Chapter 953: 530

After the discussion was settled, Sean Knight made a phone call to Douglas Cooper.

"Boss, you have orders?" Douglas Cooper said with a laugh, "I’m quite free right now."

"There’s this one thing; I’m not sure if you’d be interested."

Sean briefly introduced Clarence Hughes’s matter to him.

"No problem at all! We’ve been to that place—I was actually thinking of going again if there was a chance."

At that moment, Douglas was dining with Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington, planning to leave after the meal.

As a result of Sean’s phone call, both Elijah and Lincoln overheard the conversation.

"The boss gave you a new mission?" Elijah put down his chopsticks and asked.

"It’s not really a mission, just seeking my opinion. I don’t have to go," Douglas covered the Mobile Phone, a look of pride on his face.

"So, are you going?" Lincoln suddenly asked, "If you’re not going, tell the boss I’ll go."

"Go! Why wouldn’t I go?" Upon hearing Lincoln’s words, Douglas immediately became anxious, "You have a girlfriend to accompany, Captain Hastings has a wife to accompany, and I’m free. I’m definitely going! Who knows, maybe I’ll even find some treasure..."

"Tell the boss we’re going too," Elijah said to Douglas, "Is the boss not going himself?"

Douglas moved his hand from the receiver and asked,

"Boss, are you going? Captain Hastings and Lincoln are all here, and they say they want to go too..."

Sean thought it was a good idea, after all, having someone to look out for each other—and decided,

"Okay, you all go together. I’ll give you Principal Miller’s contact information. Rest for the next few days, and he’ll get in touch with you after that.

By the way, be careful when you’re over there, and contact me immediately if anything happens."

Having hung up the call, the Waiter had already brought the food to the table, following Howard Richardson’s orders.

At this time, Sean explained to Clarence Hughes,

"These brothers of mine just returned from handling some matters in Japan. The trip was pretty tough, so they need to rest for two days."

"Understandable," Clarence nodded. He didn’t inquire what Elijah and the others had gone to do. Still, he guessed they might have gone on a treasure hunt.

Howard had no such reservations; while serving the vegetables to Sean, he asked,

"Did you find any good items this trip? When will you show them?"

"This trip was mainly about finding a place, didn’t really look for items." Sean vaguely replied, "Got some small items, but I think with Uncle Melvin’s stuff, you wouldn’t be interested."

Seeing that Sean didn’t want to talk much about it, Howard didn’t press further.

After the meal, Sean gave Clarence Hughes Elijah’s number and left the place.

Having stayed in his Hometown for half a month, he then took a private jet to Big Island.

Lana Brown was very happy to see Sean but still reported the commercial situation on the island and the Wood processing factory that had already started operations there.

"Thanks to the Wood you got from the Indians, our first batch of Wooden handicrafts and Furniture has opened up the Market. Now we have orders queued up for Two years."

The look Lana gave Sean was filled with love and admiration. Sean casually laid out plans that could open up a new path for business, and more importantly, they were very profitable—she knew that the Wood Sean had earned this time cost almost nothing besides freight.

Such a deal!

Even if the cost of shipping to Big Island was daunting, the increase in costs wasn’t much, considering the Market price of old mountain sandalwood.

Thus, another source of revenue was added to Big Island.

Although the Money was Sean’s, by allowing Lana to manage it on his behalf, she felt an immense sense of trust.

"I’m planning to send an additional twenty armed security personnel when we ship the Wood," Lana said after engaging in some intimate activities with Sean, all while catching her breath, "Because old mountain sandalwood is so pricey and it’s hard to come by good quality on the Market, we virtually have a monopoly, and there are a lot who are envious..."

"Then don’t be so stingy. Send 100 security personnel over," Sean said, holding Lana close, "Recruit some more people domestically. Those who work as security guards don’t get paid much and aren’t valued; it’s a waste of their talent.

Here, we can offer better wages and treatment, and they’ll work diligently for us."

"Your wish is my command," Lana conceded, listening to Sean’s strong heartbeat without any dispute.

After spending a few days on the island living like an old man, Sean then flew to New York.

This time it was a secret trip, not aboard his private jet.

People in New York had already begun to harbor resentment against Asians like Sean. Sean had to be extra cautious—after all, a wise man does not stand under a shaky wall, and as the son of a wealthy family, he knew the principle of not inviting danger.

Although Joanna Davis made the occasional phone call or sent a Video to Sean, women in Europe and America tend to be more independent. So even though Sean occasionally left and only sometimes could return, Joanna was quite understanding.

Given the current international situation, Lighthouse Nation was hostile toward China. With Sean’s wealth and his actions implying his political leanings, the Americans would inevitably move against him.

Since it was dangerous for Sean to stay, Joanna would not selfishly ask Sean to return often due to her own desires.

And since her career was based there, it was inevitable for the two of them to spend more time apart than together.
