Only to see Abdullah’s chief of the exploration team briskly approaching with a large clump of mud in his arms, his face filled with excited smiles.

Abdullah furrowed his brows slightly, looking at the chunk of soil. “Moulic, what are you holding?”

“BOSS, this is something good, just wait a moment.” Moulic quickly cleared away the mud, revealing a large, glittering golden dog head in front of everyone.

Moreover, this piece of golden dog head had a very unique shape, resembling an eagle soaring with its wings spread.

Seeing this golden dog head, which looked extremely like an eagle, Abdullah’s eyes sparkled as he stared intently.

Zhou Chao also understood Abdullah’s mood at this moment. After all, in their Camel Country, falcons were considered like totems. Now, having one naturally presented in front of him, how could he contain his excitement? If he brought this eagle-shaped golden dog head back to his country, he couldn’t imagine how many brothers and sisters would envy him.

“If I offer it to Father first, my status will rise significantly again!” Abdullah indulged in his fantasy.

After all, this golden dog head was naturally formed, which was different in meaning from gold castings.

Moulic also saw the joy in his boss’s eyes at this moment. “Boss, I’ll go clean it up and deliver it to you right away.”

Abdullah squinted and nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Zhou Chao coughed lightly beside him. “Abdullah, did you forget whose territory this is? You didn’t even inform me and just declared sovereignty over my treasure.”

Zhou Chao looked at Abdullah with a teasing look. And Ilya, standing beside him, also had a smile on his face.

Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Abdullah finally reacted. This gold mine still belonged to Zhou Chao. Naturally, what was dug out belonged to him. He had forgotten this in his excitement.

“Zhou, you know the significance of this thing to me. Name your price.” Abdullah looked at Zhou Chao somewhat nervously. He wasn’t afraid of Zhou Chao asking for a high price. Money was not that important for people at their level. He was afraid of hearing “not for sale” from Zhou Chao.

Seeing Abdullah’s pitiful gaze, Zhou Chao also revealed a smirk.

Seeing this smile, Abdullah’s heart skipped a beat. But he still held onto hope. After all, things were valuable only in the hands of those who needed them. Zhou Chao would probably keep it as a curious item at most.

“No rush, let’s finish everything first, then we can talk about this matter in detail.” Zhou Chao said softly.

Upon hearing this, Abdullah and Liya’s expressions changed, understanding that Zhou Chao wouldn’t drag them into the water easily this time.

But Abdullah quickly figured it out. Originally, he also had to take a dip in this muddy water. At most, he would pay a little more for it later.

Compared to Abdullah’s relaxed attitude, Liya’s mood was very uncomfortable. After all, Liya’s wealth was far inferior to Abdullah’s, not to mention that he still had a huge family and country behind him, since Abdullah was the prince of Camel Country.

In contrast, Ilya was different. Besides a few companies under his command, he only had his identity. For a moment, Ilya fell into contemplation.

“It seems that I am far behind in this competition.” Liya also understood. If he wanted to gain a greater share of the gold mine this time, relying solely on himself would not be enough.

Zhou Chao asked Lin Wu to take the eagle-shaped golden dog head from Moulic’s hands. Although Moulic was very reluctant, under Abdullah’s gaze, he finally let go.

Lin Wu also found a box specially, carefully placing the golden dog head in it. Surrounding it were many clothes to fill the space, to prevent any accidental damage.

“Sit, sit, don’t stand, continue drinking tea!” Zhou Chao hurriedly invited the two to sit down.

Although the three continued to drink tea leisurely, each of them had a lot on their minds. Their conversation gradually became less coherent.

An hour quickly passed. At this time, the basin was bustling with activity. There were people digging pits, drilling holes, and scanning the entire basin with instruments. The two exploration teams were exploring the storage capacity of this gold mine using their respective methods.

“Boss, some food has been sent over from home. Do you think we should let these people take a break?” Lin Wu jogged up to Zhou Chao’s side and whispered softly.

Abdullah and Liya, who were leisurely drinking tea on the side, also came back to their senses at this time. It seemed that they hadn’t considered the issue of their subordinates having lunch earlier.

An embarrassed expression appeared on their faces involuntarily.

“Zhou, you’re always so thoughtful, making you worry so much!” Abdullah said apologetically.

Zhou Chao waved his hand with a smile. “Well, since you’ve come to my territory, I have to consider these things thoroughly. Let your people take a break and have lunch, then get back to work.”

After saying that, Zhou Chao turned to Lin Wu. “Lin Wu, go with Lev and distribute the food to the members of the exploration team.”

“Yes, boss!” Lin Wu didn’t hesitate and turned away immediately.

“Abdullah, how long will your exploration take? We can’t just sit around here all day..”
