Chapter 25 The Bloody Diamond

"Dozens of years ago, there were bandits everywhere here. My brothers and I relied on a few guns to dig out the remains of the battlefield and sell the military antiques we dug to the black-market merchants."

"With this money, I set up a treasure hunting company to dig relics all over the world. Dozens of times, I encountered robbers or local armed attacks, but they were all resolved by me and my brothers."

Speaking of this, the old man thought for a while and said, "It's a pity that my brothers all died in this career. But they will always live in my memory."

"The diamonds, watches, and suitcases you found are all my brother Joseph's belongings."

The old man's words were like thunder exploding in Watson's ears. Two of his largest harvests were the legacy of his brother?

The old man ignored the puzzle Watson and said, "Joseph likes to act alone unless his opponent is too dangerous. He disdains to team up with others, so I haven't heard of him for a long time."

"Since you can find the warehouse left by him, it means that he is very likely to have died!" the old man couldn't help but sigh.

The old man took out another cigar and smelled it, seeming to miss something.

"How can you be sure that it's the warehouse left by Joseph?" Watson still couldn't help but ask.

"Ha-ha, I was a little uncertain when I saw the diamond and watch, but when I saw the cigar you sent me, I got a clear answer."

"Yes, it must be Joseph. This is his favorite cigar. He always wants the best. He has to wear the best watch, smoke the most expensive cigar, and pick the most beautiful girl."

Hearing this, Watson felt very embarrassed. He didn't expect to meet an old friend of the original owner when he sent the cigars. Although he was curious about who the mysterious robber was, it was unnecessary to meet him in person. Wouldn't it be awkward if the other party asked him to return the things!

"To compete for this bag of diamonds, more than half of the underground forces were alerted. I didn't expect that he would get it. So what? He might have offended a lot of people. His disappearance is also reasonable." the old man sighed

"In my opinion, this bloody diamond is an ominous thing. Whoever gets it will bring bad luck to him."

Hearing this, Watson nodded repeatedly. As soon as he got the diamond, the big man brought his men here. If he hadn't been well prepared, he might have died.

"Do you think Joseph is dead?" Watson couldn't help but ask. When he thought of the picture that he couldn't understand, he felt that there must be a big secret hidden in the picture.

Joseph's disappearance must have something to do with this picture.

"Not necessarily. Not many people in this industry are qualified to be single wolves. He is the strongest one among my group of old fellows. Maybe he has already retired from the world and live on a small island."

After thinking for a while, he carefully weighed the weight of the map. Watson, in the end, still chose not to talk about the map.

It was not that he didn't believe in the old man, but that there was no need to challenge human nature.

Money matters to people. If the old man could live alone, it meant that his hands must be stained with blood. Maybe his good friends all died in his hands.

Thinking of the map and the mysterious robber, Watson was not in the mood to explore more about the inside story of the charity auction. He wanted to share his secret with others.

He left with his mind full of worries.

Pushing the chair of the old man, Julian asked, "Father, do you think the treasure map will be on him?"

"Yes, I'm sure it's in his place now."

"Then why don't you..."

"Julian, I'm old now. I have seen a lot of people in Watson. What he has done is similar to what I did in the past. He is still young."

"If we use our power to force him to give us the treasure map today, it will be a disaster for us in the future."

At last, the old man said firmly, "Julian, promise me not to oppose Watson. When he needs help, you must try your best to help him."

"Okay, I promise you, father." Julian didn't know why the old man attached so much importance to a young man, but she still answered.

She didn't know how shocked the old man was after hearing the story of Watson.

The times had changed, and their time had come to an end. Among the young people, he had seen some brave and capable young juniors, but none of them was as shocking as Watson.

The news that twenty-eight bandits were executed made him feel like he had returned to decades ago.

In the past, Watson could also be called a hero.

Now no one could compete with Watson. If Watson could grow up, he must be a legend in this industry.

In the eyes of the old man, Julian was so lucky to meet Watson at this time when he was still a starter.

Perhaps one day, their clan would need Watson to turn the tide.

"Julian, you are my youngest daughter. You are 28 years old now. It's time for you to get married."
