“What do you know?”
Wu Er snorted, “If this operation is successful, we’ll be connected to the ‘Morgan Group.’ You know the situation in our line of business; without specialized channels, even if we dig up something, we might not be able to sell it.”
“Do they really have that much power?” Wu San asked.
“Of course. I went through a lot of connections, and it took me a great effort to get this deal on the dark web,” said Wu Er, glancing around.
The dark web, the underworld of the internet.
It could also be considered the black market in the eyes of tomb raiders.
Now, Touch Gold Captains, after excavating precious artifacts, mostly transact through this ‘black market’ of the dark web.
“It’s good to be connected with the Morgan Group; then we won’t have to worry about selling our goods,” said Wu San with a sly smile.
“Naturally,” Wu Er raised his eyebrows and smiled.
“By the way, there is an archaeological team now stationed at Dabao Mountain; they seem to be looking for this tomb too. It shouldn’t affect us, right?”
Wu San looked towards the downstream direction.
In the embrace of the mountains, the Dabao River meandered like a silver ribbon, shuttling through the lush green forest.
The downstream area.
That was precisely where the National Archaeological Team Eight was stationed.
This place is located in the southeastern mountains of Anling City, in a remote location, two hours’ drive away from the city area, with eighteen bends in the mountain road. The villages in the mountains are desolate and despondent, hardly a few households left.
Even the Hope Primary School built in earlier years was deserted here, overgrown with weeds.
So.
The two Touch Gold Captains, disguised as fishermen, were waiting here for the arrival of personnel from the ‘Morgan Group.’
According to the agreement, people from the Morgan Group would arrive this afternoon.
“No impact. They won’t find the entrance any time soon, and even if they stumble upon it, as long as we are inside the tomb, that’s our territory. And besides, the Morgan Group’s people will deal with these hassles. We just need to lead the way. After it’s done, there’s one million US Dollars,” said Wu Er nonchalantly.
In his mind, the Morgan Group was a colossus of the underworld, involved in many grey and black industries, including arms.
So, troubles outside of tomb robbing were naturally to be resolved by the people from the Morgan Group.
“One million US Dollars, how shall we spend it?”
Wu San lifted his head, gazed up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. The azure sky, the birds, and the white clouds all seemed to take on the shape of US dollar bills.
At this moment, he had already begun to fantasize about the US dollars after the success.
Wu Er, on the other hand, glanced at the sun.
It was already four in the afternoon, and the burning heat of the sun had diminished quite a bit.
Golden specks of light flickered on the surface of the Dabao River, the slanting rays of sunlight fell upon the mountains, and occasionally birds would fly through the woodland, leaving behind a series of clear chirps.
“The people from the Morgan Group will be here soon; don’t screw this up,” Wu Er cautioned.
“Got it,” Wu San grinned.
Sure enough.
On the winding road by the riverside, two black pickup trucks appeared.
Local license plates, not speeding, they looked like a leisurely countryside drive, not raising any suspicions.
From the first pickup truck, a young woman who looked to be around twenty-five alighted, a mixed-race beauty about 170 cm tall with good proportions. Underneath her sunglasses, her face blended Chinese softness with the assertiveness of a foreigner, her skin pale and smooth as jade, her nose high, and her thin lips slightly pursed, exuding a cool elegance.
“Lead the way.”
The mixed-race young woman spoke fluent Mandarin.
Next to her, a fair-skinned burly man immediately took the lead and headed towards the riverside.
Their destination was where Wu Er and Wu San were located.
Wu Er and Wu San, hearing the approaching footsteps, left their fishing rods aside and quickly turned to look.
“My goodness, isn’t she too beautiful?”
Just one glance at the mixed-race young woman, and Wu San couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice.
“Don’t let your eyes wander!”
Wu Er immediately shot him a look.
Two burly men walked in front, with the mixed-race young woman following. One of them asked in a somewhat awkward Mandarin, “Wu family brothers?”
