Chapter 1459: Chapter 700: The Caring Lana Brown_2

"Hmm. I understand." The Brown Family where Lana Brown belonged was tangled in a mess of bad debts; such incidents were all too common for her. She nodded and said:

"It’s near a small island in the Philippines where a small city ruin was recently discovered. Or rather, the ruins of what was once a port city. It later sank due to an underwater earthquake and volcanic eruption.

Just some time ago, someone discovered it while diving. Analysis suggests it’s a city from the 16th to 17th century. However, the news hasn’t leaked out. That person later came to dive near our Big Island, and mentioned this in a casual conversation.

You know, our team members here do more than just security work, so the news was quickly gathered.

I’ve already had people go to that sea territory to conduct a survey, and now we’ve discovered that the city had sunk abruptly, so I think..."

Lana Brown didn’t finish her sentence, but Sean Knight already understood.

He smiled, wrapped his arms around Lana’s waist, and said:

"This news isn’t bad... After the New Year, I’ll come over and take a look!"

"Sure, that should be about the right time," Lana Brown said. "It’s difficult to keep such a matter completely secret. After all, you can’t control everyone who knows, so we need to act quickly.

Of course, what’s beneath is uncertain..."

"The 16th to 17th century, that was the era of The Great Voyage period. Being in the Philippines, there should be a lot of good stuff. After all, that was when trade ships and pirates from America used to gather there, and basically every port city was like a den of gold and silver.

Sean hadn’t finished, but Lana Brown already understood. A port city that suddenly plunged into the sea would inevitably contain many treasures.

Of course, in such a disaster, countless people must have been swallowed by the seawater as well.

The yacht broke through the Sea Surface, speeding forward, with the salty sea breeze brushing against the face, and seabirds circling in the air, occasionally, you could see fish jumping out. The scenery was incredibly beautiful.

Mother Carter was silent at this moment, gaping at the scenery—her family lived by the Seaside, so she was accustomed to the sea view, but this Hot Zone scenery was new to her.

In the past, living off fishing meant dealing with winds and waves and heaps of Seafood. She had never seen such exotic landscapes before.

Nearby, bikini-clad girls were laughing; some even loudly called out to the yacht.

"These girls are so bold!" After the other yacht passed, Mother Carter said to Father Carter, "But they’re very attractive. If they could become friends with Alston..."

"You’re overthinking it!" Father Carter had the sense to know his place, "It might be appropriate for Douglas, but Alston? Only you, his mother, would adore that!

"What’s wrong with Alston?" Mother Carter immediately took offense when her husband spoke poorly of their son, "Alston is filial, he’s not bad-looking, and he speaks nicely. I think he’s not one bit inferior!"

"Mom! Dad!" Douglas Cooper couldn’t help interrupting, "We’re on our boss’s boat! I brought you out to relax, not to argue here..."

Douglas Cooper had taken time off to visit Home this time, also hoping to bridge the gap with his parents. They hadn’t cut ties with each other, and he didn’t want to be too harsh.

His ability to become a soldier had much to do with his brother’s unwillingness to endure hardship, but his father also pulled strings and spent Money for his sake, which led to his success today.

Although his parents favored his brother, they at least hadn’t mistreated him; they never made him drop out of school, it was just his own poor academic performance.

So now that he had Money, he did send some back Home—of course, not too much. Giving too much could lead to trouble, especially with his brother, who would definitely cause issues if he became suddenly wealthy.

This visit was meant to be a chance to take his parents on a tour. As for his brother, Alston Cooper, he had disappeared after receiving some money from him.

He initially planned to have a happy vacation away from Home for up to a month, but just two days on the island led to arguments, nearly spoiling his plans.

If they were At Home, Mother Carter would have immediately scolded Douglas Cooper upon hearing his remark, but now, being overseas on Sean Knight’s yacht, she silenced herself after his comment.

She was looking forward to enjoying her time and later boasting to the village gossips back Home.

Many people in her village had been to Sanya and North Sea and would come back bragging about it. Mother Carter had always been envious.

Now that her son had taken her abroad, naturally, she would have even more to talk about.

The yacht circled the island, Sean saw steady mining operations in two areas, and construction on Big Island was progressing, while the smaller island was dotted with various equipment. However, the beach was already filled with tourists enjoying themselves.

After several hours, the yacht circled back, and by the time it returned, the sky had darkened.

Sean Knight treated the Cooper family to a meal before returning to his own Villa.

Douglas Cooper took his parents to his Villa—he didn’t tell them it was his, just that it was arranged by the boss.

The Villa was exquisitely decorated, with all the necessary facilities. Mother Carter was delighted, touching and inspecting everything before suggesting:

"Next year when we’re free, we should bring Alston here to enjoy all this!"

Douglas Cooper pursed his lips and said nothing.

After spending three days on the island with his parents, Douglas Cooper returned Home.

Sean Knight left Big Island by airplane on the 20th of the last lunar month and returned to West Province.
