Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets
Chapter 1378 - 672

Chapter 1378: 672

There were indeed a lot of things, many were well-preserved, but extracting them completely would be a huge hassle.

Digging directly from the soil meant a substantial amount of work!

As Sean Knight was pondering over this, Sergei hurriedly came over.

He had just delivered the cooking class’s dishes to Petrov and had hurried over after learning some news to report to Sean Knight.

"You’re saying the Diggers are raiding the warehouse left by Andrew?" Sean Knight’s expression was a bit odd.

"Yes. Mayor Petrov asked me to inquire—since Andrew is no longer here, do you want to take back that warehouse? If so, he can intervene."

"No, no." Sean Knight quickly waved his hand. Why bother with that when all the good stuff had already been taken by himself? With the Diggers distracted, this was a perfect opportunity.

However, Sean Knight raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"I think, since Andrew has ’disappeared’, that warehouse should now belong to Small Town, right?

After all, this land is within Small Town. So my suggestion to Mayor Petrov is to fully reclaim that warehouse. Even if we lack the manpower and expertise, we can simply subcontract it out to the Diggers."

"Right!" Sergei didn’t expect Sean Knight to come up with this idea, and he was overjoyed, "In that case... the town can definitely charge a fee... I’ll go back right now!"

After Sergei left, Sean Knight continued wandering around, with Viola following closely behind him.

"You really don’t need to follow me," Sean Knight said to Viola. "We don’t need a translator here at the moment."

"No, this is my duty." Viola’s face showed a slight guilt, clearly aware that she had misunderstood Sean Knight but found it hard to explain.

Sean Knight didn’t mind. Compared to Viola, he was more interested in Sergei. Of course, having such a decorative beauty around was pleasing to the eye, so he didn’t say more.

It looked nice, didn’t it?

The team members spread out, some having already dug directly above the warehouse. However, the soil above the warehouse was too heavy, and they made no progress.

It was rather those with metal detectors who kept finding targets, so after digging above the warehouse yielded nothing, the team members quickly moved to other locations.

Sean Knight was actually quite curious about this rather primitive treasure hunt. He occasionally went to see team members slowly digging out underground bayonets, broken guns, and shell boxes.

The team members were at least professional; some shells still had detonators, naturally needing to be set aside—those things were dangerous!

For some located further away from people, they simply tied a block of TNT and blew them up.

So, it wasn’t unusual for one or two explosions to be heard here from time to time.

Mostly, there were parts from the battlefield, and even some skeletons—these were metal parts detected by the metal detectors, which turned out to be medals on skeletal shelves.

It was somewhat awkward.

Fortunately, the team members weren’t scared, and they reburied the bones, attaining peace once again in the earth.

Until the afternoon, apart from the team members, no one else came nearby; it was quite peaceful.

By evening, Sergei had returned.

He looked very excited.

"Petrov said, thank you for your suggestion!" Sergei was excited, "He took dozens of young men from Small Town, armed them, and went to that warehouse. They took it over for the town and held an auction on site, which brought in over 30,000 dollars for the town!

Additionally, the items dug up by Andrew’s group were sold off in a special auction, earning even more money! Now, the town will have a much better winter! Mayor Petrov specifically said that this money will be used for the repair of public facilities in the town!"

Hearing this, Sean Knight smiled and nodded while Viola was full of surprise!

With so much money coming suddenly into the deteriorating town... wouldn’t the lives of the town’s residents significantly improve?

This was all thanks to a few words from this man!

Viola could see that Sean Knight genuinely didn’t mind. She felt a bit defeated.

Her beauty was acknowledged. In the town, there were plenty of people who wanted to befriend her, many indeed.

If she hadn’t been so focused on her goals, she might have given herself away long ago, and her fate would likely have been similar to those women on Lev’s tractor.

Sergei also brought some local specialties from the town, but it was just Russian bread, pickled fish, and the like. Since there weren’t many vegetables to begin with, and they couldn’t even fulfill their own needs, there was only a little brought.

"The mayor said this is a little gesture from the town. He also told you not to worry. You can dig here as long as you want; our town will always support you firmly!"

Sean Knight laughed.

There, the effect was seen!

This was a vast battlefield. Though it wasn’t very famous in historical records, the actual combat area spanned dozens of square kilometers.

Both sides had set up logistics equipment warehouses, which already indicated that the war had lasted a long time.

If Sean Knight had been a normal Digger, he truly might have dug here longer.

"Viola, the mayor mentioned you too. He said that during this time, just follow Mr. Knight closely and be a good translator. Your family will receive a sum of money from the mayor, which is what the town pays for employing you."

Viola hadn’t expected to be included!

"Alright, I’ve done what I came for," Sergei smiled and then went to unload the supplies.

"Don’t worry, I’ll pay your wages as agreed," Sean Knight said to Viola. "You don’t need to feel pressured. It’s two separate things."

After that, Sean Knight paid no more attention to Viola; he was thinking about whether he should use the same method as before to explore inside the warehouse at night?

He had nothing else to do anyway.

And he was truly covetous of those crates of rifles buried in the soil.

That settled it then!

Sean Knight had dinner with the team members, then slipped into his tent.

There was no light, not many electronic devices; at night, the team members set up guard shifts. Most were either in their tents dealing with the items they had dug up or playing on their mobile phones, sending videos and the like.

Sean Knight heard footsteps outside his tent.

It was Viola.
