Chapter 467: Chapter 330: Playing the Bad Guy for Once_2

However, he underestimated the shamelessness of some people in the Filipino authorities, who had already calculated the value of the items in the photo and demanded him to pay 3 million dollars in taxes!

Caprio Parker was furious!

Just as Caprio was desperately dealing with this matter, Takeuchi Meiko was also dumbfounded!

Because photos of them with gold and silver also appeared on social media!

Actually, the pictures weren’t very harmonious, and anyone with a little experience could tell they were fakes.

But the onlookers didn’t care!

It wouldn’t matter in Japan, but these people were celebrities on Rock Island; they came every year!

As soon as the photo was released, people immediately began to make a fuss–apparently, these people were not here to pay tribute to their ancestors but to look for treasure!

And they have already found the treasure!

What does this mean? It means the treasure is at the port!

Takeuchi Meiko had just paid the fine and left the port authority, intending to reluctantly apply for a salvage permit, but she didn’t expect to be sabotaged in the blink of an eye!

Even if they were foolish, they could guess that it was likely done by the people from China!

But there was no evidence!

Now their boats were being closely watched by the port authorities, and it was difficult to do anything.

Takeuchi Meiko wanted to go back to Japan but knew she couldn’t.

Because the other party had obviously found something, and if they didn’t hurry now, they might not even get a sip of the soup!

So back on the boat, Takeuchi Meiko immediately gathered everyone:

"We must change our strategy. The other party may have found the treasure first. It’s impossible for us to continue digging like this."

"But we can’t move the warship either, can we?" Nobita Ichinann was also confused. As soon as the news came out, he wondered how this could have happened?

What was the other party doing?

Or, what had they done?

"Check the warship for other entrances!" Takeuchi Meiko deduced that the other party must have found another way in from somewhere else.

Continuing to dig with their current method would be impossible.

So there must be another exit!

So that night, they secretly dived into the port and began searching inside the warship.

They didn’t find anything all night–the warship was large, and the calculated treasure location was different from the actual one.

As soon as they moved, they were spotted by the port authorities, and soon after, a number of divers arrived at the sunken warship.

Even the officials from the port came to join in the excitement–now, even the most foolish people could have guessed that something was amiss with the sunken warship!

Takeuchi Meiko was furious!

She knew she had made a mistake, but she couldn’t stop now!

After all, they had been working on this for many years, devising many ways and researching for so long, and seeing results this year, they could never give up–even if they found nothing, they would be at peace.

Under these circumstances, Takeuchi Meiko was busy hurrying on the boat.

She could also dive, but women naturally have less physical strength than men, so after diving, she told Nobita Ichinann and the others that she would go back and plan for the next day, and then went back to the hotel on her own.

In the hotel corridor, just as she was about to enter her room, she noticed someone walking hurriedly past her, and when she wasn’t paying attention, she was knocked out with a blow to the head.

She passed out.

The person who knocked her out helped Meiko open the door with her room card and went inside.

After locking the room, that person put Takeuchi Meiko on the bed and began to swiftly search through her things wearing gloves.

Quickly, that person found a notebook and a stack of documents in the room.

He took photos of the items and saved them on his mobile phone, then noticed a computer on the table.

Upon opening the computer, he found that it was password-protected and couldn’t crack it by force, so he gave up.

After searching the room for a while and not finding any other valuable items, he placed a tiny hidden camera at the bedside lamp’s location. He then took all the money from Takeuchi Meiko’s wallet, and other valuable treasures such as the mobile phone, computer, and camera.

He also ripped open Takeuchi Meiko’s clothes, creating a scene of indecency before hastily leaving.

Ten minutes later, Takeuchi Meiko woke up with a scream, checked herself first, and found that she was only "violated" momentarily. She then rushed to find her belongings.

The notebook and documents were still there, much to her relief. She didn’t care much about the missing mobile phone and other items.

She picked up the phone intending to call the police, but eventually gave up on that idea.

Having lost enough time already, she was glad that the most important items were not missing. The loss of other treasures could be made up for later.

Meanwhile, in another hotel room, Sean Knight and the others were studying Takeuchi Meiko’s notes on their mobile phones.

"Damn it, seems like we really need to learn Japanese after all," Elijah Hastings said, frustrated, after a few glances, tossing the phone on the bed, "I can’t understand a thing!"

Sean shared the same idea, thinking that it’s really necessary to learn several foreign languages in the future. Otherwise, treasure hunting won’t go smoothly.

"Let’s leave it on the phone for now, make sure it’s saved securely. We’ll leave tomorrow and find someone to study it when we get to Jakarta."

With the treasure hunt completed successfully and abundant gains, Sean could imagine the trouble Caprio Parker must be in by now.

Revenge was served, at least to some extent.

"Boss, should we leave now?" Douglas Cooper seemed not fully satisfied, "Did we really handle those Japanese and Caprio firmly enough?"

"Not harsh enough?" Sean touched his chin, "What do you think then?"

Douglas scratched his head and said, "Since we’re leaving, let’s deal them a heavy blow. For example, I want to blow up the yacht inhabited by those Japanese people living a decent life."

"Alright, just be careful," Sean could basically understand the group’s thoughts regarding Takeuchi Meiko and her friends.

If they were ordinary Japanese people, they probably wouldn’t have such a reaction.

But since they’re here to commemorate those Japanese soldiers, it’s another story.

"As for Caprio, my idea is to cut off his way. If he dares to pit us against one another, he should be prepared to face the consequences!"

Sean found that Douglas was much more ruthless in this aspect than himself!

"You can do the first option," Sean thought for a moment and said, "As long as it’s safe and nothing goes wrong. As for the second one... let’s finish the first task first, then go back and gather some information about Caprio."

Douglas agreed.

The second day, Sean and his team left the harbor and headed back along the coastline.

After sailing a few dozen sea miles, the yacht stopped. Douglas and Elijah dived underwater, went back to the harbor using an underwater propeller, placed something under Takeuchi Meiko’s yacht, and returned to their yacht with the help of the propeller.

"Boss, you don’t know what’s happening in the harbor now. So many divers are underwater, circling around that warship. I even saw some government officials trying to use tugboats to see if they can move the warship!"

After returning, Douglas vividly recounted what he saw at the harbor.

In fact, when the yacht left the harbor, they had already witnessed a similar situation. Most boats docked at the harbor would sail out during the daytime, but now most were stopped in various parts of the harbor with divers swimming underwater, their goal obvious.

Then, a "boom" rang out, and a plume of fire erupted, stunning everyone at the harbor!

Even dozens of sea miles away, Sean could see the explosion clearly!

Shocked, Sean asked Douglas:

"Douglas, how much explosive did you put?"

"I put all of it!"

Oh no!

You were aiming to blow that yacht to smithereens!

"We should leave quickly, this is getting big..."
