Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets Chapter 1467 - 703

The sky was bright, and after breakfast, so fishern had already begun to dive into the water to salvage.

The sea territory beca exceptionally lively.

"Boss, what should we do?" Elijah Hastings asked.

"We’ll salvage our own," Sean Knight said with a smile. "These fishing boats shouldn’t have ideas about our catch. Of course, if they co over, we won’t be polite either."

The sea was vast, the ruins of the city underneath were expansive, and besides, this was soone else’s domain; it was best to quietly make a fortune. Hogging would only incite public anger.

Thus, they continued according to yesterday’s plans—so dived while others stayed on deck to lookout and stand guard.

Sean Knight looked around and saw that aside from two fishing boats not satisfied with their spots and searching for a better location, the other boats had stopped and begun diving to salvage, which put his mind at ease.

The people on these fishing boats were mostly equipped with basic scuba gear, and so even dove with only a pair of goggles.

They were truly risking their lives!

After seeing nothing out of the ordinary, Sean Knight donned his diving gear and went underwater to look for treasures.

Below was a marketplace about the size of a football field. Just in this area alone, there were roughly forty or fifty shop ruins of various sizes, so there was plenty to find.

After diving down, Sean Knight headed straight for his pre-determined target.

It was the largest shop nearby, roughly thirty to forty square ters – twice the size of the others.

And this shop sold porcelain; amidst the ruins were many crushed pieces, along with what could have been tea and raw silk, but it had all turned into ash in the rubble.

Although there was no shortage of boutique items among the porcelain, all were products of Min Kiln, which Sean Knight didn’t fancy, and intact pieces were few, so he didn’t bother with them.

However, because the shop was large, and the rchandise it sold was considered quite valuable in the Western Realm at that ti, there were many precious tals in the shop’s money chest.

Unlike the previous shop, most of the money stored in this shop’s chest had been cast into gold and silver ingots, as well as a large number of copper coins and bronze ware.

Sean Knight guessed that this shop might have been connected to so dostic rchant in China or was a branch of one. Because the gold and silver artifacts, similar to official silver, were niche in this area controlled by Western powers and difficult to spend.

Sean Knight found a suitable spot, crouched down, chased away an octopus in the silt, and began to dig with a sharp spade.

After removing the sand and soil, Sean Knight saw the rocks below and so wood not yet fully decayed.

So creatures adept at burrowing in the seafloor were also present.

Sean Knight looked around and saw no one – his team mbers were still digging about thirty or forty ters away.

He pressed down on the stone slab and took it into his spatial realm.

By accident, half a flounder was also taken in – the remaining half twitched and then went still.

What a sin!

This was purely unintentional for Sean Knight; he didn’t expect a fish to be underneath.

However, it didn’t matter much. Sean Knight grabbed the half fish, threw it aside, and its blood mixed with the seawater, instantly attracting a swarm of fish to tear and bite at it.

Sean Knight took the layers of stone slabs below and revealed a pit about two ters in diater.

The pit wasn’t even two ters deep, and the water was murky, but Sean Knight could already see layers of unevenly stacked golden ingots.

Originally, these ingots should have been neatly arranged on a wood shelf, but after the buildings collapsed, the shelves decayed, and the ingots fell scattered.

Because there was plenty of ti, this ti Sean Knight didn’t indiscriminately take the ingots and the bricks and soil; instead, he carefully sorted out the gold and silver ingots.

After half an hour’s effort, Sean Knight collected over 400 golden ingots, more than 700 silver ingots, and over 40 bronze wares.

There were also so scattered jewelry in the chest, but the pearls were too corroded to use, and picking up the scattered gemstones was troubleso; Sean Knight only picked so larger ones to take with him.

After searching and collecting, Sean Knight refilled the hole with stones, and the stirred-up silt once again muddied the water in that area.

Sean Knight, holding a sack of ingots, slowly surfaced. Just as he erged and was about to signal his team to collect the items, he noticed sothing strange nearby.

Two fishing boats were slowly approaching the yacht.

The fishing boats, which initially were at least two or three hundred ters from the yacht, were now less than 100 ters away, and Lincoln Harrington was shouting at the boats.

A team mber had already noticed Sean Knight and imdiately pulled him up.

"What’s going on?" Sean Knight asked as he removed his diving gear.

"Those two fishing boats seem to be here to disrupt us," the team mber said. "They were stopped about a kiloter away from us, and we didn’t pay attention.

But unexpectedly, after a while, they moved positions and stopped about 500 ters from us.

After a while, they ca even closer which was sowhat suspicious. Quinn’s idea was to give a verbal warning first, and if that doesn’t work, to fire a warning shot. If they still approach, then we’ll launch a missile!"

Sean Knight nodded; Lincoln Harrington’s approach was quite cautious.
