Chapter 403: Chapter 296: Another Major Discovery_2

Andie was infuriated about going back to school!

He swore secretly that he would not give up on this matter!

Since he had been at the pier for a while, he had some connections. After some inquiries, he found out that Sean Knight’s rented yacht hadn’t expired yet.

They rented it for a month, and it had only been a few days.

Moreover, they didn’t end the lease, which meant they would go there again!

So, Andie decided to stake them out!

As long as he catches both people and goods, Oliver and his team would definitely get caught. And maybe he could get some bonus money!

Sean and his team had no idea that they were being watched. They had been resting in the city for three days.

Oliver took these three days to tidy up his courtyard.

The day before they went out to sea again, Oliver invited Sean and the others to dinner.

Over these few days, the four of them were mainly playing the role of tourists. Objectively speaking, the place was not bad for tourism, without considering local customs.

However, Sean and his friends could clearly feel some strange looks.

The dinner was held in Oliver’s courtyard.

When they arrived at the courtyard, they found that a table had been set up inside - the place originally seemed quite shabby, but it had been cleaned up nicely now.

There were already five or six home-cooked dishes on the table, and Oliver was arranging chopsticks.

Seeing Sean and his friends arrive, Oliver laughed and said:

"It’s a bit simple, but I know you guys don’t mind..."

As they were talking, a woman in her thirties came out of the house with a dish in her hands.

Seeing Sean and the others, the woman shyly smiled. Then she put the dish down, and her expression became a little uneasy. She wiped her hands on her apron.

"This is my... girlfriend." Oliver introduced with a slightly red face, "Actually we... we always had this intention. Xiao Xiu, she has been waiting for me... I was just too stupid before, and I failed her... Today, I also want you all to be witnesses..."

The words weren’t clear, but all four of Sean’s friends understood.

Sean greeted with a smile:

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Good, good." The woman responded with not-so-fluent Mandarin. "I still have one more dish... You guys chat... Eat."

After saying that, she rushed back into the house.

Sean complained to Oliver:

"Mr. Brooks, you should have told us in advance. We didn’t prepare anything..."

Thinking for a bit, Sean took out two gold coins from his pocket, which was actually from the spatial realm, and handed them over:

"Take these two gold coins as a token. Consider them as gifts from us."

Oliver accepted without refusing.

The atmosphere during the meal was very pleasant. No one drank much, but they were all quite happy.

Oliver’s experiences over the years could be considered bumpy, but it had turned into a legend after he had let go. Sean’s experiences were even more legendary, and once they started talking about it, they couldn’t stop.

This also led to a delay in their departure the next day.

After boarding the boat, Oliver said to Sean:

"Mr. Knight, let’s say we have one month for this. If we don’t find it, I’ll stop searching and leave the boat.

During these days of getting along with you, I have come to terms with it. If we find it, it’s the blessing of our ancestors. If not, it means our ancestors don’t want me to find it. If we can’t find it, I’ll just open a shop with Xiao Xiu and live a plain life."

Sean laughed and said:

"Congratulations, Mr. Brooks. I think this plan will work!"

Sean felt like he had achieved some merit.

With the yacht full of fuel and supplies, they set sail once more, heading toward the distant sea.

Andie quietly followed them.

But his broken boat was much slower than the yacht, and he soon lost sight of them.

Sean and his team returned to the sunken ship’s previous location, anchored the yacht about one kilometer northwest of the original spot.

Sean didn’t get into the water, and he left the opportunity to Oliver.

Elijah and Sean stayed on the boat, Oliver was the first to dive in, followed by Lincoln and Douglas.

Sean picked up the fishing rod and started fishing.

Although Oliver had told them those words, he was much more proactive than before.

As for the outcome, Sean Knight was not sure.

After all, even with his Sky Eye, the range he could see was limited, and he couldn’t see far enough.

So he would let fate take its course.

He didn’t know how fate would treat Oliver Brooks, but it was treating him well now..

In less than an hour, he had caught several fish, one of which was a big grouper!

He was delighted!

So when Douglas Cooper came up happily holding a big crab, Sean showed off the grouper in his bucket.

Originally planning to boast about his big crab, Douglas said nothing and threw the crab on the deck before diving back into the water.

While they were enjoying themselves, Andie’s school chase was miserable.

Running at full speed all the time, his boat felt like it was falling apart!

Despite the struggle, he was unwilling to return to the harbor.

Fortunately, Sean and his crew didn’t deviate much from their route to save time and practically sailed straight from the harbor to their destination.

So Andie finally caught up with Sean and his crew.

By this time, they had changed locations twice.

Oliver Brooks had also discovered a sunken ship!

From a distance, Sean and his crew could see Andie’s boat.

However, they didn’t pay attention to it, since it was too far away and occasionally one or two fishing boats would pass by.

Their focus was on that sunken ship!

The sunken ship was even bigger than the previous one Sean had found – this was what Oliver excitedly said when he surfaced.

Douglas also backed him up:

"It’s an old-fashioned sailboat, sunken about thirty meters deep in the sea. There are no big holes visible around it. It’s probably on the side closer to the seabed when it flipped over..."

A bigger sailboat than before? Could it be a warship?

Sean guessed.

"How far away is it?" he asked.

"About 300 meters in a straight line," Oliver said as his excitement hadn’t subsided, "That direction! I’ll go down again and check it out..."

"Douglas, go with him!" Sean hurriedly said, "When Lincoln comes up later, I’ll have him go as well."

They didn’t know what was in the sunken ship; having more people would be helpful and safer.

It probably wasn’t the Brooks Family’s ship, but finding a sunken ship at the bottom of the sea was a good thing in itself.

As for the protection, this was not China’s sea territory, so Sean didn’t think anything needed to be protected.

After ten minutes, Lincoln surfaced with a broken sword in his hand. Sean took it and pointed in the direction, saying:

"Over there, 300 meters away, there’s a sunken ship. Oliver and Douglas are there; you should go over and have a look too."

Lincoln immediately dived down.

Sean picked up the broken sword and looked at it. It was just an ordinary curved knife, already rusted beyond recognition.

He threw the knife aside and waited quietly.

From afar, Andie was watching them through a telescope, feeling that something was bound to happen today!

As soon as they saw something salvaged from the sea, they would immediately call the police!

He believed that this time, those people would not be able to escape!

Half an hour later, Oliver Brooks, Douglas Cooper, and Lincoln Harrington surfaced together.

They were all holding onto the same thing - Sean was quite surprised to see it was a small cannon!

About a meter long and the thickness of a bowl, the muzzle was less than ten centimeters wide, with a cone shape, thicker at the back and thinner at the front.

It had no cannon stand left, made of copper, and completely covered in green rust. In comparison to some famous general’s cannon on China’s coastal fortresses, it was quite small.

But it should be a good find.

"It’s a warship," Oliver said disappointedly. "It was probably sunk in battle. There are a lot of soldiers’ bones inside, along with some rusted weapons... "

"There should still be some things to salvage," Douglas said. "I’ll go down again in a while to check."

Sean didn’t object; they had come this far and already found a salvageable item, so they might as well continue.

The three men dived down again, and Sean began to clean the copper cannonhead.

At this time, Elijah Hastings came over and whispered to Sean:

"Boss, there’s something off about that boat over there - it’s been stopped for too long, and just now I noticed they were watching us!"

Sean turned to look at the other boat.

With his excellent eyesight, he suddenly realized that the boat looked familiar!
