CHAPTER 1519: CHAPTER 724 THIS IS JUST A SMALL TEST OF THE OX KNIFE_2

After all, Asia is home. Europe has a high latitude and a decent climate, but staying here always feels like being a guest in a foreign land.

Not comfortable at all.

Without Cheryl, Sean Knight wasn’t bored either. He surfed the internet on his mobile phone, looking at some messy stuff on social platforms.

"Sigh, the big data here still isn’t good enough..." Sean muttered as he browsed, "This is a bit more comfortable to look at. Unlike the video platforms in China, where if you pause on a video for more than five seconds, the following videos pushed to you are likely the same type.

At least randomness here is truly random..."

As he was reflecting on this, he heard the door outside.

Sean was on the second floor when he put down his phone and walked to the window, seeing Cheryl frantically getting out of the car and heading inside the house.

What’s the situation? Wasn’t she supposed to stay at the King’s Palace?

Sean hurried downstairs just in time to meet Cheryl coming up.

"Dear, you..."

Before Sean could finish, Cheryl pulled him hurriedly to the bedroom.

On the first floor, Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington looked at each other, unsure of what was playing out.

"What happened?" In the bedroom, Sean helped Cheryl off with her coat and asked gently, "What’s wrong? Is there anything I can help with?"

"I didn’t know until I went back that Delton and the others, behind your and my back..." Cheryl said agitatedly, "took people... the Joint Investigation Team, to that cave where the incident happened, to dig up those monsters..."

With that, Sean understood.

So she had just found out about this.

"They all knew, only I was kept in the dark... and you! The location was discovered by me, and the monster was killed by you, but they..."

Cheryl couldn’t continue.

On one side were her family members, on the other was her intimate lover, who had also saved her life.

She was conflicted and worried that Sean might develop animosity towards her family.

She was also furious that Delton had kept this from Sean—although Cheryl was hurt and didn’t want to deal with or see the monster, she wasn’t foolish, and with a little thought she understood the enormous benefits involved.

Cheating Sean was not an option, nor was giving away the benefits that rightfully belonged to him!

Angry, Cheryl had argued fiercely with Delton and ran back.

Hearing Cheryl out, Sean smiled and said,

"Actually... things aren’t as bad as you imagine."

"How can you say that?" Cheryl was bewildered, "What they did was incredibly foolish!"

"But, they opened up an idea and incidentally allowed me to make some money... Actually, I already knew about this."

"You knew?" Cheryl, realizing why Sean hadn’t been surprised or angry when she had disclosed the situation, suddenly understood.

The anxiety she had felt eased, and she grew curious,

"Then why didn’t you say anything?"

"I found out about it when they had already explored the cave. As far as I know, after we left, there was a huge explosion in the cave, causing extensive collapses, and in the end, they found only one monster’s body..."

"How is that possible?" Cheryl found it hard to believe, considering her companions had been dismembered by so many monsters.

"Yes, just one. But after we left, I had someone else take away another monster’s body." Sean chuckled, "After they got the monster’s body, they started researching. Rumor has it that currently, the body parts of that monster organization are priced at ten thousand dollars per gram..."

"That high?" Cheryl was shocked.

"Yes. Because this is a completely unknown species to humans and is humanoid, rumored to have an extremely long life, hence its research value is very high..."

Cheryl nodded, understanding.

Just mentioning its long life was proof enough of its value.

"So, during the time you were away, I found someone to sell some items and made some money," Sean Knight smiled, "I didn’t bring this up earlier because I feared you were still dealing with psychological trauma..."

"It’s alright now," Cheryl Suweton let out a sigh of relief, "As long as you’re not angry, then it’s all fine."

"So, from the money I made, there’s a part for you. Ten million dollars..."

"That much?" Cheryl couldn’t help exclaiming, "I don’t want it..."

"You need it," Sean stressed seriously, "I know the Royal Family sounds prestigious, but in reality, they don’t have much money. You’ll have many expenses in the future, so keep this money and use it when needed. Having money means having confidence, you don’t need to rely on others’ opinions."

In the next round of bidding, Sean estimated the sales would least reach over a hundred million; giving Cheryl ten million really wasn’t a big deal to him.

His own girlfriend, naturally, he should be the one to pamper her.

Sean couldn’t stay in Europe for long, and although Cheryl lived there and wasn’t exactly broke, the Royal Family’s yearly allowance wasn’t enough for a luxurious lifestyle.

Cheryl was very "dissatisfied" with Sean’s "dominance" but also deeply moved.

Despite still feeling averse towards monsters, she took the initiative to ask if she needed to attend the event.

"No need. I’m afraid seeing that thing might cause you negative emotions," Sean waved his hand, "Don’t worry, it’s a simple matter. Also, don’t be upset with your family anymore. Think about it, Delton called me immediately when the incident happened, he really cares about this kinship. As for the matter with the Joint Investigation Team, that’s between him and me. After all, I am Chinese... mm, don’t worry, I won’t hold any grudges against him."

Of course, he wouldn’t hold grudges, but he would keep a distance in the future. This guy wasn’t as simple as Sean had initially thought, but then again, that was expected.

Are there any uncomplicated people in European Royalty? Love and hatred spanning centuries, probably they start learning about power and intrigue from a young age.

In less than 10 minutes, Cheryl’s phone rang.

She picked it up and then handed the mobile phone to Sean:

"It’s Delton’s."

"Answer it."

"I don’t want to."

"Answer it. Tell him you’re here with me, at least let your family stop worrying about your safety." Sean got up, saying, "I’ll go downstairs for a bit, haven’t you eaten yet? I’ll prepare some late-night snacks for you."

When Sean came back up, Cheryl had already hung up the phone and was sitting on the bed, looking affectionately at him.

"Come, have some food." Sean brought over a plate of food Cheryl had never seen before, "This is a special delicacy from a certain part of China, a meat sandwich."

It wasn’t freshly made; he had taken it directly from the spatial realm, and it was still hot.

There were many more types of food like this, but Sean realized he had overlooked one thing. There was still a large quantity of seawater left in the spatial realm.

Even though the seawater was stagnant and didn’t affect the other stored items, it occupied space!

It seemed he needed to make a trip to the sea, release the seawater, and then check if the energy inside the Bronze Dragon was easy to absorb.

Cheryl quickly devoured the meat sandwich—she had come back in a huff and hadn’t really eaten much.

The two of them then enjoyed their world for two, while Elijah Hastings and two others on the first floor took turns as the night watchman, and the others started absorbing the energy from the statue.

Work was clearly divided, with no disturbances between the floors.

A week quickly passed, and when the final bidding was required, Old Baker came to report, shocking Sean!

"124 entities? You’re not mistaken, are you?" This number was indeed quite frightening.

"No," Old Baker was equally excited, "I’ve already verified it, these 124 entities are guaranteed to bring at least a million dollars each. And among them, nearly eighty want to buy even more...

But I’ve already told them, this bidding session is different from the last. They’re clear on the process, everyone has already arrived in the city, and can join the bidding at any time."

"That’ll do," Sean regained his calm, "The more, the merrier. We’re also almost ready over here. We’ll give them a surprise. Now, we’ll really collect a good sum of money!"

Ultimately, Cheryl couldn’t attend this bidding session. After all, Sean had mentioned that they would display images of the monsters – it required explaining each part of the organism in detail.

Afraid that she couldn’t handle it, Cheryl returned to the King’s Palace—and her relationship with the Royal Family had considerably softened.

The time to collect money had arrived!
