CHAPTER 1526: CHAPTER 728: DOES THIS COUNT AS ELIMINATING VIOLENCE AND ENSURING PEACE?

"Splash!"

Douglas Cooper tossed a dead body overboard from the yacht’s deck, brushed off his hands, and said to Sean Knight standing beside him,

"Boss, I’m having some regrets. We shouldn’t have come out here, just the two of us—even if courage comes from skill, in reality, we should be the kind who sit in stately halls rather than mingle. Getting entangled with these trifling pirates is like porcelain clashing with pottery, really not worth it."

When the yacht reached the Strait of Malacca, Sean Knight indeed found many places worth diving into.

However, before they could begin diving, this brand new yacht had already attracted two groups of pirates.

You would think pirates these days should be keeping up with the times. Even those in Somalia have speedboats, people, and submachine guns, and they still tend to approach under the guise of selling goods or looking for someone.

Here in Malacca, the pirates Sean and Douglas encountered just screamed their way towards the yacht, firing a volley of shots before even getting near. Were they trying to intimidate or just give a fair warning?

Using that old man’s words, the job was done pretty sloppily.

Sean originally intended to make a sneaky trip, see if he could score some good loot, something to relax his mind.

Since it was a stealthy run, there was no need for a big show. Plus, he was strong in his own right, and Douglas Cooper was a capable man.

Add to that the Sky Eye and spatial realm cheats; even if they encountered any dangers, they would not be without a means of self-defense.

With such confidence, Sean Knight felt there was no problem. But he didn’t expect to encounter two groups of pirates as soon as they arrived. Were they taking advantage of newcomers?

If they had brought more people along, positioning them around, perhaps the small groups of pirates, consisting of just three to five people, wouldn’t have dared to come near.

"Douglas, I think, the more it happens, the more likely we are to stumble upon the big cargo," Sean Knight said with a smile. "Think about it, pirates have been around these seas for many years without disappearing. What does that tell you? It means there are lots of boats!

The more vessels pass through, the more shipwrecks there naturally are. It’s tough to find a sunken ship in the South Sea or near Big Island, but this is a sea route, and here it should be much easier to locate them. It’s just because the Sea Territory is deep and owned by someone, so those big salvage ships have a hard time salvaging.

But it’s not necessarily the same for us. Just wait and see, we are sure to make a big discovery!"

Once Sean said this, Douglas Cooper also felt a bit tempted.

In fact, Sean Knight’s senses did detect several "spots" nearby, these "spots" underwater were in fact potential "treasures."

However, the brightness of these "spots" was not very strong. According to what Sean knew so far, they were about the same as the sunken ship they found a few days ago, so the haul wouldn’t be much.

Without a salvage ship in tow, he was hoping for a significant discovery, otherwise diving once would be too troublesome. The water in this sea area was about one to two hundred meters deep, with no shortage of passing vessels, and it wouldn’t be easy going down there.

"Let’s move towards areas with fewer boats," Sean Knight spoke again. "Anchoring here is too conspicuous."

"What about the speedboat?" Douglas Cooper pointed at the rickety speedboat brought by the pirates.

"Just leave it here," Sean Knight said. "It’s useless to us."

The yacht left the area, pirate corpses bobbing in the water, soon attracting large fish that began to tear at them.

The yacht finally sailed out of the narrowest part of the sea lane into a wider Sea Territory. There were a few Small Islands nearby, with varying depths of seawater, but near one island, Sean Knight sensed a relatively large spot.

No vessels were seen in the Nearby Sea Area, so Sean Knight told Douglas Cooper,

"Douglas, let’s stop around here. I’ll go down and take a look."

"Boss, you rest for a while, I’ll go down and check first," Douglas Cooper said with a smile. "I can’t let you be the vanguard."

"Fine, you can dive first," Sean Knight didn’t insist, since it was just the two of them. Either way, they would have to alternate, so it didn’t really matter who went first.

Douglas Cooper put on his Diving Suit and plunged into the Water, diving down.

Sean Knight stood on the Deck, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

Although this was a public Sea Territory, pirates could still be present, so they had to be cautious.

Douglas dived for about half an hour and when he surfaced, he brought up an assortment of seafood—there were Fish, crabs, shrimp, and even sea urchins.

But there were no Underwater treasures.

"Boss, the water down there is very murky, hard to see things," Douglas climbed onto the Deck and said, "I felt around for a while but didn’t find the sunken ship, so I brought up something to eat."

"Alright, you start cooking, I’m going to dive and take a look. And remember, stay alert and be careful."

"You got it!" Douglas Cooper laughed.

Sean Knight donned the Diving Suit and jumped into the sea.

He wasted no time and headed directly down towards that bright spot.

More than a hundred meters Underwater, Sean Knight saw a modern motor speedboat.

Inside the speedboat were two Skeletons, seemingly a man and a woman. There were no obvious signs of damage around the speedboat, leading Sean Knight to guess it was caught in a storm.

Under the surveillance of Sky Eye, everything inside the boat was visible.

The yacht itself was luxurious and highly valuable. The materials used for the decor were also extremely pricey. Furthermore, the facilities inside were very complete—the boat had been submerged for no more than ten years.

Inside the yacht’s cabin, Sean Knight "saw" several Boxes. There were boxes holding Weapons, Pistols, and rifles.

There were boxes of "contraband" goods, some of which had already deteriorated, while others were sealed in plastic packaging, not completely dissolved by the Water.
