Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets

Chapter 1463: 701

This area wasn’t currently a waterway or a tourist site, so there were no vessels around—unless it was a fishing boat or a specific type of boat—such as Sean Knight and his team.

The work boats didn’t dare to make any sudden moves, and the fishing boats were even more cautious, fearing they might provoke the people on the yacht.

Although none were good characters, and each boat was armed, it was rare for anyone like Sean Knight’s team to start shooting without good reason.

After all, everyone was here to seek wealth, and overturning the table over a clash of egos was something they had to think twice about.

Moreover, this area was so vast and had not yet been discovered by the government. But who could guarantee it would remain undiscovered forever?

Once discovered, they would no longer be able to continue their excavation, so it was crucial to make money first!

With no movements from the others, it was placid here, and the team happily dove into the water to search.

Six team members dived first, and Sean Knight also entered the water from another end of the yacht on his own.

Given his current condition, he could dive directly without an oxygen cylinder and stay underwater for at least an hour.

However, Sean wasn’t the kind to show off, he carefully suited up, then grabbed a fishing gun and a shovel, and somersaulted into the water heading towards his target.

His diving spot wasn’t the same as the other team members. To ensure underwater safety, the six dived in pairs; this way, in case of emergencies or encounters with sharks, they could look after each other.

Sean dived at a leisurely pace to his target location and found sparse coral growth there. The spot he needed to dig was near the coral, about half a meter above the seafloor’s sediment layer.

It was afternoon, and the sunlight was still strong. Here, the seawater was clear; visibility reached the seabed, making things visible through goggles as long as the sediment wasn’t disturbed.

Of course, Sean’s "Sky Eye" provided even clearer visibility. He scanned the surroundings and found no dangerous creatures—some poisonous fish did inhabit the seafloor, but as long as they weren’t provoked, the timid creatures wouldn’t attack.

Sean started digging with his shovel.

The stirred-up sediment slowly spread across the seafloor, quickly clouding the water in the area.

Some fish and shrimp hidden below fled. However, after about fifteen minutes, Sean made his first discovery.

This place must have once been the back of a store in the marketplace. Below a layer of ordinary sediment where Sean dug, there was dark brown soil, some rocks, and remains of wooden structures that had decayed and been consumed by microorganisms.

Within these remains was a large, wrapped mass of dark ash—Sean’s target.

These congealed masses were the standard currency used in this harbor city—Silver Coin.

Now, this large mass of oxidized silver coins weighed several tens of kilograms, indicating the store at that time must have been quite prominent.

Setting the large mass of silver coins aside, Sean fiddled with the shovel a bit longer and unearthed some golden coins from the wood fragments nearby.

The gold coins were assorted, with several types of bald eagle designs, and included a few smaller gold ingots, though not many.

Sean picked up each of the gold coins and counted them—about several dozen in all. This was essentially the main wealth here—there were also some copper coins, but Sean was too lazy to dig further.

Putting the gold coins into his spatial realm, Sean slowly surfaced carrying the large mass of silver coins.

On the yacht, Lincoln Harrington kept a vigilant watch over the surroundings, worried that someone might try another attack.

Douglas Cooper had led some men into the water, while Elijah Hastings stayed on the yacht, coordinating with two other smaller yachts. These yachts had also arrived in the nearby waters and were preparing to anchor under Elijah’s directions—forming a triangular formation for mutual cover and support.

When Sean emerged from the water, a team member immediately noticed and promptly received the large silver "chunk."

"Boss, this haul isn’t small at all!" Elijah instantly recognized that the chunk was a collection of silver coins. He had once excavated similar coins underground with Sean.

Only these weren’t as corroded.

Team members helped Sean onto the yacht, and after wiping the seawater from his face, he said with a smile,

"There’s quite a lot down there, though spread out—I guess it must be a marketplace."

He hadn’t mentioned this earlier, but now that findings were secured, he naturally shared his "suspicions" with everyone.

Hearing it was a marketplace brightened Elijah’s eyes, and he said with a smile,

"In that case, we can let others know to target their search."

They had brought several underwater metal detectors on this trip, making it extremely convenient to locate valuable items.

Half an hour later, some team members surfaced. They had found a box of copper coins, also congealed into a mass, covered with green rust.

Another team also emerged, holding several pieces of porcelain. They had to surface as the diving time was limited, and their oxygen cylinders were also running low.

Overall, the trip was fruitful.

Meanwhile, on the distant work boat, someone was using a Telescope looking their way, eyes filled with resentment as he saw items being retrieved onto the boat.

He definitely would not allow these Chinese People to abscond with items so easily!

Sean glanced in that direction.

Actually, he harbored similar thoughts.

The other party had the best location—if they managed to retrieve valuable items from the Lord’s Manor, he would not be pleased.

Therefore, Sean planned to see if he could maneuver a move to secure the most valuable items from the Ruin Site.

He thought about it and decided that night would be better.

That would be a more convenient time to act!
