Chapter 737: Chapter 455: Not Taking Revenge is Not a Gentleman_3

On the fourth day after arriving on the big island, Robert called.

"Zhu, that bastard Gross who framed you has disappeared."

"Disappeared? Didn’t he die?" Sean Knight asked in return, "I’m hoping for his death!"

"We didn’t see him, nor did we find a body. It vanished into thin air." Robert was actually probing Sean’s attitude. Unable to gauge his bottom line, he continued:

"Some people suspect you did it. You’d better be careful if you come back here."

"Rest assured, that single attack really disappointed me about New York. I won’t go back easily without a reason.

I hope that bastard Gross never gets found, or if he does, let it be just a corpse!"

After Robert hung up, Sean put on his diving gear and jumped off the yacht.

Lana Brown has done an excellent job promoting tourism, and due to the recent easing on face mask restrictions, there are so many people coming to vacation here.

Going abroad requires attention to safety, as some minor incidents can create bigger problems once they reach home.

While they are used to the overall safety and stability of the domestic environment, they encounter zero dollar purchases, real gunfights, long-lost car racing gangs, and house occupiers once they go out.

Such incidents deter many who originally wanted to travel and see the world.

The appearance of the big island has fulfilled many people’s dreams of exploring the sea.

It feels like they have gone abroad, but the security is as good as it is at home, and there is no communication barrier as they mostly meet local people. The beaches are unpolluted, and there is an abundance of seafood.

Simply perfect!

Nowadays, information spreads quickly through multiple channels. Once a short video is taken, many people become aware of the place, and they all want to visit.

Boeing 747s are running daily as the boat would be too slow. The beaches on the island aren’t overcrowded yet, but they are already lively.

Sean doesn’t like the hustle and bustle, so he simply took a yacht out to sea.

Anyway, a large sea area nearby is considered his private property, so he sails around as he pleases.

Now that Robert has called with a satellite phone, it reminded Sean of something.

Gross’s body is still in the spatial realm, and just leaving it there isn’t ideal.

After all, that space contains not only antiques, firearms, gold, and cash but also a large quantity of supplies.

What does it mean to have a corpse inside there?

Sean dives into the sea, searches for an ocean trench on the seafloor, takes out a large piece of reef rock, and ties Gross’s corpse to it.

As soon as he leaves, a large number of marine creatures surround Gross’s body.

Sean estimates that in less than three days, there probably won’t even be any bones left of Gross.

Sean originally didn’t intend to harm Gross.

After all, he is a current Director and on top of that, he is Sean’s opponent.

It would be too easy for others to suspect Sean if he harmed Gross.

But Gross is really bad. He schemed against Sean and even sent someone to assassinate him after the trial!

Just for that, Sean couldn’t let him off.

The main reason for making him disappear was the hope that those investigating wouldn’t become too aggressive and suspect Sean.

After all, it is easier to explain a disappearance.

After dealing with Gross’s body, Sean went to the coral reef. He is now skilled and daring enough to pull out a big moray eel directly and bring it to the surface with a twist.

He and a few people on the yacht have hardly ever had such a thing. Douglas Cooper started searching on his mobile to learn how to cook this thing.

"Boss, this thing must weigh ten to fifteen pounds, right?" Elijah Hastings curiously poked at the wriggling moray eel, which twisted and seemed fierce.

"More or less, around sixteen or seventeen pounds." Sean took off his diving gear. "I’m tired of eating crabs and lobsters. Let’s change the taste."

"Boss, if you say that, people will call you snobbish." Douglas laughed while cleaning the stove.

"I’m telling the truth. Not just me, but also those who come here for a month’s holiday."

Upon returning to the big island, Sean learned that the accommodations for tourists were already fully booked. The Xinjiang Construction Company’s overseas branch had sent more people to continue building on the island.

A variety of accommodations are available for tourists, including luxury hotels, simple hostels, and long-term family suite rooms.

Since the buildings are mostly three-story high, they are built quite quickly and ready for use after a brief period of drying and decorating.

Even then, there’s still a shortage of supply, with rooms booked months in advance.

Sean only met with Lana Brown once after coming back, having a deep conversation late into the night before she got busy again the next day.

Sean is quite satisfied with this way of life. She doesn’t bother him, and there’s no room for unnecessary disputes. Everything is perfect.

Those who get fed up, like Sean mentioned, are the long-term renters staying for more than a month.

They can cook for themselves or have a meal at the island’s dining hall. Authentic Chinese cuisine is available, as well as Indonesian, Filipino, and Malay specialty dishes.

The influx of tourists has caught the attention of nearby fishermen, some of whom have started to sell their catch here and even bring fruits to sell at the port, making it lively.

As it’s so lively, Lana recruited security personnel from China three times already.

Thanks to the endorsement from Sean and the Xinjiang Construction Company, the overseas recruitment is not mistaken for exploitative labor.

Lana hires retired military personnel with high wages and high demands. The main force maintaining order on the island are these veterans.

Following the methods of Xinjiang’s public security, Lana built security guard booths at several hotspots on the island, each served by ten to twenty armed guards.

In addition, seven or eight electric vehicles patrol non-stop. This ensures that the guards can arrive within three to five minutes wherever an issue occurs.

Just this alone leads to a very orderly situation on the island.

At least those who want to cause trouble will think twice before doing so.

Two lifetime troublemakers, who stayed here on vacation and not only stole from others but made disturbances late at night, were caught by security guards and locked in a small dark room.

After half a day, the two came out obediently.
