Chapter 619: Chapter 405: The Final Revenge

Looking at the Japanese military knife that Sean Knight brought out from the sea, along with an antique bronze ware and some gemstone rough, Elijah Hastings and the other two on deck also showed smiling faces.

Sean Knight spoke while drying himself:

"Let’s go, that’s it for today. We’ll find a place to rest properly during the daytime, and come back at night - just one night, and then we’ll head back!"

"Alright!"

The three of them went their separate ways, and Sean Knight returned to his cabin, ate something to regain some energy, and then picked up the military knife to take a closer look at it.

Both the sword handle and the sheath of the military knife were very exquisite. Perhaps when the submarine was about to sink, the owner of the military knife was afraid that seawater would corrode the blade, so he even bound the scabbard with straps.

However, those cloth straps have been rotted away by the soaking seawater now.

Sean Knight easily removed the cloth straps on the military knife, and then slowly pulled out the blade.

The motorboat slowly sailed away from the sea territory in the night, disappearing into the darkness.

Sean Knight looked at the military knife in his hand without any rust, feeling surprised.

What material is this knife made of? It has been in the water for so long and yet, it’s still so well-preserved?

There were also two ancient characters near the handle: Chōzō.

Sean Knight thought about the Japanese swords in his memory, it seemed that only the Demon Sword Muramasa was recognized. As for Kiku-ichimonji and Tantō, he had no idea at all.

So, what kind of sword is Chōzō?

However, the sword must be of high quality.

If he were to release this news to Japan, could he make some money from it?

He would think about it later.

After putting the sword away, Sean Knight lay on the bed with satisfaction and fell asleep.

Well, it’s not as comfortable as a yacht.

Since Sean Knight had found the target and achieved great harvests, he slept soundly. By the time he woke up, it was already noon.

After a simple wash, Douglas Cooper brought some dishes.

After Sean finished eating, he went up to the deck to find Elijah Hastings looking into the distance with his hand propping up an awning.

There was a breeze, and there were clusters of white clouds in the distance. Seagulls circled the motorboat occasionally, making Sean remember a comedy sketch he had seen called "The Seagull’s Mournful Cry."

The seagulls’ noises seemed pleasant at this time, not mournful at all.

"It might change weather tonight." Douglas Cooper followed and said, "Boss, why don’t we return to Port first?"

"You are an expert; let me ask you, will the wind be strong?"

"Hmm, about seven or eight levels." Douglas Cooper said, "It might be in the latter half of the night."

"Then it’s not necessary. Tonight’s operation doesn’t require that much time." Sean Knight said, "We’ll see the situation. If the wind is strong, let’s leave early; if the wind is not too strong, let’s finish the job and then leave."

Once he made a decision, Elijah Hastings and the others didn’t have much to say and went on with their tasks.

Sean Knight moved a chair and sat on the deck, watching the seagulls and occasionally ships passing in the distance, feeling extremely satisfied.

This life is even better than being an immortal!

At nightfall, after dinner, the motorboat began to slowly head towards the predetermined direction.

When they arrived at the location, it had been three hours later.

At this time, Sean Knight noticed that the salvage ship had changed its position and had come to the middle of the continental shelf. The marine patrol boat had also gotten closer; however, it was further away than the salvage ship.

By now,the waves had picked up,and Elijah Hastings was somewhat worried about the swelling waves that were pushing the motorboat up and down, suggesting:

"Boss, why don’t we just call it a night?"

Sean Knight looked at the rising waves, waved his hand, and said:

"Now is the perfect time. It’s windy and the waves are present but not too big. They won’t expect me to go underwater..."

Without listening to any more persuasion, he put on his diving suit and jumped into the water.

Elijah Hastings felt that there was something in Sean Knight’s words.

As the distance to both the salvage ship and the marine patrol boat was quite far, Sean Knight immediately changed to the underwater propeller once he went underwater and quickly moved towards the salvage ship.

At night, both the salvage ship and the marine patrol boat had their staff resting, except for those on duty.

So, when Sean Knight approached the salvage ship, he was not detected at all.

He took a timed bomb from the spatial realm, set the explosion time for one hour, tied a few hand grenades to it, then stuck them to the bottom of the salvage ship - the engine’s position.

After finishing all this, Sean Knight quickly left.

When he had used half of the underwater propulsion, Sean Knight put it away.

The marine patrol boat was not as careless as the salvage ship. If they detected him on their radar with the propeller, they would probably raise an alarm and defend themselves as soon as possible.

So, Sean Knight planned to swim directly.

In the radar room of the marine patrol boat, the duty officer was staring at the radar screen and recording.

Occasionally, some big fish would pass by, but the duty officer was already used to it since the size of any sea animal such as dolphins, sailfish, large tuna, including sharks and even whales would be this big or even bigger.

So, when the duty officer saw a small bright spot swimming towards the marine patrol boat with a little deviation, he didn’t take it seriously.

His gaze fell on another large ship.

But this ship didn’t come directly towards the marine patrol boat; it merely passed through the waterway and slowly sailed to the harbor on the opposite sea island.

The duty officer recorded this incident and then stood up to stretch lazily.

He didn’t notice the small bright spot on the radar began to turn slowly a few hundred meters away from the marine patrol boat, swimming towards it.

When the duty officer returned to the radar screen after a quick break, the small bright spot had disappeared.

At this point, Sean Knight had already reached the bottom of the patrol boat. He quickly activated the Sky Eye, scanned the critical locations of the marine patrol boat, attached a time bomb with more than ten hand grenades, and then swam away swiftly.

He held a grudge - it was this marine patrol boat that made him spend two more hours in the sea.

So Sean didn’t plan to give up this chance for revenge - even though the waves on the sea were getting rougher.

He knew that after this time, there would probably be no more opportunities.

Originally, Sean planned to blow up the submarine at the bottom of the sea when he returned, but he decided to give it up in the end.

One reason was that he had run out of time bombs, and hand grenades wouldn’t do much. Another reason was that the blast wave would inevitably attract the attention of the salvage ship and the marine patrol. That would easily expose his mission.

Forget about it.

He’d deal with it later.

Sean swam for two kilometers before taking out his propeller again and headed towards the motorboat.

At this time, the waves on the sea surface were already very big.

Elijah Hastings and the others were anxiously waiting on the deck - Lincoln Harrington had already thrown up twice.

Douglas Cooper asked him to go back to the cabin to rest, but Lincoln refused.

He, too, hoped to see Sean return safely as soon as possible.

Although Sean usually treated them as partners, the three of them knew that without him, they would likely not find anything on their treasure hunts.

For instance, during this trip, Sean could spot the clues from Douglas’s video, find the treasure at the bottom of the sea, and obtain the rewards. However, the three of them didn’t notice anything in the video after watching it more than twenty times.

That was the difference.

So, the three knew that without Sean, they might be more exceptional than ordinary people but not by much.

Only by following Sean could they be more useful and wealthier.

The waves grew bigger, and the clouds were getting darker. As the storm approached, the three of them grew anxious as Sean didn’t appear.

"Should I go down and take a look?" Douglas suggested first.

He looked at Elijah for confirmation.

Elijah hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said:

"The boss’s physical condition is actually stronger than both of us. If something happens to him, we can’t find him even if we go down. I’m afraid if you go, and he returns, we’ll have to find you... Let’s wait here!"

Although they understood the reasoning, it was easy to lose their temper when anxious.

This was similar to knowing that a loved one had a terminal illness but still hoping for a miracle, a chance to save them!

"Lincoln, you go start the boat. We’ll be ready anytime, and when the boss comes back, we’ll leave!"

Elijah knew it wasn’t working for the three of them to stand on deck together, so he assigned tasks:

"Douglas, you prepare some hot water and food. The boss will need to wash and eat something when he returns."

"Alright!"

Elijah’s calm demeanor gave Lincoln and Douglas direction and steadiness.

When the two of them left, all the pressure fell on Elijah.

Elijah held onto the railing of the deck as the waves lifted the boat high and then dropped it heavily. He remained still like he was glued to the boat.

His eyes stared fixedly at the sea surface, hoping to see Sean emerge from the water.

Wave after wave struck Elijah, soaking him in salty seawater. He wiped the water from his face and continued to stare at the sea, hoping to see Sean surface.

At this time, Sean was also encountering some trouble.

As he propelled underwater, he couldn’t find his way to the motorboat, so he decided to surface for a look.

As soon as he emerged, a massive wave hit him, almost knocking him unconscious!

Fortunately, at that moment, he spotted the dark shadow of the motorboat, so he quickly dived deep back into the water and swam towards it.

The waves affected ten meters underwater, forcing Sean to dive deeper.

He finally saw the bottom of the motorboat.

He put away the propeller and tried his best to float up.

Elijah finally saw Sean surface, and a wave tossed him high into the air!

The wave crashed towards the motorboat’s hull!

If Sean couldn’t control his direction at this moment, there was a high chance he’d be slammed into the boat - and there was only one outcome!
