Chapter 1540: Chapter 735: There Should Be an Explanation

Using Sean Knight’s identity, coupled with the fact that he was rescuing people, government officials were extremely courteous when they came. Reporters even tracked him down for an interview.

However, Sean Knight declined. He didn’t want to be in the limelight at that time.

It wasn’t about being modest, but rather he had grown accustomed to keeping a low profile. With the activities he was involved in, the more exposure he got, the more difficult it would become to continue these activities.

Because of the migrant interception incident this time, Sean Knight’s salvage plans had been forcibly interrupted. Fortunately, there were plenty of things underwater, and he wasn’t too concerned about it, so he simply pulled up the anchor, and the yacht along with the cargo ship left the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Atlantic Ocean.

From the map bought in Xinhua Bookstore, the Atlantic seemed like the ocean at the edge of the world, boundless.

But from a globe, it was clear that after crossing the Atlantic, you would reach the east coast of America.

Sean Knight wanted to make a trip around the world and was planning to go directly to New York.

After all, Joanna Davis was there.

However, when they reached the deep Atlantic, Sean Knight had the yacht stop.

They were a bit away from the legendary Bermuda Triangle, but not too far.

Douglas Cooper joked aboard the yacht:

"Boss, we’re not far from that infamous Bermuda. Should we change locations? What if something suddenly appears from the seafloor and we can’t find it?"

"If we can’t find it, we’ll stop looking," Sean Knight joked back. "You’ve already lived more comfortably and enjoyed more than most people in your lifetime, hasn’t it been worth it?"

Douglas Cooper was not pleased:

"I’m not done having fun yet. But thinking about it, this place is probably just an exaggeration, nothing should happen, right?"

Sean Knight didn’t reply. Sky Eye had already seen what was underwater.

Traveling this way, there were depths of several thousand meters, and shallower areas of several hundreds of meters.

Of course, the place now was quite suitable; there were many sunken ships underwater, large and small points of light lumped together, looking quite disorderly as if they had gone through some kind of compression.

Could this be where those missing sunken ships had ended up?

But this place was so far from Bermuda. How did these ships end up here?

Sean Knight was curious but wasn’t eager to pursue the answer.

Among ordinary people, he had reached his limits. But in the face of the world’s mighty forces, he was just a small ant. It was better not to delve too deeply into such matters.

Otherwise, one might not even know how they died!

At least for now, with his strength, he should lay low!

Sean Knight said to Elijah Hastings:

"Let’s rest for a while; we’ll leave after that. There indeed is something underwater, but it’s too dangerous."

Although they didn’t see any danger, Elijah and the others agreed. Half an hour later, the yacht continued and finally arrived near the east coast of New York, on the island.

Sean Knight had initially helped others salvage treasure there.

The yacht stopped there, the cargo ship anchored further away, and Sean Knight and his team entered the underground cavity on the island and salvaged more treasure that was hidden there.

At that time, Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings were together, digging for the inherited treasure of a guy called Penson Smith to exchange for the Acupuncture Bronze Figure. At that time, Sean Knight led his team to find several hundred kilograms of precious metals and metal items in the central underground cavity.

But the most valuable items had always been hidden in an underwater hot spring.

Sean Knight had not disclosed this at the time, thinking that he would come back for salvage later.

Penson believed him. Later, as Sean Knight got busier, and as New York started implementing some special policies for wealthy Chinese, Sean barely came here, and the treasure was put on hold.

Now that Sean had some time, he rushed here with Elijah, revisiting the old spots and retrieving the items inside.

One by one, iron boxes were salvaged from the hot spring, then carefully checked and organized on one side.

In Sean Knight’s Sky Eye, at least half of the items in these boxes were worthless. Silk, spices, glass...

These items were more valuable than gold in ancient times but now, either they had turned into dirt, or they had broken into pieces.

However, the remaining were indeed hard currency.

Gold and silver coins from European countries, gold and silver ware from noble castles, flintlock guns from European governmental institutions, and more, were all packed in those boxes.

Three or four dozen boxes, big and small, laid out in the underground space, presenting a magnificent view.

"Let’s open and see one by one," Sean Knight said. "Anything useless, just throw it away immediately."

After opening the boxes, Elijah resurfaced from the water.

He pushed up his glasses, wiped his face, and said to Sean Knight, "Boss, there’s nothing left below."

"Alright, come up," Sean Knight replied with a smile. "We’ve made quite a haul today."

"It also makes up for previous regrets." After being pulled up and taking off his diving equipment, Elijah said, "Back then, we found so many good things for that Penson. In the end, we got nothing, and it felt like a loss. Now it turns out, the real treasure was in the water!"

Elijah had participated in the salvage. Naturally, he knew the value of the precious items in the boxes, which was far beyond what Penson and his team had taken away before.
