Dangerous Aesthetics

Oliwen took the invitation and sat down on the sofa.

"Because this is an invitation letter for an underground auction. The bidders will be representatives of families like Waleren from all over the world. At the same time, the commodities in this auction are also obtained illegally."

"Isn't Anthony one of the sellers?" David sighed, "Can you tell me what your painting is, and what marks can be used to identify it?"

"When I was 15 years old, I was introduced to Enwell, the great postmodernist painter at that time, by Professor Lizben. Also under his guidance, I copied another work of Enwell, "Secret Joy". Identification The marks are my fingerprints."

"Are you going to buy that painting?" David asked.

"It would be great if Anthony could buy it so easily." Olivan shook his head, "This time... you'd better not go with me."

David laughed: "Hey, are you afraid that Anthony will do something to me as soon as I arrive at the auction?"

"No, because the bidders present are not easy to mess with, and you will distract me if you go with me."

"But I'm also worried about you here..." As soon as David finished speaking, he saw a smile like the warm winter sun on Oliwen's face.

He kissed David's brow lightly, "From this point of view, Anthony has already lost to me."

"Win or lose between the two of you has nothing to do with me." David said angrily.

This time the auction took place in Moscow.In March, the city is still in the snow season.

David sat on the bed, watching Olivan pack his luggage in an orderly manner.Several winter coats and sweaters were neatly packed into the suitcase.

"Neo left with you too. In this case... New York will only leave me and Diana..." David sighed, but he felt joyful in his heart.

Recently, I have been forced by Olivan's pressing man-marking, so I have no freedom in life.How much he wanted to live a few days of freedom.

Oliwen raised the corners of his mouth, "Stop pretending. As soon as I leave, you will go to this lady or that lady's party. They also desperately hope that you can return to the social circle."

David was duly silent.

Olivan half-kneeled in front of David, turned his face to ask him for a kiss.

"It's really a pity. I wanted to snuggle up with you in the dacha in Moscow, taste fruit wine, and make moxa to my heart's content."

David leaned back. "You've got to watch yourself die of overindulgence."

"Death in your body isn't too bad."

"Okay, if we wait any longer, the plane will fly to Moscow." David pushed Olivan, and Neo also shouted downstairs with his suitcase.

Olivier walked out carrying the box.

"Hey, Olivan!" David stopped him suddenly, but he didn't know what he was going to say.

The other party smiled: "Don't worry, I will come back safe and sound."

On the night of Olivier's departure, David was like a wild horse, handing Diana to the nanny, and attending a dinner party with a local celebrity, naturally flirting with the female guests.

Just as he was about to kiss a female guest on the terrace, the phone rang.

David was taken aback. Then he thought that Olivan hadn't arrived in Moscow so soon. Then he saw that the call was from Diana.

"Dad, when are you coming home?"

He raised his watch and looked at the time. It was past ten o'clock, "Diana, it's so late, why are you still awake?"

"Dad, I was going to bed, but that handsome uncle who was watching you outside the cinema door came to our house."

"Beautiful uncle? What beautiful uncle?" David narrowed his eyes, feeling bad.

"Uncle, what's your name?"

Faintly heard the other party reply, "Tell your father, I am Anthony."

David's heart suddenly cooled down. Shouldn't Anthony participate in the auction in Moscow?How could it be in New York?

No, I am too stupid!Who said that Anthony must stay at the auction site in person?

At this moment, Diana's nanny picked up the phone.

"Sir, please come back quickly...these people seem to have guns..."

David gritted his teeth, "I'll go back right away!"

At this time, Anthony's voice came from the phone.

"Baby, don't bring irrelevant people. I hate the police. Recently, Interpol has been staring at me, making my food tasteless."

"Don't touch my daughter!" For the first time, David felt that he was such a jerk that he left Diana alone at home.

"I just want to touch you." Anthony stretched his voice.

David hung up the phone and called Oliwen's cell phone, but the other party's phone couldn't be connected.

He gritted his teeth and drove back to the villa.

When opening the door, his fingers trembled, and when he raised his head, he saw the man sitting on the sofa.

The other party smiled, holding a wine glass between his fingers, it seemed that he completely regarded this villa as his own home.

David stood not far away and stared at him, "Where's my daughter?"

"She's already asleep." Anthony patted the place next to him, "Why don't you come and have a drink with me?"

"I'm not as elegant as that."

"Well." Anthony expressed his understanding of David's mood.

"Anthony, if you have any opinion on me, I ask you to kill me with a single shot, or else cut off my finger and let me eat it myself like you would deal with a subordinate who betrayed you!"

"Have you seen that video? No wonder you always hate me so much." Anthony looked a little lonely, "But I don't have any opinion on you. I just want you to come with me."

"Yes, so you came to my house now and threatened me with my daughter?" David glared. He sometimes felt that he was unlucky. If he didn't know Olivier or Anthony, he might be helping Mrs. Louis run the gallery and laundering. Knowing his identity as a liar, live happily!

"I like you, David." Anthony said carefully.

"I like you too." David imitated Anthony's tone and said, "How is it? Are you moved?"

The other party sighed, "Can you tell me what makes you always not take my words as sincerity?"

"What do you say?"

"Because of my identity? Olivier? How much better is Kane than me? Or is it because that video makes you think I'm tyrannical? If I didn't behave cruelly, I would have ceased to exist in this world long ago." Anthony watched To David, just as David has countless questions about Olivier, Anthony is also thinking.

"Because..." David lowered his eyes, regardless of whether Anthony was sincere or not, "I...don't know."

"Because you are rejecting me with disbelief. Being away from me makes you feel safe. You are afraid that I will destroy everything you have, just like you have Olivier's love now, and you are afraid that if you trust me, you will lose him."

"...No, Anthony." David chuckled, "I don't believe you because I fell in love with Olivier before I met you. I just want to keep going on this road, so I don't You need to believe in someone else's love."

"Then I'll destroy your path." Anthony's voice became cold.

"What do you mean?" David had a bad feeling in his heart.

"What do you think?" The red wine in the glass slid across the graceful lines with the movement of Anthony's wrist.

"...What are you going to do to Olivier?"

"You can't protect yourself anymore, do you still have extra thoughts to think about him?"

At this moment, there was a commotion upstairs, and David thought something happened to Diana, so he rushed up desperately.

Just as he was about to open the door, Anthony behind him strangled him and put a pistol on his head.

"Anthony! What are you going to do!" Although it was not the first time that the opponent's gun was held against him, David was still terrified.

"Don't worry, baby, my gun is of good quality, just like my little brother, and it will never go off." Anthony squeezed David's ear, and then unlocked the door.

Several guns were pointed at them. There were several men standing in front of Diana's bed. The window was open. It seemed that they came in through the window.

David gasped, and was relieved when he saw Lydia coming out dressed like a boy.

"Aha, isn't this Miss Lydia of the Walerans family? Nice to meet you!"

Lydia raised the gun without any hesitation, and her eyes were decisive beyond her age, "If my grandfather finds out that you are making trouble at Oliwen's house, don't blame our Walren's family for turning their backs on you!"

"This is indeed a threat." Anthony looked like he was thinking, "but I care about David more than the profits in Europe. And your grandfather will not turn against me because of your grandson's little lover. You You can go back and try."

Lydia snorted coldly, and she knew in her heart that Raymond valued the family very much, and David was just an outsider after all.The best way is to never let him be taken away.

"Actually, I should have expected that Olivier would not be able to leave David here like this." Anthony pulled David back step by step, "I can leave Diana to you, but Lydia, you just need to step forward One step, and I'll shoot."

"You can't shoot," Lydia said in a steady voice.

"Oh? Did Olivier tell you that even if I pointed a gun at David's head, I wouldn't actually shoot him?" Anthony laughed, "By the way, on the 'Blue Diamond', Olivier just shot David. He stood in front of me and threatened me. Because he knew that I would not shoot and hurt David. Since that time, I have deeply reflected on it. If I don’t shoot, I will definitely lose.”
