Chapter 397: Chapter 293: Later, Settling Accounts After Autumn!_2

The three of them all agreed, and went to rest.

The second day, after having breakfast at the hotel, they went to find Oliver Brooks and started buying supplies separately.

Sean Knight’s main task was to rent a boat at the port.

He and Oliver Brooks went to the port, where Oliver took him to a pier and pointed at those boats, saying:

"These boats can all be rented, and the prices are not too expensive."

Sean Knight frowned.

These boats were all motorboats, and some were even sailboats!

These are fishing boats!

He turned his head and looked at Oliver Brooks, asking:

"Mr. Brooks, do you know anything about me?"

"I know a little bit." Oliver Brooks didn’t understand why Sean was asking this question, could it be to make me flatter you?

However, since Sean asked, he said:

"I know you started with container auctions, then began treasure hunting, and you are quite famous in the industry."

"Do you know? I have some wealth too. To ask me to rent such a boat, don’t I deserve a little face?"

Sean was actually just joking.

As a commoner with merely a bicycle and a bald tractor in his life, this boat looks pretty good, so what’s wrong with renting it?

However, he found that Oliver Brooks had probably lost his confidence due to previous incidents, so he needed to boost Oliver’s confidence!

It took Oliver a while to understand Sean’s meaning, so he gratefully smiled, saying:

"In the beginning, let’s save some money. Because I can’t guarantee that we will find the treasure, I am just drawing circles, and you are the professional in treasure hunting.

So I dare not waste your money."

This attitude was much better, but Sean smiled and said:

"After all, we will be living on the sea for a month. There’s no need to be too hard on ourselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone called out to Oliver Brooks:

"Old Oliver, are you back again? Which fool did you scam to pay for you this time?"

That person spoke the local dialect, taking advantage of Sean’s inability to understand, but he wasn’t afraid of Sean.

"Andie is in school, don’t talk nonsense! This is a famous professional treasure hunter from China! I didn’t scam him!"

Oliver Brooks quickly defended Sean.

Although he knew that Sean couldn’t speak the local language, if this guy said it in a different language, wouldn’t his own reputation be ruined?

Then he immediately explained to Sean:

"This person is called Andie in school. He’s the owner of that yellow motorboat. We can’t rent his boat; it’s not good."

Andie in school?

What kind of weird name is that?

Sean looked at the short, dark-skinned Andie who looked like a big monkey, and was confused about how his parents named him.

Seeing Sean’s expression, Oliver understood and continued explaining:

"Our local people have unique names, such as his name, as well as names like Merry Christmas, D, Good Boy... "

Sean felt that his horizons had been broadened!

When that person saw that he couldn’t scare off Oliver Brooks, and that Sean didn’t pay attention to him, he anxiously raised his voice, saying:

"Boat, cheap! Cheap!"

His English vocabulary was limited and his accent was a mess, but Sean understood him.

Sean glanced at the boat Oliver had pointed to and shook his head.

The boat was too old, rust-streaked and, looking through Sky Eye, there were even many tiny seams leaking water below.

This kind of boat was like porcelain, unable to withstand big waves, and the kind that would leak water upon contact.

He didn’t dare take it.

Ignoring Andie in school, Sean asked Oliver Brooks:

"Is there a boat more like a yacht? A bit bigger, more expensive is no problem. We’ll stay on the boat for a month, so it’d be better for it to be more comfortable."

Oliver Brooks thought, it’s your money, and if you’re willing to spend it, then spend it. Anyway, I’ve already given my reminder, and if you’re rich, just do whatever you want.

He led Sean Knight to another pier, which angered Andie:

"Oliver, what are you doing? Aren’t you going to rent this boat? Think about it – three months ago, you begged to rent mine!"

Oliver didn’t turn back and just left a sentence behind:

"You didn’t rent it to me, then! It was so expensive... I’m not renting yours today! Let your broken boat rust away!"

Andie stood there, stunned for a while before reacting:

"What’s gotten into Oliver? Why did he suddenly become so confident? He wasn’t like this before, right? Even if he didn’t rent my boat, he would at least be polite to me..."

Other boat owners ridiculed him nearby:

"Do you think Oliver respected you before? That’s because he had no choice! Even if he didn’t rent your boat, he might need it later. After all, he had no money!

But now things have changed; he must have found a rich partner – otherwise, why wouldn’t he rent a boat here? Even if he didn’t rent your broken boat, he should rent one of ours! Our boats are way better than yours!

But you see, that young man obviously didn’t like our boats. I bet they went to the yacht area!"

"No way! There’s no possibility that beggar-like Oliver can find a rich partner!" Andie obviously doesn’t believe that Oliver is that lucky. Among these boat owners, he was the worst off, and he could only ridicule Oliver; he didn’t want to see Oliver prosper!

Then he stressed again:

"My boat is not a broken boat! Not a broken boat!"

The other boat owners laughed at his hysteria.

Such a change of pace wasn’t bad in their dull lives.

Sean Knight didn’t care about what those people thought. He half-urged Oliver to the yacht area and found the boats there much more upscale.

Although about two-thirds of the yachts had obvious signs of use, and there were even some old yachts present, they were clearly better than the boats they saw earlier.

"The rent for these boats isn’t low!" Oliver emphasized again.

However, his voice was low, and he obviously lacked confidence.

Fearing that Sean would misunderstand, he hurriedly explained:

"What I meant was, you can rent a better boat from those earlier and save the money for other equipment."

Sean waved his hand:

"No need. I didn’t like those boats; they were almost all fishing boats, which aren’t necessary. When we can enjoy ourselves, we shouldn’t be too hard on ourselves."

He pointed to a seemingly brand-new super yacht and asked:

"What about that one?"

"That... no, no, no, we don’t need that boat, it’s too expensive, and it’s not necessary!"

Oliver looked at the yacht Sean was pointing to, it was at least 50 meters long, had a very sci-fi design, three floors, a deck, and rooftop – it looked very comfortable.

"Mr. Knight, that super yacht needs at least seven or eight people to operate, and that’s just the staff. We’re only a few people, it’s really not necessary... "

"Alright." Sean felt a bit disappointed and shifted his gaze to a smaller yacht.

As he looked, he asked, "Oliver, can you drive a yacht?"

"I know a little bit." Oliver answered honestly, "But I’m not an expert. I’ve worked on yachts before."

Sean didn’t expect Oliver to have such a rich experience.

However, thinking about how his ancestors were once wealthy, and now he had become like this, was a bit sad.

Now Oliver must be taking a desperate gamble, right?

Sean thought it better to consider Oliver’s feelings, so he pointed to a 20-meter long yacht and said:

"How about this one? How many people do you think it needs to be operated?"

"This is a China-made Starfish Super Yacht," Oliver really knew about this one, "It’s best with two or three people, but one person can operate it if necessary."

"Then let’s go with this one!" Sean smiled, "The few of us will have plenty of room."

Afterward, he clapped his hands and was about to go ask when he saw a familiar figure, surrounded by a few people, heading towards the super yacht they looked at earlier.

Several beautiful girls accompanied them, giggling.

Sean’s eyes narrowed.
