Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets
Chapter 131 - 130: Where Did These Come From?

Chapter 131: Chapter 130: Where Did These Come From?

Joseph hung up the phone with Sean Knight, and his assistant looked worried as she said:

"Won’t this provoke retaliation from that Chinese guy?"

"Retaliation? Dare he? Does he have that ability? He’s nothing but a yellow-skinned monkey with a green card!"

The female assistant actually knew that Joseph regretted selling his own containers to Sean Knight.

Mainly because she heard that after Sean Knight held a container auction, each container was auctioned for several tens of thousands of US dollars!

How could this be?

Full of regret for his shortsightedness, Joseph immediately shifted the blame onto Sean Knight!

If it weren’t for him coming to buy his containers, those containers should have been auctioned off in his freight yard!

Damn yellow-skinned monkey!

"From now on, our unclaimed containers must not be sold to that yellow-skinned monkey, understand?"

"Understood." The female assistant sighed helplessly, "So, every month we will have more than a dozen unclaimed containers. What should we do?"

"Auction them! We’ll also auction them off!" Seeing that Sean Knight made a fortune from it, Joseph thought it was indeed a way to make money.

Auctioning off 400,000 dollars a day is even more profitable than his own annual earnings!

How could this be?

"And what about the other freight yard owners? Did you tell them not to sell their containers to that Chinese guy?"

The female assistant hurriedly reported:

"The Ryan brothers agreed and said they would do as you said, but Stevenson, Hamilton, and Rhett and a few other freight yard owners said they wouldn’t do that. They would sell to whoever came to buy."

"Damn it!" Joseph was annoyed, "Did you not tell them that the yellow-skinned monkey made 400,000 dollars in just one day?"

"I did, but Stevenson said they would only earn the money they should and not the money that’s not theirs. They would not try to make money from someone else’s business. They just want to be honest freight yard owners. The other freight yard owners had the same opinion."

"Bastards!" Joseph cursed these inflexible fellows, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Stevenson had been in the freight yard business for 30 years, older than him, and he had no way of influencing the old man’s decisions!

Well, he’d just do it himself, and let them envy his success later!

The next day, Joseph was about to auction off the remaining expired containers in his freight yard.

However, as soon as the auction started, a group of policemen came in.

"Everyone stay put! We received a tip that you’ve hidden contraband in your freight yard. Stand against the wall now!"

All the people in the freight yard, including workers, treasure hunters, and the auctioneer, were detained by the police.

Even Joseph was no exception!

While standing against the wall with his hands on his head, Joseph shouted:

"This is a set-up! We have always operated legally here, there isn’t any contraband..."

"Shut up!" A policeman gave him a fierce shove!

At this moment, a worker suddenly broke free from the police’s restraint and rushed towards the entrance!

"Stop! Stop right now or I’ll shoot!"

"Stop!"

Several policemen immediately chased after the worker. Just as he was about to escape, a policeman bent down, aimed his gun, and fired!

"Bang!"

The shot hit the worker’s back. He stumbled forward a few steps and then fell to the ground.

Although he was down, he still tried to crawl forward. The policemen approached and handcuffed him.

By the time they turned their attention to Joseph and his crew, they were even more ruthless.

It could be said that they were really vicious now, unlike their previous intimidating behavior.

Joseph, the Freight Yard Owner, was the one who suffered the most!

By the time he was brought to the Administration Office, which acted as a makeshift interrogation room, Joseph felt like he was falling apart, hurting all over his body!

"Look! Here’s what we found in your freight yard!"

Jospeh’s face went pale as he looked at the small plastic bags filled with powder and crystals on the table.

He was indeed cunning, but he would never dare to do such things!

At least not in his own freight yard!

Could these things...

He glanced up at the leading policeman, his eyes flickering.

"You think we’re framing you? Ha!" The leading Officer Gray sneered, "Not only these, but your escaped worker had them too! We’re not sure if they were hidden by your worker or you were involved, but it happened in your freight yard, so you won’t escape responsibility..."

"It must have been hidden by him! Definitely! Webb always slacks off during work," Joseph weighed the pros and cons and immediately shouted, "I had no idea about this! It must have been his private stash... It’s my fault for not noticing..."

"Anyway, let’s take a trip to the police station!" Gray stood up, "You still have time to call your lawyer, but this is a serious crime, you better think it through..."

"Alright, take them all away!"

From Joseph to his workers, everyone in the freight yard was taken to the police station.

The auction was abandoned as well.

The freight yard was sealed off, and the treasure hunters were furious!

"I’ll never come here again; this place is terrible! I almost threw up from the cop’s torture!"

"These sons of bitches can only bully us!"

Sean Knight was surprised when he received Paul Walker’s call.

"What? You’re saying that when you sent people to investigate, they actually found contraband, and quite a lot of it too?"

"Yeah, at least several kilograms! My men made great contributions this time. They’re all thanking me! I even envy them for making such a great contribution without hurting anyone!"

"Ha, you’re the Director, what’s there to envy? By the way, is the freight yard sealed off?"

"Yes, but it’s temporary. After all, it was discovered to be the worker’s private behavior after questioning and has little to do with Joseph. I can only delay it..."

"That’s fine. I’ve already gotten feedback; those treasure hunters are highly repelled by his freight yard now, so I don’t think he’ll be able to do anything."

"Alright, got it. But this bastard is too arrogant, I have to teach him a lesson about arrogance!"

After hanging up the call, Sean thought for a bit, looked up a number, and dialed it.

"Counselor Neo? I have some news for you. It’s about that... Crystal Ramirez called me. Who am I? That’s not important... Okay, let’s meet."

After everything was settled and the goods were handed over, Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

Before handing over the goods, he estimated their value.

The total market value of these goods was about 20-30 million dollars, at least in China. It would be significantly lower in the Beautiful Country.

However, he never thought of selling these goods, since he had already got gold bars and cash, which was enough for him.

Also, Crystal Ramirez was reportedly being investigated and was most likely to be brought back to China.

While it didn’t benefit Sean, it was enough to make him feel satisfied.

What could a common person like him ask for, right?

Peace of mind is all they need!

As for those who treated their servants like lords, Sean would never hesitate to step on them hard if he had the chance!
