NovelEnglishChapter 1248 Chapter 1248: A strong sense of ambition flashed through Aldwin's eyes. He said, "Check Eaton's schedule and invite him for coffee." "Okay, Mr. Perkins." Aldwin watched as his subordinate left to carry out his order, his mind already moving to the next phase of his plan.
Eaton pulled up to a coffee shop and stepped out of his car. After scanning his surroundings, he strode toward the entrance, his men following closely behind.

He greeted Eaton with a polite smile.
"Mr. Rachford, you're finally here. You look even better since the last twe met.” "Likewise, Mr. Perkins." "Come, please sit down." After exchanging pleasantries, Eaton and Aldwin engaged in casual conversation, carefully skirting around the main topic. Eventually, Aldwin could no longer hold back. He leaned forward slightly and said, “Mr. Rivera, to be honest, there's a reason I invited you here today." After speaking, Aldwin subtly signaled one of his men, who immediately stepped forward, carrying a rectangular box.
"Mr. Rachford, I have always known you like refinement. I unintentionally got this thing when I went to Ytrovia last time. You know, I am a simple man and can't appreciate it. But since we're friends, I want to ask for your opinion." Aldwin motioned for his man to place the box in front of Eaton. The moment he lifted the lid, his eyes were met with a long-lost masterpiece—an exquisite royal treasure that had vanished overseas a century ago.
He looked at Aldwin, and with a measured tone, he mused, "You must have gone to great lengths to acquire such a remarkable piece." Aldwin let out a low chuckle.

You know, when I hold it, I feel nothing. They say a masterpiece needs a worthy beholder. Why don't you take it and appreciate it as it deserves?" "Haha, Mr. Perkins, you must be joking." Lifting his cup, Eaton took a slow sip before speaking again.
"A painting of such global renown, handed tojust like that? Even if with it, I you are willing to part wouldn't dare accept such a gift so casually." Aldwin waved off his concern.
"Mr. Rachford, there's no need for such formalities between us. Given our rapport, this is merely a fitting gift for a true connoisseur. Of course, I cornicely know you for your integrity and loyalty. I only hope that, in the days ahead, you might offer sguidance to me..."
Eaton's gaze lingered on the painting, his expression carefully composed.
