The older man said,"It's been said that there are great ancient Greek treasures hidden in the engraved text on the Pluto."
He looked at Philip. "Don't you want to get your hands on those treasures?"
The taller man had a far-away look.
"Of course I want to get my hands on them!"
His voice sounded dreamy. "Who can refuse such a temptation?"
Then his tone changed to match the scary smile on his lips. "But has anyone ever found these treasures since ancient times?" he inquired.
"I've also learned that people seeking for treasures almost always end up cursed. But I am not as stupid as they are!"
He puffed in pride. "I need to be certain in whatever I do."
The white-haired man only smiled but said nothing. Philip was greedy, and he always knew what he wanted and would stop at nothing to get it. It was no wonder he had made a big splash when it came to secret trading.
"Now, what are you going to do with the girl?" he pointed at Molly.
Philip glanced at the unconscious Molly and didn't answer. She wasn't stunningly beautiful, but she did have alabaster skin and long eyelashes that probably hid a pair of beautiful eyes. And when he stared at her, it felt like there was something mysterious surrounding her. It was like something waiting to be explored in her body, akin to the Pluto.
As he pondered this, Philip gently rubbed the Pluto with his fingers and coldly said,"Why don't we use her to show the Pluto at tonight's auction?"
The older man was taken aback.
"But, will she be obedient?" he worried.
