Chapter 1421: Chapter 687: Extreme Protection Organization

Sean Knight made an immediate decision and told Douglas Cooper:

"I’ll send a few more people over. Have them carry guns. You guys should change to a different place to stay, and don’t worry about the cost. If necessary, hire a few bodyguards to ensure your safety first!"

With that said, Douglas Cooper understood.

After hanging up the phone, Sean Knight was also somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected that digging a hole could unearth such a huge amount of cash!

It seemed that the Tantans of the past were not to be underestimated!

After giving instructions to Douglas Cooper, Sean Knight hung up the phone and heaved a sigh, then put the matter aside.

Although Douglas Cooper was lively by nature, his work had been measured and safe-focused in the past two years, no worse than Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington. Especially when he was out alone, Sean Knight was even more at ease.

Then, Viola was calling for Sean Knight, and he put all these issues behind him. At this moment, nothing else was important.

After a joyous night, early the next day, Sean Knight arrived outside the castle feeling refreshed.

Located in the jungle, the castle was surrounded by fresh air. A slightly chilly breeze blew over, immediately awakening him.

"Boss, what’re our plans for today?" Elijah Hastings came over and asked.

"Bring people, let’s go check out the fortress. Since we’ve rented it, consider it a mini treasure hunt!" said Sean Knight with a smile. "If we could find something in a ground hole, I suppose there might be something to be discovered at that fortress as well."

"There should be," Elijah Hastings nodded. "Since we have a diamond mine here, there’s no reason the fortress shouldn’t have some perks. But it’s also possible that it’s been taken by others, just like in this castle."

Sean Knight knew Elijah Hastings was subtly reminding him not to hold too high hopes, since they hadn’t found anything in the castle at that time—

Of course, Elijah Hastings didn’t know that Sean Knight had taken treasures worth millions of dollars from the castle’s back room at midnight.

Nor did he know that Sean Knight’s command for the team members to salvage diamonds in the lake was a way to hand out welfare and share wealth under a guise.

Sean Knight himself carried the belief that "unforeseen wealth should not be enjoyed alone." After all, apart from the first few episodes, most of his subsequent treasure hunts were conducted with the trio of Elijah Hastings as well as the team members.

If it were just him alone, it would likely have been impossible to be so smooth—others seeing him alone might even consider robbing him a possibility.

So the decision was made. During breakfast, Sean Knight repeated the plans to Lincoln Harrington.

"Then I’ll stay here in the castle," said Lincoln Harrington after some thought. "Someone needs to watch over the small lake. We have team members in the castle, but if anything happens, I’ll be able to handle it better from here."

It wasn’t an issue for these team members to fight battles or hunt, but when it came to accidents and emergencies, experienced personnel were needed to manage things.

Elijah Hastings and his two companions had nearly traveled the world with Sean Knight, so their experience was naturally unquestionable.

With Lincoln Harrington staying behind, Sean Knight felt assured.

So it was settled.

After breakfast, Sean Knight and Viola got ready, and Elijah Hastings had already driven the car over.

Three cars, along with Elijah Hastings’ nine team members, plus Sean Knight and Viola, eleven people in total, left the castle heading toward the fortress.

During the castle’s renovation, Sean Knight and his crew had hired workers to tidy up this road as well, so now the road leading to the highway was smoother and wider, with a big iron gate set at a strategic position.

Although the fences on both sides had not yet been erected, the carriage-way was quite high, making it impossible for cars to enter without an open gate.

Seeing the three cars coming out, the gatekeeper shouldered his gun, ready to open the gate.

The place was only about two hundred meters from the highway. As soon as the front gate was opened, a sound of cars came from the highway, and a line of seven or eight vehicles roared towards them!

By the way they were driving, they had no intention of stopping!

The driver in the lead, Elijah Hastings, decided on the spot, and stopped the car at once. Then, he lowered the car window and gestured to the gatekeeper, who immediately closed the front gate.

Not only did the gatekeeper close the big gate, but he also locked it. Then, together with another team member, gun in hand, they went on alert!

These cars clearly had no good intentions!

The leading car, a heavy-duty pickup truck with added counterweights at the front, wasn’t slowing down at all; it seemed poised to charge straight for the front gate.

They were trying to ram through!

The two team members directly took a crouch, aimed their guns, and targeted the pickup truck’s crucial parts.

Elijah Hastings commanded the cars to reverse. His primary concern at the moment was the safety of Sean Knight and the others—meanwhile, several team members had already gotten out of the cars, guns ready, and formed a tactical formation beside the two gatekeepers.

The pickup truck driver hesitated. There was less than fifty meters to go—stop or not stop?

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The gatekeeper made the decision for him!

A short burst of fire hit the front of the pickup truck.

This was a warning!

The pickup driver, who had thought about gambling on a chance, immediately realized the other side was serious about shooting.

Especially when he saw a team member holding a grenade launcher—the automatic, revolving kind!

One shot from that thing could blow up the pickup, along with the people inside!

The pickup driver slammed on the brakes, managing to stop the truck less than twenty meters from the gate!

The cars behind couldn’t brake in time and crashed into the front one.
