Chapter 632: Chapter 412: Saved someone, but also made enemies

A group of people almost ran to the back of the main hall.

The leader was named Arthur Shermer, who was a manager of a small factory before boarding the cargo ship. He was sued for embezzlement.

After pulling some connections and paying back the money, he was exempted from prosecution, but he lost his job and his reputation was ruined in the industry.

With no other choice, he was tricked into joining this cargo ship.

After being rescued, Arthur Shermer leveraged his ability to deceive people and gathered quite a few people around him.

Just now, they intended to fight for their own interests, at least to ensure that they could eat enough, but when they heard the news that there was a cellar and treasure chest found behind the main hall, Arthur Shermer’s mind immediately became active.

He gathered around more than a dozen people following him and headed towards the main hall.

It wasn’t really about robbing Sean Knight’s stuff, but Arthur Shermer had always had this concept in his mind:

What others got, as long as he was present, he deserved a share.

If it were his -- then it had nothing to do with others, right?

There are indeed many such double-standard people in the real world.

Moreover, these people never regarded this as shameful, because their worldview and outlook on life are like this.

So when Arthur Shermer took the others to the back of the building and saw Sean Knight and the big hollow place at his feet, his eyes lit up!

This was much better than just getting a few pieces of bread!

The previous fear of Sean Knight and the others diminished a lot as the images of the treasures in their minds began to surface.

"What are you guys doing?" Sean Knight asked coldly, "Didn’t I say before? You’re not allowed to come here!"

The others stopped in their tracks, but Arthur Shermer was daydreaming of becoming rich and his courage grew. He said with a grin, "We’re just here to see if there’s anything we can help with..."

"No, get lost!" Sean Knight didn’t intend to talk to this rascal-looking guy.

Some girls like the appearance of a bad boy, but Arthur Shermer wasn’t that kind of guy, he was just a rascal.

"Don’t be so fierce!" Arthur Shermer naturally wouldn’t be scared off by Sean’s words. "We are compatriots, so we should help each other. Besides, we have more people..."

Sean Knight didn’t feel it necessary to let this moron go on any further. He reached his hand behind his waist and pulled out a pistol.

Arthur Shermer and the people behind him were shocked!

"Do you want to guess how we saved you back then?" Sean said with a smirk, "Do you want me to show you?"

Those in the back dared not let Sean demonstrate, and hurriedly waved their hands.

Arthur Shermer sobered up a bit this time, but he still tried his luck and said, "There... are no bullets in that gun, right?"

"Bang!" Sean shot at Arthur Shermer’s feet!

Arthur Shermer knelt down immediately!

The others were also startled, some people even turned around and ran away, while some, like Arthur Shermer, knelt down right away.

Can people outrun bullets?

"Alright, get out of here! But you guys won’t have any bread tonight!"

Sean Knight couldn’t be bothered with these people who couldn’t see the situation and lacked a brain stem. After warning them, he waved for them to leave.

Arthur Shermer felt that he had been granted a reprieve, promptly got up, turned around, and ran away.

Sean Knight looked at the puddle of urine where Arthur had knelt just now and scornfully cursed, "Coward!"

Sean put away his silenced pistol and continued to cover up the hole.

Thinking about the place with the weapons and armor, Sean decided to take them with him since the hole was dug up anyway.

There was still space available in his spatial realm anyway.

An hour had passed when everything was done.

When Sean appeared in front of the main hall again, he found that there were not many people around.

Most of the people were at the single-story houses. Sean guessed that someone had spread the news about his gunshot, which saved him a lot of trouble.

This time, the harvest was not small, and Sean was in a good mood, so he decided to take a walk on the sandy beach.

He found that the sandy beach around the island was already packed, and each area was guarded by someone watching the ebb and flow of the tides, waiting to catch seafood.

Some people even went into the shallow sea to see if there was any harvest.

A bonfire was lit near the sandy beach for a barbecue.

There is an abundance of marine life in this remote area.

The trees on the island suffered.

However, Sean didn’t bother with these things. What did it have to do with him?

Seeing Sean coming, some people looked at him with reverence, but there were also some bold people who invited Sean to taste the seafood they had just caught and were grilling.

Sean didn’t refuse and tried some of it.

Although the best ingredients require the simplest cooking methods, grilled seafood that is half-raw and unknown whether it has parasites or not can hardly be called delicious.

It could only be said that it could fill their stomachs.

Sean suddenly wondered if he had been too hard on these people.

After all, if it were about food, there was still some available in his space.

However, seeing these people eagerly catching fish by the sea, Sean dispelled the idea of ​​increasing their food.

This also counted as a kind of outdoor survival.

Seeing these people can at least ensure they are fed by their efforts, Sean felt relieved. After going around, he returned to the main hall and started counting the harvest.

In a clean room, Sean took out a big iron box.

This box was filled with golden coins.

The golden coins were about seven or eight grams each, with a flower on the front. Sean couldn’t recognize the kind of flower with slightly silk-like petals.
