Just then, Cao Gui swam back from a distance with his two younger brothers.
Meanwhile, George returned, carrying fishing gear but empty-handed. Clearly, he had come back empty-handed again... No, he was still holding a coral stone, so it didn't count as an empty-handed trip.
When Cao Gui and the other two got ashore, they saw Helen and Gwen looking displeased.
"What happened?" Cao Gui was completely bewildered, as was George.
"George, where did you three little rascals go just now?"
"Treasure hunt!"
“Yes, yes, we also found some good stuff,” the two said, each adding a sentence.
As she spoke, she placed the small plastic package in Cao Gui's hand in front of her mother and sister.
"What is this?" George asked, puzzled.
“There was a crashed plane in the sea, and we found it inside,” Cao Gui said. George opened the package with a puzzled look, but his expression quickly changed.
"How much of this stuff is left in the sea?" George asked gravely. The small plastic package contained white powdered recreational toys.
"An entire military transport plane."
Cao Gui's expression also darkened slightly. He recognized what it was, and his heart sank. Such a large number of people meant that the power behind them was unimaginable. They were now in a foreign land, unarmed and with their families to support, and could not afford to provoke others.
"How about... we take care of those bastards beforehand?" Cao Gui thought to himself. The people he hated most in his two lives were human traffickers and drug dealers.
"Don't go to that area. Also, don't let this get out," George said seriously.
He's not the kind of NYPD member with an overflowing sense of justice who enforces the law even abroad. Right now, he's just the head of his family, and his primary concern is the safety of his family. This matter can't be publicized, otherwise they might be targeted.
As for calling the police... haha, even law enforcement officers in this country might not dare to raise their voices in front of drug dealers.
Hearing their father say that, the two boys became unhappy:
"Damn it, we finally found some clues."
"Yes, I also found a ballast stone. There must be an old shipwreck here, and there must be treasure on board."
Even so, their father's imposing presence forced them to obey and not go to that sea area anymore, although they could still go to the nearby sea areas.
"Cao, take us to buy some equipment, we want to continue our treasure hunt," the two younger brothers pestered Cao Gui.
Cao Gui rolled his eyes. He should have known better than to tell them about the treasure.
"Let's go, let's go, treasure hunting is a lot of fun." Without further ado, the two pulled Cao Gui towards the outside of the villa.
"Alright, alright." Cao Gui let them pull him along.
Seeing this, Gwen followed, leaving her parents alone.
……
Outside the villa area are numerous yacht rental companies and boat companies that provide yacht services to tourists visiting the area.
Of course, there are also many treasure hunters here, who sail their treasure-digging ships on the sea, searching for shipwrecks that were once buried deep in the ocean.
The Bahamas is the northern gateway to the Caribbean Sea and was an important passage for European colonists' shipping routes in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Throughout history, numerous ships have sunk due to various natural and man-made accidents, making this place a sacred ground for many treasure hunters.
"So, boys, what equipment do you want to buy?" Cao Gui asked two young boys as an Audi slowly drove along the road.
"A sand blower, a metal detector, a diving suit, and a breathing apparatus," the two little boys said in unison.
"Very professional." Cao Gui raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
"Of course, we've made a lot of preparations for the treasure hunt."
"...You guys are really something." Cao Gui was speechless for a moment, and was a little worried that these two little brats might go down the path of no return to treasure hunting in the future.
"Damn, watch out!" Gwen suddenly shouted.
Cao Gui was startled and turned his head to see an old pickup truck wobbling toward them. In the driver's and passenger's seats, a man and a woman were still embracing and kissing each other, not even looking at where they were going.
Damn it!
Cao Gui suddenly turned the steering wheel to the right, but to his surprise, the pickup truck also dared to turn right.
Bang!
The car interior jolted, and the Audi's hood dented... but not dented. Instead, the hood of the old pickup truck popped up, emitting white smoke.
Inside the car, Cao Gui and Gwen looked at each other in dismay. They were fine; the airbags hadn't even deployed. But the pickup truck looked rather odd.
"Are we... the victims?" Gwen looked bewildered. She didn't know whether she should be angry or not. Although they weren't injured, the fault lay with them.
"Let's go down and take a look first." Cao Gui's lips twitched slightly; he was quite speechless when faced with this kind of situation.
"Ouch...it hurts, it hurts..."
In the pickup truck, two young men and women were covering their heads, but they had only scraped their skin. Fortunately, the car was not going fast, otherwise it would have been a serious accident.
As Cao Gui and Gwen approached, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. The two were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, only slightly less attractive than Cao Gui and Gwen themselves. Moreover, they recognized the two: Paul Walker and Jessica Alba.
"Are you... alright?" Gwen asked hesitantly.
"It's alright... I'm very sorry, it was our fault." Paul opened the car door and swayed as he got out.
"You guys are driving so carelessly!" Gwen said, somewhat angrily.
We are very sorry, we will definitely compensate for the losses caused.
The sexy Jessica with her bronze skin apologized repeatedly, admitting that it was indeed their fault and they couldn't deny it.
"Compensation..." Cao Gui was speechless for a moment: "Forget it, you guys should take care of yourselves."
Suddenly, a car pulled up beside them: "Hey guys, you don't look too good, need some help?"
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a person completely wrapped in a black suit, with even their face covered by a scarf and wearing sunglasses.
However... at the steering wheel, an inch of purple skin was exposed on his wrist.
------------
Please take one day off.
Um... dear readers, I'm taking a day off, and I'll make it up tomorrow.

Chapter 178 Guo Da Statham?
Cao Gui frowned. This person was hiding his true intentions and clearly did not look like a good person, but strangely, Cao Gui did not feel too wary of him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," the man chuckled. "May I have the honor of knowing your names?"
"My name is Saman."
"My name is Gwen."
The two girls blurted it out instantly.
Cao Gui frowned. What was wrong with Gwen? Why was she so unguarded around strangers?
"May I have the honor of knowing about your organization?" the man continued.
"sure……"
"Gwen!" Cao Gui called out softly, interrupting them. The two girls, who were about to speak, were stunned and looked somewhat bewildered.
Neither of these girls is naive or innocent. Samanthaan has survived in this island nation rife with drug dealers, and that's not just luck. Gwen even possesses spider-sense, yet they have absolutely no wariness of this man.
After realizing what was happening, Gwen's face turned pale, and she sensed that something was wrong.
Seeing this, the man remained unperturbed, simply chuckled, and then started his vehicle and slowly drove away.
Cao Gui's gaze was gloomy as he stared in the direction the man had left, secretly memorizing his license plate number.
After this incident, Cao Gui and Gwen lost interest in arguing with Paul and Jessica, and turned back to their Audi to start the car.
"Gwen, what just happened?" Cao Gui asked, gripping the steering wheel, somewhat puzzled.
In the passenger seat, Gwen's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she recalled what had just happened:
"Well... I don't know either. I just answered without thinking when he asked the question... I don't understand why."
"So what did you feel at the time... I mean, did you feel uncomfortable anywhere in your body? Like, dizziness or something."
Cao Gui asked, somewhat suspecting that Gwen might have been hypnotized, but the problem was that their conversation consisted of only a sentence or two, and their meeting lasted less than half a minute.
Moreover, there were four people present, yet he managed to target only two of them.
If this is hypnotized... then only that old bald man in the wheelchair could do it.
“No.” Gwen shook her head. “It just came out naturally; I didn’t even realize anything was wrong…”
"I see..." Cao Gui fell into deep thought. In the Marvel universe, there aren't many people who can control others, and most of them are mutants.
When Cao Gui arrived in this world, he took a stroll around Westchester, New York, but he didn't find Xavier Manor or Xavier Academy there.
Even in Japan, where people live a comfortable life, there is no Yashida Industrial Co., Ltd.
"If it's not a mutant, then who could it be?" Cao Gui frowned slightly, thinking to himself, as an image of a person with purple skin appeared in his mind.
Purple Man!
His real name should be Kilgrave. His job was as a spy. Later, due to an accident, his whole body turned purple, and he gained the ability to control people.
The principle behind this ability is likely to control the pheromones in another person's body, thereby controlling their behavior. However, while it can control another person's behavior, it cannot manipulate their will.
Gwen probably didn't realize she was being controlled, mistaking what she said under someone else's control for her own conscious actions.
Cao Gui's expression darkened slightly. This guy was a lecherous bastard. Even Jessica Jones, the all-around superhuman, was tortured to the point of wishing she were dead by him.
It seems he's got his eye on Gwen. Cao Gui's eyes flashed. This man must die!
"Hello, Uncle Gaspar." Cao Gui dialed a number.
"Cao, why did you suddenly decide to call me? And what happened to you, you ended up in the Bahamas?"
"I'm on vacation with my girlfriend," Cao Gui said. "Also... I want to look something up."
“…” Sitwell paused for a moment, then said:
"Okay, I understand. I'll give you the method in a bit... There's one more thing: keep things quiet, I can't handle it."
