"Hey, Guret, how come you have time to call me?" Chen Zhao was surprised by Guret's sudden call. "Is there news from Treasure Island?"
"There's some progress, but we're still investigating," Guret said. "Chen, where are you now?"
"Of course. Why do you ask?"
"At home? On the boat? "Guret asked.
Chen Zhao was stunned. He looked at the Meryl in the distance.
"That fishing boat disguised as a fishing boat is yours?"
"It's mine," Guret answered honestly.
"I found it," Chen Zhao said. "It's been more than half a year."
"Got it. I'll have them leave now."
Guret wouldn't suspect that Chen Zhao was targeting her.
The two were still in their honeymoon phase.
They wouldn't scheme against each other over an ordinary boat.
"Tell them to leave this area," Chen Zhao said.
Chen Zhao let the Meryl go.
Portia didn't understand what the fishing boat was doing.
It was going to charge over aggressively, but now it turned around and escaped.
Portia didn't know.
They could only escape with Chen Zhao's permission.
The group of people played until dawn. Portia was so sleepy that she went to bed by herself.
The next day, when Portia woke up, she saw the deck filled with gold and silver.
However, everyone's share was clearly divided.
Portia ate breakfast, which was as sumptuous as usual.
But she still didn't see the chef.
The Supernatural Organization didn't go into the water anymore.
They'd fished out most of the gold that could be found.
The rest had either sunk into the mud at the bottom of the sea.
Or they'd been washed away by the current.
Then there was some silver.
Silver wasn't very valuable.
At least, it wasn't high on the market.
They didn't want to waste any more time on silver.
The Hydra finally returned to the ship.
Other than the empty-handed Portia, everyone had a great harvest.
The gold bricks all weighed two kilograms. Based on the current price of gold, each brick was worth seventy to eighty thousand dollars.
The gold content of these gold bricks was quite high. They should have been produced and crafted at the beginning of the last century.
The more people picked up three or four gold bricks, while the less had at least one.
There were more silver coins, but the price of silver was much higher than gold tea.
To them, this was a huge windfall.
Everyone was in a good mood.
Except for Portia …
"Portia, don't be disappointed. This is for you." Gaia stuffed a silver coin into Portia's hand as a form of consolation.
Portia felt even more stifled …
…
"Xin Li, are you really going to look for the Golden Apple?"
Fali had already learned from Chen Zhao, and Chen Zhao had also agreed.
However, Fali's current identity was Xin Li's adoptive mother.
Chen Zhao still asked Xin Li to convince Fali herself.
"Auntie Fali, can you agree?"
Actually, Chen Zhao had already told Fali some of the reasons.
Fali was more worried about Xin Li's safety.
Fali was silent for a moment. "I only have one request."
"I'll agree to any request," Xin Li said impatiently.
He looked at Fali with pleading eyes.
"If you're in danger, call your uncle."
"Okay," Xin Li answered without thinking.
"Actually, Chen and I have been asking about the legendary Treasure Island," Fali said. "I hope you can come with us when we go to look for it."
Xin Li hugged Fali, touched. She was in her rebellious phase.
However, she was also the easiest to be touched.
A person's intelligence usually reached its peak at around 12 years old. Adults only lacked knowledge and a healthy worldview.
Chen Zhao promised Xin Li that he would let her go out for a walk.
He didn't really want her to find the Golden Apple.
Chen Zhao just wanted her to go out and build a complete worldview.
Why were university students always muddle-headed for two to three years after graduating from school?
It was because they couldn't build a truly complete worldview in school.
This was also why people always joked that society was the best university.
However, Chen Zhao's idea was that she had to go to school and train herself.
School could impart knowledge and society could train her.
Just then, Collan ran in from outside, his face full of excitement.
Fali glanced at him. "Collan, what are you doing here?"
"Ms. Fali, where's Mr. Chen?"
"Here, sunbathing in the yard."
Collan saw Chen Zhao lying in the yard.
Sometimes, he really felt that Chen Zhao's lifestyle was like that of a cultivator.
It was completely the lifestyle of a 70-year-old man.
To any young person, sunbathing was unimaginable.
Collan ran into the yard again. "Mr. Chen."
Chen Zhao was dozing off. He pulled down his sunglasses and glanced at Collan.
"What?"
"Mr. Chen, my dad agreed."
"Agreed to what?"
"Dad agreed to go find the Golden Apple with Xin Li, Lisa, and Mr. Luang."
"Engelite agreed?" Chen Zhao was surprised. "What about your mom?"
"She agreed too."
"I see. I'll call and confirm," Chen Zhao said.
Chen Zhao thought that Engelite wouldn't agree.
After all, Collan was studying at UCLA now. It wouldn't be easy for him to convince his parents.
Chen Zhao picked up his phone and called Amy first.
Engelite was a spiritualist, so it was more likely that he would agree.
The possibility of Ai Mi is not high.
If Ai Mi had agreed, then Engelite should have also agreed.
"Hey, Amy, it's Chen."
"Mr. Chen, did Collan go to your place?"
"Collan said that you agreed to let him take half a year off and go find the Golden Apple?"
"Yes, I agreed," Amy answered.
"Why?"
"Mr. Chen, didn't you agree to your adopted daughter too? Since you can agree, why can't I?"
"Uh … I have my own thoughts." Chen Zhao smiled bitterly.
Chen Zhao stood up. He didn't care about his children's grades. He wanted them to have a complete world view and a correct way of thinking.
"I think that you'll find a way to protect Collan," Amy said honestly. "It's good for him to go out. He's never really left Engelite and my side since he was young."
"I can't completely guarantee his safety. There's actually a certain amount of risk involved in this matter."
"There's no such thing as absolute safety. Even if you're at home, there's always the possibility of disaster falling from the sky."
"What does Engelite think?"
"He also agreed. Actually, it was Engelite who convinced me."
