Pan Jin’s stature was bulkier than most people by default. In fact, people would always assume that he was either a gym rat or a fitness trainer. But placed before Mystic Two, he was still significantly smaller.

“I was looking for the washroom! My bladder’s bursting but there’s not even a single person in sight, so I had no choice but to look for it myself! I only opened this door to check if this was the washroom or not!”

Pan Jin’s mental fortitude was rather steady. Although he had panicked a little at the start, he was still able to regain his composure as he explained with a wronged expression.

“Bullsh*t! Your motive is definitely not so simple. I’ve already guessed your true goal!”

Mystic Two smirked coldly as he walked up to Pan Jin.

Pan Jin swallowed nervously as he wrapped his fingers around the cold steel of the flying dagger in his pockets. “Is that so? Then, why don’t you tell me what my goal is?”

Pan Jin was prepared to kill this person at any moment!

Compared to this invaluable cauldron behind him, what were a few people’s lives worth? If he was really forced into a corner, he could simply slaughter everyone here with his siblings!

Mystic Two grinned coldly, as though he had seen through the thoughts of all mankind. “You sneaky b*stard, you obviously came in here to urinate, right?!”

“F*ck!”

Pan Jin was on the verge of throwing out the flying dagger when he heard Mystic Two’s words, causing him to stumble mid action and blurt out a vulgar word.

Noticing Mystic Two’s disdainful gaze, Pan Jin was filled with the sudden urge to really throw the flying dagger at him. But he still managed to control himself and pull his hands out of his pockets.

“What? Are you not leaving?” Mystic Two clicked his tongue in annoyance.

‘How can this fellow’s skin be so thick? He’s already been exposed by me but he still refuses to leave. Could it be that he’s still thinking of urinating here?!’

Mystic Two’s eyes shone dangerously.

“You gotta tell me where’s the toilet first!” Pan Jin snapped angrily.

“Take a left there, and walk all the way to the end.”

Mystic Two pointed in a direction as he stood at the side of the doorway, glaring coldly at Pan Jin the whole time.

Pan Jin felt his face redden as he ran off in the direction Mystic Two was pointing at.

Mystic Two followed Pan Jin with his eyes until he saw the fellow enter the washroom before closing the door and leaving.

“Boss, I saw an extremely shameless fellow just now. He couldn’t find the washroom, and was actually about to urinate in one of the rooms! Luckily, I discovered the sneaky b*stard!”

After returning to the living room, the first thing Mystic Two did was to run up to Bei Feng and tell him the tale of his heroism.

Bei Feng looked up and glared unkindly at Mystic Two in response. Bloody hell, why was this fellow talking about such disgusting things at the lunch table?!

Afraid that the muscle head might say something stupid again, Mystic Three quickly grabbed Mystic Two’s hand and pulled him down onto the chair.

Pan Jin sprinted back to the dining room and dashed in like a gust of wind after returning from the washroom. “Big Bro! Guess what I just saw?!”

He Jiawei looked up in annoyance, “What else can you see in the bloody toilet other than sh*t?”

Han Dan and Hsiao Mei both put down their chopsticks in shock as they turned to stare at He Jiawei. Who would have thought that He Jiawei would utter such a vulgar sentence at the lunch table?!

He Jiawei looked at the two curiously, “Are the two of you done eating? If you’re not going to eat, I’m going to take it all for myself.”

“Fourth Bro, you idiot! You only know how to eat? I hope you choke!” Hsiao Mei harrumphed angrily as she turned to the visibly excited Pan Jin. “Second Bro, what did you see?”

“Pei! What the hell is this tea? It’s so bitter!” Pan Jin downed an entire cup of tea in one shot to soothe his throat only to spit the bitter and grainy tea out immediately.

“Stop putting on a show to amuse us. Hurry up, tell us what you saw,” Han Dan chuckled lightly as he observed Pan Jin.

Having caught his breath, Pan Jin stuck his head out of the door and looked around cautiously before stepping back into the room and closing the door gingerly.

Watching Pan Jin’s cautious actions, the other three also looked up seriously as they stopped whatever it was they were doing.

The four had been working together with each other for more than 10 years, and were even sworn siblings. They naturally understood Pan Jin’s character. Anything that caused him to become so serious was definitely important!

Pan Jin sat back down and leaned in as he whispered in a low voice. “I saw a huge cauldron!”

“Oh? How big?” He Jiawei jested sarcastically.

The other three turned around immediately and stared at him as though they were looking at a retard. Their eyes warned him to stop clowning about as they gestured for Pan Jin to continue.

“Let me put it this way. The value of the large tomb we found is completely incomparable to that cauldron!”

Pan Jin dropped the news which was akin to a nuclear bomb on them, shocking the three sworn siblings silly.

Although they knew that Pan Jin would not joke about such a serious matter, Han Dan still could not help but ask, “Second Bro, you’re not joking, right?”

“The tomb we discovered belonged to someone of ancient royalty. The items inside have an inestimable value! What kind of cauldron is more valuable than the burial items of ancient royalty?!”

Hsiao Mei also asked incredulously.

“Second Bro, don’t tell me that the cauldron you found was the Houmuwu Rectangle Cauldron from the Shang Dynasty? Haha, this joke is not funny at all! Hahaha… wait, you’re serious?!”

He Jiawei’s laughter became softer and softer as he observed Pan Jin’s serious expression.

“This cauldron is even more shocking than the Houmuwu Rectangle Cauldron! Its craftsmanship is absolutely unbelievable! It’s like it was crafted by the hands of Gods and the hammer of Devils! I’ve never seen such an exquisite artifact in my life! Furthermore, there wasn’t even a single split joint on the cauldron!”

Pan Jin felt his heart trembling with amazement even when merely recalling the beauty of the cauldron.

“How can that be?! How can something like that be crafted with the tools and techniques of the olden eras?!”

Hsiao Mei exclaimed in shock. One had to understand, the crafting techniques of olden eras were extremely limited. How could a large artifact like a cauldron be produced as a singular piece?!

All the cauldrons from the ancient times were made up of parts that were created separately and then joined together. But now, Pan Jin was actually telling them with all seriousness and solemnity that there wasn’t even a single part of the cauldron that indicated any joints! How could they not be shocked?!

Han Dan did not suspect that Pan Jin might have made an error in his appraisal. While there’s an expert who specialized in something for every profession, Pan Jin was an expert amongst experts in this area. “If it’s really as you described, this cauldron has a higher value than several cities combined! We must not let it slip away!”

Hsiao Mei’s eyes shone dangerously as she thought deeply for a moment. “Is there a chance that we can directly buy it from the boss of this place?”

“There is a possibility, but it’s not high. There’s no way that the owner would not have his own suspicions with regards to the value of such a large piece of antique. The moment we express our interest to buy it, even if he didn’t know the origins of the cauldron, he would immediately form his own thoughts about it,” Han Dan rubbed his chin and deduced calmly as he rejected the idea.

He Jiawei who had finally began to get serious was like a completely different person as a murderous gleam passed through his pupils. He drew a finger coldly over his neck and looked at Han Dan, “Big Bro, do you want to…”

Han Dan fell into silence momentarily as he considered the options. As a professional tomb raider for so long, which of their hands have not been drenched in blood before?

Han Dan himself had once sealed the exit to an ancient tomb in cold blood, causing seven or eight other tomb raiders to be trapped inside and buried alongside the deceased owner for eternity.

Finally, after a long pause, Han Dan finally opened his mouth again. “Even robbers have a code of conduct. It’s already not right to steal such a treasure from them; we will try not to harm their lives if it’s possible. Fourth bro, you go back first and bring some of your famed sleeping gas.”

“Got it.”

Having lost all their appetite, the group hurriedly got up to leave.
