Chapter 190: Chapter 189: So They Can Be High and Mighty Too

Sean Knight scanned them both, and they both had guns.

George felt a bit awkward. He originally thought that introducing the two parties would help ease the relationship with Sean and also connect the two big shots.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, the atmosphere was so tense. He hurriedly raised his hand and said:

"No, no, no! I think there must be some misunderstanding here, Sean. I think we should all sit down and talk. It’s not as simple as you think. Really, trust me this once!"

George’s words moved Sean slightly. The white man in his thirties, slightly shorter, with a short beard, and an uncle-like demeanor calmly said:

"Mr. Knight, I think we do need to talk. This matter is related to hundreds of families who suffered in that war. We need to seek justice for them—just like you are seeking justice for your countrymen against Japan."

These words moved Sean, and he nodded slowly.

The young man across from Elijah was a bit indignant. However, the older man said to him:

"David, don’t be impulsive. Impulsiveness not only fails to get things done but also tends to ruin things!"

"Heine, I understand." The young man, David, clenched his fists and returned to Heine’s side.

"That’s more like it!" George, seeing that both parties had regained their senses, happily said: "Come on, let’s all go have a drink. I know the Seven Axes Pub here is quite famous, and they have great beer!"

Sean was a bit surprised that George had chosen Mr. John’s place.

Sean left Jason to handle the matters related to the villa’s wood supplies and went to Mr. John’s with Elijah.

Upon entering the bar, there were only a few guests at this time, and no regulars were there. Sean felt relieved that it saved them some trouble.

When Mr. John saw Sean come in with a few strangers, he hesitated for a moment. Sean shook his head slightly, and Mr. John understood his meaning and didn’t greet them.

They sat down in a corner of the bar, and George waved for the new waiter to bring five beers. Then he said to Sean:

"Sean, Mr. Heine and Mr. David belong to a powerful organization. They are dedicated to finding the ’swastika’ officers who escaped punishment and suffered during that war — especially those executioners, avenging the victims."

"Then you must know that Brad is already dead, and this matter should be over," Sean pretended not to know.

David couldn’t help saying:

"Brad is dead, but most of the wealth he plundered from those victims is still missing! Not only do we need to find Brad and his descendants, but we also need to find those treasures and return them to the surviving families. It was theirs to begin with!"

Sean and Elijah exchanged glances, both knowing such grandiose statements had nothing to do with them.

No matter how nice things may sound, everyone could probably guess what they were truly like!

Maybe once, the organization for revenge did have such purpose, and some people did it that way.

But after so many years, everyone is no longer a child. They know the truth and have seen the true faces of some people. Believing such naive and childish words would be futile.

Just look at the changes in the area of that country since its establishment.

Originally, they were taken in out of pity, allowed to build their country there. But in the end, the host ended up with almost nothing left, and the guests became the biggest landlords.

It’s ridiculous!

Sean remembered that when he was young, a teacher told him that the country was very good to China at that time because they believed that only the Chinese and their people were the most intelligent in the world.

Only when he grew up did he realize how hateful those intellectuals could be.

They could make up anything!

And many people at that time were so pure, they believed it.

It’s like now, many people think that if a certain country is good, everything is good—don’t act like a child, the world isn’t just black and white, there’s gray, and countless colors!

Why do other countries treat you well? Because you’re useful!

There are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests—ah! Some people just can’t be taught! Not even with bloody lessons!

"Do not use that kind of gaze to pay attention to such a sacred matter!" David was obviously displeased with the looks exchanged between Sean and Elijah and immediately voiced his discontent.

"Who do you think you are? Controlling everything?" Sean didn’t speak, but Elijah objected, "You even want to control our eyes? Are you Monkey Sun? Mind your own business!"

"David!"

"Elijah!"

Sean and Heine called to the two young men to stop them.

In fact, both sides knew that they were just showing their true attitudes.

Sean took the initiative and said:

"I did find some information about Brad, and I got some money, but I don’t think it’s necessary to return it. If I don’t take it, those things would eventually turn to ashes."

"Impossible!" David spoke up again.

Sean ignored him, turned to George, and said:

"Mr. George, could you please tell them about the fate of William?"

George laughed awkwardly. Heine and David both knew William’s fate, so there was no need for him to tell them.

"David, if you don’t calm down, you can leave!" There was authority in Heine’s voice, and although David was somewhat dissatisfied, he stopped talking.

Then Heine said to Sean:

"Mr. Knight, I think you have misunderstood. We have no intention of recovering the treasures you risked getting. We mean that Brad had a very important document, and we need that document."

"Document?" Sean pretended to remember and then said:

"At that time, I did indeed take a whole stack of things from the mining site, but I didn’t quite understand them, so I put them away. If you need them, I suppose that’s not impossible..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw smiles appear on Heine and David’s faces!

Sean thought, well!

"However, I think these things should have a price in your eyes, right?"

Upon hearing Sean’s words, the smiles on the two men’s faces froze!

David glared at Sean, obviously thinking he was too shrewd!

How could such a sacred matter be weighed with money?

Heine just hesitated for a moment before reacting and nodded, saying:

"We do have funds for this, but I don’t know the price in Mr. Knight’s mind."

"100,000 dollars." Sean didn’t open with a high price, just a reasonably affordable one.

This surprised both Heine and David a bit.

At first, he seemed to be all about the money, but now he was so generous?

"When can Mr. Knight bring the stuff?"

"If you pay promptly, I’ll bring it here in an hour, and you can wait for me."

"Shall we accompany Mr. Knight to get it?"

"No, there’s no need!"
