Chapter 488: Chapter 341: Well Played with Both Front and Back Hands!_2

"Mr. Knight, you’re saying that those deposit receipts are still valid? That I can still withdraw money?" Frederick Hall suddenly felt hopeful.

"You can wait and see. But I’m only giving you one week. After a week, I won’t accept them anymore." Sean Knight waved his hand, "Actually, we both understand, it’s just that I have other uses for them."

Unable to obtain any useful information, Frederick Hall bitterly thanked Sean Knight and left his villa.

Douglas Cooper asked Sean Knight:

"Boss, you just let him go like that? And you even gave him money? Shouldn’t this kind of corrupt official be punished?"

"Don’t worry, the cut we made today has already hurt him enough. From now on, we will cut him bit by bit." Sean Knight laughed and said:

"If you guys don’t think it’s enough, you can follow him and rob him of the 5 million dollars- after all, neither you nor Lincoln Harrington have shown your faces to him, so he won’t recognize you."

Douglas’s eyes lit up, he thought this was a great idea!

He turned to look at Elijah Hastings.

With Elijah taking the lead, he couldn’t tell if Sean Knight’s words were a joke or serious, so he just looked at Elijah.

If Elijah thinks it’s alright, then he would do it.

Elijah then looked back at Sean Knight.

"Boss, can we do it?"

"Of course!" Sean Knight said with an air of certainty, "There’s nothing we can’t do. Anyway, I’m clear with his transactions.

As long as you guys clean up after yourselves, don’t let him suspect that I’m involved, then this can definitely be done. After all, his money isn’t clean, so it’s better to take it back and do something good with it, right?"

"Let’s do it, then." Elijah, hearing this, also got spirited, "You two rest assured, I’ll be watching from the outside."

"No, no, no. The two of us will handle it." Douglas waved his hand, "You keep an eye on the boss. How will we deal with it if someone else comes and it’s dangerous here?"

Although Sean Knight previously listed them as partners during the treasure hunt, all three of them were very clear about their roles. The three of them were Sean Knight’s bodyguards and employees.

"Alright, you guys be careful." Elijah thought about it, although Brown was gone, who could guarantee that there wouldn’t be someone after Brown?

He knew very well that Sean Knight had offended quite a few people during his treasure hunts in the past year or two.

That night, Douglas and Lincoln arrived at Frederick Hall’s villa.

Frederick was messing around with his female assistant, naked, when he was forced by ’Batman-masked’ Douglas to transfer the newly-acquired 5 million dollars to an anonymous account.

He actually wanted to resist, but Douglas placed a knife near his private parts, and he didn’t dare to say another word.

Douglas came back with a big bag, excitedly placed it on the table, and took out the items one by one:

"Boss, look at all this stuff... hey! I didn’t expect this guy to have such a solid foundation!"

Among the items Douglas took out were gold bars, cash in US dollars, British pounds, euros, and some jewelry...

Sean Knight glanced over and saw that these items were worth at least several hundred thousand dollars.

Sean Knight laughed:

"You’ve really scraped the bottom of Frederick’s barrel this time."

"That’s right!" There was a look of triumph on Douglas’s face, "Tomorrow he’s bound to come looking for the boss."

Sean Knight shook his head:

"He won’t see me tomorrow. I need to go to the farmstead for a spin. If he keeps coming to find me, it’ll be too much of a coincidence. He might be suspecting that I’m the one causing trouble right now."

"Boss is so smart!" Douglas gave him a thumbs up and started to flatter him.

"Go away." Sean Knight pointed at the backpack, "Pack it up and divide it among the three of you. Although Elijah didn’t go, it’s still because of me..."

"Let’s make it four shares, Boss, you can’t stay out of this. If something really happens, you have to bear it with us." Douglas deliberately spoke of taking responsibility.

"Fine." Sean Knight knew that this matter could be trivial or serious, so since the other party was sincere, he went along with it.

The next day, the four of them headed to the suburban farmstead together.

Sure enough, when they were on the road in the morning, Frederick called:

"Mr. Knight, I need help urgently! I’d like to use my villa as collateral to borrow some money from you..."

"I’m not here, I’m at the farmstead right now." Sean Knight answered the phone in the car, "To be honest, I have already seven or eight villas, I’m not interested in any more."

Frederick clenched his teeth, I just want to use the villa as collateral to borrow some money from you, not sell it to you, whether you’re interested or not isn’t important!

The reason Frederick called at this time was because he had called the police after being robbed yesterday, but the police told him that there wasn’t much evidence, and it would be very difficult to catch the robber.

Afterward, he started to look for people to raise money - after all, the tax department doesn’t care if his money was stolen or not, he still has to pay taxes when it’s time!

However, after borrowing from the Chinese people in the same circle, most of their money was deposited in Silicon Valley Bank, and they were all in a difficult situation, so who would have money to lend to him?

Even if there was, knowing his character, others wouldn’t dare to lend him money!

With no choice, he went around in circles and found that only Sean Knight had money and was willing to do business with him.

So he had no choice but to call Sean Knight.

Unfortunately, Sean Knight was not there.

Frederick Hall had his suspicions about Sean Knight. After all, as soon as he received the money, it was robbed. This was too coincidental.

However, he thought that it was impossible to keep the secret of him leaving with several people and several big boxes, and when he came back, the boxes were missing.

So he called Sean Knight, and if Sean Knight now tried to force him to sell his villa or real estate at a lower price, then he would be sure it was Sean Knight.

But Sean Knight turned out to be on his way to the farmhouse, and clearly was not interested in his villa, so he started thinking.

However, Frederick Hall still planned to test it further:

"Mr. Knight, how about I transfer my deposit receipt from Silicon Valley Bank to you for 1 million?"

"No, no, no, you keep it for yourself. I heard that Silicon Valley Bank has gone bankrupt directly. I was planning to manipulate it, but I didn’t expect that there was no time or opportunity over there... just pretend I didn’t say anything."

As soon as Sean Knight said this, Frederick Hall became anxious and also believed that Sean Knight was not the one who had commanded the robbery.

But he was in a hurry now!

If he can’t get the money, his villa and other properties might be confiscated!

If it’s confiscated, it’s better to sell at a sacrifice!

For the first time, Frederick Hall began to resent the tax system in the Beautiful Country.

If it were in China, he would have a thousand ways to avoid these messy taxes - in fact, China doesn’t have so many messy taxes!

However, no matter what, complaining is useless.

Frederick Hall, like a headless fly, bumped around everywhere, not even knowing that his female assistant had disappeared.

When Sean Knight returned to the villa, it was already the next day.

He went to the farmhouse the day before and went hunting with Elijah Hastings and the others, achieving a great harvest.

The next day, they went fishing or catching fish in the lake of another farmhouse, and it was quite enjoyable.

By the time they returned to the villa, the sun was almost setting.

Then he saw a car parked at the entrance of his villa.

"That’s Frederick Hall’s car," Elijah Hastings suddenly said.

Sean Knight was a little surprised; this guy was quite persistent!

"You two, don’t come out," Sean Knight said to Douglas Cooper and Lincoln Harrington in the back seat, "I’ll deal with him."

He had a hunch that this time Frederick Hall might be coming to "give him money."

After getting out of the car, Sean saw Frederick Hall, who had also just stepped out of his car.

Frederick Hall was slightly bent over, no longer as arrogant as when he first met Sean Knight, and even looked a bit obsequious.

"Mr. Knight, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time." Frederick Hall strode over, shaking hands with Sean Knight, "Now only you can help me... Mr. Knight, I really need your help!"

Sean Knight pointed to the inside of the villa and said:

"Let’s go inside and talk."

Frederick Hall was overjoyed. As long as Sean Knight was willing to talk, he would be saved!

At least for now, his glory and wealth could be preserved!

Upon entering the villa, Kathy Lewis greeted them and greeted Sean Knight before bringing tea and then leaving.

"Mr. Hall, tell me, what exactly is the matter?" Sean Knight pretended not to know, "I don’t think you’re so desperate that you need to sell your villa... I certainly don’t lack any."

"No, no, no," Frederick Hall said hastily, "This is what happened. I intend to sell my deposit receipt from Silicon Valley Bank to Mr. Knight. What do you think...?"

Sean Knight listened and then laughed.

What he was waiting for was this!

Because - he had inside information!
