Chapter 415 Inquiry
Los Angeles, the home of oil tycoon Martin Nathaniel.

Martin Nathaniel is a collector with a penchant for collecting, and he's never spared his money in this regard.As long as it is something he fancy, he will pay for it no matter how much money it is.As a result, the antiques and treasures collected in his home today are enough to open an exhibition hall.

In fact, that is exactly what he did. Holding an exhibition in his spacious living room and inviting people from all walks of life to participate would give him a sense of accomplishment for his collection.

But at today's exhibition, when he moved his eyes to the woman in front of a famous painting on the wall, he couldn't look away no matter what.It was a luxuriously dressed young lady, wearing a white backless evening dress, with slender jade legs looming under the skirt, and a head of jet-black hair hanging softly behind her, her charm revealed an inviolable elegance. It's amazing to go.

He involuntarily approached the lady and chatted up softly: "'Scheveningen Beach', the early works of the famous painter Van Gogh, it took me a lot of effort to get it."

In fact, he was not a person with profound knowledge, but he had a large collection of things, and he deliberately recited a few things in order to show his profound knowledge in front of visitors.

"It's just a copy." The woman did not express surprise at his profound knowledge like other visitors, but said calmly, "The original work was stolen more than ten years ago, and it was not recovered until last year." .It is now housed in the Capodimonte Museum in the southern Italian city of Naples."

Martin smiled slightly: "You know a lot. I just like women with depth."

"But I don't like fake men." She said bluntly, "Mr. Nathaniel, there are indeed a lot of things on display in your hall, and some of them are indeed quite exquisite imitations. Unfortunately, I found that there seemed to be few of them. Authentic."

Martin laughed out loud.

"Excellent, none of this has escaped Miss's eyes." He smiled, "But you may be a little too quick to draw conclusions. I do have some more valuable authentic works, but each of them cost me a lot. It requires little effort and cost, so it is not easy to show it to outsiders. But if the lady doesn’t mind it, you can come to the bedroom with me to have a look, and I guarantee that there will be many rare collections that you can’t imagine.”

"Of course that's good, but since it's a collection that you never show people easily, maybe it's not good?"

Martin said with a smile: "That can't be said. Precious collections should be matched with beautiful people to be meaningful. Miss, your charm is the most suitable. By the way, I don't know what to call you yet."

"Diana Prince." She smiled slightly, and her smile became more alluring. "You can just call me Diana."

So he led Diana through the front hall and along the long corridor for two or three minutes before arriving at his bedroom.There were two burly men wearing sunglasses guarding both sides of the bedroom door, one on the left and the other on the right. Martin went straight to the door, reached out and unlocked the palm print lock and opened the door. He led her into the room very gentlemanly.

Diana entered Martin's bedroom, and sure enough, she saw that the tycoon didn't talk nonsense.There were a large number of rare playthings in this bedroom. Diana thought she had seen enough in this regard, but she was still a little surprised to see the collection here.In terms of one person's ability, it is really not easy to collect so many collections.

What's even more strange is that there seem to be some magical objects in it. Diana can smell a faint smell of magic from some of the ancient collections, which are actually some small-purpose magic tools.

"How?" Martin was a little complacent, obviously very confident in his collection, expecting Diana's approval.

After wandering around these display cabinets twice, Diana smiled slightly and said, "It's really impressive, but I did draw conclusions too early."

After a pause, she asked meaningfully: "But...is that really all there is?"

Martin was taken aback for a moment, then understood.

Indeed, these collectors in the industry have special habits. They like to preserve their favorite collections in a different way from other collections, so as to show their uniqueness.He thought that Diana was obviously also a knowledgeable lady, and what she was referring to was wanting to see his most cherished collection.What he didn't know was that although Diana had a deep understanding of these antique cultural relics, how did she know about the collection habits of these rich people?She just glanced at it and couldn't find the piece she wanted, so she asked this question.

Martin mysteriously took out an exquisitely shaped key, went to the bedside of the bedroom, and opened the safe next to the bed.Diana watched his movements closely, and really saw that he pulled out a strangely shaped stone from it, which was quite similar to the two she had found earlier.

"I have collected so many collections, but this is the only one I dug out myself." Martin proudly said, "Although I can't say why, my intuition told me at the time that it was extraordinary. I have never had anyone evaluate it. price, but I think it's the most valuable of all my collections."

"That proves that you may indeed be quite talented in appraising treasures." A voice suddenly sounded from the room, "It's a pity that we may have to borrow it."

Eric appeared in the middle of the room like a ghost at some time, startling Martin.He hurriedly asked, "Who are you? How did you get in!?"

"We are the Justice League, Mr. Nathaniel." Diana asked seriously, "We have something important to do, and we need you to borrow that stone."

Martin's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "Justice League? Are you a member of the Justice League? Sorry, I don't remember when I invited you. You are breaking into a private house. I'm afraid I have to ask you out-security guards!"

Diana took a step, grabbed his wrist, snatched the stone without saying a word, and said, "I'm sorry first, Mr. Nathaniel, but the situation is urgent."

Before she finished speaking, there was a loud "bang" from the bedroom door.The solid door panel slammed down on the floor under an external force, and the black-clothed bodyguard stepped in quickly.

It was just a bodyguard, and Eric didn't take him seriously at all.He wasn't even wearing armor, and he stretched his hand towards the bodyguard's neck like lightning, intending to stop the opponent with one move.

But what he never expected was that the bodyguard moved faster than him.The black-clothed bodyguard staggered away from his grasp, one hand dexterously caught Eric's outstretched wrist, and his arm wrapped around Eric's arm in a very strange way, and he immediately stretched out his body with force. He fell over his shoulder, slamming Eric through the door and into the hallway outside.

Seeing Eric being thrown out with one move, Diana was also startled, she left Martin and flew towards the bodyguard for the time being.

And even more unexpectedly, before Diana rushed in front of the other party, a golden light illuminated the entire room, like crescent-shaped lightning passing through the room consistently.Diana didn't have time to see anything clearly, she was suddenly sent flying upside down, smashed the wall outside the room, and fell into the yard outside.

At this moment, the black-clothed bodyguard had a dazzling golden sword in his hand, and a terrifying vortex of energy lingered around him, like lightning and thunder.The raging whirlwind tore through the black suit like a blade, and he simply tore off his coat and digital mask with one hand, revealing the uniform and two-color mask, and he turned out to be the ultimate mercenary—death knell!
