Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets
Chapter 145 - 144: This is truly a big deal!

Chapter 145: Chapter 144: This is truly a big deal!

Seeing that there was no chance, Sean Knight immediately turned and left.

Walking to the highway, he remembered that there was a small village about ten kilometers ahead.

He spent the night outside the village that day, and bought a second-hand motorcycle the next day to drive to the city. Then, he bought a plane ticket and returned to New York City.

Sean’s return was very quiet, and he didn’t alarm anyone.

Returning to the villa, Kathy Lewis was very surprised to see Sean because he had said that he might need a long time.

Unexpectedly, he came back in less than a week.

Seeing that Sean was in good health, Kathy relaxed and asked:

"Sean, do you need me to prepare food for you now?"

Without waiting for Sean to reply, she had already ordered the maid at home to put on hot water.

"Yes," Sean said with a smile, "but there is something more important I want to know about now."

The two went to the study room.

Seeing the very obvious ethnic style of the objects Sean brought out, Kathy asked:

"A lot?"

"Quite a lot, and it needs to be kept secret."

Most of the gold and silver ware in Sean’s current spatial realm couldn’t be exposed to the light and would take some time to plan to obtain a legal and appropriate identity.

Sean didn’t want to go through the trouble so he looked for Kathy, thinking that his Uncle Jeremy Phillips must have similar channels in the past.

"Native American things..." Kathy thought for a moment, hesitated and said:

"Indeed, Mr. Jeremy had channels in this area in the past. However, the other party has a very quirky personality, doesn’t talk about favors, only about interests..."

Sean also hesitated.

Can such a trading person keep secrets?

"However, these things belong to their nation, they might be very interested and may agree to some additional conditions."

"Well then, get in touch. I’ll take some photos and you can help me send them over to ask for the price." Sean knew that some things would only be known after a negotiation, especially like keeping secrets. If he took the initiative to mention it, the other party would definitely lower the price.

Giving the handle to the other party willingly was definitely not an option.

He needed to find another way.

Kathy nodded in agreement.

Sean went back to his bedroom, found some objects with obvious sacrificial styles, and took pictures of them.

He originally planned to photograph the golden totem pillar, but considering its heavy and large size, it would be troublesome if it damaged the floor in the bedroom while moving it.

After sending the photos to Kathy, Sean finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This trip had yielded a lot, but most of it was not suitable for sale at this time and could only be done on a small scale and slowly.

In the following days, Sean didn’t appear again, and even his mobile phone was turned off.

Occasionally turning on his phone, he learned that Smith had called him several times, and Joanna Davis had also made a phone call.

Sean didn’t answer and still kept his phone off.

He called home with a landline to report his safety and then went into hiding to wait for Kathy’s news.

When Smith called, Sean guessed that it was probably because Brown asked Smith about his situation, so Smith wanted to confirm.

Sean would definitely appear, but not now.

He would confuse Brown for as long as possible.

If Sean were in the forest, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill Brown.

But in the city, he wouldn’t do that - it’s too easy to be found out.

Sean believed that Brown must also be in confusion now, not sure whether he was dead or alive.

It would be best to drag on until Sean sold the gold and silver ware.

When he had nothing to do, Sean would read books in the study room.

Only after entering this field did he realize that he lacked a lot of knowledge.

Kathy’s side was quick, and a day later, she came to the study room with her mobile phone to find Sean, saying:

"The other party received the photos and responded today, very urgently wanting to meet."

"No meeting first, ask what he wants to do." Sean didn’t plan to meet first; he had no particular feelings towards the living Native Americans although he sympathized with their ancestors.

His only feeling was probably the tune of "The Last of the Mohicans" or something like that.

Kathy made the call right in front of Sean.

After talking for a while, she whispered to Sean, covering the phone:

"They’re asking if there’s also a tall golden totem pillar? If there is, they’ll offer a high price to buy it!"

"Ask how much money they can offer?" Sean was very direct, since they knew about it, he didn’t plan to hide it.

Sky Eye did not react to the golden totem pillar, which indicated that it was different from the crystal skull and had no special function.

Kathy spoke a few more sentences before telling Sean:

"The other party needs to see the real thing, or at least a photo, otherwise they can’t offer a good price."

"That’s fine, wait for me." Sean thought about it, put on his clothes, put on a hat, and went out.

He drove to the freight yard, met with Jason Caldwell, and asked him to keep a secret. He then found an empty container by himself, went in, closed the door, and then took out the golden totem pillar and photographed it with his mobile phone’s flashlight.

At this moment, Sean truly saw the full view of the totem pillar.

With a diameter of about fifty centimeters and a length of about two meters, the top was bigger, like a hat, or more like a phallus - the more Sean looked at it, the more it resembled. Could this be a fertility worshiper’s object?

Golden crafted, amazing!

Of course, it was just a symbolic image; it looked like nothing more than a mushroom-headed totem pillar at first sight.

After taking the photos, Sean took a few more photos of the details, placed his hand on the totem pillar, and planned to take it back.

A cooling sensation came from his hand, which felt comfortable.

Hesitating for a moment, Sean touched the totem pillar for a few minutes. When the refreshing feeling disappeared, he put the totem pillar away.

It was not suitable for long-term exposure outside.

However, Sean vaguely felt that the totem pillar’s radiance seemed to have faded slightly when he took it back.

Perhaps it was an illusion.

After leaving the freight yard, he reminded Jason and the others to keep it a secret. Jason patted his chest, assuring him that there would be no problem.

Jason then reported the situation to Sean.

There had been four container auctions in two days, with five to six containers in each auction, and the average auction price per container was around 10,000 US dollars.

Although a bit low, it was a profitable long-term strategy.

With their reputation established, Jason continued to purchase large quantities of abandoned containers, intending to make this the main business of the freight yard.

Sean sent the photos to Kathy and decided to stay at the freight yard that day.

There were still two containers that hadn’t been opened, and Sean planned to use this time to open them.

As soon as Kathy sent the photos to the other party, they immediately replied.

"50 million dollars?" Kathy was surprised and delighted. She didn’t know the size of the totem pillar, but this price was beyond her expectation.

Even all the similar deals from Mr. Jeremy in the past didn’t add up to this amount.

Mr. Knight, you’re amazing!

But she didn’t dare to agree to the offer and could only say that she would consult.

However, Sean’s phone was turned off.

Kathy could only wait patiently for Sean to come back. This waiting was quite tormenting!

At this moment, Sean had already opened one of the containers that he hadn’t opened before.

This time, it was going to be opened.
