Chapter 411: Chapter 300: The Countdown of Life!_2

It would be impossible to say that I wasn’t worried at all.

"As agreed, it’s half for you, half for me," Sean Knight chuckled, "Up to you."

"What about them..." Oliver Brooks pointed to the sleeping Elijah Hastings and the others next door.

"They are my employees. I will cover their share."

When it came to salvaging treasure, Sean Knight definitely put in the most effort.

But Sean Knight knew, without the information from Oliver Brooks, he wouldn’t have been able to find this place. Given the vast sea, even with the Sky Eye, how much area could he truly cover?

In this line of work, Sean knew it was necessary to respect business ethics. Since Oliver didn’t short-change him, he naturally didn’t plan to scam Oliver either.

Oliver Brooks picked up a gold ingot, his expression somewhat regretful. However, he quickly put it down.

A six-kilogram object wasn’t easy to keep on one’s person!

"I’ll take one piece, just one, as a memento."

"You should hide it well," Sean advised, "There’s a high chance we’d be checked when we return to the pier. Try not to get discovered."

Upon hearing this, Oliver hesitated before saying, "Never mind then. I’ll leave it with you. Give me a piece when it’s safe."

"Alright." Sean took out an iron box, loading all the gold and silver ingots into it, "When it’s safe, I’ll give you a piece. Then, we’ll sell the rest and split the money."

"Speaking of splitting the money, I have an idea." Oliver helped Sean load the ingots into the box, "Your half stays as it is. Out of my half, I want to take 10% and distribute it among the three of them."

Sean looked up at him.

"I know that without you all, I could never get my hands on this treasure... "

"Without you, we couldn’t have got it either."

"So I think they also contributed. You’re a generous person, so I won’t bother giving you more. You’re reasonable and probably wouldn’t accept it anyway. But, I want to give them a share. That should be... okay, right?"

"Fine." Seeing that Oliver was very sincere, Sean didn’t refuse. He smiled and said, "Then let me thank you on their behalf."

10%, at least over 6 million dollars.

Each of them would get at least 2 million dollars.

By the average person’s standards, they would probably retire the second they received this money.

However, Sean guessed that none of them would leave.

How exciting is it to search for treasure overseas?

What could they do if they went back home?

Create trouble for no reason!

These three were certainly not content with an ordinary life.

As night fell, Oliver Brooks went to sleep. Elijah Hastings stayed up to keep watch, and Sean, carrying the iron box, donned a diving suit and dove into the sea.

His plan was to attach the iron box to the underside of the super yacht using a powerful magnet, securing it to ensure it didn’t detach.

Of course, that was the plan on the surface.

In private, Sean didn’t feel so reassured. There were all kinds of possible accidents under the sea, so before diving, he had already moved the gold and silver ingots into a different spatial realm.

The sea at night was not devoid of light, in fact, Sean saw a lot of glowing creatures — fish, algae, and many more he did not recognize.

Moving the box was a slow process, and occasionally, a dark figure would dart past him. If it were not for his Sky Eye, it would have been pretty scary.

In the distance, a small shark was swimming back and forth near the super yacht.

Sean thought to himself, if it really approached him, he wouldn’t hold back.

For some reason, the shark swam away when it saw Sean!

Sean was puzzled but he didn’t dwell on it. He swam underneath the super yacht and slowly attached the box to the side of the underside of the boat. Then, he took out a few more powerful magnets with ropes and tied them tightly around the box to ensure it was secured.

To avoid attracting the attention of the people on the yacht, Sean tried to be as quiet as possible with his actions.

At the same time, he heightened his sense of hearing, and then instantly regretted it!

What on earth were they doing up there?!

Didn’t these people ever take a break?!

A deer rutting only lasts half a month - how long had these people been at it?

Sean swam away with a disgruntled expression.

He would deal with the rest when he got back to shore!

Upon returning to the Starfish yacht, Sean removed his diving suit, tidied up a bit, and went to sleep.

The next day, Oliver Brooks woke him with the news, "That super yacht has left. Looks like they’re heading back to port!"

"Then let’s move too," Sean laughed, "At least the trip wasn’t wasted. Our mission is complete."

Oliver Brooks also laughed.

The yacht started, and breakfast was eaten while underway.

To avoid attracting attention, Sean Knight and his team returned to the pier half a day later than the super yacht.

As soon as they saw the super yacht docked in its berth at the pier, Sean Knight and his team were relieved.

As soon as the boat docked, before anyone had disembarked, a team of marine police arrived.

As expected!

Elijah Hastings, Lincoln Harrington, Douglas Cooper, and Oliver Brooks all looked at Sean Knight.

Sean Knight said in a low voice,

"Piece of cake!"

This time, the team was led by a local leader who read a list of regulations and then directed the persons on the yacht to start the search.

The marine police were less polite than the previous lot, turning everything upside down in a frenzy.

Even though they were prepared for it, seeing the seafood they had carefully preserved in ice being thrown haphazardly around, Sean Knight couldn’t but burn with rage!

Luckily, despite the use of equipment and manual searching, they found nothing. Some even jumped into the sea to look for something but came back empty-handed. The team leader’s face didn’t look too good, and after uttering a few words to save face, he and his team left.

"Damn, I really want to beat these people!", grumbled Douglas Cooper while collecting the scattered seafood.

"Enough, we didn’t incur any losses. We’ll see what happens tonight. For now, clean up the seafood and deliver it to Mr. Brooks’s courtyard."

There were rental cars at the pier. They collected their belongings, moved them, and went to Oliver Brooks’s courtyard.

However, Sean Knight and the others didn’t want to be a nuisance, they greeted Xiao Xiu and then returned to the hotel.

On the sea, they hadn’t noticed it, but once ashore, they immediately became aware of the strong fishy and salty smells on their bodies.

They threw away the dirty clothes, took a good wash, and then Sean Knight called the three to his suite.

"Mr. Brooks will take one-fifth of his share and distribute it among you three. I estimate each of you will get at least two million US dollars."

Sean’s words were rather casual, but the three of them were visibly excited.

Douglas Cooper swallowed a lump in his throat:

"I... I never dreamed of having so much money in my life!"

The expressions of Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington were similar.

This was within Sean’s expectations.

"After this job is over, you can go home, or you can continue to work with me. If I continue to hire you—it won’t be as lucrative as this time everytime."

The three didn’t answer instantly; they needed time to think.

This was within reason.

"Before that, I hope you will help me with something." Sean’s gaze swept over the three of them.

The expressions of the three immediately turned serious.

Sean seldom asked for their help.

Since he did, all three of them took it very seriously.

Sean was a good boss - they wouldn’t be bad employees.

The three of them knew if it wasn’t for Sean, Oliver Brooks would never have agreed to give them one-tenth of the total gold.

So, they wanted to return the favor.

Plus, Sean hadn’t hesitated to jump into the fray with a shark when he heard Elijah was in a perilous situation! He wasn’t even their comrade-in-arms!

"Boss, just say." Elijah spoke calmly but firmly.

"That swindler, Edward Tomlinson, I do not plan to let him get away lightly."

"We’ll take care of that!" Douglas Cooper declared first, "Boss, even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve thought you let it slide. I was planning to sneak into his place and knock him out while on vacation!"

"There’s no way we can let it go. It was just that the timing wasn’t right. Now that our job is done, and only the very last part of selling is remaining, there’s no urgency. So, we can thoroughly deal with that swindler..."

"Boss, we’re doing it!" Lincoln Harrington seconded, "After causing so many deaths, he’s still wining and dining. The heavens are blind; we can’t stand it!"

Sean knew that from this moment, the countdown to a significant change in Edward Tomlinson’s life had begun.

"Alright, let’s plan this well. Not only do we need to make him pay, but we also have to make him spit out all the money he swindled. We might not be saints, but if we can save someone, let’s do it!"

"Alright!"

"I Agree!"

"No Problem!"

All three of them expressed their agreement, and Sean then started sharing his plan.
