Chapter 1209
That night, the charity auction of Yinzhou was held at a private clubhouse.
People who received the invitation were all big shots in Orafield Province.
Ranjeet, who wore a suit, followed Henry. It was funny to see such an expensive suit wrapped
around Ranjeet''s rounded body.
"Brother, the suit gives me a hard time," Ranjeet kept pulling the cor, "The pockets are fake. How
can I put food in them?"
Henry rolled his eyes and said, "So that is what you intend to use the pockets for? Food?"
"Yes," Ranjeet nodded seriously, "If they are waterproof, I can even put soup in them."
"My mistakes," Henry looked apologetic, "I should give you a hat."
"That''s right!" Ranjeet nodded, "Hat can hold a lot of stuff."
Even since they had met the night before, Henry had learned from their interaction that to
communicate with Ranjeet, one couldn''t use the normal logic.
They showed the invitation to the staff, and they
let Henry and Ranjeet in.
Before the auction, there was a cocktail party for people to socialize with each other.
As expected, Ranjeet dived right into the buffet table.
Henry walked around with a ss of wine in his hand. He was trying to eavesdrop on information
about Enkidu Inc.
Enkidu Inc. held a great reputation among people.
Henry targeted a group of young people. They were the offsprings of the rich and powerful families.
Their parents brought them here to experience the charity auction.
Henry walked toward them and lingered about to listen to their conversation.
"Bro, first time here?" A young man looked at Henry.
Henry gave him an embarrassed smile, "Yes, first time here. I don''t really know how the thing works
here."
Knowing that this was Henry had never been here before, the young people all smiled.
Sometimes, people with more experience tended to have a sense of superiority over other people.
Some people enjoyed ttering. They would rather live in a world where all the people thought
highly
of themselves.
When neers showed up, they would look down on the neers."
Henry put on an intimidated smile, "Do you know how the auction works? I''m new and don''t know
the rules."
"Then let me tell you," the young man immediately smiled. He looked at all the girls and said, "That
includes all of you who have been here before. "I''ve attended many Enkidu Inc.''s charity auctions.
I''m telling you, the charity auction is your chance to ingratiate yourselves with the government. It is
a piece of well- known information that the government is supporting Enkidu Inc. behind the curtain.
So the more money you spend here, the government will think more highly of you. You guys are all
businessmen. I believe you all know what I''m saying, right?"
"Of course!"
"It seems that this auction is actually apetition among the patrons."
"No wonder so many people attend. There aren''t so many opportunities to connect with the
government."
Hearing the young man''s word, the other young people all echoed as if they had seen through it all.
Henry did not say anything. The government was actually using the auction to test thepanies''
attitude to Enkidu Inc. artifact excavation business. The one who spent money here was sending a
signal to the government that they wouldn''t be in the way of Enkidu Inc''s business.
Well, the young man just made his theory up so he could pretend that he knew everything.
Henry didn''t care what was going on in those young people''s minds. He was here for the
information.
Listening to their conversation for a while, Henry asked, "Do you know where did Enkidu Inc. get
those artifacts? Thatpany is really something! It is very hard to get a permit from the
government for even the smallest thing. But Enkidu Inc. can just dig wherever they want?"
People all looked at the young man who just answered Henry''s first question, anticipating his
answer. He should know a lot about Enkidu Inc. since he just mentioned that he had attended many
of Enkidu Inc.''s charity auctions.
Feeling the attention, the young man was extremely satisfied. He showed a mysterious expression
and whispered, "Good questions! Of course, I know why Enkidu Inc. could dig up so much good
stuff. It''s just I can''t tell you. Many important people were involved."
Henry did not push. He knew that if someone knew the answer, the person woulde forward.
Even though no one knew the answer, the other young man would definitely tell Henry the answer.
Just as Henry expected, a young woman with short hair immediately said, "Stop teasing us. There
are only us. Tell us already!"
"That''s right. We won''t tell anyone."
The attention made the young man felt very satisfied. He said, "Okay, I''ll tell you. But you can''t tell
other people."
"Don''t worry, we won''t say a word."
"Let me tell you, most of the artifacts excavated by Enkidu Inc. will be given to the government, so
the government acquiesces many of their excavation sites, including the one no one is allowed to
touch. For example, this time..."
The young man paused for dramatic effect. He continued after a few seconds.
"I heard that Enkidu Inc had just excavated the ruins of Lon in the new province. You guys know
Lon, right? I heard that ce is haunted, and some of Enkidu Inc''s people died there. Today''s
stuff on auction is from Lon."
"My god, Lon! How dare they dig that ce up!"
"You can say that again!"
"Enkidu Inc. is too audacious!"
Hearing all these, Henry was sure that Enkidu Inc. had something to do with Alvin League.
Alvin League pulled strings to gain the permit from the Yan Xia government to excavate all the
inheritance.
Henry did not say anything. He was about to leave after inquiring about the information he needed.

Henry just turned around, and a beautiful woman appeared in front of Henry.
She frowned when she saw Henry.
