Chapter 184: Chapter 183: Evelyn Taylor’s Complaint

The second-hand mobile phone provided some extra cash, Howard Richardson waved his hand:

"This money is just for you and me to have fun these few days! Try to spend it all in these few days!"

"I don’t have that plan." Sean Knight shook his head:

"Once your Uncle Richardson’s matter is settled, I will need to go back to deal with my official business."

Howard complained:

"You are so rich now, why do you make yourself so tired? Can’t you just calm down and enjoy life?"

Sean was speechless.

At first glance, what Howard said makes some sense.

But isn’t what he’s doing now a way to enjoy life?

Using his own abilities (superpowers also count as abilities, no rebuttal allowed), find good stuff, and then put these things in the right place, to play their due role.

That sense of accomplishment cannot be compared to simple external pleasures.

Of course, there’s no way to communicate with Howard on this issue.

The second day, Melvin Richardson called Sean, saying that he had already arranged the meeting, face to face.

Such matters do indeed require face-to-face conversation.

When Sean arrived at Melvin Richardson’s home, Howard was also there.

He whispered to Sean:

"My uncle told me to come to keep you from getting nervous. The two collectors he invited are top-level in the industry."

In the living room, Melvin introduced the two collectors to Sean.

As expected, even as a layman, Sean had heard of these two people’s names.

"I have long admired the noble names of the two." Sean smiled and said, "I never thought I’d meet the real people at Uncle Richardson’s house."

The two collectors laughed when they heard this. One of them, who occasionally appeared on television, said:

"Although we are considered celebrities in the field of collecting, we are inferior to you this time."

"Absolutely!" The other one took over. "National treasure-level items are not something everyone can collect."

These two really admired Sean.

Being able to collect such things signifies ability, while being able to handle such things properly is a skill.

For some people, such items should either be hidden and not exposed, or once exposed, someone will surely target them.

No matter whether it’s official or private, there are plenty of people who can make you submit.

But as soon as Sean exposed the item, he had already arranged a destination for it. The way he played this hand was masterful.

He had ownership of the item and also made a big show of his generosity.

"No, no, I only have this one item. I still have to rely on the help of my seniors this time."

"No problem with helping." The one who spoke first said with a smile, "In the future, if there are treasures like the Tang Sword, don’t just stick to Ye Lao Er and let us know too.

Some things are lost abroad, and we can’t do anything about it. Now that you, Xiao Zhu, have the means, we want to collect some good things, so it’s up to you!"

Sean quickly said that he didn’t dare to. He couldn’t take on this high hat.

After some pleasantries between the two parties, Melvin led the conversation to the main topic.

Sean’s heart had already returned to his stomach. With these three people helping him, even if someone in the university had any ill intentions, they would have to think carefully beforehand.

The three people, together with Sean, discussed for more than half an hour, attending to every detail. Sean took note of them one by one and felt that it was enough.

Melvin originally wanted to invite everyone for a meal, but the two collectors had other matters to attend to. So Sean took out four golden coins and said:

"I appreciate the kindness of my seniors. This is a small toy I got from the pirate treasure in Beautiful Country. Please enjoy it."

This gold coin was taken out of the box from the first time Sean went on an adventure with Peter.

Later, Sean checked that this gold coin was not considered a private casting and was even recorded in history.

A gold coin is worth about five thousand US dollars now. The price is not high or low, and it’s good enough as a little gift.

As expected, both seniors and Melvin were curious. It’s hard to find old things related to pirates in China, so they value curiosity over price.

Another coin went to Howard. He took it without politeness.

After the two collectors left, Melvin said to Sean:

"I originally planned to return your favor, but now I owe you more. This thing, it’s unusual!"

He weighed the gold coin in his hand with some emotion.

"Uncle Richardson, don’t say that. This gold coin, compared to the help you have given me, is not worth mentioning at all." Sean said sincerely.

He was telling the truth.

Just now, the two collectors had said that the Bronze Man of Song Dynasty was a priceless treasure!

Not to mention a few hundred million, if placed in the underground antique market, there would be people who would pay tens of billions for it!

It’s all about rarity, inheritance, historical records, and the cultural heritage of traditional Chinese acupuncture!

There aren’t many such things in China!

Even if they exist, they are all in museums!

So, never underestimate people’s greed!

These people have seen a lot and naturally know what methods some people would use to take away things.

Only then did Sean realize that he had underestimated the influence of Bronze Man!

Fortunately, with the help of these people, the lease issue has been basically resolved.

Being able to cover every aspect is a skill.

That’s why Sean said so.

Melvin knew that Sean had understood his painstaking efforts, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Zhu, sometimes I really think you are not like the young people like Howard. Your understanding of life almost catches up with our group of middle-aged men!"

Sean smiled and thought, I’ve been through two lives and so many experiences in America. If I still didn’t gain something, I would have lived in vain.

With everything settled, Sean didn’t stay long. He went back the second day and called Colin Sullivan to discuss the leasing issue.

This time, he had a top lawyer from Ocean City to perfect the contract, striving to eliminate any loopholes.

Especially the compensation fees for the damage of the Bronze Man, and the liquidated damages, they had reached astronomical figures.

Colin was shocked when he saw it!

However, having seen a lot, Colin immediately understood what Sean was worried about.

In fact, when he went back this time, he had already heard some rumors.

Some people in the university had some unspeakable plans.

But they didn’t expect Sean to be so thoughtful. As soon as the contract came out, it directly shut some people up.

If they really wanted to take action, they would have to consider the cost of doing so.

Fortunately, Colin himself had no selfish intentions. After checking the contract and finding no traps, if the school didn’t deliberately damage the item or have ulterior motives, the contract was still fair.

He sent the contract back, made some small changes after discussion, and then signed it.

The first payment of the lease was transferred to Sean’s account.

Obviously, the university would make a big fuss about this. Then Sean received a phone call from the other side of the ocean.

It was from Evelyn Taylor.

"Sean, you’re not being honest!" Evelyn said, emphasizing each word, "I treated you like a friend, but you didn’t do the same! You clearly have connections with the Traditional Chinese Medicine University. Why didn’t you help me?"

Such resentment!
