Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets-Chapter 73 - Combining Treasure Maps

Emily found it too boring and dragged Monica to see the cattle instead.

Another warehouse was also full of old items. After turning everything over, there was nothing useful found.

Sean was a bit discouraged.

He wiped his sweat, took out his notebook, and looked at the photo again.

Sean always felt that there was a mystery in the photo.

But now there were no clues.

There was no harvest in the third warehouse either. Jason had already driven the truck back. Sean and the others loaded the remaining worthless old furniture onto the truck and had it hauled away for disposal.

At noon, everyone was tired, and Emily came over to Sean and said:

“Sean, we are all hungry, can you cook lunch?”

Sean said irritably:

“We’re tired from moving things, and have no energy left. How can we have the strength to cook? You didn’t do anything, why don’t you cook?”

As soon as cooking was mentioned, Emily blushed. Not only did she blush, but even Monica’s face turned red.

It turned out that last night, the two of them vowed to learn to cook by following a video.

What they made was barely edible, at least it wasn’t charcoal-black.

But let’s not mention the taste.

In short, it was a disaster.

That’s why they asked Sean to cook today.

Sean didn’t know about this, and he ignored the two of them. After finishing speaking, he walked towards the pickup truck parked in the courtyard.

There was a package on the back seat of the pickup truck. Sean took it and placed it on the small table in the courtyard.

“Come on over, everyone!” Sean called out to the others.

Jason and the others washed their hands and walked over, laughing, but didn’t sit down.

There were only four seats at the small table, and Jason and his siblings stood.

Sean sat down, opened the package, and took out a thermal lunch box.

“There’s food?” Monica and Emily were discussing whether to go back to the city to buy some fast food when they saw Sean’s movements, and they couldn’t help feeling a little surprised.

Sean answered their question with action – he opened the lunch box, and neatly arranged inside were meat sandwiches!

“Here, take one each to start with.” Sean handed them out to Jason and the others. “Thank goodness Freya made enough.”

It wasn’t that Sean took the lead, but rather that Jason and the others were very conscious that if they touched something and it wasn’t clean, Sean might not eat it.

In the eyes of this family, Sean was their boss and deserved to be respected.

Monica and Emily curiously each took a meat sandwich and started eating in small bites.

The shredded beef, green peppers, and onions were cooked in the traditional Chinese method, with ingredients being pepper and cumin, resulting in an incomparably authentic taste.

Seeing the surprised and delighted look in the eyes of the two girls, Sean smiled.

Except for Monica Brown and Emily Taylor, who each got two, everyone else had three — they’re all doing physically demanding work, so eating less doesn’t give them enough energy.

The large amount of food Freya made was completely consumed in the end.

Strong tea was also included in the lunch box. After finishing the meat sandwich, having a cup of tea helps get rid of the greasy feeling and quenches the thirst, which is really enjoyable!

After half an hour’s rest, they resumed work.

The main building had been cleaned up, and the afternoon’s work was mainly in the miscellaneous warehouse.

As the warehouse door was opened, some pigeons fluttered out, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Sean Knight sneezed several times, waved his hand to fan away the dust, and looked inside. The sight inside made him frown.

The warehouse was large, and there was plenty of clutter inside. But now there was a layer of pigeon feces on everything, and the stench hung in the air.

Upon smelling the odor, Monica Brown and Emily Taylor, both girls, immediately covered their noses and retreated.

Sean took a quick glance and found that what was stored here were agricultural tools, and some discarded or old tools for farming and raising oxen.

Nothing unusual was found at first glance.

Subconsciously, Sean scanned the room with his Sky Eye and immediately discovered something at the very back of the warehouse!

At the very back of the warehouse, a square cabinet, its color indistinguishable, was hidden behind piles of miscellaneous items. The cabinet door was open, and inside was a small hidden compartment containing a stack of documents and letters.

This stuff was definitely valuable!

Sean suddenly became interested and called out:

“Come on, let’s clean it up!”

Jason Caldwell and the others had no problem with such an environment and quickly began cleaning up with Sean.

Not everything stored here was worthless. Some items looked old, but once cleaned and tidied up, they could still be sold secondhand.

While cleaning, Sean figured that just these secondhand tools alone could be sold for hundreds of dollars.

After more than an hour of cleaning up the clutter, all that remained was the cabinet.

Sean walked up and touched it, and was surprised to find that it was a large iron cabinet.

He grabbed some tools to clean off the top and found that although it was severely rusted, its style resembled a very old-fashioned safe.

Inside the cabinet, there were several small baskets, and the contents of these baskets had long since dried out and rotted. Sean couldn’t recognize them, so he took them out and handed them to Eiris Perez to dispose of.

He pulled out a flashlight, turned it on, and stuck his head into the cabinet to inspect it.

Sure enough, the interior of the cabinet seemed ordinary, but upon close comparison, one could see that the two sides of the iron cabinet were not symmetrical in width.

He tapped the inner left side of the cabinet with the back of the flashlight, producing a dull thud with a hollow resonance.

Jason, who was standing by, asked:

“Bosuns, is there something inside this cabinet?”

“Yes.” Sean backed out and told him:

“Go get the cutter machine from the truck… never mind, let’s just move the cabinet out first.”

The iron cabinet was extremely heavy, but fortunately, Jason, Eiris, and Malawi Perez were all in good shape, and Sean, after being strengthened, was much stronger than ordinary people. The four of them slowly lifted the cabinet out of the warehouse.

Once the cabinet was placed outside, Sean and Jason started working on it, while Eiris and Malawi voluntarily cleaned up the remaining little garbage in the warehouse.

Then, Sean brought the cutter machine, and Jason connected the electrical wire from the house for him to carefully begin cutting.

Seeing Sean cutting the iron cabinet, Emily Taylor and Monica Brown curiously gathered around to watch.

Sean reminded them:

“Stay back, don’t get splashed by the sparks.”

Monica Brown and Emily Taylor quickly backed away.

As Sean cut a square piece of the iron cabinet’s side off, the space inside was revealed.

He reached in carefully, grabbed a stack of documents, and pulled it out.

“There really is something inside!” Emily Taylor and Monica Brown exclaimed in surprise as they looked at each other.
