Chapter 4488 [Mending the Fence After the Sheep Has Ridden]

“No wonder, the East India Company’s influence spread across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and America… Its scope and power are so wide that it can even rival any other country.

With such power, they can naturally collect a large number of treasures, which is unmatched by any other force. "Xiang Nan then said with emotion.

He used to be concerned about lost treasures, such as the treasure of the Isle of the Dead, King Arthur's treasure, Ponce de Leon's treasure, Alexander the Great's treasure, etc.

But large conglomerates like the East India Company have always been ignored.

The empire established by Alexander the Great only spanned Europe, Asia, and Africa, but a consortium like the East India Company had influence all over the world, and possessed powerful ships and cannons, as well as tens of thousands of well-equipped troops.

Therefore, they are actually more likely to collect more treasures.

In fact, the East India Company did like to plunder treasures everywhere.

For example, Lord Beckett once ordered Jack Sparrow to find the treasure, the Heart of Zerzula, and he also ordered Bill Turner to find Jack Sparrow's wish compass and Davy Jones's Dead Souls Chest.

God knows what other treasures he has ordered others to search for.

"I'm so stupid that I never thought of this." Xiang Nan sighed. If he had known this, he should have taken action earlier.

Fortunately, it is not too late to mend the fold and it is still not too late to take action now.

……

"I didn't expect that I would be discovered by the East India Company not long after I succeeded. They sent people to hunt me down, leaving me with nowhere to hide." Angelica said hatefully, "Okay, I've told you the truth, can you let me go now?"

"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, let go of Angelica, and then took out twenty peanut-sized red, green and blue sapphires and five hundred shining gold coins from his purse. "These should be worth one hundred thousand gold coins. Now they are all yours."

"You're still continuing to trade with me?" Angelica asked in surprise.

She originally thought that she was being robbed by a thief, but she didn't expect Xiang Nan to actually give her money. Twenty red, green and blue sapphires the size of peanuts were worth about 100,000 gold coins.

And Xiang Nan was very thoughtful. If he really gave her 100,000 gold coins, she wouldn't be able to take them away.

Since one gold coin weighs about eight grams, 100,000 gold coins would weigh 800 kilograms. Even using a horse-drawn carriage would be very difficult, and it would be easily noticed by others.

In comparison, twenty peanut-sized gems can be stored in a purse. Moreover, gems of this size are very convenient to sell. Any jewelry store, pawnshop, and gold and silver shop would like to buy such treasures.

Five hundred gold coins were enough for her to spend for a while. After all, prices were very low at that time, and the average person's annual income was no more than 20 or 30 pounds.

"I always keep my word. Since I have agreed to make a deal with you, I will not go back on my word. What belongs to you is yours." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "But you still have something that belongs to me."

Angelica asked smoothly as she packed the gems and coins.

"This is the Sword of Triton." Xiang Nan pointed at the sword in his hand and said, "I gave this sword to Jack Sparrow. Now it appears in your hands. Can you explain it to me?"

"You know Jack Sparrow?" Angelica was surprised and quickly put away the gems and gold coins. Then she grinned and said, "In fact, he and I are good friends. You may not know that he is my first love."

"So this is why you cheated him of his money, his sword, and exiled him to the sea?" Xiang Nan sneered.

When Angelica heard this, she knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she turned around and ran away. "Why don't you learn your lesson? Where are you going to run in front of me?" Xiang Nan shook his head, froze her with a finger, then grabbed her arm and used Apparition.

In an instant, the two arrived on the Black Pearl, thousands of miles away.

……

"Jack, look who I brought here?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Angelica?! What brings you here?" When Jack saw Angelica in Xiang Nan's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up and he walked over staggeringly.

"Oh, Jack, I'm sorry, I was wrong. You know, I didn't mean to hurt you, I was just joking with you." Angelica said with a smile as she saw Jack.

"Really? Not only did you take away my money and my sword, you also exiled me to the sea with no food or water. You call this a joke?" Jack asked with a sneer.

"Of course, you know, I have always loved you." Angelica smiled wryly, "Jack, I knew you would be fine. Look, aren't you very healthy now?"

"That's all thanks to my good friend James." Jack said angrily, "Angelica, I will repay you for everything you have done to me."

"Here you go. You two can have fun." Xiang Nan returned the Sword of Triton and the Compass of Wishes to Jack, then said with a smile, "By the way, let me remind you that there are twenty gems and five hundred gold coins in her purse, which are worth about one hundred thousand pounds."

Jack's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he took the Sword of Triton and the Compass of Wishes, then touched the hilt of the sword. In an instant, the rope on the ship rolled towards Angelica like a snake.

Angelica screamed and immediately ran away, trying to avoid the entanglement of the ropes, but there was no way to escape. She was easily tied up by the ropes and then hung high on the mast.

"Jack, I'm leaving now. Be careful." Xiang Nan said to Jack Sparrow, "If something happens again next time, I'm afraid I won't be able to save you in time."

"I'll remember the lesson." Jack nodded.

Xiang Nan waved to him, then teleported away from the Black Pearl and came to the warehouse of the East India Company.

……

I saw that this warehouse was built in a cave. It was very large, as big as a stadium, and the defenses were very tight.

The doors of the warehouse are all solid iron doors, several dozen centimeters thick and weighing several tons. Even if they are blasted open by cannons, they may not be able to be blasted open.

Angelica also used the honey trap to steal the key and open the warehouse door. But unfortunately, she only had time to steal the Mountain of Light diamond.

Xiang Nan looked around the warehouse and saw that it was filled with boxes of different sizes. Each box had a number on it to classify it.

These boxes of different sizes stacked together look like a small hill and look quite spectacular.

"It's a bit like the final warehouse in "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark." Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

In the first "Indiana Jones" movie, the Ark of the Covenant found by Dr. Indiana Jones was packed in a wooden box and stored in a large warehouse.

The warehouse is filled with similar boxes, which makes people wonder what kind of incredible treasures are inside.
