Chapter 1510: Chapter 720 What a coincidence!

The yacht cut a trail through the sea surface, moving away from the reef area.

The trail on the water slowly dissipated, and the school of fish gathered again.

The sun had risen, casting sunlight over the sea, which filtered through delicate ripples into golden hues.

One hour later, a work boat arrived and stopped here, where staff members noticed that the buoy was still there, just off its original location.

Considering the waves at the location, it seemed normal that the buoy had drifted.

The work boat began to wander about nearby without finding any trace left behind.

They wondered if the yacht hadn’t come this way?

Eventually, the work boat left the area to patrol elsewhere.

After leaving the area, the yacht headed directly west, toward international waters, mainly to avoid any trouble.

Recently, the yacht had been closely monitored by work boats and other purposeful ships, so heading to international waters was the right choice.

Once on international waters, the yacht found a place to stop. By now the sun was up, and Lincoln Harrington and his party had prepared breakfast. After eating, they started to entertain themselves in various ways.

Sean Knight and Lincoln took out their fishing gear to fish, Elijah Hastings studied the topography of the nearby sea, while Douglas Cooper donned a diving suit and went underwater to look for treasure.

Although underwater diving didn’t actually take much time, only professionals knew how exhausting it could be.

It consumed not just physical and mental energy, but also strained the nerves. They would need a good rest to recover.

So during the daytime, the main activity was to relax and enjoy leisure time on the yacht.

"Let’s go," Sean suddenly reeled in his line and said to Lincoln, "There might be a storm this afternoon, we need to head to port."

A storm?

Lincoln looked up at the bright sun, puzzled, and turned to Sean.

Sean pointed to the west. Lincoln turned to look and saw a dark line on the distant horizon.

It was hard to notice unless you looked carefully.

But since Sean had mentioned it, it was time to leave.

They had caught quite a few fish, which they carried in a bucket into the kitchen. Sean informed Elijah about the approaching storm. Elijah was a bit skeptical, but after checking the satellite cloud map, his expression turned serious as he confirmed the situation.

"The storm is likely to reach these waters tonight," Elijah said. "We’ve got plenty of time to leave, but we won’t be able to head there tonight. I wonder if the underwater cave will change after the storm."

Lincoln came out of the kitchen and walked onto the deck to tug on the rope. The other end was with Douglas underwater, who was currently struggling with a big fish.

A few minutes later, Douglas surfaced, dragging a tuna with him. He leaned against the deck and removed his goggles, asking in confusion:

"What’s up? Something we need to do?"

"We’re leaving. The boss says there might be a storm this afternoon."

"A storm?" Douglas hadn’t checked the sky before pulling up the fish and then said, "Then we better hurry."

Though Douglas was a lively chap, he trusted Sean completely. As he climbed onto the deck, he began to take off his equipment, saying:

"Just in time, this tuna is enough for us to have a good meal."

"Tens of thousands of dollars, and you’re just going to eat it?" Sean came out smiling. The tuna, more than three meters long and weighing two to three hundred kilograms, could easily fetch tens of thousands of dollars if sold.

How Douglas had managed to catch the tuna underwater was a mystery.

Tunas are not easy to catch; they’re fierce!

"Let’s discuss it after we eat. We’re not short on money," Douglas replied with a grin. "Anyway, we can’t go out this afternoon or evening, so why not prepare this fish. I’ve heard people say how expensive and tasty this fish is, so let’s have a full-course fish feast today!"

The yacht set sail, turning eastward toward another harbor on the coastline.

Originally, Sean had intended to head for the fisherman port they had visited before. But reconsidering, he gave up the idea. After all, that port was too small, and there was only a fisherman village nearby, inconvenient for finding accommodations at night.

If the storm hit the port, staying on the yacht would be uncomfortable, so it was better to choose a larger port where it would be better to stay in the nearby city at night.

On their way, the yacht encountered several fishing boats that were still working. The fishermen had no intention of stopping, and Sean’s group didn’t alert them — since the fishermen fished there all year round, they would naturally be aware of the local weather conditions.

Two hours later, the yacht reached the shore, at a port that was more than twice the size of the previous fisherman port.

At the pier, not only were there fishing boats of various sizes but also cargo ships and yachts. The port featured freight yards, shopping centers, and other facilities, with a small city visible not too far away.

This was the place.

Douglas went down to negotiate with the pier staff and chose the best and most expensive berth. It was the safest but, because of the cost and its deep location within the port, it was vacant.

Knowing a storm was coming, they chose the best spot. As for money — that really wasn’t an issue.

After securing the yacht, they disembarked, completed the necessary procedures, and headed to the shopping center.

The shopping center was filled with local specialties, food, crafts, and the like.

After looking around and buying some items to give away, they went to a nearby hotel.

The hotel was old, and not many people were around, especially Chinese. Walking from the harbor to the hotel, people curiously watched them.

Even a young lad came over to greet them actively.
