The next day, Richard arrived in the Boston District, the western part of the Roxburgh city where the Bosley family lived. After getting off the subway, Richard ordered a taxi because he didn't want to delay his meeting with Jordan Bosley, his former boss who was an antique collector.What Richard didn't expect was that he met a familiar man in his memory when Richard had just arrived at the gates of Jordan Bosley's house. The man also had just gotten out of the taxi he was riding in.As far as Richard could remember, that man was Julius, a cousin of Luis Jung who had ordered Richard to lick the toilet the other day.Julius was just as surprised as Richard. A wide grin immediately appeared on Julius's lips, hinting that Julius had bad intentions towards Richard."Hey! What kind of coincidence is this?" Julius walked up to Richard while clapping his hands cynically.'Because of you, Luis suffered physical and mental injuries! I won't miss this opportunity to avenge my cousin!' Julius t
"Ha ha ha! You're even more useless than I thought, Richard!" Julius grinned proudly as one hand reached for something he put behind his black coat. "This is my badge!" Julius handed something golden to Security.“That pitiful man has no way of possessing this thing, so I hope you guys will really beat him up without mercy. If I wasn't in a hurry, I would really like to see you whining for mercy, Richard!" Julius muttered sarcastically while waiting for the security to check his badge."Even if I don't have a badge, Mr. Bosley won't mind at all! I know him well."Richard's words were ignored by anyone because Security and the bodyguard were both seriously observing Julius' badge."He has a valid badge." Security said to the guard, then returned the badge in his hand to Julius. "You have the right to see Mr. Bosley," the security said later. "I'll take you inside."“You see, Richard? This is how a man should be! Your existence even embarrasses men, sucks! Lowly! Useless, geez!” Julius
Some moments later…One minute.Ten minutes.One hour!Richard had been waiting for an hour. But the gate of the Jordan Bosley mansion was still quite silent. The security guard who escorted Julius never returned. The bodyguard who had promised to convey his message to Jordan Bosley also did not see him again soon.Meanwhile, the sky, which was still quite bright, was slowly dimming. Not because it was getting dusk but because it was indeed cloudy. Richard swore when the cloud spilled rainwater with a large capacity."Shit! Why aren't they coming back?!”Richard was pacing in front of the big gate with his body drenched in heavy rain. There is no shelter other than taking shelter under the big trees on the side of the road. But, because taking shelter under a shady tree could actually provoke danger, Richard chose to let the rain fall on his body.One hour!One and a half hour!Two hours!Richard began to feel something was wrong. He thought that maybe the bodyguard who received the m
Julius was still in the living room with Jordan Bosley when Richard just entered the front of the mansion. Apparently, almost like Richard, Julius was asked by his family to consult or even buy Jordan Bosley's collection of valuable antiques to be presented as a gift at the Crown Castle Group anniversary.After discussing for about two hours, Julius decided to say goodbye to Jordan Boslay. After all, he didn't want to be in the same room as Richard. Before Julius left, he nervously reminded Jordan Bosley something.“Mr. Bosley, it seems Richard is almost here. According to Bellatrix's report, Richard was probably here with the same purpose as me. I hope Mr. Bosley will accept my earlier offer." Julius muttered kindly, hoping that his father's friend would give a nod.Jordan Bosley smiled slightly then asked. "So you really believe that Richard Forger came here looking for antiquities?"Julius nodded. “Some time ago I called Bellatrix, the granddaughter of the Millers and also the new
After the dinner, Jordan Bosley took Richard Forger to his antique collection room. Jordan Bosley just received a shipment of fifty antiquities from a colleague. Upon arriving at the collection room, Richard saw shabby objects with a strong antiquated feel waiting for him to be examined its authenticity.“Now then, Richard, use your ability to judge their authenticity. Your observations have never disappoint me!” Jordan Bosley invited Richard to begin his research. It seemed that the man was trying to take advantage of Richard before trapping Richard for his interests with Julius.It took Richard Forger more than three hours to assess the authenticity of the fifty units of antiques that Jordan Bosley handed to him. Of the fifty units, Richard only chose nine antiques which he said had the characteristics of genuine ancient objects. Eleven of them are original ancient objects that were damaged and modified to become whole again."The remaining thirty units seem hard to tell are genuine
“The Sphinx from Pavlopetri? This is awesome! But, shouldn't this thing come from Alexandria?”Richard muttered half in disbelief when he saw the shape of the ancient Egyptian style statue that Jordan Bosley showed him. For a moment, Jordan Boslay wanted to applaud in response to Richard's extraordinary talent. Jordan Boslay hasn't even introduced the statue yet but Richard has guessed with great accuracy.Richard was able to say Pavlopetri's name because there was a sign with the name 'Pavlopetri' on the front side of the room where the statue was located. Which means, the objects in that space are findings from the underwater city, Pavlopetri. One of the cities under the sea off the coast of Laconia, Greece.“Yes, I heard, this is the Sphinx of Alexandria that the hunters somehow found in Pavlopetri.” Jordan Bosley briefed Richard. “Finding objects from sunken civilizations has always been of great interest to art collectors. This artifact is no exception. If you gift this artifact
After the tea session, that same night Richard came out of Jordan Boslay's mansion with the ancient artifacts he had bought. For security reasons, Jordan Boslay asked his bodyguards to wrap it up. Moreover, because the artifacts would later be presented at the Anniversary of Crown Castle Group, Jordan Boslay asked several maids to affix decorations to the artifact packages so that Richard's family would not have to bother decorating them again.Richard felt lucky to have known a kind man like Jordan Boslay. He didn't suspect at all that Boslay's bodyguard had put fake artifacts into the parcel given to him. Just as Jordan Boslay never cheated on him, Richard put his 100% trust in the man without ever thinking that Boslay had betrayed him.Ten minutes after Richard left Jordan Boslay's mansion, the taxi he ordered had arrived. Because he was carrying valuable objects, Richard decided to return to the Millers' house using a Taxi fully even though the bill would be very expensive.'Daisy
The Crown Castle Group's Anniversary Celebration was just three days away. Using her savings, Daisy planned to buy Richard a proper outfit to wear to the Crown Castle Group's anniversary event. That day, after returning home from work, Daisy rushed to Richard and asked her husband to go out.“Richard, I don't want people to look down on you again at the Anniversary Crown Castle Group. So, come with me now as we have to buy proper clothes for you to wear.”Richard scratched his head that didn't itch, considering that Richard had no savings left, he felt guilty if he had to burden it all on Daisy. “Daisy, aren't your finances bad recently? You don't have to buy anything for me. I'll just borrow your father's jacket."Daisy's hand almost smacked Richard's head. If Daisy hadn't immediately remembered that her husband had an amazing circle of friends, she might have landed a punch on Richard's head."Don't argue too much! You know I want you to dress properly so that I won't be embarrassed
