CHAPTER 1503: CHAPTER 716: AN UNEXPECTED TWIST_2

Based on the intelligence known so far, some genes possessed by these monsters are highly related to solving several genetic diseases that currently afflict humanity, including some conjectures proposed by scientific researchers.

Therefore, we are in urgent need of obtaining the tissue composition of these monsters. However, since we received the information relatively late and it’s too late to join in, we had to come to you."

Sean Knight thought to himself, could it be that they knew all along that I had kept the bodies of the monsters?

But what Jason Woods said next surprised Sean Knight:

"Mr. Knight, I know you have some connection with the Swedish Royal Family. This science expedition was actually initiated by Sweden. However, later on, UK and US institutions joined. So, I hope you can get us some specimens or something like blood from the Swedish side..."

Sean Knight pondered for a moment, thinking about how to respond.

"...Of course, we wouldn’t expect Mr. Knight to make this trip for nothing. We will purchase these specimens at a fair price." The other party was very polite and did not apply pressure with lofty ideals, which made Sean Knight feel quite favorably disposed towards them.

After all, some people nowadays expect to wield their little bit of power whenever they can. Even community volunteers or security guards at certain places might take the opportunity to exert a little control over people coming to them for help.

It’s as if not using that bit of power to trouble others would be a disservice to their position.

These two individuals could contact him through Curator Joseph Davis, so their standing was naturally not low. But they were polite and clear with their requests, which made Sean Knight believe that even if he refused, they wouldn’t make things difficult.

However, he saw no need to refuse, so he said:

"Jason..." He paused mid-sentence, unsure of how to address him.

"Just call me Mr. Ward," Jason Woods said with a smile.

"All right then. I want to ask, are you only interested in specimens of that monster?"

"Yes."

"You don’t need to be involved in their research?"

"No need," Jason Woods confidently asserted, "If it were before, we would naturally hope to join in.

Now, firstly, our country’s bioscientific advancement has progressed rapidly. Although we are not at the world’s top level, we are not far behind them. Secondly, they are naturally wary of us, so having the specimens is sufficient... Of course, the more, the better."

"Okay then, come and get them," Sean Knight said, "There’s no need to go through them. I have some on hand right now."

In any case, Elijah Hastings and the other two weren’t in the cabin right now, and whatever he did, there wouldn’t be any problems.

"Really? That’s great!" Jason Woods exclaimed excitedly, "Mr. Knight, where are you now? Oh, and based on the Black Market price for these monster specimens, it’s 10,000 US dollars per gram..."

"What? That expensive?" Sean Knight was taken aback!

"Because this is a completely new and unknown creature that bears a great resemblance to humans, it is of great research value. Since the news leaked, many private research facilities have been seeking specimens, but they are quite hard to come by..."

"I remember in that cave, we killed quite a few, didn’t we?" Sean Knight speculated, thinking that since there was no harm, he might as well leak this information directly.

"I’m not sure. The information we got is that the scientific expedition team didn’t obtain many specimens from the Mountain Cave. It is said that a large-scale explosion happened in there.

And because the cave is a volcanic cavern in a karst formation, its structure is very unstable. After the explosion, they only found an incomplete body."

"A body?"

Sean Knight found this very odd.

That day in the Mountain Cave, they killed at least forty or fifty of those monsters, right?

How could there be just one?

"A large collapse occurred inside the cave, and the expedition team called in people to excavate it; they expect to dig out some more."

There you go!

"I’m currently offshore Norway. If you’re free, come find me here. Just contact me once you reach international waters."

"About the price... Mr. Knight, could you weigh them first so we can prepare?" The other side, seeing Sean Knight so straightforward, immediately asked, "Please rest assured, Mr. Knight, we trust you and can transfer the money in advance."

"No need, no need," Sean Knight said with a laugh, "I’ve been overseas for many years and haven’t really contributed to my country, so consider this my donation. No money needed, but as for the item... how about an entire arm and hand?"

"A whole arm?" Jason Woods was momentarily stunned.

"Yes, the most terrifying part of that monster lies in its long hands and claws, which are as sharp as daggers..."

"That’s great. However, we will definitely still have to pay..."

"No need, no need," Sean Knight waved his hand, "I’m not short of money, this is a simple favor. Alright, when your guys arrive, contact me first, and then provide me with the counterpart’s contact information to ensure it’s safe."

10,000 US dollars per gram!

An arm weighs two to three kilograms, so that’s twenty to thirty million US dollars!

This...

Sean Knight didn’t truly think he had too much money; he had two bodies in his spatial realm!

Anyway, since others had already found the monster’s body, could he give one arm to the country and sell the rest?

At that thought, Sean Knight’s heart raced!

Just these two bodies, over a hundred kilograms, if sold, would bring in over one billion US dollars!

However, upon reflection, he decided to give the arm away first.

Sean Knight took the monster’s body out of his spatial realm, chopped off an arm, placed it in a box he took out from the same space, and then returned everything back to his spatial realm.

After cleaning up the cabin, Sean Knight returned to the driver’s cockpit.

At this moment, the yacht had already left Norwegian waters and entered international waters.

"Boss, are we heading straight to the sea area from yesterday?" Elijah Hastings asked.

"Let’s go take a look," Sean Knight said, "I want to see just how many of those boats that were tailing us are still around."

What he mainly hoped for was to find fewer boats there, which would increase the likelihood of successfully securing the Bronze Dragon from the submarine into his spatial realm.

The yacht soon arrived at the sea area from the day before, and Sean Knight saw that there were half as many boats nearby as there had been yesterday.

However, the salvage ship was still there, and it seemed from the look of the deck that they had made some finds.

But using Sky Eye, Sean Knight saw that the deck mainly had pieces of wreckage from the sunken ship and no trace of the submarine.

Sean Knight felt relieved, remembering that when he came over yesterday, there did indeed seem to be sunken ships nearby. However, since there was nothing valuable inside them, Sean Knight had merely glanced before moving on.

The salvage boat also noticed the yacht, and people on the deck were using telescopes to look in their direction.

Sean Knight took a quick look without further attention and directed Elijah Hastings to adjust the course:

"Turn right a bit. Yes, keep this direction, and slow down a little."

Whatever Sean Knight said, Elijah Hastings did. This direction was straight toward the underwater valley. Sean Knight tried hard to "look" down with Sky Eye; the currents in the valley were as swift as ever, so he was reassured.

The yacht continued forward, and Sean Knight quickly spotted the submarine.

Due to the distance, he could only see the top cover of the submarine, but as long as the submarine was still there, that was enough.

Sean Knight had just let down his guard when his heart immediately raced again!

Because he saw the salvage divers searching in the vicinity of the seafloor valley.

Clearly, they knew of the rapid currents in the underwater valley and therefore kept their distance. But by lingering nearby, they would surely discover the submarine in the valley!

Once the submarine was found, with the salvage ship’s equipment, it might even be possible to "pull" it out!

Sean Knight became anxious.

He watched intently as the salvage divers approached the underwater valley, turned away, approached again, and then turned away, finally leaving and surfacing.

Sean Knight knew that if he didn’t act soon, it might not take long for the salvage ship to truly find the submarine.

Then the ownership of the Bronze Dragon would be in question!

He had to dive again today!
