Chapter 283 The Most Mysterious Department
Reading Settings
Cao Kun is now a celebrity, and charity galas give him a certain level of exposure.
He bought the infamous "murder mirror," which naturally made the news.
This also made Charitz aware of the matter.
At the time, many people online were discussing whether Cao Kun would die at the hands of that magic mirror.
Cao Kun: "Well, I don't want it anymore. I want to sell it."
Charlize: "But it's only been a short time, and you're already asking for $50 million? Do you even think you can sell it?"
Cao Kun said confidently, "Someone will buy it."
Seeing Cao Kun's confidence, Charlize couldn't help but feel curious.
Who on earth would spend so much money to buy this mirror?
At such a price, others would naturally be unwilling to bid.
Those who had come specifically for the magic mirror also gave up at this point.
Just as everyone was discussing and complaining, one person quietly raised the sign in his hand.
The auctioneer was overjoyed: "50 million! This gentleman has bid 50 million US dollars!"
brush!
Everyone turned to look, wanting to see which sucker was willing to pay so much money.
It turned out that the person who made the bid was a man in his thirties.
She has an average appearance, but her clothes are quite nice; otherwise, there's nothing particularly remarkable about her.
If I had to say something, it would be that he was too calm.
Cao Kun glanced at the person who made the bid, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
This person was the one he had previously identified as possessing special powers.
It seems this person really is from a special department in country M.
"Is there anyone offering a higher price?"
The auctioneer asked, suppressing his excitement.
He couldn't help but be excited; he would receive a substantial commission after this deal.
"make a deal!"
After no one else bid, the auctioneer brought down the gavel.
Charlize Theron looked puzzled: "Is this mirror that good? Someone actually offered 50 million to buy it?"
Cao Kun smiled but didn't say anything.
Actually, he had considered raising the starting price even higher, but he was worried that the other party wouldn't be able to accept it.
50 million is a more appropriate number.
In just over half a month, he made more than 30 million yuan by reselling it, which is much more lucrative than making movies.
After the deal was made, the person went backstage and never came out again.
Charlize Theron noticed this: "That guy was coming for the mirror."
Cao Kun hummed in response.
Meanwhile, the man in his thirties, after handing over the item backstage, immediately had the staff put the sealed mirror into a van in the parking lot.
Then, he personally drove the van out of Sotheby's.
On the way, he turned left and right, and frequently made U-turns.
They even drove into an industrial park halfway there and moved the mirror into another car.
After several attempts, he finally drove his newly purchased, inconspicuous pickup truck to a residence.
“Bate is back.”
Upon seeing his car and himself, a person holding a walkie-talkie spoke at the entrance of his residence.
The man named Bette didn't rush in, but waited at the door for a while.
Before long, two ordinary cars drove up first.
The two got off at the road and said, "We didn't see any vehicles following us."
At that moment, a young woman in her twenties came out of the house.
Upon seeing her, the group fell silent instantly and greeted her respectfully: "Miss Paige."
A young woman named Paige walked up to Bette and stood still. Suddenly, her eyes turned pure black, and all the whites of her eyes disappeared.
This state only lasted a few seconds before Page returned to normal.
The next moment, she moved with lightning speed, using her gloved hand to snatch a ladybug from Beth's collar.
Upon seeing the ladybug, Bette was startled: "This is that person..."
Before he could finish speaking, Paige interrupted him by raising her hand: "There is a special power fluctuation on this ladybug."
If I'm not mistaken, that person could use this ladybug to find out about this place, and even hear or see our conversation and what we were doing.
Bette was startled: "I'm sorry, Miss Paige, I wasn't careful enough."
“It’s okay.” Paige walked toward the mirror that was sealed off.
She dared not lift the mirror, nor even stand in front of it, but instead stood to the side of the mirror, turning her eyes completely black once again.
Then, she took an ant out of the crevices behind the mirror.
"Damn it, he really did set us up!" Bate was furious.
Paige waved her hand: "If we can do it, then of course he can too."
Bette and the others neither agreed nor disagreed with this statement.
who are they?
Is he from country M, or from the most mysterious department in country M, or someone with special abilities?
They've always been the ones bullying others; when did it become their turn to be bullied?
Accustomed to their arrogance, they were now furious to discover that someone dared to set a trap for them.
Only a few people think like Paige.
Paige didn't care what they thought, and with a swift movement, she crushed a ladybug and an ant into minced meat.
"Alright, we can give up here now and head to residence number 32."
Page gave the order.
The group immediately got into the car and left without hesitation.
As for this place, it was just a temporary transit point they rented to deal with this situation.
In their view, Cao Kun could only discover this one place at most.
Afterwards, no matter how hard they investigated, they couldn't find any connection to them.
The group eventually drove into a somewhat secluded ordinary house.
But once the car went in, it never came out again.
From the outside, this house looks quite ordinary.
But beneath it lies another vast space.
At this moment, Page was sitting in a conference room.
The person sitting at the head of the table was a middle-aged man in his fifties.
Besides Peppa Pig, there was a man and a woman next to her.
The middle-aged man glanced at Paige, who immediately said, "We found a ladybug and an ant with special power fluctuations on Bette's body and on that magic mirror, respectively."
This must be the insect that Cao Kun trained with his abilities.
I suspect that Cao Kun could share the senses of these insects.
Once those insects are allowed into this place, Cao Kun will be able to pinpoint its location and know our every move.
I've already crushed those two insects to pieces.
“Training insects and sharing their senses is not surprising.” The man opposite Paige nodded, unsurprised.
The woman said, "It seems that this magic mirror cannot kill Cao Kun."
And he already knew that we were the ones who sold him this magic mirror.
Now, he not only uses it to make a huge profit, but also wants to use it to investigate and monitor us.
Thanks to you, Peppa.
Paige nodded very slightly in response.
"What do we do now, team leader?" The three looked at the middle-aged man at the head of the table.
The middle-aged man, referred to as the team leader, said, "Yulia is checking the magic mirror outside. We'll talk about it after she gets the results."
