Chapter 242: Chapter 215: The New Treasure Hunt Event_2

"I think you should understand, or be able to figure it out; the stories about me spreading in the treasure hunters’ circle right now are all successful. Although I haven’t been in this line for a long time, at least I haven’t failed yet."

Sean Knight had the capital to be proud.

Many veteran treasure hunters and treasure hunter hunters fell short in front of treasures like those of Peter Smith and Hans Hunter, but in the end, only Sean himself harvested the gold.

Just this point alone was enough to disdain more than 99% of his colleagues.

Luke Paris thought for a moment, then said seriously:

"Then, I think I can trust you."

"Tell me the situation first, I might not take it." Luke Paris thought he had given Sean Knight a chance to cooperate with him, but he didn’t know that Sean also needed to choose a partner.

Seeing how Sean was treating him, Luke couldn’t help but get angry.

"Do you know that if I let this news out, there will be a large number of treasure hunters coming to me to cooperate voluntarily?" Luke raised his voice.

"You are welcome to go find them." Sean really didn’t care, and he wasn’t in a hurry at all. "We can happily end this conversation here; by the way, it’s my treat today."

Luke opened his mouth wide, he didn’t expect Sean to be so assertive!

However, thinking about Sean’s "achievements", Luke had to admit that Sean had the capital to be willful!

"Well, let me tell you about it first." Luke finally decided to try and work with Sean, so he decided to give a limited amount of information:

"I’m a reporter, and I write biographies part-time for some elderly people. Some time ago, I was writing a biography for an old banker when I came across a piece of news."

As Luke was speaking, he looked at Sean.

Sean signaled him to continue.

Luke went on:

"He said that when he was young, the bank he worked for was responsible for part of the storage and transportation of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s gold.

Then, there was a bank robbery, with heavy weaponry, and they stole almost $5 million worth of gold from their vault - $5 million at that time."

Luke looked at Sean and explained:

"That was more than thirty years ago, which is now worth seven to eight times as much."

Sean nodded, without asking anything more.

Sean’s attitude made Luke a little anxious.

If the other party always acted like this, the initiative would never come to their side, and there would be no way to carry out the remaining plan.

He had to arouse this man’s interest!

"Based on my analysis, this batch of gold was actually never spent by the robbers!"

"Huh? How did you analyze that?" Sean was barely interested.

"According to the old banker, when these robbers robbed the bank, two of them were injured, but no one died.

Afterwards, the police investigated and determined the robbers’ whereabouts, then assembled the police force to surround the robbers’ residence, and a gun battle ensued.

According to later news reports, three policemen were killed, and all four robbers were shot dead.

However, in reality, although the robbers were dead, the gold was not recovered, and the case became a mystery."

"The gold wasn’t recovered? Where is it hidden?" Sean asked again.

Luke just smiled and didn’t say anything.

Sean understood, tapped the table lightly, and said:

"You mean that the treasure we need to look for is actually this gold, right? Or, you have already narrowed down the general scope, but you need someone with expertise to help you find it, right?"

"That’s right." Luke had the appearance of holding all the cards, taking a sip of wine, "I spent about two years investigating the matter, and finally managed to narrow the scope down to a small area. With a professional, I believe it won’t be long before we get that gold! Once we have it, we can retire!"

Sean tapped the table again.

In theory, the matter was indeed feasible.

However, thinking about it, it seemed like a castle in the air, entirely dependent on Luke’s word. Nobody could be sure whether it would all come to nothing in the end.

"I advise you not to think about other ways. No one should remember that incident now except for me. Even if you search the internet, you may not be able to find it. After all, it happened more than thirty years ago. And at that time, to cover up the incident, the official reports didn’t mention the gold. The police involved are basically retired or deceased, so there are hardly any people left who know about the incident."

Luke’s meaning was very clear: this matter simply couldn’t bypass him.

"If we cooperate, how will the shares be divided?"

"I want seventy percent." Luke raised his chin, "I’ve been doing everything in the early stages. I haven’t done much else in the past two years, and I’ve devoted all my time and effort to this. My whole life is staked on this - "

He didn’t continue, but his gaze was firm.

"I take the remaining thirty percent?" Sean Knight was already planning to give up.

Several tens of millions of dollars, thirty percent of which is ten million?

Actually, it might be worth a try.

"No, you take twenty percent. There’s another partner who’s been helping me out these last two years. We need his cooperation in the future, so he’ll take ten percent."

"Then you find someone else." Sean Knight could barely consider the thirty percent, but for twenty percent, it wasn’t worth it.

Luke didn’t expect Sean to give up so easily. He lowered his voice and said urgently:

"Do you understand what’s at stake here? We’ve already taken care of all the preliminary work!

All you need to do is find the gold within the scope we’ve defined! Twenty percent means almost ten million dollars!

It might only take you half a month, or even a week! Even billionaires can’t make money like this!"

Sean shook his head:

"If I participate in this treasure hunt, I’ll find it as long as it’s there. So, my lowest offer is thirty percent! If not, you can find someone else for this!"

Sean doesn’t lack money, and he doesn’t intend to break his own rules.

Luke hesitated.

He knew rationally that he should now switch to negotiating with another treasure hunter.

However, this matter had dragged on for two years, and his family was on the verge of falling apart.

He couldn’t afford to wait any longer.

"How about... giving you twenty-five percent..." Luke tried to compromise.

After all, among treasure hunters, Sean was currently the most popular and lucky one.

Luke felt that his luck had been quite bad these last two years and needed a lucky person to help change it.

"No, thirty percent, not a bit less." Sean insisted.

"Alright, alright." Luke finally compromised. However, he consoled himself that even if he took sixty percent, finding the gold would be worth twenty or thirty million dollars, enough to improve his current situation and live a comfortable life!

"Fine, let’s meet tomorrow and I’ll introduce you to the other partner and discuss signing a cooperation agreement."

Since Luke had agreed, he was excited and happy. He finished his drink in one gulp and stood up, saying:

"Leave your contact information. I’ll contact you tomorrow."

"Okay." Sean left his mobile phone number for him.

After Luke left, Elijah and the others came over.

Douglas Cooper couldn’t wait to ask:

"Boss, is this a treasure hunt?"

"Yes." Sean looked at his eager gaze and smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ll take you with me this time."

Luke’s words were vague, but Sean felt that he was now somewhat well-off - good men don’t stand in dangerous places - and bringing his three bodyguards along wouldn’t be a big deal.

At worst, he could just say they were his assistants.

"Great!" Douglas Cooper clenched his fist, "Finally, I have a chance to put my skills to use!"

Elijah patted him and said calmly:

"If you go with that attitude, I suggest you don’t. You can’t be impulsive when it comes to treasure hunting!"

"Don’t worry!" Douglas laughed, "You know I don’t drag my feet when it comes to work!"

Seeing that the three of them knew what they were doing, Sean didn’t say much more.

What’s left is to get ready.

In fact, Sean was somewhat looking forward to it.
