The next day, Tang Ming came to school. His classmates were surprised to see that he was safe and sound.
Jolyon, who was at the same table, said in shock: "Maximus, were you okay yesterday?"
"Do you think I'm in trouble?"
Maximus Woolf asked with a smile.
Jolyon was still a little worried: "Maximus, if Aeolus Walker didn't take revenge yesterday, he would definitely come today. Why don't you ask for leave?"
He didn't know that Aeolus Walker and Haukea had been completely destroyed by Maximus Woolf.
The two of them are still lying in the hospital and haven't woken up from the coma. The news has not reached the school. Everyone thinks that Aeolus Walker let Maximus Woolf go yesterday because of something.
"No, they are not qualified yet."
Maximus Woolf smiled lightly, ignored the weird looks from the people around him, sat down and started reading.
Seeing that he had a good attitude, Jolyon was worried, fearing that Aeolus Walker and Fan Chen would burst into the classroom and teach Maximus Woolf a lesson.
But after worrying all day, no one came.
Soon, it was time to finish school in the afternoon.
Maximus Woolf turned around and said, "By the way, Jolyon, do you have any money? Lend me some and I'll return it to you tomorrow."
"There are some. I went to my dad to get some today."
Jolyon quickly took out a thousand yuan from his arms and grinned: "Maximus, don't feel bad about this thousand yuan. Just think of it as buying peace and quiet and spend your senior year in high school. It's better than anything else."
"Aeolus Walker and the others are just greedy for money. If you give them the money, nothing will happen."
He thought Maximus Woolf borrowed money to pay protection fees.
"Thanks."
Maximus Woolf also didn't explain too much and walked out of the classroom after taking the money. Maximus Woolf did not go back to Aunt Monica's house, but took a taxi and came to the Confucian Temple Ancient Street in Nancheng District.
Confucian Temple Ancient Street is also known as the antique market.
The streets were very lively, with many vendors setting up stalls and shouting.
"Come on, come on, let's take a look. This is a heirloom that has been handed down for hundreds of years from my old Li family. It is a porcelain specially provided to the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. It has a price but no market."
"Don't miss it when you pass by. You can earn money by buying the cultural relics unearthed in Luohe."
"Peerless jade, the price is reasonable, come and take a look."
"Brother, I have a bodhi seed consecrated by a Buddhist monk. It can suppress evil spirits and exorcise evil spirits. It can also nourish the spirit and spirit. Children and elders are not deceived..." Various shouts are heard endlessly.
After Maximus Woolf glanced at these stalls, he was no longer interested.
All fake.
Just like the Bodhi seed consecrated by a Buddhist monk, it is just a post-processed walnut. Not to mention suppressing and exorcising evil spirits, it is very good to buy it without sprouting.
soon.
Maximus Woolf walked into a shop called "Jubao Pavilion". The shop was very large and had everything from porcelain, gold and silverware, ancient jade halls, stone gambling stalls, ancient books and paintings.
The customers inside are either rich or noble. Those who can afford this industry have a family fortune of at least one million. High school students like Maximus Woolf are the only ones.
Look left and look again.
Maximus Woolf didn't even see anything he was satisfied with. When he was about to go up to the second floor, he was stopped by someone.
"Boy, I've been observing you for a while. You've been wandering around without buying anything, and you keep shaking your head. Could it be that you look down on the things in our 'Treasure Pavilion'? "
A middle-aged man with a big belly blocked Maximus Woolf way up the stairs.
There was a nameplate hanging on this person's clothes, which read "Lobby Manager, Jerome" and other words.
"I didn't see anything satisfactory."
Maximus Woolf spoke calmly.
Jerome sneered: "It's a joke. Jubao Pavilion is the largest antique store in Zhonghai and even South China. How can there be no satisfaction?"
"I think it's not that I'm not satisfied, but that I can't afford it."
"There is a VIP room upstairs, but not everyone can go up there. You, a student, just have an eye addiction on the first floor. If you want to go up, you need to be worth at least this amount."
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger.
As he spoke, he held out five fingers.
five million!
To enter the second floor of Jubao Pavilion, you need to be worth five million, which is just the threshold.
Maximus Woolf Ming frowned slightly: "Can't you just go up and take a look?"
"no."
Jerome looked at Maximus Woolf and said disdainfully: "If you have nothing to do, you should get out of here and don't block the way of the nobleman in the Jubao Pavilion."
"Antiques like this are not something that a poor boy like you can afford."
"I would also like to warn you, don't be petty. The Jubao Pavilion has always been strict with thieves. If I find out that your hands and feet are not clean, you will not be able to save your hands."
He was treating Maximus Woolf as a thief.
"Snob."
Maximus Woolf face turned cold: "Are you so sure that I have no money?"
"Haha, I have been working in this business for more than ten years, and I am the store manager of Jubao Pavilion. I dare not say anything else, but my eyesight is outstanding."
Jerome face was full of pride: "Boy, your whole body is worth only two hundred yuan. I guess your pockets are empty, right?"
"I advise you to leave here. If you make a mistake and break something, you won't be able to afford the compensation."
The commotion here attracted a lot of customers who were watching the excitement. Ordinary people might be extremely embarrassed.
But Maximus Woolf didn't. Instead, he smiled lightly and said, "Okay, I hope you won't regret it when I go upstairs with five million later."
five million?
The crowd around him suddenly started talking quietly, and pointed at Maximus Woolf from time to time.
In their opinion, this young man was too shabbily dressed. Five million was not a small amount of money. How could he afford it?
"absurd."
Jerome sarcastically said: "Boy, if you can spare five million, I will kneel down and kowtow to you."
"I've written it down. These are the words you said yourself. I hope you can keep your word."
Maximus Woolf left behind a word and turned to leave.
He didn't go out.
Instead, he went directly to the stone gambling area, where a pretty little girl was sitting. There was not a single customer on her side, because this was the lowest-grade rough stone, which people in the industry called "scrap" and were used to fool outsiders.
Maximus Woolf pointed to the two rough stones in the corner: "I want these two rough stones."
"gentlemen."
The little girl blinked her beautiful eyes and reminded in a low voice: "I'm telling you, the stuff in this corner is all raw stone waste, that's why it's so cheap. If you buy it, you're wasting your money."
"Brother, don't get angry with Jerome, he is just a bitch who looks after the shop for others."
Her tone didn't sound like that of a waiter, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to say that to Jerome.
Maximus Woolf smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I just want these two pieces."
"Fine."
The little girl had no choice but to hand over the original stone to Maximus Woolf.
"Hmph, I can make a fortune even with this low-grade rough stone."
Jerome sneered: "A poor guy like you is worthy enough to show off in an antique shop? It has simply lowered the grade of our treasure collection pavilion."
He is the lobby manager. Although he is not a treasure appraisal expert, he also knows that good things cannot be found from scraps, so he is even more unscrupulous in his ridicule.
"The frog in the well!"
"Since you believe in your own vision so much, let me tell you today how you became blind!"
Maximus Woolf spoke indifferently and suddenly exerted force with one hand.
"Boom——"
The extremely hard raw stone suddenly shattered.
Almost instantly.
A green light penetrated from the inside of the original stone.
