Chapter 1289: Chapter 643: Someone Betrayed Us!

Sean Knight had originally planned to go directly to America to deal with another warehouse of the Davena family, but unexpectedly, Robert notified him that his Brazilian grain stock was being targeted.

Was this tolerable?

After spending 100,000 dollars on intelligence fees, Sean Knight knew of the opponent’s existence—

This time, it was Japan and certain shameless entities that had teamed up.

The reason was simple; the war between Russia and Ukraine had prevented the European Granary from producing food, and they were too dependent, while in Brazil, Japan had leased a large quantity of farmland to supply their nationals.

Moreover, it was said that in Brazil, Japan had immigrated over 2 million people, making them a major consumer of food.

So, they targeted the grain on Sean Knight’s land—after all, his land was extensive and had significant influence.

Although grain was not worth much money, it also depended on the time.

If the grain could be transported to those war-torn regions, many might be willing to pay multiple times more for it.

And those people, a nation historically accustomed to hoarding, were too skilled at this kind of activity.

After receiving the news, Sean Knight immediately made a phone call and summoned Elijah Hastings and the others.

At that time, Elijah Hastings was in the domestic region, Lincoln Harrington in Africa, and Douglas Cooper on Big Island. Logically, Elijah Hastings was the closest, but the quickest to return was Douglas Cooper.

Because there was a direct flight.

A few hours after Douglas Cooper arrived, Elijah Hastings also reached Sean Knight’s villa.

And a day later, Lincoln Harrington flew back.

"I’m sorry to call you back at this time," Sean Knight apologized. "However, there might be issues with the grain in Brazil, someone is trying to cause trouble, and I want to take you guys there to settle it."

"Boss, you are too polite," Douglas Cooper said with a smile. "Considering our current treatment, not to mention being at your beck and call, it would only be right for us to stand by your side 24 hours a day."

Knowing Douglas Cooper was joking, but Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington both still nodded with a smile.

"Well then, I won’t mention the niceties," Sean Knight also knew it was unnecessary to say so much to the three of them, and continued:

"The information I have now is that someone, under the guise of buying grain, wants to steal the grain in Brazil. It involves Japan and some businessmen from that recently restless nation."

"Then we certainly can’t let them succeed," said Douglas Cooper immediately upon hearing Sean mention it. "We need to hit them hard!"

"That’s what I’m thinking," Sean Knight nodded. "We have to ensure they don’t come out ahead. We still don’t know the specifics right now, so this time, let’s go there quietly, get a clear picture first, and then plan accordingly."

With that explanation, Elijah and the others generally understood.

The always cautious Lincoln Harrington asked:

"Boss, do you think there might be a mole inside our company there? Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to succeed, right?"

Sean Knight nodded and said, "I have that suspicion too, but we’ll only know after we get there and assess the situation."

"That’s true. After all, the situation in Brazil is different from Afghanistan and the Middle East," Elijah also added:

"The Middle East has the Crown Prince and our heavy composite brigade, and Afghanistan is under the watch of Elder Hassan. Only in Brazil, we have a few professional managers, and frankly, their integrity is questionable. It wouldn’t be impossible for them to be bribed."

"The translator, Mary Powell, although working with us, is still a suspect because she wasn’t with us from the beginning," he continued.

There was another suspect, Cold Ice, but Sean Knight didn’t mention it. Without clear information, everything was speculatory.

Once the plan was settled, the four of them took a flight that day to Rio de Janeiro.

Because they did not notify the farmland’s security personnel, upon landing, the four directly bought a car and drove towards the Small Town where the farmland was located.

According to Sean Knight’s previous plan, he would build a warehouse here before the grain ripened and then directly store the grain in the warehouse to be transported later.

So if nothing had changed, the grain should still be in the warehouse.

Of course, it might have also been transported away.

When the car arrived in Small Town, the normally quiet town was very lively. Many of the stores that had been previously closed were now reopened, and various new shops had sprung up.

Some vendors had set up stalls on the roadside, and there were quite a few people buying and selling things.

Locals, foreigners, and some security personnel were also among them.

The car made a round through the town and then headed towards the warehouse.

The warehouse was right next to the courtyard that Sean Knight and his team had taken from the Japanese.

As Sean Knight’s car drove past the warehouse, Elijah looked over and said:

"Boss, there’s at least a platoon of security personnel guarding the warehouse; the warehouse should be safe."

However, Sean Knight’s face darkened, and he remained silent!

He had been monitoring through Sky Eye and clearly saw that the grain inside the warehouse was not even half of the expected quantity!

The land Sean Knight had bought was massive, covering two to three million acres.

Each acre of land would yield at least several hundred kilograms of grain, which, by tonnage, would amount to several hundred thousand tons of grain.

Now, the warehouse contained, at most, several thousand tons, and even those were just piled at the entrance.
