Chapter 639: Chapter 415: High-end hunters often appear in the form of their prey! (2)_2

Elijah Hastings spotted David Hawking still on the deck of the motorboat, looking in their direction, and immediately shouted:

"Boss Hawking, what’s the meaning of this? Is the money I gave you not enough? If you think it’s too little, we can negotiate. What’s the meaning of these two boats?"

Feeling safe within the distance, David Hawking loudly replied:

"Boss Hastings, don’t blame me. I’m just doing business. Who asked you to offend someone you shouldn’t have? This time, you’re going to have to fend for yourselves!"

Having said that, he quickly retreated into the cabin of his motorboat. In no time at all, the boat sailed off into the distance and soon disappeared on the sea surface.

At this moment, the two speedboats hemming in Sean Knight’s yacht had come another ten or so meters closer.

Elijah Hastings recognized these speedboats. He soon realized that they were military missile boats, but the missile racks had been dismounted and the empty spaces were covered with cloth.

Looking at them, Sean guessed they must be machine guns!

This guy, he’s playing a big game!

However, Elijah Hastings was not afraid or worried, he went into the ship’s cabin and briefly explained the situation.

At that moment, a harsh voice came from outside:

"You are surrounded, come out! Otherwise, don’t blame our weapons for not showing mercy!"

Despite the harsh voice, the speaker was quite articulate. Sean and Elijah went onto the deck.

The speedboats were about the same height as the yacht but significantly longer. At the moment, there were four to five armed men standing on both sides.

They were all on guard against Sean and the rest, but when they saw Sean and Elijah coming out unarmed, they noticeably relaxed.

The speaker was on the speedboat to the right of the yacht. Presently, he was holding an automatic rifle. Upon seeing Sean, he shouted:

"Sean Knight, surrender! Come with us —"

"Who are you? How do you know me? Why should I go with you? I don’t remember offending you!"

Sean’s voice sounded somewhat forcibly composed, but a hint of fear could still be detected.

Thus, the men on the speedboat shouted arrogantly:

"Didn’t you act so boldly before? You dared to hijack our goods! Now, it’s time for you to compensate us!

Of course, our boss wants you to apologize to him personally! Compensate for his losses! Otherwise, you and your followers only have one path, and that is death!"

Hearing the arrogant words from the other side, Sean nearly figured it out. It turned out that the men and women transported on the cargo ship were the goods demanded by the boss of the speedboats!

Heh!

I didn’t trouble you, yet you came looking for mine!

At this moment, Sean felt a certain saying was particularly applicable:

Effortlessly gaining what one has searched for!

After rescuing those men and women, Sean had been on guard against someone making a move against him.

After all, the interest involved in more than three hundred people was terrifyingly huge, and the puppet master behind the scenes obviously didn’t want the truth to be revealed.

Therefore, taking revenge on him was inevitable.

The situation was like a sword hanging over his head, not knowing when it would fall.

Such a situation was the most troublesome.

As the thorn in his back!

Now that these people have taken the initiative to come here, Sean suddenly felt relieved.

Since they are enemies, there is no need to show mercy!

However, Sean still hoped to find out more about the situation. He glanced at Elijah, then loudly said:

"If you want me to apologize to your boss, at least let me know who your boss is, right? Even if I die, I should know why, shouldn’t I?"

"You don’t need to know now! Just follow us, and we will naturally take you to meet our boss!

Okay, we’re coming over now. First, throw your weapons into the sea, and then sit patiently waiting for our men!

I advise you not to play tricks!"

As the man spoke, he swiftly ripped off the cloth covering the speedboat, revealing a mounted anti-aircraft machine gun, and said smugly:

"Otherwise, this thing can split your yacht in half!"

A 12.7mm caliber anti-aircraft machine gun was still in a vertical position at this moment, but Sean knew that when it was fired horizontally, it really could split his yacht in half—

After all, the yacht was made of lightweight material, it wasn’t bulletproof and couldn’t compare with a speedboat.

Of course, a speedboat was no battleship either, defending against certain weapons was simply impossible.

Having said that, the speedboat slowly adjusted its direction, planning to move closer to the yacht.

Sean knew there was no need to fish for further intelligence, the other party was very cautious and had no intention of revealing anything.

Well then, let’s fight to the death!

With a seemingly magical sleight of hand, he produced an automatic rifle and began to fire at the several individuals in front of him!

Just then, Lincoln Harrington emerged on the deck and started shooting at another speedboat.

The people on the two speedboats immediately took cover and planned a counterattack. However, what they saw next turned their blood cold!

Two men halfway crouched in different positions on the yacht, shouldering man-portable rockets. After a brief aim at the speedboats, they launched their rockets!

The rockets, trailing a long tail flame, flew towards the speedboats as Elijah Hastings and Douglas Cooper, discarded their launch tubes and picked up automatic rifles, aiming at the two speedboats.

The people on the speedboats no longer had any desire to fight back; they jumped into the sea one after another!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In the successive explosions, one speedboat was blown into two segments, while the other seemed to have detonated something and burst into pieces, instantly engulfed in flames!

Innumerable fragments scattered in all directions, and quite a few even reached the yacht.

Sean Knight and his crew quickly hit the deck to dodge the flying pieces.

However, the yacht was quite damaged, but that was the least of Sean’s worries at the moment.

After the explosions, the four men got up immediately and aimed their rifles at the sea.

A good number of people had jumped into the sea just now, and Sean thought they could capture a few alive.

The torn speedboat had already sunk. However, there were quite a few fragments from the blown-up speedboat still floating on the sea surface.

Sean, with hawk-eyes, immediately noticed two people who were swimming desperately.

One of them was the man who was yelling earlier.

Sean smiled.

The man who was once so arrogant was now equally miserable!

Driving the yacht over to him and pointing a gun at him, Sean said with a cold smile:

"Have anything to say now?"

"What do you want?" The man looked up at Sean on the deck and asked, "How can I live?"

"Pay the right price," Sean coldly replied.

"Give me the name of your boss and any valuable information you can provide."

Elijah dropped a rope, hauling the two men up.

Once they were aboard, their hands and feet were bound.

"You can stay silent if you want, but I won’t hesitate to draw some blood and toss you back into the sea. I suspect many creatures down there would find you rather appealing."

His words instantly brought a look of fear to the man’s face.

Sean thought to himself, good that he knows fear!

Faced with the choice of life and death, the man caved in.

"I am Loachie Campbell, from the Southeast Peninsula, working for boss Chris —"

"A white person?" Sean frowned.

"No, mixed race. My father is a white man and my mother is from Central Sunan. They run two casinos, a factory, and a company in Northern Myanmar."

Sean understood at once.

"Because my boss urgently needed this batch of goods, but you intercepted his man, so Chris was very angry. He sent us to lead you here, planning to kidnap you...Furthermore, he also sent some people to your hometown..."

When Sean heard that someone had been sent to his hometown, he became a bit anxious.

He ignored Loachie for the moment, took out his satellite phone, and dialed home.

"Hey, big brother..." The call got through, and upon hearing the voice on the other end, Sean asked his brother Oscar Knight:

"Is everything okay at home?"

"It’s fine, everything’s good. Everybody’s good, don’t worry..."

"I offended a person who claims to have sent people to my hometown..."

"You already know? Well, don’t worry. Some people did come, but they were caught before they could reach the village." Oscar laughed and continued:

"Three people, they have been sent to the Public Security Bureau now..."

"That’s good, that’s good. You guys be careful..."

Sean was visibly relieved.

"Don’t worry! No one can touch us in our territory—we received rewards from the government. The informant received 5,000 this time and was thrilled. So I presume that any strangers who come will probably not be able to reach the village..."

Hearing this, Sean finally relaxed. He spoke a few more words before hanging up.

Then he turned to continue the questioning.
