Chapter 1409 Fake Kindness

Seth knew those people.

The remaining islanders hated people from Imbe Group.

The moment Seth saw the man rushing over, his first thought was that he might attack Athena.

Seth didn't even think about it. He stepped out, grabbed the man's clothes, and pulled him back directly.

He pulled too hard. And that person had a great force to rush forward. Accidentally, the man lost his balance on his feet, sat down on the ground, and then wailed in pain, "Seth, what are you doing?" Seeing this, the man's wife hurried forward, pushed Seth, and hurried to check on her husband.

Seth himself was a little confused. He subconsciously looked at Athena.

Athena was also looking at him.

Seth immediately retracted his gaze in a panic.

"Are you okay? Do you need a doctor?" Athena asked.

"You don't need to pretend to be kind!" The man's wife looked over viciously.

In the past few years, more and more tourists had come to the island to travel. The locals' income increased significantly.

However, those rich Mailand people came out of nowhere, wanting to drive them away. How came? They were the people who had lived on this island for generations!

Athena sensed the hatred. She retracted her gaze and ignored them. She accompanied the two deep-sea botanists and walked towards the pier.

"Seth, are you crazy? Why did you pull me? Do you want to kill me?" The man returned to his senses, pointed at Seth's nose, and started cursing.

"You answer my question first. What were you trying to do just now?" Seth asked in a low voice.

There were volunteers not far away. But since Athena came, they deliberately kept a distance from the islanders.

The man's eyes flickered for a moment. Then he said confidently, "No matter what I do, I'm protecting our island and homeland!"

Seth's heart sank. As he thought, the man wanted to hurt Athena.

"You're so stupid!" Seth said angrily, "What do you think those people around her are doing? Before you touch her, you'll be kicked away!"

He thought of the leg that almost kicked his face last night.

"What can I do? She also found some bullshit professors and experts. If they say the corals are not Precious Corals, we will be kicked out of our island!" Seth didn't speak. In fact, Alan talked about it with him.

It didn't matter even if the corals were not Precious Corals in the final identification.

There was a rainforest here. It was home to countless plants and animals. They could find some other rare and cherished plants and animals.

With that plan, the construction could be delayed for a long time.

With so many workers on the island, Imbe Group would spend loads of money.

When they couldn't take it anymore, they would ask to talk again. By then, the islands could agree with them building a traveling resort. However, Imbe Group must let the locals stay.

If they couldn't come up with a good plan, the islanders would find other ways to delay the construction.

With so many plants and animals, the experts could take their time to identify them.

The surrounding islanders were noisy.

Seth didn't speak all the time. His eyes passed through the crowd and settled on the figure with a strong aura.

There were too many similar corals in the sea. Precious Corals were rare.

The professor teams on both sides went to the Coral Sea respectively. They carefully photographed the scene environment and then took samples.

Samples were taken back to the laboratory for further analysis. They would check if the coral belonged to the Precious Corals spectrum or maybe an entirely new species.
