Chapter 1438: Chapter 692: Where There’s Something Unusual, There’s a Demon_3

But here, she doesn’t have to pay for anything.

She wanted to contribute to the food expenses, but Viola stopped her.

The explanation given by Viola was that it was unnecessary.

After all, Sean Knight truly didn’t need her bit of money.

Alright, Yenia just felt like this was the most comfortable treasure hunting team she had ever stayed with.

A new day began, and the team members, along with an invigorated Yenia, started their new search for work.

The search range had now expanded to areas more than five kilometers away from the campground.

"At most, half a month," Yenia said while searching, "and this season’s mammoth ivory digging season will end."

Yenia’s plan was to find one more piece of ivory before the season ended, and that would be quite satisfactory.

According to the distribution method given by Sean Knight, finding one piece of ivory would ensure her an income of at least 10,000 US dollars, and together with her current money, she could easily live for a year after returning home.

What about next year?

Suddenly, Yenia felt a sense of crisis.

Indeed, this year was coming to an end. What about next year?

But she couldn’t really talk about that.

She’d better focus on searching seriously. Maybe, if she could find two more, she would have new plans for the next year.

Then, Sam Baker suddenly pulled Yenia to the side:

"Be careful, there are people in the distance, don’t stray too far from me!"

While speaking, he had his hand on the Gun, vigilantly watching the distance.

They’d been here for several days now, and this was the first time they’d seen someone other than team members, so Sam Baker couldn’t be anything but alert.

These past few days, working together on the treasure hunt, Sam Baker had heard Yenia talk about her experiences as a Digger and ivory miner.

The law of the jungle had never been more real.

It was too common for people to go missing in unpopulated areas, testing one’s true nature.

Yenia also felt a bit scared and immediately hid behind Sam Baker.

She had seen with her own eyes a time when an ivory digger had been robbed at Gunpoint for his ivory.

The original owner of the ivory had just retorted a few words and was shot in the head!

However, one of the two people approaching suddenly shouted:

"Yenia, Yenia!"

Victor?

Yenia recognized this familiar voice.

Her emotions immediately became complicated.

Victor and Team Leader Bobov had narrowly avoided an attack by the Plains wolf in the jungle, made their way to Little Town to buy tools, and then headed to the beach.

However, they encountered the patrol team once again.

With no other option, Bobov and Victor had to run, getting further and further away, until they arrived here.

They too were surprised to see Yenia here.

However, seeing Yenia hiding behind a Chinese man, with the man also holding a Gun, Victor and Bobov felt uneasy.

Had Yenia found a new boss, or was she being coerced into searching for ivory?

Hearing the calls from the others, Sam Baker turned to look at Yenia’s reaction, figured it out, and asked in a low voice:

"Are those your former teammates?"

"Yes," Yenia whispered. "The middle-aged man is Bobov, and the youth is Victor."

"The middle-aged man owes you money?" Sam Baker asked again.

"Yes."

"Alright then." Sam Baker smiled, then with a stern face and Gun in hand, he walked over and said to Bobov:

"You are Yenia’s former teammates, right?"

"...Yes." Recognition was inevitable for Bobov, despite his usual caution. He didn’t want to acknowledge it, but with Yenia present, it was impossible not to.

"That’s good." Sam Baker pointed at Yenia and said, "She owes our boss money and is now digging for ivory to repay the debt. According to her, you also have a sum of her money. Hand it over now!"

Bobov tried to protest, but Sam Baker pointed the Gun at him.

"Don’t tell me you don’t have any money. If you don’t hand it over now and I find it upon searching you, then the amount won’t be as simple as what she said!" Even though Sam Baker was young, he was not without experience.

Dealing with such people was simple with a Gun; harsh words would do the rest.

Bobov, looking miserable and helpless, took some money out from his chest pocket, counted it, and handed it to Sam Baker.

Victor’s look towards Yenia changed at that moment.

In the Team, Yenia had always been dusty and dirty, only looking fairly pretty on the first day, and the rest was the look of a Soil-covered woman.

But now, Yenia had returned to the beauty of that first day, which definitely stirred Victor’s heart!

Hearing Sam Baker say that Yenia owed his boss money, Victor instantly got the idea of playing the hero to save the damsel in distress.

But after Sam Baker took the money, he pointed the muzzle of his Gun at Victor with a disdainful look:

"What? You have a problem with that?"

Victor immediately raised his hands and backed away:

"No, no problem at all. We’re just ordinary teammates... nothing more..."

He then elbowed Bobov, gave him a look, and the two of them scooted away.

Sam Baker handed the money to Yenia:

"Here, your money."

Yenia was stunned for a moment, then took the money with some emotion.

These two days, she had already learned that Sean Knight didn’t shortchange his subordinates, so Sam Baker and the others wouldn’t be lacking money.

If Sean Knight hadn’t been exclusive with foreign team members, Yenia would have thought about joining Sean Knight’s team.

The treatment was truly good!

"Thank you, thank you!" Yenia sincerely said.

"Actually, when this digging season ends, you can go work at our boss’s mining site," Sam Baker suddenly said, "The site is in Tomsk, and they need locals there. Viola is your friend, and if you need work..."

"Really? I’ll talk to Viola as soon as I go back!" Yenia said, overjoyed.

Sam Baker thought to himself that they might continue cooperating in the future.

But after Victor and Bobov left, they were still dissatisfied.

Victor suddenly said to Bobov:

"Leader, the ivory these people are digging must be illegal, right?"

"Probably," Bobov replied distractedly, regretting the loss of 5,000 US dollars. It was a huge loss!

"Then what if we report them?" Victor said excitedly, "They are Chinese, those patrol teams would be happy, wouldn’t they?"

Bobov’s eyes lit up; that was indeed a good idea!
