Chapter 1346: Chapter 662: Who Decides Whether to Stay or Leave?

Sean Knight couldn’t bear it any longer, he stepped forward and slapped the Elderly man in the face!

The elderly man was knocked unconscious by the slap!

Seliman was shocked!

"What are you all dazing for? Get him out of here," Sean Knight exclaimed angrily, "Some people have already woken up, a little more noise, and we’ll all be trapped here!"

His words woke the team members and also made Seliman realize that the usually gentle Sean Knight was not without temper!

Sean Knight took the lead and went out; he approached the sailors who had been startled awake last time. Before he arrived, the medicine powder had already been scattered.

The few sailors who had woken up to see what was happening passed out again.

Sean Knight moved upward floor by floor, and when he reached the negative first floor, he heard the sounds of combat.

He sighed, but there was nothing he could do.

As expected, the security personnel had been alerted!

The occasional gunshot drew more people into the combat!

Sean Knight held a silenced pistol, and when he encountered active security personnel, he showed no hesitation or mercy, shooting them down directly!

In such a situation, showing mercy to the enemy was tantamount to scorning one’s own life!

Fighting his way to the deck, Sean Knight breathed a sigh of relief.

The security personnel on the deck had not woken up, and the trucks in the distance, one by one, drove away.

Not many people were left in the lower cabin; the rescue operation would almost be over in half an hour.

As long as he could get through this half an hour, the remaining matters would largely be unrelated to him.

Watching one person after another being supported out and taken away, Sean Knight suddenly felt that time was incredibly slow.

Suddenly, he noticed that lights were on upstairs where the port staff lived!

Not good!

Someone at the port had been alarmed!

It must be said, the port people were very alert, Sean Knight immediately directed a cloud of powder toward that direction!

Ordinarily, covering such a distance would be impossible.

Luckily, with the help of the sea breeze and being on a deck over fifty meters high.

The favorable wind lends its strength, lifting me to higher ground.

Sean Knight barely managed to get the cloud of powder above the building, and then—it exploded.

That was all he could do.

He saw someone coming out of the building, mobile phone in hand, walked about ten meters towards him, and then... slowly fell down.

Sean Knight then put his mind at ease.

He turned his head to see the team members still continuously moving people out.

Their movements were fast, clearly understanding the urgency of the situation.

The team members by the trucks quickly placed people down and hurried back, as they had limited manpower, it would still require some time.

Now Sean Knight regretted having brought only fifty people.

However, having more people would make it easier to get caught, and he did not want to expose this major problem now.

He could only keep a vigilant watch around him on the deck.

People on nearby ships also noticed the commotion, but Sean Knight easily dismissed them.

Finally, he saw Seliman supporting a little girl coming out; she saw Sean Knight and nodded.

Sean Knight immediately took out the Walkie-Talkie, and said,

"Everyone has been rescued, pull out!"

Soon, one team member after another appeared on the deck.

Finally, Elijah Hastings came out of the ship cabin, quickly approached Sean Knight, and said,

"Boss, we have two injuries, who have already been taken away. Everything else is normal."

"No tails?"

"None."

"Good, let’s pull out!"

All the people filed down from the giant ship, rushing towards the direction of the trucks.

The last truck drove out of the port, then disappeared on the highway.

"Your people will board at another port, then be transported to my Big Island," Sean Knight said to Seliman in the car, "When they have rested for a while, they can go back."

Seliman didn’t speak.

It was clear that she was not happy.

"Who was scolding you?" Sean Knight asked, "Such an old age, yet so lacking in sense of the bigger picture? Speaking out in that place, was she trying to get all your people killed?"

"It was... the elder." Seliman lowered her head and said, "She’s not usually like this, but this time it’s because I brought disaster to our people..."

"Even if this incident started because of you, we were there to rescue people! Is she stupid or malicious? How can such a person be an elder?" Sean Knight couldn’t believe the old woman was angry because Seliman had endangered everyone; couldn’t she see the circumstances?

"Mr. Knight, I think you might have misunderstood her..." Seliman looked up, trying to explain.

Sean Knight waved his hand and said,

"Talking to me is useless. I’m just getting paid to do a job, but because of her, this originally very smooth rescue operation ended up with two of our men injured, and it almost failed!

Now that your people have been rescued, I hope that next, you do not tell them it was us who saved them. I fear that the moment you mention it, the news might leak!"

Sean Knight’s concern was not unwarranted, and Seliman could not refute.

"I will keep it secret," Seliman affirmed, nodding vigorously. She was well aware of how much Sean Knight and his team had done for her people. If the news leaked, even inadvertently, it could cause a huge impact.

That would dishearten their benefactors.

"Furthermore, warn your people that we can save people as well as kill them. They may not know our identities, but they do know what kind of people saved them. I hope they keep quiet when they return to their place," Sean Knight said again.
