"What are these mysterious symbols and textual patterns?" Allen Zhang glanced and asked.
"It’s said to be the location where treasures are buried. Priyan made his fortune through treasure hunting in the early years, embarking on sea voyages with friends to search for treasures, and he successfully found a stash of pirate-era Spanish silver coins. The total value at the time had already exceeded 50 million US Dollars. After that, he took that money and made other investment businesses, which is how he accumulated a great deal of wealth."
The engineer said, "Later, he spent a lot of money to purchase this island, exclusively for safeguarding his wealth and indulgence. He also had us build this secret spot here, but he rarely comes over on ordinary days, and I don’t know what this really signifies."
Now this secret spot, known only by two people, was known to everyone present.
Allen Zhang looked at him in surprise, "You must be more than just a regular engineer, right? To know so much information, Priyan couldn’t possibly tell everything to an outsider, could he?"
"Actually, I’m somewhat his half personal butler, also a cousin of Jehovah, and we are from the same family. My name is Stanley Priyan, although Jehovah doesn’t really like the family system, thinking relatives are all Vampires; he only cares about his biological son, and daughter. Someone like me, even related by blood and sharing the same surname, wouldn’t have been invited to work on the island if I didn’t have this technical expertise."
The engineer said reluctantly, "I could have found other excuses, or even chose to conceal this matter, but in the end, I decided to be honest with you. Sir, whether you decide to fire me, or worry that I might hold a grudge and not work diligently, kicking me out of the project, I can accept it!"
"Your honesty has earned you a steady job, Mr. Priyan."
Allen Zhang pondered for a moment and then decided to let him stay and work for himself.
Although he still didn’t know the value of the mural in this tunnel, at least there weren’t dozens of kilograms of explosives buried here!
If the tunnel midpoint up the mountain got blown up directly, it was certain the mountaintop villa would suffer an earthquake-like collapse.
Construction and renovation were minor issues, but if someone lived inside, there was no chance of survival!
The more Allen Zhang thought about it, the more he felt this was a significant matter. Although he had defenses and didn’t need to worry, now that someone was willing to step forward and confess, it was no doubt due to seeing the charm in the personality of the General Sect Leader!
He patted his shoulder and praised, "Don’t worry, I’m not the type to hold onto past grievances because I tend to settle them on the spot. I know you are not that close to Jehovah, and if this mural turns out to be very valuable, and I decode it and make money, I will definitely consider giving you a substantial bonus! Even if it’s worthless, I will still give you a raise. From now on, you’ll be in charge of overseeing the construction here, and there are many places on the island that need to be repaired and restored."
"Thank you for your generosity, boss." The engineer said gratefully.
Having returned to the mountaintop villa, he had someone check the island’s power supply and Water Purifier, everything was good and functional, and then communicated and planned with the engineers for the design and maintenance, sending them to take care of ordering materials and building.
He also took time to check on the Guinea Pig named ’Elizabeth’ in the laboratory, which was running and jumping around without any issues; the General Sect Leader, after considering, decided to simply release it into the dense forest area of the island.
