Chapter 1390: Chapter 676: That’s Not How Business Is Done_3

Of course, he didn’t mind digging a pit for those people either.

The work in the afternoon ended earlier since most of the firearms had already been excavated.

There was still a lot left underneath, but most of it was crushed or water-damaged. If there had been time, Sean Knight wouldn’t have minded letting the team members dig slowly since there wasn’t much else to do.

If those people arrived quickly, then after the valuable items were dug up, Sean planned to hand the rest directly over to the town.

"One must let the locals have some soup if he’s eating meat himself."

That’s a win-win!

To Sean’s surprise, Teluk showed up that afternoon.

The news was reported by Sergei in a phone call.

"Boss, he must be anxious," Douglas Cooper said with a smile, "He must have come to raise the price."

"No," Sean thought about it and said, "My guess, eighty percent sure, is that he came to threaten us. These kinds of people bully the weak but fear the strong, seeming fierce on the outside but weak on the inside."

"You pretending to be weak before must have given him the illusion that he had us figured out. Now that we’ve shaken him off, he’s naturally not pleased."

"Then I know what to do," Douglas smiled, "I only acted so weak before to bluff him. We don’t need that now."

The situation was already set because the person had also made a phone call, stating he had already reached the city, and would arrive in town tomorrow. Since it was Robert who facilitated the connection, upon seeing the photos Douglas had sent over, they straightforwardly brought a big truck to haul the goods!

The deal was solid; Douglas certainly didn’t need to play the sucker anymore.

Teluk was still accompanied by a bodyguard, and a crowd of eager Diggers.

Seeing Douglas, Teluk sternly questioned:

"Without my permission, how could you randomly sell those guns to others?"

"What are you?" Douglas was unabashed, "Just because you say no, it won’t be sold? Do those belong to you? Did you pay? Did I agree?"

Douglas’s barrage of questions left Teluk completely dumbfounded.

Why wasn’t this guy following the usual script?

Douglas had acting skills, so he acted well yesterday.

But he wasn’t one to suffer losses!

Playing suppressed yesterday really did fool Teluk, but it was uncomfortable for Douglas.

Now with this man coming over asking for trouble, how could Douglas not comply?

Teluk quickly recovered, becoming furiously frustrated:

"Didn’t I tell you? I want all these items! All of them! As for the price, didn’t you guys think it was inadequate? Otherwise, I would have paid already!"

"Ha!" Douglas thought this guy was either foolish or shameless to say such a thing!

Just like that joke about changing bowls to get a free meal! (First showing interest in one dish, then changing to another without paying for the eaten one, claiming the exchange covered the cost ...)

He never thought he’d meet such a person in real life!

"Then just roll out!" Douglas didn’t hold back, "The goods are ours; whether to sell or not is our decision.

Since you can’t afford the price, don’t linger here, there are plenty who can! Get out, don’t delay our business!"

Teluk heard that someone had bought a Box of guns from the Chinese, which made him anxious and embarrassed, leading him to speak like this.

Douglas’s rebuke made him even more anxious, but in front of all the Diggers, although he intended to raise his offer and just buy the equipment to avoid prolonged issues,

he couldn’t bear to lose face!

But the others truly didn’t give him any face!

Teluk now regretted not bringing Yvonne along, which made him less passive.

When negotiating prices in business, one really needs someone like Yvonne!

Indeed, Teluk regretted it after returning. At that time, lifted so high by the Diggers and convinced that because Sean and his team were outsiders with no connections, they couldn’t do business.

But he didn’t consider that it’s a seller’s market now. Once the news got out, there would be loads of interested buyers!

Now he could only regret!

Having said his piece, Douglas felt his anger subside considerably, his mind clearer and more at ease, so he turned and walked away without further concern for Teluk.

As Teluk tried to enter, two armed team members straightforwardly stopped him.

A glaring look told him he had no access.

He had no choice but to head back.

As arrogantly as he came, as embarrassingly he left.

In town, Yvonne, realizing the situation, could only shake her head and hope that her people would arrive quickly.

Otherwise, with this trickling sale of a few boxes a day, by the time her people arrived, there wouldn’t be much equipment left.

After nightfall, team members cleaned up by the river, then happily ate their dinner.

Even though it was cold outside, the fair-sized bonfires, coupled with the thrill of their loot, kept the team members from feeling the cold.

This life was far more interesting than staying home and scrolling on mobile phones all day.

As they ate, they talked about the day’s finds, some dug up pistols, others rifles, machine guns, and even steel helmets.

Most were nearly new. Although a few items were spoiled by water and mud, those were the exception.

Some team members found this odd, but since none were archaeologists, they didn’t care too much about it.

Soon, they finished their meal, cleaned up, went on duty according to the duty roster, and then it was time to sleep.

After a long day, snores soon filled the tents.

Sean Knight walked around the campground, knowing this would be the calmest night they had. By tomorrow, there would be bustling activity.

Those hundreds of boxes would soon have a destination.

He didn’t sleep, and neither did Viola, who just followed by his side.

Such a stubborn girl!

Sean didn’t bother with her, and of course, he couldn’t really control her—perhaps thinking that after dividing the money during the day, Viola would be even more diligent.

Early the next day, while eating, Sean heard some noise.

A tractor was coming!
