Chapter 1422: The Grand Finale (Part 8)
Zhuang Haoxiong found this statement absolutely unacceptable, and he shouted, "I finally found him and retrieved my key, and you’re telling me it’s useless!" Then, he looked around, "Where’s Mu? Get him out here!"
"Mu’s shut himself in the Divination House, doing his fortune-telling." said the man wearing a wolf mask.
Zhuang Haoxiong rushed up to the man, aggressively, "Weren’t you supposed to keep an eye on that couple, Grey? What idiotic thing did you end up doing?"
"Their son was successfully kidnapped by me. Do you think I’m someone who does nothing?"
"Why don’t you mention that your setup was easily cracked by Xiao Yebai? Someone succeeded in infiltrating your accounts; how did they know your password? Hmm? Care to explain?"
The man’s face twisted with a hint of ferocity due to Zhuang Haoxiong’s provocation, "What do you mean by that?"
"I mean, you traitor, shouldn’t you always be wary of your own actions? Having a history of betraying others makes one doubt suspiciously."
Watching the two argue, Luo Ke suddenly smashed a cup. Both jumped and turned their heads. Luo Ke said, "They might be coming."
"Luo Ke, are you joking? They have no way to locate this place," Zhuang Haoxiong said, "Of course, I suggest we kill his son first, or else it’s hard to quench our hatred."
Luo Ke did not respond, only walked to the side door, opened it, and said, "Watch this place carefully. I’m going to sleep for a while."
Zhuang Haoxiong shrugged his shoulders, "He’s suffering from insomnia again."
Grey did not respond and turned to leave through another door.
On Dark Island, there is no distinction between day and night, making it difficult for the American Military radar to detect this tiny island that has always been hidden in the eye of a hurricane. Consequently, if other boats approach here, it’s equally challenging for the people here to discover.
Zhan Dapeng quickly recognized this fact and spoke to the people on the other boat, "Get ready; we’re about to land. If the boat continues moving toward the shore, it’ll be detected."
"What can we do?" Lao Liu stood next to him, holding night vision binoculars, cautiously observing the situation ahead.
Zhan Dapeng said, "See if we can secure the boat at sea."
"Maybe we can learn from them; I saw them anchoring their boat on the reef," Lao Liu said, "Our boat can probably do the same."
"I’ll give it a try." Zhan Dapeng wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Wei Changqing looked at his expression, realizing it wasn’t just due to tension and caution but also because, like everyone else, he felt an unprecedented excitement. It truly was unexpected; the Dark Island they’d been searching for years without result was finally breached because of Xiao Yebai’s young son. In a way, Xiao Yebai and Gu Nuan’s encounter seemed destined by fate.
Ou Yanan finished the hypnosis, but because of the deep hypnotic state, Lingxin couldn’t wake up quickly and needed time to recover. He picked up a towel and slowly wiped the sweat off the child’s little face.
The others aboard, upon receiving the landing notification, were getting ready. Being fully armed was essential. Gu Nuan and Zhong Qiaohui were in a room, together putting on life jackets.
Zhong Qiaohui looked at her planning to fully arm herself and said, "You should stay back." It might be the first time she spoke to her since they reunited, her words carrying an unspoken concern.
