Chapter 53: Return to New York

The three people who walked into the cave saw the two ships in the cave at a glance, the rotten and dilapidated hulls, and the three of them invariably judged that this was the treasure.

Sullivan, who was excited, ran into the ship first, only to find that the cabin was empty and there was nothing.

"There's nothing here," Sullivan said loudly to the two men on the other boat, and asked, "How's your side doing?" ”

"Nope!" Chloe exclaimed in disappointment, "There's nothing here!" The treasures are all fake, and the legends are all lies! ”

"Guys, I think you guys need to take a look at this."

Nathan, who was the first to step out of the boat, beckoned two men to the bow of the boat, with a wooden sign with words carved on it.

"Venerable Queen of the Night of Barcelona,

"It's sad to come all the way here and find nothing. Even wondering if the legend is a lie?

"I am sad that you refused to share this treasure with me at the time, but I still think of you when I am faced with such a fortune.

"Here's a crown I picked for you."

Obviously, there is no signature, but the three people who read the message know that it was Landau who left a message to show them.

Landau sat in front of the computer, watched Chloe pick up the crown with a tangled expression, and stood up with a smile and walked towards Gates outside the cabin.

"Captain Gates, it's another sunny day." Landau greeted Gates, who was lying on a beach chair, while also lying down.

Drinking coconut water, Gates put the coconut water on the table, moaned comfortably, and quipped, "You must have seen their embarrassment, and I know you've been waiting for this day." ”

"After all, you've never hidden anything from me."

"Hahaha." Landau smiled even more happily when he heard Gates's words, explaining, "You are my friend, why do I need to hide it from you." ”

Landau beckoned the waiter to take a glass of coconut water from his plate.

With his hands behind his head, Gates closed his eyes and enjoyed the sunshine, and said very sincerely: "It is the luckiest thing for me to be friends with you Landau." Moreover, my treasure hunting career has become so easy because I met you. ”

Landau drank coconut water and looked at the clear blue sky in the distance, not responding to Gates' touting.

After enjoying a moment of tranquility, Landau suddenly asked Gates, "Do you want to be famous?" As a well-known explorer, even the kind that can go down in history. ”

"I used to think about it, but after a few days of enjoying myself on this beach chair, I realized that I didn't really want to live like that." Gates answered Landau's question with his eyes closed.

Landau almost choked on himself as he drank coconut water, and asked Gates in surprise, "Why?" ”

After all, in Landau's view, Gates went to the North Pole before, and would rather be threatened than find treasure, just to make a name for himself.

Coupled with the fact that his assistant is now successful and enjoying the life of a fragrant car beauty, it is normal for Gates to be jealous of his assistant and then desire this life.

Lying down, Gates calmly said his opinion: "At the beginning, I also had a dream of treasure hunting, and I ran around with Sullivan and ran out of money.

In the end, he had to bow to reality, and even paid attention to the treasure that the family had guarded for generations, but fortunately, he finally found the treasure.

"Riley's departure, I'm not surprised. He's who I was, and that's how he thinks at his age.

"Meeting Sullivan again, I saw my future self in him. If I had devoted myself to the treasure, I would have been like him, untrusted by anyone. ”

Gates opened his eyes, sat up, looked at Landau beside him, and said, "I've got money," he said, snorting and smiling, "and this ship you gave me, this salvage company." ”

"I thought, instead of running around all day, why not just lie down in a chair and enjoy the sun."

Landau put down the coconut water in his hand, looked at Gates and confessed: "My dream has always been like this, no longer tired of running around, and enjoying my life quietly." ”

A good life is always fleeting, and sometimes it doesn't even give people a chance to feel emotional.

The satellite phone on the table rang, and Landau stood up and walked to the bow of the boat to answer the phone.

"Mr. Landau Addison, I don't think you have forgotten me." Familiar electronic synthesized sounds, this time the mysterious man's voice was unusually clear.

Landau guessed that he had changed his accommodation, a much quieter one, and responded, "You guys are really capable, and you can find me here." Is there a result of what happened before? ”

The mystery man was silent for a moment, and bluntly said that their people were trapped in a border town in Mexico, and that the follow-up people were also unknown.

"So you didn't get any useful information?" Landau mentally raised the danger of the town indefinitely, while trying to get more information from Eggers' people.

The mysterious man said unhurriedly, "No, on the contrary, we have very important information. ”

A thunderbolt draped over Landau's heart, and they still got the information?!

For a moment, Landau didn't know whether to be shocked by Eggers' intelligence capabilities or to be afraid of their pervasiveness.

"You..."Landau almost didn't feel good when he spoke, and he forcibly suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and continued: "Conditions, say your conditions." ”

An ugly electronic synthesized sound sounded, and after a moment, the mysterious man said slowly: "Sure enough, Mr. Landau is a smart person, and I love to chat with smart people." ”

Landau eventually struck a deal with the mystery man in exchange for their information.

In the near future, if Landau is going to a small town on the border of Mexico, then he must bring out those who have fallen into it.

In other words, to live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses.

Moreover, Landau could not hide the cause of death of the Eggers members.

Without disturbing Gates, who was sunbathing, Landau went straight back to the cabin and found Robert, who had been with him all along.

"You go and contact the Smiths and ask them to contact the European seller to dispose of this treasure slowly." Lan Dao thought for a while and specially ordered: "Don't be in a hurry, don't attract attention even if it takes a long time." ”

Robert, who was ordered, turned to make contact, while Landau sat in his chair and dialed Fawkes's phone.

After a flurry of daily greetings, Landau told Fawkes to find someone he could trust to keep an eye on and not let anything go wrong with the treasure.

Thinking of the approximate value of the treasure, Landau added at the end: "It's okay to let them retire early if necessary." It's important not to let a fledgling company have a traitor. ”

Nothing happened on the calm seas, there were no uninteresting pirates, and there were no storms and waves, so Landau waited for the arrival of the Smiths and left everything to them.

Landau, who was returning to New York alone, had just stepped out of the airport when Andy hugged him, "My good friend, I miss you so much." ”

With a smile on his face, Landau was puzzled

It's no surprise that Andy was able to find himself, but what could be the reason for finding himself at this point in time?
