Chapter 1446 How can there be such a boring person?

Xiao Peng looked at Kasin: "What's wrong?"

Kasim said, "According to the principle of 'good faith acquisition,' they can't reclaim anything from you! If that's considered 'good faith acquisition,' then yours is even more so! You just need to transfer the salvaged items to your own museum under the name of your company. Even if you put Napoleon's mother's underpants in there, they won't have the right to claim them!"

"Napoleon's mother's big underpants? What does that mean?" Xiao Peng was stunned.

Kasin explained: "It's the French national treasure!"

Xiao Peng chuckled. "That's right, you're absolutely right. To be precise, I've always done this. That's why I have so many national treasures from various countries displayed in my 'Xiao Pavilion'. They dare not speak out because I abide by their laws! You see, I often sell precious metals that I salvage, but when have you ever seen me sell their artifacts? I just want them to know how it feels to have their things stolen! Do you know what we Daxia people are best at?"

"What is it?" Kasim asked in confusion.

Xiao Peng said, "It's about using rules made by others to defeat others! Why did they bring us into the WTO back then? Wasn't it to use the rules they set to control our country's development? Look at the countries in the Middle East as the best example. It turns out that even countries with strong economies always stagnate after joining the WTO, even if they have abundant energy resources. And what about us, Daxia? After joining the WTO, we quickly mastered the rules and used them to defeat them. The same is true for me salvaging shipwrecks now. The rules regarding shipwreck salvage were also made by them, and when making these rules, their first consideration was to benefit themselves. After all, Daxia was restricted by its own laws and technological level, and in the early years, it had never set foot in the ocean. But now it's different. Our country has also begun to explore the deep sea, and they can't accept my frantic recovery of their cultural relics, but I'm acting within the boundaries they drew and according to their laws. You know, I've always been a law-abiding person."

Kasim laughed and said, "Boss, your 'law-abiding' is just like the way you beat up Renault. First you labeled him a 'hooligan' and then you beat him up? These police officers really don't understand you at all: how could Renault suddenly lose his balance and rip Ilka's clothes? I won't believe you didn't do anything about this! If others don't know what you can do, I know only you."

"Shut up! You're the one who knows more, right?" Xiao Peng said, "Anyway, I'm the iron fist of justice who specializes in beating up old scoundrels!"

Kashin nodded wildly: "Boss, you are right! Whoever says wrong will be slapped in the face by me! Boss, where are we going now?"

"Let's go find someplace to have fun!" Xiao Peng said, "We're not going back. Believe me, tomorrow if they can't find me it'll be really lively!"

Xiao Peng said that tomorrow would be very lively, but in fact many people couldn't sleep tonight.

"Director Yu Beier! Is this really given to you by Xiao?" A lot of people gathered in a room. They were looking at photos one by one through a projector. The one asking the questions was Luxon.

Hubert said, "Xiao left me this USB drive when we parted today. I'll let you take a look after I've read the contents. You are all leaders in the French collectors and cultural relics circles. Please come and determine the authenticity of these items."

Luxon took a deep breath and pointed at the photo on the wall. "This is Louis XVI's golden globe. The sphere is made of silver, and the frame is made of gold inlaid with diamonds. After Louis XVI was executed, the globe was passed to his daughter Marie-Thérèse. When the Orleans Dynasty overthrew the Bourbon Dynasty, she was queen for twenty minutes and left the palace. The golden globe became the collection of Louis-Philippe, Duke of Orleans, who placed it in the Palace of Fontainebleau. It was later looted by the Germans and its whereabouts are unknown."

Marie-Thérèse is considered a tragic princess in French history.

She was the daughter of Louis XVI. After the French people attacked the Bastille and overthrew the rule of Louis XVI, Marie-Thérèse was beaten and raped by the mob and jailers. She was only fifteen years old and was tortured into confessing. Therefore, she hated her cowardice and timidity throughout her life. After the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty, she devoted herself to revenge against the Republicans and Jacobins.

Her future husband, Louis XIX, was the eldest son of King Charles X of France, so she became the Dauphinée of France. However, the July Revolution broke out in France, and Charles X was forced to abdicate the throne in favor of Louis XIX, Marie-Thérèse's husband. Twenty minutes later, Louis XIX also signed a similar abdication order. Therefore, Marie-Thérèse was Queen of France for only twenty minutes.

Yu Beier asked, "Is this thing in the photo real or fake?"

Luxon smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I were the director of the Fontainebleau Palace Museum, I'd never seen this globe. I only knew of its existence through the museum's records. And how could I possibly tell its authenticity just by looking at a photo of it, even though I haven't seen the real thing? But based on my guess, I think it's real! After all, many of the French here are leaders in the French collecting world. You didn't even know that the Palace of Fontainebleau once had such a collection, let alone a Daxia person? How did he know about the existence of such a globe and even make a replica?"

After hearing this, Hubert said, "The exhibits in his museum are less than one percent of what's on this USB drive! What does he mean by giving it to me?"

Luxon thought for a moment and continued, "I can guess his purpose."

Hubert asked, "Oh? Tell me what you think."

Luxon said, "He prepared this USB drive before his confrontation with Renault, indicating he came with good intentions. He may have given it to Director Huber for two reasons: First, most of the exhibits on it have never been on display in his museum! Furthermore, the coordinates of the shipwrecks he recently salvaged haven't been published, and according to regulations, these items can't be traded! If he wants to sell them now, he needs to contact us."

Yu Beier nodded: "What about the second possibility?"

Luxon said, "From what I understand, he's been knighted by the Netherlands, and he even made a rare appearance at the Chaumet reception. Could it be that he wants to blend into high society, and donating to a French museum is the quickest way to boost his reputation?"

After hearing this, everyone present thought about it and nodded.

"It's very possible!"

“Who wouldn’t want to fit in with Parisian high society?”

"Uh, is it possible that he took this out just to tempt us?"

"...Your assumption is ridiculous. How could there be such boring people in the world?"

In fact, there really are such boring people - that's what Xiao Peng really thinks!
