In a separate reception room isolated from the office area.

Li Xiao sat leisurely on the khaki cotton sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and the old god was there.

His gaze was through the clear window, looking at the green and green pine in front of the office building, looking thoughtful.

As a rush of footsteps sounded in the corridor, Charles, who knew Li Xiao's location from Thomas, rushed here.

This glance swept over, and Li Xiao was really the only one in the empty reception room, and an ominous omen spread in his heart.

Charles stood in the doorway and coughed.

Li Xiao's gaze shifted from the window, but he still had a leisurely demeanor, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, without the slightest intention of getting up to greet the boss.

Seeing this, there was a hint of anger in Charles's sharp eyes. As soon as he walked into the reception room, he said in a questioning tone: "Why did you come back alone, I think it is necessary for you to explain what happened during this trip to Hamnata, it is very necessary." ”

Because there is no mobile communication equipment, and Egypt and the United States did not set up international long-distance at this time. Therefore, after the expedition team was allocated funds to set off from New York, it was like a kite with a broken string, basically in a state of disconnection, so until now, Charles still didn't know anything about the situation of the expedition, so he was eager to learn the ins and outs of the expedition from Li Xiao's mouth.

After speaking, a puffing Charles took the opportunity to sit down on another sofa.

"As a result, all the rest of the expedition except me died in the Tower of Hamna!" Li Xiao's tone was unwavering, and his indifferent appearance seemed to be narrating an ordinary thing.

"What, they're all dead?!" Before Charles could sit down, his fat oval body jumped up from the sofa like a spring, his eyes were full of shock, although he had been mentally prepared just now, but after confirming this from Li Xiao's words, he was still a little incredulous.

That was the expedition team he sent out with an allocation of 60,000 US dollars, equipped with advanced archaeological excavation tools and equipment, and in the end, except for Li Xiao, the whole army was wiped out. He didn't have any deep feelings for the expedition members, and the most important thing was that it was a pity that the 60,000 American swords, which were real money and silver, he sighed, and his whole expression became depressed.

……

……

"However, I have gained a little from this trip." Li Xiao gently probed with his thumb in his hand, and something was thrown towards Charles in a shining trajectory in the air.

Charles, who came back to his senses, subconsciously reached out and took the object, he looked at it fixedly, only to see that it was a yellow golden coin, judging from the size of the hand in his hand, it was slightly larger than the coin of the United States. On the front is a bust of a woman wearing a headband shawl shawl, and on the back is a garment of double horns of abundance, with an inscription in ancient Egyptian script. Because of the erosion of the years, it has left mottled marks on it, and on this gold coin, there is still a shallow tooth mark, like the ancient merchants who identified its authenticity.

After placing this coin in front of him, Charles's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, suddenly revealed a fiery essence, and his expression of surprise became more and more intense, and in the end, he couldn't help shouting: "This is the gold coin of eight drachmas specially made by Arsinoy II, the queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty of ancient Egypt, which is worth a lot of money!" ”

Although Charles was a treacherous businessman, he was not uneducated, and he had a good knowledge of the valuable treasures of ancient Egypt.

Otherwise, he would not have decisively organized an expedition to Hamnata after Benny came to report the clues.

At this time, with Lao's eyesight, he also judged the color of this gold coin at once, but it has a high value! According to the recent market situation, such a gold coin can be auctioned for at least 20,000 US dollars! Two more of these coins would be worth the cost of this Hamna Tower expedition! Then this expedition will not be lost.

……

Charles held the gold coin in his hand as if he had been in a daze, staring at it for a long time, his greedy gaze that was about to narrow into a slit, and finally moved away from it, and asked Li Xiao, "Is this what you brought back from the City of the Dead?" ”

"That's right." Facing the other party's eager gaze, Li Xiao replied undeniably, and after a pause, he added: "But among the many treasures, such a thing is only the most inferior. ”

"What could be more valuable than that?" Charles looked at the yellow gold coin in his hand and couldn't help but swallow heavily.

Li Xiao's words were like a bombshell, instantly detonating the greedy desire in Charles's heart.

As the mausoleum of the pharaohs of the past dynasties, the city of the dead is naturally buried deep underground with many funerary goods, and those that can be used as the burial goods of the noble pharaohs are naturally expensive and valuable treasures, which have extraordinary significance.

Any one of them is enough to shake the archaeological community, the collection world, and the auction house, and Charles is convinced of this.

Moreover, this gold coin worth 20,000 US dollars is only the lowest among these treasures, so you can imagine how much value is contained in those things that Li Xiao has not yet taken out.

"Where did you hide all those treasures? Tell me quickly, don't hide anything! Charles took the opportunity to put the gold coin in his pocket, and hurriedly propped himself up from the sofa, and asked impatiently.

"I can give you some treasures, but before you can do something for me, and I prefer to pay you the treasure in the form of a gratuity." Li Xiao's slender nails, propped up on his cheeks, looked so neat.

"What, you ......" Charles's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression was furious, and he was about to attack. But after only a moment, the expression on his face changed like a chameleon, and he immediately became pleasant again, and said with a little flattery: "Okay, please tell me your conditions." ”

"From now on, I will be informed of all kinds of clues and mission information that the company has received. In particular, we should pay attention to the treasures that contain the three attributes of earth, water, fire, and a group of people should be specially allocated to help me inquire about this news, as long as you do it well, your benefits are indispensable. Li Xiao pondered for a moment and then said.
