Chapter 472: Chapter 237: Treasure Hunting Squad~ Activate

Su Chen and Xiao Chen, along with a few patrolmen, saw Salman and Abdullah off. After a few brief pleasantries and an exchange of contact information, Salman enthusiastically invited Su Chen and Xiao Chen to visit the Middle East when they had time.

Su Chen and Xiao Chen stood quietly at the gate, watching the luxury convoy slowly depart from the ranch.

"Brother Cheen, do you think Salman can become the crown prince?" Su Chen asked suddenly, his eyes on the departing convoy.

"Their royal family abides by fraternal succession—the throne passes from brother to brother. Salman’s father still has several brothers, and they’re all still young. If they follow tradition, his chances aren’t very good. The key is Salman’s father and what he’s thinking. As for the result, only time will tell." Xiao Chen privately wasn’t very optimistic about Salman becoming crown prince, unless his father decided to break with tradition.

Su Chen nodded silently upon hearing this. ’These were matters beyond his control. All he could do was wait and see if it would eventually come to fruition.’

It had just been an idea on the fly. Even if Salman ultimately failed in his bid to become crown prince, it was no great matter. For Su Chen, the loss wouldn’t be significant—it was only a single gold nugget, after all.

Pulling out his phone, Su Chen called Chen Fei. He told him to bring the Mel brothers, Tiandi, and the others to the ranch. It was time to discuss the Tsar’s treasure.

"Sir. Young Master Xiao."

"BOSS!"

Chen Fei and the Mel brothers were quick to return. The moment they stepped into the ranch, they walked respectfully over to Su Chen and Xiao Chen to greet them.

"Mm," Su Chen nodded slightly, then glanced at Xiao Chen beside him. "Let’s talk inside."

Once everyone was back in the villa, Su Chen immediately had Tiandi stand guard at the door to prevent any of the ranch staff from accidentally overhearing their discussion.

After Chen Fei, the Mel brothers, and the five personnel who had just arrived from back home were seated, Su Chen shot Xiao Chen a look. Catching the cue, Xiao Chen cleared his throat and looked at Chen Fei and the five new men. "I’ve called you all here to find a treasure: sixteen hundred tons of gold!"

GULP! Upon hearing this, the eyes of Chen Fei and the other five men flew wide open, their breathing growing ragged.

"Holy hell... Sixteen hundred tons of gold. How much is that even worth?!" Chen Fei’s eyes were filled with pure shock, without a flicker of greed, and the same was true for the other five men.

Su Chen, who was sitting to the side observing them, nodded to himself in silent approval.

Su Chen pulled a piece of paper from his pocket. It was the map he had gotten from the Mel brothers. He glanced at it before handing it over to Chen Fei.

"Mel, you’ll be in charge of the treasure hunt. After all, you know more about the treasure. Chen Fei, you will support him. As for personnel, you’ll have these five men plus Tiandi. Regarding weapons, I’ll have Yi Wan supply you."

Mel and Chen Fei quickly stood up. "Yes, BOSS!" Mel affirmed. "Yes, Sir!" Chen Fei added.

"Mm, that’s the plan. Regarding the treasure, Chen Fei, you can ask Mel for more information. The two of you should discuss the details in private, get the necessary supplies ready, and set out as soon as possible!"

A nine-man team was an elite lineup. Every member was a top-tier operator, more than enough for a treasure hunt.

"Uh... BOSS, what about me?" Hiri had heard his older brother was going treasure hunting, but he himself hadn’t been given an assignment. It was hard not to let his mind run wild. ’Is the boss keeping me here as a hostage?’

Hiri’s reaction was just what Su Chen had expected. He smiled and waved a hand, signaling for him not to worry.

"I plan to put you in charge of the gold mine. Once the surveying is complete, we’ll need to start preparing for preliminary extraction. You have plenty of experience with what to look out for and what preparations are needed. I’m confident you can handle it."

"Don’t worry, BOSS, I absolutely won’t disappoint you!" Hearing Su Chen entrust him with such a major responsibility, Hiri couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.

It’s not being used that people fear, but having no value to be used at all. When given a platform to prove your worth, you have to seize it.

The arrangements had just been settled when the phone Su Chen had left on the table began to ring.
