Xiao Ran looked at the priest and didn't respond. He just smiled and nodded.
Then, he turned to look at John standing aside.
"What do you mean? John, is the agreement between us invalid?"
Hearing this, John's expression immediately changed.
As a wealthy family with a history of more than 200 years, it is the head of all Boston Brahmin families.
The Addams family would never want to be known as treacherous, at least on the surface.
Doing that would be tantamount to destroying the Great Wall!
Looking at the priest again, his expression changed instantly.
He naturally understood the stakes involved and knew that he was too anxious and, driven by greed, revealed his intentions too early.
Thinking of this, he was ready to explain aloud.
However, John had no intention of giving him this opportunity.
"Sean, Professor Baker, you don't have to have any concerns or worries. The agreement between us is always valid."
"You can launch joint exploration operations here. No one will stop you, but you must protect this historical building."
"According to the agreement we signed, no matter what you find in this underground crack, our family has the right of first refusal."
Upon hearing this, Professor Baker and the others immediately let out a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"As long as the agreement is effective, John, Pastor Hall, don't worry, we will definitely protect this historical building."
"Next, we will launch an exploration operation here to see what secrets are hidden in this crack deep underground."
"Okay, Sean, I'm looking forward to witnessing a miracle."
John said with a smile and a nod.
The priest named Hall just nodded and said nothing more.
After finishing this matter, Xiao Ran turned to look at the other people at the scene.
"Jack, this exploration operation may cause quite a stir. If you think it is necessary, you can notify the Boston City Government."
Before he finished speaking, Jack immediately continued:
"Of course it's necessary, Sean. I'll notify the mayor and others right away."
"The existence of this underground crack is not only related to the treasure, but also related to the safety of the city of Boston."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and then continued:
"Guys, it's noon now. Let's have some lunch in this church."
"After lunch, we will start the next step of exploration to see what we can find."
"During this period, I also need to make some arrangements to prepare for the upcoming exploration operation."
Before he finished speaking, everyone in the joint exploration team responded in unison:
"Okay, Sean."
Next, Xiao Ran gave everyone a few more instructions and arranged for some of his employees and security personnel to go out and order food.
As for the others, they rested in the church and organized various exploration equipment.
Afterwards, everyone went their own way and dispersed.
Some of the exploration team members started to make statistics to see what everyone wanted to eat, and then went to a nearby restaurant to order food.
Another part of the exploration team found a place to sit down, sorting out the exploration tools, and talking enthusiastically.
After many joint exploration team members dispersed, Xiao Ran looked at Professor Baker and the others.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Gentlemen, in the next exploration operation, I am going to conduct a live broadcast so that my tens of thousands of fans can see the exploration process."
"This is an agreement between me and all my fans. I cannot break my promise. Of course, I will pay attention to protecting Yale's interests during the live broadcast."
"Today is the election day. If I weren't worried about stealing the limelight of the election and being targeted by the two presidential candidates, I would really want to do a live broadcast on the entire network, which would definitely cause a huge sensation!"
Professor Baker and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed.
"Of course it's okay for you to live broadcast in front of Chinese fans in your own live broadcast room, Sean, but you can never live broadcast to the entire Internet in the United States today."
"Today's situation is very special. If you stage a live broadcast to steal the limelight of the election, you will definitely be targeted by both parties afterwards, especially the losing party!"
Professor Baker chuckled and nodded, and also gave a few reminders.
The others also nodded, obviously having the same idea.
This is not the first time they have encountered live broadcasting. They have long been accustomed to it, and naturally they will not object.
John and others standing aside had a hint of fear in their eyes.
They knew in their hearts that the reason why Xiao Ran did this was to target the Adams family and the Boston city government.
Once the live broadcast starts, the space will be compressed to a very small space in front of everyone, no matter what tricks the Adams family or the Boston city government want to play.
If you are not careful, you may be accused of betrayal, or even be ruined.
In this day and age, who dares to ignore the power of online public opinion?
Especially the countless online trolls, who can still create three-foot waves even if there is no wind!
If I pass the evidence of my treachery into the hands of those guys, there is a 100% chance that some guys will take advantage of me and lead to continuous verbal and written criticism!
For the Boston Brahmin family, reputation is so important, and each family cherishes its feathers extremely much!
Even if there are countless sins and disgusting filth hidden under those beautiful feathers, the surface should still be bright and beautiful!
Next, Xiao Ran began to talk to Professor Baker and the others about the next step of exploration.
Meanwhile, in a cafe near the church.
Professor Samuel, Professor Julian and others are drinking coffee and eating a sumptuous lunch here.
They were not the only ones enjoying lunch in this restaurant.
Just now, a large number of people watching the excitement poured into several nearby cafes and restaurants.
As soon as they entered the door, these guys started shouting and asked the clerk to bring them the best coffee and delicious food. They all behaved very generously.
The owners of these cafes and restaurants have received the news at this time.
They knew that Xiao Ran, a super rich man, would pay for these guys who braved the wind and snow to take advantage.
With such a good thing falling out of the sky, how can these coffee shop and restaurant owners let it go?
They immediately ordered their clerks to meet the requirements of all customers, including top-quality coffee and various delicacies, so that these guys could eat and drink freely.
However, whoever drinks alcohol has to pay for it out of his own pocket!
In the blink of an eye, the cafes and restaurants near Faneuil Hall were full, and there were even long lines.
As for the cafe and restaurant owners, they all smiled like idiots!
Some of the guys who responded quickly even called the supplier right away.
Ask suppliers to send you more high-end coffee and top-quality ingredients, and prepare to make a fortune.
Of course, what they considered to be a huge profit was not worth mentioning in Xiao Ran's opinion.
Seeing the lively scene in the cafe, Professor Samuel couldn't help but express some emotion.
"I have to say, Sean is really good at winning over people. He won the favor of so many people with just a few cups of coffee and a delicious meal."
After saying that, he picked up the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee on the table in front of him and took a sip of it intoxicatedly.
Like everyone else, Xiao Ran paid for this cup of coffee.
However, Professor Samuel was not embarrassed at all.
Professors Julian and Langdon sitting opposite, as well as several MIT professors at adjacent tables, all laughed.
While he was talking, Professor Samuel's cell phone suddenly rang, which was a message notification tone.
He immediately put down his coffee cup and took out his phone to check the message he had just received.
The next moment, he suddenly froze, dumbfounded, with a face full of disbelief.
Seeing this scene, the others were very surprised.
"Samuel, what happened? Why do you look like you saw a ghost?"
Professor Julian asked curiously.
Following his words, Professor Samuel just woke up.
Immediately afterwards, the professor of history at Harvard University said excitedly:
"That guy Sean really got it right. That lucky guy actually created another miracle. It's incredible!"
"I just received news that Sean made a major discovery in that Gothic church. They found a crack hidden deep underground."
"It is said that the crack was discovered by the British before the Revolutionary War and was then used to hide secrets or treasures. It is very hidden."
"The colonial treasure that the joint exploration team came to Boston to look for this time is most likely hidden in that underground fissure..."
Before he could even finish his words, the history professors on the scene exploded!
"What? That guy Sean discovered an underground crack. How is this possible? It's just a fantasy."
Professor Julian jumped up and exclaimed.
Immediately afterwards, an MIT professor next to him also exclaimed.
"Yes! How is this possible? You know, this is the center of Boston."
"And it's on the edge of the Charles River and the Atlantic Ocean. How can there be such a thing as an underground crack?"
With their exclamations, the entire cafe was shaken.
The guys sitting at other tables, drinking coffee and enjoying lunch, were shocked by what they said.
Those guys all turned their heads and looked this way, dumbfounded.
One of the guys who was enjoying the filet steak was distracted for a moment and put the fork stuck in the steak to his nose.
"ah!"
With a scream, everyone on the scene was instantly awakened.
At this moment, another guy holding coffee suddenly stood up.
As a result, the cup of hot coffee in his hand was poured onto the companion next to him.
There was another scream at the scene, and there was chaos.
In the chaos, Professor Samuel received several messages one after another.
He quickly checked the information, and then said with red eyes:
"Guys, this is not a fantasy, but a very real fact. That secret underground fissure was discovered by Sean using deep ground-penetrating radar."
"Just now, that guy Sean has asked the members of the joint exploration team to start preparations. After lunch, they will start the excavation operation."
"The reason why Sean and the others went to explore that Gothic church was because of a set of mysterious numbers that disappeared in 1859. That set of numbers was 320916,..."
Next, Samuel briefly introduced how Xiao Ran discovered the underground crack.
Following his introduction, everyone at the scene was completely dumbfounded, as if they were listening to a fairy tale.
At the same time, there were waves of exclamations on the scene, one after another.
While exclaiming, everyone present was filled with envy and jealousy, and some guys' eyes were even scarier.
After Professor Samuel finished introducing the situation, the scene became quiet, leaving only the sound of rapid breathing.
The silence only lasted for a moment before someone broke it.
Professor Samuel took a sip of coffee and then said decisively:
"Gentlemen, regarding the exploration of this underground fissure, we must participate in whatever we say, or at least be present at the scene."
"There may or may not be colonial treasures hidden in this underground crack, but its existence is related to the safety of the city of Boston."
"So we must participate. Even if we cannot enter this underground fissure, we must understand its situation. This is our responsibility."
These words were high-sounding, but the history professors at the scene all knew what Samuel was planning.
They all suppressed their laughter and immediately echoed.
"Yes, this exploration operation is related to the safety of the city of Boston. We must participate."
"If this underground crack is very long or deep, it will definitely threaten the safety of Boston and threaten many people."
In the blink of an eye, the history professors had reached a consensus.
Seeing this scene, Professor Samuel's eyes immediately flashed with pride.
Then, the old fox continued:
"I will inform the president of Harvard University about the situation here and ask the Harvard University exploration team to come here with various exploration equipment."
"If those guys like Sean need support, we at Harvard University can support them and complete this joint exploration operation together."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and began to notify the president of Harvard University and his exploration team.
Seeing him do this, the eyes of the professors at MIT and Tufts University lit up.
These guys followed suit and took out their mobile phones one after another and began to notify their respective university presidents and others.
While he was talking, the door of the cafe was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Along with a cold wind, three members of the joint exploration team and two armed security guards walked into the cafe.
"brush!"
Everyone in the coffee shop turned to look at them, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot.
Seeing this scene, the guys who had just entered the door were all stunned.
Being stared at so closely by so many people even gave them a creepy feeling!
What's wrong with these guys? Their eyes are all red. Are they all crazy?
