Chapter 446: Chapter 319: Small Tricks and Big Disasters

After talking with Harrison Lee for almost half an hour, Sean Knight had basically learned about the situation on the island.

Now, the island is being worked on by Craig Davis and the team from the newly established overseas branch. The current plan is to start digging from the tip of the island and gradually level it while piling stones around the island.

As everyone joked, this island was bought by the Xinjiang guys anyway, so it should be expanded to increase its area, putting the stones to good use.

Eventually, Harrison Lee reported the matter to Craig Davis via walkie-talkie, and Craig hurried over in an electric vehicle.

There was a simple highway from the pier to the construction site. Several park-type electric vehicles were shuttling back and forth with supplies. It was quite convenient.

"Mr. Knight, I didn’t expect you to come so soon." Craig Davis had tanned a lot, wearing a safety helmet, and shook hands with Sean Knight enthusiastically: "Welcome to guide our work!"

"I wouldn’t say I’m here to guide." Sean Knight smiled and said, "I just talked to Harrison, and you guys are doing very well. I, as a layman, won’t interfere; I just want to see the progress."

Craig Davis smiled and said:

"Then let’s go. Let’s take a look at the progress and taste the chef’s cooking while we’re at it."

Elijah Hastings unloaded a lot of supplies from the yacht, mainly vegetables, fruits, and meats.

"Great, with these things, Chef Curtis won’t complain to me about the lack of ingredients and not being able to cook properly."

Then, Sean Knight saw the bustling work scene - pure mechanization, with hardly any manual labor involved.

The whole construction site had about forty to fifty people, with almost fifty machines!

But given the nickname "infrastructure maniac," Sean Knight could understand.

Besides, it would take an unknown number of years to work on such a large island if manual labor was used.

As Sean Knight ate with the workers on the island, in a shabby courtyard in a slum in Jakarta, a Chinese couple were carefully watching the outside and talking.

"Jaxon, do you think this is wrong?"

The girl’s voice was hesitant, full of uncertainty.

"What’s wrong with it?" The handsome young man called Jaxon sipped his thin lips, looked out cautiously, and after confirming there was no danger, retreated back into the courtyard, pulling the girl into the low house.

"Charlotte, if we don’t do this, we might be tracked down here. Not only will we lose our clues, but we’ll probably be beaten, maybe even robbed of everything ... and we might end up worse than dead!"

With his words, the girl was visibly frightened.

Seeing the girl’s emotions, Jaxon hugged her, sitting on the edge of the bed, and spoke softly: "I’m not saying we have to be the bad guys.

That Sean Knight, he’s already a billionaire anyway. We’re fellow citizens, so let’s bask in his glory and shake off the trackers.

When we dig up the treasure, we can just help him clear his name or give him some gold and jewelry as a compensation gift!"

Finally, the girl nodded, then worriedly asked:

"But... will Sean Knight get angry and trace it back to us because of this?"

Jaxon stroked her hair and laughed:

"You were just worried about ruining his reputation, and now you’re worried about him catching us... you, you... rest assured, it’s safe for us to hide here. If the local gangs can’t find us, how could outsiders like them find us?"

He simply hugged the girl and lay on the bed, facing up, daydreaming:

"After the lockdown is lifted in a few days, we’ll sneak off to Manila and then find new clues. By then, we’ll locate the treasure and become billionaires! Let’s see who dares to mess with us then..."

While the man’s wild fantasies might seem laughable to ordinary people, the girl saw them as a display of confidence.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?

Lincoln Harrington and Douglas Cooper dragged their suitcases out of the airport and rushed to the hotel where they had previously stayed.

After packing up their luggage, the two went to Oliver Brooks’ courtyard.

"Take a look at these documents first." Oliver handed Lincoln the information collected recently, "Mr. Knight wants to investigate the mastermind behind the smoke screen. We have narrowed down the range, and it’s most likely a young couple."

Looking at the photos of the two people in the documents, Lincoln was a bit surprised:

"Both are Chinese? They came from here?"

"Yes." Oliver nodded in confirmation, "When they were on vacation here, they found an old World War II battlefield diary in the souvenirs they bought. The diary records some traces of Yamashita Fumio’s actions during that time."

"Is it true?" Douglas, who knew something about Yamashita Fumio, asked.

"Not sure if it’s true, but there’s a high probability that it is. The young man is arrogant and accidentally let this matter slip, and then he was targeted by someone with ulterior motives. He was afraid of being discovered, so he set off a smoke screen and claimed that Mr. Knight had obtained the documents."

"Damn! They betray their own people even abroad!"

Lincoln’s curse resonated deeply with Douglas.

Some people go abroad and desperately maintain their country’s image, while others smear their compatriots at any cost.

If the two really had no other way, it would be understandable.

However, according to the information provided by Oliver, that was not the case. After getting the clues, Jaxon Kingsley became extremely arrogant, boasting that he would be a billionaire whenever he drank, otherwise he would not have been targeted by others.

"What you need to do now is find these two people." Oliver, who had received instructions from Sean Knight, handed the task to Lincoln and Douglas.

"My connections here have basically identified the general whereabouts of these two individuals. It’s your job to take it from here."

In fact, the people in touch with Oliver could find them, but if they were found and the news was leaked, it would be challenging to handle the follow-up operations.

Sean’s intention was to catch them, teach them a lesson and obtain the information they had.

Those who dared to use Sean as a cover and make him the scapegoat must be prepared to pay the price!

"No problem, we’ll find them within three days," Douglas was confident — mainly because he had become familiar with the area and made friends during his last business trip to Jakarta City.

Now that he had the information on hand, tracking down the people he wanted to find seemed easier for him.

After saying goodbye to Oliver, Lincoln and Douglas went their separate ways to track them down.

So when Sean and Elijah Hastings returned from the Big Island by boat, they saw not only Lincoln and Douglas but also the still arrogant Jaxon Kingsley, who was tied up but still defiant, and the uneasy Sophie King.

"You’re violating human rights! I’m going to sue you!" Jaxon’s tough but vulnerable expression made Sean want to laugh and hit him at the same time.

People like him would beg for mercy on their knees when facing local gangs, but when dealing with people from their country, they always feel entitled, as if others should give in and be indebted to them.

"Teach him a lesson." Sean said nonchalantly.

Then, Jaxon’s screams reminiscent of a slaughtered pig filled the air!
