151: Making threats

Hearing the cheers from nearby, Haishizi's expression darkened further, looking so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from his face.

He glared fiercely at Qin Yun's retreating back, having lost all interest in staying there.

Leaving two bodyguards to monitor Qin Yun, he instructed several others to carry the items he had won at a high price and walked straight outside.

Qin Yun walked over to the edge of the cheering crowd and saw that it was indeed Robert who was opening the safe.

Holding a stack of documents, Robert winked at Qin Yun while everyone else's attention was focused on the Royal Treasure.

He had never expected that Qin Yun would discover the Oil Exploration Design Documents just by looking at the exterior of the safe.

What was even more outrageous was that Qin Yun had also secured a warehouse worth a fortune.

This was a treasure left behind by the British Empire during the colonial period.

Even though Robert didn't know much about antiques with such provenance and commemorative value, he knew they were worth a great deal.

He only now realized that Qin Yun was even more formidable than others boasted.

Just how powerful did one's eyes have to be to discover such precious things through the tiniest clues?

In this operation, Robert had completed an almost impossible task at an extremely low cost, achieving a great merit in this Belgium operation.

He stopped coveting the warehouse he and Qin Yun had agreed upon and decided to transport the Royal Treasure back to America for Qin Yun in his own name.

Since Qin Yun had demonstrated such miraculous abilities, it was more beneficial to stay on good terms with such a talent.

“My God, a Royal Treasure actually appeared here. This land of Belgium is truly incredible.”

“As long as it can be transported back, this treasure is worth at least ten million dollars. That guy has struck it rich!”

“Even though our goal isn't antiques, having this kind of harvest makes the trip worthwhile. This person's luck is simply explosive!”

“It seems this is just a game of luck. Even a professional Treasure Hunter like Qin Yun can fail sometimes, yet this unknown guy managed to find a Royal Treasure. Indeed, skill is no match for good luck!”

“If only I had such good luck. But the organizers here are truly generous, even putting out such precious antiques.”

...Everyone looked at Robert with great envy, wishing they had such luck themselves.

What they didn't know was that the documents Robert was holding in his arms were the truly priceless items.

At this moment, Qin Yun felt a bit apprehensive, wondering if Robert would keep his word and return the treasure to him.

Julia noticed Qin Yun seemed a bit disinterested and took his hand to comfort him: “Don't think too much. This is a competition that depends on luck. I believe your strength in warehouse hunting is definitely top-tier.”

Qin Yun was speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He couldn't exactly tell Julia that he was the one who had discovered the Royal Treasure.

“I'm fine. Let's take one more walk around and then go back.”

Staying here without being able to bid, and with two annoying bodyguards following them, it was better to be comfortable in his own room.

So, Qin Yun took Julia for another walk around, using his Profound Vision Treasure Eye three times in areas with many stalls.

He discovered five items with purple treasure light, noted down their numbers, and then headed back with Julia.

Haishizi was pacing back and forth in the living room. Seeing Qin Yun and Julia return, he whispered a few questions to the two bodyguards and then walked up to Qin Yun with righteous indignation.

“I spent so much time, money, and energy inviting you to Belgium to help me look at warehouses, and this is the result today?”

“This shouldn't be your true level; it's not easy to pick three mediocre things in a row. However, I'm willing to believe you just had an off day. If tomorrow yields the same result, it means you are of no use to me.”

“For worthless trash, I usually throw them away directly or even stomp on them a few times. If you don't satisfy me tomorrow—you're a smart man—you can probably guess the consequences!”

After warning Qin Yun, Haishizi turned and left.

He was currently extremely angry, enough to want to kill someone!

Especially seeing someone else harvest a Royal Treasure while he got nothing; it was like being slapped in the face in front of everyone.

Not only had he lost face, but he had also lost a lot of money.

How could Haishizi, who had held high hopes for Qin Yun, accept this?

Qin Yun returned to his room with a cold face.

He hadn't expected Haishizi to stop pretending and speak so plainly.

It seemed that if tomorrow was another failure, Haishizi would definitely turn hostile.

Not to mention not taking him and Julia back to America, he might even have his bodyguards or friendly warlords take action.

In this desolate military base, there was no way to escape; he could only play along with Haishizi.

Qin Yun didn't want to provide intelligence to a warmonger.

This would mean many innocent local residents would lose their interests or even their lives because of it.

But being under someone else's roof, he had to bow his head. He needed to think carefully about what kind of things he should help Haishizi discover.

Hearing Qin Yun being threatened, Julia also felt very bad in her heart.

Since Qin Yun started participating in warehouse treasure hunting, he hadn't exactly been invincible, but things had been smooth sailing. He had a harvest every time; he had never suffered this kind of grievance.

“Qin, when you were looking at the Royal Treasure, the way Haishizi looked at you was very wrong. I'm afraid he's harbored ill intentions toward us for a long time.”

“Just now, there was even a flash of killing intent in his eyes. It seems we should make plans early.”

Julia knew that complaining was useless at this time. She told Qin Yun what she had seen and guessed.

Throughout their journey, she believed in Qin Yun's ability and was certain he would make the right choice.

“I'll be careful. I already have a few warehouses in mind. When the time comes, I'll tell Haishizi about a few, and our safety should be temporarily fine.”

“But this is just a stalling tactic. We'll need to find another way to leave this hellhole. We must stay alert for our own safety at all times.”

Qin Yun shared part of his plan to keep Julia calm.

He didn't want Julia to do anything irrational because she was worried about his safety.

Now it all depended on whether Robert came through.

Qin Yun understood that Agents and the military belonged to two different factions.

To get him and Julia to America while being enemies with the local warlords would require the military or even the Navy SEALs to mobilize.

This would take some time to coordinate, so he couldn't pin all his hopes on Robert.

While stalling for time, he would also have to act according to the situation.

Hearing Qin Yun's words, a smile appeared on Julia's face.

She knew that when it came to finding treasures in warehouses, almost no one was a match for Qin Yun.

No matter what, it was impossible for Qin Yun to fail three times in a row at checking warehouses. It turned out Qin Yun had done it on purpose and already had a plan.

“I will always believe in you.”

After Julia finished speaking, she threw herself into Qin Yun's arms, tilting her head up as if ready to be taken.

In this environment full of hidden dangers, Qin Yun felt a different kind of thrill and comfort, almost losing his self-control.

Holding Julia tightly, they went to bed, and the night passed without dreams.
