Chapter 1242: Chapter 627: You Said It, but I Didn’t Agree - The Scumbag to the End_2

"Girls nowadays are not the same as when we were young," Douglas sighed. "Life is better, after all."

Elijah Hastings knew what he was implying and gave him a glare when suddenly his eyes lit up:

"The target has arrived!"

A truck drove up to the entrance of the courtyard across the street. The front gate opened from the inside, and the car quickly drove in.

Although the gates were opened and closed swiftly, Elijah still noticed that inside there were two uniformed guards without guns—because firearms are prohibited in Malaysia, unless one has a gun license.

"The items in the car are not light," Douglas said quietly. "Both the driver and the co-driver are very vigilant."

Forty minutes later, the truck came out from inside the gate, but it was noticeably lighter.

Elijah and Douglas exchanged a look, both understanding.

...

In the hotel, Sean Knight watched Lincoln Harrington with an air of indifference.

Lincoln was still trying to persuade Sean:

"I know Mr. Knight made his fortune treasure hunting. You also have a persistent pursuit of Chinese cultural relics. Our Davena family possesses a large quantity of ancient Chinese cultural relics, I wonder if Mr. Knight..."

"Do you know what industries I’m currently involved in?" Sean suddenly asked in return.

"I know some," Lincoln said, not sure of Sean’s intention. She tentatively added, "Energy, real estate, and tourism."

"Right. In fact, I’ve discovered that the profits from these industries are far greater than the painstaking, dangerous treasure hunts. So, treasure hunting has now become a pastime for me.

As for the cultural relics you mentioned, they aren’t really what I’m after. I just see these items as a stepping stone to making money and improving my status. So what you’re talking about, I’m not particularly interested in right now..."

While speaking, his gaze moved up and down over Lincoln, with a hint of aggressiveness.

Lincoln was getting nervous.

She had actually come with the thought of possibly catching Sean Knight, a wealthy catch.

After all, officially, Sean Knight wasn’t married. As long as he wasn’t married, there would be plenty of opportunities!

Even if she couldn’t marry him in the end, it would be good to own a share of his empire like a few of his favorite ladies.

But when Sean truly turned that gaze on her, Lincoln’s ability to play along in such situations seemed to vanish instantly.

"Haha, don’t be afraid," Sean said with a smile as Lincoln looked all at sea: "I’m just assessing your thoughts. There’s no need to force it.

Alright, Miss Lincoln, I’m tired and would like to rest. You can leave now. If you really want to collaborate, you need to consider it thoroughly and come up with an offer that truly appeals to me!"

Lincoln stood up, dazed, and walked out.

Only after Sean closed the door did Lincoln come back to her senses.

What happened just now? Why had she underperformed?

Normally, in such situations, facing such lecherous men, didn’t she always handle herself well and with ease?

What went wrong today?

Naturally, she didn’t know that Sean’s mental strength played a role, limiting her performance.

Sean saw through Lincoln’s vanity and ambitiousness, but he did not need such a girl by his side.

As for using Lincoln to gain information about the Davena family, Sean had no such plans for the time being.

It was too easy to be exposed.

Sean suspected that, even if he did nothing, Lincoln might still get involved after this affair was over.

But that was the price one had to pay for adventuring, wasn’t it?

Although Lincoln was somewhat unwilling, she knew that going back now would only annoy Sean more, so she had no choice but to leave.

After all, Sean and his team were still there; they couldn’t run anywhere.

After Lincoln left, Sean decided it was better not to stay. He had been discovered, so he would move to another place.

After making some minor changes to his face, Sean changed his clothes and left the hotel.

It was evident that the Davena family indeed had significant influence in Malaysia.

In the afternoon, Elijah Hastings, Lincoln Harrington, Douglas Cooper, and the rest eventually returned. Sean asked the other team members to rest and called the three into his room.

"Boss, we’ve gathered quite a bit of information on the courtyard you asked us to monitor," Elijah reported the information he got from Ah Mei and the intelligence he observed to Sean.

"So, there are guards there, but we’re not sure how many," Sean nodded. With the delivery in mind, that place was likely correct.

"We plan to go back tonight to scout it out," Douglas added. "That courtyard is quiet nearby. It will be easier to sneak in at night."

"Then be careful, and pull out immediately if anything seems wrong,"

"Based on the information you provided, we’ve investigated the Davena family’s situation," Elijah continued. "Indeed, as you said, boss, the Davena family is very low-profile here. Without a targeted investigation and intelligence support, it is practically impossible to find out anything.

The Davena family has many businesses in Kuala Lumpur, but they are all managed by proxy managers, with the Davenafamily appearing only in very limited elite circles.

Our current investigation shows that the industries they control include hotels, tourism, luxury goods, etc., making them a hidden wealthy family.

Regarding cultural relics, on the surface, the Davena family seems uninvolved. However, our investigations and intelligence obtained from the local gray market peddlers conclude that the Davenafamily actually care about the cultural relics much more than they let on."
