Chapter 273: Chapter 232: Tea and Ruin

Sean Knight immediately activated Sky Eye and looked down through the cave entrance!

However, what puzzled him was that he didn’t see any horse carriages, skeletons, or boxes of treasures such as gold and silver.

So where did this yellow powder come from?

Sean stepped forward and wiped a bit of powder with his hand.

Elijah Hastings hurriedly warned:

"Boss, be careful! Watch out for something coming out!"

He had seen that thing bite the wolf. To say that he had lingering fears was not wrong at all.

Sean nodded. Although he knew there was no such thing underground nearby, he couldn’t explain it to Elijah, so he stepped back and looked at his fingertip carefully.

The powder was hard. In fact, it couldn’t be called powder; it was more like a fine grain of golden sand!

Indeed, this should be golden powder!

This thing eats gold too?

Sean guessed, otherwise, how could there be gold powder here?

However, he didn’t discover any hidden treasures nearby, so where did this gold powder come from?

"Boss, what is this?" Elijah also wiped a bit when he saw there was no movement, but he didn’t recognize it.

"It should be gold powder." Sean shared his guess, "Does this look like the golden sand we found in the rainforest?"

"A little." Elijah looked carefully and said, "But this is finer."

After coming out of the jungle, Elijah and the others not only got their share, but the gold sand also added a sum to their income, so they had a deep impression of it.

"Could there be a gold vein underneath?" Elijah guessed, "And perhaps, the gold mine of very high quality?"

Sean suddenly realized: "Yeah! This possibility might be larger!"

He activated Sky Eye again and looked down through a downward cave.

While looking, they walked down along the mountain wall, and lo and behold, after a few meters, golden veins appeared within the range of Sky Eye’s vision - the scattered golden sand mixed in the rocks. It was indeed a rich mine!

One ton of ore should be able to produce a lot of gold!

He followed the vein down to the foot of the mountain, where the vein continued underground.

The area was vast!

It’s a shame they didn’t have mining equipment. Otherwise, this mine had great potential!

"How about it, boss?" Elijah followed and asked.

"I guess there is a gold vein here," Sean said, "But I don’t know the reserves. Besides, we don’t have much background here. We might as well find some professionals to explore this place. Maybe we could mine a lot of gold!"

"Boss, actually, if you’re not planning to mine it yourself, you can sell the news." Elijah thought for a moment and said, "This kind of news should be worth some money, right?"

Huh? Not bad!

Sean thought Elijah’s idea was, indeed, a good one!

Shouldn’t some people investing in the Country of Mongolia be interested in such a vein?

"Alright, when the time comes to sell it, I’ll give you a bonus," Sean said with a smile.

Elijah smiled:

"Then I’ll thank the boss for the two of them!"

Sean took out his mobile phone and recorded the coordinates - although there was no signal, the compass system was still available, showing latitude and longitude values.

Then they continued to move forward.

Just then, a garbled voice came through the walkie-talkie:

"Boss, there’s a robbery here!"

Suddenly, gunshots came from the walkie-talkie!

Sean and Elijah looked at each other, immediately took out their guns, and ran towards the car.

Gunshots came intermittently. After a while, more sounds and voices became somewhat distant and distorted:

"Give us your treasures! We only want the treasures, no killing..."

"Ah—Webb Crete is injured!" This was Willow Taylor’s voice.

"Bang! Bang!"

More gunshots.

And then there were faint sounds of cursing, not from their team.

"...Give up the treasures... You’re running out of bullets..."

"Don’t shoot, don’t shoot! We have no money!"

This was Jenny’s voice, sounding somewhat desperate.

"Bang! Bang!" More gunshots, this time closer, but it was clear the intervals were getting longer.

"...No missiles... I don’t want to die..."

This was Jenny’s crying voice.

"...Over there... The boss is over there, the boss drove the car over there, they have money in that car..."

Jenny’s voice.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Willow Taylor scolded.

"It’s true! They found the treasure on Gobi Beach. All the stuff is in that car..."

"Smack!" A slap came, then a scream, which sounded like Jenny’s.

"...We’ll spare you..."Someone far away was yelling.

Then, the sound of an engine faded away.

Lincoln Harrington’s voice came through the walkie-talkie:

"Boss, boss! Captain Hastings, Captain Hastings!"

"Received! What’s the situation?" Elijah glanced at Sean and asked with the walkie-talkie.

"Captain Hastings! Someone came to rob us, we killed or injured three, there are probably seven or eight left. Two cars are now heading in your direction. I’m planning to let Douglas stay here, I’ll follow them..."

"How’s the situation on your side?" Elijah asked without answering.

"Webb Crete’s injured, and Jenny exposed your whereabouts," Lincoln said, while Douglas added, "Lincoln was bitten on the arm."

"It’s nothing, just a scratch!"

"What’s their equipment?"

"AK-47s, and someone was holding a rocket launcher, but they didn’t fire, so we don’t know if it’s real or fake! But I suspect they already know of our situation; otherwise, they wouldn’t have found us!"
