Chapter 167: I Would Rather I Didn’t Find The Gold

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Chen Zhao was preparing supper for his demon pets. He planned to go to sleep right after that.

Black Mammon’s mouth was stuffed with meat and his face was wet with tears. “I’m already in love with the human world. I’m never ever going back to Hell!”

This kid… How badly did he suffer in Hell? Chen Zhao wondered.

“Leave some for your brother. Don’t finish everything.”

Suddenly, a black figure jumped into the house. White Mammon’s originally white hair was already stained with dirt and his body was also somewhat wet.

“Master, look at what I’ve found. Is this valuable?” White Mammon opened his mouth and a glittering gold bar dropped out.

Chen Zhao’s expression froze. Gold?!

He picked the gold bar up and realized that it was pretty heavy. It was real gold for sure!

It should be a standard 1kg gold bar.

“Master, the place that I’ve found is filled with this stuff, but I could only carry one back.”

Immediately, Chen Zhao kicked Black Mammon’s ass. Black Mammon looked pitifully at Chen Zhao. “Master, did I do something wrong?”

“Your brother’s working hard outside, helping me to earn money, while you’re just here enjoying free food! Follow me. White Mammon, lead the way.”

White Mammon led them to a lake. It was precisely the lake beside the piece of land that Chen Zhao had wanted to purchase.

“Did you find that here?” Chen Zhao asked, somewhat surprised.

“That’s right.” White Mammon hurriedly ran around the lake and reached the waterfall. Then, he walked into the waterfall.

Soon, White Mammon came out with another gold bar.

No longer able to restrain himself, Chen Zhao also charged into the waterfall.

In the cave behind the waterfall, he saw two boxes filled with gold bars.

He sat on the ground and started counting. There were four hundred gold bars in total.

From the gold bars’ crafting, it was evident that this was not a treasure from man years ago.

Judging from the rust on the box, Chen Zhao deduced that these gold bars had been hidden here for at most a month.

“White Mammon, are you sure it’s owner-less?”

“Master, I can only smell owner-less wealth. If it has an owner, I wouldn’t have even smelled it.”

Chen Zhao searched the boxes again and actually found many passports.

They had different names and identities, but photos of the same person.

After some examination, Chen Zhao confirmed that they were left here by Trede Pemton.

Should I take them for myself?

Chen Zhao began to hesitate. This was a huge wealth for him, but also the compensation for those victims.

Chen Zhao felt painful. This was the first time he felt so painful.

It was so, so much money!

As long as he kept these gold bars, he did not have to do anything for the rest of his life. It was enough wealth to sustain him until his death.

“F**k, it would be better if I didn’t find them,” Chen Zhao muttered to himself.

…

Fali had been awake all this while. She had been hearing the sounds of things coming in and going out of the house, but she had no idea what was happening.

After two hours, she heard something again.

Unable to control herself further, Fali walked out of the house and realized that it was Chen Zhao. The Silly Twins were right behind him with two bags on their backs.

Actually, Chen Zhao could have used the spatial ring, but he had asked the Silly Twins to carry the gold back instead because of his bad mood.

“Chen, you went out to steal things?”

Chen Zhao threw the bags on the floor. Clang! It was all gold.

Fali was flabbergasted. “You really went out to steal things?!”

“F**k no… They were hidden by Trede Pemton. I found them.”

“Which means you’re rich! Why is your face so dark?”

“I have to give them to the fire victims’ families for Trede. I would rather I didn’t find them.”

Fali gasped, “Are you really willing? How much money is this altogether?”

“I’m not…” Chen Zhao could even feel his teeth hurt. “But even if I sell these gold for money, I won’t dare to spend it. I can’t live my life spending money that doesn’t belong to me… I feel so uncomfortable…”

“I would feel bad too. How about you keep some of it? It’ll make you feel better.”

“Never mind. They don’t belong to me.” Gritting his teeth, Chen Zhao made his decision.

“How do you plan to give them to the victims’ families?”

“I’ll ask David to help.”

Chen Zhao called David, “David, help me to check who the victims of the winery fire are, and also those who were injured because of that… I need all the information. That’s right; the more detailed, the better.”

Immediately, David started checking the system in the police station. He easily obtained the relevant information.

Although David was not in charge of Mountain Town, such information was shared among all the police stations in the country. Any police would be able to access the information.

“Chen, I’ll send the information to your phone. Check it.”

Chen Zhao and Fali organized that information. Eight people died, four were severely injured, and five had minor injuries.

There were four hundred gold bars, each of which weighed one kilogram. Each bar cost around 36.5 thousand, so they totaled to about 14.6 million dollars.

In the end, Chen Zhao decided to give 35 gold bars to the family of each dead victim, 20 bars for each severely injured victim, and 8 bars for those with mild injuries.

As for whether this distribution was reasonable, Chen Zhao could not guarantee either.

Chen Zhao could only guarantee that he was going to give all the gold out.

…

Under the quiet night sky, a girl who was fourteen or fifteen years old sat beside the window, staring at the starry sky.

Suddenly, she saw two huge figures jump into the courtyard.

She took a closer look. They were wolves!

The girl screamed in horror, “Mom, there’s wolves! Wolves!”

The girl’s mother quickly charged into her daughter’s room. “Abela, what happened?”

“Mom, I saw two wolves in our courtyard!”

“Really?” The mother was somewhat suspicious. There were indeed traces of wolves in the forest surrounding Mountain Town, but they had never entered the town.

“Yes. I really saw them! Two huge wolves, one black, one white.”

The mother carefully opened the curtains. There was no wolf outside.

However, the mother saw two bags on the ground. A few seemingly metallic bars had fallen out from them.

The mother walked out of the house. She checked the bars and almost got a heart attack.

They were two bags of gold, real gold!

“Mom, there’s a piece of paper here.”

The mother took the paper and read it. Immediately, she covered her mouth with her hand, her face filled with disbelief.

Here’s the compensation for your husband’s death. Please take it.

“Abela, did you see anyone?”

“No. I really saw two wolves, two very big wolves, but they disappeared very quickly.”

The mother was still doubtful. Did two people dress up like wolves?

Or perhaps she really did see two wolves?

Or was it just the almighty God?

Just then, the mother’s phone rang. She took out her phone and realized that it was her neighbor, Anlance.

“Wendy, are you in bed?” Anlance asked.

“No, Anlance, what is it?”

“Did you hear anything in your courtyard?” Anlance asked indirectly.

“Did you also discover something in your yard?”

“You discovered gold too?”

“You too?”

“Yes, I thought that it was a thief. Then, I vaguely saw a beast. When I came out with the gun, I found forty gold bars on the ground.”
