The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 65: Eleven Heroes of the Treasure Stealing Group
"Brother Chen! What I admire most is people like you who are loyal and righteous! Knowing that there are many dangers, but for the sake of our brothers in the treasure-stealing group, Brother Chen dared to pass through the blockade of the Knights! I admire you!"

Among the eleven heroes of the treasure-stealing group, the tall and strong man with a beard smiled heartily. At the banquet that was finally put together, he raised his glass and said solemnly: "Brother, I toast to you! Cheers!"

"You're too polite, bro. When I joined the Silver Wing Treasure Stealing Group, the boss told me that the brothers in the group are all family members! How can I turn a blind eye and stand idly by when my family is in trouble?"

Chen Tianfeng also raised his glass with a sincere smile: "Brother, just don't despise me because I'm the only one left in Silver Wing! Cheers!"

"No way! I'm already moved to tears just by your willingness to come!"

Tears really welled up in my eyes, especially since this bastard was about to kidnap all his brothers. When the hell did such a monster appear in the Liyue Treasure Hunting Group!

The bearded man cursed in his heart, with a look of heartache in his eyes. He took out a black and red token with the Fatui emblem from his arms, gritted his teeth, and handed it to Chen Tianfeng: "Brother, this is the reward that the Fatui promised to our treasure-stealing group. Take it and you can exchange it at any Northland bank. At least hundreds of thousands of Mora!"

"Brother, what are you doing!?"

Chen Tianfeng pushed the token away, his expression serious, not pretending: "We agreed that I am alone, even though I am here, the help I can provide is limited, so these rewards should be counted as the help I provided!"

Didn’t you know at the beginning that you could kidnap all the brothers at once?

The bearded man felt a toothache, knowing that Chen Tianfeng was not really refusing, but was dissatisfied that he didn't give enough.

Yes, if he had Chen Tianfeng's ability, how could he only take back his share - then everything must belong to me!
"Brother, what are you talking about! Although Brother Chen came here alone, he also represents an independent treasure-stealing group, so he must have everything he needs! What's more, when Brother Chen came, the brothers felt like they saw hope, and their morale was boosted!"

How could morale be low? If they had come back a little later, maybe their subordinates would have taken the initiative to join Silver Wing! By then, they could be the big boss of Silver Wing, and they should thank Chen Tianfeng for having a conscience!

The bearded man exchanged glances with the other treasure-stealing group leaders, feeling even more heartbroken. He even managed to smile for a moment, and took out another token: "Also, since Brother Chen came to help despite the danger, we naturally have to show our appreciation."

Damn it, I worked so hard and didn’t make much money!
"Hey, you're so polite, brother. We're all brothers, why would we be so fussy about it?"

Chen Tianfeng took the token and said shyly: "But brother insisted again and again, I can't refuse him anymore, it would hurt his feelings."

You can refuse! I'm not sad!
The bearded man could hardly hold back his smile, regretting that he hadn't recognized the true face of this bastard at first.

"By the way, Brother Chen, our brothers..."

Seeing Chen Tianfeng accept the token, many of the eleven heroes of the treasure-stealing group breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said carefully: "Can you talk to them about their dreams again?"

"Don't worry, brothers. I will tell them that dreams are important, but they cannot be rootless and floating. We also need to be down-to-earth and focus on the present!" Chen Tianfeng said solemnly.

"That's good, that's good."

The eleven heroes of the treasure-stealing team breathed a sigh of relief, and there was another round of toasts and nice words that they had racked their brains to come up with.

There was no one who was silent and dull. After all, he was able to become the boss of the treasure-stealing group. Among the twelve people present, no one really cared about face and arrogance that could not make a living.

After a banquet in a warm and friendly atmosphere, Chen Tianfeng took the stage to give the final speech to the many members of the treasure-stealing group and left the podium amid cheers.

"Brother, I heard that the Fatui are looking for a secret treasure in this ruins?" Chen Tianfeng approached the bearded man and did not hide his curiosity: "Brother, do you know what that is?"

"This"

The bearded man glanced back and saw that the other eleven heroes of the treasure-stealing group had tacitly avoided the way. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, turned his sight back, and smiled: "To be honest, I don't know either. I only know that the thing is placed on the tribute platform in the center of the ruins, in a large stone box."

"The Fatui didn't open the box? That's not right. According to the Fatui's style, even if they can't open the box, they should move the box away, right?" Chen Tianfeng touched his chin and guessed, "Could it be that there is more than one secret treasure in this ruins?"

"That's not the case. There is only one secret treasure, and my brothers have almost searched all the ruins." The bearded man shook his head and gave a convincing reason.

The treasure-hunting group may not be good at other things, but they are professional at finding treasures, and their methods are extremely unsophisticated, without any regard for whether they will cause damage to the treasure hiding place. These locust-like thieves said they didn't find it, and that meant they really didn't find it.

"Then why.?"

"Because there is a seal around the tribute platform, a large elemental shield, locked there, no one can get in."

The bearded man explained, "The Fatui have cooperated with that stupid family in Mondstadt and borrowed an alchemist master. They have been trying to crack the seal these days and it should be broken soon."

"What kind of family is Lawrence?" Chen Tianfeng frowned slightly: "Lawrence?"

"That's right! It's Lawrence. There are two of them. One is the alchemist master, and the other one is the one who talks a lot. I heard he's some noble."

"Brother, you are not from Mond?"

"I'm from Liyue."

"It's not easy to make a living in a foreign country, bro."

"Who says it's not?"

The bearded man sighed and smacked his lips. "I hope these Fatui can finish this quickly. The Knights' reinforcements have already arrived. If we keep wasting time, no one will be able to escape. Alas, even now, we might be unlucky enough to run into the Knights when we flee."

The bearded man gritted his teeth and said firmly: "When the time comes, I will surrender directly!"

".Brother is open-minded."

Chen Tianfeng took a closer look at this brave and resourceful man, gave him a thumbs up, and then went straight to the point: "Brother, can you take me to see the seal and the secret treasure? I am really curious."

"Hey, there's no way a treasure-hunting group wouldn't be curious. Come on, I'll take you there."

The bearded man patted Chen Tianfeng on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

After walking a few steps, the bearded man looked back and made sure that he was out of sight of the other eleven treasure-stealing heroes. After no one followed him, his eyes flashed and he lowered his voice: "Brother, I think these Fatui are doomed. If you have any plans, I will definitely cooperate with you!"
