Thinking of this, I sneered and spoke,

"Victoria, please make it clear to me. It was your male assistant who was blind and ran around in the crowd, knocking over my box. Inside was my mother's belongings, and they were broken!"

But before I could finish my words, she interrupted me impatiently.

"Okay, Ethan, I understand how you feel! I'll pay for whatever's in the box!"

"If it doesn't work, triple it! Consider it my compensation to you!"

Seeing that I didn't say anything, she thought I agreed and continued,

"As for the so-called Legacy Engagement between us, it was just a joke made by our elders a long time ago. Don't take it seriously."

"It's a different era now. What matters is matching up and integrating resources."

As she spoke, she approached me, her tone full of disdain and contempt.

"Look at what you are like now. You are just a clerk in a foreign research institute with a fixed salary."

"Not to mention the two million watch, even the clothes Blake is wearing, you have to save money for several months to afford it, right?"

"Do you think that with your status and family background, you are worthy of me, Victoria? Are you worthy of the position of the male head of the Kingsley Family?"

The surrounding discussions were once again in an uproar.

"What the hell, breaking off the engagement in front of me? This guy is actually Victoria's Legacy Engagement?"

"Oh my god, this is too big a melon. A real-life version of a wealthy man breaking off an engagement? Is it because the man's family is too ordinary?"

"Of course, no wonder Victoria doesn't like it. The difference is too big. The male assistant is wearing a watch worth more than two million. How pitiful!"

Blake stood behind Victoria, his eyes full of pride, provocation, and a hint of gloating.

The Arlington Family and the Kingsley Family are old friends, but they are involved in different fields.

As a confidential agent of NAI, my mother dedicated her entire life to the country and was no less wealthy than the Kingsley Family.

Otherwise, he would not have been awarded the priceless gift, Artemis Lunar Commemorative.

This time I was escorting my mother's belongings back to China with the intention of breaking off the engagement.

But at this moment, Victoria seemed to be extremely disgusted with me, as if she was afraid that I would pester her.

In that case, there is no need for me to protect her face.

Thinking of this, I sneered and slowly raised my head.

"Victoria is right, a watch worth only two million is really not worth mentioning! I'll pay for it!"

Victoria raised her eyebrows, and the expression on Blake's face froze instantly. The people around were even more stunned, thinking that I had been stimulated and had given up.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, I looked past Victoria and landed on Blake.

"Now, let's talk about you, the male assistant, who broke my things! How are you going to compensate me?"

Victoria sneered, her eyes fixed on the ordinary-looking black NASA-grade shockproof transport box at my feet.

"Just this pile of broken porcelain pieces?"

"Ethan, I know that the cancellation of the engagement is a bit of a blow to you, but be realistic, don't make a fuss here, and don't try to blackmail me!"

"Even if your box contains antiques, I can afford to pay for it if it breaks! Just name the amount, take the money, and leave immediately. Don't embarrass yourself here!"

I chuckled.

"Compensation? I'm afraid you can't afford it!"

Victoria seemed to have heard some shocking joke.

"I can't afford it?"

Even the bodyguards and Blake behind her sneered softly.

The people around me shook their heads, thinking that I had gone crazy because of the broken engagement, had completely lost my mind, and was talking nonsense.

"It's over, it's over, this guy is really crazy!"

"Kingsley Global Group! Its market value is hundreds of billions! What did he say? Victoria can't afford to pay?"

"Oh, pitiful. He was broken off in public and couldn't afford to pay for the expensive watch. He must have a mental breakdown. Look at his tattered box. What valuable things can it contain? Antiques worth hundreds of thousands at most? In the eyes of the Kingsley Family, it's nothing!"

Victoria looked disgusted and said coldly,

"Ethan, do you know the market value of Kingsley Global Group? Do you know how much any property owned by Victoria is worth?"

"Don't even mention your little piece of porcelain. Even if there were ten boxes like yours filled with antiques, I would still..."

Before she could finish her words, I took out my cell phone and made a call.

It was a number that had no name stored in it, only a special code.

A few seconds later, the call was connected.

A calm and vicissitudes male voice came,

"Who?"

I had a blank expression on my face, and calmly and clearly read out the unique code engraved on the bottom of the porcelain, which symbolized its supreme identity.

"General Thorne, 'Artemis-9', shattered."

The other end of the line fell into deathly silence. After three full seconds, the steady voice suddenly rose, leaving only shock and unbelievable panic.

"What! What did you say? Artemis-9 broke? How is that possible! Where are you!?"

At this time, Blake sneered with disdain,

"Isn't it just a piece of broken porcelain? Stop trying to scare people with your tricks!"

"I'm still asking the heavens! I'm still asking the earth!"

"If you have the guts, confront me face to face!"

Seeing Blake's ignorant look, I was too lazy to pay attention to her, but instead reported my location as he wished.

"Newport Harbor City International Airport, Terminal 1, Exit A."

The General's voice on the other end of the phone had completely changed, with an almost roaring tone of command.

"Stay where you are, don't move an inch, protect the scene, and no one is allowed to approach that box!"

"Guards, immediately block Newport Harbor City Airport, highest alert!"

"Notify the top security officer at the airport, notify the top experts at the Cultural Heritage Bureau, immediately!"

Then the call was hung up.

But Victoria still didn't believe it.

She looked at me coldly, her eyes full of mockery.

"Ethan, have you acted enough?"

"You'll do anything to blackmail Blake!"

"I knew that my decision to break off the engagement with you was the right one! How could the Arlington Family, a family of scholars, raise such an uneducated son like you!"

Blake stood behind Victoria, his eyes full of pride.

"You really won't cry until you see the coffin. I want to see how you can continue this drama!"

"Now, even if you apologize publicly in the newspaper, it will be useless!"

The people watching were also talking at once, waiting to see me make a fool of myself.

But less than five minutes later, the shrill sound of sirens suddenly rang out from far away.

Not just one car, but a whole fleet.

"Everyone, get out of the way! Nonessential people, move back!"

Accompanied by stern rebukes, a team of guards armed with live ammunition, wearing special combat uniforms and carrying aerospace logos, rushed into the crowd at an alarming speed, instantly surrounding the entire airport.

All the onlookers turned pale and stepped back involuntarily.

Victoria, who was waiting to laugh at me just now, turned pale in an instant.

She stared at me, then looked at the overturned box at my feet, with cold sweat on her forehead.

The smile on Blake's face completely froze, replaced by confusion and fear.

At this moment, he finally realized that he had caused a terrible disaster!
