Chapter 886 A Flicker of Fire in the Forest


    Following Charlotte’s pointing direction, Joe indeed saw a faint flicker of fire deep within the forest.


    If they hadn’t happened to walk to the edge of the forest, they might not have noticed the fire at all.


    They exchanged a nce, both immediately thinking the same question.


    Who was there?


    Joe pondered for a moment. “Let’s go back first and ask the staff on the ind.”


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Although the ind belonged to Charlotte, there were also several staff members on the ind. Maybe


    they were inside.


    Charlotte nodded, taking onest look at the depths of the forest before returning to the vi area with


    Joe.


    Ben and Anna were already tired from ying and had been taken back to sleep by Gorya.


    Sharon saw Joe and Charlotte and let out a sarcastic chuckle. “Well, well! The busy couple is finally


    back.”


    Joe nced at her indifferently and beckoned the manager responsible for staff


    management.


    The manager became anxious, thinking there might be an issue with personnel


    management, and quickly asked, “Did they make any mistakes in their work?”


    Joe shook his head. “No, don’t worry.”


    The manager finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    “We saw a flicker of fire at the edge of the forest just now. Could there be any


    staff inside?” Joe asked.


    The manager was momentarily taken aback and quickly shook their head. “Our


    employee handbook clearly states that unauthorized entry into the forest is not


    allowed. It’s unlikely that anyone would vite that.”


    To verify his words, the manager asked someone to carefully count the


    employees on the ind and found that everyone was at their respective


    positions and no one had left.


    After listening to the manager’s report, Charlotte and Joe exchanged nces.


    Charlotte smiled and said, “Perhaps I made a mistake. Just make sure everyone


    stays safe.”


    The manager quickly nodded and turned to instruct the employees.


    Sharon, with a mocking expression, walked over. “What were you two doing by


    the seaside? How can you make a mistake even in thete evening?”


    Charlotte’s expression turned serious, and she shook her head. “I didn’t make a


    mistake.”


    Sharon’s smile froze on their face. He knew Charlotte wasn’t someone who made


    baseless ims. “Are you sure you saw a flicker of fire?”


    “I saw it, too,” Joe nodded in agreement.


    Perhaps one person could have been mistaken, but it was unlikely for both of


    them to have a hallucination at the same time.


    “But there should only be us on the ind…”


    As Sharon spoke, their expression also turned serious.


    “We should go and take a look together,” Mandy and Jack joined in. If it wasn’t


    the ind’s staff, it could only mean that a third group had arrived in the morning.


    Charlotte’s ind was quite secluded, and it was highly unlikely for anyone to


    come here. The identity of this third group seemed suspicious.


    They decided to head towards the edge of the forest to investigate.


    Just before they left, Sharon suddenly returned to the room. After a while, they


    came back carrying a ck backpack and joined the others.


    “What were you doing?” Charlotte curiously looked at Sharon. Sharon showed


    her what was inside the backpack, revealing a drone.


    “I thought of ying by the seaside, so I brought this along. Never expected it


    woulde in handy.”


    The group quickly arrived at the edge of the forest, noticing the distance between


    this area and the vi zone. Sharon smirked again and said, “You two really took


    a long stroll.”


    While speaking, Mandy and Jack had already returned. “There is indeed a flicker


    of fire in the forest.”


    Sharon nodded and released the drone from their hand.
