Chapter 183 Some people always feel that they have had enough
"It's ridiculous, it's just a kid's joke." George said nonchalantly. He said to the bearded man with the face of Thanos. He didn't have any good impression of these people.
"How about selling it to me?" Big Beard asked loudly: "As you can see, I am a treasure hunter and I am very interested in these."
"They are all toys that children like, just sell them and forget about it." Cao Gui said with a smile.
George nodded in agreement.
The bearded man nodded when he saw this, turned around and walked back to the cabin, but the next second, he poked his head out again:
"Oh, by the way, I have a few targets over there. Please don't wander around, otherwise... it will be difficult for us to get along well."
The bearded man pointed to the sea area where the toy powder fell, and said calmly.
"We are tourists and have no interest in treasure hunting."
Cao Guidan said calmly, but his eyes narrowed slightly. If you dare to threaten me, if you change your size, I will immediately give up, but now yours is nothing.
"It's best this way, kid." The bearded man said something, turned around and left, and the treasure hunting boat also slowly sailed away.
"Come on, let's sail back. It's time to have lunch." George greeted, walked into the cabin, started the boat, and sailed towards the distant shore.
In the villa, George and Helen were cooking. The six of them had been swimming and diving for a whole morning, and they were already very hungry.
The remaining three people, Cao Gui and his sister and brother, were cleaning the things they found today. Among these things, the most valuable ones were undoubtedly a gold dagger, gunpowder cartridges, and two pistols.
After cleaning, it was discovered that the powder barrel and flintlock pistol were all made of silver, but they had reacted with sulfides after being buried in the sea for so long and turned very black.
Silver, a metal, turns black when it comes into contact with sulfides, so ancient people often used silver needles to test poisons for this reason.
However, the problem was not big. Cao Gui and Gwen started to find something and did a small experiment on reduction reaction, reducing the silver sulfide layer on the surface to its original appearance.
"Huh? There is writing on this pistol." Gwen said softly.
"Sister, what is it?"
"Let me see, let me see..."
Before Gwen could see it clearly, they snatched it away, but after a while, he stuffed something into Gwen's hand. Cao Gui looked at it and saw that the text on it should be Latin, either Spanish or Portuguese...
...or Italian writing, which someone Cao didn't recognize.
"Gwen, what do you mean now?" Cao Gui asked doubtfully.
"Sic semper tyrannis, the end of a tyrant" Gwen said: "To understand it in today's terms, it is the way of a tyrant."
"Then what does this sentence mean?" Cao Gui asked with a frown.
"I don't know, I have to look up the information," Gwen spread her hands.
Cao Gui picked up the silver gunpowder barrel and found that there were many lines on it. He took a closer look... Isn't this a map of the New Island in the Bahamas? It is also the map of the island they are currently standing on.
"We know this, it's the Zephyr!"
"Yes, we guessed it right, it's the Zephyr ship." The two little kids said excitedly.
"What Zephyr?" George and Helen came out carrying dishes and happened to hear his words.
"Two silver guns and silver powder cartridges, there was this man in American history."
"That's right, it's Tillmanthorpe. He was a big pirate and ruled most of South Florida." The two little boys sang in harmony.
"So the Zephyr is his ship?" Helen asked with interest. To be honest, she was quite interested in this kind of story.
"No, the Zephyr is the ship of a French merchant. This French merchant eloped with Tillmanthorpe's daughter and took away a large amount of gold and silver treasures."
"Yes, and the ship was sunk by Tillmanthorpe's daughter and the French businessman. They knew that Tillmanthorpe would definitely come to arrest them, so they sank the ship to make it look like it was false.
Don’t even want those treasures.”
"It's very romantic, sounds like a fairy tale." George commented from the side.
"Dad, these two things show that this is more than just a story." The little boy immediately retorted.
"OK OK, then you can continue to hunt for treasures." George said: "But once the vacation is over, you have to go back to class. Do you understand?"
"I know." The two little kids said weakly.
"In addition, I have good news for you. George chuckled: "The mayor has decided to restore all order in a week."
"In other words, you only have seven days left to hunt for treasure."
"Oh, NO!"
"God, my treasure!" The two little children suddenly cried and howled, beating their chests and stamping their feet.
…
It's late at night, the sky is high and the clouds are clear. A crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the sea is reflected in the waves.
Bates's treasure hunt boat...that is, the bearded one with Thanos' face, his name is Bates.
"Where are our things? Have you found them?"
A woman wearing a black lace skirt asked slowly. She was the same as the woman at the mountain top restaurant before, with an Asian face but a European and American temperament, and long tassel-like accessories on her earrings.
"We have narrowed the scope down to a very small area. If you give us some more time, we will find it soon." Bearded Bates said seriously.
"I remember you said that it only takes three days to find and fish it out." The Asian woman said slowly:
"You still have one last day to complete the task. My boss doesn't like others to fail or be delayed. If you fail...you know what will happen!"
The woman sneered, not giving the bearded man any face.
"Yes, I understand." Bearded Bates said seriously: "We will definitely succeed tomorrow."
"It's best like this...who are the people on that boat today?" The woman changed her subject and asked about Cao Gui and his group.
"I don't know..." Bearded Bates rolled his eyes and continued: "But they said they were here to hunt for treasure."
At this point, Bates said no more. He knew what it means to speak too much and make mistakes.
"Treasure hunting?" The woman frowned. The sea area where they appeared today was very close to the sea area where the crash occurred, which was an unstable factor.
"I understand." After the woman said this, she left the ship with her bodyguards, got on her own ship and flew away.
However, what they didn't notice was that a small black drone slowly rose into the sky and hung far behind them.
Moreover, a round spherical cloud in the sky also followed them from a distance, and followed them to a large yacht.
On the ball cloud, Cao Gui was a little surprised while holding the tablet. He originally wanted to teach the bearded man with the face of Thanos a lesson. It would be enough to beat them to paralysis, but he didn't expect that there would be additional gains.
The drone slowly descended, landed silently on the yacht, and began monitoring.
This drone is produced by S.H.I.E.L.D., and what stands out is that it is quiet and concealed.
On the deck, a dozen fully armed mercenaries with live ammunition were wandering around on the deck, holding assault rifles, and the defense was extremely tight.
"Crane, the other party said that our things are expected to be available tomorrow." The woman swayed and slowly leaned into the arms of a white man sitting on the seat.
"Well, that's good." The white man held the tablet and browsed the information on it.
"Arthur?" the woman asked in surprise: "Have we found him?"
"Found it, in Thailand." The white man said slowly: "But he is not easy to cooperate with. He is alone now and has no desires and needs. There is nothing we can do against him."
"Then how about creating some worries for him?" The woman smiled knowingly: "Find him a beautiful woman and let them fall in love. Then we will have many ways to deal with him."
The white man was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "That's a good idea, I'll leave this matter to you."
"What about this?"
The woman took the tablet and started operating it, and soon a face appeared, Jessica Alba, put on a blue tights and go to New York to be the invisible woman in the Fantastic Four.
"This is a shark keeper on that island. He is very beautiful and tough. He has strong mental endurance and won't cry."
"Hmm... This is good." The white man nodded, but changed the subject:
"But this woman is too strong. What we want is a woman who can arouse Arthur's desire for protection. When the time comes, Arthur will do his best to save her."
"Uh... That's it." After hearing this, the woman began to think, turned over the tablet, and placed a photo of a girl in front of the man:
"Then what do you think of this? Her parents, brother, and boyfriend are all here. We can easily control the woman, and then control Arthur... Moreover, what she is using now is Arthur's ship."
This photo is exactly that of Gwen.
Hearing this, the white man's eyes suddenly lit up: "This is good, then it's her."
In the sky, Cao Gui put down the tablet in his hand expressionlessly. These bastards are really interesting. They always feel that they have lived enough.
