Chapter 596: Chapter 294: Don’t Want to Be Noble, Be Selfish for Once
Hearing the engine sound, Douglas Cooper and Lincoln Harrington immediately became alert and searched for cover, then looked in the direction of the engine noise.
However, the engine sound was gradually getting farther away, apparently someone had started the car and run away.
Sean Knight activated his Sky Eye, scanned the area, and found no one nearby. He immediately came out and said to Lincoln Harrington and Douglas Cooper:
"Someone has escaped, we can’t stay here, we need to leave as soon as possible!"
After saying that, he rushed inside and shouted to Kenton Nelson:
"Mr. Kenton, come out quickly, we have to go!"
Kenton Nelson ran out and asked doubtfully:
"What happened?"
"Someone escaped, this may be exposed, we have to leave!"
"Alright!" Kenton Nelson knew that the situation was urgent, so he immediately followed Sean Knight.
Douglas Cooper and Lincoln Harrington pointed to the house and asked:
"What should we do with this?"
"Burn it." Sean Knight said, "Leaving it here would also be a hidden danger."
Douglas Cooper and Lincoln Harrington went to set the fire, while Sean Knight and Kenton Nelson walked towards the car.
"Mr. Kenton, what are your plans going forward?" Sean Knight asked as they walked.
"What else can I do? Go back home." Kenton Nelson sighed, holding the White Jade Ruyi in his hand, "This matter has become a big issue. It’s risky to stay here. I’d better go back to my country first and lie low for a while."
Hearing this, Sean Knight nodded and said:
"That’s true. With this Jade Ruyi, you can make at least a million. It’s a good idea to either sell it or keep it in your family after returning home."
By this time, Kenton Nelson was no longer nervous and chuckled:
"That’s all thanks to you, Mr. Knight. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to get this."
He had realized by now that although Andrew Petrov claimed to be his friend, the Russian had probably been using him all along, tricking wealthy people into getting conned using his reputation.
If it weren’t for Sean Knight and his subordinates’ fierceness and ruthlessness, he might still be kept in the dark, and perhaps even buried in the field as fertilizer.
People of different races do have differing intentions - this saying is indeed true!
Soon, flames emerged from the farmhouse, and Lincoln Harrington and Douglas Cooper caught up.
When they got into the car, Kenton Nelson drove and Douglas handed the backpack to Sean.
"Everyone gets a share this time." Sean laughed and said:
"Mr. Kenton, you introduced me to such a great deal, so I don’t need the money for the Ruyi. You can keep it for yourself."
"How can I do that?" While driving, Kenton Nelson hurriedly said:
"If it were a small sum, I wouldn’t mind, but with such a large amount, I can’t just..."
"It’s okay. I’ve gotten more." Sean said with a smile, "Without you, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity."
Kenton Nelson still wanted to say something, but Sean waved his hand and said:
"Mr. Kenton, just focus on driving, we’ve settled this matter."
Kenton Nelson remained silent, but his respect for Sean Knight had increased.
Sean also said to Douglas Cooper and Lincoln Harrington:
"For you two, I will directly transfer the money to your bank accounts. I will directly keep the things in this backpack. It’s troublesome to go through Customs, so I’ll find someone. We can’t stay here, let’s go."
Lincoln Harrington and Douglas Cooper naturally had no objections.
The trip was short, but the gains were substantial. Sean transferred one million dollars to each person - a large amount from Andrew Petrov’s card alone, plus the gold bars and the value of the antiques in the backpack.
This situation was quite dangerous, so Sean didn’t hold back.
The car sped all the way but didn’t catch up to the escaped car in the end - or didn’t even know which car it was or who the person was.
So as soon as the car returned to the city, they started to buy tickets to return to their country.
Kenton Nelson was quite experienced in this matter, so he took care of it.
Due to the urgency, the ticket prices were a bit higher, but fortunately, none of them lacked money. Kenton Nelson decisively bought seats on the same flight with Sean and the others.
Upon arriving in their homeland, it was already three days later.
After leaving the airport, Mr. Kenton said goodbye to Sean and insisted on inviting Sean to visit his home, promising to cover all the expenses for eating, drinking, playing, and having fun.
Since Sean didn’t spend a long time abroad, he didn’t return home but went to Ocean City instead.
After checking into a hotel, Sean made a call to Howard Richardson:
"Help me arrange a meeting with your Uncle Melvin Richardson, I want him to help me find an expert."
For this matter, Sean could have looked for connections in the Xinjiang Museum, and it would have been easier to find someone there.
But the golden crown was too sensitive, so Sean didn’t want to get involved with government officials. Once this item was revealed, many people would definitely try to get the crown "invited" into a museum.
This was different from the Bronze Ware and Acupuncture Bronze Figures. Sean wanted to keep the golden crown for himself.
So, he contacted Howard Richardson, and through him, Melvin Richardson. The relationship he found was based purely on favors and money, without involving any government affairs.
This way, the matter would be least likely to leak, and even if it did, it could be completely denied.
But if experts were contacted through official channels for restoration, it would be difficult to deny the matter later on.
Melvin Richardson had nothing to do lately, and when his nephew told him that Sean wanted to ask for a favor, he immediately welcomed Sean.
Sean had been to Melvin Richardson’s home before, so he took out an ancient gold coin from the spatial realm as a gift and went to visit.
Melvin Richardson found the gold coin quite interesting, and he played with it after taking it:
