Chapter 1159: Chapter 599 Who is the cicada, and who is the yellow sparrow?_2

Hearing this tone, Sean Knight felt a faint disdain.

"No, I started from scratch," Sean Knight said calmly, "I’m a Treasure Hunter."

The man nodded, withdrawing that bit of disdain. Anyone who could make it on their own should at the very least not be looked down upon, after all.

"Sorry, many of the young, wealthy people I’ve dealt with from your area either have parents who are officials or merchants," the gentleman confessed, an unusual lack of arrogance in his voice, even offering an explanation, "You’re impressive. So, what’s your take on the current situation?"

"I own an oil field," Sean Knight didn’t hide it, "So, I think the current situation is a good thing for me."

"All right. You really are different from the others." The gentleman nodded, "You’ll be more successful—my name is Harrison Denver, a friend of this manor’s master. It’s a pleasure to meet a young man like you.

Would you care to join a game?"

"It would be an honor," Sean Knight nodded and took a seat that was offered to him by someone else.

He had no idea that this Harrison was actually the backstage mastermind behind the affair he was involved in.

This invitation was in itself an evaluation of Sean Knight.

After all, with over 2,000 cultural relics, whose value was immeasurable, they would eliminate any potential threat.

"You’re a Treasure Hunter, so what do you think about the museum theft a while ago?" Harrison casually asked, card in hand.

"All I can say is that their security measures were terrible," Sean Knight replied with a seemingly dejected flick of his cards, having just now pretended to be a newbie and lost a game. A beaming smile was the attitude a youth should display.

"As a Treasure Hunter, didn’t you think of getting those relics?" Harrison asked pointedly.

"Of course, I did!" Sean Knight said frankly, "With over 2,000 relics, even if I got just one-tenth, I’d be set for life and could retire! Unfortunately, there’s basically no point in thinking about it.

By the time the news got out, those items were probably already scattered around the world."

"So, if I point you to an opportunity, would you dare take it?" Harrison revealed his intention.

Sean Knight was always an unstable factor. At this moment, Harrison decided if he was unstable outside the circle, then he should be drawn into the circle!

In his own line of sight, surely he wouldn’t stir up any more trouble?

And besides, this could set up for something in the future!

"What opportunity?" Sean Knight’s expression changed, a mix of curiosity and excitement in his voice.

"My friend is organizing an auction," Harrison observed Sean Knight’s expression while speaking, "There will be antiques from around the world in large quantities..."

Although he didn’t state it outright, his implication was clear enough.

"Really?" Sean Knight’s expression instantly lit up with excitement, "What about the prices? Might they be very high?"

"Since there is a large volume," Harrison emphasized the words "large volume" before continuing, "and because the original owners of the antiques don’t want the affair to be widely known, the prices won’t be too high... and I just happen to have a spot..."

"Then why not participate yourself?" Sean Knight instantly understood the man’s meaning; this was baiting!

"No," Harrison shook his head, "I prefer playing cards with friends rather than dealing with antiques, like with young people like you. When I’m with you, I feel younger myself."

"That’s wonderful; I’d like to have that spot..." Sean Knight came straight to the point, "What would it cost me?"

"That farmhouse," Harrison pointed in the direction of Sean Knight’s farmhouse and continued, "Of course, no need to do the trade now. After the auction, if you feel you’ve made enough, then you can transfer the farmhouse to me.

I’ve wanted to buy that farmhouse for a while, but the previous owner and I had a bit of a misunderstanding, so... you understand."

Sean Knight, of course, knew this was nonsense. The farmhouse had been on the market for half a year with no buyers; Harrison’s excuse was just playing the fool.

"I greatly appreciate it!" Sean Knight’s face was full of excitement, "I will fulfill my promise when the time comes!"

Harrison considered Sean Knight more favorably, but of course, that didn’t prevent him from planning to trick Sean Knight.

Drawing Sean Knight into the game, as long as he secured some items at the auction, then Harrison could go ahead with his next plan!

Sean Knight left with the password token.

He knew the next auction would take place in three days.

Sean Knight returned to the farmhouse with Elijah Hastings.

Meanwhile, Harrison departed from the manor under the cover of night, headed back to London.

He was unaware that in the night sky, a long-endurance drone was closely following his car.

Inside the car, Harrison’s nephew, Will, the young man who had nearly come to blows with Sean Knight over a quarrel at the party earlier, asked in confusion:

"Uncle, why did you bring that Sean into the fold? Is he very wealthy?"

Will didn’t understand Sean Knight, and he had some reservations about his uncle’s favorable view of him.

"This Sean is not just ordinarily wealthy," Harrison turned to glance at his nephew, somewhat resignedly. He had no son and wanted to groom his nephew as his successor. Unfortunately, while his nephew had a talent for dealing with beautiful girls, his ability to read people and conduct business was quite lacking.
