The Blacklist

Chapter 139 Be the most arrogant undercover

According to the traditional rules of the Jin family, if there are more than two heirs in each generation, they must each take charge of a piece of the family business after they reach adulthood. After one or two auctions each year, the transaction amounts of the items auctioned under the name of each son must be compared internally. The person with the smaller amount must play "Russian roulette" in front of family members to decide his fate!
This competition lasted for one or two years, or even seven or eight years, until only one winner remained and became the natural heir. The winner of the previous generation was the current head of the family, Earl King, and this generation was Francis and Taylor. Taylor was defeated last time, and when he put the revolver to his head, he swore in his heart: If I don't die, I will never have this kind of excitement again!

At this time, he already knew that Francis had kidnapped the "gatekeeper of the criminal world" Reddington for this auction. This auction item was very valuable. If he didn't have the auction proceeds from this Van Gogh work, he would definitely lose! So, when he heard that Sullivan and his companions had violated the auction rules so strongly, Taylor could only grit his teeth and endure it, because he couldn't afford to lose! ——
A few hours later, the Bentley drove to a manor by the sea and stopped. After getting out of the car, although Carrie was not sure where this place was, she guessed that this place should be in Baltimore. Without asking any more questions, she turned around and helped Elizabeth, who was in a dress, out of the car.

The place where they stopped was in front of a large two-and-a-half-story Baroque building. Under the porch supported by tall stone pillars, without facing the gate stood two rows of men in suits, each with more than ten people. Each of them wore sunglasses and crossed their hands in front of them, looking very tough.

Just as Carrie and Elizabeth were looking at the building, a middle-aged man in a tuxedo came over and bowed, saying, "Ms. Sullivan, Mr. Richard, welcome to the Kim family manor. Please follow me." He was very polite and had a British style.

Kerry held back his laughter, thinking: This Jin family is really good at pretentious, they still act like the royal family of the past!

The two people who were led did not go to the hall, but to a client's room on the east side of the second floor. The Jin family manager bowed again and said, "Miss, sir, please take a rest. In two hours, someone will lead you to the auction. There are drinks and meals in the room, you can enjoy them..."

After closing the door, the two still didn't speak. Carrie quickly checked and found three cameras and five eavesdropping devices. He took them down one by one and smashed them on the spot! As for whether this move would arouse the vigilance of the Jin family, he didn't care at all, because his identity was Sullivan's bodyguard, which should be a necessary skill. Not doing this would arouse suspicion!

Elizabeth signaled him with her eyes and asked: Are you okay?

"It's okay." Carrie said directly. He was sure of this. He had just checked it again secretly with the instrument in his portable space. He believed that no matter how high the monitoring level of the Jin family was, it could not exceed the products of the system mall.

"Oh! I can finally take a break!" Elizabeth kicked off her high heels, took off her women's suit and threw it aside, then lay on her back on the big bed and sighed, "Lee, it seems that I am really not suitable for wearing this kind of clothes!"

Seeing her unladylike appearance, Kerry couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Liz, after all, I am an 80-point beauty with decent looks. I have to be more ladylike!"

"Huh! Only 80 points?" Elizabeth was unhappy. No girl could tolerate this! "How many points did Gina have?" Kerry had just said it casually, but was stunned when he heard her words. He could only say, "Gina, it's about the same as you, both have 80 points!"

"Around 80 points?" Elizabeth became even angrier. "In your heart, Gina is still prettier than me!"

This inexplicable jealousy really confused Kerry. What was going on?
When she looked up and saw him in a daze, Elizabeth reacted and blushed first, and stopped talking!
-
More than two hours later, it was completely dark. The two men, who had changed their clothes, were notified by the steward and led to a hall on the basement floor of the big house.

At this time, a buffet of considerable size was going on in the hall. However, among the dozens of well-dressed men and women attending the banquet, almost no one was eating. Most of them were holding a glass of red wine or champagne, chatting with "friends" they knew or had heard of but had never met.

Although Carrie and Elizabeth did not touch the food prepared by the Jin family in the room, they were not hungry. Carrie had enough delicious food in her personal space, so they filled their stomachs first. Naturally, they would not eat those cold Western meals when attending the buffet.

Elizabeth took a glass of champagne as if pretending to drink, but Carrie suddenly opened a 500ml can of beer and drank it by himself as if no one was around. He looked around at everyone in the hall without feeling uncomfortable at all. Instead, the men and women who were seen by him felt their eyes brighten and thought that this heroic young man was really different from others!
Taylor King, who watched Carrie and Elizabeth coming in from afar, was also impressed. He had never thought that Miss Sullivan and her boyfriend and bodyguard, who came on behalf of Koskov, would be so outstanding. Now he had an idea - if Richard's courage and skills could be used by him, wouldn't it be a great help? And since Miss Sullivan could become Koskov's agent, she must be very capable. As long as he could conquer one, he could get two helpers. It should be a good deal.

Before Taylor could put his idea into action, the auction started at the signal of the owner, Earl King...

In the previous rounds of auctions, good transaction prices were achieved under the words of the auctioneer who was eloquent and spoke like machine gun bullets. Next, before Van Gogh's painting was put up, Reddington was brought up!

Seeing Reddington, who was dressed neatly, in a well-tailored suit, and even with makeup on his face, Carrie and Elizabeth couldn't help but laugh, even though they were in the enemy's lair!
Reddington, who was brought to the auction table, also saw the two people standing not far from the stage. Seeing them laughing, he spread his hands helplessly, knowing that he was really embarrassed this time and would probably be laughed at by these two for a long time in the future!
Naturally, other people would not understand the interaction between the stage and the audience, so the auction continued.
