Chapter 1380: Chapter 673: Insert an Eye Here_2

Then soon after, Viola came back to report:

"Sergei said that some of them are stationed in the small town, and some are headed your way, boss. They’re not many, just a dozen or so, some are armed. It doesn’t look like they are here for vengeance..."

Sean Knight nodded.

While Viola was talking, Elijah Hastings and Douglas Cooper were present, with Lincoln Harrington and his team on guard outside.

Upon hearing this, Elijah Hastings nodded and said,

"Then they are probably not here to fight. We should be able to relax a bit."

"So, any guesses on what they might be doing here?" Sean Knight asked.

"Could it be that they are... looking for clues about Andrew Petrov from us?" Douglas Cooper speculated, "Think about it, Andrew went everywhere, did so much, I always feel he couldn’t just have that little in assets.

Maybe he had other valuable things that just haven’t been found. But now, those people are coming, probably because they heard Andrew is dead, so they’re looking for what’s left."

"That makes some sense," Sean Knight nodded.

"Of course, it could also be that they had business dealings with Andrew. Now that Andrew is missing, they might see us as his replacements.

At the very least, they might plan to make up for something from us. Of course, it might be that they heard about our ’exploits’ in the town and decided to negotiate in the end."

As absurd as Douglas’s speculation was, it was quite fitting.

However, Viola smirked on the side, somewhat unconvinced.

Clearly, you guys eliminated Andrew and still claim he is missing—honestly, that isn’t sincere at all!

"The logic should probably be as you said," Sean Knight speculated it would be so, but he didn’t believe he had anything worth discussing with them. As for a deal, that was even less likely.

However, face what comes when it comes.

"Keep digging and stay alert," Sean Knight told Elijah Hastings, "Tell Lincoln Harrington about this. Those people should be arriving in about half an hour, we still need to make the necessary preparations."

Elijah Hastings nodded, quickly finished the bread in his hand, and stood up to leave.

"What about me, boss?" Douglas Cooper asked with a grin.

"Since your guess was reasonable, the negotiation with them will be handled by you. Viola will be your translator," Sean Knight said, "I’ll stay out of it."

"Boss, that doesn’t seem right," Douglas Cooper grimaced, "If they bring a big boss, I might not be able to handle the situation!"

"You are a billionaire yourself," Sean Knight said, slightly frustrated, "even if they are richer, at most, they are just a level above you. Maybe not even that..."

Seeing Douglas Cooper still looking doubtful, he couldn’t help but slap him on the back:

"That oil field has shares that belong to you! Think about the crude oil pulled out every day, some of that turns into money in your account immediately—endless resources! What are you afraid of? What’s there to fear?"

Alright, Sean Knight successfully stirred up Douglas Cooper’s pride, as he swung his fist:

"Yeah, what the hell am I scared of! I’m a capable billionaire after all... although it’s been a while since I’ve checked my account, but the facts don’t change!"

He looked at Sean Knight, then complained:

"Boss, it’s really your fault! Think about it, how much are you worth now? In the realm of the world’s top billionaires, many don’t have your kind of cash flow.

Yet look at what you’re doing? Look at what you eat every day? This is why we never even think about a mindset change!"

Well, in the end, he blamed himself.

Sean Knight smiled and said,

"Alright. After we sort this out, I’ll give you a long vacation. From then on, you don’t need to follow us for every operation. Just manage those businesses and learn how to be a top billionaire, how does that sound?"

"No, no, no!" Douglas Cooper immediately gesticulated, apologizing profusely, "Boss, please no! I think it’s great as it is! This is the life I want! That thing you mentioned, I’d probably suffocate in a month...

Alright, I’m going to prepare. Those people will be here soon!"

He ran off in a hurry, as if afraid Sean Knight would actually make him live like a "top billionaire"!

Viola watched the entire exchange, utterly perplexed.

She just couldn’t understand these Chinese people!

If she had that much money, why spend time on these matters? She’d have long since gone to enjoy life!

But was the boss really telling the truth? Do they actually have that much money?

Viola wondered, but Sean Knight didn’t bother to explain. After sending Douglas Cooper off, he considered his major tasks for the day completed. Then he went out to see how the remaining half of the team members were doing with their digging.

Yes, some team members were still digging. Even though they needed to be on alert, Sean Knight didn’t call for full reinforcement; there was no need.

With fewer people, the yield was naturally less, but each team member was genuinely digging with the help of metal detectors, though getting covered in soil and even mud slurry, there were genuine finds.

At that moment, Sean Knight perked up his ears, then saw a group of people emerge from the jungle in the direction of the small town.

About twenty of them, with two being surrounded in the middle, and around them were a dozen or so in uniform, clearly bodyguards.
