Chapter 620: Chapter 406: In the End, Blood Relatives Cannot Be Left Behind

In a blink of an eye, Sean Knight was thrown to the highest point by the waves, and if nothing unexpected happened next, he would directly slapped on the deck. Elijah Hastings’s heart was raised to his throat!

At this moment, even if he wanted to jump to help, it was impossible, as he needed to hold the railing tightly to stand still!

Then he saw an astonishing scene: when Sean was in the air, he had already unbuckled the straps of the oxygen cylinder on his back. Taking advantage of the high waves, he directly shook off the oxygen cylinder and his body was immediately freed.

And just when the huge inertia was about to smash him onto the side of the boat, Sean had already reached out his hand and tried to grab the railing of the boat, then using the inertia, he twisted his body, flipped over the railing, and fell heavily on the deck!

Elijah quickly went over to pull him up, but a wave lifted the bow of the boat, causing both of them to lose their balance, and together they slid towards the stern.

Fortunately, they were already on the deck, so things were much better. Both reacted quickly, grabbing the net ropes on the deck and securing themselves.

By the time both of them darted back to the ship cabin using the momentum of the falling waves, Elijah’s heart finally settled down.

He asked with concern:

"Boss, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, let’s get the boat back now!"

Just now, the thrilling escape from death did not affect Sean’s good mood. He wiped his face and spat out a mouthful of seawater, saying:

"Let’s hurry back to the port in the dark! This mission is over."

"That’s great!" Elijah’s face showed a trace of joy, but he knew that the most important thing now was to get the boat back in this storm.

Since Sean was back, Elijah went to replace Douglas Cooper’s work, letting Douglas and Lincoln Harrington drive the boat out of the storm together.

In these waves, Sean had no way to clean up properly, so he just wiped his face and ate some food haphazardly before going to the cockpit.

Elijah was also there— the three of them were discussing how to get the boat back.

Sean looked at the time and it should be about right on the other side.

However, the noise of the wind and waves outside was too loud, so even if there was any sound, they couldn’t hear it.

The four of them worked hard together and finally managed to slowly return the motorboat to the port.

By then, the sky was already bright.

Seeing them return the boat at this time, George Conner was extremely surprised.

He braved the rain and helped Sean and others secure the boat, then invited them into his administration office and poured hot tea before saying:

"I thought you guys had already hidden in another port— how could you still be at sea in such weather? It’s really reckless!"

Drinking hot tea, Sean laughed and said:

"Fortune favors the bold, right? Without risks, there’s no way we can make big money, right?"

"That’s true!" George agreed with a nod, "So this trip... oh, I’m being nosy."

"No big deal. I guess we made about a boat this time!" Sean ambiguously replied.

"That’s not bad at all!" George looked at the motorboat outside and thought about making several hundred thousand dollars in a few days. It’s really incredible!

Many people don’t even make that much income in a year!

Of course, he didn’t know that the boat Sean mentioned was a luxury yacht.

After the rain stopped, the four men left the port. Under George’s waving goodbye, they returned to the hotel in the city.

"The mission is over." Sean Knight called Elijah and the others to his suite and said, "You can take a break and have some free time..."

Before he could finish speaking, Douglas’s mobile phone rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was a call, and apologized to Sean before going out to answer it.

Sean stopped then. The following words were meant to be spoken to all three of them.

Two minutes later, Douglas came back in with a gloomy face and told Sean:

"Boss, since the mission is over, I’ll go back..."

"What’s wrong?" Sean saw that something was off about his face and asked, "Is there something wrong at home? We’re all here now, so if there’s any problem, it’s better to discuss it together."

"No problem..." Douglas forced a smile and said, "I can handle it, so, boss, I’ll go first."

Seeing Douglas’s hurry, Sean was suspicious, but it wasn’t the right time to ask, so he said:

"Alright, go and get busy. If you have any difficulties, call us in time."

"Okay." Douglas replied and waved to Elijah and Lincoln before hurriedly leaving.

"Boss, I think there must be an emergency in Douglas’s situation." Elijah looked at Douglas’s retreating figure and commented.

"That’s not even a question." Lincoln replied, "Do you want to help?"

Elijah and Lincoln looked at Sean.

"Then you two follow him and find out the situation." Sean said, "We’re all in this together. We can’t just stand by if something really happens. That would probably make you guys feel uncomfortable too."

"Alright." Elijah and Lincoln immediately followed him.

Having almost lost his life in the sea, Sean didn’t intend to go out after returning to the hotel. He turned on the television.

Then he saw the news.

The solemn-faced host announced that a salvage ship and a maritime patrol boat had been lost in this storm, and the situation of the personnel was unknown.

Sean raised his eyebrows, but his heart remained calm.

After watching TV for a while, Sean turned it off and sat on the bed, studying the Imperial Jade Seal again.

He knew that there was a large amount of energy inside the Jade Seal, but he just couldn’t absorb it.

It was quite frustrating.

Sean didn’t intend to go out for lunch, so he ordered takeout food and stayed in the hotel.
