Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets
Chapter 439 - 315: The First Order Issued

Chapter 439: Chapter 315: The First Order Issued

After looking at the cash, gold, and those documents, Cheryl Suweton frowned slightly.

Undeterred, Sean Knight turned to Lincoln Harrington and said:

"You should go call Douglas Cooperback— if nothing’s happening over there. I think we’re safe now— we are really well hidden, and it’s unlikely anyone will find us here."

Harrington left as commanded, Suweton didn’t seem to care, she looked around and said:

"There might be a lot of these things, but their total value probably wouldn’t exceed one hundred million dollars — and the most important thing is that it would take a long time to liquidate these weapons."

Sean pitched in:

"Sweden will certainly charge us heavy taxes— I even suspect they’ll confiscate these treasures."

Suweton’s expression paused - as a royal family member, the royal family couldn’t interfere with government actions, after all, currently, the royal family was just comprised of nobles and not in power.

If the government needed to confiscate these items, they would have no way to stop them.

"So my suggestion is to first take away the valuable things, the gold, and cash, then seal up this place. Gradually selling these boxes, or rather finding a buyer with strong financial power, we supply the items and they pay and transport them. We can even reasonably lower the price."

"This cash and gold are worth less than twenty million dollars." Cheryl was still somewhat dissatisfied as it was a lot less than the Schutzstaffel treasure she imagined.

Sean stayed silent, but it was Elijah Hastings who interjected :

"Mrs. Suweton, think about it -- how long did it take us to find this treasure?"

At these words, Cheryl held her tongue.

Indeed!

The total value of the treasure, even from when we started looking for clues to find the crown, to now, it’s not more than two months!

It only took two months from start to finish to find a treasure worth one hundred million dollars, what’s there to be dissatisfied about?

Having realized this, Cheryl quickly changed her statement:

"Yeah, I never imagined that we’d find the treasure so soon."

"Think of Devon, he’s been here for three years now. Despite this, he hasn’t found the right place—or perhaps he found it but didn’t realize it was the right place. "

Elijah pointedly emphasized the difference between Sean’s treasure hunt and the other treasure hunters.

Cheryl nodded in agreement again.

Sean did feel the treasure hunt this time was a bit disappointing, after all, the treasure hidden by the Schutzstaffel contained a breathtaking cross.

However, now all we found were some cash, gold, and weapons.

Well, we were just being too greedy.

At this point, there was a sound at the entrance of the cave, Sean illuminated it with an emergency light, and saw both Lincoln Harrington and Douglas Cooper had crawled in.

"Damn! So many boxes? ... Are these guns? Damn! World War II antique guns, these are good stuff!"

Unexpectedly, Douglas turned out to be a connoisseur— he was playing around with a rifle in his hands.

"Come take a look," Sean called out, "We’ll need to haul these out in a moment."

Regardless, the gold and cash have to be moved.

Even if not much is left.

Cheryl nodded, she had already accepted the "truth" that there were only these many things in the treasure.

"With so many boxes, how much would they be worth?" Douglas was practically salivating, "Inside... Are they all guns?"

"There are also some documents, cash, and gold. But not much of the latter." Sean said, "I plan to get the gold and cash out first, then seal up this cave.

Let’s spend a few days looking around the vicinity of the small town, pretending to have found nothing, while secretly contacting buyers. "

As Sean said this, everyone understood.

We cannot do this in the open.

Being open might gain us a lot of fame— as it’s quite impressive to be able to find the Schutzstaffel’s treasure in this day and age.

But for someone as practical as Sean, it would be of no use.

Instead, it would only bring a series of troubles — many countries and organizations would claim responsibility for this treasure — or rather, claim ownership.

So, it’s better to keep things quiet.

It’s always best to be rich but quiet!

"Well, let’s not waste more time, let’s get moving!"

None of the five of them were idle— Sean and his three comrades were full of energy as they had absorbed energy, so their strength was sufficient. Cheryl, although a woman, was not weak and she had no problems carrying a backpack with twenty kilograms of gold.

After they moved out all of the cash and gold, the four members of Sean’s party buried the entrance to the cave.

Elijah and his two comrades were experts at camouflaging. They quickly took some soil and stones from nearby to disguise the cave entrance so that it didn’t look much different from the surrounding area.

"Let’s come back tomorrow to check— the color of the soil will change after being exposed to the sun, so we can do a little more camouflaging then so the entrance becomes unnoticeable. "

Sean naturally believed in their skills.

The two cars left the area. It was only noon, so they drove the other end of the lake and pretended to look around. While in fact, they were admiring the scenery on the lake while counting the amount of money in the boxes of cash.

"Based on the quantity, 50,000 British Pounds, 1 million Deutschmarks, and five hundred thousand US dollars." Harrington reported the numbers. "Deutschmarks are no longer in circulation. Theoretically, the British Pounds and US dollars can still be used."

"Of course we can’t directly use them, only a fool would." Cheryl took over. "Some of these notes have been used, but their condition is very good. So they can be treated as collectibles without a problem."

Sean was somewhat regretful. There was too much paper money, and having them as collectibles would only saturate the market—so they’d just have to be left in the spatial realm for a while.
