“Ultra-rare items refer to those that cannot be manufactured, have arduously stringent formation conditions, and exist in quantities not exceeding three,” was Zero’s straightforward reply.
No more than three? So it means Zero must at least have another
Six-Dimensional Saiyan Crystal, even two more! Excitement welled up in Finn Lewis instantly, but he also quickly realized that it’s uncertain whether he could draw the item again in his next completed task. The ultra-rare items probably aren’t limited to just this kind of crystal.
1.57 million points! Finn began pondering how to use these points. Without a second thought, he promptly expanded his own space this time. Finn, who had 360 cubic meters at the moment, directly exchanged for 640 cubic meters, rounding up a space of exactly 1,000 cubic meters.
A 1,000 cubic meters were enough to house a relatively large quantity of items.
For the time being, there shouldn’t be a need to further expand this space.
However, this also meant that Finn’s points had immediately declined to 940,000 points. Finn decisively exchanged for two more Tlooos. With No. 1 and No. 2 left at the other side, this side still required two Tlooos for security.
As for the remaining points, Finn did not use them for now because he was still uncertain what he needed. Additionally, there might be occasions to use these points in real-life settings. They couldn’t all be used in the other space, because Finn knew that these antiquities might be a one-off deal. He won’t be able to bring these items back again next time.
Unless Finn robs the Louvre Palace! Although Finn had already designated that place as his territory! Holding back his excitement, Finn immediately called Henry Lewis to inform him about the items and asked Henry how they could cover it up.
In actuality, there wasn’t much to hide. The storage center in Darwin Harbor was bought previously. Henry had directly acquired it when he came here. As for when the goods were shipped in, it is not difficult to investigate, but neither is it easy.
Once the confirmation with Henry was out of the way, Finn immediately placed a call to Lawrence Rodger and Oscar Blair, asking the two to make another trip. However, this time Finn did not receive them in the building bought by Henry, but met the two directly at a restaurant. Upon seeing them, Finn didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “I have a transportation business that I need you both to help me handle.”
Transportation business? Lawrence and Oscar exchanged glances. Why did they have to handle this transportation business? Though they could technically take care of it, most of their work involved financial investments, providing Finn with substantial financial investment advice, taking commissions from it, or helping Finn acquire companies and so on. They could assist in anything finance-related.
However, transportation did not come under their jurisdiction. Needless to say, the customer is always right. Since Finn chose them, they weren’t going to refuse. Instead, they straightforwardly asked, “What kind of transportation business would this be?”
“A batch of antiques,” Finn replied directly.
Lawrence and Oscar decisively latched onto his mention of “a batch”. Antiques described in batches? “What kind of transportation service do you need us to provide?” Lawrence asked decisively.
“An efficient appraisal team, complete security services, and procedures related to returning to Flame Nation, among other things,” Finn stated immediately.
“Those aren’t issues. Our bank has business dealings with internationally renowned auction houses. We can contact the finest appraisal experts for Mr. Lewis. May I ask which kind of antiques?” Lawrence queried.
Just as Finn was about to reply, his phone rang. He took a glance at the screen and his expression turned weird. Seeing the strange look on Finn’s face, both Lawrence and Oscar shared a perplexed glance, but then silently waited.
After a moment’s hesitation, Finn decided not to avoid their gaze and answered the call, “Bank President Chan.”
Upon hearing Finn, Lawrence couldn’t help raising an eyebrow. Being fluent in the Flame Nation language, he immediately knew who Finn was speaking to. Although Oscar didn’t understand the language, he could tell from Lawrence’s expression that it wasn’t good news.
The caller was indeed Matthew Chan, the bank manager of the Celeston City branch of the Red Bank. Finn wouldn’t believe that Matthew Chan was calling at this time merely to small talk.
“Mr. Lewis, did I somehow offend you?” Matthew Chan’s voice came over the line the moment Finn picked up.
“Bank President Chan, why would you say that?” Finn couldn’t help but smirk. These wily foxes started squeezing him with their words right off the bat.
“If I hadn’t offended you, then how could you let the Rhine Kingdom Bank and the Red Flower Bank handle your banking businesses?” Matthew dispensed with the run-around and came straight to the point.
Finn knew it would turn out this way. The information exchange between these banks was damn effective. The Red Flower and Rhine Kingdom Banks definitely wouldn’t leak this information, but Matthew Chan still found out. As for how precisely he learned of it, Finn naturally had no way of knowing.
“Well, I might need their help with some things. You know, the domestic environment,” Finn replied helplessly since the cat was already out of the bag.
“Younger brother, I’m more aware of the domestic environment than you are. But you think the Northern Europe Federation family’s environment is any better? The so-called ‘personal protection’ is merely talk. Do you think their officials can’t investigate the details of these banks? In fact, it’s not as bad domestically as you imagine. At least our bank’s private banking is doing pretty well,” Matthew responded helplessly.
Finn gave a resigned smile, took a moment to think, and then replied, “Since you addressed me as ‘younger brother’ , alright. I have another business deal right now. I have a batch of antiques that I need to take back home. I need sufficient security forces and a high-quality appraisal team.”
“May I ask what kind of antiques you have, younger brother?” Matthew asked immediately, his spirit lifting.
“Porcelain, some furniture, calligraphy, and paintings, among others,” Finn roughly classified the antiques he had received.
“I understand. Where are you, younger brother?” Matthew quickly asked.
“I’m at Darwin Harbor in Proudly Nation,” Finn reported his location.
“Alright, let’s leave it at that for now. I’ll hang up first. Younger brother, you must trust our bank. After all, we hold the title ‘the world’s number one bank’.” Matthew joked before hanging up the phone. Finn shook his head, smiling bitterly. True enough, the bank did hold the world’s number one bank title. It was at least the world’s highest market value and highest profit-making bank. This wasn’t boasting or belittling, the Flame Nation bank once held the top three positions.
After hanging up, Finn apologized to Lawrence and Oscar, “Apologies, gentlemen. A new company may be joining us. I have had a lot of dealings with the bank. Therefore, the bank may also join us..”
