Chapter 521: Chapter 457: A Big Task Has Arrived!_2

"Fuck!" Sean Knight couldn’t help but curse!

This thing, it’s a real national treasure!

These guys, even if they put the artifact at home, it would be fine!

To donate it - they’re really becoming obedient children and grandchildren to the Americans!

Sean Knight quickly walked back and said while walking:

"Robert, do you know more detailed information? Like when it will be donated and which route they are planning to take..."

"I knew you would be interested in this news." Robert was very happy, "I have made a lot of money with you in the past two years, which helped me through my toughest times. So, I will not charge you for the information I have about this news.

Later, I’ll send you the intel. The donation is scheduled for one week later. I believe you have enough time to prepare!"

"Why do you think this news is useful to me?" Sean Knight couldn’t help but ask.

"Because I think that such people, even if they become citizens of our Beautiful Country, will not truly be loyal to us in the future. If they can betray you, they can also betray us later."

Sean Knight thought Robert was very clear-headed!

He quickly returned to the base and said to Elijah Hastings and the other two:

"There’s a big opportunity, let’s pack up and head back!"

As they saw Sean Knight packing up quickly, Elijah Hastings and the others, who were packing up their breakfast, asked doubtfully:

"Boss, what’s the big opportunity?"

"Cultural relics, national treasure-level cultural relics." Sean Knight turned and smiled, continuing to pack while saying:

"I want those. But you need to know, if you participate, you cannot back out once you know about it. This is an illegal activity, and we might be fugitives or even put in jail."

As he said this, Elijah Hastings and the other two were stunned for a moment, then Douglas Cooper’s dissatisfied voice came out:

"Boss, isn’t your reverse psychology a bit too basic? Of the tasks we’ve completed following you, how many didn’t break the law? We weighed it ourselves, as long as we don’t cross the bottom line it’s fine."

"Exactly, Boss, you’re making us very sad!" Lincoln Harrington’s words, though short, expressed the feelings of Elijah Hastings and the other two.

"Alright." Sean Knight packed up his backpack and said, "I got news that a traitor is going to donate more than 180 cultural relics that he brought from the domestic country to the New York Metropolitan Museum."

"What the hell!" Douglas’s reaction was within Sean’s expectation, "Isn’t this a fucking traitor?"

"There’s at least one national treasure among them, a Nine Dragons and Phoenixes Crown, from the Ming Dynasty..."

"Damn it, let’s steal it!" Elijah Hastings clenched his fists, "We need to teach this unfilial descendant a lesson, let’s do it!"

Lincoln Harrington nodded, sharing the same mindset.

"Alright then, we’ll plan the scheme once we go back." Seeing that the three of them were in agreement and had very determined expressions, Sean Knight was quite pleased, "Let’s eat breakfast first, then we’ll leave!"

With this news, breakfast was a bit hasty, but no one minded.

After eating, they worked together to dismantle the camp, packing up what needed to be packed, burying what needed to be buried, and then quickly leaving.

Because they were in a hurry, it took only one day to reach their base.

The door lock at the base was secure, indicating no one had broken in during these days.

After disabling the trap and entering the base, Sean Knight received the message sent by Robert while they rested.

"Seven days later, this family will transport the cultural relics by truck to the Metropolitan Museum and hold a donation ceremony." Sean Knight said, "Let’s take a look at the route. After we go back, we need to walk this route and determine where to start."

"Boss, is the information accurate?" Elijah Hastings asked.

"Basically accurate." Sean Knight said, "We’ll fly back today. With one week’s time, we can continue to inquire about the news to make sure it’s completely reliable!"

This idea matched the thinking of Elijah Hastings and the others. Intel is a crucial factor for success. Only when they truly grasp the information themselves will they have the initiative.

Always relying on others can save time sometimes, but it can also be very passive at other times.

"We’ll store the retrieved items in the base first. I’ll find someone to come and handle them later." Sean Knight said, "When we get back, I’ll divide the money among you - do you want cash or a transfer?"

"Transfer." Elijah Hastings said, "Cash is a bit too much and not easy to carry."

"Alright."

Sean Knight went to "hide" those sacrificial implements. Elijah Hastings and the others tactfully did not ask any questions.

After a brief rest at the base, they drove to the nearest airport and took a flight back to New York.

Back in New York, the four of them returned to the old villa to rest.

Kathy Lewis was also thrilled to see Sean. She first asked the cook to prepare some food, then brought tea over and asked Sean:

"Mr. Knight, is the matter resolved?"

"It’s resolved. Withdraw the lawsuit. Those guys who caused destruction in my territory have disappeared."

"Yes, I’ve heard too, that they have withdrawn from the forest, and some have gone missing."

"That’s none of our business," Sean said, "Let’s put this matter to rest. We have other things to do next."

Kathy didn’t ask any further questions, knowing that Sean would tell her if he needed her help.

"By the way, I brought back a pretty nice pet. Kathy, please help me take care of it." Sean took out the bottle.

Seeing the adorable creature she had never seen before, Kathy instantly became smitten with it and happily said:

"Don’t worry, I’ll consult a biologist to explain its characteristics, and then I will personally take care of this cute little guy!"

After dinner, it was completely dark outside.

Sean and the others, who had been busy all day, went to rest separately.

The next day, Sean went to the freight yard, while Elijah and the others drove along the route marked by Robert to begin their reconnaissance.

There was also information about where those people lived.

Using the navigation system, Elijah and the others discovered the most convenient and relatively safe route from the house to the Metropolitan Museum. Robert had marked this route.

Therefore, it was highly likely that the vehicle carrying the cultural relics would take this route.

After determining the route, Elijah and the others began to split up to gather more detailed intelligence.

Fortunately, this matter was not a secret. The family had even accepted interviews from reporters and very naturally and openly announced the matter to the public.

Watching the proud-looking man on television, Sean felt nauseous.

In the evening, back at the villa, Elijah, and the others first gathered their information and then reported it to Sean:

"Boss, the situation is like this. There are only two suitable locations for action along the entire route."

Sean looked at the satellite map and listened to Elijah’s explanation.

"One is an elevated bridge. The terrain there is complicated, and the truck will have to slow down for sure. Once it slows down, we’ll have an opportunity to act."

"And the other place?" Sean asked.

"It’s a tunnel," Elijah said. "We’ll engineer a traffic accident in the tunnel to stop the truck. After that, it’s just a matter of transferring the cargo and escaping pursuit..."

"Let’s act in the tunnel!" Sean said, "You guys will be responsible for causing the accident. Leave the rest to me!"

"Boss, the other side hired at least a five-person squad to guard the truck. You alone..."

"I’ll prepare some special ammunition," Sean said. "Rest assured, I’m confident in handling this. You guys just need to create alibis, and it’ll be easier for me to get away."

Elijah understood that the aftermath of this incident would undoubtedly be significant. It would be simpler for Sean to create an alibi, but it wouldn’t be as easy for them.

Since Sean said he was confident, Elijah didn’t insist anymore and agreed to his plan.

He then went to discuss the details with Lincoln Harrington and the others.

In fact, Sean’s main advantage for this task was the spatial realm.

As long as he could knock out any opponents, he could shove the items into the spatial realm. Even if there was evidence of Sean being at the scene, as long as they couldn’t find the items, it wouldn’t be connected to him.

Sean’s plan was simple - even if he had to hide the items for a while, he wouldn’t let them be sent to the Metropolitan Museum!
