When they saw the boxes of gold and silver jewelry, even Peng Jun was taken aback.
"Did you get all of these from the ruins?"
"These are not even a tenth of what's available! I only picked out gemstones and precious jewelry. There are also gold bars below."
Shi Tongguang: "Uncle Zheng! Shall I go down and help you?"
"No! It's not that easy to get in. You guys wait here for me! I'll try to get as much as possible while Octopus and the others aren't watching that place."
Peng Jun: "Then you have to act within your means, don't risk your life for money."
“I know! Mengjie, pull down the fishing net and give it to me.”
The rope we used earlier was too much trouble; we still have to tie each box together.
With a big fishing net, I can just scoop it up.
Gunfire could be heard in the distance, and I was working hard on my side.
In two days, I finally finished moving all those valuable jewels.
After carrying five more boxes of gold bars, I was completely exhausted and only then did I begin my return journey.
We need to go to Gam Island first, and then to Gaman.
We plan to take a break and inquire about the situation in other countries.
This round trip took another day and a half. We arrived in Gaman at noon, and strangely, there wasn't a single warship in the port.
However, we did see the psychic.
"President Peng! Where have you been these past few days?"
I quickly said, "Don't even mention it, we got lost after being chased by the giant octopus and almost didn't make it back."
"Oh? You encountered a giant octopus too? How did you escape?"
This is something we have to make up: "We don't know either, we just kept running and threw a few buckets of oil into it to burn."
We don't know when it stopped.
By the time we realized it, we were already far off course.
We only came back after I found a satellite signal.
Oh my god! I'm exhausted.
"What's the situation now? Where are the others?"
The psychic sighed: "We were also attacked by the octopus. In the end, we had to use our fighter jets to drive the octopus away, but our warships were also severely damaged."
The United States lost two warships, and we lost one. The ships from Japan, Germany, and France also did not return.
Nearly two hundred people from several countries have died. The militaries of all countries are now in shock. People have been evacuated here, ships need repair, and those that can be sailed have returned.
That bad? Were those ancestors too powerful?
"What do they mean by that castle?"
The psychic shook her head: "I don't know! I guess everyone is afraid that someone else will make the first move, so they're all discussing it!"
What are your plans?
Peng Jun spoke first: "We're planning to go back. We almost got into trouble with just one giant octopus, and now there are three, it's even more dangerous."
Besides, I don't think the castle is actually looking for a way to create antimatter; he just wants to make money, so we won't get involved.
Actually, that's what I think too. Without them drawing the fire, I'd be trembling with fear facing those three bastards!
Peng Jun really didn't need to say that first, and I didn't plan to go again anyway.
I continued, "We're refueling the boat, and then we're off."
Since you're not planning to go, you should hurry up and leave to avoid arguing with them.
Psychic: "Aren't you going treasure hunting anymore?"
"We're afraid we won't live to enjoy them!"
After I finished speaking, I went to buy oil, while Mengjie and Shitongguang went back to the hotel to pack their things.
We stopped at the pier for less than an hour before returning to Gam Island.
When I arrived at my company on Gaim Island, I first arranged for Peng Jun and the others to rest. I still needed to contact domestic transport planes to ship everything back.
I also have to thank Gem College; I bought over a dozen cases of good wine from a local winery and had them delivered.
I can't meet her. I have too many things to do and no time for it. I don't even have time to be intimate with Xiao Qingwan.
I'm afraid something might happen to those treasures, so I sleep in the warehouse.
...
The next day, as we waited for the transport plane to arrive, the castle called.
Peng Jun handed the phone to me directly.
"Mr. Zheng! How can you leave?"
"Castle! When the Mei army was about to bombard us, you didn't try to stop me!"
"This...it's all a misunderstanding. We just wanted you to stay away from us."
"Misunderstanding my ass! You've already started firing the gun. Let me tell you, I'm keeping this in mind, so don't you dare come looking for me again next time."
I hung up the phone as soon as I finished speaking, but the castle actually came looking for me.
It turns out this guy made the call from Gam Island.
When the gatekeeper said that someone named Castle wanted to come in, I felt my head explode.
That bastard probably doesn't know we've found treasure, does he?
Peng Jun stood up: "I'll deal with him, you should go about your business."
The thing is, I'm not that busy at all.
I called Xiao Qingwan and told her to take Meng Jie and Shi Tongguang to the warehouse. No one was allowed to approach until the plane arrived.
I then took the spear the castle had given me and went with Peng Jun to deal with the castle.
The castle and knights waited outside.
The knight said to us as soon as he saw us, "As members of the Shield organization, your departure without permission is irresponsible."
Heh? Another show-off.
"Oh? Now you know we're part of the Shield organization? When the Americans were driving us away, why didn't you say a word?"
Now they come running to me calling me a shield organization and irresponsible, screw them!
I launched into a tirade, which made the knight's eyes grow increasingly red.
Just as he drew the sword from his cane, Peng Jun suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Do you want to die?"
Peng Jun stood there, but the knight couldn't move, sweat streaming down his temples.
