Chapter 143: Chapter 142: Parting Ways

Both Sean Knight and Brown were delighted to hear this.

There was no need to remain at loggerheads any longer.

Sean Knight called out loudly:

"Martin, I’m over here!"

"Alright, we’re coming right over, has Bosuns Evans arrived yet?"

"He’s here."

The footsteps got closer and closer, Brown signaled his bodyguard to put away his gun

Sean Knight also put his gun away.

By the time Andrew Petrov and Martin arrived, Sean Knight and Brown seemed to be reconciled—at least on the surface.

"Did you really find the treasure?" Martin asked, emerging from the forest in surprise

"Take a look." Sean Knight pointed to the hole, "Mr. Brown and I were just discussing how to divide it up."

Andrew Petrov glanced down in the pit and looked a little disconcerted, but he managed to suppress his emotion and lifted his head to say to Sean Knight:

"Sean, I have to say, you are really lucky, congratulations."

Sean Knight said with a smile:

"Indeed, I’m a newbie in this field, quite amateurish, I just got lucky."

Being a winner, being a little generous towards the loser isn’t a big deal.

Brown said with a forced smile:

"Yeah, Sean does have good luck, but we still need to dig it out to see if it’s a complete treasure."

Andrew Petrov’s eyes lit up upon hearing this:

"Mr. Brown, do you mean ..."

Brown proudly said:

"The treasure left by my ancestors is worth several hundred million dollars, with hundreds of gold and silver items, we need to see if there is that much in this hole. If not, there should be other treasure spots."

"Still nearby?" Andrew Petrov originally thought that he was out of the game and would have to leave with the consolation prize, he didn’t expect to still have a chance, one he definitely wouldn’t miss!

How could 10,000 dollars compare to several million dollars?

Especially seeing the obviously amateur Sean Knight about to win the jackpot, how could he be willing to settle?

"Let’s count them!" Sean Knight had been waiting for the words from Brown. He was the first to jump into the pit and exclaimed:

"Once we clear them out, we will know how much is there."

At this point, Brown knew that preventing Sean Knight from taking things away was unrealistic.

After all, it’s feasible to kill a Sean Knight guy, but it wouldn’t be that easy to kill Andrew and his team.

Brown made a gesture, his four subordinates also jumped down, and began to clear the gold and silver together with Sean Knight.

Treasure recovery is not archaeology, and all the items are gold and silver, with some bronze items occasionally. There is no porcelain, these things are very simple to clean up.

"There are altogether two hundred and fifteen pieces of gold and silver items, including ninety-two gold items and a hundred and twenty-four silver items."

After all the items were taken out, both Sean Knight and Brown’s people went through them one by one, categorizing them.

"Sean, I suggest that we sell these items first and then I distribute the money to you. I also help you handle some of the taxes." Brown’s tone was complicated, he said with a threatening tone that Sean Knight assumed:

"Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy for you to sell them on your own, and you may face investigation..."

"I appreciate Mr. Brown’s concern but I think I’ve got it." Sean Knight firmly said, "I only want thirty percent of the items here. Two hundred and fifteen pieces, I want sixty-four. Twenty-seven gold items, thirty-seven silver items."

Brown saw Sean Knight being so ungrateful, he snorted coldly and didn’t speak anymore.

"Well then, let’s divide it up." Seeing him remain silent, Sean Knight suggested, "About ten pieces per group, and I’ll take three from each. Your people distribute, and I’ll pick them up, is that alright?"

Giving Brown the initiative, a little face-saving, when Brown knew that nothing could change the situation, he nodded.

Martin didn’t know about the previous conflict between them, and now he felt a little pity for Sean Knight again. While they were distributing the gold and silver items, he said to Sean Knight:

"These treasures are certainly not worth several billion dollars, there must be more treasure, Sean, with your luck, you can definitely find more treasures. Why don’t you keep looking?"

Sean Knight looked at Brown, and said with a smile:

"We have a saying in China, ’Contentment brings happiness’. I have already found the treasure and got this wealth, I am satisfied already.

I fear that if I continue like this, I may not be so lucky to enjoy this money!"

Having said that, he watched as Brown’s men distributed the gold and silver items.

Brown did bring some professional people. While they were distributing the gold and silver items, they not only looked at the size and weight, but also their craftsmanship and function, and so on.

When the distribution of the gold and silver items was completed and they were all lined up, the dazzling gold was quite an eye opener.

"Choose!" Brown said to Sean Knight expressionlessly.

"Alright." Just as Sean Knight was about to squat down, he suddenly looked up at Brown and said, "Mr. Brown’s bodyguards won’t suddenly shoot at me while I’m choosing, will they?"

As soon as he said these words, Brown’s face turned slightly red. Soon after, he said coldly:

"Absolutely not, you just relax!"

Andrew Petrov and Martin on the side suddenly became alert!

Had something happened before they arrived?

Otherwise, why does the dialogue between Sean Knight and Brown feel so weird?

Sean Knight emptied his backpack first and gave the self-heating food inside to Martin. Also, while taking things out of his backpack, he got a bag out of the spatial realm, otherwise, Sean Knight was afraid that it wouldn’t fit.

Although more than sixty pieces sound a lot, but actually these gold and silver items are not big at all, the biggest is just a hollow gold ball the size of a volleyball, with various patterns on it.

Sean Knight picked up the gold ball.

"You can’t move this!"

The expert called out.

Sean Knight looked up at the expert, then looked at Brown.

The expert suggested to Brown:

"It’s difficult to estimate the value of some items. I suggest we pick them together, otherwise, we’re going to lose out."

Brown nodded.

Sean Knight didn’t object, he said to the expert:

"Fine, you pick first. You pick three, I pick one, is that okay?"

The expert agreed.

Sean Knight looked over with his Sky Eye, and he had a general idea of the age and quality of these things.

After picking more than sixty items, he filled his backpack, and Sean Knight was still holding a bag with more than ten items in it.

"These things are heavy, can you carry them?" Martin was worried, "Do you want..."

"No." Sean Knight knew what Martin was going to say, and he stopped him immediately.

Martin was going to stay with Brown here. If Brown becomes suspicious, that’ll be troublesome.

Brown and his bodyguards, Andrew Petrov, and his team members, were all waiting to see Sean Knight make a fool of himself.

How could Sean Knight carry such heavy stuff? It must be more than a hundred kilograms!

Brown had already started thinking about how to make it difficult for Sean Knight next!

Sean Knight saw the expression on Brown’s face, but he didn’t care.

First, he adjusted his backpack, straightened the straps, then turned around, bent over, hung the strap on his shoulder, then took a deep breath, and he really stood up!

Everyone was stunned!

He really carried it!
