Chapter 30 -30: Robert’s Special Task

After returning to the car, Sean Knight stuffed the octopus into a plastic bag and couldn’t wait to examine the jewelry box.

The jewelry box was originally very beautiful, with an exotic style to it.

However, no matter how beautiful it was, it looked ugly after being eroded by seawater.

He took a small knife out of the glove box and gently pried open the jewelry box.

A salty smell of seawater spread out.

However, Sean didn’t care. There was a lot of stuff inside this jewelry box!

There were three gold necklaces, four gemstone rings, two gold bracelets, and other stuff like earrings, and chain bracelets.

By the weight, it must be almost a kilogram, right?

With the current price of gold, it would be worth around 60,000 dollars?

Sean was feeling incredibly delighted!

He had picked up another massive bargain!

Looking at the still wriggling octopus, Sean picked up the copper pen and poked it, laughing as he said:

“I’m happy today, so I won’t cook you on the iron plate, go back home!”

Then he got out of the car, released the octopus back into the sea, and drove towards Mr. John’s Bar.

On the way, Robert called and Sean picked it up.

“Sean, there’s new information.” Robert rarely beat around the bush, “Mark drank too much and let slip that Elson Johnson is looking for the treasure left by Jeremy Knight. It is said that this treasure has a magical power…

Jeremy Knight made a lot of money with it.

By the way, that jade pendant you mentioned is now in Elson’s hands, and he values it highly, so it won’t be easy to get it back. However, there’s some progress on the will…”

Sean was very happy.

Today, the information Robert provided was really useful!

He was about to encourage Robert when he heard the other party continue:

“Sean, I heard you’ve run into a little trouble?”

Sean generously admitted:

“Yeah, lately a group of Latino Americans has been causing me trouble. Of course, I’m not afraid of them…”

Robert laughed:

“Actually, fixing a problem isn’t a big deal, it just takes a little money…”

Sean’s eyes lit up, asking:

“Do you have a solution?”

“Of course, it depends on whether you want to solve big trouble or little trouble.”

“What do you mean?” Sean didn’t expect Robert to be involved in this!

“Big trouble means making those Latino Americans disappear, so the world would be more peaceful!”

Oh, that’s a bit cruel!

Sean almost cursed!

But I like it!

Sean thought for a moment and shook his head. This would hurt too many innocent people, so he let it go.

“Well, what about the small trouble?”

“I knew you Chinese people would choose this,” Robert was a bit disappointed, clearly thinking that Sean’s choice not to solve the big trouble was a loss:

“Among those people, there’s a ringleader who mainly supports targeting you. As long as you take care of him, there’s a high chance the matter will be resolved.

Then, blame it on another gang, and let the two gangs fight each other, and nobody will bother you anymore!”

“I like this idea, let’s do this!”

“Alright, 10,000 dollars.”

“Deal!”

It’s just 10,000 dollars to solve the problem!

After paying the money, Sean took the jewelry and drove to Mr. John’s Bar.

It was the weekend, so there were fewer people in the bar.

Sean placed the jewelry box on the bar counter, and under some people’s inattention, Mr. John took the jewelry box to the counter under Sean’s expressive management.

“Have a drink?”

“Alright!”

Sean was in a great mood, planning to have a drink.

“Sean, I heard you didn’t find any good stuff in your last two container auctions.” Someone in the bar shouted loudly.

Mr. John was about to argue after hearing this. Still, Sean shook his head at him, turned around, and pretended to be depressed on purpose:

“Yeah! I thought I could make several tens of thousands of dollars like I did a week ago. But not only did I not make any, but I also lost quite a bit!”

“Hahahaha!” Some people laughed.

Others consoled:

“Sean, that’s normal! Container auctions aren’t that easy to get rich off! Otherwise, we old fellas would have gone to them already, how could we still be staying here?”

Sean just listened and drank without saying a word.

It wasn’t until Mr. John finished looking at the jewelry and closed the box that he said to Sean:

“These pieces of jewelry, just estimating from the material alone, can be sold for about seventy to eighty thousand dollars. Especially one of the rubies, its quality is outstanding!”

Sean was pleasantly surprised, even higher than he had imagined!

“However, I think the style of some of the jewelry is quite unique. We need to find a professional to appraise it. If they’re antiques, they’ll be worth even more money!”

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you!” Sean trusted Mr. John very much, “I’ll wait for your good news.”

After finishing the beer in his glass and swirling the pen in his hand, he greeted a few alcoholics and left.

Mr. John originally wanted to remind him of something but sighed as he watched Sean’s back, not saying anything.

That afternoon, Sean received a phone call from Mr. John.

“The jewelry has been appraised. One of the bracelets is an old model, tracing back more than a hundred years ago.

However, due to various degrees of exposure to seawater, these pieces of jewelry were sold for a total of 110,000 dollars.

Deducting my commission of 10,000 dollars, the remaining 100,000 dollars will be transferred to your card.”

Sean happily whistled:

“That’s fantastic!”

An income of 100,000 dollars, this is an entrance threshold!

Sean remembered some things Mr. John had mentioned to him.

Don’t look down on Mr. Madden, Elder and Little Joey, and others, dressing plainly and speaking crudely, but each of them actually has a net worth of over a million!

These people accumulated their wealth with their discerning eyes and luck.

So, never underestimate anyone who insists on bidding during container auctions; they may not look impressive, but their net worth could be many times yours!

Sean was thrilled and planned to pick up Joanna.

However, Joanna called:

“My parents are back, so I need to go home tonight…”

Well, Sean could only curse under his breath.

His perfect plan was ruined, so Sean had to go to the library and read—to enrich himself, gain more wealth, whether in knowledge or money.

At that time, Robert called:

“You’d better find a more obvious place tomorrow, let many people know where you are.”

Sean understood immediately and replied:

“Alright, tomorrow, I will participate in a container or warehouse auction, so there’ll be plenty of people who can testify where I am.”

“That’s good.” Robert added:

“By the way, the matter of the will is almost settled, but you have to give me another 30,000 dollars. This is the money to buy a photocopy of the will.”

30,000 dollars for one sheet of paper!

Sean originally thought he was doing pretty well, making 100,000 dollars in just one day.

But now it seems that he’s really spending more than he’s earning!

This one sheet of paper is worth 30,000 dollars!

However, he obediently transferred the money over.

After all, this is related to his innocence and fortune!
