Chapter 282: Chapter 236: No Body Left Whole - Part 2

Elijah Hastings and the others had indeed made a small fortune with those things.

Even the policeman sold quite a bit, and his smile never faded these days.

When someone approached Sean Knight, he didn’t care much about the money, because those things were still in the spatial realm, and he didn’t intend to sell them.

There were more and more people doing live broadcasts on their mobile phones, even affecting the excavation work.

It was the police who helped maintain order and drove those people away.

After half a month, the excavation work was finally completed.

This time, more than two hundred large and small dinosaur fossils were excavated.

At first, Willow Taylor was keeping track of the specific numbers, but later on, she had to act as a translator, appease the workers, and participate in the excavation work, so Lincoln Harrington took over the recordkeeping.

Sean Knight had Lincoln Harrington erase the record of several dozen fossils of a whole Blue-tailed Dragon.

So when Grant Kenneth finally saw the total number, he was somewhat doubtful, saying:

"I remember the number should be more, right?"

Lincoln Harrington said seriously:

"That’s all there is. The boss said that’s all."

Grant thought for a moment and understood.

This time the investigation and excavation was funded by Sean Knight, who barely interfered with their actions and protected their safety several times.

Grant had no reason to question Sean Knight about this.

Domestic fossils are not allowed to be exported from Mongolia, so these fossils will eventually be given to the Mongolian Academy of Sciences.

Grant and Willow would stay to continue some research, but it didn’t prevent them from cooperating with Sean Knight to complete the current account book work.

This would also have to be handed over in the end.

After the excavation work was completely over, the police breathed a sigh of relief.

He finally found Elijah Hastings and asked if they could hunt a few Yellow Sheep or something to have a last meal together, because they had hunting rifles.

Elijah and the others were more than happy and went with Douglas Cooper to hunt three Yellow Sheep and a wild donkey.

In the evening, Sean Knight and the hired workers had a bonfire dinner together.

Everyone knew that they would part ways the next day, but there was no sadness.

After staying here for a long time, they had made money, but living in tents every day was hard for everyone.

The next day, Mongolian officials came to accept the dinosaur fossils. Grant stayed for the handover, while Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings left in an off-road vehicle.

The police initially planned to investigate Sean Knight and the others more thoroughly.

But seeing them leave in just one off-road vehicle, they dropped the idea.

What could one off-road vehicle do?

If they kept an eye on them, they wouldn’t be able to do anything.

Halfway on the road, Douglas Cooper couldn’t help but ask:

"Boss, those things... "

"Slap!" Elijah Hastings slapped him on the head.

He didn’t say anything, but the look in his eyes said it all.

Don’t talk nonsense!

Sean Knight didn’t answer either.

Although he had activated the Sky Eye, he was not familiar with this car.

He didn’t know if this car had any special equipment installed.

The car drove all the way to Ulan Bator, then the four of them took a plane and transferred directly back to China.

Sean Knight gave the others some time off and took a trip home himself.

After not seeing his parents and brothers for several months, everyone at home was fine, living a stable life every day, but Sean had to deal with some heart-pounding matters from time to time.

So although it had only been a few months, it felt like a long time.

Returning home, he felt greatly relieved. He could put everything down and relax, not having to worry about anything. He didn’t even need to set foot in the kitchen. Every day after eating, he’d throw the bowl and live carefree.

If it wasn’t for having to call Joanna Davis every day to adjust time zones, he really wouldn’t want to go out again.

However, while he had no problems, others had troubles that found their way to his doorstep.

This time, people from the China Biological Science Institute came to visit.

Sean Knight and his friends had returned, but they didn’t know much about the video they filmed.

However, the video had gone viral on the Internet,

Not many people had seen such a huge insect!

Although there was no direct video, those holes, along with so many consistent descriptions, were enough to prove it was real.

Later, even a Mongolian television station went for an interview and filmed some of the collected insect skins.

This basically confirmed it.

Some people collected the insect skins, some sold them at high prices, and some hid them away.

Since Sean Knight had appeared in the video earlier, he was introduced and praised highly in this short video!

He was called a foresee, the one who fired the first shot, and fearless in the face of danger.

Anyway, he was highly praised.

People who didn’t know him thought he was a great boss and a brave young man.

But those who knew him were quite curious.

It was also mentioned in the video that he was a Chinese person.

So this time, people from the Biological Science Institute approached Sean Knight, hoping to get some tissues from that kind of creature.

After confirming the identity of these people, Sean Knight gave them a piece of skin and a few teeth.

He still had plenty of these things, and it was a good idea to let these government people take them out for research.

The people from the Institute didn’t ask for it in vain; they applied for funds and gave Sean Knight 10,000 dollars.

The person who came was very reasonable and said apologetically:

"I know the market price of this thing is far more than this amount, but we don’t have much funding available..."

"It’s fine." Sean Knight didn’t plan to make money from this nor did he find the amount too little or pretended to be generous without accepting.

After these people left, the news somehow spread, and people came to Sean Knight one after another, all hoping to buy the insect skin.

They implied that money was not an issue,

As long as they had the goods.

Sean Knight was so annoyed that he hid away and went to Ocean City to find Howard Richardson.

"Yo, the busy man, how come you have time to find me?" Howard Richardson was really surprised.

"I need your Uncle Melvin Richardson’s help." Sean thought of the many Song Dynasty treasures in the spatial realm, some of which needed to be repaired, and others needed appraisal.

However, thinking about the treasures, Sean hesitated for a moment, feeling that it might not be appropriate to release them at the moment.

But those things in the Buddhist temples were all relatively intact and could be appraised first.

"Appraisal? What good stuff have you found again?" Howard Richardson looked very curious.

"I don’t know if it’s good or not. But I’m sure you don’t know either." Sean didn’t give him face. "With your eyesight, I guess it’s useless even if you look at it!"

"Don’t underestimate me." Howard Richardson said proudly, "I’ve been sneaking into my Uncle Melvin’s place to learn and have gained a lot of knowledge. Why don’t you show it to me?"

"Alright, you have a look." Sean took out a wooden Buddha statue about 20 centimeters high from his backpack. The statue weighed about one kilogram. It was placed in the center of the underground room of the temple and should be a valuable item.

It still faintly smelled fragrant.

Howard Richardson took the statue, weighed it in his hand, and guessed:

"Is this made of boxwood? It should be close! I can tell it’s not sandalwood, the color is not right, nor yellow rosewood, the weight is not quite right. It’s also not Golden Phoebe wood..."

Looking back and forth, Howard Richardson laughed:

"It should be an antique, at least from the early Qing Dynasty, right? But the carving is really amazing, it looks lifelike. Although I can’t tell what kind of Buddha it is..."

"It should be a Bodhisattva." Sean Knight added.

"That’s right. Although I can’t tell which Bodhisattva it is, the craftsmanship is really superb! Look at this small statue, but the hair on the head is very fine and follows the wood grain... Huh? This piece doesn’t have wood grain..."

Sean Knight watched him talking nonsense and simply took back the Buddha statue into his hand and smiled:

"Alright, alright, don’t pretend here, let your Uncle Melvin find a reliable appraiser, I’ll pay for it. You talking like this, I feel like it’s disrespectful to the statue."

"Don’t..." Howard Richardson was still looking for a feeling, and now that it was taken away, he felt a little unsatisfied.

"Alright." Seeing that he couldn’t get it from Sean Knight’s hand, Howard had to say:

"I’ll call my Uncle Melvin. He’ll be so happy to know you’ve come."
