A group of people almost ran to the back of the main hall.
The leader was named Arthur Shermer, who was a manager of a small factory before boarding the cargo ship. He was sued for embezzlement.
After pulling some connections and paying back the money, he was exempted from prosecution, but he lost his job and his reputation was ruined in the industry.
With no other choice, he was tricked into joining this cargo ship.
After being rescued, Arthur Shermer leveraged his ability to deceive people and gathered quite a few people around him.
Just now, they intended to fight for their own interests, at least to ensure that they could eat enough, but when they heard the news that there was a cellar and treasure chest found behind the main hall, Arthur Shermer's mind immediately became active.
He gathered around more than a dozen people following him and headed towards the main hall.
