Chapter 1274 - 1279: What’s Inside?
For some unknown reason, a warning was issued to the Frenchman and the auction continued, but only Victor kept pondering why Yang Yi had issued the warning.
Why did Yang Yi speak? Because he had to speak.
With faces covered, and considering that someone like Tartar could change his gait and physical characteristics at any time, Yang Yi had no way of identifying if Tartar was among these people.
So by saying something, Tartar should be able to recognize him, right?
Yang Yi had no interest in this blood-stained gold because he didn’t like it, and he was extremely wealthy, with no need or desire for anything here.
As for those artifacts, Yang Yi had even less interest.
It’s not that Yang Yi wasn’t interested in historical relics, but he didn’t like plundering others’ history for his own collection, especially not fragments remaining after ISIS destroyed the treasures of human civilization.
The auction proceeded rather quickly, as there weren’t many items to sell in bulk, but Yang Yi observed secretly, these items did sell for some money, about five million US dollars in total.
A mere five million US dollars, behind which are untold souls and the utterly destroyed Mosul Museum.
Everything was sold in piles, with prices low enough for these far-flung merchants to profit, but not so high as to make several or dozens of times as much; basically, being able to double the purchase price from the auction was about right.
Yang Yi didn’t make a move, which puzzled Azar. He finally couldn’t help but whisper, "Are you completely uninterested in the items here?"
