Chapter 76 -76: Does This Count as Messing Up?
Sean Knight quickly picked up the phone, and Robert asked from the other side:
“Sean?”
“It’s me.” Sean Knight took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, asking:
“Is the mission complete?”
“Half of it is done…”
Sean’s heart instantly jumped into his throat, and he quickly asked:
“What do you mean half done?”
“I got the thing…”
Upon hearing that, Sean’s heart sank a little; however, he was still puzzled: “So…”
He couldn’t understand why it was considered half done if the thing was already obtained.
“But after we got the will, we were discovered by the other party. Elson Johnson’s bodyguard injured our people.
For now, we can’t show our faces; I think Elson must have guessed that it has something to do with you…”
Sean really wanted to curse!
What’s going on!
He previously thought that Robert and the others were reliable!
But they messed up at the crucial moment!
“What about the will?”
“It’s with us, but we can’t show our faces for a while, and it’ll take some time before we can hand it to you.”
“Take a photo and send it to me.” After the above incident, Sean was a bit distrustful of this guy.
“Alright.”
Soon, a photo was sent over. Sean compared it with the copy he had, and it looked like the real deal.
That’s good!
“Well, you guys be careful. If you need my help, I’ll do my best.”
“Sean, can you lend us some money?”
Robert really wasn’t shy at all!
“How much?”
“Not much, fifty-thousand dollars.” Robert didn’t ask for too much.
“I don’t have that much, I’ll only lend you thirty-thousand.” Sean had fifty-thousand, but he didn’t want to be taken advantage of.
“That works too.” Robert wasn’t picky, “Once we’re safe, we’ll pay you back with the current highest interest rate.”
After Sean transferred the money, he felt a little at ease about this matter.
Mainly, he wanted to get the jade pendant back as soon as possible. As for the manor, he didn’t care too much.
With Sky Eye, earning a manor shouldn’t take more than a year, right?

Early the next day, Sean went to have breakfast at Jason’s, then went to the Seven Axes Pub.
There weren’t many customers in the bar in the morning. Mr. John saw Sean and asked with a smile:
“Were you busy elsewhere yesterday?”
“Yes.” Sean took the beer Mr. John poured and placed it on the bar counter, “A friend introduced me to a moving job at a manor, and I ended up finding these.”
He took out a gold coin and a silver coin and put them on the bar counter.
Mr. John was a bit surprised, not expecting Sean to have his connections so quickly and find treasure!
He picked up the gold coin and examined it carefully, then looked at the silver coin, nodded, and shook his head, saying:
“This gold coin is obviously a privately minted one, more precisely, it should be cut from a gold stick. As for the silver coin, it’s indeed a circulated one.”
He looked up and asked Sean:
“Are you planning to sell them?”
“Yes.”
“How many do you have?”
“About eighty gold coins and nearly two hundred silver coins.”
Mr. John was taken aback:
“So many? In this case, you can make quite a lot of money!”
Sean Knight smiled.
“Wait for me to make a phone call.” Mr. John said while searching for a business card, “The silver coins you found last time were bought by a collector, and I think he would be interested in these gold and silver coins.”
Old John made the phone call, and the collector named George Shubert quickly drove over.
After a careful appraisal, Shubert valued Sean’s batch of gold and silver coins at 510,000 dollars.
Sean was shocked!
He really hadn’t expected these gold and silver coins to be so valuable!
Shubert explained:
“These gold coins are privately minted, so the price is not high. If they were circulating coins of that time, the price would be several times higher!”
Well, Sean thought it was fortunate that he was not in the collector’s circle, otherwise he would be at a loss!
Shubert wrote a check for Sean, handed another check to Mr. John, and happily took away the gold and silver coins.
Sean sighed:
“I have to pay a lot of taxes again!”
Mr. John laughed and said:
“Taxes are inevitable. But at least you can feel more at ease with this money, right?”
Sean agreed deeply.
After all, if he didn’t pay taxes, he might not be discovered.
But if he were discovered, that would be a big trouble!
Leaving the bar, Sean called Judy Morris and then went to the freight yard.
Today, there were three container auctions at the port, so Sean drove to the nearest one.
Since he was robbed by hoodlums on his way last time, Sean became more cautious and would drive instead of walking if possible.
When he drove to the freight yard, he found that the auction had already begun.
There were three containers up for auction at this freight yard, and the first one had already been auctioned off. It seemed that Elder and Little Joey had acquired ownership of the container.
Sean walked over, and others were surprised to see him.
Usually, Sean would come early.
But this time, Sean arrived much later.
Mr. Madden greeted him:
“Sean, why are you late today? Do you have other ways to make money?”
Sean shook his head:
“I overslept.”
“Joanna Davis must be more fun, huh?” Hamilton Diaz joked coldly.
Sean ignored him. They were not close enough to joke like this yet, and he didn’t want people talking about his girlfriend like that.
The assistant at the freight yard had already cut the lock of the second container, and the treasure hunters went forward to check it out. Hamilton Diaz, however, came over and tried to push Sean:
“I was talking to you, didn’t you hear me, Chinese boy?”
Sean already had an issue with Hamilton, and he didn’t expect him to make a move. However, his reaction was quick, grabbing Hamilton’s wrist and twisting it, turning his arm back!
Hamilton screamed in pain, attracting the attention of others.
Sean felt a bit shocked as well!
This guy’s arm strength was surprisingly strong. If he hadn’t activated his Sky Eye and improved his body’s quality through the energy in the jadeite, he might not have been able to overpower Hamilton!
“Remember, Joanna is my girlfriend, and I won’t allow you to talk about her like that!” Sean scolded Hamilton loudly, then pushed him away.
Hamilton stumbled forward a few steps before regaining his balance. He couldn’t take this, and turned around, roaring and pouncing at Sean!
Sean side-stepped agilely, hooked one foot, and pushed, causing Hamilton to fall flat on his face!
Some treasure hunters who didn’t know Sean very well were stunned to see this!
Hamilton got up again, spat out the soil in his mouth, and tried to fight Sean again, but someone else pulled him away.
Clearly, he wasn’t a match for Sean. If they continued to fight, Hamilton wouldn’t come out on top.
The freight yard assistant and auctioneer scolded Hamilton loudly, as they could see that it was he who was causing trouble. After scolding Hamilton, the auctioneer also told Sean to calm down, as this wasn’t a place to fight at random.
Although Hamilton was still discontent, he knew he couldn’t beat Sean, so he threw a few threats and stopped looking at him.
Sean didn’t regret his actions just now.
In this business, he was a lone wolf. If he wasn’t tough, he would be bullied by others sooner or later!
