Chapter 627 Spend More Time with Your Children

"You can't go for this!" Xiao Peng said, "Moro, just do what I ask you to do for the next month. I'll go on video and get some food!"

After hearing this, Moro said with a bitter face: "Boss, I..."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Peng said, "You've all worked hard during this period. Although you haven't achieved any credit, you've worked hard... so you should relax for a while."

Moro blinked and said, "Boss, I would be happier if you didn't say 'no credit'."

"Wait a moment." Xiao Peng operated the computer for a moment and said, "You have one million in your account right now. Cabaye, Varane, and Dio each have two hundred thousand. This is your bonus for walking the dog in the Mediterranean."

"Wait? Four hundred thousand for me?" Moro became excited.

Xiao Peng raised his middle finger. "You wish! You only have 200,000. Give the remaining 200,000 to Bellucci. I've already told Bellucci and Clementine that you're all going on vacation together this time, and we're all running around outside all day. It's so unfair to the children. Emile is okay, Pascal is much more responsible than me, but Cathy is too pitiful. You said she's such an irresponsible father. He tried his best to snatch her back from her mother, but he didn't take good care of the child. If I had known this would happen, I would have let her live with her mother..."

"Boss, I was wrong! Stop nagging me!" Morrow said helplessly, "I just want to make more money to create a better life for Cathy. You don't have children, so you don't know what it's like to be a father!"

Xiao Peng snorted coldly, "I have no experience as a father, but I know what children think! What children need more is the company of their family! No matter how much money you give Cathy, it's better to spend more time with her!"

Moro muttered softly, "You said I made sense, but I didn't see you accompany Emile!"

Xiao Peng's face flushed: "Legally speaking, Emile was adopted by Pascal!"

"Is that your and Pascal's child?" Moreau said with a wicked smile!

"Give the bonus back!" Xiao Peng jumped up in anger.

Moreau laughed heartily. "I'm not going to get this money back! I'm going to take the kids and run away! With 200,000 yuan for an event, where can we go? To the North Pole! Yes, the North Pole! I'll take the kids on a good trip! Boss, I'm hanging up the video. If you need anything, write down what you want to say to me, put it in a bottle, and throw it into the Seine. If I find the bottle in the Mediterranean, I'll get back to you!"

"Don't forget Bellucci and Clementine!" Xiao Peng said quickly when he saw Moro about to hang up the video: "Safety is the most important thing when you're out!"

Moreau extended his hands, made an OK sign, and hung up the video.

Xiao Peng looked at the note on the table and fell into deep thought.

Drake's treasure?

Although Drake became the "benchmark figure" and "super idol" of pirates in that era, he was penniless when he died.

There are many different opinions about the whereabouts of Drake's wealth at that time. Xiao Peng does not believe the mainstream statement of British historians.

According to the mainstream view, Drake, a great hero who "served his country and his people", used the wealth he plundered to build a fleet to fight against the Spaniards; another view is that because Drake's earliest sponsor when he went to sea as a pirate was Sir Haydn of England, he gave a large amount of wealth to Sir Haydn.

But Xiao Peng didn't believe these claims at all.

What's Drake's main job? Pirate!

Which pirate wasn't selfish? Which pirate wasn't greedy for money? The so-called "rebellion due to oppression" is all a glamorization of "cultured people." All history is photoshopped!

Throughout human history, there have been at least 80 million pirates, if not a billion! Has anyone ever left any records of their treasures? Even if modern people have discovered pirate treasures, it's usually by accident!

It's no exaggeration to describe Drake as "rich enough to rival a nation." He plundered countless treasures from the Spanish, otherwise they wouldn't have chased him around the world. But even though he later enjoyed the life of an aristocrat as a naval commander, he still spent most of his time adrift at sea. How could he have spent his wealth? Therefore, many people firmly believe that Francis Drake's treasure must be hidden somewhere in the world, simply undiscovered.

According to this letter, Father Ball discovered the location of Drake's treasure through investigation and reported it to the Archbishop of Canterbury in exchange for his future. However, the ship sank before the report was even made...

But Xiao Peng was still skeptical about the letter. First, was Father Ball really so honest as to report everything to the Archbishop of Canterbury right away? And even if he was truly honest, was his investigation accurate?

All of this needs to be investigated first!

However, such investigations often come back empty-handed. There are countless people in this world who want to find pirate treasures, but only a handful of them actually find them. Why should Xiao Peng waste his time looking for these things?

What was Drake's treasure? It was easy to guess: gold, silver, and jewels! And Xiao Peng had plenty of those three things. Wasting time on them? Xiao Peng simply didn't want to do that.

However, if this is true, it would be a world-shaking discovery: this would be the first real and reliable treasure map in human history!

So Xiao Peng was also struggling over whether or not to investigate this matter.

In fact, if they really found it, the shameless British would definitely come to claim it. After all, at that time, British pirate ships were, in a sense, "warships." Britain had ownership of shipwreck finds, and this treasure map could be said to be British. Moreover, although Francis Drake was originally a pirate, he was indeed a nobleman with a title! He was a legitimate "Lord." In any case, it would either be the British who would come after it, or some "Drake's descendants" who would suddenly appear from nowhere. It would definitely be a never-ending lawsuit.

This matter really needs to be left to Pascal. He likes cultural relics and will be very interested in such things.

But now he is still busy dealing with the gold matter. I will discuss this matter with him after he is done. If he is interested, then do it. If he is not interested, then forget it!

Now there is something more important to Xiao Peng: he is hungry.

This room has an automatically enclosed balcony of nearly 160 square meters. Although it's late autumn and winter in Paris, the weather isn't particularly good, the temperature inside the enclosed balcony is still pleasant. You can even enjoy a swim in the pool... There are only four suites on the top floor of "France's First Tourist Building"! The luxury is beyond imagination!

Xiao Peng walked to the oven on the balcony and just took out a lamb spine and was about to prepare something to eat when the doorbell suddenly rang again!
