Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over-Chapter 64 - -An act of saving one’s life cannot be repaid!(1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
Two hours later, Daniel arrived at Los Santlant.
He did not go directly to Abel, but went to the southern suburbs of Los Santlant.
He stopped in front of an old villa, and through the window confirmed the house number.
"Number 36, this is the place."
After confirming, Daniel got out of the car.
This was the owner of the land where the gold mine was located, a contact that Rachel had found.
Daniel knocked on the door, calling out, "Hello, is this the Martin residence?"
No one responded. He rang the doorbell a few times and waited for a while, but still no sound.
They must be out.
Daniel was about to go back to his car and wait when he noticed that the door was ajar.
Should he go in?
Daniel hesitated.
If he was mistaken for a thief and ended up being shot at, he would be out of luck.
At that moment, Daniel noticed something off.
The front door was directly opposite the living room, and Daniel noticed that the room was in disarray, with various items knocked over as if there had been a struggle.
Daniel instantly went on high alert, one hand reaching for his gun while the other clutched his phone, ready to dial 911.
Just then, two men dressed in black leaped out from both sides of the door, reaching out to grab him.
Daniel didn’t hesitate to shoot, the blast echoing loudly as a flame spit out from his silver pistol.
The man who rushed him first got a hole blown through his chest the size of a bowl and was sent flying backward into the living room.
The other man, clearly not expecting Daniel to use his gun in broad daylight, was stunned but still reached into his clothes, obviously going for his weapon.
Daniel, faster, fired another shot.
This one hit the man’s arm, the force of the bullet completely severing it.
His detached arm fell to the ground, fingers still twitching and reaching out.
The scene was intensely gruesome.
Once the immediate threat was neutralized, Daniel didn’t choose to finish off the injured man.
Instead, he stepped into the villa, gun at the ready.
Right inside the entrance, he discovered an elderly man with white hair bound and gagged.
Seeing Daniel with a gun, the old man became extremely agitated, muffled sounds coming from behind his gag.
Daniel approached and untied the rope around the man, saying, "Don’t worry. I’m not with them."
The moment the rope was loosened, the old man hastily removed the tape from his mouth, letting loose a stream of profanity.
Daniel finally understood what he had been trying to say earlier.
"Frickin’ motherlovers! Screw your entire family!"
"You dare to kidnap me? Do you know how heroic I was back on the battlefield?"
Cursing all the while, the old man rushed into a room and came back out with a shiny black shotgun.
He aimed at the body of the man Daniel had shot and sent flying into the living room, firing two thunderous shots.
The man, who had already been on the brink of death, was now barely recognizable.
Then, the old man walked outside, ignoring the pleas of the still-breathing man, and shot him dead.
After completing this grim task, he returned to the living room, sat down on the couch, and took deep breaths.
Daniel was flabbergasted.
He’d thought the old man was crying out of fear, but the way he’d dealt with those men was cold and ruthless.
He was clearly a tough cookie.
Once the old man had calmed down, Daniel asked, "Are you Sago Martin?"
The old man turned to look at him, examined him for a few seconds, and then nodded.
"I am Sago Martin. Thanks, young man. If it wasn’t for you, I might have been a goner."
Daniel gave him a small smile.
He didn’t take the old man’s words to heart.
Judging from how the old man handled things, Daniel knew he wasn’t an ordinary person.
Even if he hadn’t shown up, the old man might’ve found a way to escape.
Looking at the two bodies at the entrance, Daniel asked, "Did you piss off someone?"
"They don’t seem like average people."
Their black sunglasses and suits, their smooth movements when they went for their guns - if Daniel hadn’t been a sharpshooter, he could’ve been the one lying in a pool of blood.
Sago Martin frowned, thought for a while, and finally shook his head.
"I haven’t crossed paths with anyone, and I’ve never seen them before."
"They might be ordinary robbers. Let the police handle the investigation."
Something didn’t feel right.
They weren’t just common thieves.
Daniel trusted his instincts and couldn’t shake the feeling that their appearance might have something to do with the gold mine.

A couple of hours later, Daniel arrived in Los Santlant. Instead of heading straight to Abel, he made his way to a modest villa in the southern suburbs of the town. He parked his car out front, double-checking the address through the window.
"Number 36, this is the place."
After confirming the address, he got out of the car and made his way to the front door.
This was the residence of the rightful owner of the plot of land where the gold mine was situated, a lead that Rachel had provided.
He knocked on the door and called out, "Hello, is this the Martin residence?"
There was no response.
He rang the doorbell a few times and waited for a while but still no answer.
They must be out.
He was about to head back to his car and wait when he noticed that the door was slightly ajar.
He hesitated at the threshold.
If he walked in and got mistaken for a burglar, that could end badly.
But then he noticed something alarming.
The door directly faced the living room, and from where he was standing, he could see that the room was in a mess.
Furniture overturned, items scattered around - signs of a struggle.
"Unfortunately, we didn’t leave anyone alive to question," Sago Martin remarked, noting Daniel’s arrival was unusual.
He put his shotgun on the table and asked, "You were the one calling out at the door just now, weren’t you? I don’t recall knowing you, how did you end up at my home?"
Daniel came back to reality, then expressed his intention, "I’d like to buy the land you own."
Sago Martin seemed slightly taken aback, an eyebrow raised, "Scott Mountain?"
Daniel nodded.
Sago Martin seemed puzzled, "What do you want with that land?"
Daniel replied, "My property is west of your land. I’m planning to build a mountain resort hotel there, so I’m looking to expand in all directions."
This was, of course, a convenient cover story; Daniel certainly couldn’t tell him that his land was hiding a gold mine.
Sago Martin didn’t doubt Daniel’s words.
He said, "You saved my life. I would give you not just my land, but my life if you asked."
Daniel was pleased, "So, you agree to sell the land to me?" He didn’t expect things to go so smoothly.
Sago Martin shook his head.
Before Daniel could react, Sago Martin added, "I’m not selling it to you; I’m giving it to you. Consider it my way of repaying the debt I owe you for saving my life."
Before Daniel could politely decline, Sago Martin had already taken out a piece of paper from the house and spread it in front of Daniel.
Sago Martin sat down, faced Daniel, and said, "You don’t need to say anything more. I’m not a man who likes being in someone’s debt, especially when it comes to the debt of a life saved. This land title, you take it. The land is now yours."
Daniel realized how stubborn Sago Martin was and decided not to refuse any further.
He picked up the land title, took a glance, and found that the land size was 2,500 acres.
Moreover, like his, it was also a non-directional land title.
Anyone who possessed this title would own the affiliated land.
This meant the gold mine was now exclusively owned by Daniel!
Before Daniel could rejoice, he heard many sirens outside.
It seemed that the neighbors must have heard the gunshots and called the police.
The two men in black had trespassed on private property.
Neither Daniel, who had acted in self-defense, nor Sago Martin, who was exercising his legal rights, were troubled by the police.
After understanding the situation, the police removed the bodies.
Daniel, holding the land title, bid farewell to Sago Martin, who was cleaning the floor.
Leaving the villa, Daniel headed straight to Scott Mountain.
When he found Abel, more than an hour had passed.
Abel and Allen, who were leading the exploration, came rushing towards Daniel when they saw him.
Allen exclaimed excitedly, "Dan, you wouldn’t believe how big this gold mine is!"
Daniel asked, "Did you discover more of the gold mine?"
Abel nodded, "Yes, the estimated gold reserves are now around 40 tons."
In just a few hours, the value had increased by over thirty billion!
Daniel couldn’t help but be thrilled.
Allen, however, looked gloomy and said, "It’s a shame the gold mine is on someone else’s land. We can only hope that the owner of this land isn’t around or has left the country. Otherwise, if we start mining, we will definitely be discovered."
Daniel smiled, "So what if we’re discovered? Look at this."
He took out the land title that Sago Martin had given him and showed it to the brothersAbel and Allen stared at the document for a while, not understanding the coordinates, they were confused, "What’s this???"
Daniel rolled his eyes at the brothers, "You two, sometimes ignorance truly is a burden."
"This is the land title for the land where the gold mine is. The land is mine now."
Hearing this, Abel and Allen momentarily ignored Daniel’s scorn.
The brothers were instantly thrilled.
"Dan, you’re incredible!"
"In such a short time, how did you find the owner of the land and purchase it?"
Daniel briefly recounted his encounter, earning an admiring look from the brothers.
"Damn!"
"Damn, that’s awesome!"
"Under normal circumstances, the landowner might not want to sell.
But then this happened, you coincidentally saved his life, and instead of selling, he just gave you the land. I have to say, Dan, your luck is simply unparalleled."
Abel expressed his admiration repeatedly, lost for words.
Allen, on the other hand, asked excitedly, "Dan, everything is ready. When do you plan to start mining?"
Daniel answered, "Who said I was going to start mining?"
Abel and Allen looked at Daniel in confusion.
Daniel explained, "Mining requires a significant amount of manpower, material resources, and finances, not to mention the tedious procedures. It’s too much hassle. Why not just sell it off directly and make a neat profit?"
