Chapter 564 - 575 Decisive Hitman
John Brown parked the car by the roadside, not far from the dock, and asked Alice Brown to wait in the car. Alice was quite worried and suggested going with John, but John dismissed the idea with a single sentence, "You’d just be a burden to me if you came, stay here."
Alice Brown was sensible enough to understand the weight of John’s words, but she felt extremely regretful at not being able to witness John Brown demonstrate his prowess firsthand. In the end, she could only obediently wait in the car.
There was a hill near the dock, with quite a few trees on it. Though not very tall, it was early September, and the foliage was dense, making John hard to spot as he hid among them.
On the slope, John observed the dock carefully. A speedboat was docked there, most likely belonging to the criminals. These thugs evidently planned to leave immediately by boat upon arrival, without lingering here. If he wanted to rescue the hostages, he needed to act before the speedboat departed, or sneak onto the boat; otherwise, once the boat started, catching up would be difficult.
And he had been here for a while already, with the two vans about to arrive, leaving him with very little time.
John Brown directly descended the hill, then openly headed towards the speedboat.
"Stop, this is a private speedboat." Two men at the dock immediately stopped John, faces filled with vigilance.
John cracked a small smile and said, "I want to rent a speedboat to go out to sea, name your price."
"We don’t rent; go somewhere else if you want to rent a speedboat," one of them said coldly, showing a fierce expression, hoping to scare John away. Meanwhile, the other reached towards his foot, revealing something under his shirt, clearly a gun.
The behavior of these two confirmed even more to John that this speedboat was tied to the thugs. He gritted his teeth, and said discontentedly, "Fine, if you don’t rent, you don’t rent. No need to be so nasty."
