Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets-Chapter 44 - Humiliation

“Sean, how about you sell me this car too?”

“You want to buy it?” Sean was somewhat surprised. A farm owner should be buying a high-horsepower tractor, right?

“Yes, I want to buy it,” Henry answered truthfully, “My son is turning eighteen soon and I want to give him a gift.

This sports car might need some repair, but it looks okay. Besides, I can’t afford a new one right now.”

“How much are you willing to pay?”

“If it were new, it’d cost around 150,000 dollars. But it needs fixing, and if the engine has issues, the repair cost would be high…”

“What do you offer?” Sean asked.

“I offer… 60,000 dollars.” Henry thought for a moment before stating his offer.

“No, at least 75,000 dollars.”

Although Sean didn’t know much about cars, he figured if the engine had a problem, it would be scrapped.

So, he tried to haggle for half the price.

“Deal!” Henry happily reached out his hand.

Again, he made a deal for less!

Sean knew this was the second time, he just lacked experience!

But he thought, it wasn’t too bad – he still made over 50,000 dollars profit, what more could he ask for?

Henry paid the money cheerfully and called the workers that came with him, they brought a big truck and loaded all the stuff away.

After that, Sean and Jason cleaned up the remaining garbage – thankfully, there wasn’t much to deal with, and they finished quickly.

Sean took out 500 dollars and handed it to Jason, “This is your reward for today.”

“So much?” Jason’s eyes lit up, “Boss, you’re so generous!”

Of course, he was generous. The wage-earning class in America now earns only eight hundred to a thousand dollars weekly.

Jason earned 500 dollars just by helping out for one morning – how could he not be happy?

“Be more diligent in the future, and I’ll be even more generous.” Sean promised, waved to him, then turned to leave.

Jason happily took the money, shouting at Sean’s back:

“Boss, when you can, I’ll invite you to our home, and treat you to our special dishes!”

“Alright.” Sean waved goodbye, got into his pickup truck and left.

He bought a box of high-end cigars and went to Mr. John’s Seven Axes Pub.

Upon seeing Sean enter, his drinking buddies greeted him one by one. After responding to each of them, Sean went to the counter and pushed the box of cigars towards John.

“For me?” John was pleasantly surprised by the cigars, opened the box, took out one, sniffed it, and said blissfully:

“Mmm, it’s been a while since I’ve smoked such good cigars.”

Sean smiled and said, “If you run out, let me know, and I’ll get you some more.”

John put away the cigars and said to Sean:

“You don’t need to do this. Every time you bring out something good, I’ll take a cut.”

Sean shook his head and said:

“You’re right; one issue at a time. If it weren’t for you, I might already be fish food in the sea.”

“I really like your Chinese mindset.” John laughed, “You’ve had some good luck lately. Have you considered buying a house?”

Sean shook his head:

“Not for now. Robert needs more money and I don’t have enough yet. I need to save up a little longer.”

Old John nodded and didn’t ask further what the matter was. He asked:

“Need any help?”

“No, I think at this rate, it won’t take too long for me to save up enough.”

“That’s good. However, young people still need to relax appropriately. By the way, why haven’t I seen Joanna around lately?”

“Her parents are back, so they’ve been keeping a close eye on her.”

Old John thoughtfully nodded and then said:

“Sean, Joanna’s father is an extreme right-winger and has a natural prejudice against Chinese people. So you have to be careful…”

As Sean listened, he paused, then said impatiently:

“If you knew all this, why didn’t you say something earlier? Why did you encourage me to be with Joanna?”

Old John hinted with a smile:

“Joanna is a good girl, and you have nothing to lose by being with her. Besides, Joanna is Joanna, her father is her father; it’s not the same!”

Sean gave a bitter smile. How could it be unrelated? It was impossible for Joanna to live independently, like a little girl, from her parents.

It seemed that there were many difficulties to overcome on the road to love!

Returning to his rental place after leaving the Seven Axes Pub, Sean saw a luxury car parked outside the yard.

He got out of his car, and before he could enter the door, a young man got out of the luxury car and walked towards Sean.

This was a white youth, wearing evidently expensive, high-end clothes, looking like a successful, elite young man.

The youth walked up to Sean and asked arrogantly:

“Are you Sean Knight?”

“That’s me.” Sean immediately recognized that this was the person who had called him in the morning, telling him to stay away from Joanna.

Had he even come to where he lived?

Sean’s expression darkened.

“You, a yellow-skinned monkey, want to be Joanna’s boyfriend? Stop daydreaming! This is impossible! Drop that unrealistic idea and get out of here or else…”

“Bang!”

Before he could finish his sentence, Sean punched him in the stomach!

“Ah—”

With a scream, the young man doubled over like a shrimp, clutching his stomach, his face flushed, and unable to speak!

Sean grabbed him by the collar with both hands, hoisting the young man up, and coldly said to his face:

“Whether or not I’m Joanna’s boyfriend is none of your business! I advise you not to bother me again!

Also, I hate it when people call me a yellow-skinned monkey! Got it, you white-skinned pig?”

Having said that, he threw the youth out, who rolled several times on the ground before he struggled to get up.

“You’ll pay for this!” The youth, covering his bruised face, dropped a sentence before hurriedly getting into the car and speeding away.

Sean just entered the yard when his mobile phone rang. He picked up the call as he walked inside.

Joanna’s voice came through:

“Sean, I scolded George, that bastard who called you earlier, and told him not to bother you again…”

“You provoked him, so he came over to humiliate me, but I fought him off and he ran away.”

“Well done!” Joanna seemed to enjoy the chaos, “I’ve wanted to hit him for a long time!”

Sean laughed.

Fortunately, the backyard is sturdy!
