Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets
Chapter 166 - 165: It’s not too much to bring a helper, right?

Chapter 166: Chapter 165: It’s not too much to bring a helper, right?

Sean Knight eventually agreed to go treasure hunting with Penson.

The two of them had a thorough discussion on the specific agreement.

"If the value of the treasure found exceeds 50 million US dollars, the Bronze Man will belong to Sean Knight.

If the value of the treasure is not reached, Sean Knight will have the right to get 30% of the treasure’s value and buy the Bronze Man for 20 million US dollars."

This was the final result of the agreement between the two.

It was notarized at that point.

Sean Knight felt that Penson was much more particular about things than his father, Peter.

At least in terms of transactions, Penson was much more reassuring.

Neither of them mentioned the jadeite, as if they had forgotten about it.

Penson told Sean Knight:

"We’ll set off in about a week, and I’ll let you know the specific time in two days."

Then Penson left in a hurry.

Sean Knight went to find Elijah Hastings.

"You’re planning to go?" Elijah was a bit surprised.

Sean Knight had refused to go before, and had Peter assassinated as a result.

Now he wanted to go again. What did this mean?

"I have a compelling reason to go." Sean Knight didn’t mention the Acupuncture Bronze Figure.

After spending some time with Americans, he had gained some insight into how some of them think.

Like Penson, he could indeed take the jadeite and the Bronze Man and exchange them for a large sum of money from the Chinese People.

And this amount of money would certainly not be small.

But his ambition was not money.

If it were about money, he wouldn’t have chosen the island with only a legend after Peter’s death when dividing the inheritance.

Of course, the cost for Penson to obtain the jadeite and the Bronze Man was not high, so he was willing to pay the price.

After all, Americans care about antiques, but the care about themselves more. Penson was more concerned about being Peter’s true heir.

He also believed in the legend, and that as long as he found the treasure, he would become the richest person in his family.

"In any case, we’re going together now. You get ready."

Since the boss ordered it, Elijah had no objection.

At most, it would be a bit more dangerous.

Given Sean Knight’s character, he wouldn’t be stingy.

As expected, Sean Knight said:

"Before we leave, I’ll give you a 100,000 yuan settling-in allowance. I don’t know if it’s dangerous or not, but just protect me and yourself. When we return, I’ll give you a bonus based on the harvest."

Elijah smiled.

He knew it.

A generous boss.

In terms of wilderness survival and such, Elijah didn’t need Sean Knight’s reminder. Instead, he advised Sean Knight on what to bring and what not to bring.

The two discussed, exchanged, and learned, finally determining what to bring with them.

Although Sean Knight had the spatial realm, he still studied carefully, as it was dependent on the Jade Pendant.

If he lost the Jade Pendant, wouldn’t he be at a loss?

Being prepared for the worst is absolutely necessary.

Two days passed quickly, Penson made a phone call, and Sean was to go to the port in three days.

Sean Knight had already packed and prepared everything on his side.

During these three days, except for shamelessly fooling around with Joanna Davis, the only important thing he did was to absorb the energy from the three pieces of jadeite.

He absorbed it all.

Sean Knight felt that he was just a little bit away from another breakthrough for his Sky Eye ability.

But he was just a little bit short.

No more jadeite left, Sean Knight placed his hopes on the Crystal Skull.

Apart from spending time with Joanna, Sean Knight was holding the Crystal Skull at other times.

Finally, on the morning of departure, Sean Knight felt a faint "pop" in his mind where Sky Eye was located and broke through.

There wasn’t much turbulence, just that his sixth sense became clearer, and after activating Sky Eye, he could see through a greater distance underground, about fifteen meters.

Sean Knight understood that this should be a breakthrough of a small realm.

As for when he could break through another big realm, and what better functions it might have after that, Sean Knight didn’t know.

At the port, Penson was waiting for Sean in front of the big ship he had once been on.

Seeing Sean Knight and Elijah coming, Penson was slightly surprised, but he soon greeted them with a smile:

"Mr. Knight, this is...?"

"My personal assistant." Sean Knight introduced, "Chinese, more adept at wilderness survival than me."

"Does he also understand ’FENGSHUI’?" Penson suddenly asked.

"A little. He’s better at wilderness survival. I understand ’fengshui’."

"Very well." Penson didn’t object to Elijah boarding the ship. He boarded the ship with Sean, who was assigned a more spacious double room this time. Naturally, Elijah shared the room with Sean.

The ship started moving; Sean was slightly accustomed to it, and Elijah didn’t feel any discomfort either.

Considering Elijah’s experience, his adaptability seemed normal by now.

Three days passed, and it wasn’t difficult.

Unlike stern-faced Peter, Penson and his subordinates spent the journey fishing, playing in the water, and barbecuing. He didn’t have any boss-like airs around them.

It was evident that the people Penson brought with him respected him more.

Along the way, Sean Knight learned that Penson had also invited a treasure hunting team this time, and this team had actively approached him.

Moreover, their conditions were far inferior to Sean Knight’s — if they found the treasure, they only wanted ten percent of it.

It wasn’t that this team wasn’t strong. In fact, the team had a very strong lineup, with various advanced instruments, as well as doctors, translators, and antique research experts in addition to regular treasure hunters.

Each of them was carrying a gun.

Penson had four bodyguards, all armed as well.

So Elijah’s carrying a gun didn’t seem out of place.

"Do you really understand fengshui?" On the deck, while enjoying the sea breeze, Elijah spoke with Sean in Mandarin.

He was very curious.

What did Sean Knight rely on to hunt for treasure? Good eyesight?

Sean Knight was only one or two years older than him. What kind of eyesight could he have?

"Fengshui is actually about nature. If nature is destroyed, the terrain will change." Sean didn’t say whether he understood it or not, but explained:

"Fengshui actually has some origins in the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes contains many things. In terms of practicality, it is the most useful. Traditional Chinese Medicine also comes from the Book of Changes, as well as fengshui, divination, and so on..."

"Taoist magic? You mean the kind that can fly and go underground?" Elijah was even more curious.

"Ah — you’ve been deceived." Sean Knight was speechless, "Taoist magic is used to calculate good and bad fortune. ’Escape’ refers to concealment, and the one that disappears. The fortune that disappeared from people, naturally disappeared from the terrain... It’s not the Escape Skill of the Five Elements from the novels."

Elijah felt that he was beginning to grasp the concept.

Sean Knight could only explain the difference between Taoist magic and the Five Elements Escape Skill in novels in great detail.

"What are they talking about?" Penson was very curious about the conversation between Sean Knight and Elijah.

One of his bodyguards, understanding a little Mandarin, listened for a while and said, "They’re talking about an ancient Chinese technique or knowledge called ’YI’, I don’t quite understand it."

"Is it related to ’FENGSHUI’?"

Penson became even more curious.

"It seems to be somewhat related." His subordinate shook his head, "I don’t understand it. I don’t understand it at all."

Penson looked at Sean Knight thoughtfully.
