EuropeNovelEli and Aite looked at each other, and their expressions darkened. "That's hardly possible, Mister Penn. We've done the math, and
that chest of gold is really worth around two hundred million. The difference can't be that big."
Aite nodded. "We want forty million, and not a penny less. Otherwise, we won't give up our share."
Wilbur frowned at the two men with growing suspicion. After all, the chest was buried deep in the Vicente Primeval Forest, where
