Lin Dong understood the principle that a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow.

Since he already intends to take over this place, why would he ruin the local economy and people's livelihood?

Keep the territory you've set your sights on safe; you'll be developing it extensively in the future!

....................................

Late at night on May 20th.

Lin Dong appeared in Geelong, the southernmost city in Australia.

More than 11 months ago.

He took his mother, He Yan, and the charming maid, Sun Jialu, and boarded a submarine to reach the hidden island.

Time flies! Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

I wonder if my mother, living on this deserted island, is happy?

With the sensible Sun Jialu by her side, her mother shouldn't be too lonely, right?

Standing on the pier where the tide had just come in, Lin Dong smiled gently.

To be honest, now that I have some free time, I really miss them...

At 12:30 a.m., a red navigation light appeared on the dark sea.

The red light got closer and closer, and then stopped in the sea 100 meters from the shore.

Lin Dong took out a flashlight from his spatial storage, turned on the beam, swirled it around in front of him three times, and then it flickered twice.

The agreed-upon code for picking up the person was sent out.

A short while later, a hovercraft sped over.

The hovercraft docked, and two submariners jumped off.

The moment their feet touched the ground, the two men stood at attention and gave Lin Dong a standard military salute:

"Captain Qin Ling of the No. 1 Type 633 submarine has ordered us to escort Boss Lin aboard the submarine!"
