Chapter 621: Chapter 406: In the End, Blood Relatives Cannot Be Left Behind_2

During dinner, Elijah Hastings called.

"Boss, got things figured out, Douglas’ brother is in trouble."

"What happened?" Upon hearing that Alston Cooper was in trouble, Sean Knight wasn’t too worried. He felt that Alston was a bit off in the head, so getting into trouble was quite normal for him.

"He was scammed into joining an ocean fleet as a sailor."

"Being a sailor’s pretty good, isn’t it?" Sean thought, "It’s better than lazing around at home, isn’t it?"

"No, he was tricked. Someone told him he could earn fifty to eighty thousand per month and basically save all of it, with meals and accommodation provided. He believed it and went."

In reality, they tricked him into becoming a laborer. Forget about fifty to eighty thousand, whether he can get off the boat safely or not is now an issue..."

This was quite problematic.

Sean pondered then asked:

"How about the ship? How long has it been gone?"

"One day," Elijah said, "Douglas’s mother is now clinging on to him demanding he find a solution, even threatening to kill herself in front of him. She is blaming Douglas, saying that if it were not for him, Alston wouldn’t have run away to be scammed..."

Heck, reality is even more absurd than fiction!

But after all, those are Douglas Cooper’s parents, it’s impossible for him to truly abandon them.

Most ex-soldiers overdo the aspect of filial piety.

Perhaps it’s because they’ve dedicated their loyalty to their country during their time in the military, making their understanding of filial piety deeper and somewhat more obsessive.

Sean didn’t have any comment on this, he can only observe Douglas’ situation.

If Douglas intends to rescue Alston and nothing else comes up, Sean wouldn’t mind going with him to check on the situation.

"So, what’s Douglas’ stance?" Sean asked.

"We’ve found him, he said no matter what, Alston is his brother, and he must rescue him."

"Alright, any plans? Notify me when you have a plan, we’ll act together."

That evening, when Elijah called again, a plan was already in place.

"Douglas and Lincoln Harrington would take a ship to the next major port. We guess the ocean-going ship might very likely resupply at that port and continue recruiting there."

"What about us?" Sean asked.

"We’ll fly directly to the furthest south major port. It’s the last stop we can reach and no matter what, the big ship must dock there. If Alston doesn’t get rescued at the previous port, then we’ll have to block them there."

"What if Alston doesn’t disembark?" Sean posed a problem.

"Well... we’ll have to see then."

Sean thought about it and agreed that was the only solution.

A man can’t be helped if he is bent on self-destruction. One may fend them off this time, but foolish people always find ways to court disaster.

"Alright, when will you be back? I’ll book the tickets."

"Let me do it, I’m heading your way." Elijah had predicted that Sean wouldn’t abandon this issue, so he directly stated the plan without seeking Sean’s approval.

When Elijah got back, he brought along Douglas’ gesture of gratitude.

"No need for all the words." After hearing Elijah’s explanation, Sean grumbled, "Let’s go, get there early and head him off, then this matter will be settled."

Due to the urgency, Sean didn’t even have time to chat with the stewardess on the plane before they had reached the southernmost port city.

In this bustling big city that they had never visited before, they didn’t bother to linger and went directly to the port.

Elijah said:

"Boss, you wait here, I’ll go to ask around."

Half an hour later, Elijah returned with the information Sean wanted.

The ocean-going cargo ship was not at the port--However, some staff at the port stated that the ship named Poseidon had reported to the port and would dock there in a day."

"I told them that I’m a staff member on that ship," Elijah explained, "And this information isn’t exactly secret. I paid a little, and got the information."

"All right, we’ll wait here," Sean Knight who knew they had arrived ahead of the cargo ship was not in a rush, "Give Douglas a call to see how they’re doing."

The two of them settled down and then got news from Douglas Cooper.

"When Douglas and his team reached the port, the cargo ship wasn’t there. After inquiring, they found out that the cargo ship didn’t dock at that port and came directly over here," Elijah Hastings said, "They’re rushing over, but without a direct flight, there’s no guarantee they’ll make it in time."

"Then it’s up to us." Sean Knight nodded, speaking honestly, he really didn’t want to deal with Alston Cooper.

After all, Alston Cooper was not very reliable.

The next day, Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings arrived at the port early and waited for the giant cargo ship.

"This cargo ship is reportedly carrying loads of over three thousand tons," Elijah Hastings explained, "It primarily transports containers. It’s part of international trading."

When the two approached the cargo ship, they were stopped by security on board.

"This is a private cargo ship, unauthorized personnel are not allowed on board." The security guard was polite but stern.

"One of my friends is on this cargo ship, I would like to see him," Elijah Hastings quickly explained.

"Then give him a call." The security guard did not let them pass and became more vigilant, "If he can come to get you, that proves your words are true, and only then, you can board."

Disappointed, Elijah Hastings could only dial the number that Douglas Cooper had given him for Alston Cooper.

Of course, he couldn’t get through - the number had been unreachable since Alston boarded the ship.

"Please leave, we’re preparing to depart soon." The security guard urged Sean Knight and his companion.

Without any choice, the two had to leave the cargo ship.

"We don’t have enough time, otherwise, we could have had a chance to sneak on board tonight." Elijah scratched his head, "This is really difficult to handle right now."

The cargo ship was about to leave, Douglas Cooper and his team still hadn’t arrived.

Sean Knight, looking at a yacht not far from the port, suddenly said:

"Elijah, what if I buy a yacht and trail the cargo ship until it stops again, then we can sneak on board to rescue Alston, what do you think?"

"Well ... that definitely seems like a strategy." Elijah’s eyes lit up, as it is, it looks like that’s the only alternative right now.

"Of course, there’s another option. We could figure out the cargo ship’s next stop, then we wait for it there..." Sean went on to say: "However, that would mean going abroad, and nobody can guarantee what might happen..."

"Then it’s better to buy a yacht." Elijah laughed "I imagine Douglas wouldn’t mind buying a yacht - this way, he could say he has done everything in his power to save his brother."

"Let’s go and take care of this!" Sean said, "We have to hurry, we can’t delay."

Because the cargo ship wouldn’t wait, if the yacht’s purchase was delayed and they couldn’t stay close to the cargo ship, all subsequent plans would fail.

Luckily, there were yacht dealers at the port. The two quickly found a place and selected a yacht, then paid for it.

The point was to be fast.

The pretty sales lady who was trying to sell the yacht originally thought of introducing several models - although Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings were dressed modestly, their good looks and charisma led her to decide that further interaction would be welcome.

To her surprise, they just asked to buy a stocked yacht, paid in full, and wanted to be able to complete the paperwork and take it home that same day.

The sales lady was taken aback, apparently, she couldn’t make that decision. However, since they had been served by her, she would get a substantial commission on this deal.

With just this transaction alone, she thought that it wouldn’t be impossible to connect with them more deeply on other matters.

Unfortunately, the two seemed in a hurry, they had no plans to socialize, and didn’t even ask her for her contact details - she was the most beautiful sales lady there and every day people would send her flowers and ask for her contact details.

But she was reserved, and she had never given them out.

And now, unexpectedly...

Naturally, Sean Knight had no idea about the sales lady’s minor grudge. He and Elijah were busy buying supplies, preparing to follow the cargo ship to find a chance to rescue Alston.

As for whether Alston was worth saving, that was another matter - since Douglas Cooper had decided to save him, they naturally wouldn’t back down.

After they had finally restocked and refueled, Sean Knight and his companion discovered that the cargo ship had already departed.

Without waiting for Douglas Cooper and his group, Sean Knight and his companion instantly took off in their yacht to catch up.

After about half an hour out at sea, Sean Knight standing on deck, noticed something appear to fall off the cargo ship.

It looked like a... person?
