Chapter 154 - 153: Turns Out It Hasn’t Transformed Into a Dragon Yet

Chapter 154: Chapter 153: Turns Out It Hasn’t Transformed Into a Dragon Yet

In a week, Sean Knight let Elijah Hastings go.

Watching the figure that was still a bit thin but had a determined stride, Sean felt that he might have encountered a talent.

Elijah said that he was lucky to have met Sean.

If he could get this person under his command, it would also be Sean’s luck.

He was holding an ancient jade from the Han Dynasty in his hand, which had a long history, a simple carving style, fine jade quality, and was not ordinary.

Elijah said it was a family heirloom and left it with Sean first.

Sean prepared money and weapons for him.

The money was US Dollars from the mountain, and the weapons were taken from those who attacked him.

The identity was a fake that Mr. John had bought at a high price.

Of course, unless checked with instruments, it could not be distinguished by the naked eye.

Elijah’s English was not very good, but Sean did not ask any more questions about it.

Since he could come through connections, there must be a plan for it.

Sean thought of it as a gamble.

In the past two days, Sean has absorbed almost all the energy in the crystal skull.

Or maybe he had reached a bottleneck; he felt that there should be something better in the skull, but he could not absorb it yet.

Many of the dreams he had were about ancient Maya people, which was troublesome.

He was sure they were Maya people because he checked the information after waking up and confirmed that the wizards, sacrifices, and flat-topped pyramids in the jungle should be the extinct Maya people.

That day, after sending Joanna Davis away, Sean was checking information in the new villa when a phone call came from an unfamiliar number.

Sean answered it, and a cold voice on the other end said:

"Sean?"

"I’m Sean Knight, and you are...?"

"Brown introduced me and said that you are good at treasure hunting?"

"Brown? I apologize, but I just have better luck." Sean exchanged a few pleasantries.

"That’s good. Sometimes, luck is also a part of strength. I want to hire you to help me find treasure. If successful, twenty percent is yours."

"I’m sorry, but I don’t have time right now." Sean directly refused.

What good intentions could Brown have? It was obviously impossible.

Although Sean didn’t have time to take revenge on Brown right now, he wouldn’t fall into his trap.

"Think carefully about it..." The person on the other end didn’t expect Sean to refuse so directly and advised him.

Sean simply hung up the phone.

Brown had at least promised 30%, and this one directly only offered 20%!

Did he underestimate Sean?

Sean didn’t take this matter to heart. After spending some time in the new villa, he went back to the old villa for dinner.

After lunch, Sean had nothing to do and decided to go to the freight yard.

He remembered that there was still an unopened container, and there would be another container auction tomorrow. Jason had procured another batch of unclaimed containers, and Sean planned to go and categorize them.

As soon as his car was about to reach the freight yard, three black SUVs drove directly towards Sean and forced his car to stop.

Seven or eight bodyguards with guns rushed down. Sean had already taken out his gun, but he was a step too late and was pulled out of the car, and his gun was taken away.

Although he was initially panicked when someone pointed a gun at him, Sean calmed down a bit.

He knew that if these people didn’t shoot him right away, there was room for negotiation.

As for the outcome, it depended on the end.

After all, waking up early doesn’t necessarily mean you have a good body.

They just had the first move advantage.

Sean was pushed in front of a black Mercedes, and a cold-faced man in the car rolled down the window and said coldly to Sean:

"My name is Peter Smith. I’m the one who called you to help me find treasure. I’m giving you another chance! The day after tomorrow at eight in the morning, be at the entrance of your villa with your tools and equipment, and I’ll have someone pick you up."

"Remember, don’t try any tricks! I know you have several villas, and I know what your little girlfriend does for a living!

I bet your little freight yard hasn’t experienced a fire, and those little black kids haven’t seen the murderous atmosphere in New York!"

"If you don’t want to lose everything, do as I say! Also, because of your rudeness, the commission will be 10% of the treasure found!"

After the man finished speaking, the car window rolled up, the men in black withdrew, and Sean was left alone on the side of the road.

Back in the car, Sean suddenly felt that he had been too naive lately. He thought that having money, a villa, a freight yard, and a girlfriend meant his life was at its peak.

However, all the seemingly perfect and even fulfilling things in his life turned out to be just a bubble that could be easily popped by others!

For a moment, Sean even wanted to throw everything away and return to his home country.

After all, he had already got the jade pendant.

But thinking about what the man had said, Sean couldn’t bear it.

Why should he be the one to leave?

With his abilities and unknown extraordinary powers, did he need to flee?

Sean’s panic gradually subsided.

So, it was time to respond.

He took out his mobile phone while in the car and called Joanna.

"You’re going treasure hunting again?" Joanna was surprised.

"Because of some things... Just stay in school or go home straight after school in the meantime. I’m already being watched."

Sean didn’t mince words. He had already sensed the dangers of the beautiful country, and such things couldn’t be hidden, or it might end up being deadly.

He now understood why Brown always brought so many bodyguards with him – it was out of necessity, not like some domestic celebrities who only wanted to put on an act.

"You must be careful!" Joanna was not a naive girl and understood Sean’s situation.

"If it doesn’t work out, go back to your home country first..." Joanna suggested.

"No need. Someone just wants me to help them find treasure." Sean reassured her, "I’ll be back soon."

"Alright." Joanna knew that Sean’s mind was set and didn’t argue any further.

After hanging up Joanna’s call, Sean called Jason.

"Be careful over there. Someone’s already paying attention to us. Make sure the security guards are equipped with weapons, and be prepared for anything wrong!"

Deep down, Sean valued human life the most.

But Jason understood and immediately said:

"Boss, I got it! I’ll let my brothers be on guard!"

However, after hanging up the phone, Jason immediately gathered dozens of little black kids.

"Brothers, it’s the boss who gave us jobs, fed us, and gave us a high salary and bonus! Now the boss is in trouble, and someone is eyeing our freight yard, do we agree?"

"We don’t agree!"

"Alright! Everybody, stay focused and get your weapons ready! If anyone dares to make trouble, we won’t let them off easily!"

Sean did not expect that his reminder call would unexpectedly lead to Jason holding a pledge meeting!

At this time, he was calling Kathy Lewis.

It seemed that he had been too naive!
