Chapter 631 - The Underground Treasure Vault (2/2)

Sir Owen was relieved to hear that Qin Haodong would only choose the treasures of Huaxia. Thus, he said with satisfaction, “Well, as you’ve said, except for the sculpted head, you can choose another 7 works of Huaxia for exchange.”

Qin Haodong said, “Well, that’s deal. But I still have a condition.”

Sir Owen was excited at the thought of the 7 paintings, so he replied with a big smile on his face, “Dear Qin, please tell me. I will meet your needs if I can.”

“I want to have a look at your treasure vault. I always trust my instincts when I choose the treasure, so I can’t make a wise decision by merely looking at their names on this list.”

After hesitating for a moment, Sir Owen agreed and said, “Well then, welcome to my treasure vault.”

If Qin Haodong only had one sketch of Picasso, he would not have let him to enter his treasure vault. But this young man had just given him a group of ten works of Picasso, that was the reason why he treated him differently.

Sir Owen asked Fred, his steward to take a bunch of keys and lead Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang to his treasure vault.

They went out of the living room and opened a heavy security door not far away. There was nothing behind but a wooden stairs leading to the underground.

Qin Haodong followed Sir Owen and walked down to the basement. The walls on both sides of the stairs were decorated as the living room. It looked magnificent, luxurious, and elegant. There were many murals hanging on the walls.

Qin Haodong could sense some Spiritual Qi around the murals, which indicated that they must be valuable antiques.

They went downstairs and finally walked in the underground treasure vault of Sir Owen. They could see everything here clearly with the bright light.

Sir Owen didn’t stop here. He led Qin Haodong through a long corridor and came to a security door made of pure steel.

Fred took out the key and opened the security door. A hot and dry whif wafted by as if they were in the desert.

Sir Owen said, “My dear Qin, this is my treasure vault and all the treaures I’ve collected over the years are here. Now please have a look.”

After speaking, he took the lead and turned on the light on the wall. The dim room suddenly turned bright and Qin Haodong was surprised by what he saw.

The underground treasure vault was so spacious that Qin couldn’t even see its border. He even wondered if Sir Owen had emptied the entire space under the villa to store his numerous treasures.

He was about to walk inside, but Sir Owen stopped him and said, “Qin, please wait a moment. I have to close the anti-theft system first.”

Then he was busy pushing the various buttons on a monitor panel at the door for a long time. After hearing a beep sound, he nodded to let them enter the room.

Sir Owen had spent much money on the security system of this underground treasure vault. There were infrared rays everywhere and they were as thick as a spider web. Even a fly would trigger off the alarm bell.

After getting permission, Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang stepped into the room together. The treasure room was so spacious that they couldn’t even see its border. There were treasures everywhere and even an ordinary museum didn’t have so many items.

Moreover, Qin Haodong felt that most of these items had Spiritual Qi and only a small part of them was fake.

Even these fake items were exquisitely forged, so ordinary people couldn’t see the difference. No wonder Sir Owen enjoyed a good reputation in the auction house.

Li Dongguo had once mentioned that Sir Owen’s wealth was immeasurable and Qin Haodong believed him now. He didn’t know how much money these treasures would sell for.

Qin Haodong took a few steps forward and heard a slight motor sound. He looked in the direction of the sound and found an air drier in the corner. No wonder it was so dry here. They could see such a machine working every 30 or 40 meters.

Sir Owen followed Qin Haodong and said, “Qin, we must hurry up. There are too many treasures here.”

Qin Haodong nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Sir Owen. I trust my instinct when I choose items. It won’t take much time.”

Then he strode across the treasure room and felt the collections on both sides with his Spirit. He could learn the quality without even looking at these items.

There were too many treasures here, such as the brush washer of the Northern Song Dynasty, the vase made by the Northern Song’s Ding Kiln, the five-colored vase of the Qing Dynasty, and the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty…

If Liu Qigong were here, he would have gone crazy. However, Qin Haodong was not interested in these precious items and what he wanted was something like the Demon-Vanquishing Wand.

He was examining the treasures quickly, but suddenly he stopped and looked at the storage shelf on one side.
