Chapter 1360: Chapter 666: Stillness Breeds Movement: Guest Appearance with the Diggers_3

The first young man couldn’t help but argue loudly, "We didn’t lie, it’s just that no one has found that warehouse yet!"

"Do you believe that yourself?" the half-breed mocked, "If it really exists, why don’t you dig it out yourselves?"

At this point, he ignored the young man and walked up to Sean Knight, smiling and extending his hand:

"Hello, my name is Sedding, and like you, I was deceived into coming here. Luckily, I bought an authentic Soviet Army map from World War II from those diggers.

This 1:50,000 scale map shows the military deployments of the Soviet and German sides at that time, including the logistics warehouse and the equipment warehouse."

"I’m looking for a reliable partner to excavate this relic with me. I wonder if you, friends from China, would be interested? If so, we can discuss the details, such as how to divide the findings afterward—"

"Sorry, I won’t cooperate with you," Sean Knight suddenly spoke up, interrupting him.

Sedding thought he had already persuaded Sean and his team and was about to use his eloquence to persuade them to invest and participate. However, Sean saw through his scheme immediately!

Under the scrutiny of the Sky Eye, Sedding’s calculations were exposed!

"Compared to your cunning, I appreciate his honesty more," Sean commented on Sedding before turning to the young man:

"What’s your name? How do you plan to guide us? What are your advantages in guiding us? What kind of reward do you expect?"

"My name is Sergei. I was born and raised here, went to university in Northeast China, and then came back to work in the small town.

I’m quite familiar with the nearby terrain and also know the prices of various specialties... My fee is simple, one hundred RMB a day."

The price was really not high.

"Alright, you’re hired," Sean Knight nodded. Although there was a Russian veteran in the team who spoke Russian, honestly, having a local would be much more convenient.

"However, let me clarify in advance that if we don’t find anything today, our employment relationship will only last for one day—of course, if you are willing to go with us to other places, then the employment can be extended."

"Alright, alright!" Sergei was genuinely pleased. The RMB was still quite strong in Russia, where its purchasing power was pretty good.

Since Sean had made his decision, Douglas Cooper immediately said coldly to Sedding:

"You can leave now! Stop trying to peddle your laughable scam. In the eyes of our boss, you’re just a pathetic clown performing!"

Douglas’s words were truly heart-stabbing and hurtful!

In the moment he heard these words, a flash of resentment passed through Sedding’s eyes, but he masked it well.

He then said:

"Unfortunately, I have a great admiration for Chinese culture and sincerely hoped to explore the unknown here with the Chinese people.

I don’t know what kind of prejudice has made you distrust me, but no matter, after some time, you will know whether what I said was true or false. In any case, good luck..."

With that, Sedding shrugged nonchalantly and turned to leave.

He’d only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped, slapped his forehead, and turned around saying:

"Oh! I forgot. I still have some good stuff that I collected this time in my car. Not sure if you need it?"

Without waiting for Sean and his team to respond, he immediately went over to his pickup truck, pulled out a bag, and walked towards them while extracting something from the bag, extending his arm to show it to them.

A handful of gold coins!

This suddenly surprised the others!

Douglas glanced at the gold coins, then at Sean.

"Authentic Gold coins from the era of Catherine the Great, how about it? One thousand dollars each, isn’t that cheap?"

Sedding was pleased with their expression. Ah, looking down on me?

Sean glanced at the coins in his hand and then at the bag—using the Sky Eye—before saying calmly:

"One thousand dollars? Fine. How many do you have in your hand?"

"In my hand..." Sedding counted, then said, "Five in my hand, and more than seventy in the bag..."

Sean walked over, pulled out a stack of US dollars, and handed it over. Sedding instinctively took it, and Sean casually took the five coins from his hand:

"The deal is done, you can go now."

"You this..." Sedding looked at the US Dollars in his hand then at his now empty right hand. He panicked and chased after Sean, crying out:

"I still have more than seventy in this bag..."

"Keep those to scam... no, sell to others," Sean said, tossing the coins in his hand.

"I only want these five!"

Sedding was not happy—these five were the real ones, while those in the bag were fakes, albeit also made of gold, but they were later replicas.

The five genuine coins in Sean’s hand were worth at least five thousand US dollars each in the market!

Even then, it was apparent there was a problem. Douglas and his team laughed as they stepped in front of Sean:

"The transaction is complete, you’ve taken the money, and it was a deal made willingly. Stop lingering here. If you don’t leave, we won’t be polite!"

The expressions of the other team members were severe. Seeing this, Sedding knew he’d suffer a loss in silence, glanced at Sean, and turned to leave.

"Alright, let’s take a tour in the jungle and see what’s out there," Sean said, tossing the gold coins in his hand, "A small profit, earned tens of thousands—a good omen, let’s see what’s coming next!"
