Since Alex read the conditions of searching the treasures and the difficulties that the system crates deliberately, so that he had difficulties for searching the treasures. When he came at first to the school, he thought that he could find suitable people that could help him.
Once he hears that they had to create a company that invests, he got an idea.
"So, what if we not invest in finances but something else? Something more exciting that could bring us more profits and that will mark us in the history?" Asked Alex with a mysterious ton. He wanted to make them curious and then tell them what he wanted.
All the others listened to Alex and then nodded and waited for Alex to tell them what. They all were young and had dreams and also wanted to have adventures. But thanks to their background, they had a strict way of life and they would not do anything else. But if they could have adventures and also complete the quest of the school, then they would be more than happy.
They all waited with curiosity on their face written and anticipated that what he was going to say was interesting.
"What if we found a company that specialize to finance all types of hunts of treasures of all types? We will offer our money to all treasure hunters and we will also accompany them and give them clues about the treasures. For this, we will have a big portion of the treasures for us all."
When Alex finished talking, all the others looked at him strangely as if he were an idiot or similar.
"Alex, how can we guarantee that they will find the treasures or even if the treasures exist at first place? And it will also take a lot of time and we have also to think about the laws that says that every treasure found in the territory of that country, will belong to the country?" Asked Maria as the art expert in the group and also the one that has a lot of expertise in this field.
Alex smiled and said: "We will force the country to give us a portion of the treasure and make them sign a contract. They will want for sure to have those treasures and they will pay the price for having them."
Christian was the one that spoke this time, because he knew the best about politics: "We have nothing that can help us force them to do so. We cannot use our families connection for this, so it will be almost impossible."
"No, they will sign. I have my ways and I also can make pressure on them; you only have to negotiate the best part for us, and I will do the rest."
Maria spoke again: "You said that we will help them with clues and indications to find the treasures, But the question is how? If they did not find anything in years of investigation then, we cannot do something to help them."
"This is not a problem at all, ask me about a treasure and its ubication."
Valentine asked this time when she heard him saying that she rarely spoke, but this time she was the first to jump to ask: "Where are the twelve animals of the zodiac?"
Alex smiled after hearing this question. He knew this treasure from 1750 and it was a national treasure of china. But unfortunately, after 1800 they were stolen and not all of them were recuperated. Alex loved this treasures, because even being young it was still full with history and the proud of a nation. The twelve statues represented the twelve-zodiac animal: the rat, the tiger, the dragon, the horse, the monkey and the dog, the ox, the rabbit, the snake, the ram, the rooster, and the wild boar.
He quickly checked the system and found it quickly, but surprisingly, there were three results.
"Weren't the twelve animals of the zodiac made from bronze, why does here that there are silver and golden ones too?" Alex thought after seeing the results.
He looked at first at the bronze ones and three statues that were missed appeared to be in Europe and in America too. Alex zoomed at the one in America and found out that the statue was in an office in NY. He looked were precisely and then his eyes widened. He then looked up and said: "I do not know how to say this, but one of the missed statues is right now in the office of James father."
All of them looked at James suddenly. The poor James had no idea about any Chinese statues, he also did not know anything.
"Does your father own a statue in the shape of an animal?" Asked Valentine.
"We own a lot of statues, that even I do not know how many. My father has indeed a few small statues in his office, but I have no idea which one you are talking about." Replied James defensively.
"Alex, do you know which one?" Asked Valentine again.
"Yes, it is the dragon statue." Replied Alex.
Valentine was in shock when she heard that it was the dragon head statue, then it was the one with the most meaning for the Chinese, then it represented the Chinese dragon and the arrogance of a powerful being.
"James, can you ask your father about it? Please!" said Valentine.
"Yeah, I think." He took his phone out and called his father on the spot. And then he spoke for a few minutes and then he hung up. After he hung up, he saw Alex in the face and asked: "how the hell did you know about the ubication of the dragon head? My father told me, that this statue is in a safe and nobody saw it in the last 50 years."
"I told you, that I know a lot. Do you believe me now? Think about being the first to find El Dorado or Atlantis or even the Lost treasure of King Salomon? You will be recorded in the history and the profits we will get, will be more than imaginable."
