Chapter 378: Chapter 284: This is a Saddening and Infuriating Matter

Sean Knight, accompanied by Elijah Hastings and others, left, and the Battle Skirt was once again stored in the spatial realm.

In Sean Knight’s view, it would take Torris Connor at least a month to sort things out, right?

At least half a month’s time would be needed; otherwise, it would most likely be a perfunctory job.

Sean Knight, of course, knew that Torris Connor couldn’t possibly bring out the Dunhuang secret scrolls that were being collected in the British Museum.

Even though he knew that Huang Kan was collecting annotations on the "Analects" during the Han, Wei, and Jin Dynasty periods, the common annotation on the "Analects" used domestically now is He Yan’s annotation, which comes much later.

But, they can’t bring it back. The British Museum will not take these things out, and Torris Connor may not have the ability to retrieve these things either.

But Sean Knight set a difficult target, with the aim of getting Torris Connor to try; who knows, there might be a surprise?

Asking for the best, getting the mediocre; asking for the mediocre, getting the worst; asking for the worst, getting nothing at all.

Sean Knight went against the grain, setting the highest goal for Torris Connor; if he attained the upper middle goal, he would be content.

However, to be on the safe side, he contacted Smith and told him that Torris Connor planned to buy several hundred million dollars’ worth of Chinese cultural relics to exchange for the Golden Battle Skirt.

If his contacting customers don’t have the ability, then forget it.

Of course, as long as it’s Chinese cultural relics, they can be brought over for a look, and Sean Knight can judge for himself.

Smith knew right away that this might not work. He promised to relay the message, but he didn’t guarantee that the other party would agree.

Sean Knight didn’t have any particular thoughts about this. With only one such item in the world, he wasn’t afraid he couldn’t find a buyer.

Of course, this wasn’t the only thing on his mind; Torris Connor thought the same way.

To avoid complications, Torris Connor called his assistant the same day to search worldwide for salable items with a price tag of several hundred million dollars or less, which they could discuss!

Of course, he wouldn’t bring a pile of catalogs for Sean Knight to choose from. Although Torris Connor could see that Sean Knight had the thinking of a commoner, he wasn’t easy to deceive.

But, letting a person change from an ordinary person to a super-rich mentality in just over half a year isn’t very likely.

Too many people who became rich overnight still acted pretty immature even three to five years later.

In this week, while Sean Knight was having normal dates with Joanna Davis, he received seven phone calls from people interested in buying the Golden Battle Skirt.

However, the offers were all below 100 million US dollars, and one even tried to trick Sean Knight, thinking he was a newbie, offering only five hundred thousand dollars.

What amused and baffled Sean Knight the most was one who claimed to be the original owner of the Golden Battle Skirt, demanding that Sean Knight hand it over obediently, or his whole family would be killed.

Then, when Sean Knight feigned agreement and went to meet the person with Elijah Hastings and the other two, they found out that the man was just a hoodlum in New York City who had come up with the idea after unintentionally learning about the matter.

Elijah Hastings and the other two quickly and decisively beat him up.

A week later, Torris Connor called Sean Knight:

"Mr. Knight, there’s a batch of Bronze Ware in London. Can you go take a look? It’s not good to move these things over here."

In fact, Torris Connor didn’t know if Sean Knight could be sure to use these things in exchange. If he could be sure, it would be fine; if not, he would have to look for something else. So he didn’t plan to transport them to New York first.

"Do you have photos?" Sean Knight didn’t want to make an empty trip.

"My assistant will send you some photos later." Torris Connor didn’t think he’d have any more dealings with Sean Knight, so he didn’t leave his social media account details.

In a short while, Sean Knight received more than a dozen photos.

More than a dozen photos, not more than a dozen Bronze Wares!

At this time, Sean Knight was standing in the freight yard, watching people auction.

He no longer participated now; with him around, Jason Caldwell just had to speak up a few more times, and the auction would be arranged well every two days.

Although Sean Knight had the Sky Eye, the profit of several tens of thousands inside a container was something he no longer cared about.

Elijah Hastings and the other two were protecting the surroundings. Now, seeing Sean Knight’s expression suddenly change, they were somewhat surprised.

In the last few days, the phone calls to Sean Knight were all from people who wanted to buy the Battle Skirt.

Apart from one or two who couldn’t see their own limits, the others spoke in a very calm tone, even very enthusiastically, to the point of ingratiating themselves.

After all, if they could get the Golden Battle Skirt, they would definitely become famous!

So today, with Elijah Hastings’ surprising expression, it was really astonishing.

Looking at the treasures in the photos, Sean Knight felt a mixture of emotions.

Although he was a layman and just looked at the photos, he could basically confirm that these things should be real.

There was a brief introduction at the end of the photos.

"These things were purchased by my grandfather’s father. They’ve always been in our basement. Apart from him, no one in our family likes this kind of thing.

If it weren’t for us selling our old house recently, these things would still be in the basement."

This should be a sentence left by the original owner, which was finally sent to Sean Knight all at once.

Sean Knight immediately called Torris Connor:

"Where are the things in London? I’m going there now."

"In the suburbs of London, contact my assistant Evelyn Taylor when you get there." Upon hearing Sean Knight’s words, Torris Connor felt somewhat happy.

If Sean Knight was sure to exchange with this batch of items, he would make a huge profit!
