Chapter 224: Brothers, let’s gang up on him.
Dai Zhong narrowed his eyes cautiously.
"Sir, our auction house has a stellar reputation in the industry. Every item auctioned is jointly authenticated by multiple cultural relic experts, with complete certification. You can rest assured."
The young man placed the jade token back into the sandalwood box, closed the lid, and secured the lock.
The hand wearing the white gloves rested lightly on the box, fingers tapping softly.
"It’s authentic."
Dai Zhong immediately handed the contract to the other party. "So, can we finalize the agreement now?"
At the door, an entire finance team was waiting.
A transaction worth one billion is complicated to process, but for the experienced auction house, it’s nothing more than notifying the bank.
"Not so fast," the young man said leisurely. "According to Article 18 of the Auction Law, the auctioneer is entitled to explain the source of the auctioned item to the buyer. So I’d like to know, through what channels and from whom did you acquire this item?"
Dai Zhong chuckled. "All of our auction items are sourced through legitimate channels, sir, you don’t need to worry about that. Clause 24 of the contract clearly states as much."
"Let me ask one last time: who did you obtain this jade token from, and through what means?"
The young man’s voice remained calm as he stared directly at Dai Zhong.
