken saw the smile on Christopher Yard's lips, a hint of joy also appeared on his face. They then got into Aiken's jeep with Shangguan Qing and headed to the auction. Although Shangguan Qing had difficulty walking, it was not a problem with someone's help. When they arrived, there would naturally be seats provided for her. Aiken had previously investigated and found out that Christopher Yard used to be a poor punk, unknown to the public. But then, he rapidly rose to his current position at an astonishing speed, almost like a miracle in his eyes. First, he went from being a kitchen porter at The Serenade to now being a sous-chef, all within a few months. This kind of transformation was truly amazing. Then, he defeated Gu Yan from the Gu family at Andy Dune's house, making Kevin Dune peel rice with his bare hands. This extraordinary culinary skill left people in awe at the time. Later, he displayed his amazing medical skills, curing Noah Turner's long-suffering daughter and even Harold Myers' deteriorating illness. Such remarkable changes, how could Christopher Yard achieve them without any means? The reason Aiken invited Christopher Yard today was mainly to see if he would take action in front of these arrogant island country people.He had a faint feeling that if Christopher Yard took action, it might bring nightmares to the people of these island countries and make them no longer dare to be arrogant on Madrila's territory. Christopher Yard was unaware of Woken's thoughts, but now that he had Woken's agreement, his mood improved significantly. Therefore, he had no strong resistance to the idea of watching the auction of the Celadon Lotus Vase. Soon, Christopher Yard and the others arrived at the auction. Due to the immense fame of the Celadon Lotus Vase, all the seats inside had already been reserved. When Christopher Yard arrived, there were no seats available. Woken had naturally anticipated this situation, so after they arrived at the Bao Ming Auction House, he had arranged for someone to find a separate room for Christopher Yard. However, it was not in the auction hall, but a room for him alone. Although Christopher Yard was in the room, he could still see the scene before the auction. Naturally, he would not just sit idly by when it came to the auction of the Celadon Lotus Vase. But how could he stop the auction and even have the vase returned to its rightful place? Christopher Yard didn't have the ability to participate in the auction of the Celadon Lotus Vase, but when he saw the slightly shady scene behind the scenes, he thought of someone.King Qin Guang, maybe he could ask him about this matter. After logging into Twitter, Christopher Yard found a bunch of messages, such as thumbs-ups, mentions, and comments, but he didn't want to pay attention to them right now. He directly found King Qin Guang and sent him the following message: "King Qin Guang, I don't know if you can lend me a few little ghosts? Recently, these islanders have been acting recklessly and bullying us Madrila people. As a Madrila resident, I can't tolerate it." Christopher Yard didn't hide the fact that King Qin Guang should also know that Madrila was the country where he currently lived. This matter was related to the honor and disgrace of Madrila, so Christopher Yard didn't hide anything. Christopher Yard was well aware that the central authority would undoubtedly take action. Initially, this was not his responsibility. However, given his possession of the Thumbs-Up System, he saw an opportunity to impart a lesson to the islanders.
