Chapter 278: Chapter 234: Exposed! _2

Sean Knight thought about it and agreed. Even if it was double the salary, compared to his gains this time, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Those who stayed and heard they would receive double the salary were delighted, and some even ran over to shake Grant’s hand and thank him.

Douglas Cooper and Willow Taylor went to the small town, and when they returned, they brought back several cars!

Douglas got out of the car and quickly approached Sean, reporting:

"Boss, things are a bit tricky. After those people left, they did spread the word about this incident. But what’s baffling is that not only did we attract more workers, but some young people also voluntarily came over..."

At this time, young men and women had already gotten out of the cars that followed. They were all dressed in fashionable and somewhat eccentric clothes.

They all held their mobile phones and searched around. Some people ran directly to the local residents who hadn’t left the town to ask about the situation.

The one who got the information first sprinted to the location of the original tents and furiously took pictures of the two caves!

Sean instantly realized that they were a group of bloggers!

Heh, in the age of short videos, these people are everywhere.

However, they would really go all out for some online traffic.

"Should we drive them away?" asked Elijah Hastings, frowning at them.

"Leave them alone, just organize our people to work." Sean said, "As long as they don’t interfere with our excavation mission."

Although Elijah didn’t know why Sean insisted on letting Grant continue the excavation, he didn’t ask further. He conveyed Sean’s words to Grant and then organized the workers to go to the excavation site.

The young people wanted to go over and film, but Lincoln Harrington and Douglas Cooper chased them away with their guns.

There was no signal for mobile phones here except for satellite phones, so the videos they filmed could only be uploaded when they returned to the town.

So some people left immediately after filming the two caves.

Some others probably wanted to find firsthand information, so they looked around. Some may have heard what Sean said last night, so they directly ran up the mountain. Even more people directly wanted to interview Sean but were chased away by Elijah.

With nothing to do, Sean also went to the excavation site.

He didn’t participate in the excavation but activated the Sky Eye to see if there were any underground caves left by that thing.

Sean didn’t want to experience the panic from last night again.

Perhaps Sean’s impression of shooting at that thing last night left a deep impression on the locals, so when he was here, the workers felt at ease, and their movements returned to normal.

Grant noticed this and quietly said to Sean:

"Mr. Knight, their efficiency has improved a lot with you here!"

Sean thought, I might as well stay a little longer then.

By noon, the video filming people left one after another. They left with disappointment because there was no activity around for half a day.

If it weren’t for the fresh soil around the immeasurable caves, some people would doubt that it was counterfeit.

Sean thought everything could finally settle down, but unexpectedly, not long after they started working in the afternoon, several more cars arrived.

These cars drove directly to the entrances of the two caves and stopped.

The people who got out of the cars took equipment from the car. Sean had good eyesight and saw that they were holding cameras with long cables.

What an idea!

Indeed, these people lowered the cable-connected cameras into the caves and observed the images transmitted back through the television.

Sean gestured to Elijah, who took Willow over.

From a distance, Sean saw a large roll of cable being released, and it seemed that it hadn’t reached the bottom yet. It seemed that the caves were truly immeasurable!

These people were also disappointed, but the cables they prepared were only this long, so there was nothing they could do.

So they stayed for a while, took back the cables, tried it in the second cave, still couldn’t reach the bottom, and finally left.

Elijah and Willow returned and reported to Sean:

"They are a team from a famous local video live streamer. They brought cameras with 100 meters of fiber optic cable this time. However, the caves seem to be bottomless, and the cameras found nothing but the cave itself."

"What are their plans?" Sean asked.

"Release the edited footage tonight and come back tomorrow with longer cables."

Sean Knight didn’t underestimate them. After all, those short-video bloggers and famous UP hosts had numerous fans, and it wouldn’t be difficult for them to stir things up.

The main thing was their influence.

"Just don’t affect us."

That day, many bloggers released these videos.

Although only the caves were shown and no specific objects were filmed, the live streamers were well aware of the appeal, and their thrilling titles attracted plenty of onlookers.

Later, the person using the cameras with cables didn’t see anything in the end, but the deep cave was real, unlike those who only filmed two caves, which could have been dug by themselves or replaced with other caves.

So this indeed attracted a wave of followers.

This news immediately spread.

At first, everyone was watching the one with the cable cameras, but big data soon started pushing others to them too.

Then the matter got bigger and bigger, and the people involved—the treasure-hunting team that had gone to dig for dinosaur fossils—also naturally attracted attention from people.

Sean Knight didn’t hide his face at the time, and as the first person to shoot an unidentified creature in the interviewees’ accounts, he naturally received a lot of attention.

In specific circles, Sean Knight’s fame soared overnight.

Then David saw it.

David knew that Heine Victor had been keeping an eye on Sean Knight, so he immediately informed him about the matter.

"Sean went to Mongolia?" Heine Victor had always suspected Sean Knight, but had no evidence. He had been watching Sean to see if he was heading to Europe to hunt for treasures. If so, Sean would certainly be a major focus.

He never expected Sean Knight to actually go to Mongolia!

"The report says he’s funding people to excavate dinosaur fossils," David explained.

"It must be a cover!" Heine Victor stated confidently, "Sean Knight wouldn’t be interested in dinosaur fossils! He must be looking for treasure! And I believe, it’s very likely that he found a clue from the ancient books I introduced and which Mr. Hawkins sold!"

David knew some of the news about Sean Knight and was a bit surprised:

"I thought Sean Knight’s biggest gain from the ancient books was those bamboo slips and several million dollars from the sale. I didn’t expect..."

"The treasure Sean Knight is going for under the cover must be extraordinary!" Heine Victor concluded.

"Should we...?"

"No need." Heine Victor waved his hand, "Sean Knight is a capable and decisive person. If we don’t have evidence that he’s our opponent, it’s better not to provoke him."

"What if we have evidence?"

"Then destroy him directly! Being an opponent of such a person will be very troublesome!"

Heine Victor’s decisive conclusion surprised David a bit.

He could see that Heine Victor admired Sean Knight.

"David, remember one thing, our business comes first. Under any circumstances, my personal opinions cannot be placed before our business!"

Heine Victor noticed David’s confusion, patted him on the shoulder, and left after leaving this remark.

Sean Knight wasn’t aware that he had been recognized in the video taken from a distance.

He didn’t mind, though.

After all, he was a treasure hunter, or rather a treasure hunter. And for some, dinosaur fossils, particularly complete and rare ones, were also treasures.

At the end of the day, a complete Blue-tailed Dragon skull was excavated, and looking at the skull about as high as himself on the ground, Sean Knight was truly amazed!

Maybe he should just collect it after it’s dug up.

Setting up an exhibition hall in his own villa and displaying a complete dinosaur fossil would be nice!

Sean Knight made up his mind.

Grant Kenneth was still unaware that the Blue-tailed Dragon had been reserved by Sean Knight and was excitedly researching it.
