Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets-Chapter 81: Tricked!

The manor had a wide view, with several cars parked at the entrance.

At a glance, many people were in groups, searching for something here and there.

There was no need to guess that these people were definitely here to search for treasure!

Sean Knight yelled "Fuck" and then made a call to George:

"Mr. George, I’ve arrived at Joseph’s manor."

"Very good, Sean, you’re very efficient! I should suggest those treasure hunters learn from you!"

"But this is a scam!" Sean said indignantly, "Didn’t you say that very few people knew about this hidden treasure information? When I arrived here, I found treasure hunters everywhere in the manor!"

George awkwardly laughed on the other side:

"Is that so? Sean, the clue I got has a credibility guarantee—there must be some misunderstanding here..."

"No misunderstanding!" Sean could almost guess the truth behind it, "I’ve already inquired, this is almost a semi-public treasure information! It’s just that you used the information gap to deceive me..."

"No, no, no!" As soon as George heard Sean say this, he panicked, "Sean, you have to believe me! I definitely didn’t lie to you... How about this, I can’t do anything about the manor’s share, but I’ll reduce my commission to 10%..."

Hearing him say this, Sean knew that the truth was exactly what he had guessed!

This wasn’t George’s friend at all, it was George himself who got the information and then fooled him!

"George, you’ve lost my trust!" Sean said indignantly and hung up the phone.

Jason Caldwell cautiously asked:

"Bosuns Evans, do we still go in?"

"Of course," Sean’s expression returned to normal, "since we came for treasure hunting, we naturally have to go in."

"But there are so many people..." Jason pointed to the cars, then pointed to the people, hesitating to speak.

"Since there are so many cars and people here, it means that the treasure in this place hasn’t been taken away."

Sean explained while walking inside: "In that case, we still have a chance!"

Jason had a lot of confidence in Sean, so he carried his tools and followed him inside.

As soon as they entered the front gate, someone stopped them:

"Did someone introduce you or are you here by reputation? Have you got any experience with treasure hunting?" The person in charge of registration was a middle-aged man with a big belly and a somewhat messy beard, "Do you know the rules?"

"Someone introduced us, but we don’t know the rules." Sean said honestly, "It was George who introduced us."

"Old George? I heard that guy finally dug up some treasure a few days ago?" The middle-aged man actually knew George, "Hasn’t he left yet?"

"No." Sean remained expressionless, not saying that he was the one who dug up the treasure.

"That’s fine. Since it was Old George who introduced you, it’ll be simple." The middle-aged man took out a piece of paper and a pen and put them on the table. "Take a close look, then sign it. You have eight hours of treasure hunting time before the sun sets.

If you find a treasure, Joseph’s family will have 40% ownership; If you don’t find any treasure, you won’t have anything.

Since it was Old George who introduced you, you don’t need to pay the 500 dollar deposit."

There was a deposit!

Old George was still a bit useful!

Sean looked over and asked:

"Will the deposit be refunded to those who don’t find any treasure?"

"Of course not." The middle-aged man looked at Sean strangely, "The deposit is there to give you a chance to participate, and if a treasure is truly found, Joseph’s family will suffer losses."

Alright, that’s understandable.

Sean looked at the paper, which stated that they could search for treasures anywhere in the manor. Once they had determined a digging spot, they could apply for excavation.

Various tools, including excavators, could be rented in the manor.

If a treasure was found, Joseph’s family would take 40%, as George had said. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

After signing, Sean and Jason walked in together.

They now had a map in their hands.

The manor wasn’t very large, about 50 acres. The main building was a two-story villa.

Although the white man had just mentioned that this main building had already been searched by Joseph’s family and treasure hunters, Sean and Jason decided to check out the main building first.

The main building was quite old and didn’t seem to be well-maintained.

Joseph’s family didn’t live here. There were only two hired workers guarding the place. Sean and Jason were accompanied by them as they inspected the main building.

As they moved along, Sean Knight found out that several groups of treasure hunters came here every week. The idea to open up this place was conceived three years ago by Harry Joseph, Joseph’s grandson.

No doubt about it, it was a great idea that earned the Joseph family an income of several hundred thousand dollars over three years.

Sean also secretly admired Harry’s idea. It’s uncertain whether the total value of the treasure was worth several hundred thousand dollars, but now they had made back their investment just from the deposits!

While taking a look around, Sean found that there were no problems with the main building. There were no hidden rooms or partitions, and there wasn’t anything hidden in the attic.

In front of the main building was a grove of trees, and beyond that was farmland. This small manor was purely agricultural, with no cattle or other livestock.

Sean came out of the main building, somewhat disappointed, rubbing his eyes. Just now, he had been using Sky Eye for quite some time.

Although it is now version 2.0 of Sky Eye, it couldn’t withstand such a long consumption!

It seemed that when he returned, he would need to absorb the remaining energy from the jadeite and find more quality jadeite.

At that moment, Sean unconsciously activated Sky Eye, and then felt a flash of gold before his eyes.

Huh?

Before Sean could take a closer look, he heard people talking in the courtyard:

"This place has the highest probability, let’s start looking here!"

Sean looked up and saw a man and a woman coming their way.

Both of them were dressed as cowboys, but it was obvious that it was just a disguise, not that they were real cowboys.

When they saw Sean and Jason, the two exchanged glances, showing a mocking expression.

Sean was a bit puzzled, what did that mean? Did they think it was funny that they hadn’t found anything?

Without saying anything, the two called for the workers and headed into the main building, demonstrating their professionalism as they went:

"This building has a history of several decades, and this type of architecture often has hidden basements. We’ll start from the first floor..."

Sean smiled, rubbed his brow, looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, led Jason to a big tree, where they quickly started digging with their iron shovels!

In just three minutes, a half-meter-deep hole was dug, and Sean quickly took out a box from it, opened it, and removed two irregular gold bricks and an oil-paper-wrapped notebook.

Sean jumped out, lowered his voice to the stunned Jason:

"Quick, fill the hole!"

It took Jason a moment to react. He quickly joined Sean, and together they filled the hole and compacted it.

Sean had already put the two one-kilogram gold bricks in his backpack, and while walking outside, opened the oil-paper wrap and began to read the notebook!

After just a few glances, Sean showed an ecstatic expression!

It was worth it!
