Chapter 1403


    “Do you guys need a drone? I can lend you one, so you can go and check out the sea from time to


    time!” Jaime continued, his generosity making quite an impression.


    His intentions were clear as day, to help the inders get back on track, keep out of the dispute


    between the local people and Rosalynn, and cut off their inte dependency that had grown over


    time.


    “Really? That’s awesome! A male volunteer was ecstatic.


    He had been eyeing those drones for a while,


    He heard that they were custom-made and even money couldn’t buy them.


    “Of course, we’re all here to protect the coral, right? Even though the experts haven’t confirmed if these


    corals belong to endangered species, we still need everyone to unite and protect them, right?”


    “Yes, the marine botanist only visited once and never contacted us again. We’ve been on this ind for


    so long, it’d be a total waste if those corals aren’t endangered species,” someoneined.


    “Do you think the validation process is that quick? The botanist said there’s a 99% chance that these


    corals are endangered He said he is going back to consult other authorities for the final assessment.


    It’s only been a few days, everyone needs to


    chill


    “Right, whether they’re endangered or not, we should be prepared to protect them as if they were!”


    Jaime nodded emphatically. “Besides, even if these corals turn out not to be endangered, you shouldn’t


    feel like this was a waste of time. Gathering here on this beautiful ind, us good folks from all over the


    world, that in itself is a wonderful experience!


    Everyone pped. Mike suppressed the urge to praise Jaime.


    He suddenly remembered when Jaime arrived on the ind, looking ragged and defeated. When he


    saw Gabrie, he fell to his knees and cried, saying his grandpa dead.


    Back then, Jaime didn’t have the gift of gab he has now.


    But now, his eloquence was remarkable, he could even hold his own in debates.


    In short, he was freaking awesome!


    The more, the merrier.


    In no time, they found a great spot to set up the surveince gear, the rooftop of Zenobia’s hotel.


    A tall man, leaning on a cane and looking frail, gazed at the pole rising in the distance.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    “What are they up to?” Zenobia walked over, carrying a nket.


    Nightfall brought a significant drop in temperature on the ind, she was worried n would catch a


    cold.


    “Who are they?” The man asked.


    “A bunch of so-called volunteers showed up, about seventy to eighty of them. One mboyantly


    dressed man took all our volunteers. Some of the more aggressive ones got scared and left straight


    away…”


    The man frowned slightly, “Seems like they’re here with the CEO of Bane Corporation.”


    “That’s what I thought.” Zenobia also frowned.


    The man suddenly held his forehead, his hand covered in fresh, ugly scars that looked newly healed.


    “Are you having headache again?” Zenobia immediately got worried, trying to support him.


    The man instinctively dodged her hand, leaving Zenobia’s hand hanging in the air.


    “n…” She looked sad.


    n’s face was pale, he said, “Just give me some time.”


    “Alright, I won’t push you. We have plenty of time, I’ll wait for you to recover.” Zenobia smiled gently.


    n chuckled softly.
