Chapter 88: Chapter 88: What a Pleasant Surprise!

After arranging the freight yard matters, Sean Knight called Mr. John and discussed the management of the freight yard.

Mr. John said he would keep an eye out but that such talents are not easy to find, and told Sean not to worry.

It seems that it cannot be rushed. Sean hung up the phone and went to have lunch with Jason Caldwell.

On the way, Sean told Jason about the documents he needed.

Jason immediately agreed:

"Bondi is educated and good at this stuff! I’ll prepare the documents as soon as possible. Bosuns, once you get your Green Card, we can expand and strengthen the freight yard business!"

Jason was excited, but Sean didn’t care much.

The main thing he came to the Beautiful Country for was to take back what belonged to him in his uncle’s will.

Especially the jade pendant! This must be taken back!

Sean even felt that inside the jade pendant, there might not only be the cultivation method of Sky Eye, but also other things!

He must get the jade pendant back as soon as possible!

After eating the meal cooked by Freya Perez at Jason’s rented house, Jason took his brother hurriedly to the freight yard.

They planned to check first how many containers in the nearby freight yards were unrented and ready for auction.

Sean did not want to go to the freight yard, as there is nothing there for him to do right now.

After thinking about it, Sean went to New York City instead.

According to the information obtained from Mr. John, in the afternoon, several warehouses were to be auctioned by a warehouse management company. For the competitive bidding type, Sean wanted to see if he could find any bargains.

The warehouse was located in a relatively prosperous area of the city, so when Sean arrived at the administration office, he found that there were quite a few people who had registered to participate in the auction.

Unexpectedly, Mr. White and Big-bearded were also there.

Of course, Selena Foster, who was wearing a green dress, was not there.

However, another tall white woman wearing a jacket and a cowboy hat was very eye-catching.

The other people seemed to be just watching the fun.

After registering, Sean and the others waited together.

Seeing that it was almost time, the administrator and security guard walked towards the warehouse together.

The others immediately followed.

Big-bearded and Mr. White still remembered Sean, and they whispered to each other while walking.

With his good hearing, Sean could hear that they seemed to be planning to join forces to suppress him.

However, Sean did not care.

It’s hard to say that they would cooperate when there’s money to be made. It’s like throwing a bone to two dogs.

After experiencing the events at Joseph’s Estate, Sean lowered his expectations of these people in the Beautiful Country.

"Warehouse 17!" When the administrator arrived at the designated warehouse, he said to the people who were going to bid, "Now, we will open the warehouse, and you will have one minute to observe. The auction will begin afterwards."

After that, the security guard unfastened the ground lock of the warehouse’s rolling gate.

As the rolling gate was pulled up, to their surprise, behind the door, there was a wall made of welded iron plates with a small door in the middle.

The iron wall completely blocked the inside, and nothing was visible.

"F*ck!"

"Sh*t!"

Some people cursed.

Some people, however, were guessing what could be hidden inside.

Sean activated his Sky Eye and scanned through the warehouse, surprised to find that it had been transformed into a complete Doomsday fortress!

Behind the iron wall was a complete Doomsday survival storage!

It was oval, similar to an oil barrel, and Sean even suspected that it was modified from an oil barrel.

There was a bed, a table, neatly arranged shelves with lots of canned food.

Under the bed, there was a wooden box filled with various firearms!

There was a small generator and several paralleled storage batteries under the table.

On the table were a telescope, several survival knives - all of which seemed expensive.

Also, there was a high-power all-band radio or communication equipment, with a microphone.

Several water buckets were placed in the empty space next to the bed. Under the water buckets, there was a secret compartment, hiding a gun and some bullets.

In the bottom of the item shelf, there were some instruments, such as gas masks, Geiger counters, etc.

Just the guns and bullets alone were worth a lot!

The knives were good, too!

This must be auctioned off!

After one minute of observation, the others started discussing non-stop.

Big-bearded thought this should be a place to hide personal private items, so he added a door lock.

Mr. White believed it was a Doomsday survival room!

Sean couldn’t help but admire the chubby white guy, who indeed guessed correctly!

As one minute passed, the administrator immediately raised his hand and said loudly:

"Reserve price 300 dollars, each increase must be no less than 50 dollars, auction starts!"

Sean was the first to speak:

"One thousand dollars!"

His opening bid scared the people nearby!

"Damn!"

"Why is this Chinese guy bidding so high? Is he here to show off his money or what?"

"Right! Is it necessary to spend so much money on a warehouse?"

Sean’s bid attracted a lot of complaints from other bidders!

Sean finally understood why Mr. Madden was so hated!

Just one shout had cut off many people’s auction ideas.

However, even if he understands this, Sean would not change his strategy.

He wanted to use this method to filter out some time-wasting auction links.

"One thousand and fifty dollars!" The big-bearded man raised his hand.

He looked at Sean, smiled, and signaled that he didn’t care about the money!

The chubby white guy hesitated for a moment and didn’t bid.

Sean raised his hand again:

"One thousand five hundred dollars!"

The administrator immediately pointed to Sean:

"This gentleman bids one thousand five hundred dollars. One thousand dollars, anyone increasing the price?"

The administrator was excited!

One thousand five hundred dollars! Such a price is rare in warehouse auctions!

After all, most of the warehouses here store some useless second-hand goods.

More than a thousand dollars is already considered a big order!

The big-bearded man shrugged his shoulders, opening his hands to show he gave up.

The chubby white guy got anxious and immediately raised his hand:

"One thousand six hundred dollars!"

Before the administrator could react, Sean raised his hand again:

"One thousand eight hundred dollars!"

Well, the chubby white guy gave up.

The auction ended.

The whole process took only a minute!

The administrator congratulated Sean with a smile:

"This is the fastest warehouse auction I’ve ever experienced!"

Others were not unaware of the possibility that there might be good stuff hidden behind the iron gate.

But it could also be useless, just an iron gate!

They didn’t dare to gamble.

After all, one thousand eight hundred dollars is two to three weeks’ salary for a wage-earning class!

Not a small amount!

The security guard handed Sean a lock with a key, and Sean decisively locked the door and followed the administrator forward.

Those who were planning to see what Sean could get were immediately disappointed.

Sean apparently had no intention of showing them.

The administrator walked to the entrance of a warehouse and said loudly:

"Warehouse 39, up for auction now! You have one minute to observe!"

After finishing speaking, he gestured to the security guard to unlock the door.

Sean had already started scanning this warehouse.

To his disappointment, the warehouse was full of miscellaneous items.

It would be better to describe it as a vagrant’s dwelling rather than a warehouse.

Cardboard boxes were piled up on either side of the entrance, filled with old plush toys, bowls, cups, and old magazines. Further inside, the cardboard boxes blocked an area with bedding and a tattered towel rolled up on it. Next to the pillow lay large bundles of toilet paper.

Inside, there was an old chair in a color no longer recognizable, with a pan on it that had a broken handle, and inside the pan was a burnt black mass, which seemed to have flies crawling on it.

Sean had originally not planned to look any further, but when his Sky Eye swept over the bedding, his eyes suddenly lit up!

How could such a thing be here?
