“Wait! Something’s wrong!” yelped Ewan. He was initially pacing around the room, pondering over something.Alice had been observing him closely. She wanted to know what her brother had to say about this, but Ewan just kept pacing around and around and around.“Can you please stop? I’m getting dizzy just by looking at you!” whined Alice in annoyance.Ewan suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned to Alice with gritted teeth. “We’ve been tricked!”“What are you talking about?” Alice gave her brother a puzzled expression. She thought Ewan was just confused because of his illness.Ewan suddenly laughed. But it was a sinister yet defeated laughter. “Sebastian and Tamara have set us up. They knew of our plan all along. That’s why they chose to leave the castle today. They knocked out the driver and cut off our contact with the driver. Then, they went to the town and learned about the research institute from those people.”“And most importantly, they have contact with the outside world!
“Hahaha!” Tamara burst out laughing when he saw the way he looked. However, she remembered that it was inappropriate for her to laugh like that in that situation, so she covered her mouth. She was laughing so hard that her eyes were scrunched up.Sebastian glanced at her, and then he held her hand. “Let’s leave this place.”After she was done laughing, Tamara said seriously, “Sebastian, you look better with dark hair. Promise me that you’ll never dye your hair, alright?” Sebastian looked at her with a faint smile. “But I think I look quite good like that.”Tamara was speechless.Her gaze seemed to be saying, “Are you serious? Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with your judgment? Have you thought of what you just said?”However, she did not voice out her thoughts. She just shot him a glance and said, “I forbid you to dye your hair.”She threatened him.Sebastian smiled and said, “Mm-hmm. Whatever you say.”He was still wearing a faint smile and challenging her a second ago. H
“Let’s change into these.”Tamara handed the coat to Sebastian, and he quickly put it on. Tamara, on the other hand, hid in a corner and changed into the dress. Changing their clothing offered a slight reprieve from danger. Those people already remembered what they were wearing previously, and their attires stood out very much as well.Tamara looked at Sebastian. “Would we make it in time if we go to the beach now?”Sebastian glanced at his watch and said calmly. “We can make it.”Tamara was panicking, but she gradually calmed down. Then, she said, “Let’s go then.”“Mm-hmm.”Sebastian nodded and held her hand. Both of them moved quickly toward the beach.Right at that moment, a woman suddenly appeared in front of them.It was a middle-aged woman.Sebastian and Tamara instantly had their guard up.At first, the woman was in doubt when she looked at Tamara. Then, she started laughing. “I found you. You’re the one who saved me. I slept for almost 18 hours after I went home yeste
However, Sebastian suddenly slammed on the brakes right then!“What’s the matter?” Tamara immediately asked. She looked at Sebastian with a confused expression.Sebastian’s line of sight landed on the dock in the distance. After a while, he said, “We can’t go there.”Tamara was stunned. “Why? Isn’t that the warship Jeremiah brought over?”“No.”Sebastian shook his head. As he replied to her, he put the car in reverse and drove backward.However, the people on the dock had already noticed Sebastian and Tamara, so they immediately rushed toward them.Tamara’s attention snapped to the detained soldiers at the dock, who unexpectedly began rising one by one. With guns in their hands, they ran toward them!They were actually just faking it! They were putting up an act to trick them!Tamara’s expression immediately turned cold. She looked around the car and suddenly saw two guns.She was dazed for a moment until she pieced it together. The middle-aged woman had prepared the guns. Sh
Jerome had a very serious expression as he looked at Jeremiah, who was holding the binoculars. “What should we do now, Mr. Custry?”Jeremiah was calm and was not nervous at all. He said, “If he doesn’t accept the terms, tell him he will lose this island.”“But Young Mr. and Mrs. Lynch are still on the island,” Jerome immediately said.Jeremiah put down the binoculars and smiled. “Do you think I have no other preparations?”Jerome was stunned. “Mr. Custry, can you not keep me guessing? My anxiousness is killing me.”Seeing that Jerome was extremely anxious, Jeremiah pretended to be even more profound. “I’m not telling you.”Jerome was speechless. He was really worried sick! What kind of preparations did he have?Jeremiah patted him on the shoulder. “Let’s first contact Ewan.”Jerome was speechless.It was truly torture to be told there was a secret but not the content of the secret.Jerome sighed helplessly and returned to the room to continue communicating with Ewan.Jeremia
Ewan looked terribly sullen. “What a bunch of trash! The city is so small, yet they can’t even find the two of them!”Alice looked sullen as well. After a while, she said, “Ewan, what should we do if they start firing at us?”Ewan pondered for a moment while remaining in the same place. After a while, he said, “Take the things you like with you. We’ll prepare to leave at any time.”“But the residents…” Alice immediately frowned.“What does it matter to us if they live or die?” Ewan said, “They were already on this island when we came. We are the ones who helped them improve their lives. They should be grateful to us. Now that we’re leaving, even if they died, they are just repaying us.”Alice was stunned.Ewan walked over and looked at her. “My dear sister, what’s there to fear as long as we’re still alive?”Alice’s mouth was agape, and she was suddenly at a loss for words.She suddenly felt that the Ewan standing before her was very unfamiliar, so much so that she was a little
At nightfall, the two followed Anthony’s map and made their way out of there. They hardly ran into any soldiers on their way out. They arrived at the beach and saw a small boat docking by the shore.Sebastian and Tamara looked at each other. They could tell from each other’s eyes that they felt a little relieved.Jeremiah was on the cruise ship in the distance and was looking out through the binoculars. When he saw the figures appearing by the shore, he immediately said, “Open fire. Blow that eyesore of a castle into smithereens.”“Roger that!”After Sebastian and Tamara got into the boat, they heard a dull noise coming from nearby. They looked up and saw a few bombs flying toward the castle.Tamara was in disbelief. “How ruthless.”Sebastian smiled. “That’s very clever.”In a moment of swift contemplation, Tamara pieced everything together, understanding the full scope of the situation. Bombing the castle after they got into the boat could divert attention and draw fire away fr
She saw Sebastian looking at her with a big grin.Tamara was speechless.“Didn’t I say you’re not allowed to come in?” Tamara looked at him a little angrily.Sebastian immediately put her in his arms and massaged her gently with his big hands. The burbling of the water could be heard as he moved.At first, Tamara wanted to resist. However, she instantly turned to jelly as he massaged her. She looked even angrier as she was annoyed by how easily her body gave in to comfort.Sebastian said in a deep and pleasant voice, “I just felt that you’re too tired, so I came in to give you a massage. What are you thinking?”Tamara’s cheeks were already flushed because of the steam. However, when she heard what he said, she turned so red that even the tip of her ears looked pink and seductive.Tamara struggled to get to her feet. However, the tub was extremely slippery, leaving her with nothing to grasp for support.She struggled for a while but to no avail. Therefore, she could not help b
