Chapter 1446: Chapter 695: Money Can Change a Person_2

Alyosha felt that this was just right. It perfectly matched the image of someone like Sean Knight.

Once the trade was completed, as Alyosha was about to leave, Sean Knight said to Elijah Hastings,

"How much supplies do we have left?"

"Quite a lot, there’s still over half left in the truck."

"Then move some wine, meat, and other food for them."

Listening to the translation provided by Viola, Alyosha rubbed his hands together and said excitedly,

"This is very embarrassing."

However, judging by his expression, he wasn’t embarrassed at all!

Watching Elijah Hastings and his men move out several boxes of Chinese baijiu, Alyosha and his team’s eyes shone with excitement, each shouldering a box and departing straight away. Elijah Hastings then led his people to move the remaining items over to them.

The police car went screaming off, while Sean Knight and his team began to pack up the ivory and rhinoceros horns they had moved back into the truck.

Yenia went through the whole process as if in a dream.

She clearly saw that one of the pieces of ivory that Sam Baker was carrying was the exact one she had once dug up with great difficulty, only to have lost it when chased by the patrol team!

And now it had found its way back in front of her!

It was truly like something out of a drama!

Thinking about how she and her team had dug for the ivory, braving the severe cold, hunger, and the risk of being arrested, and how little they had reaped,

Sean Knight, however, had stayed comfortably at the campground, with top-notch equipment like he was on an adventure tour, while the patrol team she feared so much had actively brought the ivory right to their doorstep!

How could such a contrast be so absurd and dreamlike, yet it was really happening right beside her!

"People are not all the same," Sam Baker secured the ivory and saw Yenia standing there in a daze, he guessed her feelings from her experience and patted her shoulder consolingly,

"Our boss is an exception, it’s not good to compare others with him. You’d be infuriated just by trying."

Yenia nodded subconsciously.

She had heard from Sam Baker about Sean Knight’s past, about how this young Chinese tycoon had been a down-and-out youth in New York, barely scraping by betting on containers.

But in just a few years, this young man had, through his own efforts (and luck), become one of the world’s leading rich.

Listening to Sam Baker talk about Sean Knight’s assets in the Middle East, Afghanistan, South America, and other places around the world, Yenia felt as if she was dreaming.

Were these industries developed in just a few years?

Even Bill, once the richest man in the world, had developed for many years, yet he owned just over 1000 hectares of land in America!

As Yenia was being contemplative, Sean Knight had already begun to make announcements on his side,

"Today we won’t search for ivory. Let’s load up these pieces first. Some people will escort the truck back—Elijah, you’re in charge.

Transport the ivory to the castle in Tomsk, and by the way, have Charles Young obtain clearance to bring our airplane over."

"Boss, after loading the truck, we should call the castle to send over more people," Elijah Hastings suggested, "I’m taking the truck back, so there will be even fewer people left here. I think it’s still not safe here..."

Today, Alyosha had summarily executed two people on the spot, which shocked Elijah Hastings a bit.

Here, a patrol officer could just kill someone without the need for an interrogation or courtroom, which signified a truly scary level of "openness."

They hadn’t come with many people to begin with, so if Elijah was to take some away, would they be able to protect Sean Knight?

After all, taking too few with him would also be unsafe—if someone knew that a truckload of mammoth ivory was to be transported from here to the south of Siberia, would they get any bad ideas?

It was hard to say!

Once Elijah Hastings put it that way, Sean Knight also felt it made sense.

The son of a wealthy man cannot sit in a hall with a collapsing roof.

Safety first!

After the goods were loaded onto the truck, Elijah Hastings gathered the team members together, emphasizing the importance of safety.

He then returned to the tent and started to contact Lincoln Harrington at the castle, and also Charles Young at Big Island.

The closest city to Sean Knight and his team didn’t have an airport, but if Charles Young could get the C-130 airplane authorized, it could land on a fairly rudimentary flat surface.

So, if for safety reasons, flying out large quantities of ivory by airplane was the best method.

Of course, this was on the premise that Alyosha could bring in more large quantities of ivory; otherwise, there would be no need for the airplane to come.

Of course, Sean Knight had other plans as well.

Because there was so much ivory at the campground, there was no need to go to the seaside that day; aside from three team members going into the jungle for hunting to procure fresh meat, the other team members were in the campground preparing for combat.

In the afternoon, Alyosha returned to the campground.

To Sean Knight’s surprise, this time he had brought back a dozen more pieces of ivory and five woolly rhinoceros horns.

"Mr. Knight, these ivories are from the neighboring patrol team’s stock," Alyosha took the initiative to explain, "The team leader Ivanovich and I have a good relationship, and their team members also lead a hard life.

Knowing that I have a safe channel here to exchange these ivories for cash, he gladly brought the items over to me."

Sean Knight could tell that this "safe channel" was very important to Alyosha and his team.

They would rather keep these items in a warehouse, or turn them in upwards, than sell them to people they didn’t trust.

On the contrary, as long as they confirmed the channel was safe, they would act immediately, with no delay."
