Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets

The policeman didn't do as Tod had imagined, coming straight over to pin Sean down, search him, and then take him away.

He politely and courteously asked Sean:

"Do you have anything to say about this gentleman's accusations?"

"Of course!" Sean glanced at Tod and sneered:

"This Tod is talking nonsense! He hasn't said a single word of truth!"

Tod, feeling confident, asked:

"Where's the evidence? Can you prove it?"

"Of course!" Sean lifted his mobile phone and said, "I happened to turn on the video recording function when I bought the steel pipe."

After saying that, he played the video for the policeman to see.

Tod became a little flustered, but he still stubbornly said:

"Who knows when this video was recorded? I don't think it can be used as evidence!"

The policeman ignored him, took Sean's mobile phone and started watching.

In the video, Sean's hand held the mobile phone as he walked up to the garbage collector, haggled over the price, bought the steel pipe for twenty dollars, and then had a conversation with Tod and several other people.

After watching the video, the policeman turned to Tod and said sternly:

"This evidence shows that you lied! If you can't come up with strong evidence, this gentleman can sue you for defamation! Do you have anything to say?"

Tod was panicking!

In his view, even if he didn't know the policeman, shouldn't the policeman have just taken the Chinese boy away without question according to normal logic?

How did it turn out this way?

Seeing that Tod had nothing to say, the policeman directly took out handcuffs!

Tod was even more panicked, and he hurriedly said:

"Sir, I shouldn't have called the police! It's my fault! Please let me go!"

Don't think that all Latino Americans would stand up to the police. At least Tod is not that kind of person!

"Then you have to ask for that gentleman's forgiveness!" The policeman shrugged his shoulders, pointing at Sean.

Tod was left stunned.

He had no problem begging the policeman but hesitated to beg Sean for forgiveness.

"Either I take you away, or you apologize to him. Choose one."

"I'll apologize to him!" Tod clenched his teeth, walked up to Sean, and said softly:

"Sean, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let jealousy cloud my judgment and falsely accused you. I apologize to you..."

He knew that as soon as he said this, he might lose face in the Port District.

But to avoid being arrested, he had no choice!

"I accept your apology and hope you can really remember this in the future. But you have to return the gun parts first!"

Under everyone's gaze, Tod hesitated for a moment.

Sean whispered:

"If it comes to the police searching you, you'd be in trouble!"

Tod reluctantly retrieved a part from his pocket and handed it to Sean.

Sean knew that Tod didn't want to apologize and wouldn't really think he was in the wrong.

However, at this point, Sean was very satisfied.

The policeman nodded and walked away.

Madden came over and said loudly to Sean:

"Sean, you did the right thing! Tod, it's Sean who saved you! If the policeman really searched you, you'd be done! You'd have to spend at least a few months in jail!"

Everyone else had the same expression.

Tod, who was absolutely furious, had no choice but to smile and go along with everyone's words.

It felt good to see him like this!

As the crowd dispersed, Tod hurriedly left.

Judy came over and asked Sean:

"Sean, do you know that policeman?"

Sean shook his head and pointed to the props, asking:

"Do you still want it?"

"Of course I want it,"

Sean didn't want to deal with Judy Morris that much. Her avoidance just now hurt his pride.

"Let's talk about the price after I've had a look!" He went forward to install the part, but he wasn't very skilled. Judy took over, assembled it skillfully, and tested it before placing the gun down satisfied.

After inspecting everything, Judy thought and said:

"The most valuable one is the Maxim gun, followed by these two old-fashioned rifles."

So they were rifles; Sean thought they were old-fashioned hunting rifles.

"All together, twenty-five thousand dollars."

"That's too low, at least thirty thousand dollars!" Sean said discontentedly.

"Alright, deal!" Judy agreed readily.

Sean was stunned, realizing he had been tricked!

Judy might have guessed he would bargain!

A fox-like woman!

It's too late since the words have been spoken.

Sean collected thirty thousand dollars and watched as Judy, still smiling, had her men load the stuff onto the car and drive away. Before she left, she made a point to say:

"Sean, you're a good trading partner. If you have similar items in the future, remember to contact me."

Sean swore never to contact her again!

Although he had made quite a bit of money, he wasn't feeling great about it!

After tidying up the garbage and taking the steel pipe back to the container, he took out his angle grinder and slowly began grinding the pipe.

There's definitely more than those five silver coins in it!

But even those five had enraged Tod Collins, if more were revealed, Sean might have bigger problems!

The steel pipe was cut open, revealing several items wrapped in paper balls.

Unfolding the paper revealed silver coins, small golden bars, and even glass pieces!

Sean was dumbfounded. Why were these broken things hidden inside...wait!

These couldn't be glass, right? Is there a chance they're transparent gemstone rough?

Upon further cleaning, there were a total of twenty-one silver coins, three gold nuggets, and five glass pieces resembling gemstones.

That was it.

Sean was puzzled, what kind of person would throw away something worth a small fortune, or had they forgotten about it?

There were two possibilities: either they had really forgotten about it, or whoever had the steel pipe before didn't know there were things inside.

Sean wrapped up the items and headed to the Seven Axes Pub.

As Mr. John saw Sean, he laughed and said:

"Sean, it looks like your harvest today was substantial! Judy said your luck was excellent!"

Sean placed the small package on the counter, opened it, and said:

"Perhaps this month is my lucky month! I have to make more money while my luck is still good!"

John opened the package and saw the silver coins, raising his eyebrows:

"Well-preserved little treasures - huh? Is this...a sapphire rough stone?"

Mr. John looked up at Sean:

"Sean, your luck is incredible! This isn't something you could get easily!"

Sean just smiled without saying a word.

"By the way, I heard you offended that troublemaker Tod. Do you want me to talk to him?"

"No need, I can handle it."

"The Port District Latinos have quite a group. Although Tod isn't a core member, if you offend him, it's like offending those Latino Americans. Be careful in the future."

Sean felt a chill in his heart; this could indeed be troublesome.

"I suggest you lay low for a while," Mr. John said. "There's a suitcase auction at the airport tomorrow; you could give it a try."

"Alright!" Sean agreed immediately.

"These little treasures, I'll help you contact buyers. I think they're worth at least fifty thousand dollars...Sean, you really surprised me!"

Sean smiled. Great luck?

Not really. It was just that Sean had Sky Eye, that's all.
