The Niguel volcanic archipelago is covered with dense reefs and huge aquatic forest roots. The water draft in most places is not deep and cannot allow large ships to pass through. Moreover, there are countless powerful monsters hidden in the depths of these islands.
A noisy steamship will attract more dangers.
Raymond and his group of more than ten people boarded two wooden boats that had been prepared in the afternoon and set sail quietly in the night. The bonfire in the camp was not extinguished and the tents were not dismantled. Only one mercenary was left to guard, and the rest were lightly packed
Travel.
Anyone else wouldn't be able to tell that this is an empty camp.
Raymond remained silent. He watched the fat man Matthew make these preparations, and couldn't help but give him a high look. It seemed that this guy was carefree, but he was very thoughtful.
Now it is 100% certain that his clan brother Kitts was attracted by the news revealed by Susanna. So if they traveled overnight, they might be able to grab some opportunities.
But then, as Raymond listened to Matthew's arrangements, he realized that the fat man's plan was much more thorough than what he saw.
...
The night was beautiful, with a layer of light mist floating on the sea, and the moonlight pouring down, making it seem like you were in a fairyland shrouded in smoke and clouds. After a while, the two boats were submerged in the white mist, getting farther and farther away from the shore. Everything was sound.
Silence, only the sound of the oars stirring the sea water can be heard, crash, crash, crash...
Night sailing has an aura of terror everywhere.
Even an extraordinary person can't see very far in this thick fog, as if at the end of the fog is an abyss demon with its bloody mouth...
"It's so scary..."
Ilya shrank her neck. This was completely different from the adventure she imagined. There was no thrill, only terror...
She tugged on Raymond's clothes.
"..." Raymond ignored her and felt very helpless. This girl, it's not too big of a deal. If you keep rubbing against me, your lover will be jealous and take action. His life will be in danger.
Gone...
"Uncle, aren't you afraid?"
"..."
"Uncle, will a sea king suddenly pop out of the sea and eat us?"
"..."
"Uncle, why do I feel like this mist is like a huge monster breathing in and out..."
"..."
"Uncle, where are we going?"
"..."
Finally, Raymond was so annoyed that he could only blame it and said: "I don't know either, just ask your brother."
Sure enough, the girl shouted to him again: "Brother, where are we going now? Why do we have to sail all night?"
Matthew turned a deaf ear and had no time to pay attention to this sister.
At this moment, he and Gelie were pointing at the map to discuss the navigation route.
"Captain Gree, let's go directly to this 'Poison Island' in a moment! Find a stone where you can see the moon through the cracks. There is a treasure trove nearby..."
When he said this, his expression was completely gone from the exaggeration and laziness he had before, and instead he had a kind of ability and determination that he had never revealed.
"good!"
"..."
Suzanne was always with Matthew.
She never expected that this fat man who had been so smitten with her just two days ago would not listen to her advice at all and insisted on sailing late at night.
She couldn't resist, so she had no choice but to come along.
But as she listened, she realized that something was wrong with Matthew's arrangement.
This... strong attitude is like a different person!
The fake camp where the bonfire was not extinguished just now made her vaguely aware that the fat man's arrangement had a hidden meaning.
After getting on the boat, Matthew's cold attitude was more like a knife, which made her feel faintly cold.
At this moment, she even had some doubts that the person in front of her was really the lustful and gluttonous fat loser she knew?
Susanna was even more shocked when she heard the fat man's affirmative words about the island where the treasure was buried.
She was slightly angry and asked: "Matthew, you...didn't you say you weren't sure which island the treasure is on?"
In fact, it was not just Susanna, everyone had the same doubts.
Didn't the fat man say that he could only interpret a general direction before? How could he now get the detailed coordinates directly?
And from his tone, he seemed certain that the treasure was on that "Poison Island"!
Raymond was always watching with cold eyes, and no movement escaped his perception. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and muttered in his heart: "This fat man is hiding a little deep..."
...
Now that the ship is far away from the shore, Matthew is not afraid of anyone coming to tip off the ship again.
There are phone bugs on cruise ships, but not here!
"Oh, my dear Susanna, I'm sorry I kept some news from you."
Hearing Susanna's question, he no longer had to worry about anything and said directly: "Actually, I did my homework before setting off from the royal capital and studied the terrain of the entire Nigel Volcano in detail! Therefore, when the hidden map shows
At that moment, I knew the exact coordinates of the treasure."
"What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Susanna froze on the spot as if she had been hit hard in the heart.
She was furious and lost her temper habitually: "Matthew, how dare you lie to me!"
pity,
At this moment, Matthew is no longer the guy who surrendered under her pomegranate skirt and was submissive for the sake of sex.
"Oh, dear, I didn't lie to you. Wasn't the general direction I gave you correct?"
He looked at Susanna, still smiling.
It looked so naive before, but now...it makes people feel chills running down their spines.
Susanna became angry and shouted: "You can't trust me, so you deliberately hide it from me?"
"Um...no! I didn't intend to hide it from you."
Matthew shook his head and said: "If the news of the treasure map had not been leaked, you would have participated in the excavation of the treasure with me, and would have married you as promised. But..."
After a pause, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Susanna coldly, and asked: "You and I are the only ones who know the secret of the treasure map... Why don't you explain why my dear brother Kits followed you?
What?"
"How could I automatically tell him to come?"
A flash of panic flashed in Susanna's eyes, and she pretended to be surprised: "You doubt me?"
Matthew shrugged noncommittally, "I need a reasonable explanation."
"Matthew, you disappoint me so much. You actually doubted me!"
Susanna still wanted to speak harshly, but she already guessed in her heart that her secret tricks might have been noticed by this damn fat man.
Could it be that someone saw it while sending the telegram on the ship?
She pretended to be ashamed and angry, and shouted: "Pull the boat back! I want to go back to the capital, and I don't want to see you liar again!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly became very awkward.
"this..."
The mercenaries looked at Matthew. After all, he was the employer, and they only had to obey his orders.
"It's really surprising that this guy can hold back until now and only makes an attack..." Seeing this, Raymond was applauded. Except for him, everyone on the ship probably didn't understand why this loving couple suddenly fell out.
flipped.
They thought it was a little temper between lovers, but they didn't expect that what they heard next became more and more shocking.
"No, keep paddling towards your destination."
Matthew ordered to the mercenaries.
He wasn't angry either. He wanted to give her one last chance and asked, "I want to ask you one last time. Did you really not reveal the treasure map to anyone?"
"No!"
As long as she was not caught, Susanna was not stupid enough to throw herself into chaos. Instead, she asked coldly: "Matthew, you actually doubt me?"
"oh."
After hearing this, Matthew's expression darkened slightly, as if he had made some decision.
He shrugged, changed his face to an extremely cold face, stared at Susanna, and said: "It's best not to... If you really betray the top secrets of my Baylor family, even your family can't protect you.
life!"
Probably, this fat man really knows...
Susanna felt a chill running down her back as she listened, but she still had the intention of retreating in her heart.
Staying next to Matthew at this moment, she felt like she had half a foot in the coffin.
She mustered up her last courage and shouted: "Damn you, fat man! I don't want to stay with you anymore. I order you to send me back immediately!"
"Right..."
Matthew had a lonely expression on his face, and his words were off topic. He was more like talking to himself, "After all, we are not married. I don't care if you want to climb into another man's bed."
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood the origin of this contradiction. If the heir of a large chamber of commerce can say such words regardless of his reputation, then this matter must be true.
Isn’t this woman Matthew’s fiancée? She actually climbed into someone else’s bed?
Damn it, so exciting!
Although the mercenaries didn't say anything, they all pricked their ears to hear the next gossip.
Raymond also raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would tell the scandal about being raped in front of everyone.
Susanna's expression suddenly changed, and she was trembling with anger, "You are so slanderous! You are shameless!"
Matthew saw that Susanna still wanted to quibble, so he directly named her and said coldly: "I watched you climb into my brother Kit's bed in the camp before, but I actually don't hate you in my heart. After all,
, if we can't reach an agreement, we can get together and part ways. But... you shouldn't tell him about the treasure map, it is related to the future of my Baylor family..."
The time, place, characters, and story are all complete, leaving no room for her to quibble.
At this moment, Susanna's face was ashen, and her face seemed to have been drained of blood in an instant, turning pale.
actually,
When Matthew saw Susanna suddenly being very enthusiastic towards him, he had an extra thought. However, after all, she was his fiancée. He didn't think she was as bad as he thought, but he didn't dare to show his heart.
A vague coordinate exchanged for two days and two nights of chaotic life...it's not too bad.
Of course, this is also a kind of temptation for him.
If Susanna really had no objections and took him to find the treasure, she would happily become the wife of the young owner of the "Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce" in the future, which would be considered a happy ending.
It's a pity...this woman is not sure.
The truth of the matter is revealed, and there is no room for turning around.
At this time, Matthew said to Glee: "Captain Glee, please put this woman on another boat. I suspect there is something hidden on her that can be tracked and located. If someone catches up soon, please take her with you."
Watching those people circle in the sea..."
Hearing this, Gelie misunderstood something and looked confused: "You know our contract clearly states that unless the employer's life is in danger, we will not take the initiative to help you kill someone."
Matthew nodded and said: "No, I didn't say I wanted to kill her! If my brothers are really chasing her, just lead them in a circle. And please make sure to testify for me when you go back.
For leaking trade secrets, our Baylor family will definitely hold you accountable to the end!"
"That's okay."
Gle nodded, these do not violate the contract.
"No..."
After hearing these words, Susanna was really scared... She never thought that the fat man she regarded as trash could have such a terrifying plan! And from the stern look in his eyes when he looked at her just now, he seemed to be looking at her coldly.
A corpse...
If this matter was reported back to the royal capital, she could already guess her own tragic ending.
"No...I don't want...Matthew, please..."
Susanna's face turned pale with shock. She knew that if this news spread, not only would the marriage between their two families be corrupted, but her Warren family would also be implicated, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
It turned out that she was very opposed to this family marriage, and she also hated this fat man who looked like a fat pig.
And Kitz, who is also one of the heirs of the Baylor family, is so graceful...Seeing that the three-year assessment is coming to an end, Kitz is sure to win the first place...it is very likely that this fat man will have nothing at all.
...
Why can’t the person I marry be Kitz Baylor?
She just wants to choose her future destiny.
But I didn't expect that I made the wrong choice.
If she had known that this fat man was so scheming, Susanna would never have dared to make such a choice. With such a scheming guy, his business skills would never be weak. Even if he could not inherit the Chamber of Commerce in the future, no matter how miserable he was, he would definitely be able to survive.
Live a prosperous and privileged life.
It's a pity, I regret that I shouldn't have...
She still wanted to beg for mercy, but her vision went dark and she fainted.
The person who knocked Susanna unconscious was the elder of the chamber of commerce who had been following Matthew in the team to record Matthew's assessment performance.
He now understood what happened and said, "I will record this in detail. If Kitz really used some unfair means, I will truthfully report it to the other elders of the family."
...
Susanna was thrown into another boat, and two mercenaries rowed the boat in circles on the sea, and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Without such a disloyal woman, the atmosphere of the treasure hunting team suddenly seemed to be much more harmonious.
But no one spoke.
"Brother...you are so awesome!"
Finally, someone spoke.
Ilya's little face was filled with excitement, and he danced and said: "I have told you that woman is not a good person!"
Raymond was also dazzled by what Matthew had just done.
This kind of planning and careful thinking is the essential quality of a successful businessman. Only this kind of person can truly control a large chamber of commerce! Be cruel to others and be cruel to yourself... He actually doesn't care about being cheated at all.
If you say self-destruction, you will self-destruct...
At this moment, Matthew's image in everyone's eyes grew higher and higher.
After Susanna was carried onto another boat,
The fat man just stood at the bow of the boat, silent and motionless.
That arrogant back now revealed a kind of loneliness that is so cold at high places...
Probably, this is the temperament of a superior person.
"elder brother!"
Seeing that Matthew didn't pay any attention to her, Elijah couldn't help but pull his sleeve and asked excitedly: "Tell me quickly, how did you find out that something was wrong with that woman? You two days ago
Aren't we still in love..."
This pull,
Matthew's aloof image instantly collapsed.
He turned his face,
As if I have suffered all the grievances in the world,
Everyone saw a big painted face with tears streaming down his face.
"Actually...I really, really like her!!!"
After saying that,
Fatty Taotao cried loudly,
The heart-rending pain in the cry made people moved.
Only then did Raymond know,
I caught a rapist in the camp before,
When he watched his beloved woman kissing another man with a calm face,
Fat guy...
What despairing emotions are suppressed in my heart!
