Chapter 226 Pink Lion Diamond

"Mr. Curator, I must remind you that a group of people have set their sights on this museum, so I ask you to let me keep the treasure for you..."

In the corridor leading to the curator's office of the New York Museum, two people were walking one after the other.

The thin old man in a suit and leather shoes was walking in front, and he was the curator of this museum.

The curator was smiling on the surface, but if you look closely, you will find that his eyes were full of impatience.

Following the curator was a square-faced young man wearing a blue short-sleeved sweater, tan pants and brown leather shoes, and most importantly, he was of Chinese descent.

Unlike the curator's expression, he was anxious, hoping that the curator would pay attention to what he said.

Although he knew very well how ridiculous his words were.

Asking people to give him treasures, let alone treasures, even a stone would not be agreed.

So much so that the curator didn't intend to pay attention to him at all along the way.

As for why he was not kicked out, it was mainly because the young man was a famous archaeologist. In recent years, many unearthed cultural relics passed through his hands and were donated to the museum for free.

He provided a lot of collections for the museum.

The curator thought that the young man should not be offended too much.

But no matter what, even if these collections were dug out by you, they are now the property of the museum. It is absolutely impossible for you to take them away!

He also made up a lot of lies to deceive himself, such as the mysterious mafia and magic items. You are an archaeologist after all, but you don’t know how to find a more reliable excuse.

The curator seemed to have seen through the young man, but he didn’t point it out.

Young people, at the beginning, were full of blood and only wanted to make a contribution, so they could donate the cultural relics they found without any compensation.

After a few years, you will understand that these are all false. Fame and merit are just taking off your pants to fart. Real benefits are real.

Do you regret it now? Do you know how precious the cultural relics are? Do you want to take the things back?

Unfortunately, if you want to get something back after you have sold it, the price you pay is very high.

It is illegal to possess cultural relics without permission. It doesn’t matter whether anyone abides by this law or not. In the final analysis, it exists. As long as this law exists, I can sue you to bankruptcy at any time, even if I don’t want any benefits.

In a word, it is natural for me to take your benefits, and you are courting death if you fleece me.

This is the power and nature of capital!

The museum owner shook his head in his heart. He had a good impression of this guy, but he didn’t expect that he couldn’t resist the temptation of benefits.

But... what are the characteristics of the treasure he just described?

Forget it, I didn’t listen to him seriously just now. I just remember that it seemed very precious...

The curator thought about it. His museum had just collected a priceless pink diamond, and the young man came to ask for the treasure. If there was no connection, he would never believe it.

The young man didn’t know that in the museum owner’s mind, his image had become a crappy liar who coveted gems.

He continued to warn the curator about how terrible the Mafia was and how danger could come to the museum at any time.

However, although he was slow to observe people's hearts, he could see that the curator did not want to cooperate with him.

"Alas, it seems that I can't convince the curator."

The young man thought disappointedly, but since the curator did not explicitly refuse, there was still room for negotiation. ,

It was not his character to give up without trying hard to the end.

Finally, the two walked to the door of the office.

The curator sighed secretly, why didn't this guy leave? Did he want that big diamond so much? Sure enough, money was the most moving thing.

From the moment he entered the museum gate to find him, then he toured the museum and visited all the exhibition halls and returned to the office, this man actually kept lobbying him.

For a moment, he couldn't help but be moved by the young man's perseverance.

Unfortunately, as I said, there is no room for negotiation!

So, knowing that he would be pestered if he didn't refuse directly, the curator turned around and said to the person behind him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Chen, I know you are worried about the safety of the treasure, but please rest assured that the museum uses advanced protection devices. No matter whether it is a gangster or a thief, it can't steal the Pink Lion Diamond."

The curator patted Chen Long's chest very confidently.

Seeing the curator's confidence, and thinking that as the largest museum in New York, it must have the most detailed security measures, Chen Long was no longer so worried.

As for the possibility of not getting the things today, it is not a big deal. If it really doesn't work, please ask Sheriff Black to use his authority to get the talisman...

Wait?

What did the curator say just now?

Pink Lion Diamond?

No, I was talking about the talisman!

"No, Mr. Curator, you misunderstood me. What I just said was..."

However, this time the curator did not give Chen Long a chance to continue.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, but I have to work now. If you have anything, please come back another day."

The curator quickly walked into the office and slammed the door shut.

After Chen Long knocked twice, he found no movement, so he had to leave dejectedly.

What he didn't know was that the curator was gloating over sending Chen Long away.

"This Chen Long is really stupid. He wants to take treasures from me. Considering that you gave me so many precious cultural relics before, I can make some concessions."

"But you have to at least give me some benefits. The Pink Lion Diamond is worth at least hundreds of millions. It's not too much to give me 70 or 80 million. All the cultural relics you get in the future must be handed over to me."

"You want something without giving benefits. It's really beautiful..."

"There are many buyers who are interested in the Pink Lion Diamond..."

Thinking about it, the curator felt a little thirsty. He was about to pour a cup of coffee and glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

Suddenly, I found a white card on the desk out of thin air...

Walon and his men are determined to get the talisman, and they will find this place soon. I must send the talisman to District 13 as soon as possible. It seems that I have to do something I shouldn't do tonight..."

Thinking of this, Chen Long's eyes flashed with determination.

"Wait, Mr. Chen, don't leave in a hurry!"

Suddenly, Chen Long heard someone calling him from behind, and the voice seemed to be the curator.

Looking back, I saw the curator hurriedly running out of the museum, constantly shouting Chen Long's name.

Plop!

Perhaps it was too hasty, causing the curator to accidentally step on the air when running down the steps at the door and fall to the ground.

Seeing the curator's panic, Chen Long's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the mafia has come and taken the talisman away by them?

He rushed over and helped the curator up.

"What happened, Mr. Curator? Did the Mafia come?"

The Curator shook his head.

"No, it's worse than that!"
