Chapter 409: Chapter 299: The Mountain Man Has His Own Ingenious Plan_2

Noises came from the deck as Sean turned down the heat and went out.

He found Lincoln pulling Oliver, while Elijah behind them was flapping about in the water with something.

And there was blood on Oliver’s arm; his diving suit was bitten!

"Shark!" Oliver was still shocked. "There’s a shark in the water! I was bitten!"

Sean suddenly thought of the cut on Oliver’s finger caused by the reverse stab of a fish arrow and immediately understood everything!

Of all the things that could happen to this guy!

He didn’t give any warnings himself, what a...

He couldn’t decide whether this was good luck or bad luck, but he encountered it anyway.

"Elijah is still fighting the shark!" Lincoln pulled Oliver up and added, "That shark..."

"What?" Sean was taken aback. Seeing Elijah flapping in the water, he hesitated for a moment and dived straight in!

Lincoln stared at the splashes, dumbfounded.

Douglas, hearing the commotion, ran over. Upon understanding what was going on, he didn’t say anything and dove into the water!

Oliver paused for a moment, and then exclaimed:

"Your boss, your coworkers..."

"We’re not coworkers, we’re brothers..."

"Right, right, right. Brothers. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be jumping in..."

Envy filled Oliver’s eyes.

In all his years, why hadn’t he had friends like these?

Once underwater, Sean realized that the shark fighting with Elijah was not very big, not even one and a half meters long. At that moment, Elijah was wrestling with the shark by holding its head.

Instantly, Sean stepped forward and grabbed the shark’s tail, limiting its movements even more.

Then Douglas joined in, completely subduing the shark. The three of them controlled it and lifted it onto the deck.

After getting the shark on the deck, Sean asked somewhat bemusedly:

"Why did we bring this half-grown shark up here? It doesn’t taste good, does it?"

Elijah, upon hearing this, hesitated for a moment before falling into self-doubt:

"That’s right, what are we doing?"

Both of their gazes fell on Douglas.

"Why are you looking at me? I saw both of you trying to capture it alive, so I thought we were going to catch it fresh to eat..."

"God, it’s fresh, let it go!" Sean couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

Originally, he wanted to go down and save Elijah but ended up helping. Now, everything was a mess.

"Alright, let’s release it. This thing isn’t very dangerous."

Everyone agreed and threw the unknown species of shark back into the water.

The shark swam away immediately.

Deep down, it must have been broken.

"My fish!" Sean suddenly remembered that he was still stewing fish and rushed back into the kitchen.

Lincoln helped Oliver apply medicine and then bandaged the wound. By then, Sean had already served the stewed star grouper.

"Here, try my cooking," Sean handed out chopsticks. "Let’s hope not to waste such good ingredients."

"It smells delicious," Oliver said with a smile.

"Let’s dig in." Sean picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth before realizing that the taste was good – so fresh!

"By the way, Mr. Brooks, did you find that ship?" Sean asked while eating.

"I only saw a silhouette. Before I could get any closer, that shark chased me. Then, I had to swim back. If it weren’t for these two, I would be in trouble."

Although the shark wasn’t much of a threat to Elijah, Oliver was over forty years old after all. His physical strength would never compare to young people’s. He was naturally terrified when he encountered a shark.

"Wait for us to finish eating, and you stay on top. We’ll go down and salvage it," Sean put down his chopsticks and said, "However, we probably can’t save the ship."

"If we can’t save it, then so be it," Oliver looked accepting. "I’m already grateful to find it, especially thankful to you guys. As for the ship, it belongs to the sea."

That’s settled.

"You found it?" Elijah finally had time to ask. "The golden ship?"

"Should be," Sean said. "I found it in the sea. Five hollowed-out tree trunks made into boxes, and there’s something inside."

However, there are quite a few blue-ringed octopuses on the ship, and I suspect there might also be big sharks nearby, so..."

"Dangerous? We’re not afraid!" Douglas Cooper said excitedly, "Boss, just tell us the location, and the three of us will go down and salvage everything, with no harm to anyone."

Sean Knight picked up a piece of the best meat from the fish’s cheeks with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing as he said:

"Have you ever thought about this? After everything is salvaged and on board, what if we run into a maritime patrol boat on our way back?"

Douglas Cooper suddenly became silent.

It’s not only possible but very likely!

Sean Knight’s plan to frame the banana boat with underwater antiques was actually quite transparent.

It’s just that the Chinese heritage team leader had no intention of exposing the truth, so he remained silent.

But there’s no guarantee that the maritime patrol boat isn’t still keeping an eye on them.

It’s fine at sea, but who knows what will happen once they approach the shore?

"That Mr. Spencer might also have a problem," Lincoln Harrington suddenly said. "There’s no way Andie could know so clearly about our affairs while she’s at school."

The others all nodded in agreement.

Oliver Brooks picked up a fish eyeball with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing as he said:

"Should we just hold off for now? We have the location memorized anyway..."

"No need." Sean Knight’s gaze fell on the yacht through the hull and he said leisurely:

"There are some methods that may be clichéd, but if used correctly, they are very effective!"

"Alright, we’ll be responsible for the salvage. Leave the rest to you, boss." Douglas Cooper was excited again.

"Deal."

Sean Knight agreed readily. Then he turned to Oliver Brooks, who was thinking with his head down:

"Brother Brooks, I’ll keep the stuff after it’s salvaged. Once we’re ashore and the situation is calm, we’ll talk about it—do you want gold or money?"

"Me?" Oliver Brooks came back to his senses with a bewildered look in his eyes before regaining clarity. "I want some gold, the rest in money. I’ll keep the gold for sentimental reasons. When I have a son, I have to tell him that this is the gold our ancestors worked hard to dig, a family heirloom of the Brooks Family... "

"Alright, as you wish."

Sean Knight continued eating fish, while the others had their minds elsewhere.

"Alright, rest for a bit, and then you guys can dive. I can see that your thoughts are already on the sunken ship." Sean Knight said with a smile.

"Alright!" Douglas Cooper was the first to put down his chopsticks and stand up. He put the fish bones on the table and said, "I’ll go to the deck and take a look first."

As soon as Douglas Cooper got to the deck, he exclaimed, and the others immediately dropped their chopsticks and ran out.

Running to the deck, Douglas Cooper pointed at the yacht in the distance and said quickly:

"Look, look there! Shark! A shark bit someone who was swimming after jumping off the yacht!"

My goodness!

From such a distance, Douglas Cooper was able to see this; his eyesight is not bad!

However, since they were at sea and the air was good with nothing blocking their view, they could indeed see someone struggling near the yacht, and people on the yacht were screaming.

"If it’s that small shark, it shouldn’t be a big problem; it can’t eat them." Elijah Hastings said, "But if it’s a big shark, it’s hard to say."

Luckily, it was quickly determined that it should be a small shark. A lifebuoy was dropped from above, and the bitten person grabbed it. Then, a small shark was pulled up with the person before falling back down.

"He’s... quite unlucky." Oliver Brooks sympathized with the person.

After all, he had two people to save him, while the other could only cling to a lifebuoy.

"Alright, don’t watch the excitement, it’s time to dive."

Sean Knight glanced at the yacht in the distance and urged them on.

He was worried that if the person on the yacht was severely injured, his plan might fall through.

Urged by Sean Knight, Elijah Hasting and the others immediately put on their diving suits, jumped into the water with a splash, and disappeared.

After being injured, Oliver Brooks lost a lot of blood and went back to the cabin to rest. Sean Knight sat on the deck, seemingly fishing, but in reality, he was observing the yacht in the distance.

Fortunately, the super yacht did not show any signs of leaving and remained in place.

Sean Knight felt a bit relieved.

He had caught quite a few fish during this time, so he decided to marinate them and prepare for a barbecue in the evening..

At this moment, the super yacht in the distance moved!

Sean Knight’s heart immediately tightened—please don’t leave!
