In an instant, the heart of the young man was extremely chaotic, Princess Orika!He should have thought of Princess Orika. When was the last time he saw the princess?However, that doesn't seem to be important, the important thing is that these days, he obviously failed, and the things that he thought he had been overcome by reason in the past few months are actually extremely fragile, just like paper can't wrap fire , Reason cannot contain emotion. At this time, when he thought of Princess Orika, his body trembled involuntarily, his face turned pale, and his vision became blurred. Yes, his vision became blurred. In his eyes, the face of the manager of the antique store standing in front of him was just a hazy mass, but despite this, he could still see the manager's wide-open mouth.The manager must have felt extremely surprised, otherwise, he wouldn't have opened his mouth so wide.

Yes, the manager was extremely surprised, because His Royal Highness the Prince in front of him suddenly turned pale, his eyes were lifeless, his body was trembling and swaying, and it looked as if he was about to fall down immediately. The manager supported the young man, and stammered: What do you think, do you want me to call the doctor? The manager's words caused buzzing echoes around the young man. The young man tried his best to gather his composure, pushed away the manager's trembling hand, took the wine bottle, stopped his mouth, drank the wine in big gulps, and let it go. With the fine wine dripping from the corner of his mouth, the manager wiped his sweat and was at a loss. After sitting down, the young man seemed much calmer.

The young man wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and looked up at the manager. The manager had a remorseful look on his face, and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, even if I knew your identity, I shouldn't have called you that." The young man couldn't explain the real reason for his shock to the manager, so he waved his hand, interrupted the manager first, and then took a breath. At this time, he seemed to have completely returned to normal, even his voice was gone. He couldn't hear anything strange, he said: When did that happen? The manager was taken aback for a moment, unable to understand the meaning of the young man's question, he just looked at the young man, and the young man asked again: "When did you see that princess?"

The manager hurriedly said: Last time you bought that treasured knife, not long after you left the store, she came in and told me your identity, and she also asserted that you will definitely come again in a very short time. The young man smiled wryly. Of course, Princess Orika's prophecy would come true, because after he found out that the treasured sword was fake, he would definitely suspect that the manager of the antique shop had done something wrong, and of course he would come again. Now, things are obvious. Last time, after he left the antique shop, he suddenly fell into a coma for four hours. It was definitely not the manager of the antique shop, but Princess Orika!

For a moment, he couldn't figure out how the princess made him fall into a coma for four hours, but it was the princess's doing, and there was no doubt about it. During these four hours, the princess first used a fake treasured knife. As soon as he thought of this, the young man's body couldn't help shaking again: How did the princess know that he would definitely come to this antique shop to buy this treasured knife? Princess Orika has no reason to know about his uncle's birthday. Even if she knew, she would not know that he was going to buy a birthday present for her uncle. Taking a step back, even if she knew that she would buy a birthday present for her uncle, she would have no way of knowing that he would go It's simply impossible to buy King Darley's saber!

Taking a step back, even if Princess Orika knows everything, the last time he was in London, it took only three days. During the three days, after he stepped into the antique shop, even he himself couldn't know what to buy. And that fake precious sword is so beautifully made that even a first-rate forgery expert would probably take at least a month to make it. The young man's mind became more and more chaotic, he took another deep breath, and said: "Princess, did she say that if I want to see her, where will she be?" The manager said: I don't know, Your Highness, it seems that you and the princess are a natural match, if there is any misunderstanding between you

Without waiting for the manager to finish, the young man interrupted him with a wave of his hand and stood up. At this time, although his mind was still full of doubts, he was at least calm enough to be sure that when he was in London last time, Princess Orika had been following him secretly, and he hadn't noticed it at all.But this time, since the princess had already determined that he would come again, she naturally followed him. That is to say, the princess will definitely show up to meet him. Not long after the young man stood up, his demeanor was completely back to normal, but his heart was still full of an indescribable bitterness. At that time, the deputy manager also came back from the bank after completing the formalities. The Indian crown, looking at the young man.

The young man waved his hands and said, "I would like to trouble you to temporarily store this crown in your safe, is it okay?" The manager hurriedly said: Yes!sure!And, for our regular customers, we are happy to serve you at no charge! The young man smiled and walked out of the manager's room. The manager was busy collecting the crown, and the deputy manager respectfully sent it out. After leaving the antique shop, the cold wind blows in the face. As he walked towards the car, the young man carefully paid attention to whether someone was following him, but he immediately gave up this attention because his car was parked at the corner of the street. Walking back to his car, even if someone was following him, why start following him as soon as he left the antique shop?

But when he thought of this, his steps slowed down, because he also thought: the stalker thought he would go back to the car, what if he didn't go to the car? Since the beginning of this matter, he has been in an extremely unfavorable passive position. At this time, it may be beneficial to him to change this passive position a little. He turned around, walked into a department store seemingly very naturally, then walked through the hall of the department store, passed a corridor behind the store, and walked out from the back door next to the toilet. There was a side street outside the back door. He stopped a taxi, got into the car, handed two ten-pound notes to the taxi driver, and said, "Just go around in circles until the twenty pounds are used up!"

The driver looked at him with a very surprised look, and immediately drove the car forward. Although in the car, the bustle of the city is also very noisy, but at least he can calm down and think about it.What are you thinking?Of course it is Princess Olika, who is so beautiful and cute that I don’t want to think about, but she is so beautiful that people shouldn’t think about it! When did Princess Orika break up with him last time?It was in a hotel room in South Africa, he asked her to contact Linglongshou, and asked Linglongshou to arrange a place for her to hide from Indian tigers and King Kong.

In the past six months, the battle between the Indian tiger and King Kong has become a big news among the underworld criminals all over the world. Up to now, the fight is not over yet, but it has reached the point where both sides suffer. Under the current situation, even if Princess Orika shows up in public again, the Indian tiger and King Kong will naturally not take her into consideration when their elite troops are completely lost and they have to keep on guard against each other. It's safe now. The young people also know that Linglong arranged Princess Orika in a monastery built on the top of a cliff, which requires hanging blue to get up. The question is: when did she leave the monastery?How could she know that she was safe and could leave in the secluded monastery? Young people don't understand this either. Moreover, judging from what has happened, Princess Olika must be preparing to deal with him, and it is definitely not a matter of changing a treasured sword. What is her next move? Taxis are circling in circles on the streets of London, and young people's thoughts are also constantly circling. He also thought that after sending Princess Orika to the monastery, he and his uncle used the sewers in Johannesburg to get away the batch of gold from the Indian tiger. After melting, it has been continuously launched in the international market. Does Princess Orika already know about this? If she knew, what action would Princess Orika take? The young man rubbed his face with his hands, he felt tired, this tired feeling was certainly not the kind that forced him to fall asleep last time, but it was enough to remind him of the last time he fell asleep, his body, and Involuntarily, it shook! Last time, he fell asleep for four hours. It never takes four hours to change a fake knife!And he indeed fell asleep for four hours, then, what else happened during these four hours? In four full hours, many things could have happened, but the trouble was, he couldn't remember any of them.Moreover, fundamentally, if Princess Orika herself hadn't revealed to the manager of the antique store that she intended to let him know, he wouldn't have associated the matter with the princess at all. The young man smiled bitterly. He felt his failure. He had never been pushed around like that. The taxi finally stopped, and the driver looked back at the young man. The young man told the driver to drive to the corner where he parked. In the cold mist, the lights on the ceiling already glowed charmingly. The young man walked into the hotel lobby and walked towards the elevator. He was thinking in his heart that he had nothing to do now. Princess Orika had let him know that the matter was related to her, so she would definitely meet him. , now, just wait for when she will show up. The young man entered the elevator and came to the floor where he lived. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he heard a sweet voice from the side of the elevator, saying: What are you running from? The young man stopped, but he didn't look back, because he didn't have to look back at all, and he could know who it was.He didn't answer either, just let out a wry laugh. Then, a plump and smooth arm was inserted into his arm, and a faint fragrance entered his nose. The young man felt dizzy for a while, and he took a deep breath. He didn't want to He turned his head to look, but he just took a step and couldn't help turning his head away. Princess Orika didn't look at him, she just stared straight ahead with her head held up slightly. The lines on her profile are extremely beautiful, more beautiful than any Greek statues.The young man couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart. When he came to the door of the room, the young man opened the door. He wanted to say something lighter and playful, such as do you want me to carry you in, but he only moved his lips without making any sound. There are many men like that. If they are facing a woman that they are not interested in, they may have witty words like pearls, but if they are facing a woman who has already developed subtle feelings in the bottom of their hearts, he may not be able to say a word. Come out, looking clumsy to the extreme. But now, the young man's feelings and relationship with Princess Orika are still so subtle that it really makes him unable to say any funny words. After closing the door, Princess Orika turned around. Her clear eyes looked directly at the young man. The young man made a helpless gesture and said, "Okay, tell me, what do you want?" The princess smiled sweetly, leaned over, kissed the young man on the cheek lightly, and said: You are wrong, you lied to me, you should ask: How should I make up for it! The young man was a little annoyed, and said: I never lied to you! The corners of the princess's lips were raised slightly, she looked very attractive, she turned around lightly, and said: You lied to me that King Kong and the Indian tiger would deal with me, but in fact, they killed each other under your arrangement. The young man sneered and said: If you think they won't deal with you, then you are wrong! The princess came to the window, opened the curtain a little, looked out, and said, "You don't have to scare me anymore, even if they really want to deal with me, I won't go back to that monastery like a tomb, then It is a great tomb, a great tomb where the living are buried, and it is more terrible than the one where the dead are buried. The young man sighed. He could imagine how painful it would be for a person like Princess Orika to live in such an isolated monastery. He said slowly: It was not my idea to arrange you to hide in such a place, it was Linglong's. It wasn't until the young man spoke up to this point that Princess Orika turned around abruptly and interrupted the young man's words with her gaze. Her gaze, at that moment, was shockingly full of resentment, but Then it became fierce again, and within a very short period of time, it returned to normal. She said coldly: How long did it take before you found out? The young man said truthfully: One month later! The princess's voice became more severe, and said: "Then, why didn't you come to me, or even send someone to inform me?" The young man spread his hands. He couldn't answer this question because he was extremely conflicted. He liked to be with the princess because she was such a beautiful beauty; but he was afraid of being with the princess because he had no way of knowing. On top of her appearance, she was thinking of something weird. The princess waved her hand dramatically, and said: Forget it, what about the gold from the Indian tiger? The young man immediately said: If you think I can get those 282 golden balls out, you think I am too capable. The princess stared at the young man, and the young man tried his best to pretend nothing had happened. The princess let out a sneer, and the young man couldn't understand what her sneer meant. The princess sat down, raised her head and said: I have been following you for a long time!did you know? The young man also sat down and said: Now that I know it, it’s still the same sentence, what do you think, say it! The princess giggled, showing her beautiful white teeth, and said: What a coincidence, do you know who informed me that I could leave the monastery? The young man didn't respond. The princess looked at an oil painting hanging on the wall, and said: Goye IV! The young man was shocked suddenly, and he suddenly understood many things! Goye IV, that brilliant, but criminal artist, whose housekeeping skill is to make fake antiques so fake they can be mistaken for the real thing!The young man immediately linked him with the saber of King Dali!His heart was crying: So that's it! Although he still didn't say a word, the princess could clearly tell what was going on in his heart from his expression, she leaned over and said in a low voice: What a coincidence, isn't it? The young man smiled wryly, and murmured: Yes, what a coincidence! Yes, what a coincidence! Now, young people have fully understood what is going on.When Goye IV asked the princess to come out, it was naturally not out of good intentions. He wanted the princess to leave the lonely monastery, but he wanted to cooperate with the princess to do something. The cooperation between Goye IV and Princess Orika is of course a crime, and it must be a crime that requires a high degree of skill to achieve, and it must even be a crime that has caused a sensation in the world.Due to the expertise of Goyer IV, the crime they planned must also be related to antique works of art. Thinking of this, the matter is no longer clear. King Goyer IV and Princess Orika are planning to make the idea of ​​Yitong Antique Store, which is the largest in scale and has the largest collection of treasures in the world.
