Chapter 566: Chapter 380: Fighting a Battle-Ready Nation?

After dealing with Ariya, Sean Knight called Lana Brown.

"You said you were leaving? So suddenly? How long? And...are you coming back?"

It was obvious that Lana asked cautiously, and Sean replied:

"I’m going to Russia to handle some things. Once everything is sorted, I’ll definitely come back. I can’t say exactly how long it will take since I don’t know how long these matters will take.

"Do you have to go now?"

"Yes. After we resupply at the port, we’ll leave. Don’t worry, if you miss me, just send a video. It’s quite convenient, you don’t need to come over. I’ll be back after I finish my business."

Sean hung up the phone and immediately asked Elijah Hastings and his team to resupply.

When Ariya learned that Sean was leaving, she planned to leave with her yacht too.

However, Sean was in a rush, and his yacht left at full speed, quickly leaving Ariya’s yacht behind.

By the time Lana Brown arrived at the port on an electric vehicle, the yacht had already disappeared.

Eve Bell stood beside her, watching her daughter stare blankly at the sea, and asked softly:

"Do you regret it?"

"Regret...? No, no regrets." Lana’s eyes cleared, "No regrets. At least now, I am free. I don’t worry that Sean will send me away to please someone because of business.

I also don’t have to worry about my future. I have my own business, I won’t create trouble for no reason...besides, I still have something to care for..."

"Yes, something to care for." Eve sighed and said, "When there’s something to care for, there’s hope and expectation..."

Sean didn’t know that Lana still had a glimmer of hope and had gone to the port in order to see him just one last time. At this moment, he was in the driver’s cockpit of the yacht, discussing with Elijah and the others:

"I need your help with this matter, and I need your full effort."

"Just give us the order, boss. We barely do any work and just take the money, it’s getting embarrassing," Elijah said.

"Exactly," Douglas Cooper chimed in, unusually serious, "Boss, I feel like we’ve been living too far away from an exciting life. Just give us the orders, and we’ll do our best!"

"Here’s the situation..." Sean explained everything.

The previous phone call was made by his father, Mark Knight.

After spending some time at home, Sean’s brother, Oscar Knight, told Mark that he was going out for travel and then left.

At first, Oscar called home every other day, talking about going to Shanxi Province, Capital City, and the Northeast. Then he called again and said he had gone abroad.

This startled Mark, wondering, how did he travel from playing around to going overseas?

After a while without any calls, a stranger called a few days ago and told Mark to transfer 1 million or they would chop off one of Oscar’s arms!

Then they sent a video, in which Oscar was tied to a chair with a towel stuffed in his mouth, shaking his head at the cameras.

Mark panicked and immediately wanted to call the police.

But he was stopped by Ralph Knight.

The kidnappers also sent a message saying they weren’t afraid of Mark calling the police—since they were in Siberia and the police couldn’t do anything to them!

Mark hung up the phone and immediately called someone in the police station in his village. As expected, it wasn’t easy to deal with.

Mark could only transfer 1 million to the kidnappers, hoping they would stick to their word.

However, the kidnappers reneged and demanded a whopping 5 million dollars!

This time, Mark knew he was in big trouble.

He initially didn’t want to disturb Sean, but now he had no choice but to tell him.

After Sean took the call and comforted his father, he immediately asked his father to reply to the kidnapper:

He would give them 5 million dollars, but only in person!

The kidnappers agreed but changed their demand to 5 million US dollars!

Sean agreed on the condition that it would be face-to-face with the money and Oscar!

The kidnappers agreed as well.

However, they didn’t provide a specific address, telling Sean to arrive at Khabarovsk City first and then wait for further instructions.

Sean was ready to fly there immediately.

"Is it just this matter?" Elijah asked, "Don’t worry, boss. We can handle it..."

"Absolutely!" said Douglas, "Or you don’t even have to go, boss. Leave it to us. We’re good at this!"

"No, I have to go. And after we go abroad, I’ll have to provide you with weapons. If you guys go alone, without knowing anyone, you might end up getting sold..."

Not only did Sean want to go, but he also wanted to make the culprits pay the price!

"Does boss have connections over there?" Douglas asked excitedly, "That’s great!"

Then the four of them started discussing the plan.

However, they could only plan roughly here, as many situations would require them to act on the fly.

Leaving the yacht in Jakarta City, they informed Oliver Brooks, then the four of them took an airplane and left the place.

By the time they arrived in Berlin—Khabarovsk City, three days had passed.

"This used to be our territory," Sean sighed and immediately contacted the kidnappers using his mobile phone.

At that moment, Oscar Knight and his distant cousin, William Perry, were held captive in a stone house, shivering from the cold.

"William, it’s all your fault. You got me into a terrible situation," Oscar said darkly, hugging his arms and shrinking into a corner of the stone house.
