Chapter 398: Chapter 294: Treasures at the bottom of the sea

At the center of that group was the swindler that Douglas Cooper had seen during dinner yesterday.

After returning to the hotel, Sean Knight searched for news about the swindler and found him to be extremely arrogant.

The main reason he was able to recognize him was that he found the guy’s photo.

Although there wasn’t much news on him, his photo was still easy to find.

He had a mild-mannered face and a trustworthy smile, but Sean never imagined that he was such a ruthless person.

At that moment, the people around him were both locals and Chinese, all the girls had different skin tones and great figures, and they were all very generous.

The swindler, named Edward Tomlinson, climbed onto the super-luxury yacht that Sean had admired earlier, and Sean immediately started listening with concentration.

"Mr. Bennett, how long do you plan to stay out at sea this time?"

Edward Tomlinson laughed, "I’ll stay as long as I can! I don’t have anything else to do, and the beautiful girls are so enthusiastic. I naturally want to stay longer."

"Mr. Edward, I heard that your family is in China, why don’t you bring them out?"

"I’ve divorced my wife, and I left the children behind. Why would I bring them out? I’ve already found a new lover, and I don’t want to disturb their lives."

"Oh... I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked... my apologies."

"It’s fine; I don’t care. I didn’t even leave them a penny. I know that if I left them money, many people would bother them, and they would be so annoyed... Letting them have a peaceful life is my greatest kindness to them."

"Hahaha, those investors certainly won’t think that way..."

"It’s not my fault. Who told them to be greedy? I’m just teaching them a lesson. Otherwise, they’ll continue to suffer..."\

...

For the first time, Sean heard someone describing their shamelessness in such a high-end way.

The yacht quickly left the harbor, and Sean, along with Oliver Brooks, rented the Starfish yacht.

They called Elijah Hastings and others to quickly bring the purchased items over.

The yacht was only a year old, quite new, and hardly showed any signs of use.

According to the ship owner, the yacht was taken as a debt collateral. The original owner went bankrupt before even using it and had no choice but to defray the debt with the yacht.

But this kind of yacht had high rental fees, ordinary people couldn’t afford it, and more prominent figures preferred luxury yachts, so it was not very popular with those in-between, and not rented out much.

Elijah Hastings and others were also somewhat surprised when they saw the yacht rented by Sean and Oliver; they originally thought a fishing boat could be used as a salvage ship if there was no professional one.

They didn’t expect a luxury yacht.

However, everyone was quite happy about it.

"The three of you can learn together," Sean said, "Oliver will be responsible for driving, but all three of you must learn, and I will too. When we arrive at our destination, we can take turns."

Since one person could drive the yacht, Sean must learn as well. Who knows, he might buy one someday and at least be able to drive it himself?

Because Oliver had no family, there was no need for any farewell, and they moved their things onto the yacht, then directly set sail and left.

Oliver didn’t mention their specific destination while sailing, and Sean didn’t ask either.

He wasn’t afraid of Oliver harming him—there was no need for that.

When they set sail, they could still see many fishing boats, cruise ships, and cargo ships.

As they sailed further out to sea, the shadows of the surrounding ships disappeared.

It must be said that the seawater environment here was indeed better. After sailing at full speed for half a day, Sean occasionally saw ships passing by and guessed that this was a waterway.

The yacht’s speed dropped.

Without waiting for Sean and the others to ask, Oliver Brooks, who was driving, shouted:

"Let’s start searching from here!"

Sean didn’t expect them to stop here, but seeing the sun almost setting, he thought that it wasn’t the time for underwater search.

Actually, along the way, Sean sensed a few sunken ships. However, due to the fast speed of the yacht, even with the Sky Eye open, he could only see the sunken ships, and before he could see the things inside, they were gone in a flash.

The water depth was mostly between ten to several tens of meters, and even a few meters deep nearby. If they really wanted to dive to salvage something, it wasn’t impossible.

After dropping anchor, the yacht gradually stopped, and Sean opened the Sky Eye to take a look around.

The water here was about thirty to forty meters deep, neither too deep nor too shallow.

But ordinary people definitely couldn’t dive this deep.

Considering that the boat was sunk by a warship, it was normal for it to be a bit deeper.

The Sky Eye scan found many coral reefs underwater, clean water, and plenty of small fish, but there were no traces of sunken ships nearby.

Sean decided not to get off the boat. He took a fishing rod from the cabin and said:

"Who’s planning to dive? Practice your diving skills while searching for a sunken ship, but if you don’t find one, you can catch lobsters and crabs."

Elijah Hastings and the others laughed and said that they all wanted to dive.

Oliver said:

"I’ll go down and take a look, too."

There were only three diving suits. Since Oliver wanted to go, Lincoln Harrington had to stay on the boat.

Everyone had eaten something midway, so they weren’t hungry now. However, Douglas Cooper confidently held the fishing gun, saying that he must catch something, be it from a sunken ship or seafood!

Sean sat on the deck and started fishing.

This time, he didn’t use Sky Eye and fished casually. After a while, he hadn’t caught a single fish, but Douglas Cooper surfaced beside the boat, holding a huge crab in his hand!
