"Shaw, what are you doing? Why aren't you back yet? We don't have much time." Ian's shout woke Shaw up from his deep thoughts.
Shaw immediately replied, "Okay, we'll go over now." Shaw struggled internally for a while before he said to William, "Okay, Mr. Devonshire, you win. Before we find the treasure, I'll tell you about it. If we find the treasure, our agreement will be voided."
William once again witnessed the power of money. He had bribed his opponent with one million. He nodded satisfactorily and said, "Of course."
"Let's go. Ian will be here soon. Let's talk as we walk." William led Shaw slowly towards the Sherlock.
"Shaw, besides our agreement, you can tell Ian and the others what I told you. I don't want anyone to plot against me, so we don't have to waste our energy."
"I understand. I'll talk to Ian and the others. I don't think anyone wants to perish with you. We haven't lived long enough. Isn't the purpose of finding the treasure so that we can live better lives?
I even think that if you give my three companions a million pounds each, they will work for you. Although Ian is not bad, he is not a billionaire. What do you think? "
"We'll talk about it later. Four million pounds is a piece of cake to me. Everything depends on the treasure. If we find the treasure, I won't mistreat you. I'll give you cash from the Swiss National Bank. You don't have to pay taxes."
"Understood, Boss."
William laughed in his heart. He had become a boss just like that?
When the two of them got closer, William heard Ian sitting on the Sherlock and laughing with Ben Gaetz as he said, "Thank you, Ben. Without you, we wouldn't have found the Sherlock. Though the future is uncertain, we have a clue. With a clue, we can continue our search."
Ben Gaetz patted Ian's shoulder and laughed heartily as he said, "Without your help, I wouldn't have found this place. This is our contribution. When we find the clue, we should have a drink to celebrate."
"That's right, we should celebrate. When we return to the town, we'll open champagne."
Ian and Ben Gaetz were chatting happily when they saw Shaw Fisher and William walking over.
Xiao didn't wait for Ian to ask and said, "Boss, I have something important to tell you."
Ian looked at Shaw and saw that his expression was very serious. He nodded and said to Ben Gatz apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have to deal with some personal matters. You guys go ahead and get ready."
Gates nodded. "No problem. Go do what you need to do."
Ian led Shaw and three other men to the snowmobile and lowered his head as he spoke. William did not care what Ian and the others were saying. He walked over to Riley and said, "Buddy, I'm sorry. I haven't asked your name and what you do for a living. You don't look like a professional treasure hunter."
Riley replied excitedly, "Hello, Mr. Devonshire. My name is Riley Poole. I'm a computer expert."
Computer expert? William's interest was piqued. He chatted with Riley about computers. As they chatted, William realized that Riley was an expert in computers. He was not the kind of person who only knew how to use computers.
He thought that this guy was really good. Maybe he would need to use this guy in the future.
Thinking of this, William's attitude towards Riley became even better. Riley couldn't help but have a good impression of William. He felt that William, the legendary tycoon, was really approachable and easy to talk to. He didn't feel arrogant at all.
The two of them chatted and laughed, which made Ben Gaetz feel a little jealous. He cursed Riley in his heart. We're in the same group, okay? It hasn't even been a few minutes and he's already chatting so happily with the guy who has a grudge with me.
He wanted to interrupt but couldn't. William and Riley were talking about computers, which made Ben Gaetz feel a little depressed. "Riley, we should pack our equipment. We'll be getting off the boat in a while."
Riley, who was talking about the most important part, did not have time to care about the equipment. "Wait, Ben, wait for me."
Ben Gaetz looked at Riley speechlessly. He wondered if he should leave Riley, who had a negative EQ, alone in the future. Why couldn't he understand him?
It took Ben Gaetz more than ten minutes to pack up the equipment. When Ian and the others came back, Riley and William stopped talking and waited for Ian's orders.
William looked at Ian and the others with a smile and did not speak. The five of them felt a little uncomfortable under William's gaze. After hearing about the layout and power of William, they looked at William differently. Their eyes were filled with depression, fear, and helplessness.
Ian wanted to kidnap William, but before he could do anything, Shaw's words extinguished the thought. Ian thought that as long as William did not interfere with their search for the treasure, he would never provoke William. He could not kill William, and no one could stand being hunted down by their whole family, let alone by the Continental Hotel and the Swiss National Bank.
They didn't dare to beat William up. What good would it do to beat him up? According to Shaw, if they really beat William up, William would definitely take revenge.
Everyone cursed in their hearts. It was better to stay away from these rich people in the future. If they couldn't provoke them, they could just hide. When they found the treasure, they also wanted to be rich. They would set up a revenge fund so that no one would dare to touch them. Even if it wasn't a hundred million pounds, a million would be enough.
If William heard what these guys were thinking, he would laugh himself to death. Did they really think that the Swiss National Bank would set up a revenge fund for their customers? This kind of fund was not legal. Did the Swiss National Bank not want to live a comfortable life? Only fools would set up such an illegal fund for their customers. Only those banks that were not public would do such a thing.
Ian didn't say much. He didn't want to talk to William now. He pretended that William didn't exist and said to his people, "Okay, let's get started. Let's find the treasure."
Everyone became excited when they heard that they were going to get off the ship to look for the treasure. Ian led Shaw and a man named Victor off the ship first.
The other two men stayed on the deck and watched the snowmobiles. William was the last to get off the ship after Ben Gates and Riley. He had the psychic power to scan the ship. When he was talking to Riley, he had already scanned the ship clearly.
There was no sign of the treasure at all. There were only rusty cannons and barrels of gunpowder in the front hall.
As soon as William got off the ship, he heard Riley's trembling voice. "God, why are there so many unrotten bodies here?"
Ben Gates said helplessly, "Calm down, Riley. Think about where we are. I'm warning you, this is a treasure hunt, not a Boy Scout outing. Don't make a fuss about everything."
"But this place is really scary. Let's get out of here," Riley stammered nervously.
Ian and the others laughed. After searching carefully, they had no choice but to go down to the second level of the cabin. As soon as they came down, they saw a cabin door sealed with iron bars.
Ben Gates said excitedly to everyone, "This must be the cargo room. There might be treasure inside. Hurry up and open it."
Ben Gates' words reignited Ian and the others' desire for the treasure. William followed behind and watched the show. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to make sure that the ship was really like the one in the movies, he would have left long ago.
