I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Li Yuan turned his head and looked in the direction from which the teasing voice came.

The speaker turned out to be an elderly man with white hair wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The old man looked at Li Yuan and the others with a smile.

Behind him followed more than 10 burly men in full armor, who looked like mercenaries.

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow, about to speak...

But then Evelyn, who was standing nearby, suddenly raised her voice and questioned:

"Professor Banner! What are you doing here?"

Li Yuan was slightly taken aback, not expecting Evelyn to know him.

He only remembered that there was a group of people in the movie who had a conflict with them.

But he couldn't remember who the other person was.

Professor Banner smiled slightly, glanced at Rick, and then...

He whispered to Evelyn:

"I'm not here, so how can I thank you for helping me find Hamunaptra?"

This is something even your father couldn't do back then!

Li Yuan glanced at Rick and said softly:

"Are you in cahoots with him?"

Rick quickly waved his hand and explained to Li Yuan:

"No! I don't know him at all!"

Professor Banner said with a smile:

"This young man is right, we really have no relationship."

I simply bribed the hotel owner to install a listening device in the car.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan frowned slightly, thinking to himself:

Who exactly is this guy?

Meanwhile, Evelyn, upon hearing the other person mention her father,

Suddenly, some bad thoughts began to form in my mind.

She glared angrily at Professor Banner and asked in a hostile tone:

"Professor Banner! What do you mean by that!"

"Is my father's death related to you?"

Professor Banner seemed to think he had more people on his side.

Moreover, they are well-equipped and victory is already assured.

He then admitted it with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Evelyn, your father's death was indeed related to me."

But it's all your father's fault; he's a naive and foolish fellow!

Back then, we searched together for Hamunaptra, the city of the dead.

Efforts were made to research and explore relevant literature.

However, due to differences in their philosophies, they ultimately parted ways.

As he spoke, a nostalgic expression appeared on Professor Banner's face.

But then, his expression changed.

A ferocious expression appeared on his face:

"That idiot actually thought he could donate everything inside Hamunaptra after finding it!"

By then he had already found the treasure map of Hamunaptra.

No matter how I tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen to me.

They were even less willing to hand over the treasure map to me!

"What lies buried here is endless wealth."

How could he do such a thing! How dare he do such a thing!

Professor Banner slowly opened his arms.

I took a deep breath of the dusty smell of the desert.

Then he said to Evelyn in a low voice:

"So, I had your father killed."

Evelyn trembled with anger as she listened to Professor Banner's words.

She pointed at Professor Banner and shouted curses:

"You shameless, utterly despicable bastard! You'll go to hell!"

"So what can we do?"

"I'd rather go to hell for wealth."

Professor Banner replied in a flat tone,

Then, pointing to Jonathan and Evelyn, he continued:

"At the time, I intended to kill you two siblings as well."

But I still haven't been able to find the treasure map left by your father.

I was thinking, you two idiots,

Perhaps if there's a chance to find the treasure map left by your father, I'll spare your lives.

Professor Banner then burst into laughter:

"I was right! You did find it!"

Professor Banner's arrogant laughter echoed in the dark night.

Li Yuan glanced at Evelyn, who was crying from anger, and Jonathan, who looked completely helpless.

He picked at his ear and called out to Professor Banner:

"Hey, it's so noisy, can you please stop laughing?"

Professor Banner paused slightly.

She glared at Li Yuan with some displeasure.

This is the happiest time of his life, how can he let anyone interrupt him?

Thinking of this, Professor Banner waved to the mercenaries behind him and gave them an order:

"Kill them."

'Click'

The moment the order was given, the soft click of a bullet being chambered echoed through the room.

Immediately following was a deafening gunshot!

"Bang--"

After a gunshot,

Professor Banner's head, in Evelyn and Jonathan's astonished gazes,

He was shot in the back and blown to bits!

Professor Banner had a gaping hole smashed into his forehead and collapsed to the ground.

His wide eyes still held a hint of confusion.

Li Yuan, who had intended to call on Grace to take action, was stunned in place.

He stared into Professor Banner's unseeing eyes and muttered to himself:

"Life is truly unpredictable; perhaps joy turned to sorrow?"

At that moment, the mercenary leader who had fired the shot spat at the corpse.

He chuckled lightly and said to Evelyn and the others:

"You are more useful to me than him."

That old man's been living a life of luxury for too long; he's never even been to his own grave.

Coming to his senses, Li Yuan picked up a piece of grilled meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

He then extended his hand and gave a thumbs-up to the mercenary leader.

He praised her, his words slightly slurred:

"Brother, you're decisive enough. You're definitely someone who's going to do great things."

The mercenary leader, pleased with the praise, smiled slightly and said to Li Yuan:

"You're right, I am indeed destined for great things."

He paused, glanced at Li Yuan and his group, and said:

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

I hope to collaborate with you to explore Hamunaptra.

You provide the technology, we provide the personnel.

When the time comes, we can each have half of the treasures inside!

What do you guys think?

Because the situation in Hamnata is not well understood.

Li Yuan didn't know whether he needed to dig down there.

So he turned his head and cast an inquiring look at Evelyn.

However, Evelyn was standing there, stunned, staring at Professor Banner lying on the ground.

Still immersed in the regret that his father's killer had died so easily.

Li Yuan coughed lightly and asked Evelyn:

"Evelyn? Should we excavate the area below?"

Evelyn only came to her senses after hearing Li Yuan's voice.

She wiped away the tears in her eyes and asked in confusion:

"What did you say, Mr. Li Yuan?"

Seeing this, Li Yuan had no choice but to repeat the question again.

Evelyn nodded upon hearing this and said:

"Yes, we need to, but we don't know how much we need to dig. We'll find out tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing Evelyn's words, Li Yuan temporarily suppressed his murderous intent.

Since there's free labor available, we might as well put up with it for now.

Li Yuan looked at the other person and said with a light smile:

"I agree, and I hope you won't go back on your word."

The mercenary leader's eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice:

"Absolutely not! I, Benny, swear to God!"

If I break my oath, may I die a horrible death!

Benny's vow echoed through the vast desert.

It seemed as if some deity was responding to him from the shadows.
