Chapter 972: Chapter 536: Strolling Through the Black Market Here_2

The matter was actually quite simple; Elder Kaman had tried to betray Sean Knight and the others to those who had offered a reward, which is why the satellite phone was kept turned on.

What they didn’t expect was that it would attract wolves—clearly, those people had never intended to pay the reward money; they just needed a clue!

As for Elder Kaman’s life, it wasn’t even within their consideration!

This situation became quite awkward!

Elder Hassan also harbored some resentment towards Sean Knight and his group.

He felt that it was their arrival that brought these jackals and wolves!

Only, since it was them who had invited Sean Knight and his group, it was indeed not easy to say anything!

At this moment, Lincoln Harrington took out some document materials left by those people, came over, and said,

"One of these people’s objectives must be this Material Warehouse."

Elder Hassan took the documents and started to read them.

In the documents was a map and satellite photos. Elder Hassan wasn’t very knowledgeable about these, but two spots were very clear on the map—one was an Abandoned Base, and the other was the Sealed Cave where they had taken the supplies.

And within those documents was detailed data, indicating the types of supplies in the cave, their quantities, and the suggested ways to deal with them—

The summary was to trade the items with the locals for precious metals or gemstones while fostering a group of people close to them.

Elder Hassan’s attitude changed immediately!

It seemed that even without Sean Knight and the others, these people would have come and had a conflict with the tribe.

After all, both sides wanted to get their hands on these things!

Now Elder Hassan’s feelings towards Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings were purely those of gratitude!

Without them, their tribe wouldn’t have been able to get these items for free, and it’s possible that spies could have been planted in the tribe—after all, the Americans weren’t content with their defeat and retreat from here, and it wouldn’t be their style not to make some sneaky moves!

Elder Kaman was searched and then led away under escort.

Looking at the neatly arranged bodies of friends and family strewn across the slope and listening to the agonized cries of the wounded warriors, the tribal residents who once supported him now abhorred him just as much!

Although he knew that Elder Kaman had made an unforgivable mistake, Elder Hassan still tried his best to placate the tribal residents, to prevent them from doing anything radical.

Dealing with the bodies of the deceased and treating the wounded, carrying supplies—these were all urgent tasks that needed to be done.

Hassan took a moment to tell Clarence Hughes,

"There was a significant battle here, and two drones were shot down. This news will spread quickly. Soon, nearby tribal residents and some people lurking here will come to check.

The current priority for the tribe is to swiftly clean up the battlefield and leave here. Otherwise, it’s very likely that others will come to reap the benefits."

Although Clarence Hughes didn’t fully understand the rules of survival for the tribal communities in this mountainous area, he knew it was right to listen to Hassan.

Elijah Hastings and the others did not participate in these tasks but stayed on the Little Mound, keeping watch all around and waiting for Sean Knight’s return.

Before long, Sean Knight appeared on the edge of the battlefield.

Seeing the neatly arranged rows of bodies and the ground covered in bullet shells, Sean Knight was not too surprised.

Although the mountain residents were warlike and experienced in combat, there was still a significant gap compared to those professionally prepared mercenaries.

Hassan was busy arranging the aftermath and, upon seeing Sean Knight, immediately put down his work and hurried over.

"Mr. Knight, we are truly grateful for you and your people’s help to our tribe this time!

If not for you, by now, all of us might have become corpses!

God bless you!"

Hassan gave Sean Knight a big bow.

Sean Knight quickly helped Hassan up and earnestly said,

"Elder Hassan, we are partners; helping each other is only right. Please don’t be so polite; if you need anything, just say it!"

"Yes, we are partners!" Elder Hassan seemed emotional upon hearing this word.

This land had been invaded turn by turn by two Super Powers across decades. The mountain people learned to resist through several invasions, learned to ambush, to play politics, and adopted various strategies to survive.

They had more than once been told that they were seen as partners.

But those so-called partners only exploited their labor, plundered their interests, and deceived their emotions.

This was the first time Hassan genuinely felt that partners could help each other. They could call on their partners for help, and the partners did not blackmail them in return, asking for more benefits.

Although Hassan had been to China many times, the impression Sean Knight gave him now let him truly understand the wisdom of the mysterious eastern country.

He suddenly felt how fortunate he and his tribe were to have such partners!

Hassan felt he must firmly secure this cooperative relationship; it was like a big tree. As long as they relied closely on this big tree, the tribe should be able to grow into a big tree in the future!

James Ross repeatedly persuaded Hassan to promptly attend to the current affairs while he himself went to the Small Hill.

Elijah Hastings and the others had already seen Sean Knight, but they didn’t come over due to Elder Hassan needing to discuss matters.

Now that Sean Knight had come up, they hurriedly gathered around.

"Boss, among these people, there are five Japanese, two Caucasians, and three who got away; their identities are still not confirmed," Lincoln Harrington reported.
