Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets
Chapter 341 - 266: No Treasure?

Chapter 341: Chapter 266: No Treasure?

Because of his treasure hunting experience, Sean Knight had some knowledge about this.

Some Chinese people had once thought of buying ancient castles. After all, these castles were portrayed as high-end in some TV programs.

However, once they saw it for themselves, not many of them wanted to live in them. They were not convenient, they were not used to it, and they could not change things as they wanted. In short, it was a lot of trouble.

So although Sean Knight had money and could afford many ancient castles, he absolutely had no intention of buying one.

Buying a small island was a good idea, but he had no such plan for now - he would wait until he wanted to rest.

After looking around, the group drove back.

Early the next day, they went to the headquarters of the World Treasure Hunters’ Union to report, received a copper plate numbered 28, and then had their free time.

When they arrived in Paris, even if they didn’t want to, Sean Knight followed the crowd and went with everyone to see the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, also visited De Gaulle Square and wandered around some luxury boutiques on the Champs Elysées Street.

They bumped into quite a few Chinese tour groups wearing red hats.

There were those with high quality and those with poor quality.

In fact, from an outsider’s perspective, there was not much difference between them and tourists from other countries.

There were two reasons why a group of people in China specifically targeted these uncles and aunts: one was that they genuinely believed that these people had tarnished the image of their fellow countrymen; the other was that they pointed out the faults of their fellow countrymen from a morally high ground.

Even though Sean Knight’s body had been bathed in some energy, walking around the street all day was tiring - mainly mentally exhausting.

Of course, there were also good things - Elijah and the others actually encountered some beautiful girls who greeted them spontaneously.

"I want to learn French!" shouted Douglas Cooper when he got back to the hotel.

It was because at De Gaulle Square, he was the first to be greeted by a beautiful girl, but he didn’t understand anything, and she didn’t speak English either. After struggling to communicate for a few moments, the girl shrugged her shoulders and left with her companion.

Douglas regretted it so much!

If it weren’t for following Sean Knight, Douglas would have chased after her right away.

"I want to learn French!" Douglas roared again.

Everyone else laughed.

They had the same experience, too.

Mainly because these people had a good temperament, the men were handsome, and the women were beautiful. Elijah and the others were all from the military camp, so their temperament was that of a tough guy.

Douglas diligently learned some simple French on his phone overnight, but as for whether it was standard or not, Sean Knight was too embarrassed to comment.

Unfortunately for Douglas, no one came forward to initiate a conversation with him the next day.

"Sigh, sigh!" So all the way, Douglas kept sighing.

Early on the third day, Sean Knight said to Joanna Davis:

"Today, you can go around the city. There are more international brands in Paris. We bought some things in the past two days, but you can still buy more. Let Elijah and the others accompany you. I can’t be with you today."

The treasure hunt competition invitation was for Sean Knight alone.

Sean Knight had specifically asked when he went to register if he could bring someone to join the treasure hunt together.

The organizers gave a negative answer

Sean had no choice but to take his metal detector, which was more for appearances, and took the car provided by the organizing committee directly to the ancient castle.

This time, there was no special treatment like last time with the Americans. Although his number plate was relatively ahead, there was no preferential treatment.

Someone led Sean Knight and the others to the front of the ancient castle.

At this time, there was already a high terrace set up with some barreled water on the side.

More than 30 people had already arrived and were chatting in the open space in front of the high terrace.

There were even reporters carrying video cameras to conduct interviews.

It was quite a spectacle.

Sean Knight looked down at his watch, and there were still ten minutes.

Treasure hunters arrived one after another, most of them carrying metal detectors.

This cheating-like device made traditional treasure hunting a little awkward.

Think about it, a disk-shaped metal detector can detect metal buried more than ten meters underground, and if they perform a carpet search, what could escape it?

When the time came, a middle-aged white man in a suit came up on the high terrace.

"Hello to all treasure hunters from around the world! I am Eric Barber, chairman of the World Treasure Hunters’ Union. Welcome to Bran Castle for our first treasure hunt competition!

I believe you all know the prize money for this competition, a whopping one hundred thousand euros! More importantly, it is said that there is a treasure worth ten million euros buried in this ancient castle waiting for you to find it!

Some people used to say that we treasure hunters are thieves, robbers! But are we? We are not!

We are the discoverers of treasure, and we are the inheritors of civilization! Without us, many cultural relics would be lost, buried underground forever and never see the light of day..."

Eric, who was speaking, was very good at coaxing people and managed to get some young treasure hunters excited.

Sean Knight just sneered, showing some impatience.

Treasure hunting was just for money, no need to be so noble about it.

Eric spoke for more than ten minutes before finally announcing that the treasure hunt competition officially began!

"The entire ancient castle, as long as it is within the surrounding wall, is the search area. If you find something, call a staff member to confirm to avoid disputes with others.

If you need help with excavation, you can also communicate directly with the staff. We have professional excavation equipment here.

Each person will be given a transparent plastic bag, and the items you find will be placed in the bag.
