Chapter 317: Chapter 254: Unexpected Clue_2

"Alright, Elijah, that’s enough. I think Douglas has learned his lesson." Sean spoke up, "Just be mindful in the future."

Hearing Sean’s voice, Elijah knew the effect had kicked in and immediately said:

"So there you have it, Douglas. As the boss said, we’ll put past matters behind us. If anything like this happens again, you’re out!"

Douglas lifted his head, his face full of shame:

"Boss, Captain Hastings, I understand. I won’t say much more, from now on you’ll see my actions speak!"

Hearing him say this, Sean and Elijah both chuckled.

Seems legitimate enough.

And so, the matter was put to rest.

Sean continued:

"As for the bonus for this trip..."

"Boss, don’t bring up the bonus, we wouldn’t have the face to accept it." Elijah interrupted Sean’s speech, "Where are we going next?"

Sean didn’t mention where they were going when he woke the three of them up early to check out and leave.

"We’re heading to New York. Joanna has got hold of a clue to a treasure. We should take a look."

"A treasure clue?" Elijah and Douglas exchanged glances, both looking excited.

Firstly, men naturally tend to take an interest in adventure.

Secondly, ever since joining Sean, they had always been well treated by him after any treasure hunt.

Therefore, the three were very enthusiastic about going on a treasure hunt with Sean.

The car was returned to the Knight Family, and the four took a flight to New York.

As soon as they left the airport, Sean saw Joanna.

She instantly plunged into Sean’s arms, holding him tight for a long time.

She missed him so much.

Elijah and the others politely steered their luggage away.

After a while, Joanna finally let go of Sean and whispered:

"I really missed you. You were away for so long this time...only then did I realize how much I love you..."

Touched by her heartfelt words, Sean once more held Joanna close and kissed her passionately.

If it weren’t for the growing murmur from the surrounding passengers, the couple might have continued kissing forever.

When they finally parted, Joanna was suddenly shy, burying her face in Sean’s chest.

Sean straightforwardly scooped up Joanna and carried her off.

Elijah drove Sean and Joanna to the villa, then left with the others.

Once Sean and Joanna had entered the new villa and shut the door, they were instantly locked in a passionate embrace.

An exciting battle was initiated at that very moment!

That day, the battlefield from the living room to the sofa and then to the bed. The on-off warfare lasted until the following day.

The intermittent nature was mainly due to Joanna’s lacking strength. Sean had to stop to let her rest.

Even till noon the next day, Joanna had yet to recover.

However, the sweet pleasure left her wanting more.

"I’ve been working out these past few days, hoping to keep up with your rhythm. I didn’t expect... you’ve become even more formidable!"

She wanted to stay in Sean’s arms, not wishing to move at all.

Sean, however, was pent-up. Plus, Aphrodite had been intentionally or unintentionally stirring up ambiguity, which got him riled up.

Now, he hasn’t quite vented all of his fire yet.

"Hehe," Sean only chuckled at Joanna’s words.

Suddenly, he felt it was time to give Joanna some extra energy.

Otherwise, it would be a prolonged ordeal for both--he couldn’t get satisfaction, and she was getting tired.

"Get up for a bit; I’ll get you something nice!"

Sean gently moved Joanna aside, got out of bed stark naked, left the bedroom, and returned some time later carrying the Golden Star Scepter.

"Here you go, darling, hold on to it." Sean handed the golden scepter to Joanna.

Joanna was too weak and Sean had to leave the scepter in her hand.

A burst of strange energy coursed through her body, making her feel extraordinarily comfortable!

"What is this...?"

"This is a ceremonial utensil from the Indian Temple, containing the mysterious power gained by Native Americans through thousands of years of ceremonies!" Sean explained casually, "Possessed with such power, you’ll become increasingly youthful and more energetic!"

Eternal youth is every woman’s dream. Even though Joanna was only twenty, she also hoped to stay young forever.

Many white women, even though they look pretty, have problems like large pores and freckles.

If she could maintain her youth and charm, Joanna would naturally be very willing.

Moreover, she truly felt a surge of energy entering her body, giving her refreshed spirit.

Thrilled by the magic of the whole thing and grateful for Sean’s kindness, Joanna threw herself into Sean’s arms, which naturally started off another passionately intimate affair.

Later, while having lunch, Joanna revealed to Sean where the clue had come from.

Originally, she was planning to tell him over the phone, but Sean prevented her, mainly fearing that the phone could be tapped.

"Actually, my father found the clue." Joanna explained briefly, "After he obtained funds from you, he set up an ocean cargo fleet and started overseas freight."

Sean didn’t expect that Robert was the one who obtained the clue.

Perhaps he was still embarrassed to face him, so he had Joanna tell him instead?

"At the time, his fleet was on a Pacific route. When passing by Hawaii, he heard from a local sailor."

"Nearby a small island, tourists diving found a large sailboat that sank during the Great Voyages period, en route from America to Malacca, bearing gold and other goods."
