Chapter 899: Chapter 511 Have I become a gentleman?_3

Next, Sean Knight took a trip to Sweden.

"Dear, how did you get here?"

Cheryl had thought that after this event, Sean would be gone for a long time before he could return, and she was somewhat incredulous when she received Sean’s phone call.

"I missed you, so I came over," Sean said with a smile, stretching out his arms.

Cheryl didn’t hesitate to throw herself into Sean’s embrace.

Though they had been apart for just over ten days, a day apart felt like an eternity.

Those who are in love would understand.

Cheryl had sneaked out behind her family’s back. However, her so-called stealth in the eyes of her family was nothing more than a little girl playing house.

Sean could sense that at least two people were closely watching this place nearby.

He definitely did not think those two were merely spectators.

Their passionate kiss lasted for almost five minutes before it ended, and by then, Cheryl had already collapsed into Sean’s arms.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you shopping and to a movie," Sean said, half supporting Cheryl, "There are too many people here."

Cheryl looked down shyly and nodded gently.

She could no longer say anything in resistance.

Even a princess would hope to have a romantic love.

Soon, Cheryl recovered, and like any other girl in love, she walked arm in arm with Sean, introducing everything about the place to him—the shopping center, featured snacks, scenic spots, and so on.

Carrying snacks in their hands, they strolled through the streets and fed pigeons, walking leisurely and playfully.

Sean himself rarely had such relaxed moments, and he felt a certain tension deep inside him being slowly eased and soothed.

"Let’s go watch a movie," Cheryl suggested, taking Sean to the cinema, "There’s a film that I think is quite good recently."

Sean was curious, as he hadn’t expected Cheryl to keep up with movies.

To his surprise, Cheryl did not choose a romance or a Hollywood blockbuster, but an animated film.

"When I was young, I rarely watched cartoons. It was only after I came in first in something or won a prize for some skill that I was allowed to watch one, so I still have this longing for animated films..."

They watched a film about two sisters in a snowy land. After whispering a few words, Cheryl immersed herself in the movie, her arm entwined with Sean’s.

Sean had heard of the film but had never watched it.

He could feel that Cheryl really wanted to watch it, so he gently held her hand and did not disturb her any further.

After the movie ended, Cheryl took Sean back to the hotel. They were affectionate for a long time, but Cheryl did not stay.

"The Royal Family is still watching me; I can’t stay overnight," Cheryl said with a heart full of regret, "I’ll come over again tomorrow. You won’t leave tomorrow, will you?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll wait for you," Sean assured her as he saw her off.

Being a part-time treasure hunter, Cheryl was quite adept at disguise, so her departure from the hotel did not attract anyone’s attention.

While Sean was resting in the hotel, he received an unexpected phone call.

"Robert, is something wrong?" Sean said, a bit surprised as he looked at the phone number.

This guy couldn’t possibly also be wanting to get his hands on targeted drug raw materials, could he?

Sean Knight had already received Lincoln Harrington’s notice.

The need for targeted drug raw materials over at Bruce Ward’s end was from a domestic pharmaceutical company.

These materials were for research purposes, unlike those involved in the transaction back in Rome. Those people used them to produce fakes, which is entirely different.

"I’m the middleman, someone from a certain country wants to find you—they feel that with your way of doing things, this matter can be discussed."

Speak of the specifics," Sean Knight said, "What’s there to talk about? I had no idea I have such a good reputation in some people’s eyes!"

"Of course. At least you keep your word." Robert didn’t know if it was commercial flattery or if the opponent indeed said this, he told Sean Knight:

"Because every time you help someone with a treasure hunt, in the end, you let the opponent obtain a satisfactory result. Not like some treasure hunters, who experience all kinds of accidents during the treasure hunt.

After all, there have been no shortage of news about treasure hunters who disappear, die of illness, or die accidentally through the process of seeking treasure through a Treasure Hunter. But the treasure hunts you’re involved in almost always yield a harvest, and the employers are still alive, which makes people trust you."

Sean Knight hadn’t expected to have such an evaluation, considering it a pleasant surprise.

"Well then, speak up, what does the opponent want to do?"

"The opponent hopes that you can help preserve a batch of cultural relics," Robert said, "Their country is currently at war, and the war has caused many cultural relics and historic sites to be damaged to various degrees.

Now the war shows no signs of ending, so a patriotic merchant from a certain city in that country hopes to smuggle a batch of the country’s cultural relics out and entrust them to your care."

"What’s in it for me? Isn’t the opponent afraid that I’ll swallow up those relics?"

No, of course not," Robert said, laughing, "The opponent isn’t that foolish, there’s a process to this matter. At the preliminary stage, the natural intention is to see if you agree or not."

"If I agree, what’s in it for me?" Sean Knight knew this was the time to negotiate the terms.

Sean Knight was well aware of the war that had been ongoing between the Two Nations for a year.

He had traveled around Europe several times and had searched for treasure near Belarus.

Therefore, he was fully aware that what most domestic people knew, or thought they knew, about the situation, was not the real truth.

In their eyes, it was merely an invasion of one country by a great power.

They did not realize, however, that there are common ethnicities within both countries.

Years ago, due to the open and covert interference of certain countries, a Jewish actor was elected President in Ukraine.

Then, the indigenous people of a certain region suffered.

That actor President openly and secretly supported some resistance organizations, then a battalion began to grow, and massacred the indigenous people of a certain region.

These indigenous people were also resisting, but how could they possibly stand a chance against the organized battalion?

So, after being massacred considerably, the indigenous people sought support from Russia.

Russia stepped in, and then it was portrayed as an invasion war.

Those so-called C-companies would not report to the world about the massacre of the indigenous people in certain areas of Ukraine by that battalion.

Just like when they went to Xinjiang, despite having conducted formal interviews and obtained a large quantity of real documents, they still distorted the facts upon returning, finding photos from who knows which year, of who knows which country, and then fabricating some malicious content.

After all, the vast majority in Europe have never been to China and don’t know the actual situation there.

They know they are lying and spreading rumors; they also know we know they are lying and spreading rumors; they also know we will denounce and refute their lies and rumors, but they don’t care.

They only care if they put the story out there, a massive number of people in Europe and America will believe it. That’s the nature of opinion controlled by capital.
