After he spoke, ire checked her phone, finding only a single bar of signal on the screen – a clear
indication that in this area, the mobile reception was minimal. Though weak, the presence of a signal
was somewhat reassuring.
ire pursed her delicate red lips and turned to Sean with an inquiring look. Sean chuckled softly.
gently rubbing her head, “If you wish to go, let’s go.”
A smile instantly brightened ire’s face; she knew he would not object. Pointing towards thergest
nearby ind, she dered with a spiritedugh, “Let’s set sail for the ind!”
Julia, overjoyed by the decision, leapt up, eximing, “Haha, off to the ind!”
The young man, observing their excitement, curled his lips into a subtle, cold smirk before standing up.
“Then I’ll steer the yacht there,” he said, leaving them to their enthusiasm.
ire and Julia, unable to contain their excitement, ran to the bow, spreading their arms towards the
ind, their smiles radiant in the sunlight. Sean chuckled and casually pulled out his phone.
scrolling through it thoughtfully.
Soon, the yacht reached the shores of the ind. ire, considering a pic on an uninhabited ind
a rare delight, joined Julia in packing a storage box with food and a couple of bottles of
wine.
“Let’s go!” ire said with a smile to Julia, handing the storage box to Sean, then happily
descended from the yacht.
From afar, the ind seemed sizable, but only upon setting foot did they realize its vastness. It took
them a good twenty minutes just to cover a fifth of its coastline.
They didn’t rush to unpack their food, instead, surveying the ind from a distance. Finally, ire
suggested, “Let’s explore the interior.”
Sean and Frederick naturally had no objections. ire, to be cautious, took her bag with her – having
her nine–section whip handy meant she could handle any potential danger.

for now, the ind was devoid of any animals, only nts.
“Ah…” Julia pouted in disappointment, “I thought we might find some game, but there’s nothing at
all.”
“There is something.” ire said, smiling and pointing upwards. “There are birds in the trees. Go
ahead.”
Julia grimaced, giving ire a speechless look. It was clear that no birds were visible in the low
trees, and while there were bird calls from high above, climbing was not an option for her.
Slightly defeated, she huffed, “No game, then let’s look for wild fruits.”
While the forest did have a variety of wild fruits, they were unfamiliar, hanging quaintly from the
trees. ire and the others looked up at them but hesitated to pick and eat.
Julia let out a frustrated sigh, her face falling in disappointment, “Never mind. It’s better not to
eat something we don’t recognize.”
ire chuckled, covering her mouth, “Indeed. The most vexing thing in the wilderness is not knowing
nts. They recognize us, but we don’t recognize them, so we dare not partake.”
Julia nodded, pouting slightly, then sighed, “Let’s head back then. After our pic, we can y in
the water before returning to the yacht.”
Everyone agreed without objection, as their adventurous spirit had been somewhat satisfied. With
unknown food and no small animals like rabbits in sight, there really wasn’t much reason to stay
after their pic.
The group turned and started back along the path they hade from. Although their outing hadn’t
gone as nned, Julia still seemed happy, and ire, holding Sean’s hand, had a joyful smile on her
face. It wasn’t a wasted trip after all.
About half an hourter, as they were about to reach the beach, Julia suddenly cried out in terror.
“Ah…”

ire spun around in rm Julia, what’s wrong? Were you bitten by a snake? In these woods, the
greatest fear was the venomous snakes hiding in the shadows, ready to strike unsuspectively
Julia frantically shook her head, pointing towards the shore with a voice sharpened by fear and anger.
“Our yacht The yacht is gone!”
“What?” ire turned abruptly, staring in disbelief at the empty shore where the yacht had been
moored just an hour ago. Even the usuallyposed Frederick showed a flicker of panic.
With the yacht gone, how would they return?
Sean’s face darkened as he gazed at the deste shoreline. “Let’s go check it out” he said quietly.
The four quickened their pace towards the shore, holding onto a slim hope that the young man had
merely moved the yacht elsewhere. But after a thorough search, they found no sign of it.
Regrouping on the beach, they all sat down, their faces etched with grave expressions. Julia grew
increasingly angry. “What the heck! Wasn’t he supposed to wait for us at the shore?”
ire was also furious, but a troubling thought crossed her mind – they might have been duped. It
seemed likely that the young man had been bribed.
Frederick, disying a man’sposure in such times, didn’tin. Instead, he pulled out his
phone, scrolling through the screen only to find not a single signal bar He frowned deeply, still
not giving up. He attempted a phone call, but without a signal, it wouldn’t go through.
He also tried sending several messages but failed. He looked up at the increasingly panicked faces of
the girls and silently showed his phone to Sean, whispering. “Can’t contact anyone.”
Sean nodded, his demeanor calm. He pulled ire close, patting her back gently, reassuring. “It’s
alright. Fortunately, we still have some food. It shouldst us a few days.”
