Chapter 50
Chapter 50: The Situation Changed!
Benjamin’s target was the rtively dangerous areas that they hadn’t searched yet. In the end, he
suddenly focused his attention on a small vige called Timbercrest Vige.
Surrounded by the sea, this ce wouldn’t be a preferred hiding spot for seeking refuge. However,
Martina might just choose to go against the grain anyone
Moreover, ships did dock in this area, so it wasn’t entirely impossible for someone to hide and escape
from here.
With these thoughts in mind, Benjamin didn’t hesitate at all. He immediately took decisive action and
led his team to the small vige.
This time, Benjamin had brought along over a hundred people with him. They quickly monopolized all
the remaining tickets for the fastest departing ship.
Meanwhile, he also received a phone call from Adam.
Adam seemed to have had a few drinks and his speech was slightly slurred, “Benjamin, have you been
awaytely? It’s been a while since you returned, we should have a gathering to celebrate. Why don’t
we choose a date and get together? The guys are all eager to see you!”
Benjamin’s thoughts were focused on Martina, so how could he have the mental capacity to care about
these things? He didn’t even want to say a word and was ready to hang up the phone.
But then, in the next second, Adam said something that caught Benjamin’s attention, “Every time I say
this, you don’t respond. By the way, a few days ago when I took a ship, I saw someone familiar.”
Benjamin paused in his action of hanging up the phone and asked, “Who did you see?”
Adam burped from the alcohol and said, “Who else could it be? It’s that tail that’s been sticking to you.
But I also doubt if I saw correctly. How could that woman take a ship to such a distant ce?”
Indeed, Adam was a timely assistance to Benjamin, instantly confirming Benjamin’s inner spection.
Almost impatiently, Benjamin asked, “Where?”
Adam sensed that Benjamin’s emotions were off, but he quickly shared everything he knew.
After listening to everything Adam said, if Benjamin had any doubts before, now he was extremely
certain that Martina had indeed left by ship, and moreover, there was a high possibility that she was in
the exact location he had locked onto!
With the target confirmed, he hung up the phone and hurried towards Timbercrest Vige.
Arge group of people, no matter where they appeared, were a very eye-catching sight.
Time on the ship seemed to simultaneously fly by and drag on.
After checking the time on his phone for many times, Benjamin finally arrived at the small vige.
The vige could be seen in its entirety. Although the area was not particrly small,pared to a
town or even a city, it seemed quite insignificant.
At this moment, there were quite a few people busy by the shore, seemingly cleaning their fishing
harvest.
Some people were saying, “The catch today is really good. Looks like we can rest at home for the next
two days!”
“I feel the same way. Fishing today has been particrly pleasant, and even my child’s studies have
made remarkable progress. It’s all good news!”
“That’s right! This just goes to show that our vige head has foresight. Otherwise, our children
wouldn’t have made such rapid improvements in their grades. It’s not as simple as it seems.”
While these people were engaged in cheerful conversation, Benjamin gave a signal to Simon, who
quickly understood and walked over to them.
Having been by Benjamin’s side for a long time, Simon had a good understanding of Benjamin’s
personality and demeanor. He greeted the people politely, saying, “Hello.”
Suddenly, they noticed the presence of outsiders, and what’s more, there were so many of them. It
instantly startled the simple-minded vigers, almost as if they had “suspicious individuals” written on
their faces.
With a guarded expression, the vigers stared at Benjamin and his group, as if they were on the verge
of using them of being bad people.
“Who exactly are you? You don’t seem to be from our small vige. We’ve never seen. you before!” one
of the vigers said, filled with caution.
Feeling their wariness, Simon could only smile and nod, “That’s right, we are just passing through here
and wanted to inquire about something.”
As Simon spoke, he took out his wallet and handed to them. The two vigers carefully put the fish they
had struggled to salvage into a bag and carried it behind them, keeping a cautious eye on Simon.
“What do you want to inquire about? We don’t know much, and you might not find out anything from
us!” one of the vigers said, doubting their ability to provide any information Without hesitation, Simon
reached into his pocket and took out a photo of Martina, cing it in front of them. “We’re actually
looking for a person, her name is Martina Martinez, and she looks like the person in this photo. Have
you seen her?”
Upon hearing Simon’s words, the two vigers shared a swift nce, instantly disying a hint of
conspiracy on their faces. It was evident that they had a n in mind, and a hostile aura emanated
from them.
One of them tried to appear calm as he shook his head, “Don’t know her. In this small rundown ce, if
there were such a stunning beauty, we would have recognized her at first sight. We’ve never seen her!”

The other viger doubled over, clutching his stomach in evident pain. “Oh, my stomach is really
ufortable. I must have gotten food poisoning today. I can’t take it anymore. If you have something
to say, keep talking. I need to hurry back home and take care of it!” The viger eximed, not giving
Simon and the other viger a chance to respond, and immediately sprinted towards the vige.
Benjamin’s sharp gaze fell on the departing figure, but he couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong. It was
understandable for someone to react that way if they were in a hurry or had an urgent matter to attend
to.
However, he had a feeling that Martina might be here. If he missed this opportunity, he feared that he
would never have another chance to find her again.
At that moment, the viger pretended to have a stomachache and quickly ran towards the vige, then
headed straight for Candy’s house.
From afar, he saw Candy drawing circles on the ground at the entrance of their house. The viger,
catching his breath, urgently shouted, “Candy! Is Miss Martinez here?” Candy nodded at first, then
shook her head and said, “Miss Martinez has gone out and I am not sure when she wille back.
What’s wrong?”
The man didn’t have time to exin much, only telling Candy that there was an emergency, “Some
people have ill intentions towards Miss Martinez. Hurry and find her, tell her to hide in the cer of our
vige. Unless someone from our vige goes to find her, she must not go out on her own. Be quick!”
