Chapter 749: Chapter 459: This cunning one has been fooled by his own cunning!_3

"So you’re suggesting... recruiting more?" Lana Brown’s eyes lit up, "A maritime guard?"

"What guard? It’s just a patrol." Sean Knight casually slid his hand into Lana Brown’s shirt and gently stroked it.

"I plan to buy some speedboats for now. During the next Zhuhai Air Show, I’ll pick up some export equipment. We can’t buy 052D, but we can get some Type 022 Missile Fast Boats, right?"

Of course, using the Type 022 Missile Fast Boat here is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

But who can blame Sean Knight for having not only an island but also a sea?

Since watching old movies from the last century, Sean Knight has been habitually suffering from firepower deficiency syndrome.

The more the merrier when it comes to firepower!

"Alright! I’ll take care of the recruitment." As Lana Brown coped with Sean Knight’s wandering hands, she gasped out,

"We already have a recruitment office on the island. One phone call and we’ll have a bunch of naval veterans."

"Great!" Sean Knight nodded, "The sooner, the better. There are plenty of goodies in our sea, currently, water sports enthusiasts don’t venture into deep waters yet.

But with time, once they figure it out, we would suffer heavy losses!"

Lana Brown saw this island as her home. Aside from Sean Knight, in her subconscious mind, even Sean’s legitimate girlfriends wouldn’t dare to snatch it.

On hearing the potential for loss, she no longer paid attention to Sean Knight’s roaming hands and immediately stood up, saying,

"I’m going to make the call now!"

Sean Knight watched this woman in a daze, murmuring after a while,

"This woman... changes face faster than flipping through a book!"

When Sean Knight was there, Lana Brown basically stayed with him all the time. Even if there were work matters, they would be resolved there.

Fortunately, everything on the island is now on track, and the people Lana Brown brought in are very competent, and minor issues are basically solved.

Now, everyone knows Sean Knight is not always there, so Lana rarely has time to accompany Sean Knight. If it’s not urgent, they wouldn’t disturb right couple.

During dinner, Elijah Hastings reported to Sean Knight that they would act in the latter half of the night.

Lana Brown was aware of this; it was through her that Elijah Hastings obtained Beckett Drake’s accommodation information.

So after Elijah Hastings and the others left, Lana Brown served food while asking Sean Knight:

"What’s Beckett Drake’s background? What did he do?"

"He deliberately approached us. Not sure what trick he’s up to, but most likely it’s related to the plane crash a few days ago." While enjoying the meal service from the beautiful girl, Sean Knight responded:

"Plus, I always find this Beckett Drake guy strange."

"Are there any flaws?" In Lana Brown’s eyes, Sean Knight is a formidable person, so she immediately became interested when Sean Knight mentioned this.

"Well, at a cursory glance, it doesn’t seem like there are any flaws." As Sean Knight ate and spoke, his voice was a bit indistinct, "But he’s too normal, he feels too much like a Chinese person, which is actually abnormal."

Sean thought about it and said:

"That’s right, his generosity is a bit deliberate. It’s not the same as the natural generosity of the northerners.

Of course, not all northerners are inherently generous, but you would understand when you see that type of generosity. But Beckett Drake’s —— Although it has become a habit, it feels like there are still traces of imitation."

With a cold laugh, he continued:

"The name ’Beckett Drake’ is the biggest flaw."

"What’s wrong with the name Beckett Drake?" Lana Brown asked, puzzled:

"Although I don’t know classical text very well, I’m aware of the gist of ’Beckett Drake’!"

"Hehe." Sean Knight smiled and touched Lana Brown’s back, saying:

"It seems that your cultural accomplishments are quite high."

"No, not at all." Lana Brown shyly said: "Because of family issues in the Beautiful Country, I despised that country a lot.

I also despised my identity. I always felt that Chinese People were so impressive and wonderful — I wish I was Chinese. So, I studied a bit..."

"Hmm, many of our ancestors were indeed very impressive." Sean Knight agreed with this point, "However, I find this name suspicious because I read a book that today’s young people may not have heard of."

"What novel?" Lana Brown perked up, she wanted to know about everything that interested Sean.

"’Heroine of the Old Capital’." Sean Knight said, "You definitely haven’t read it, it’s an old novel. It’s definitely out of print now; if you want to find it, you’ll have to dig through the old book section in the library."

"It might be online?" Lana Brown disagreed, with such an advanced network technology nowadays, even centuries-old books can be uploaded, let alone a novel from a few decades ago?

"Even if it’s available, no one would read it." Sean Knight shook his head, "It’s no longer relevant to the young people of today."

"What’s the story about?" Lana Brown, being a clever girl, took a different approach and asked about the plot to the novel.

"During the Republic of China period, a female college student was tricked and insulted by foreigners before being killed. Her sister organized an armed group to target these foreigners.

This involves anti-Japanese events, and a high-ranking officer of the Japanese Pirates at that time, who admired Chinese culture, chose Beckett Drake as his Chinese name because.."

"Are you saying that this Beckett Drake is Japanese?" Lana Brown was surprised.

"That’s my guess." Sean Knight nodded, "Actually, when he first introduced himself, I had my suspicions. But he disguised it well, so I didn’t pay much attention.

If he hadn’t arranged the subsequent encounters, I might have put this matter aside. But the encounters later on were too intentional, and my suspicion grew. With such comparison, I feel he might be a problem."

Lana Brown understood, her paused movements continued, she peeled a shrimp, dipped it in vinegar, and fed it to Sean Knight.

Sean Knight ate the shrimp and said:

"Elijah Hastings and the others should be on their way to carry out the mission now, I wonder if it will go smoothly..."
