Chapter 234: Chapter 211: The Thrilling Return_2

Sean Knight suddenly hit the accelerator, and the car rushed forward. The two youths watched the approaching sports car in terror, quickly retreating without any time to warn Joanna Davis.

Joanna seemed frozen in fear, motionless.

Just when the two white youths thought a tragedy was about to happen, Sean’s car stopped in front of Joanna. The scissor-style door lifted, and Sean came out, very gentlemanly saying to Joanna:

"Beautiful lady, may I have the pleasure of inviting you for a ride?"

"Sure!" Joanna gladly agreed and even proactively gave Sean a big hug!

If it wasn’t for being in a public place, Joanna might have gone straight for a passionate kiss at this moment!

The car sped away, leaving the two white youths behind, complaining about how materialistic the girl was!

Sean took Joanna to the port and they enjoyed the sea view while feeling the breeze. When they grew tired, they sat down on a rock, with Joanna nestled in Sean’s arms, listening to his thrilling jungle adventure stories.

For fear of scaring Joanna, Sean used quite a light touch in his descriptions, but even so, she couldn’t help exclaiming in surprise when learning about man-eating flowers, carnivorous ants that could track people by scent, and heavily booby-trapped Maya sacrifice scenes.

"Sean, can you please avoid places like that in the future?" Joanna whispered pleadingly. "It’s too dangerous! I don’t want to lose you..."

Under the girl’s gentle and persuasive words, how could Sean resist?

Joanna couldn’t help but initiate a kiss with Sean.

Fortunately, the two knew they were outdoors, so they stopped at that. Otherwise, if they had gone too far, trouble would have followed.

They had lunch at the villa, where Kathy naturally knew about Joanna’s existence, and Joanna treated Kathy like an elder.

In the evening, the two naturally rolled into bed together, feeling like newlyweds after their brief reunion, especially after experiencing life-or-death excitement.

After their intimate moment, a breathless Joanna said to Sean:

"Sean, why do I feel you’ve become even stronger?"

Sean chuckled and then sounded the horn of battle once more!

As a result, Joanna couldn’t get out of bed the next day, complaining about Sean. Feeling guilty, Sean carefully served breakfast in the bedroom.

After breakfast, Joanna finally seemed to regain some energy. Sean suggested that she should rest, but Joanna insisted on going to the freight yard with him.

After Elijah Hastings left, Jason Caldwell knew that Sean had returned.

However, since Sean hadn’t come to the freight yard, Jason didn’t want to bother him.

Today, seeing Sean arrive with Joanna, Jason excitedly yelled:

"Bosuns!"

Then he hurried over.

Seeing the crowd, Sean asked:

"Is there an auction today?"

"Yes," Jason responded. "Six containers are up for auction today. Two have already been auctioned off. Bosuns, do you want to take a look?"

Seeing Joanna’s look of curiosity, Sean said:

"Sure, let’s take a look."

After a trip to the jungle, Sean felt like he had been away from this world for a long time. Even listening to Auctioneer Cook’s familiar patter, Sean felt a surprising sense of familiarity.

Cook also noticed Sean, waved a greeting, but did not interrupt his "performance." Soon, the third container was sold for 10,000 and 8,500 dollars.

This container was filled with blind boxes without any labels. Scanning the contents with his Sky Eye, Sean found sports shoes and sportswear inside, which seemed to be made in China or Southeast Asia and then sent here for sale.

These were brand-name products, and if they were not counterfeits, then the buyer of this container would probably make a profit.

"Should we bid?" Joanna asked quietly.

"We won’t. This is my business, so the bidding won’t be exciting."

Joanna thought so too.

Sean whispered to her:

"If you want to bid, we can go to other freight yards this afternoon and earn some pocket money!"

Joanna happily agreed:

"Alright!"

Sean was just about to check out the other containers when his acquaintance, Ralph Turner, came over, laughed, and said:

"Sean, long time no see. Now that you’re the boss, you don’t come to auction containers anymore."

Sean chuckled and replied,

"I’ve got other things going on, but I still enjoy auctioning containers. Where’s the auction this afternoon?"

"Besides here, there are two other places holding auctions in the afternoon." Ralph thought and said, "If you want to participate, I’ll send you the locations."

Sean could have asked Jason, but since the other party has expressed goodwill, he didn’t mind accepting the offer.

Mr. Madden waved to Sean and continued to auction the third container, while Hamilton Diaz just glanced at Sean and ignored him.

He didn’t see any other familiar faces, but he did see a Chinese face, who was introducing the container in Mandarin while holding a selfie stick, obviously live broadcasting.

Sean found the language a bit novel, but frowned when he heard the content of the conversation.

However, he was there to accompany Joanna, so he didn’t interfere anymore.

After receiving the information from Ralph, Sean and Joanna left the freight yard and went to the other two places.

At Bondi’s place, he saw Douglas Cooper working with Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington, which delighted Sean.

The three chatted while they worked, but it was mainly Douglas speaking, expressing his complaints.

Sean laughed because, although Douglas complained, he also expressed envy and how hard he had worked on his spoken language. It meant that he wanted the other two to help him and include him next time they go out.

Sean guessed that Elijah and Lincoln must have told Douglas about the trip’s gains and itinerary, making it impossible for Douglas not to be envious.

Just this trip alone was enough for Elijah and Lincoln to buy a fully-paid house and car in their hometown.

And this happened in less than a month!

How could they not be envious?

Elijah, with sharp eyes, saw Sean coming and immediately greeted him,

"Boss, Miss Joanna."

Bondi, who had already received Jason’s report, also rushed over wearing a safety helmet.

Sean looked at those little black guys wearing safety helmets and nodded. This Bondi was quite obedient.

There was hardly any remaining space in the freight yard. As soon as containers were shipped out, new ones were shipped in, making it very busy.

Bondi gave Sean an update on the freight yard situation, which had improved a lot and had become very organized.

After that, Sean waved his hand, indicating them to continue working. Douglas didn’t leave, but looked at Sean and spoke in English,

"Boss, I have been practicing my spoken English a lot. So, the next time we take action, I want you to take me with you!"

Sean smiled and said, "Alright, it seems you have practiced a lot."

Hearing Sean’s words, Douglas was overjoyed. He did a backflip on the spot, saluted Sean, and then ran to find Elijah and Lincoln.

Watching Douglas, Elijah, and Lincoln messing around, Joanna suddenly remarked,

"Their bond is really strong!"

Sean smiled and said,

"They’ve been through life and death together. In China, we have a saying that when you carry a gun together, the bond is very sincere, called the bond of life and death. This kind of bond is enviable."

Then they went to Clark Douglas’ freight yard and Sean noticed that it was not as bustling and well-managed as the previous two. Although the yard was relatively full, it felt a bit deserted.

It might have something to do with the manager’s personality.

After listening to Clark’s report, Sean found no problems, and the accounts were in good order with decent revenue, so he didn’t intervene any further.

After all, Kathy would come and check the accounts every month, and Sean was quite assured in this regard.

They then went to Seven Axes Pub to see Mr. John. He had already heard about Sean’s treasure-hunting experience from Mr. Hans, so he was not surprised to see Sean and Joanna together. Mr. John laughed and said,

"Youth is so great! Old Hans said it would take him at least a week to recover, but you took only one day and you already have your girlfriend with you - I’m really envious!"

Mr. John’s words made Joanna blush. Although he praised Sean, it was still awkward for both of them to respond.

However, Mr. John didn’t intend to tease Sean any further. He continued,

"Take a break for a while. Your journey this time is like an adventure novel! I envy you, but I also know the dangers involved. Hans said you helped him a lot, and he will send you your deserved share in a couple of days."

Sean didn’t expect Hans to act so quickly.

His main focus, however, was on the auction in the afternoon.

And he was a little excited about it!
