Chapter 1461: Chapter 701: Overseeing Dragon and Local Snake

On the calm sea surface, a super-sized luxury yacht swiftly made its way toward its destination, leaving a trail of waves behind it.

Two smaller yachts followed in the distance.

Since the target sea territory lay within the Philippines, which had already exceeded the scope of Sean Knight’s Big Island and was not international waters, even though he had a 052D and a 022 within his sphere of influence, he couldn’t bring them over... Should he decide to bring them, he feared it might spark a military alarm for the Philippines.

Of course, there was no lack of precautions on the yacht. Two team members were operating a strange machine.

"This unmanned missile launcher can launch twelve cruise missiles or twelve drones at once. Of course, there’s no problem in using a combination of both,"

Lincoln Harrington introduced to Sean Knight:

"It might not be enough against a warship, but it’s surely effective against ordinary merchant ships, yachts, or smaller marine patrol boats."

Sean Knight nodded. He was after nothing more than personal protection.

After all, once you are in someone else’s sea territory, especially as a Chinese person, those guys respect force and not virtue, and without preparations, the other side might treat him like a pushover.

He certainly didn’t like being squeezed by others!

He had been powerless and focused on earning money in the past, hence he needed to be sneakily opportunistic. Now, things were different.

Although his sphere of influence wasn’t vast, it was still stronger than some small countries.

Even though he was going to another country’s sea territory, he had no intention of lying low.

If you act normally, then I’ll follow the rules. But if you’re going to push your luck, don’t blame me for not being polite.

When Sean Knight visited other countries, he traveled on his own airplane and took the VIP passage, so he hardly ever encountered any messy situations.

But he had heard about the troubles his team members or tourists experienced during land inspections in some small Southeast Asian countries, where they often treated Chinese people unfairly.

The yacht was fast, and Sean Knight witnessed the launching of drones from the missile launcher, and through the display, the images sent back from the drones flying thousands of meters high were extremely clear. He nodded in satisfaction.

It’s essentially a civilian version of an integrated reconnaissance and strike system.

It was said that domestically, even active phased array radar systems had been used for civilian purposes like hunting wild boars. With this major industrial technology overview, Sean Knight naturally benefited as well.

Lana Brown was originally planning to come with Sean Knight, but firstly, she found out she was pregnant after the New Year’s checkup and didn’t dare travel far. Secondly, there were a lot of things to handle on the island, especially construction and tourism management which she had to oversee, so she stayed on the Big Island and didn’t come over.

Of course, Sean Knight knew that for Lana Brown, the former reason was most important.

Since he wasn’t often on the island, Lana Brown was looking for an emotional anchor, and a child naturally became the best bond.

The yacht was huge and luxurious, drawing the attention of the nearby fishing boats.

However, the nearby sea area didn’t have any remarkable scenery, or rather they were all similar, so the yacht didn’t stop and continued on its way to the destination.

According to the documents Lana Brown researched, this place used to be a big island until a submarine earthquake and volcanic eruption turned it into a small island along with some reefs.

Because of this catastrophe, the rulers at the time abandoned it, as there were plenty of other islands nearby suitable for constructing ports.

When Sean Knight and his team reached their destination, they found several boats anchored nearby.

Upon observation, there were fishing boats, yachts, and workboats.

He frowned slightly, as it was evident that someone had already begun operations underwater.

He wasn’t very disappointed though; after all, such information couldn’t be completely contained.

An old port city, vast in area. Now, the divers were there, and naturally, whoever found something would claim it.

"Boss, what should we do?" Douglas Cooper knew this wasn’t their home ground, but with a fleet of three yachts and over twenty team members along with them, plus those from the Aquatic Dragon Team, they were not afraid of anyone.

Of course, the reason he was so confident was the presence of several members of the Aquatic Dragon Team, who were masters in diving, and the security of cruise missiles on the sea surface, so they truly weren’t afraid.

"Take a round and observe the situation on the seafloor. Then, we’ll find a suitable location to anchor," Sean Knight directed.

Since everyone’s goal was the same, then it was about who could secure a better spot.

The seawater here wasn’t deep, barely thirty to forty meters, which didn’t hinder his Sky Eye at all, so choosing a good spot was crucial.

The yacht did not stop but slowed down. Having received Sean Knight’s order, it immediately began to circle above the sea surface.

Sean Knight stayed directly in the driver’s cockpit, with Sky Eye looking forward and downwards, occasionally reminding the crew member driving the yacht which direction to turn.

The yacht’s arrival immediately drew the attention of the other boats — Sean Knight could tell that the so-called fishing boats anchored nearby were just a front for diving and salvaging items.

As he passed by several boats nearby, Sean Knight had already seen that the boats had more or less achieved their retrieval goals.

Some had bronze ware, some had porcelain, and others had even managed to find a small quantity of golden coins and silverware.

The underwater region was dug up in a mess, clearly indicating that these people weren’t there for archaeology, but were maximizing their use of tools for the greatest profit.

Sean Knight knew he was the same.

Halfway through the round, a workboat ahead suddenly sent a signal, asking Sean Knight’s yacht to cease movement and leave the area.
