Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets
Chapter 174 - 173: This is a Real Misunderstanding!

Chapter 174: Chapter 173: This is a Real Misunderstanding!

"Come out quickly!" Evelyn Taylor shouted at the people inside.

Actually, there was no need for her to shout, the two people inside knew they had to run out as quickly as possible!

However, as soon as they reached the deck and had no time to jump down, the boat really collapsed!

Sean Knight and the others hurriedly retreated. Although the boat wasn’t considered big, the mast was certainly long! Even if it was rotten, ordinary people would find it hard to withstand being hit by it!

For a moment, the spatial realm was filled with dust and smog.

Penson Smith emerged from the dust, his face covered in dirt. His once elegant demeanor was completely gone.

Seeing Sean Knight’s shocked expression, Penson felt a little embarrassed and regretted not listening to Sean’s advice.

After a while, the spatial realm finally settled down.

The Treasure Hunter team leader crawled out from under the collapsed boat, holding his injured head and looking for Evelyn Taylor.

Evelyn Taylor, who had avoided the collapse alongside Sean Knight, immediately stepped forward to bandage the team leader’s wounds.

Gru Devon glared at Sean Knight hatefully.

As if he believed Sean had cursed the boat to collapse.

Sean Knight felt wronged.

Luckily, no one was seriously injured. Seeing the boat in pieces, Penson Smith simply instructed:

"Let’s just go in and search for it!"

After all, there was no way they could transport the boat back intact.

The cost of repair would probably not be low.

As a heart’s desire was crushed, Penson’s mood was not great.

Sean didn’t offer to help, he just watched.

He didn’t move forward earlier, and unduly blamed, now if he stepped forward, and something happened, he wouldn’t be able to explain.

"A bronze cannon!"

"Three boxes of iron cannonballs!"

"Three boxes of gunpowder! Be careful!"

...

The Treasure Hunter squad began clearing what they had found.

However, Evelyn Taylor didn’t step forward, and stood beside Sean Knight.

Sean, curious, asked:

"Why don’t you go and help?"

"I am the team doctor," Evelyn Taylor replied proudly. "My main responsibility is to treat injuries and provide preventive care."

Seeing the disbelieving expression on Sean’s face, Evelyn eventually had to tell the truth:

"I haven’t been in the team for a long time, and I don’t have much experience with this kind of thing. If I step forward, I may end up making things worse..."

Well, that’s a waste - rather, a mere decoration.

Sean Knight concluded.

Fortunately, Evelyn was quite good-looking, otherwise, Gru Devon would hardly be jealous just because she and Sean Knight communicated more.

Sean’s mood was not bad, but Penson Smith and the Treasure Hunter team leader were not feeling great.

The items they found were growing in number, but they were mostly cannons, shells, gunpowder, wine past its prime, curved knives, rotten food, and some skeletons.

A small box of gold and silver coins, and a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry of poor quality.

Beyond that, just some broken items from the boat.

If the whole boat were intact, it might be worth something - they could.transport it to an exhibition and make some money.

But now that the boat had been reduced to pieces, there was hardly anything valuable in the ship’s cabin!

Those weapons and cannons might barely be worth a million US Dollars at most?

Maybe not even that.

The frustrated Treasure Hunter team leader couldn’t believe it as he searched through the debris of the collapsed boat, mumbling to himself:

"Where’s the treasure? It shouldn’t be like this! It shouldn’t!"

Seeing Evelyn Taylor watching the scene like a play, Sean Knight was puzzled:

"You are a member of the team. Shouldn’t you be disappointed that no treasure has been found?"

"I’ve already been disappointed," Evelyn said matter-of-factly. "Things have happened, and we have to learn to accept them."

Her attitude was really good!

Sean Knight, making idle conversation with Evelyn Taylor, found that she asked him again about Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Sean was annoyed; he could barely be called a half-bottle of medicine, and he couldn’t answer some of the questions.

Joanna is much better in that sense, she never bothers me with these professional questions.

Penson comes over and relieves Sean, while the treasure hunter team leader calls Evelyn over.

Evelyn is still somewhat unwilling.

"I should have listened to you earlier," Penson says while dusting off his clothes. "Ah, the loss is quite significant."

"But your expectations weren’t very high in the beginning, right?"

Penson didn’t expect Sean to see through his mentality so clearly, he smiles and says:

"Yes. Since we already have the treasure on our side, whatever else comes out here is just a bonus. So I didn’t care too much. I didn’t expect you to notice."

Sean smiles and doesn’t speak.

"Evelyn is quite good," Penson looks at the busy group of people and says, "How about it? Do you want to get to know her better?"

Sean shakes his head:

"No, she’s too persistent and too curious. I already have a girlfriend."

Penson uses a knowing expression to say:

"Men, having a few more doesn’t matter. Just manage your time well!"

Sean immediately thinks of the time management master.

Oh!

He didn’t expect Penson to be like this after getting to know him better.

However, hehe.

"I think Evelyn is quite curious about you."

"That’s because I am Chinese." Sean is very proud.

Although China hasn’t reached the top yet, it’s already strong enough to attract most people’s attention.

At this time, the team leader comes over, looking dejected, and says:

"Mr. Penson, this is the list of treasures we’ve got this time. Please have a look."

Penson takes a glance, nods his head and says:

"Well, there are quite a few. Some of these cannons look good in quality, and I plan to collect them."

The team leader looks at Sean hesitantly and suggests:

"We’ve also chosen several backup spots. I hope we can continue exploring..."

"No need, you’ve actually been very successful in finding this ship. It’s a big catch. I’ll pay you according to the contract. Let’s end this treasure hunt here!"

The team leader looks at Sean unwillingly, then turns away and leaves.

He knows that the reason Penson made this decision is largely because of Sean and the treasure he found.

Bad luck, can’t blame others.

Things will be gradually transported out, and Penson, Sean, and the others hang on ropes to climb up, then return to the wooden cabin.

Everyone is hungry after a day of busyness.

Those who stayed behind have prepared food, and everyone eats quickly.

After eating, Evelyn comes over to chat with Sean again.

Most of the content is still about traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese customs.

Sean suddenly asks:

"Do you want to go to China?"

"I do have that plan, and I even want to learn traditional Chinese medicine," Evelyn tells the truth. "I find Chinese medicine fascinating. I’ve experienced it a few times here, and it’s unforgettable."

Then she looks at Sean seriously and says:

"I just don’t know if anyone can accompany me there. I’m worried about going alone given it’s a country I’ve never been to..."

Sean simply points to Elijah:

"My brother here would be more than happy to accompany you."

Then he speaks loudly to Elijah:

"Elijah, don’t you agree?"

Elijah is a bit confused, but seeing Sean and Evelyn in deep conversation, he decides to help and says while chewing on jerky:

"Yes!"

Evelyn glares at Sean and ignores him.

Sean finds it amusing.

However, just a few minutes later, Evelyn takes the initiative to chat with Sean again, and they continue until late at night.
