Chapter 161 - 160: Solve this person, and you can leave!

Chapter 161: Chapter 160: Solve this person, and you can leave!

"Someone threatened me." Sean Knight didn’t know what Elijah Hastings did, but he trusted him.

"What do you want me to do? Protect you?" Elijah Hastings frowned, "It’s not impossible, but over here, I’m not familiar with the laws and regulations, and I can’t carry a gun – "

He hesitated for a moment and said:

"Actually, I’m better at attacking."

Sean Knight thought for a moment and said:

"So, if I asked you to assassinate someone, could you do it?"

Elijah Hastings looked straight into Sean Knight’s face:

"What kind of person is this...?"

Sean Knight thought this might involve Elijah Hastings’ values, so he said:

"While you were gone these days, I was too. I went to an island to help this person hunt for treasure. Then, I found more than a dozen dead bodies on the island.

If it weren’t for me helping him find part of the treasure, and two of his subordinates dying, maybe in the next week, I would die on this island too."

Sean Knight didn’t give too many details, but Elijah Hastings understood.

"This person... can be killed."

"What do you need?" Sean Knight asked, "If you succeed, our deal will be complete. If you want to continue working here, you can be my bodyguard. Don’t worry; it’s good working here."

Elijah Hastings looked out the window and suddenly asked:

"How much do you pay them?"

"The small guys get around eight hundred a week, Jason Caldwell can get around two to five thousand a week."

"US Dollars?"

"Of course, US Dollars."

"If I stay..."

"Five thousand a week." Sean Knight confirmed, "But you have to protect my safety. If you work with them, it can only start at two thousand."

"Two thousand a week, eight thousand a month, converted into RMB, it’s more than fifty thousand... "

Elijah Hastings suddenly smiled:

"Then I’m in."

Sean Knight could actually see that Elijah Hastings seemed pretty comfortable working in the Freight Yard just now.

"I’ll find someone to help you get an identity first."

"Get the information on the person you’re dealing with first." Elijah Hastings shook his head and said, "Since my identity is fake now, it’s easy to do things without raising suspicion. Let’s get it done and then sort out my identity."

Sean Knight thought about it and let Elijah Hastings stay here for the time being while he went to gather information on Peter Smith.

He called Robert, who took the initiative to say:

"There’s no other clue on Elson Johnson yet. We’ve been trying to get some information from him in jail, but he’s tight-lipped and hasn’t revealed anything."

Sean Knight acknowledged, then asked:

"I need to investigate someone."

"Name."

"Businessman Peter Smith." Sean Knight briefly described Peter’s situation.

"I know him. He’s a butcher. Do you need us to help you get rid of him?"

"No, no, we’re currently partners. I just need to know his detailed information. After all, we’re still cooperating, and I want to know if he’s going to cheat me."

"He absolutely will." Robert advised, "He’s been in contact with numerous treasure hunters and Treasure Hunters, many of whom have gone missing. Those few who are still alive keep their mouths shut and won’t speak of their experiences. If you want to cooperate with him, you better be careful."

Sean Knight felt relieved that Robert could say this and seemed to have established a good partnership with him.

"I need to know his information, as detailed as possible. Only then can I be on guard." Sean Knight declined Robert’s proactive request to deal with Peter Smith again and paid for the information with 30,000 dollars.

Robert promised to provide the information in three days, and Sean hung up the phone.

It seemed challenging to find jadeite to supplement his Energy of Sky Eye now that he thought about it.

Sean Knight thought about it and called Monica Brown.

Upon receiving Sean Knight’s phone call, Monica Brown was somewhat surprised.

However, she also guessed that Sean must have something on his mind.

The two hadn’t been in contact for some time, having faded from each other’s lives.

"Miss Monica, I want to find out where I can buy jadeite besides Mr. Mason Arnold’s place, preferably in its raw form."

Monica Brown knew it, but she still thought about it seriously and said:

"There aren’t many Chinese selling jadeite, just two other stores. I’ll give you their general locations. Uncle Cao’s leftover jadeite was eventually sold to them. But whether they still have rough stones, I don’t know."

Sean thanked her, took the location information, and headed that way.

However, this trip ultimately left him disappointed.

There were plenty of finished jadeite pieces, but not a single full gambling rough stone.

There were two half-gamble stones, but they were not very impressive.

Reluctantly, he picked out two half-gamble stones at another store, left his contact information, and asked them to call him if any rough stones came in.

Leaving the jadeite shop, Sean Knight emptied the energy from the two raw stones of the jadeite in the parking lot.

Throwing the two stones in the trash bin, Sean Knight felt it was still far from enough.

It seems he needs to find time to go back to China after finishing his current tasks.

After being away for so long, he actually missed home a bit.

Three days passed quickly, but Sean Knight’s time wasn’t spent waiting, as his days were quite fulfilling.

Joanna Davis’ days were fulfilling as well.

This time, Robert arranged to meet Sean Knight in person.

They met at a different coffee house, and Robert leisurely drank coffee, not calling out to Sean Knight as he arrived – Robert had changed his outfit and hairstyle, and Sean Knight sneered, thinking: Such an old man, still playing these little tricks?

Sitting across from Robert, watching him reveal his surprise, Sean Knight said:

"After all, I’m a Treasure Hunter, I can still see your little changes. Did you get the thing?"

Robert took a large envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Sean Knight.

Sean Knight took out a bit to look, but Robert waved his hand:

"Look at it when you get home. This person’s influence is quite extensive; it’s better to be careful."

"Alright." Sean Knight asked:

"How much more do I owe?"

"Fifty-thousand dollars." Robert said solemnly, "It was almost exposed, so the price is a bit higher. But don’t worry, it’s worth it!"

Sean Knight had confidence, transferred the money, took the documents, and left.

Upon returning to his car, Sean Knight opened the envelope and began reading.

It was indeed very detailed, including Peter’s eating habits, travel, regular places, and favorite foods.

It was comprehensive, and Sean Knight was satisfied.

However, thinking of Elijah Hastings, Sean Knight sighed. So as not to leave a trace, he should just translate it for him.

Sean Knight went to find Elijah Hastings, and the two exchanged information in the car.

Seeing Elijah Hastings get into Sean Knight’s car, one of the small guys quietly asked Jason Caldwell:

"Boss, will Bosuns Evans and that Chinese guy... "

"Slap!" Jason Caldwell slapped the small guy, angrily saying:

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Jason Caldwell knew that when Sean Knight was at his house, he would look at Freya Perez’s backside.

How could he have that kind of preference?
