Landau touched the back of his neck with one hand and twisted his head as he took the letter from the bartender.

Landau couldn't figure it out, it was okay to sit on the sofa normally, why was it so uncomfortable to sleep on the sofa.

Now the mediocre-looking man in front of him was poached by Mike from a bar, and according to Mike, he was a sensible man, so Landau didn't bother, just glanced at it and felt familiar.

Unable to remember where he had seen him for a while, Landau casually asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Dalby McDevitt, boss." Hearing the name of the tongue-twister, Landau was sure that he hadn't heard much of it, and nodded away.

Landau, who was taking the elevator, poured out the letter and a key in the envelope, which turned out to be a letter from Esger's people.

It tells the ethereal story of Magellan who traveled the world and brought back countless treasures from the far east, but hid the goods in one place for various reasons......

Landau frowned and finished reading, looking at the gem-encrusted cross in his hand to no avail, and walked out of the elevator door to light the letter.

The fire was fleeting, and Landau didn't come up with any good way to deal with the treasure quietly.

With a ding, the elevator door opened, and the group walked out with duffel bags in a messy shape.

"It seems that you didn't get a good night's sleep." Landau put his hands in his pockets and laughed at the people who had returned.

A voice came out of the exhausted crowd, "Let go, the elevator will be closed." John walked out with both hands pushing a small cart full of duffel bags.

Looking at John, who was fully loaded, Landau hurriedly pulled out his hand and helped push the goods, smiling hehehehehe.

Landau told the others to put down their things and go back to their rooms to rest, leaving only John.

Using the lab as a vault temporarily, Landau pushed a cart to dump the duffel bag full of money on the ground, "Why did you make such a mess?" ”

Landau learned from John that the leader of the Kazakh Viktona family had been assassinated several times, causing panic among the people, and when they learned that the reparations for the bloody war were to be paid, everyone fled.

The reason why it was so embarrassed was not to recover the wealth carried by those people, after all, all the notaries who received the declaration of blood war would help at this time, and of course they would charge fifty percent as a fee.

The main thing is that everyone has to drive back and forth through the streets of New York, proving their identity one after another.

With the exception of Kazakh Viktor's gang, Pushkin's fortune was gone, and the forces that helped the roundup were convinced that Landau had received compensation, and the remaining two families were very cooperative.

John pointed to the duffel bag on the ground and said, "These taxes have been deducted by the IRS, yes, you heard it right, this money is taxable." ”

Landau immediately exclaimed, "Why? ”

Scratching his head, Landau heard John's explanation and realized that the main reason why the bloody war became unpopular was because if the loot was not collected in the first place, the funds suffered by other forces would be taxed.

"In any case, our company will not worry about funds for the time being." With that, John left the lab.

John, who walked out of the room, suddenly probed and added to Landau in the room, "This money doesn't need to be washed, it should be roughly thirty-six million." ”

No wonder Chinatown is so kind that it could have taken a 50% cut from the middle.

Landau suddenly felt that his heart was dripping blood, and knowing that others were making money, or making money from their own hands, was really more uncomfortable than losing money.

Thinking that half of the money here could be used by himself, Landau wanted to get some safe houses in New York for a while, and then develop an intelligence network.

After notifying Fox, Landau calculated each person's share and began to sort out the share that belonged to the employees.

The crouching Landau counted the money and asked Fawkes for information, wondering if the Sisterhood had the truth about Magellan's travels around the world.

Dropping a few bags full of money in the rest area, Landau learns from Fox, who returns, that in the Sisterhood's account, Magellan was indeed sponsored by the Moncada family to sail.

The account mentions the Moncada family by claiming that Magellan reneged on the agreement and hid their goods.

Landau took out the gem-encrusted cross from his bosom and handed it to Fawkes, "If this treasure exists, then it must have been hidden by Magellan in the sea." ”

"According to the information you have received, the cross in your hand should be one of the keys to the treasure." Fawkes poured a glass of water and handed it to the sweaty Landau.

Landau took the cup and drank it down, but still thinking that it was not enough, he stood up and walked towards the water dispenser.

"There's also a key, according to intelligence, in the hands of a mysterious person." Landau released the button on the water dispenser and picked up the cup to refill the message he had just forgotten.

Fawkes played with the cross in his hand, reminding Landau that if the treasure was in the deep sea, it would be a lot of money to hire a salvage ship to salvage it.

Sensing Fawkes's hint, Landau sighed slightly.

The clean money I just got changed hands and was included in future expenses, and it can't be used easily.

Lamenting that he was a toiler, Landau, who sat down, took the cross handed back by Fox and dialed Ben Gates' phone.

After all, he is the only treasure hunter among the people he knows, although his partner is not very reliable.

"Gates, how are you doing?" Landau exchanged a few words with Gates as usual, and learned that Riley had made a name for himself.

Riley had kept a small treasure and was reported to be an explorer who found a small treasure, but is no longer a partner with Gates.

"I really didn't expect Riley to do this, I thought..." Gates complained about Riley's departure, but Landau didn't say anything.

After all, I gave a small push behind my back.

Ben Gates, who didn't have a partner, was clearly a better fit to work with, and Landau mentioned that he had gotten a clue to a new treasure about Magellan's voyage.

Gates' voice immediately became agitated, "I've heard that rumor!" Magellan has a treasure hidden in the depths of the sea...."

Landau interrupted Gates with a frown, "Wait, you know about this? ”

"Of course," Gates on the other end of the line explained in a whisper, apparently in a quieter place, "that we, I mean the treasure hunters, are not in the dark. ”

Gates covered the phone and briefly gave Landau a brief overview of the relationship between the treasure hunters.

Treasure hunters cooperate with each other but compete with each other, sometimes even introducing each other to financiers who provide funds for their actions.

After listening to Gates's narration, Landau pondered for a moment, "In other words, can you find the holder of another key?" ”

Gates fell into a long silence and sighed, "Yes." And, I know that bastard. ”
