Chapter 1676: This Thing Couldn’t Possibly Be Valuable!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Feng wanted to see how he could get his hands on that exclusive Victoria Cross medal, and at the same time, he wanted to see who that familiar boss was.
The moment he stepped into the dry cleaning shop, he stopped in his tracks and smiled.
At the same time, a slightly surprised voice came from the dry cleaning shop. “Boss Ye, why are you here?”
The moment the greeting was heard, a rather simple and sturdy figure also came out from inside to welcome him.
It was John Bull, the black market merchant who had just come into contact with Ye Feng last night.
“I happened to pass by and heard that someone was trading the pure gold Victoria Cross medal, so I came in to take a look.” Ye Feng replied half-truthfully. “I didn’t expect this.”
“Is this your shop?”
“A dry cleaning shop. It’s quite unexpected.”
John Bull scratched his head. “On the surface, I am indeed the owner of a dry cleaning shop.”
“But those who have been in the black market for a long time know what my situation is.”
“Sometimes, some regular customers come to my place to sell their stolen goods.”
As he spoke, he quickly took out a golden medal that was wrapped in cotton cloth. “You just said that you were interested in this replica of the Victoria Cross, right? The thing is right here. I haven’t had the time to put it away yet.”
Ye Feng did not stand on ceremony.
After receiving the item, he began to examine it carefully.
He looked around and scanned it with Deep Treasure Hunt. After confirming that it was the exclusive Victoria Cross medal that the girl in the baseball uniform had just sold, which was worth more than 300 million, he turned to John Bull and said, “I’m very interested in this thing. Can you sell it to me?”
John Bull didn’t think too much about it. He was only slightly stunned before he quickly said, “It’s just a small item.”
“I only spent 7,000 dollars to buy it. It’s not worth much.”
“Boss Ye, if you like it, I can give it to you.”
Ye Feng shook his head. “After all, you bought it with money, it’s not good to take it for free.”
“Moreover, this thing might be very valuable.”
“If I take it for free, I won’t be able to live with my conscience.”
“It can’t be valuable.” John Bull replied without hesitation. “The Victoria Cross, if it’s the real thing, is worth more than 700,000 dollars.”
“However, this item is not made of bronze, which is unique to the Victoria Cross. Also, the name, military rank, unit, and date of the issuance are not engraved on the back either. It is a pure replica.”
“Although the other details of the medal are the same as the real thing. After it was circulated to the black market, it was estimated to be worth about 10,000 dollars because it was forged from pure gold.”
Ye Feng did not argue with him, after accepting the exclusive Victoria Cross medal, he took out his phone. “I will say the same thing, friendship is friendship, business is business, blood brothers still settle accounts.”
“Just treat it as if I bought this from you.”
“I’ll pay ten times your purchase price. Seventy thousand dollars.”
After saying that, he once again declined John Bull’s request to give the item for free. After asking for his account number, he transferred 70,000 dollars over.
After that, he started to leave with the exclusive Victoria Cross.
“Boss Ye!”
John Bull was anxious. “There’s no need for that.”
“And even if you want to buy it, just pay me the cost.”
“The 70,000 dollars is too much.”
He still wanted to catch up to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng shook him off, at the same time, he sighed inwardly.
Seventy thousand dollars was not a lot at all.
The system had estimated the value of this out-of-print Victoria Cross medal to be 300 million yuan.
It was equivalent to more than 40 million dollars.
He only used 70,000 dollars to buy it, which would give him more than 500 times the profit!
Moreover, it could be said that he had completed the treasure navigation this time without any effort.
It was the simplest and easiest treasure hunt he had ever done since he obtained the automatic treasure-hunting system.
There was no danger, no complicated tricks and the profits were extremely high…
No matter how one looked at it, it seemed impeccable.
“We commoners are really happy today ~”
He unconsciously hummed a very ancient melody.
After walking out of the winding alleys, he prepared to return to his Maybach S680.
Unexpectedly, he had only taken two steps when he heard the sound of a motorcycle behind him.
Then, a slightly surprised voice greeted him. “Mr. Ye, why are you here?”
He turned around and saw that it was the imperial agent of the Empire of Sun Never Sets whom Ye Feng had met before, Isabella.
She was wearing a tight-fitting leather jacket, which outlined her figure extremely seductively.
Especially when she was sitting on the motorcycle, her curves made a huge visual impact.
However, for some reason, she seemed to be in a hurry, so her hairstyle and face were a little flawed.
It ruined the drastic and sexy beauty of her figure and motorcycle.
Ye Feng saw that she slowed down and stopped beside him, he smiled. “I happened to pass by.”
“What about you? Why are you in such a hurry?”
“Could it be that you’ve found some clues about the precious collection passed down by Jerry Burrows’ family?”
“I don’t know about the clues to the collection, but I did take on a temporary special case.” Isabella sighed. “I was busy helping you organize the information about the biological research institute in the Sun Never Sets Empire when I suddenly received a call from my boss.”
“It’s said that the Duke of Buckingham’s precious exclusive Victoria Cross has been lost.”
“They searched inside and outside the house for a long time, but couldn’t find it.”
“They’re asking me, who is the closest to Duke Buckingham’s manor, to go over and take a look.”
Ye Feng’s body stiffened. “What did you say?”
“The Duke of Buckingham lost the exclusive Victoria Cross?”
Isabella was a little confused. “Why? You’re Chinese, but you know the importance of the exclusive Victoria Cross?”
“Isn’t it something only known to a few people who have reached a certain level of nobility in the Sun Never Sets Empire or people from special departments like us?”
“The matter of the Queen of the Sun Never Sets Empire giving the medal to Duke Buckingham is a top secret in the Sun Never Sets Empire!”
Ye Feng was not in a hurry to say that this thing was in his hands, but his brain was working quickly as he said, “After all, I am someone in the antique industry, I have heard of it before.”
“According to the market price, this thing seems to be worth more than 40 million dollars.”
“It should be extremely rare, right?”
“It’s not just rare!” Isabella shook her head. “Strictly speaking, this exclusive Victoria Cross medal is unique even in the Sun Never Sets Empire!”
“The kind where you can’t find a second one!”
“…”
