After getting the two small safes, Xiao Ran fell silent.

For the next few auctions of antique artifacts and works of art, he just acted as a spectator, watching other buyers fight to the death.

Although he occasionally raises cards, he only brushes his presence and does not really invest in the competition for a certain lot.

In the eyes of the rest of the professional treasure hunters, it should be that he is not very interested in those lots, not that he has no money.

In between speaking, nearly twenty minutes passed.

Xiao Ran, who was chatting quietly with Elaine, suddenly felt a vibration on her mobile phone.

He took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, and then connected the call.

The next moment, David's voice came.

"Sean, we have arrived, right at the door of this top mansion

" "I brought two bodyguards over, both retired Delta special forces

" "They are professional bodyguards, with automatic rifles and other weapons, enough to ensure your safety"

Xiao Ran secretly let out a long breath and relaxed a little.

After a pause, he replied in a low voice:

"You guys stay in the car first, David, the security check of this auction is very strict, it is strictly forbidden to bring guns

to enter" "The auction is almost over, when the auction is over, I will go out to pick you up

" "As for the two bodyguards, they can't enter this top mansion

" "Understand, Sean, we're waiting in the car"

David responded.

After ending the call, Xiao Ran looked at the auction table again and explained the situation to Elaine in a low voice.

Hearing their conversation, the guys in the live broadcast room were excited.

"I'll go! Xiao Ran, you actually hired two bodyguards, you won't have a street shootout in Los Angeles, right?

"If that's the case, it's exciting!"

"This game is getting more and more interesting, maybe there will be more exciting drama to watch!"

For these guys who don't think it's too big to see the excitement, Xiao Ran is very helpless.

The auction continues.

Next, several more items were auctioned off, and the prices were quite good.

Finally, it was the turn of that cubist painting.

As soon as this cubist oil painting, without the author's signature, appeared on the big screen TV, Elaine became excited.

"Sean, you must take this cubist oil painting, maybe you can get a huge surprise" "Of course, you may also lose money" "

But the quality of this cubist oil painting

is very good, you can also collect it yourself!"

As she said this, Sylvia glanced back at this side seemingly inadvertently.

In addition to this old friend, Kevin, who has always kept a low profile, also looked to this side.

Seeing their performance, Xiao Ran's heart suddenly clicked, and he had a feeling that something was wrong.

These two guys have a sharp eye, they won't look at this cubist oil painting, right?

If that's the case, it's not good news!

Although he thought so in his heart, Xiao Ran's face did not show any abnormality.

He smiled and nodded at the two guys, acting very friendly.

When the auction starts, it's not like that!

Under the cover of a mask, Xiao Ran whispered:

"Calm down, Elaine, I will bid for this cubist oil painting and strive to shoot

it" "But you show such excitement, it will expose my true intentions, and it will also add a lot of difficulties to the auction

" "So you have to try to be calm, don't be too eager, and don't take off your sunglasses

" "Wow! I'll pay attention,"

Elaine exclaimed in a low voice.

Fortunately, she is also wearing a mask and sunglasses, plus her face is very small, and there are not many expressions on her face, so she doesn't have to worry too much.

In the live broadcast room, everyone is discussing feverishly.

"Could this unknown cubist painting really be a top-notch work of art of great value? What a masterpiece?

"Maybe it's really possible, don't forget, Elaine grew up in the Louvre, the level of appreciation is not bad, and the eyesight is trustworthy!"

While everyone was talking, Claude had already given the starting price for this cubist painting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this cubist painting by an unknown artist starts at $15,000, which buyer will bid?"

As soon as the quotation was given, it immediately caused a small commotion at the scene.

Many people thought they had misheard and were surprised.

"A cubist oil painting by an unknown artist, the starting price actually dares to open $15,000, is it really fake?"

"I'll go! This starting price is too unexpected, it seems that the quality of this oil painting is good, otherwise the auction industry would never have offered such a

high starting price" Most people think that the starting price of this oil painting opened by the auction is too high.

However, some people do not think so.

As soon as Claude's voice fell, an old lady sitting in the front row had already raised the bidding number plate.

The old lady was the first buyer to successfully photograph the Temple Mount landscape in Jerusalem.

Seeing this old lady make a move, Xiao Ran's eyes couldn't help but become a lot more solemn.

Other buyers interested in the painting also became nervous.

The reason why everyone behaves this way is simple.

The strength of this old Jewish lady is very strong, the unfathomable kind of strength!

Her ability to sit in the first row of the venue and hold the top few auction plates speaks for itself.

In the previous auction, she had already auctioned a lot of good things and made a very generous shot.

And she wasn't bidding alone, and beside her, there was a middle-aged white man in his forties.

Through Sylvia's previous introduction, Xiao Ran knew that the guy was one of the top art dealers and top professionals in Los Angeles.

Such a top art dealer, but respectfully accompany the old lady.

It can be seen from this that the identity of the old Jewish lady must be extraordinary, perhaps the wife of a Jewish financier nearby.

Following the old Jewish lady, several professional treasure hunters joined the competition.

Among them was Sylvia, but Kevin was not in a hurry and was still observing the situation.

Xiao Ran also sat firmly on the fishing platform, did not hurry to raise the card, but watched this good show with interest.

In the blink of an eye, the price of this cubist oil painting has exceeded 30,000 US dollars, which is more than double the starting price!

This price has exceeded the psychological price of several competitors, who have shaken their heads and withdrawn from the competition.

But there are also people who only join the ranks of the competition at this time, and they are powerful predators!

When the offer came to $32,000, Kevin finally came out and raised the price to $35,000 as soon as he made a move.

Hearing this quote, everyone turned to look at this guy who had always kept a low profile.

Among them was the old Jewish lady and Sylvia.

At the same time, the offer also kicked out a contender.

However, Xiao Ran immediately came in as a substitute.

"$40,000"

As soon as he made a move, he raised the price again sharply, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing that he also joined the competition for this cubist oil painting, those buyers who were still competing could not help but frown slightly.

Without exception, they all felt the strong pressure from Xiao Ran, and they had a feeling that something was wrong.

The rest of the outsiders all shone with excited eyes.

"Wow! This crazy guy actually saw this cubist oil painting, and as soon as it came up, he raised the price sharply, and now there is a good show!

"Did this guy take a fancy to this painting?" Or itchy hands and just want to make a splash? But this guy is really rich! "

In the live broadcast room, everyone is also talking about it.

"What's so good about this cubist painting? Is it really worth forty thousand dollars, how can I not see it?

"Maybe this painting is really a masterpiece, otherwise how could it be so high and why would it attract so many people to compete for it?"

Everyone is still talking about it, and the price for this cubist oil painting has reached $45,000.

It was the old Jewish lady sitting in the first row who made this offer.

In the next instant, Xiao Ran raised the bidding number plate again.

"Fifty thousand dollars, Claude"
