Dangerous Aesthetics

"That's none of my business." Olivan frowned.

"Even if it's not your business, but what about David's matter? I took Diana from Anthony's hands, and I helped you take David back in the Winter Palace in Moscow! Don't you think this kind of favor you Should I give it back?"

Olivan closed his eyes and hung up the phone.

"What the hell happened!" David asked, tugging at Olivan's shoulder, "I'm not weak! I don't need you to hold it in your hand and stick it to your heart like protecting a fragile object!"

"I can't put you in any danger, this is not New York." Olivan wanted to hug him, but David waved his hand away.

"Olivan, do you know that when I first saw you, I hated you and envied you, because you looked mature and knowledgeable! I admired you but I was afraid that you would know my thoughts, so I chose Leave you! I don't want to stand in a certain place and look up at you all the time, I want to reach the same height as you, even if in the end I will really be melted by the heat of the sun... I want to enter your world, no matter it is like Brahma Gao’s paintings are as gorgeous and wild as they are, or are they like bottomless cliffs...Let me be with you, let me be by your side, okay?"

Olivan looked into David's eyes, and there was a firmness that Olivan felt was strange but familiar.

"Okay, I'll take you there. But you have to remember, among all of us, the only person who can hold Anthony back is you. If you also compromise with him, then we will lose." Olivan was serious say.

"I remember."

"Remembering is not enough, this is your promise to me." Olivier took David's hand and walked out the door.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Waleran's house.

Looking up and seeing the study room whose windows had been blown out, David frowned.

"Are you scared?" Olivan smiled slightly. If it was in the past, the corners of his mouth would still be taunting.

"No." David came to the vault of Waleran's house with Olivan firmly.

Time was running out and they had to come up with transaction records right away.

Olivan's fingerprints and passwords have been confirmed, and when David followed him in, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

This vault houses masterpieces by Vermeer, Dali, Van Gogh, Cézanne, Raphael, etc., but David knows by feeling that they are all imitations of Olivier.

"There are so many?" David whistled, "Olivan, you can open a Louvre."

Olivan snorted softly, "If these paintings contain bombs, I don't know if they can still be used to open your Louvre."

David's heart sank again, "Anthony definitely did it on purpose. Why didn't he put bombs in the other things he gave to Raymond, but put them in your copy?"

Olivan suddenly turned his head and kissed David's lips.

"He can drop a bomb anywhere in the world. It doesn't matter if he blows up the Louvre or the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, because he won't put a bomb on you."

David was stunned for a moment. In the past, he might have thought what Olivan said was ridiculous. How could he be so important to Anthony.However, he now believed that Anthony was real...not going to hurt himself.

Oliwen entered the password again, took out a safe from a drawer, and brought it to David, "Remember what I told you."

"Never compromise with Anthony."

David carried the box and walked to the top floor of Waleran's house.

Walking through the long corridor, people from the Walren family were on the walls. When he walked around a small hall, he saw bodyguards holding guns.

He carried the suitcase and walked straight towards Anthony and the others.

David was wearing a silver-gray suit, with double Windsor knots tied on a striped shirt, carrying a safe, calmly passed through the bodyguards, and came to Lydia's side.

Peros touched his chin, "He is indeed a handsome man, no wonder you put so much effort into getting him, Anthony."

"He's not just a handsome man." Anthony smiled, "Honey, we met again, but I guess with inferiority, you haven't missed me at all these days."

David shrugged his shoulders, "You have improved, Mr. Downer. Not only is it not 'inferiority', but you are very self-aware."

Peros clapped his hands, "Okay, okay, since we have all the things and people we want, can we go?"

"Wait a minute." Anthony raised his chin, "I know Olivan? Kane's usual behavior is to trade fakes for real ones. I want to see what's in the box."

At this time, Oliwen also came behind David. He fiddled with the password on the box, and then entered his fingerprint. After the safe popped open, there was a USB flash drive inside.

"That's right, I want to see if the contents in the flash drive are real." Peros said with concern.

Anthony nodded, "That's right, I don't trust any of the computers here, maybe it was tampered with by Mr. Kane's hacker friend."

Mi Gao walked over, and Olivan reached out to stop him, and brought the computer to David. After inserting the USB flash drive, various forms were displayed. After zooming in, you can see the names of many families, when and what they bought, Where was it shipped and what shell company was used.

Peros smiled, "This thing should be right, and there is no time to imitate it temporarily!"

"Very well, David, then pack your things and go home with me." Anthony laughed.

The corner of David's mouth was also raised on his expressionless face, "Mr. Donner, you seem to have made a mistake? Why do you want me to go wherever you want me to go?"

"What?" Perros frowned, "If you don't come with us, the old guy Raymond will die!"

"What does it matter to me that he's dead? You could punch a hundred holes in his head." David shrugged.

"David..." Lydia looked at him with unbelievable eyes... Then, as if remembering something, she focused on pointing her gun in the direction of Peros and Anthony.

"I can't see when my David became so cold-blooded and ruthless? You are very soft-hearted." Anthony drew his tone, but there was no surprise in his expression, as if everything was still under his control , "It seems that Olivan has led you into trouble."

"Maybe." David waved the box, "This thing is in our hands now, even if you press the bomb in the vault, at most half of the Wallern house will be blown up, for safety's sake, Ou and I Levin decided to leave with the suitcase now."

After speaking, David took Olivan's arm and prepared to leave with him.

"Do you think I can't shoot?" After speaking, there was only a bang, and the bullet hit Raymond's shoulder. The old man let out a muffled grunt, and stretched out his hand to press the place where the bullet passed through.

"Grandpa!" Lydia yelled.

David gasped, and Olivan whispered, "Remember what you promised me."

David, who understood, raised his voice, "Anthony, if I were you, I wouldn't just hit Raymond's arm, but the heart. You can carry a dead body as a shield."

At this point, Peros could no longer hold his breath, "Anthony, stop them immediately! Don't let them take that box away!"

"David—can you really be cruel enough to watch this old man who is over seventy years old just die under the gun?"

Turning around with a smile, David said in a very clear voice: "Anthony, you are also on that road. Today's end for Raymond is your end tomorrow."

"Ah... ah... it doesn't matter if you can't get the box, then let Mr. Raymond? Walren give us a ride." Anthony said in a nonchalant voice.

Peros raised his voice and was very dissatisfied, "What are you talking about! You can get that box! Why give up?"

"Mr. Fan Ximin, haven't you figured it out yet? To them, Raymond's value is not comparable to that box. They can let us go for Raymond, but they will definitely not give us the box for Raymond." Anthony reined in Raymond and slowly left the encirclement of the bodyguards step by step. Everyone could only point their guns at them and watch them retreat step by step.

Just as David and Olivan were about to follow, Peros suddenly rushed to Mi Gao in a frenzy, snatched the bomb's remote control, and pressed it.

Several loud bangs came together, and the whole house trembled.There was a gap where David and Olivier were standing.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Oliwen pulled David away, and just two steps away, the whole ground collapsed. They were originally on the terrace protruding from the fourth floor, and the ground was below.

The moment he fell, David was held tightly by Olivan, who was on the edge of the collapsed floor.

"Olivan!" David was startled. He was dangling in mid-air. If he fell from this height, even if he didn't die, he would be permanently disabled.

There was blood running down Olivan's arm, which should have been his right hand.

"Hold on to me, David!"

At this moment, Peros, who had lost his mind, rushed over and stepped on Olivan's right hand, which was injured by the broken bricks and stones just now. "Give me the box! I tell you to give me the box!"
