There was still a lot of time in the morning, so Zhang Jing took the initiative to call Thomas and went straight to the point to talk to him about the scepter of the King of Madrid.
Thomas expressed interest on the phone and said they would meet in person.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jing's expression was not very good. Just now he was a hunter, but in the blink of an eye he became the prey.
Because you ask for help from others, you will definitely be killed severely.
Then again, Zhang Jing would not miss the opportunity to kill others, and Kandra was almost forced to cry.
Bringing Smarties, dog food, and a basket of steamed buns, Zhang Jing immediately set off for Thomas' second estate in Los Angeles, located in Santa Ana.
The distance is a bit far, about two hundred kilometers, and it takes three to four hours to drive. Breakfast has to be done in the car.
The x5 bulletproof vehicle is very quiet and needs some ambient music while driving. Also, because he is accompanied by Smarties, Zhang Jing is not bored.
Passing the Long Beach Peripheral Expressway, he passed by a Greater China Supermarket. He definitely couldn't go empty-handed when visiting. Zhang Jing decided to bring a bottle of wine, so he slowed down and pulled over, and the car drove into the supermarket parking lot.
There are no high-rise buildings nearby, the distance between buildings is relatively wide, and the supermarket parking lot is very large.
Worried about trouble, Smart Dou locked the car. The temperature was about 17 to 18 degrees, neither cold nor hot. The dog was fine in the car for the time being.
When Zhang Jing was about to walk to the supermarket, his eyes were attracted by the back of a woman six meters away.
The woman was wearing a pure blue thin denim top, black trousers, and black women's leather shoes. She had nice long brown hair, fair skin, and looked to be in her twenties from the back. She was carrying a brown handbag.
Perhaps because the outfit is all solid colors, it looks very clean, pure, and very good-looking.
"Is it because you haven't been around women for too long? Are you exhausted?"
After thinking for two seconds, Zhang Jing reopened the car door and whispered to Smart Dou, "You go grab that woman's handbag, and I will save the beauty."
Smarties was in the back row, tilting his head to look at the owner, showing a hint of disdain.
Damn it, the broken dog has become a spirit, "What a fool!"
The dog had to lower its head under the eaves. Smarties quickly jumped out of the car and chased after the woman in blue. He quickly rushed to the front, bit the woman's handbag with a loud sound, and pretended to start pulling.
This scene happened quickly and suddenly. The woman was completely unprepared. She screamed and snatched her handbag from the wild dog that came from nowhere.
Worried about being overtaken by others, Zhang Jing made a brilliant appearance, trotted forward and kicked Smarty Dou in the butt.
Smarties pretended to be very similar. He groaned in pain, ran away in despair, walked around in a circle, and returned to the car.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Looking at the woman's face, Zhang Jing almost forgot to breathe. The woman's back was pure and pure, and her front was even more stunning.
She actually looks eighty-eighth like Audrey Hepburn, a famous actress born in the 1920s. It's like being reborn!
"I'm fine," the woman straightened her messy hair, "Thank you for helping me."
"It doesn't matter," the gentle lady asked for help. Zhang Jing tried his best to get close to her, "My name is Zhang Jing, and God sent me to help you."
"My name is Taylor," the woman said thanks, but always kept her distance, "Thank you for helping me, goodbye."
Taylor gave up on entering the supermarket and headed back to the car.
After watching the woman get into a white Volkswagen and leave, Zhang Jing realized that she was wearing more formal clothes.
Generally speaking, most people dress casually when going out, wearing big pants, white jeans, flip-flops, not taking a shower for three days, etc.
Unfortunately, no contact information was left. Zhang Jing quickly bought a bottle of champagne as a gift, continued driving towards Santa Ana, and arrived at Thomas's residence at 11 noon.
The manor is located in a quiet location amidst the hustle and bustle, and the environment is beautiful. Again, you can doubt the character of the rich, but not their vision.
The mansion is so extravagant that it is inhumane, with fountains and sculptures everywhere, every step of the way creates a scene.
He followed the waiter into the villa's living room. As soon as he entered, Zhang Jing's expression was slightly stunned. Thomas, who was in his sixties, and his girlfriend Ahel, who was in her twenties, were there.
It's not surprising at home that Miss Taylor, whom I just met, is here.
Taylor didn't expect to meet Zhang Jing here either.
"Let me introduce you," Thomas introduced, "this is Miss Taylor Ortiz from Madrid, and Mr. Zhang Jing from Long Country. The reason why we decided to meet you together is because you both want to buy The king's scepter in my hand."
Zhang Jing looked at Taylor Ortiz in surprise, and Taylor also looked at Zhang Jing in surprise. Both of them were surprised.
Simple understanding, Thomas said shamelessly, "For me, the king's scepter is dispensable. The highest bidder gets it. It is best to barter."
Thomas didn't know that Zhang Jing and Taylor had just met an hour ago, so he continued, "I am interested in the minute man made in France and the ancient cross in the Dove Cathedral."
Thomas has never expressed interest in Minuteman, and this is the first time he has shown his true colors.
The cross of Daofansi Cathedral is probably a good thing, but Zhang Jing doesn’t know about it.
Taylor, who looked eighty-eighths like Hepburn, looked at Zhang Jing.
Surprisingly, Taylor made no moves or blinked her eyes. Zhang Jing could actually read her thoughts through her black eyes.
Out of trust in the one-time relationship, Zhang Jing stood up and left the sofa, saying goodbye: "Miss Taylor arrived before me, you guys talk first."
Thomas wanted to see Zhang Jing and Taylor tear each other apart and reap the benefits, but he didn't expect Zhang Jing to quit on his own initiative.
Without drinking tea or eating, Zhang Jing retreated decisively and returned to the parking lot of the Great China Supermarket next to the Long Beach Peripheral Expressway to wait.
An hour passed, then two hours passed, and just when Zhang Jing thought he had been deceived and should not trust strangers, Tyler Ortiz came back.
Locking Smarties in the car, Zhang Jing gently shook hands with Tyler Ortiz in front of the car, "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Zhang Jing, treasure hunter."
"Tyler Ortiz, I work for the Madrid Royal Family."
"Is the job content to recover the antiques scattered by the royal family?" Zhang Jing asked.
Tyler Ortiz nodded in approval and asked Zhang Jing curiously: "Why are you interested in the Madrid royal scepter?"
"I want to exchange the scepter for the treasure map of Alfonso XIII." Zhang Jing did not hide it and revealed his true purpose.
Tyler Ortiz lowered his head and raised his head again after a while, "You have no defense against strangers. Why?"
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Zhang Jing looked into Taylor Ortiz's eyes and asked.
The woman's expression showed a trace of unnaturalness, and she choked back: "There are many people who fall in love with me at first sight."
Zhang Jinghehe, the moment he knew the identity of Tyler Ortiz, he already had a new idea, "I want to exchange another treasure map for the Alfonso XIII treasure map."
Seeing Zhang Jing looking determined to win, Taylor couldn't help but curiously asked, "What treasure map?"
