Chapter 946 A Favor
However, Jared pretended as if he had seen nothing and continued to say to Mr. Sanders, “This royal tomb site is right beside the current site, underneath the small hill. If I am not mistaken, the small hill is actually the heaped earth of the undiscovered royal tomb site.”
His remarks sent the crowd into another uproar. The current royal tomb site had practically become a tourist site and was filled to the brim with visitors. How was it possible for the alleged royal tomb site to go unnoticed?
Mr. Sanders leveled a stare at Jared. “Chance, are you for real? Do you know the repercussions that await you if there is nothing there?”
“Mr. Sanders, I am willing to bear the responsibility for my words,” Jared said calmly.
At the sight of his confident manner, Mr. Sanders started to believe in him, and the others were swayed as well.
After all, nobody would be that foolish to lie about such a thing to Mr. Sanders on such an occasion. Moreover, Jared was not a moron.
“Mr. Sanders, there truly is a tomb site underneath the small hill. However, I am not sure if it’s a royal tomb site. I discovered it a while back. When I wanted to find out more, I bumped into this young man. He disrupted my investigation when I was using the Seven Star Formation. Otherwise, I would have reported my findings much earlier,” Blake said as he rose from his seat.
Blake was the first to discover the tomb site, and he planned to scavenge the place secretly. However, he did not expect to bump into Jared there. Now, Jared was going to use the discovery as a favor to Mr. Sanders.
Blake felt indignant that Jared had taken his credit in the matter. Hence, he rose from his seat and tried to claim the credit for himself.
Everyone started to believe in Jared’s claims right then. After all, the Henckle family explored tombs and graves for a living, and no other families could surpass them in the matter. Now that Blake had verified the location of the site, it was almost guaranteed that Jared’s claims were true.
Mr. Sanders cast a glance at Blake and did not believe his claim that he would report his findings. He knew for a fact that these great families would not openly share the resources that they have found. However, Mr. Sanders said nothing.
“Okay. I will send someone to investigate. If there is truly a royal tomb site, you will have made a great contribution, Jared,” Mr. Sanders said before he strode outside.
