Avery, on the other hand, didn’t sense anything wrong.
“No need to worry, the Jagger family has always been difficult to deal with. They must have taken many
precautions. Even if we hide our forces, we can’t avoid the Jagger family’s scrutiny. If they find us, they
find us. Ultimately, it’s a test of real strength,” Avery said.
Irwin nodded. “Yes.”
“How much longer until we reach shore?” Avery asked.
“We have about three more hours to go,” Irwin replied.
Avery nced at his wristwatch. “When the timees, as the sun rises and the fog clears, we will be
completely exposed. It would be best to find the most concealed docking point.”
Irwin understood and nodded.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon, the sun emerged from the horizon. Slowly, it ascended into
the sky, dissipating the fog that had shrouded the sea.
The view became clear and expansive. A solitary ind in the sea appeared before everyone’s eyes,
drawing closer and closer.
Avery gazed at the ind, his eyes deep and inscrutable, leaving one to wonder what thoughts were
running through his mind.
After sending someone to scout the situation, Irwin confirmed that there were no ambushes. Only then
did he lead his group to disembark from the ship.
Several experts surrounded Avery, constantly guarding his safety from all sides.
To reach the ind, they had to pass through a vast, untamed jungle. As Avery stepped into it, he
couldn’t shake off a sense of unease.

Irwin noticed a peculiar look on his face and asked, “Mr. Cox, is something wrong? You don’t look well,”
Avery’s brow furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “Since the family already knew about the
mission assigned by the guild and evenunched an attack at sea to prevent us, why didn’t they set up
an ambush on the shore? Why did they let us walk into the maind so easily?”
Irwin also felt that something was off, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint why.
“It does seem suspicious, but our people thoroughly searched the shore and found no signs of anyone
present or any indications of an ambush.”
The deeper Avery ventured, the more he felt that something was
“The just sit to theirir. There must be a catch here.”
He gazed at the unfamiliar and mysterious jungle, suddenly realizing something, and his expression
instantly darkened.

“We’ve been tricked!”
No sooner had the words been spoken than a suddenmotion erupted in the silent jungle.
Countless people emerged from all directions, brandishing weapons,pletely surrounding them!
Each of these individuals was tall and robust, clearly trained in martial arts. All of them wore veils, their
eyes fixed on them like predators eyeing their prey.
Avery’s pupils constricted upon seeing a few people in the crowd holding bamboo poles as blowpipes.
“Cover your mouths and noses, try to breathe as little as possible!” he shouted.
Before his words could even fall, he saw the other party put the blowpipe to their lips, blowing out a
large amount of white powder in their direction.
The powder floated in the air, advancing toward them, soon spreading all around them.
It was a stupefying drug!
Avery shielded his nose and mouth with his arm, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the person
through the haze of powder smoke.
Clearly, the other party came prepared. Without uttering a single word, they charged at them as soon
as the dust began to disperse…
Meanwhile, at the Gordon residence, the meatball fell into the bowl with a plop. Neera looked atn,
surprised and anxious. “What did you say? Mr. Cox was ambushed? What happened exactly? And
what about Mr. Weaver? How are they?”
After the attack on Wind Chime Ind, Neera lost her mood to y and decided to return with the
children and Jean.
At that moment, the family was having lunch whenn walked in to
report.
“In fact, Mr. Cox had already experienced an attack at sea. The attackers appeared to be pirates, but
Mr. Cox suspected that they were actually people from the Jagger family disguised as pirates. There
were no casualties during that attack. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the attackers quickly
fled,”
Upon reaching the ind, the Jagger family did not set up an ambush along the shore. Instead, they
hid in the jungle, which was the only path to the heart of the ind. The Jagger family did this to trap
them. Not long after the Cox family and their party entered, they were surrounded by the Jagger
family’s people. They had already assessed the Cox family’s strength during the sea attack. This time,
they came inrge numbers and were prepared with a stupefying drug. The Cox family suffered severe
casualties. Despite their fierce resistance, they still lost a number of people. If it weren’t for Mr. Cox’s
subordinates taking advantage of the chaos to cover his retreat and hiding, I’m afraid Mr. Cox might
have also met with misfortune. However, Mrs. Beauvort, rest assured, everyone from the Gordon family
is safe, and Mr. Weaver is unharmed.”
Upon hearing the shocking news, Neera was so shocked that she immediately lost her appetite, unable
to eat another bite.
Even though Avery and Finnley were fine, she still couldn’t put her mind at ease.
They had barely set foot on the ind, and already
knew what terrifying things might happen next?

With a worried expression, she asked, “What news came from there? Are they going to send more
people?”
With a worried expression, she asked, “What news came from there? Are they going to send more
people?”
With so many casualties, the situation would be difficult to handle. They needed support.
<pn nodded. “Mr. Cox has sent a message back, requesting the Cox family to dispatch another group of
people to Adieu Ind.”
