CHAPTER 1677 PUBLIC AUCTION
Ko San gently stroked his long beard. He could see such things clearly.
This was an item that wasn't very useful to him, so there was no point in keeping it any longer.
Besides, this item was now a time bomb to him. So many people had their eye on it, so someone would come for it sooner or later.
He was confident of his estate's security guards, but it wasn't worth taking such a risk in the first place.
"Mr Ko, you're really willing to put this up for sale?”
"That's right. I'll put it up for auction, and the highest bidder will get it." Ko San nodded. "There's no need to offend someone I shouldn't offend."
The security guard team leader's expression paled.
If Ko San said that there was someone he shouldn't be offending, then that person was definitely no ordinary person.
"Yes, Mr Ko, I will go with what you have arranged," said the team leader without asking any further.
He had worked for Ko San for many years and knew that Ko San had great foresight.
Someone without sufficient foresight could not become an antique collector. Things would become too risky.
Ko San played with the page of the manual in his hands and sighed quietly.
"I wanted to keep you for a long time and find out the secrets etched on you, but it seems like I'm not qualified to hold on to you."
His fingers gently rubbed the manual and the shallow etches on the page made his fingers tremble slightly. Even though he knew that this page was worth billions and the etches on it were definitely something special, he still chose to give it up anyway.
He didn't want to end up losing his life because of greed.
News of the auction was publicized.
A famous antique collector in Korea was going to put up a very special boxing manual for auction! This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
When the photos came out, Jiang Ning was sure that the information that Lee Seongbong gave him was accurate.
He was even more surprised that the person holding onto the manual had actually decided to part with it. This collector was definitely not an ordinary person.
"It seems like this auction was planned in a hurry and it's tomorrow night," said Fei. "Many rich people would probably be in attendance, not because they're interested in this manual, but because the auctioneer is a man named Ko San, and he's a well-known antiques collector both in Korea and worldwide."
"He seldom sells off anything that he's bought, and only sells off things that he doesn't really fancy. The last few items he sold off were extremely valuable."
Jiang Ning laughed. "What a strange fellow."
He only cared if the item was something he fancied or not, and wasn't going to keep it even if it was worth a lot of money.
"Time and place?"
"Tomorrow night, 8PM, at Ko San's own estate."
Jiang Ning nodded. "Looks like this collector is quite a careful man."
"And very clever," said Fei. "The manual is nothing but a piece of paper to someone who doesn't practice martial arts, and it could possibly get him killed as well.”
Ko San must have sensed that people were after this manual and had their eye on him, and that was probably why he was in such a hurry to get rid of the manual.
Only clever people would understand that only items that they could control truly belonged to them.
Lee Seongbong got wind of the auction and immediately informed Fang Yin about it.
"Trying to use force to snatch the page is not possible," said Lee Seongbong directly.
"Ko San's estate is heavily guarded, so even though you're very powerful, you might not be able to break through its defenses."
Fang Yin didn't say anything.
He didn't like going through so much trouble.
He was just going to kill whoever held onto the manual and snatch it from him! Why bother going through any other process?
"This is the map of the estate," said Lee Seongbong as he projected a 3D image of the blueprint on the screen. "There are many guards within the estate as well as many high tech anti-theft devices in place.
You might be very highly skilled, but once you sneak in, you're dead meat."
