Chapter 625

At 11:30, the first pier of outer juster.

The wind blew hard.

The sea wind polished the edge of the island like a fast grinding wheel, and the irritable waves beat the coast one after another.

Even for the islanders who have lived on the island for a long time, such bad but rainless weather is not common.

"It might as well rain!"

Brooklyn, who worked at the dock, chewed hard bread, raised a wooden cup, drank clean water mixed with bad wine, and threw a plate out of the canteen.

He's going to work.

Different from most people's imagination, because of the chic and harsh privacy protection, they are the most busy group of dockers during the auction of asylum villa.

Their dormitory is at Pier 1 in the easternmost part of the island, and the auction items are stored at piers 27 and 28 in the westernmost corner.

Four hours before each auction, they had to cross the whole island and carry the expensive and fragile auctions to the main venue one by one. Two hours after the auction, the auction products will be sent to the corresponding wharf for a large amount of gold coins.

In the middle of the night, these gold coins have to be shipped and left the island.

In just two days, their work arrangement is plural. Everyone's hourly work content is pasted on the wall of the dormitory. According to the sudden accident, they have to accept the assignment and support at any time.

What's more, such busyness is sudden. The one-year dispatch on the island is very leisurely most of the time. Only less than a week before and after the auction, even if you know that this is the reason why the chamber of Commerce pays them for a whole year, people can't help getting upset.

"Even sleep should be on standby. Can't slaves do such a job?" Brooklyn became more and more bored. He put on the special shoulder strap for carrying the auction and beat his waist to start the afternoon work.

The wind suddenly sent a strange cry.

"Enemy... Attack! Enemy... Attack!"

The strong wind made the voice inaudible, but I could barely hear the source.

Brooklyn looked up along the source of the sound and saw a floating red silk on the lookout platform hunting in the strong wind.

The Secretary's lookout guard waved, and behind him, in the direction of the sea, like a forest of sails and masts jumped out of the water.

flame!

Brooklyn saw the fire, and then a strange howl came into the roaring wind.

Woo

Brooklyn's eyes widened: "enemy... Enemy attack! Artillery!!!"

Boom!

……

As Lorraine expected, the free bidding of box 2 was much more decisive than that of box 16. In just three minutes, 180000 became 200000, which was still a price increase of 20000, at least avoiding the bad state of killing with a stick that Lorraine was most worried about.

No. 7 and No. 16 did not hesitate to follow up, and the design drawings of howling entered the final decisive round at a sky high price of 203000 pounds.

The bidding price rose rapidly. It took two minutes to break through 210000, 220000 was still two minutes, 230000 was still two minutes.

Lorraine's No. 7, his opponents No. 2 and No. 16 were extremely decisive and did not hesitate when making an offer, while the 15 minute time set by Seager for his subordinates had passed, but Harry and Ryan still didn't bring good news.

SIG could not see a smile on his face: "No. 2 is Russian and No. 16 is Portuguese. Is that your judgment?"

"I said I couldn't rule out the worst. Old dukov was on the 16th, and the previous bidding was the smoke he asked his nephew to put."

"The worst case..." sig swallowed. "Guess how much money the Russians brought?"

"More than 350000, more than 100000 higher than our total chips, the strength of the ruling class."

"Is it crazy for the Russians to spend 350000 on a drawing of a class III battleship?"

Lorraine glanced at Seager in a strange way: "this is the time to say such words? When the bidding exceeds 120000, the people participating in the bidding have already..."

Boom!

The door of the box was pushed open. Ryan splashed blood on his face and gasped desperately: "three... 30! Solomon is in box 30, pier 9, and it has been determined that Alexander Hamilton, the interim Secretary of finance of the United States, is also there. As president Drake said, Solomon is just a cover!"

"Two minutes late, but the information is more complete than I thought." Lorraine stood up with a smile and took off his hat and his umbrella sword from the coat hanger. "Carmen, you're in charge here."

Carmen smiled and nodded, "what's your reason for visiting so suddenly?"

"Why..." Lorraine put his top hat over his head, raised his head and stared at Karen. "How about helping Karen as a matchmaker?"

The mountain Karen suddenly lost its color.

"Ha? Ha!"

Like it or not, a moment later, Karen was standing in front of box 30 with Lorraine.

Lorraine took off her gloves and knocked on the door. After a while, the door was opened from the inside.

It was Roddy, the housekeeper of Solomon's house, who opened the door with doubt on his face. When he saw Lorraine and Karen, the doubt turned into horror.

He subconsciously blocked the door: "de... Mr Drake, Mr Scott?"

"Mr. Roddy, your voice is too loud." Lorraine gently stretched out his umbrella sword, pressed the housekeeper's waist and pushed it aside bit by bit.

The old man's face turned red: "de... Mr. Drake, loud voice has always been my characteristic..."

"I don't really understand why you're here."

With a little effort, Lorraine easily photographed the Housekeeper on the wall. The housekeeper struggled hard, but found that he couldn't move at all.

Lorraine sounded like a knife.

"As you can see, I'm here because I know who's inside. I think it's necessary for us to meet. If you want to obstruct me for them, I may kill you, and then nothing will change."

"Alexander, do you want to bleed here?"

"Ah ah, Ken..." Hamilton came out with a strange voice, glanced at the old housekeeper and immediately changed his tune, "Lorraine, you don't look very angry."

"Because I'm pressed for time." Lorraine strode into the box and happened to hear the quotation on the stage.

"242000 pounds! No. 2, No. 7, No. 16! Amazing price, amazing competition! No. 2, No. 7, No. 16, will you continue to insist?"

"245000 pounds!..."

In the cry of surprise, Lorraine walked past Hamilton without expression, took off his hat and hung his umbrella sword.

Karen followed him awkwardly and walked into the room, carefully waving to miss Solomon, who was equally helpless.

Behind them are the old housekeeper Roddy and edre, who guard their duties as servants and subordinates, leaning silently against the wall.

Instead, Hamilton landed last, strolled in and sat down opposite Lorraine.

"I won't ask you how you found me. There won't be a touching story anyway," he said. "Lorraine, why are you here?"

Lorraine tilted his head, propped up his chin and thought, "Karen admires Miss Solomon. Although both parties know this well, Karen did something stupid because of the reserve of northern Europe."

"As his friend, I think I need to support his relationship. Just as love is something that doesn't fit in, I'll do it when I think of it. That's why I came with Karen."

"Is it because of love?" Hamilton's tone made Karen and miss Solomon blush.

It's like being in a trial surrounded by people. Someone is playing with their scars mercilessly. Pain is the second, and more importantly, the sense of shame, which makes people want to find a seam to drill down.

Sadly, both Lorraine and Hamilton are good at abandoning humanity in the face of absolute goals.

Hamilton's face wore a mocking smile: "so Lorraine, my best friend, what are you going to do for their love?"

"I'm not going to do anything," Lorraine said. "Love is a private thing. Once it enters the implementation stage, any help is meaningless."

"Since love is a private matter..." Hamilton patted his palm. "It seems that we'd better avoid it."

“No.”

"No? Reason."

"One is a designer who is afraid of socializing and lacks self-confidence. The other is a young lady who is trapped by the family and believes that she is not liked by others. Their conversation can not go smoothly. As friends, we have the obligation to warm up before they open their heart knot."

"How to warm up?"

"Chat."

"What are you talking about?"

"How much authorization do you have?"

The two parties were completely ignored, but miraculously, because they ignored, they just wanted to thank God.

Hamilton changed his comfortable sitting position: "150000."

"Lend it to me." Lorraine came straight to the point.

"No way, it will ruin my political career," Hamilton said bluntly.

"You will have two options. First, when you land in Boston, I will pay you all the principal and 30% of the bridge interest. It's up to you, public and private. We don't have any documents."

"Second, you will preside over the next American naval procurement. If Drake is selected, I will give a 10% discount on the final transaction price. A memorandum can be signed on this point."

"I want a formal contract. The presiding party is changed to the temporary finance department or any subsequent department. The discount is adjusted to 15%, and 10% is too little."

Lorraine thought for a moment and raised her head: "edre, inform Carmen immediately that she has 400000 now."

"Yes!"
