Chapter 465: Chapter 329: Disturbance and Sabotage_2

"They probably won’t suspect it’s us." Takeuchi Meiko had no idea to what extent the port police’s integrity might be compromised. In her view, since they had paid and reported the situation, even if the police didn’t extort Sean Knight and his friends, at least they wouldn’t expose themselves.

That afternoon, Sean Knight and his friends "ran into" Takeuchi Meiko by chance. Nobita Ichinann and the other man were not present. Meiko was dragging a big bag into the hotel, and Sean and his group happened to be leaving at the same time. They then shared a gaze with Meiko’s pitiful eyes.

"Miss Meiko, you bought so many things?" Sean greeted with a smile.

Meiko said a little embarrassingly:

"Yes, all the things I need... These things are really heavy."

"Hmm, a girl shouldn’t be dragging such heavy stuff." Sean stroked his chin and nodded.

"Yes, yes!" Takeuchi Meiko couldn’t agree more.

"Sigh, you Japanese men are really something. Normally, when those two colleagues of yours have nothing to do, they stick to you so closely. How come they’re nowhere to be found when there’s work to do?" Sean uttered indignantly.

"Sigh... Mr. Nobita also has his own things to do..." Takeuchi Meiko lowered her head, looking incredibly pitiful.

"Alright then, I believe Miss Meiko can definitely do it!" Sean nodded earnestly, "Go for it!"

After saying so, he even made a hand gesture and then followed by Elijah Hastings and the others left.

Left...

Takeuchi Meiko stared at Sean’s back, still in shock.

Don’t Chinese men usually like helping others? And she was a beautiful girl nonetheless!

Such a big bag to carry...

And just left her alone here!

Later, she heard Sean talking to Elijah and the others from afar:

"Boss, why didn’t you help, how could you be so cruel... She’s a beauty after all..."

"Just a man-made beauty..."

Takeuchi Meiko touched her nose, it was crooked in anger!

The first plan failed.

As expected, Chinese people are not that easy to fool...

That night, Sean and his friends boarded their yacht early and kept an eye on Takeuchi Meiko’s yacht.

"I have these things." Sean pulled out a white plastic block similar to sticky bubble gum and a timer.

"Can you guys assemble them into something that goes... ’bang’? And set it to a timer?"

Sean looked at the three men.

"No big deal!"

"Piece of cake!"

All three brushed off the task as if it were nothing.

Sean nodded.

"We don’t need it to be too powerful, just damage their engine or rudder. And preferably don’t leave any traces."

"Rest assured, directional and calculating charge amounts, engineer soldiers have been professional in these matters for the past two years. For us, it’s even more professional."

Elijah took the items away. Douglas Cooper and Lincoln Harrington, who were a step slower, felt upset—when it comes to revenge, it’s better to do it personally.

"Don’t worry, there will be chances later." Sean smiled and said, "Considering they come yearly, it’s impossible for them not to have something valuable. That should be their Achilles’ heel..."

Douglas and Lincoln’s eyes lit up!

"Now this is challenging, I like this kind of challenge!" Douglas stroked his chin. With this meaning, he was already planning in his mind!

Elijah glanced at them and didn’t say anything else. He took the items to another room.

Once everything was ready, it was time to observe.

Sean didn’t expect the other party to start their operation at night as well.

"At least four people have dived down. Apart from the two men we usually see, the two staying on the boat also went down."

"Could the things under the warship..." Douglas worried.

"In that case." Sean thought about it and said, "Elijah, you keep working on your mission. Lincoln, dive down and keep an eye on them, see what they’re doing."

With four people diving down suddenly, it’s impossible to say there was no movement.

But to say they discovered the traces left by Sean and his friends also seemed unlikely.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Elijah was the first to return, such a task was a walk in the park for him.

He reported to Sean Knight:

"The explosion will happen in ten minutes, and the stuff will fall into the sea with the blast. The sound won’t be very loud, but the effect will be significant."

Sean nodded, always trusting Elijah.

After another seven or eight minutes, Lincoln Harrington surfaced and said:

"I saw it; they are digging a hole under the side of the warship. It seems to be a huge project."

Lincoln spoke with a sense of schadenfreude, knowing the exact location. To dig from where they were, they would need to tunnel up twenty meters underneath the warship.

Not to mention that the warship had sunk at least a meter deep, and the stones underneath would be enough work for them to dig!

"Alright, we’re not working tonight. Let’s go back and rest." Sean instructed Douglas Cooper to sail back to the pier.

After a good night’s sleep at the hotel, Sean and his team went out for breakfast and saw Takeuchi Meiko and Nobita Ichinann returning with gloomy faces, ignoring them.

"It must be because of the boat issue, right?" Sean and his teammates speculated while heading to the dining hall.

The dining hall was noisy, but they soon heard what they wanted to hear.

"Who knows who messed with the Japanese boat? They were furious and reported it to the police, but the marine police said there was nothing to go on – no evidence, so what can they do?"

"Aren’t the Japanese wealthy? They’ll find a way to get another boat."

"But they’ve been here paying their respects for several days, and the matter still isn’t over?"

"Who knows? Maybe they’re doing something else. Maybe there’s treasure hidden around here!"

"What treasure! There’s just a broken warship at the bottom, and the money for selling scrap wouldn’t even cover the salvage costs! I don’t know how many times treasure hunters have turned this island upside down. Any treasure would have been found long ago!"

"I heard that some Chinese people recently discovered Yamashita Fumio’s treasure in Manila..."

"Fake! They’ve already clarified that someone was trying to frame them... You’re behind on the news!"

...

Sean and the others looked at each other, surprised by how well-informed the small port was!

After breakfast, they took their yacht out and stopped about a kilometer from the pierside.

As expected, the Japanese yacht was gone.

"Next, we’re going underwater in batches, and we’ll salvage the stuff as soon as possible." Sean said, "To avoid any problems, I’ll contact someone to come over, and you’ll salvage while I handle the sale."

Elijah and the other two nodded.

Two people went underwater to salvage, and one person on the deck was responsible for guarding. As long as any passing ship came, the people underwater would not surface first.

After a day, they salvaged five crates.

The crates were placed in the living room with Sean keeping a close eye on them. After checking their contents, he moved them to a spatial realm.

In the evening, a boat came to pick up the repackaged crates – of course, this was a diversion set up by Sean.

A thousand dollars could handle this matter, and the news could be kept hidden.

That night, Sean and his team continued and salvaged seven more crates.

They followed the same procedure, and their yacht was empty the next day, but they had a bountiful harvest.

However, in the afternoon, the Japanese boat reappeared at the pier, apparently repaired.

The people were driving their yacht around outside the harbor, then stopping outside the harbor.

A person patrolled the deck, and then someone dived into the water.

Sean directly told Douglas:

"Go, find someone to bribe, and report them!"

Tit for tat – they couldn’t let the Japanese carry on with ease.

Sean and the others kept their boat docked in the harbor area, watching through telescopes.

About half an hour later, the marine police went to the Japanese yacht, and after some commotion, the people on the yacht were actually taken away!

Douglas went ashore excitedly to find out what had happened, and when he returned, he had a gleeful face:

"They were in a hurry, and they didn’t hide the underwater salvage tools on their yacht, so they were caught red-handed. It’s said that the marine police also discovered the sunken wreck they were salvaging from, and they didn’t apply for a permit, so they will be fined a considerable sum this time!"

Sean laughed:

"It’s a good thing our yacht has a sealed cabin, so they couldn’t detect anything during their inspections, and we got rid of the stuff quickly, otherwise, we would be in trouble too."

Now that time was pressing, Sean planned to finish salvaging the underwater items as soon as possible, pull off a big job according to plan, and then leave.

If they were going to exact revenge, it couldn’t be a small skirmish!
