Chapter 421: Chapter 305: Is it Intentional or Malicious?_2

Sean nodded, thinking that this suggestion wasn’t bad either.

As Julia and Amelia talked some more, Sean realized he could really consider their ideas. The island was indeed quite monotonous. But in the eyes of these designers, since Sean was planning major changes, the island was like a blank sheet of paper—free to paint however they wanted.

Therefore, they walked around and chatted about the design transformations while returning to the yacht. By the time they arrived back, it was already dark.

Lincoln and Douglas, who had stayed on the yacht, had already prepared some seafood.

Although Sean and the others didn’t have much of an appetite for seafood anymore, Julia and Amelia were still excited about it. They enjoyed their meal and praised it continuously.

After all, the seafood was freshly caught from the ocean and cooked immediately—how could it not be delicious?

That night, Julia and Amelia rested in the master bedroom while Sean and the others stayed in the living room. They were already comfortable since they had experienced much more difficult situations before.

The next day, they continued surveying the island for half a day before heading back.

"We’ll start designing as soon as we get back, and we’ll send you the drawings for approval. Once you agree, we’ll directly hand them over to the construction company," Julia said.

"Don’t touch these two areas first." Sean took out a map and marked two locations, "If my guess is correct, there are mines in these two places."

"That’s fine," Julia looked at the locations Sean had marked and said, "Fortunately, the island is big enough, so we can completely avoid these two places."

Back in Jakarta City, Julia and Amelia left the next day, while Sean called Elijah, Lincoln, and Douglas to his room.

"There’s a new job coming. Are you guys in?"

Elijah asked:

"What job?"

"A reward mission from the Swedish Royal Family. They want us to help them find their treasure." Sean had spent the last few days investigating and found out that this task was real.

Although the Swedish Royal Family did not publicly disclose this information, they did not keep it strictly confidential either. Consequently, treasure hunting teams that had arrived earlier had shared the news online.

The information wasn’t very clear, but Sean was almost sure when he combined the two pieces of information.

"To help the royal family find things? Sure! We must go!" Douglas’s eyes lit up, "Maybe we can make friends with a princess!"

"Can you focus on the task at hand?" Lincoln looked at him contemptuously, "We’re going for the job!"

"I know we’re going for the job!" Douglas seemed more relaxed now, compared to when he had made mistakes earlier. His speech had become more casual, and his work had become more reliable. "But if we can get a princess while we’re at it, wouldn’t that be a win-win?"

"As long as it doesn’t affect the task at hand, if you can achieve this, I’ll give you a big red envelope," Sean said with a smile, "By the way, you guys aren’t getting any younger. Maybe it’s time to consider finding someone? Douglas’ idea is actually not bad."

"It depends on fate," Elijah shook his head, "I actually tried meeting someone back home, but they didn’t think I had a proper job, so it didn’t work out. I’ve come to terms with it—these things can’t be forced."

"We’ll see. Maybe on this trip, you’ll all come back with a foreign daughter-in-law, shocking those who once looked down on you," Sean suggested.

Once everything had been discussed, Sean went to see Oliver.

Although Oliver now had money, he hadn’t gone on a spending spree. Instead, he and Xiaoxiu still lived in the small courtyard.

Seeing Sean arriving, Oliver greeted him with a smile and asked, "I heard you’re leaving soon?"

"Yes," Sean sat down in a chair in the courtyard. Xiaoxiu poured him some tea, greeted him with a smile and then went inside.

"When are you leaving?" Oliver asked again, "Before you go, let’s have a farewell dinner. After that, don’t forget you have an island here and me as your brother Oliver. You should come back often."

"Don’t be so sentimental," Sean patted him, "I consider this place a base. Although the island is technically yours, I must make it clear that it is mine."

"It’s yours, it’s yours, it’s yours," Oliver laughed, "I just hope you have more things here, more attachments, so you’ll come back often."

He sighed and said,

"I feel like I’ve wasted my forty-plus years, only to make friends with you guys in the end. I was so obsessed with completing the family mission and pursuing the family’s history that I lost track of my life."

"Don’t say that! You still have a long way to go," Sean joked, "Don’t act like you’re at the end of your life already. By the way, I came here today to discuss something important."

"You tell me." As soon as Chen Yonghao heard that there was a real issue, he immediately put away his smile, "I’ll do my best."

"The designer of the island has gone back to work on the design. Once it’s done, there will be a construction company coming over. At that time, you can help with the contact and lead them to the island.

Also, you help them with their supplies and connections since they are unfamiliar with the local area coming from China, it’s up to you to help take care of them."

"That’s no problem." Chen Yongyang had been helping Sean Knight with the island renovation procedures a few days ago, he said with a smile, "It’s just that you have money, I don’t think this island can be transformed without spending several hundred million dollars."

"Anyway, we’ll just take our time." Sean Knight said with a smile, "Why don’t you buy an island next to where we are, and we can be neighbors?"

"No way." Chen Yongyang had a smug expression, "When your island is built, just save a piece of land for me, and I’ll build a courtyard. Only big shots like you can own an island!"

Sean Knight immediately agreed:

"Everyone’s welcome! By that time, Elijah Hastings said he wants to build a courtyard on the island as well, so we can gather around for a card game."

"Deal." Chen Yongyang was really a little tempted, "Once the basic facilities are in place, I’ll go over there. But let me tell you first, I can’t accept no electricity or water!"

"Don’t worry about it! There’s a freshwater source on the island, and tidal and solar power generation will not be a problem."

After explaining everything, Sean Knight politely declined Chen Yongyang’s invitation to dinner and returned to the hotel.

With everything settled, Sean left Chen Yongyang to look after the yacht, and they took a plane to Sweden.

The plane landed in Stockholm, Sean saw a middle-aged gentleman in a tailcoat waiting outside.

The man came up to Sean and his friends with a smile and said politely, "Mr. Knight, welcome. Please follow me to the palace."

Sean recognized that this was the person he had talked to on the phone. Before leaving Jakarta, Sean had called the man, who was a butler named Andrew Petrov, who said he would meet them at the airport.

It was indeed a greeting.

However, looking at the somewhat old SUV that Andrew was driving, Sean thought to himself, it seems that the rumors about the Swedish royal family being poor might be true after all.

As they arrived at Queen’s Island, Sean got out of the car and looked at the palace.

Queen’s Island, known as the Royal Estate of Drottningholm, is situated on the shores of Lake Mälar, 15 kilometers from Stockholm, Sweden. This place has a palace, a well-preserved theater, a Chinese-style courtyard pavilion, and two large royal gardens, earning the nickname of "Swedish Miniature Versailles."

One word - beautiful.

That’s all.

Andrew led Sean and his friends to a reception room in the palace.

The person receiving them was a royal family member, 30-year-old Prince Delton. Because he is not the eldest son, Delton is not the Crown Prince and has a more outgoing personality.

He curiously looked at Sean and then took the initiative to ask:

"Mr. Knight, nice to meet you. I’ve heard about you. You’ve been involved in several famous treasure hunts and have always made huge gains... "

Sean felt that Delton’s gaze at him was a bit strange.

It was as if he was examining him, and very curious. He was sure that this was the first time he had met Delton, but the man’s looks seemed somehow familiar to him.

What’s going on?

Sean was a little confused.

But that didn’t stop him from being modest:

"I’ve been very lucky. From the beginning, when I was involved in container treasure hunting, I was called the ’Lucky Chinese man’ by the treasure hunters in New York Harbor."

"Luck is also part of strength." Delton complimented, "Besides, according to the information I received, your strength is more than just luck. I hope this time you will succeed."

At this point, Andrew handed Sean a document.

Sean opened it and started reading, but as soon as he saw the conditions, he couldn’t help but complain - was the royal family really that stingy?
