Chapter 634: Chapter 413: I’ve Never Seen Someone So Shameless!

Douglas Cooper didn’t take Alston Cooper with him, which Sean Knight had anticipated.

Considering Alston’s personality, if he had returned with the yacht, there was no telling what kind of trouble he would stir up.

Moreover, Sean Knight and his companions had all their documents in order, but Alston didn’t. Once he got on the cargo ship, his things were confiscated, and Sean Knight and his team couldn’t recover them.

Not just his, the ID documents of the other men and women weren’t found either.

This trip was intended as a rescue mission. Originally, they hadn’t expected any rewards at all.

Not every journey needs to yield something in return.

But to Sean Knight’s surprise, they stumbled upon a treasure and obtained a large quantity of gold coins while rescuing some people casually - a blessing in disguise, indeed!

Not only Sean Knight himself made a profit. Elijah Hastings and his two companions seemed satisfied too. From the surface, they might look indifferent, but they were quite excited.

It was understandable, after all, they had saved hundreds of lives!

Serving the people had been their purpose while they were in the army.

Though they had undertaken such a significant rescue mission now, which might always remain undisclosed, they knew it. The sense of pride inside them was too hard to conceal.

Though Sean had never served as a soldier, he could understand their feelings. Therefore, he told them:

"We’ve accomplished our mission, our rescue is done, now they are aboard that large ship, much safer than us. We’ve made a considerable contribution this time. Let’s head to the nearest port. I’ll treat you all!

"No, no, no, boss, I must treat you all this time," Douglas Cooper said hurriedly, "You guys came to help me. Without me, none of you would be involved in this mess.

I’ll treat you all. Let it be settled! Boss, please give me this opportunity!"

"All right, alright, it doesn’t matter who treats us, let’s go. Come on!" All four of them were satisfied and headed directly to the nearest port.

The port was in a country on the north side of the island. To be honest, in the past, many people used to have a positive view of this country.

But in the last two years, there had been so many negative reports that people from our country were usually afraid to come.

However, they didn’t worry about being in the Southern Harbor City.

After docking at the port, they found a hotel in Port City to stay in.

After freshening up, they started looking for local specialty cuisine, feasted, and then began to wander around.

Despite being foreigners, these four were confident. Now, the streets were mostly occupied by locals and some white people.

It was rare to see people like Sean Knight who were clearly from the mainland region.

While they wandered to the urban fringe, the crowd became more diverse. Cars reduced in number, replaced by motorcycles and electric tricycles, many of which were made in China.

With the noise of the traffic and fewer people speaking English and Mandarin, Sean Knight and his companions decided to wander back.

That’s when a pickup truck rushed towards them, screeching to a halt just in front of them.

Being highly alert, they immediately stepped back, with their hands already reaching towards their waists.

Four young men with Type 56 rifles in their hands jumped off the pickup truck. They shouted at the people around in the local language.

The people nearby instantly recoiled, clearing a large space.

Two of them aimed their guns at Sean Knight and his group and said half-fluently in Mandarin:

"You guys, your papers are incomplete, come with us!"

Sean Knight was stunned. This place was really that chaotic!

Robbing people in broad daylight!

But he began to understand. His group had walked to the urban fringe where things were quite remote.

If they weren’t in such a remote area, these four armed guys wouldn’t be so aggressive and reckless.

However, Elijah Hastings and his companions would not indulge these four men. They were all armed on their way here. Besides, looking at those several 17-18-year-old boys’ clumsy movements, they didn’t take them too seriously.

"All our papers are in order. You’ve got the wrong people," Elijah Hastings stated firmly, "We don’t want to cause trouble, but we aren’t afraid to face it!"

The youth did not expect Elijah Hastings and his team to refute them even in the face of their submachine guns. Stunned for a moment, he got mad and started shooting the Type 56 rifle into the sky.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, people near and around retreated even further, but they didn’t disperse.

Apparently, such a scene was not new for them!

The boy then pointed his gun at Sean Knight and his companions.

The other two didn’t come over, apparently believing that his companions could handle the situation.

Then, something unfortunate happened for them!

Sean Knight and his companions, with clear understanding among themselves, drew their pistols with silencers. Before their adversaries could react, each of them fell with a single shot.

Elijah Hastings, who was the quickest to take action, didn’t pause after shooting. He sprang towards the pickup truck, shot the driver down, holstered his gun, and, blending in the chaotic crowd with Sean Knight and his companions, he disappeared.

They couldn’t stay here anymore.

Not only Sean Knight and his group knew that, but the locals also understood.

Earlier, when the people from the pickup truck came to kidnap someone, the people around didn’t think much of it. But when four men were shot, the people around froze for a moment. Then they panicked and began to scatter in all directions!

Things had escalated!

Sean and his team also guessed what might happen next. They didn’t even return to their hotel. They went straight to the port, boarded the yacht, and departed.

Mere ten or so minutes after their yacht left the port, a large number of personnel first went to their hotel and then came to the port, only to find that the yacht was already far away.
