Chapter 1292: Chapter 644: This Reward Is A Bit Too High!

As greedy as one was for the money, that’s how much of a coward one became when getting beaten.

Henry Burke was just like that.

To avoid getting hit again, he spilled the beans on Wendell Martin’s current location without missing a single detail.

Wendell Martin had left earlier, but they split the money from the food sale equally, mainly because Cold Ice was under Henry Burke’s control. And Henry Burke had been pursuing Cold Ice relentlessly.

Elijah Hastings and his crew took Henry Burke to the hotel where Wendell Martin was staying, and when they knocked on the door, they found Wendell Martin and two local girls lying naked in bed.

When Wendell Martin saw Elijah Hastings and the others, he said with a big laugh,

"I knew you guys would find me—but I didn’t lose out, haha, I didn’t lose out... I’ve had fun with more than twenty girls over this period, it’s enough..."

However, when Elijah Hastings started dragging him out, Wendell Martin lost all his composure and cried, begging them to let him go.

"Why didn’t you do that earlier?" Douglas Cooper had no patience for such guys and kicked him, almost knocking Wendell Martin out cold.

"Douglas, don’t kick him to death, let’s take him away first," Elijah Hastings said. "We need to interrogate him thoroughly to see if we can make up for the boss’s losses."

Leaving the hotel, Elijah Hastings and the others didn’t immediately contact Sean Knight, but instead found a quiet place and began interrogating the two men.

Mainly about the exact locations of the people who contacted them and other details, as well as the money they earned from selling the food.

After Elijah Hastings and company left, Sean Knight switched up his appearance and casually strolled toward the massive ship.

He was confident that if those Jewish people and Japanese were planning to smuggle out this food and resell it, then there would definitely be their men on the ship.

As expected, as Sean Knight neared the ship, he spotted the security personnel at the side of the vessel.

Getting closer, one of the officers holding a baton became alert. After asking Sean Knight a question, which he did not understand—this was a local.

Sean Knight confused him with an Illusion Skill and then boarded the ship.

The cargo ship was huge and tall, yet there were not many bustling people on top.

Now with clear weather, Sean Knight saw the cargo hold’s deck was uncovered, and the food was being aired out directly on top, with many pigeons swiftly feasting on the wheat.

As Sean Knight approached, the pigeons immediately took flight.

Sean Knight headed toward the captain’s room, then overheard someone speaking inside.

"...Supplies are almost ready, and the crew is returning; we can set sail on time tonight..."

Sean Knight activated his sky eye and saw a man in uniform making a phone call inside.

Sean Knight couldn’t understand the insignia on the man’s clothes but figured he must be the captain.

Since he spoke English, what followed would be straightforward.

After the captain finished the phone call, Sean Knight arrived at the entrance.

As the captain opened the door about to step out, he was met with Sean Knight’s gaze.

Sean Knight used his Illusion Skill, and after the captain struggled briefly, his eyes grew foggy.

Not a very strong will after all.

Sean Knight first asked questions of lesser importance:

"Where is the ship headed?"

"Tokyo of Wa State."

Just as expected!

"Where are the people who chartered the ship?"

"At the Harbour Hotel."

"Are they getting on the ship?"

"One person will board the ship."

"What about the others?"

"Some will be on other ships, the rest I don’t know..."

The captain appeared to struggle with his expression, so Sean Knight immediately intensified the control of his Illusion Skill before continuing:

"How many ships are there in total, and how much grain?"

The captain answered more comfortably:

"Eleven ships, 2.1 million tons of grain..."

That’s a hell of a lot!

Sean Knight now understood that these guys had virtually swept up all the grain in the area!

This amount of grain might not seem much worldwide, but with Ukraine’s granaries running empty, global grain prices were fluctuating, and at such a critical time, this grain could easily stir even bigger fluctuations!

This grain, he had to keep in his own hands!

If they dared to meddle with his affairs, then they had better be prepared to incur losses!

Sean Knight planned to make sure these guys lost even their shorts!

After asking some more questions, Sean Knight let the captain go. He didn’t know how Elijah Hastings and his team were doing, but for this matter, Sean Knight decided to handle it himself.

Just to be on the safe side, after getting off the ship, Sean Knight went to another cargo ship. After controlling the captain and receiving the same information,

the location of those people hadn’t changed, but the person contacting this captain was staying in another room in that same hotel.

After finding the third captain, Sean Knight left the ship, hailed a taxi, and quickly headed to the hotel.

At the reception, after waiting for the guest in front to finish the procedures, Sean Knight approached the beautiful receptionist and used his Illusion Skill on her.

The compliant receptionist pulled out the hotel’s spare card.

Picking and choosing, Sean Knight took a card and went upstairs.

The hotel’s security forces were strong, with security personnel checking room cards on each floor; without a room card, you would be expelled.

With such security, Sean Knight felt more at ease.

These people were staying here for safety and thus wouldn’t be too alert in their rooms.

The first room belonged to a Japanese man. Sean Knight opened his sky eye outside the room and saw that the Japanese was interacting with a local girl in bed. Not minding the sight, he directly swiped open the door and entered.

As the girl screamed, the Japanese man reacted quickly, reaching under the pillow where there was a pistol!
