Chapter 1445: Chapter 695: Money Can Change a Person

Bobov and Victor, bound at the hands and gagged with rags, were dragged to the front of the campground.

The patrol team members who dragged them threw the two men onto the ground. Both men had their hands tied behind their backs and ropes around their legs, and their faces bore scars, clearly having suffered greatly.

At the sight of Sean Knight and his men, the eyes of the two men were filled with pleading, but they couldn’t make a sound because their mouths were stuffed.

They writhed like maggots, utterly unable to break free.

"Mr. Knight, these two are the ones who reported you." Alyosha, holding an AK74 rifle, pointed at the men and said to Sean Knight,

"When I went back yesterday, I interrogated them. These two aren’t just excavating and stealing ivory, but they’ve also committed many robberies in Siberia, and they have killed three Chinese people!"

Originally when Bobov and Victor were brought over, Sean Knight had guessed this much. However, he had not expected that the two had actually killed their compatriots!

"I brought them here today to give you an explanation and to prove my sincerity!"

Saying this, he raised his gun towards the two men and fired a burst of bullets!

The gunshot was a bit abrupt, several team members guarding Sean Knight reacted defensively, but seeing Alyosha shooting at the two prisoners, they did not take further action.

Sean Knight hadn’t expected Alyosha to be so decisive and to start shooting just like that!

Victor and Bobov died with their eyes wide open here.

The two patrol team members, obviously used to such sights, came over to drag away the bodies. Alyosha, acting as if nothing had happened, tossed his gun to another team member and then smilingly said to Sean Knight:

"Mr. Knight, consider this a welcoming gift. By the way, this time I’ve brought twelve mammoth tusks and seven woolly rhinoceros horns, how about this price..."

"We need to have a specialist do an appraisal first, once it’s appraised, I’ll pay you," Sean Knight agreed promptly.

"No need for that hassle!" Alyosha thought Sean Knight intended to go outside to find those experts and waved off, "Come, Mr. Knight, please follow me first to check out the goods. If the goods are correct, I can also set the price. Don’t worry, it will definitely be lower than the market price."

Since Alyosha put it that way, Sean Knight wasn’t fussed and followed him with his men.

On the highway outside, behind a few police cars, a truck was parked at the roadside, loaded with many mammoth tusks.

Revered by statue craftsmen and highly praised in live broadcasts, these sought-after tusks were piled up like rotten wood, unguarded and uncared for.

"Look here, among these dozen tusks, three are ice tusks," Alyosha, having been patrol team leader here for over a decade, was far from inexperienced, he walked to the side of the truck and explained to Sean Knight, "Two are permafrost tusks, the others are mammoth tusks from the soil. So, averaging them out, I’m selling them to you for 20,000 dollars each, not too much, right?"

"Not at all!" Sean Knight hadn’t expected Alyosha to offer him such a cheap price; it was a bit more than one-third of the typical amount, definitely less than half.

"And these rhino horns, I know they’re sold by the kilogram. Chinese people have come here wanting to buy them, but I didn’t sell. Honestly, I don’t trust them... I’ll sell you each rhino horn for 20,000 dollars as well, how about that?"

"Great!"

The price was indeed really low.

Sean Knight smiled; Alyosha was really selling them off cheap!

That feeling of getting a bargain was truly exhilarating!

"Then you guys take the goods away," Alyosha said, "I hope to get the money quickly."

"No problem, come with me," Sean Knight said smilingly, "I’ll pay you right now. Rest assured, once you sell the goods to me, the rest won’t concern you at all. I have an excavation permit; these items are my own digs..."

"Mr. Knight, smart!" Alyosha gave a thumbs up.

Back at the campground, Sean Knight went into the tent, and when he came out, he approached Alyosha with a package in hand.

"Here is 400,000 dollars," Sean Knight said. "It’s a fair deal, and the remaining 20,000 dollars is your commission."

Alyosha was stunned; he hadn’t expected to get a commission selling all this ivory for his squad!

He was instantly thrilled!

His monthly salary was about 2,000 dollars, which was high in Russia.

The 20,000 dollars in commission was equivalent to ten months of his salary!

And from the 380,000 dollars received, part had to be shared with other team members to buy their silence, but he could take about one-third for himself!

Just this one transaction was enough for his family to live comfortably in Russia for several years!

Seeing Alyosha’s expression, Sean Knight laughed.

By this time, Elijah and his men had already transported the ivory and rhino horns back from the truck and stored them in the campground.

"How will you transport these items back?" Alyosha, clutching the bag of money tightly, asked Sean Knight.

His question shifted the somewhat awkward atmosphere — after all, being shocked by several hundred thousand dollars had been a bit embarrassing.

"We have a truck, we’ll load the ivory in the truck, which should be enough to transport everything," Sean Knight said. "If you can get more tusks, then I’ll have to have my airplane come over."
