Chapter 633: Chapter 412: Saved someone, but also made enemies_2

The image on the front is of a person’s face, seemingly a big-bearded man with not much hair.

Unable to recognize it, Sean Knight simply put it away.

Recently, Sean hasn’t been short of money, so he has no plans to sell the precious metals, gold coins, silver coins, and silver ingots he found.

After all, he found a lot of them, and selling them would impact the market.

After putting away the iron box, Sean took out the box containing the armor.

Opening the box, Sean found that the armor had been carefully maintained after being buried.

Although it had been stored for hundreds of years, there was still the smell of grease when opened.

He took out an iron helmet and found that it had a thick layer of animal fat on it.

However, the fat had already dried and congealed on the armor, and thanks to the protection of the grease, there weren’t many rusty spots on the helmet.

There were some fine, beautiful patterns on the armor, making it quite attractive.

Sean wondered if the patterns carved on the armor would affect its durability.

However, it did look quite nice.

Sean even found that some patterns on the armor were inlaid with gold and silver threads, indicating that this set of armor was quite valuable.

It might even have an extraordinary history.

A well-kept tradition?

Thinking about it, Sean put the armor back into the box and took out a curved knife.

The sheath of the curved knife was made from some animal skin, inlaid with gemstones and secured with copper. The handle of the curved knife was made from large pieces of lapis lazuli and turquoise, and the tail was inlaid with a large emerald.

Just looking at the decorations would tell anyone how valuable this knife was.

Drawing the knife, Sean found that not only was the curved knife a decorative piece, but it also had real killing power-its blade was extremely sharp, and there was no trace of rust.

It was a good knife.

That’s all.

Sean didn’t put the knife in the box. He felt that it could be useful in dangerous situations.

Looking at the other weapons, the spear was also very sharp, while the short sword was slightly inferior, with some rust spots on it. Nonetheless, the hilt and scabbard were likewise decorated very extravagantly.

Sean guessed that any of these weapons could fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Of course, he had no plans to cash in - that would be the least reliable investment by today’s standards.

At this moment, Sean remembered the businesses he had asked Kathy Lewis to help manage.

He wondered how that was going.

He put all the weapons directly in his spatial realm so he could instantly access them when needed.

After doing all this, Sean put away the box, took out the spare long and short guns from his spatial realm, filled them with bullets, and then finally relaxed.

Noticing it was almost time, he headed to the kitchen, took out a large number of bread from his spatial realm, and prepared to distribute it.

When Elijah Hastings and the others returned, bread distribution began.

Although many people had found food by the seaside, who would complain about having too much to eat at this time?

Sean ejected the people who had come with Arthur Shermer, intending to "look for some benefits." While this caused some dissatisfaction, most people thought it was normal.

Nowadays, young people here no longer advocate selfless dedication.

After the bread was distributed, some people continued to go to the seaside, while others looked for a good place to rest in the single-story houses.

"I’m thinking of organizing some people for night watch duties," said Elijah. "It’s not very safe for the girls at night..."

"That’s necessary." Sean replied, "It’s best to gather them in a row of single-story houses for better management. Of course, if they don’t want to, let them do as they please. They’re all adults now, and we shouldn’t interfere too much."

When Elijah and the others went to do this, someone came to argue with Sean.

"Hello, my name is Luke Campbell." The man introduced himself.

Seeing that the man managed to keep himself clean and tidy in such an environment, Sean admired him.

"What’s the matter?" Sean asked.

"I don’t think your current management style is perfect," Luke said. "And I don’t think you can’t provide enough food; you just don’t want to feed us enough. So I hope you can give everyone enough food..."

"Am I your father?"

Sean interrupted him.

"You...How can you say that? Of course not..." Luke didn’t know why Sean suddenly asked.

He even felt that Sean’s interruption was very rude!

Just when he was about to remind Sean of this point, Sean pointed at the people outside and asked:

"Am I their father?"

"Of course... not."

"Why should I care for them?" Sean Knight sneered, "If you’re so capable, why don’t you handle it? If you’re not, don’t stand here complaining!"

"How could you be so rude?" Luke Campbell looked aggrieved, but of course, he was angry too.

"Would you be willing to give away your bread tomorrow morning?" Sean asked suddenly, catching him off guard.

Why was the conversation now about him?

"Not willing, right? Then get lost!"

Sean hated people who had no ability but still insisted on standing on their moral high ground to tell others what to do...

Don’t advise others to do good without having experienced their suffering.

People like Luke Campbell simply haven’t experienced enough of society’s harsh realities.

Leaving this self-righteous keyboard warrior behind, Sean entered the main hall. The sky was getting dark, and he had no plans to spend the night outside.

That night, Elijah and his patrol team had caught four separate incidents of men trying to sneak into the women’s dormitories.

A total of seven individuals were involved. After being caught, they were all left to face the wrath of the furious girls, who clawed their faces raw.

At the crack of dawn, they were tied to the surrounding wall near the front gate.

Many people rushed over to watch, as the seven men were too ashamed to lift their heads.

However, another incident caused some controversy.

Elijah, who was in charge of security, received a complaint.

A girl claimed she had been gang-raped by seven men that night.

Elijah’s investigation revealed that the girl hadn’t been staying in the designated women’s dormitory that night.

When the decision was made to group the women together, this girl was the first to object, and even stirred up several other girls to demand more freedom in their lodgings.

Elijah naturally didn’t deny their request.

She left happily, holding the hand of her male companion.

Little did she know that her companion would trade her away for four pieces of bread that very night...

What’s even more absurd was that at first, the girl agreed to it. But later on, one of the men who offered a piece of bread was too rough and deviant during the act, which the girl couldn’t stand. Therefore, she sought out Elijah to demand justice.

Elijah didn’t interfere in that matter.

In Sean’s words, adults must take responsibility for their choices.

That morning, Sean received some good news.

The boat to pick them up should arrive by noon.

While distributing the bread in the morning, Sean shared this news with others.

Almost everyone showed surprise and happiness on their faces.

At last, they could leave.

Except the guy who sold his girlfriend for four pieces of bread, and the girl herself.

Now he regretted it. Knowing they would leave soon, he wished he’d endured a little longer. Instead, he lost his girlfriend and gained several scratches on his face.

As for the girl, she regretted it even more. How could she face anyone after the story spread? Especially since there were people she knew among them!

Regardless, for Sean and his friends, it was still good news.

"Boss, what should we do?" Elijah and the others asked Sean in the main hall after giving out the bread.

"We’ll leave, of course. We’ve done what we set out to do." Sean said:

"Don’t disappear all at once. Leave one by one. Give them the illusion that we’re still in the main hall. This way, at least some of the ill-intentioned people can be deterred."

"Alright. I’ll leave last," Elijah said.

Soon, the observant ones noticed that Sean and his friends appeared less often in the courtyard. At first, all four of them were there, keeping the arrogant ones in check.

Then only two appeared, issuing warnings to those who tried to harass the girls.

Later, only Elijah appeared, mainly to patrol the area.

When the massive ship adorned with red flags appeared on the sea, no one realized that Elijah had been missing for half an hour.

At this moment, they were already on the yacht on the other side of the island.

Sean asked Douglas Cooper:

"Can we leave without your brother?"

"Why not? Bringing him along would only increase the chances of trouble!"
