Chapter 635: Chapter 413: I’ve Never Seen Someone So Shameless!_2

"Ah, thinking about it, things are better back home." Elijah Hastings sighed on the yacht deck, "Directly abducting people in broad daylight..."

"Maybe it’s just our luck to stumble upon it." Sean Knight guessed, "It can’t really be that chaotic..."

The topic stopped there.

Because of this incident, it resulted in Sean Knight and his team only making brief supply stops at ports along the way, before they reached Malacca.

A large number of ships passed through here. Sean Knight and his team joined the lineup.

However, the yacht was small, so the process of crossing was much longer than for the larger ships.

Lydia Taylor was leaning on the ship’s railings, watching nearby boats from a large ship.

Then she saw a shuttle-like yacht, as well as Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings on the deck.

She could hardly believe her eyes. She rubbed them and looked again, but the yacht had already sailed away.

"Quick, quick! Sandra, I saw the people who rescued us!" Lydia Taylor shouted.

Not only did her shouting get Sandra’s attention, it also attracted quite a few men and women looking at the scenery nearby.

"Where? Where?" Sandra Collins hurried over, "Where are they?"

"On the yacht! I just saw them on a yacht!" Lydia pointed in the direction where the yacht had disappeared, "They’ve left..."

"Are you sure or are you hallucinating?"

"How could I? When he gave me the bread, I had a serious look!" Lydia said earnestly, "That’s definitely them!"

"So they didn’t disappear... they left on a yacht..."

Sandra felt a bit disappointed but also relieved.

When the large ship had arrived near the island earlier and sent out lifeboats to bring them back to the big ship, the personnel in charge of escorting them back were asking who had saved them.

At that time, someone had already boarded the cargo ship, but found that there were no people on it.

There were traces of blood and uncleaned bullet casings, but no one.

There were many speculations, but they needed confirmation.

Finally, they learned the truth from the rescued people’s accounts.

For some unknown reason, Alston Cooper did not reveal his relationship with his brother, Douglas Cooper.

So throughout the whole incident, the relevant personnel didn’t know the identities of their rescuers.

Lydia and the others also found it strange, why did they suddenly disappear?

Now they realized that they had a yacht and they probably had a plan, leaving before the large ship arrived.

Was this staying hidden after accomplishing great things?

Though they thought they might never see them again, they did at this place.

Lydia firmly memorized the model of the yacht and its side number. She felt like it was necessary to look it up.

Not for anything else, but to personally thank them once they return home!

Of course, Sean Knight and the others didn’t know that they had been seen. At this moment, they had already passed through the strait, planning to have a good time in the South Sea, and then return to the Southern Major Port.

In the following days, Sean Knight and his team took breaks exploring the yacht. They enjoyed the scenery along the way, watched the fishermen fishing, the soldiers guarding the islands, and they also delivered supplies to some soldiers stationed at the island.

They also watched how the sand dredging ship operated, noticed that the momentum and the noise it made were truly magnificent.

By the time they reached the major port, it was three days later.

Before they had even disembarked the yacht, Douglas Cooper had received a phone call.

"It’s my mom. My brother probably got home," Seeing the phone number, Douglas laughed and said: "You guys wait for me a moment."

After saying that, he went to the tail end of the yacht to take the call.

Then Sean heard clearly from the other end of the phone, the mother of Douglas roaring:

"Where the hell have you been? Weren’t you going to save your brother? We all believed in you, waiting for your news, and you, you ran off to have some fun. If it weren’t for the large ship that went out to rescue, your brother wouldn’t have made it back..."

After a heap of scolding, Douglas was shocked.

However, he reacted quickly. When his mother stopped, he immediately said:

"The big ship merely escorted my brother back. My brother and his team were rescued by me, my boss, and my comrades. We nearly died trying to save my brother..."

"What are you blabbering about? Your brother came home today. He said it wasn’t you who saved him, but the navy! I know you don’t like your brother but he is your blood brother! Do you have no conscience?"

Douglas held the phone so tightly he was shaking with rage.

He couldn’t fathom how his family could possibly misunderstand the situation so entirely, favoring his brother over him without justification.

He was truly heartbroken.

He initially wanted to argue, but he only ended up saying one thing:

"Mom, if you believe my brother, then whatever I say is pointless. I am hanging up now."

With that, he terminated the call.

Sean Knight, seeing his despair, felt bad for Douglas. As he was about to comfort Douglas, his mobile phone rang again.

Seeing it was his mother again, Douglas reluctantly took the call.

"Douglas Cooper! So you think you’ve grown wings now, huh? Do you dare to hang up on your mother?

What’s wrong with me pointing out a few things? Did I say anything incorrect? Where did all these years of military service of yours go? Special Forces, Special Forces Soldier — nothing ’special’ about you to be seen!

I didn’t see you rescue your brother, did I? If I had known earlier, I never would have let you go to that wretched place..."

"Mom!" Douglas had borne his mother’s words for a while, but when she ridiculed his legion, he could not keep quiet any longer. He screamed,

"Mom! You don’t trust that I rescued Alston Cooper, do you? Right now, go check the Cooper Family group chat. I am posting a few videos. Look at them clearly!

Look closely to see if I am lying or if he is. You don’t know his true nature, do you? Mom! Please stop deceiving yourself! You have all been overly indulgent with Alston..."

"What nonsense are you saying? What ’overly indulgent with Alston’... In what way is Alston not superior to you? He’s more filial, more capable..."

Douglas felt hopeless. He simply replied,

"Mom, look at what I have posted in the group chat."

After saying that, he hung up again.

Seeing Douglas in despair, sitting listlessly on the deck, wiping his eyes and starting to fiddle with his phone, Sean did not know how to console him.

Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington went over and sat on either side of Douglas.

Elijah patted Douglas’s shoulder and said,

"We shouldn’t really comment on this matter. But given the circumstances, perhaps you should visit home less frequently in the future. If you want to show filial piety, just send some money home. This issue won’t be resolved in a short while..."

The ancients said, ’there are no bad parents in the world...’ but even they could be wrong sometimes..." Lincoln sighed, "It should be ’there are few parents in the world who don’t play favorites’..."

Douglas forced a smile and said,

"Okay, okay, I’m not that fragile..."

He lowered his head, his voice low and somber,

"I’ve made it this far, over so many years ..."

At this moment, his phone rang again.

Seeing it was his mother’s number, a spark of hope flashed in Douglas’s eyes. Sean guessed that he hoped his mother would’ve seen the videos he had uploaded and believe him for once.

Believe that it was he who had saved his brother, believe in his abilities.

Upon answering the call, he was met yet again with his mother’s scolding:

"Douglas Cooper! You should quickly take down those videos! And, oh right, that audio file too! You don’t want your brother to face the relatives anymore, do you? Take it down quickly; otherwise, I won’t acknowledge you as my son!"

Douglas was speechless; he lowered his head, ended the call, and started to delete the videos and the audio recordings.

Elijah Hastings asked while sitting next to him,

"What videos did you post?"

"A video of myself rescuing Alston from the single-story house, and audio of the moment when he exposed Licoln and me while we were sneaking into the cargo ship."

Douglas Cooper said with a bitter smile,

"At that time, I had a hunch, so I unconsciously recorded it. Little did I know..."

"Why did you delete them? Let your relatives see what kind of person your brother is, don’t let them always misunderstand you." Elijah indignantly said.

"It doesn’t matter." After Douglas deleted the audio and video, he shook his head, "It doesn’t matter anymore... No one here cares about me..."

"Who says no one does?" Elijah embraced his shoulder and said, "Look, we care, and Sean, how about you?"

"Of course, I care!" Sean Knight came over and said with a smile, "I can’t wait for your family to disown you, so I can take you back to my home..."

Douglas laughed, and a warm sentiment started swelling inside him.

Yes, some people do care.
