Chapter 455: Chapter 324: Spit it Out if You Ate Mine!_2

Up to the second floor.

There is a hidden sentry at the entrance of the first floor, and two more in the living room.

No matter what, if you break in from the first floor, it’s impossible not to alert the bodyguards.

So just go straight to the second floor.

The two of them easily took turns climbing up to the window on the second floor, fiddling with the window latch, and opened it to go in.

With the night vision device, Elijah Hastings saw that there were three people living on the second floor.

A bigger girl in a bedroom by herself. A woman with a little boy in another bedroom.

He looked at Sean Knight.

Sean Knight activated his Sky Eye, glanced around, and found out that not only was there money and jewelry in the room with the woman and the boy, but also a safe.

He gestured and the two of them quietly moved to the bedroom.

Sean took out a compressed spray nozzle bottle, stuck it in the crack of the door, and began spraying the anesthetic inside.

No need to completely anesthetize; just enough to make people sluggish, enough for the two of them to react quickly.

After spraying a few times, Sean stopped, and started listening to the breathing inside.

When the breathing became slow and prolonged, he nodded gently.

He twisted the door lock, but it didn’t open, obviously it was locked from the inside.

Elijah gestured, planning to climb in through the window from the outside and open it from the inside.

Sean nodded, realizing that he hadn’t learned to pick locks yet and that he should definitely learn this skill in the future.

Elijah opened the window and went in, then deepened the woman’s sleep with ether and opened the door.

After Sean entered quietly, he went straight to the woman’s dressing table.

Elijah watched him.

Sean flipped open the woman’s jewelry box, but didn’t take anything out, instead he put it aside, opened the secret box underneath the dressing table, revealing gold bars inside.

Sean packed up the dozen or so gold bars and turned to the bedroom closet.

He opened the closet, pushed the clothes aside, and exposed the wooden board behind.

He tapped lightly, searched, and opened the secret box behind the closet, revealing stacks of US dollars inside.

All of them were fifty and hundred-dollar bills, totaling several hundred thousand.

He packed everything into the backpack and took it away.

After putting the closet back in place, Sean scanned the room again, his eyes landing on a painting hanging on the wall opposite the bed.

There is actually a safe behind the painting, but Sean doesn’t know where the key to the safe is, and now is not the time to search for it.

A bit regretful, but he gestured to Elijah anyway, and they left the bedroom.

Next target, the study.

The study on the second floor isn’t locked, Sean and Elijah quietly entered and saw a few items displayed on the shelves in the study.

A red coral, which Sean had seen in the sea not long ago, about 30 centimeters tall, with seven or eight branches and looked very pretty. Sean took it without any hesitation.

A bronze wine cup, the patina on it showed that it had been played with, and Sean still didn’t hesitate.

On an inconspicuous bookshelf in the study, there’s a snack box, Sean opened it, and saw it was filled with gold coins. He took them all!

With no other valuables left, they both nodded and left the place after a quick scan.

Quietly through the window, they went to the first floor, and Sean became increasingly cautious. The backpack was filled with valuable items, especially the delicate coral, so they had to be extra careful.

After leaving the courtyard, Sean and Elijah exchanged a smile and went back to the hotel.

At this point, Douglas Cooper had already returned.

"Come on, let’s split the loot!" Sean didn’t hide the illegality of his actions, but this only made it clearer that he sometimes had to go against foreign laws.

"We found 100,000 dollars and about 10,000 US dollars’ worth of Philippine pesos in the flat." Lincoln Harrington reported and put a backpack of money on the table.

"The red coral is mine." Sean, eyeing the nice red coral and not hiding his intentions, said, "Add your cash to this cash..."

Sean Knight piled up the US dollars he had taken from the villa on the money that Lincoln had poured out: "You guys can split this money, I won’t give you anything else."

"Okay!"

Each of them could get around 150,000 dollars, which was a considerable income for Elijah and the others.

As for whether they would be equal partners with Sean, it had never really crossed their minds.

From the time Sean had allowed them to absorb energy, Elijah, Douglas, and Lincoln knew that what they owed Sean could never be repaid in a lifetime.

Moreover, because of Elijah, neither Douglas nor Lincoln would ever betray Sean.

For this reason, they took whatever Sean gave them, without refusing or being polite.

"Alright, get a good night’s sleep tonight. Let’s have a good stroll in Manila tomorrow, do some shopping, and continue our treasure hunt the day after tomorrow."

Sean knew that just working was not enough. Elijah and the others were also human and needed rest, so he said this.

Elijah and the others put the money in their backpacks and went back to their rooms.

Sean put the red coral into the spatial realm and looked at the gold coins.

The gold coins had foreign characters and foreign figures on them. It looked like they were from The Great Voyage period.

After taking a rough look, he found that there were about one hundred of these gold coins.

After putting them away, Sean’s focus turned to the bronze wine cup.

Sky Eye told Sean that not only was the wine cup genuine, but it was also from the middle and late Shang Dynasty and had a five-character inscription on it!

That was really incredible!

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a national treasure. However, Sean was not very familiar with the characters engraved on the cup. He played with it for a while and eventually felt uneasy, so he put it back in his spatial realm, planning to send it to the Xinjiang Museum for an expert’s opinion when he had time.

Recovering all these profits in one night was more than enough to cover up the losses, so Sean felt refreshed and got a good night’s sleep.

Caprio’s family didn’t notice anything wrong that day, it was only the second day when his woman was tidying her dressing table that she discovered the hidden objects were missing. She screamed in surprise, immediately informed the security guards, and called Caprio.

Within two days, almost all the clues in the villa had been destroyed, and even the private detective they hired couldn’t find any results.

When Caprio heard about the losses, he was furious!

There was no need to say that he guessed it might be Sean who had done it.

Caprio called Sean directly.

"Sean, you’ve gone too far! How could you break into my house and steal things?"

"Caprio! What nonsense are you talking about? Are you still dreaming?" Sean naturally wouldn’t admit it, "I have nothing to say to you, if you dare to slander me again, I will get the world’s most famous lawyer to sue you and make you lose everything!"

Sean didn’t waste any words with him and hung up the phone.

There was no need to say more to people like that.

Action is the best answer!

Caprio gritted his teeth in hatred, but he knew that once the items were in Sean’s hands, he could hardly expect them to return.

But how could he give up?

However, now was crucial for the excavation of the ruins, and it was not a good time for him to leave.

But Caprio was not easily provoked. He immediately started making phone calls and shaking up people.

Although he didn’t know if Sean was still in Manila, he guessed that he must be in the Philippines, as there should be at least a dozen place names in the third diary, and Sean would probably not stop searching.

As long as he could find Sean’s whereabouts, he would be able to carry out his revenge!

Caprio was determined. He had always been the one to take revenge on others, not the other way around.

This time he had been tricked by Sean, how could he swallow this anger?

Unbeknownst to Sean, Caprio was already looking into his whereabouts. He now stood with Elijah and the others across the road from an old courtyard, observing the large yard.

"Boss, this isn’t easy. The owner of this courtyard used to be a rich second-generation. Although his family has declined now, he’s not yet in a situation where he cannot afford food. Moreover, he’s rather conservative and cautious, and it doesn’t seem easy to infiltrate."

After listening to Douglas’ report, Sean stroked his chin, thinking of a strategy.

This place was his next target!
