Chapter 752: Chapter 462: Seems like the luck slot has never been empty? Got another gain?_3

"My name? I explained it to you the first time!" Beckett Drake asked, like a diligent student who wanted to get the right answer:

"Besides, there is an ancient poem, right? ’In the morning a country bumpkin, by evening in the emperor’s court’..."

"But when I think of Beckett Drake, it’s the self-appointed clever Japanese Lucas Tan Surlang in ’The Old Female Chivalry’!"

Beckett Drake’s body stiffened at these words, and then he forced a bitter smile:

"I really didn’t think there would be anyone in this day and age who would still read that old book..."

Beckett Drake sighed and said:

"Yes, I am Japanese, and my name is Lucas Tan Surlang. I was a special agent sent to Taiwan, mainly engaged in the collection of intelligence on folk culture and geography.

Later, due to a special incident, my superior, who had a single line of contact, was assassinated. All the information about the thirteen special agents, including me, had disappeared and I became free."

Sean Knight was a little puzzled, is this kind of operation possible?

"We were all single-line contacts." Beckett Drake saw Sean’s confusion and explained, "My superior also often asked us to do some private work, so it was even more secretive. Moreover, I suspect that his death is related to one of the thirteen of us."

This makes a little more sense.

But what’s it got to do with me?

Seeing Sean’s displeasure, Beckett Drake immediately said:

"Since I was an orphan, after leaving, I started traveling the world and making money with the skills I had trained at that time.

This time, I came here just after hearing about Hays Gruss’s affair. But when I came, I found that the place had already been cleaned up."

"I bribed the marine police and learned that the first people to approach Hays were you, Mr. Knight. And neither the Marine Police nor the cryptocurrency platform had found what they were looking for. So I guessed that the thing must be on your person..."

"Did you study me?" Ash asked, "Or did you follow me?"

"I’ve studied you," Beckett Drake admitted. "Mainly because you made your fortune so quickly. After leaving, I wanted to have a goal too, so I searched online, and the first person I found was you. I wanted to travel around the world looking for treasure like you, but unfortunately..."

Looking at Beckett Drake’s expression, it was clear that things hadn’t gone as expected.

"I’m not interested in any of the things you’ve just mentioned. Now talk about something useful, or I won’t guarantee that you’ll see tomorrow’s sun."

Sean used the most indifferent tone to speak the most ruthless words, and this instantly frightened Beckett Drake.

He had killed people before and had spoken harshly before, but for the most part, he had used the same old tactics. His intention was to gradually gain Sean’s sympathy.

If he could get even a little bit of Sean’s empathy or recognition, or even just flattery to make Sean feel comfortable, his chances of survival would be much greater.

But unexpectedly, Sean didn’t buy it. He ignored everything he had said, and then issued an ultimatum!

"Don’t play games, they don’t work on our boss," Douglas Cooper said smugly. "Your little tricks were noticed by our boss as soon as you showed up!

"You’d better think of a way while our boss hasn’t lost his patience, or else the seafood you ate yesterday will be eating you tomorrow. It’s the cycle of life!"

Thinking about yesterday’s delicious seafood, and how he could become food for them tomorrow, Beckett Drake was immediately unhappy.

He had to find a way to save himself!

The first thing that came to his mind was that Sean definitely liked antiques.

He had studied Sean’s experiences, so he knew this very well.

Secondly, he understood that Sean certainly hoped to bring some of China’s antiques back.

This could be known simply by looking at how he had brought back the bronze ware, ancient bamboo slips, bronze men, and the Yongle Encyclopedia.

So did he have any similar information?

Yes!

Beckett Drake had been a special agent for many years, and naturally, he knew about that.

Seeing Sean’s face darken, he knew that if he didn’t speak up now, it would be too late, so he immediately said:

"Yes, there is! I know a house in Taiwan. When they moved there from the mainland, they brought many antiques with them. Using today’s standards, several of them are absolutely national treasures, and I know the place ..."

"Heh heh!" Sean sneered.

Beckett Drake didn’t react and thought that Sean didn’t believe him, so he immediately raised his voice, but not too loudly:

"It’s true! What I say is absolutely true! You can verify ..."

"Although they are not completely with us, at least they are Chinese, and I don’t want to take advantage of my own country’s treasures." Sean explained.

"You have one more chance."

At these words, Beckett Drake’s face changed instantly!

Only one chance!

Doesn’t that mean that if he doesn’t say the right thing this time, he will most likely become boxed lunch for seafood!

He immediately said:

"Yes, yes, indeed! I know that on Kyushu Island, there is an inconspicuous temple, which houses over a hundred ancient books from the Song Dynasty. Most of these books are unique, with many not even preserved in China!

There is only one old monk guarding the temple because it used to be an ancestral temple of a rich merchant. Later, something happened in the merchant’s family, and they died out, leaving the treasures in the temple ..."

"How do you know this?" Sean became interested in this news.

The number of Chinese treasures collected in Japan was an unknown quantity.

If he really wanted to take them, Sean wouldn’t have any psychological burden.

But he still needed to find out, mainly because Beckett Drake was too cunning, trying to deceive him with linguistic tricks more than once.

He couldn’t let him succeed!

"Before becoming a special agent, I spent some time in that temple, and the old monk had taken care of me," Beckett Drake sadly explained. "Later, I was discovered by my superior who took me away for training. When I left, I returned to the temple and learned about the changes in the wealthy merchant’s family ..."

"Tell me the specifics, and I will determine if this is true or not." Sean still maintained his indifferent expression.

"Yes, yes!" Seeing Sean’s response, Beckett Drake breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he wouldn’t have to die!
