Chapter 1684: Young Man, The Road is Wide
“Farry, you’ve been involved in many cases of theft of precious items. I’m arresting you according to the law!”
“Please don’t court death again!”
“Otherwise, don’t blame the royal agents of the Sun Never Sets for being harsh!”
When Isabella held Farry down, she tied the girl’s hands and feet. Her eyes were especially cold.
In just one round, Farry became completely obedient.
However, while Farry was docile now.
She was still a little flustered.
“I’m your niece!” She said, turning to look at Duke Buckingham.
“How could you be so cruel to send me to prison?!”
“Can’t I apologize to you?”
However, Duke Buckingham’s heart was already as dead as ash. Without looking at Farry, he said to Isabella, “Take her away.”
“I don’t want to see her again.”
“Yes,” Isabella replied. She turned to look at Ye Feng and nodded at him before leaving with Farry.
…
“Thank you.”
After a period of silence, Duke Buckingham thanked Ye Feng.
There was a hint of pain in his voice. “If it weren’t for Mr. Ye today, I might have been kept in the dark for the rest of my life.”
“Farry has always been a very good child until she was twelve.”
“The servants in our courtyard and I have always treated her as a good child. We have never thought about what kind of changes would happen to her after she left us for a few years…”
Ye Feng also expressed his understanding.
An adult’s temperament would change drastically after encountering some unforeseen circumstances, not to mention a teenager who was in a period of unsound personality.
The old saying of the ancients, “A person should be treated with respect after three days of separation” was still very wise.
“This matter has nothing to do with the duke.”
“As her granduncle, you’ve already done very well. You’re very generous and kind.”
Duke Buckingham waved his hand. “Let’s not talk about this.”
“Her roots are already rotten.”
“From the moment she said those words, I knew that she had become a devil in Farry’s angel skin.”
“I’ll pretend that I never had such a niece.”
Then, he turned to John Bull and said, “Sir, that exclusive Victoria Cross is very important to me. I wonder if you can give it to me?”
“Of course, don’t worry, I won’t take your things for free.”
“I can pay you according to the market price. Just treat it as if I bought it from you!”
John Bull looked troubled.
From a personal standpoint, if the item was with him, he would not hesitate to give it to Duke Buckingham for free.
But the problem now was that he had already sold it to Ye Feng.
The Duke of Buckingham was his benefactor.
Ye Feng was the boss of his benefactor.
He could not reveal to Duke Buckingham the whereabouts of his things, whether for public or private reasons.
However, just as he had a troubled expression on his face, Ye Feng took out the exclusive Victoria Cross medal. “I have already bought this item.”
“When I passed by John Bull’s shop, I saw that this thing was quite exquisite and special. My collector’s curiosity was piqued, so I bought it.”
“Since it belongs to Your Excellency, and it means a lot to Your Excellency, then let’s return it to its rightful owner.”
Saying so, Ye Feng did not seem to mind, he passed the item to Duke Buckingham.
“Is this thing still here?” Duke Buckingham was overjoyed. He quickly took it and looked at it carefully. “Pure gold Victoria Cross medal…”
“The blank back…”
“The unique inscription mark at the bottom…”
“Yes, yes, yes. This is the Victoria Cross medal that I lost. It was specially awarded by Her Majesty the Queen!”
“Mr. Ye, thank you. Thank you so much!” After accepting the Victoria Cross, Duke Buckingham held Ye Feng’s hands tightly.
“This time, you have not only helped me but also indirectly helped all the victims who were affected by the explosion of the natural gas pipeline on Queen’s Avenue!”
“I thank you on their behalf!”
After that, before Ye Feng could reply, he quickly said, “Give me your bank account number, and I will arrange for someone to transfer the money to you!”
“According to the descriptions of some knowledgeable appraisers, this thing is worth at least 300 million yuan.”
“I’ll have someone send over the money!”
“I’ll treat it as if I bought it from you!”
Ye Feng wanted to be polite.
The Duke of Buckingham, however, held his hand, his attitude unusually firm.
Left with no choice, Ye Feng could only accept it under John Bull’s envious gaze.
After that, they had lunch at Duke Buckingham’s manor and left with Duke Buckingham’s hospitality.
…
When they left Duke Buckingham’s manor, John Bull was still in a daze. “Three hundred million.”
“I’m doing pretty well as a black market merchant. The profit level is also quite considerable.”
“But if you want to earn so much money, you have to at least not eat or drink for a hundred years!”
Ye Feng patted his shoulder and smiled. “This is nothing.”
“What is truly valuable is the favor from Duke Buckingham.”
“Young man, you’ve widened your path.”
John Bull smiled bitterly. “No wonder you can be the boss of a person like Samia. I know that I’ve suffered a loss, but I can’t blame you. I even have to turn around and thank you.”
“This exclusive Victoria Cross, or the 300 million, should theoretically belong to me. In the end, you earned the money. Under normal circumstances, normal people, including me, would have some thoughts.”
“But your actions today allowed me to repay Duke Buckingham’s kindness. I even made Duke Buckingham owe me a favor. I also earned more than 60,000 dollars… I have some indescribable gratitude and complicated feelings for you.”
Ye Feng laughed and patted his shoulder again. “If you can’t tell me, then don’t.”
“I was brought here by a friend. That’s why I know this exclusive Victoria Cross is so valuable.”
“I can only say that everything is fate.”
After saying that, he exchanged a few more pleasantries with John Bull before leaving.
…
After returning to the Maybach S680, Ye Feng was about to start the car when the system notification sounded.
“Congratulations, you have completed the treasure navigation. You have received a top-secret file of the Anjou Energy Group!”
After that, countless detailed information about the Anjou Energy Group, including the life history of the head of the Anjou Energy Group, the life history of the shareholders of the Anjou Energy Group, their factions, and their family history, all surged into his mind.
Ye Feng only absorbed a portion of it, his expression changed unconsciously.
