After a moment of silence, Walker asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Luke said, "Since their goal is to stop us from treasure hunting, we can't let them succeed. We'll continue to focus on the treasure hunt."

"What about Morris Dawan?"

Luke thought for a moment and said, "We won't expose him for now. We'll act as if nothing happened and say it was the work of a gasoline thief."

Walker said, "Even if we don't say anything, he'll likely guess that we suspect him."

"So what? As long as we don't fall out, he definitely won't either. Making him uneasy isn't a bad thing; the more anxious he is, the more likely he is to slip up.

And even if his accomplices find the treasure first, as long as he can't escape, we still have a chance."

Walker couldn't think of a better plan for the moment, "Let's do what you said.

Who do you think Morris Dawan's accomplice is?

That Black guy who stole the gasoline, or the Black woman you met riding the motorcycle? Oh, and don't forget the canyon administrator, Carlos."

Luke said, "I don't think the Black guy is very suspicious. As for Carlos the canyon administrator and the woman on the motorcycle, I haven't had a chance to talk to them in depth, so I can't judge."

Walker waved his hand, "Forget it, we'll take it one step at a time. The canyon is so large, there might be others treasure hunting too. His accomplice might not have even revealed themselves yet.

Luke reminded, "If you're alone with Morris Dawan, be careful."

Walker nodded, "I know. I've judged as many bad guys as you have, and when it really comes down to it, I won't go easy.

Let's head back before he gets suspicious."

The two of them headed back to the camp, and Luke raised the gasoline can in his hand, "Hey, Morris Dawan, look what I found?"

"Wow, you found gasoline, that's amazing, where did you find it?" Morris Dawan showed a look of surprise, though it seemed a bit fake to Luke.

Luke pretended to be smug and said, "I already mentioned that we didn't hear anything last night, which means the gasoline thief didn't use a vehicle, and this can is heavy; he couldn't have taken it far.

Sure enough, I guessed right, he hid the can nearby."

Actually, Luke was just making an excuse for himself finding the can. For someone as strong as him, carrying the can wasn't a big deal at all.

Morris Dawan showed a puzzled expression, "Why would he do that?"

With the whereabouts of his accomplices unknown, Luke didn't want to lay things bare and simply provided an excuse for him, "I suspect it might be a business deal."

Morris Dawan still frowned, "What does that mean? How could stealing gasoline become a business?"

"Remember the Black guy I mentioned? His car's fuel tank was also stolen. He radioed the canyon administrator for help, and the administrator agreed to deliver five gallons of gasoline but charged a fee of five hundred US Dollars.

And today, something similar happened. Do you think it's purely a coincidence?" Luke gave a knowing look.

Morris Dawan said with a shared sense of indignation, "What a bastard. If I find evidence of him stealing gasoline, I won't let him go.

My money doesn't come that easily."

"Trust me, we'll run into that bastard sooner or later. No one can commit a crime without facing consequences.

For now, we need to focus on finding the treasure." Luke walked over to the sidecar of the motorcycle and poured the gasoline from the can, muttering, "No one can stop us from finding the treasure. No one!"

Morris Dawan nodded and agreed, "You're right, the treasure belongs to us."

Afterward, the three packed their gear and set off, with Luke continuing on the motorcycle with a sidecar while Walker drove the RV.

After covering some distance, the road narrowed, making it impossible for the RV to continue. Walker parked the RV by the roadside and sat on the back of the motorcycle.

This time, during the treasure hunt, all three of them were much quieter, no longer having enthusiastic discussions about their treasure hunting plans. Even though Luke and Walker didn't show it, the atmosphere had subtly changed.

After about half an hour, the motorcycle with the sidecar finally reached the canyon's bottom.

This time, Luke teamed up with Morris Dawan, both riding the motorcycle with the sidecar in their search.

Walker searched the east side of the canyon alone.

Luke and Morris Dawan searched along the west side of the canyon.

This arrangement was also to prevent Morris Dawan from trying anything sneaky.

However, Luke speculated that until they found the treasure, Morris Dawan wouldn't have enough motive or reason to make a move.

Besides, even if he tried, Luke wasn't afraid of him.

Initially, Luke quite enjoyed the process of adventure and treasure hunting, but now there was a traitor in the team, which made things a bit uncomfortable.

Luke rode the motorcycle with the sidecar while Morris Dawan sat in the sidecar, occasionally checking the map in his hand.

As the motorcycle continued forward for a distance, Morris Dawan said, "Stop for a moment."

Luke stopped the motorcycle and asked, "Is there something?"

Morris Dawan pointed to the ground ahead, "There are tire tracks."

Luke got off the bike to take a look and indeed saw the tire tracks. Luke's observation was much sharper than the average person, so for Morris Dawan to notice the tracks first, it showed he had some skill as an outdoor adventure expert.
