Chapter 404: Chapter 297: A Counter Trap?

Once he noticed, Sean Knight immediately started paying attention.

He didn’t blatantly look over, but switched positions with Elijah Hastings.

Elijah stayed on deck fishing and waiting for Lincoln Harrington and the others to come up, while Sean went to the cockpit and secretly checked out the boat through a telescope.

Then he spotted Andie, the sneaky local ship owner, observing them in silence!

Sean recognized the scoundrel at first glance as he was observing them with a telescope.

Sean didn’t believe for a second that he was just there to fish!

At that moment, Sean immediately thought of Mr. Spencer

Could this guy be hired by Mr. Spencer to spy on them?

However, Sean thought that this guy was definitely up to no good!

Considering the nature of this country’s authorities, Sean believed that if Andie hadn’t been sent, they’d probably have been targeted by Oliver Brooks and the others!

Sean put down the telescope, thinking about it in his mind, this matter needed to be weighed carefully!

At that time, Oliver Brooks and the others had already emerged from underwater, holding or carrying various objects in their hands.

Sean saw that Oliver Brooks was holding two old firearms which didn’t appear to be badly corroded. Lincoln Harrington held a ship’s figurehead that looked like a sea monster, while Douglas Cooper held a small bronze cannon, similar to what they salvaged before.

"There’s quite a lot of stuff inside, but the ship is quite large, so it will take some time to search." Oliver Brooks wiped his face and told Sean, who was on the deck.

"You guys come up first. We’ve caused some trouble." Sean told them calmly, "Don’t worry, just come up and we’ll talk while eating. Maintain your composure."

Oliver Brooks and the others were startled, but fortunately, Sean reminded them in time to prevent any significant changes. They sent their stuff onto the deck, climbed up acting normally, and removed their diving suits.

Elijah brought over the barbecue grill, and they all sat down on the deck and started barbecuing together.

There was a fire blanket spread out on the deck, so there was no need to worry about problems.

"Don’t look too far away. To our southeast, there’s a fishing boat. Just now, I saw through the telescope that it’s captained by that Andie."

"That bastard?" Oliver Brooks, who often spent time at sea, naturally knew that Andie wasn’t brewing any good intentions by watching their yacht.

"Yes. Under normal circumstances, he should have rented out his boat, but now he’s watching it himself, and he’s close to us, which means he’s most likely keeping an eye on us. What’s unclear is whether it’s his own intention or someone else’s."

"It’s most likely his own intention!" Oliver Brooks took the grilled crab leg handed over by Elijah, eating and talking, "It’s a rule here that if you report illegal salvaging, the whistleblower gets a reward. He’s probably after this reward!"

"Of course, it’s also possible that he thinks you might get rich, so he wants to keep you down." Sean continued to speculate, "This guy’s psychology is a bit twisted!"

Oliver Brooks’ expression was uncertain, and he couldn’t help but agree with Sean’s speculation that it was probably true.

There were many people who had ridiculed him, and most of them were probably among those who didn’t want to see him succeed.

And Andie stood out the most.

"It seems I’ve brought trouble to everyone..."

"Don’t put the blame on yourself." Sean said with a smile, "You guys go ahead with your salvage. Leave the rest to me!"

"How will you handle it?" Elijah and the others were a little uneasy, and Oliver Brooks also looked at Sean with concern.

"I’ll gradually move the things you guys have salvaged off the yacht. Don’t worry, the items will definitely still be there in the end, just making them harder to find."

He asked Oliver Brooks:

"What would happen if I wanted to cause trouble for the other party?"

Oliver Brooks said:

"As long as the patrol boat that comes over can’t find any salvaged items on our side, then he might be in trouble..."

Sean nodded.

"Catch more seafood, put it in the box, which will both confuse them and improve our meals."

"Alright, no problem!"

After that, Oliver Brooks and the others continued with their salvage, while Sean sorted the things they brought up on the yacht. He separated the less valuable items from those worth more money.

Elijah followed Sean and seeing him happily working, couldn’t help but say:

"Boss, let me handle this, okay? I’m also pretty good at hiding things!"

"Alright, this isn’t as simple as that, so don’t get involved." Sean said with a smile, "You just ensure our safety. Of course, if you want some activity, just switch with Lincoln Harrington or Douglas Cooper and go play in the water."

"Alright then." Seeing Sean reject his kindness, Elijah thought that the boss must be up to something cunning, so he didn’t interfere any further.

Since they had never failed while following Sean, they weren’t worried.

Even if the worst happened and they got caught, what could be the consequences?

This was just Elijah’s thought, but Sean would definitely not think this way - there was no need to stubbornly compete with the authorities of other countries.

Andie stayed here, watching as Oliver Brooks and the others carried items and baskets of things onto the deck, and he became excited!

During the afternoon, he had already called the authorities with the satellite phone!

The relevant department paid great attention to the report, asked Andie for the coordinates, and said the nearest patrol boat was hundreds of sea miles away and would take a while to arrive. They told Andie to keep an eye on Sean and the others.

Andie immediately agreed, and the other party praised his actions, saying that if it turned out to be true that they were engaged in illegal salvaging, they would confiscate their salvaged items and give Andie a generous award.
