Molton extended a trembling index finger and pointed at Haron, saying, "I''m not
crazy, Haron. I''ve been waiting for you to say that. Didn''t you say there are tens of thousands of artifacts on that sunken ship? Now, our opportunity hase."
"What?"
"Molton, you''re eyeing those artifacts on the sunken ship? It''s difficult to salvage them, and if tens of thousands of artifacts suddenly appear in Rostead''s collectibles market, we won''t be able to hide them from others. If Kearson finds out, we''re both dead."
"Kearson again! All you see is Kearson!"
Molton grabbed Haron''s shirt and red, "You spineless fool, you''ll spend the rest of your life keeping the secret of the treasure for Kearson. Although you found the treasure, it won''t belong to you!"
After cursing, Molton pushed Haron away. Haron gritted his teeth and punched Molton in the face, knocking him to the ground. Haron said, "Molton, I''ve always treated you as my best friend. You should know the consequences if the treasure''s secret is discovered by others. We had nothing before. Now, thanks to Kearson, we have our own assets and estates. This is already considered wonderful living conditions in Rostead. Molton, do you want to ruin all of this? I hope you cherish what you have now. Don''t go against Lord Kearson. Otherwise, sooner orter, we''ll return to begging for bread every day."
After scolding Molton, Haron left with his umbre.
Moltony on the ground panting. Haron''s punch had brought him to his senses. Indeed, because of his background, Molton had been bullied in the collectibles market. He wanted to be stronger.
However, the business world was cruel, with fiercepetition and cutthroat tactics. This three hundred million dor deal would inevitably involve local powers in Rostead. Even the Jackson family alone was too much for Molton to handle. Realizing his helplessness, Molton suddenly felt incredibly foolish. How could he dare topete with Hart for business? Would he not offend the Jackson family? As Molton pondered it, he got a call from Wilbur. He quickly answered, saying, "Mister Penn, about the contract, I think we need to renegotiate the terms."
Wilbur said, "I think we should renegotiate the terms as well, Mister Molton. I know you were angry when you signed the contract with me. I''m not an unreasonable person, so I''m calling to rify matters with you. If you''re willing to terminate this contract, we can cancel it. Of course, I won''t charge you with any penalties."
Wilbur, looking at the documents in his hand, knew the Jackson family was powerful in Rostead. Both Molton and Haron came from humble backgrounds. If this matter were left to Molton, it might bring him great harm.
As for cooperating with the Jackson family, Wilbur had a better idea. He could let Kearson handle this matter.
Wilbur always remembered his agreement with Fremont. Although the bronze cauldron was important, obtaining it through deceitful means, even at the cost of lives, was against the rules. So, Wilbur did not want Hart to target Molton.
In the phone call, Molton fell silent for two seconds before saying, "Alright, I admit
I was angry when I signed it. The contract between us is void. Mister Penn, I''m truly sorry for wasting your time."
