Fade was somewhat annoyed. "You're too nosy. It's my business and it has nothing to do with you."
"You..." Enraged, Halina moved to hit him.
Minerva quickly stopped her. "Halina, don't. There are many people watching. If you get into a fight here and now, it's very likely that we'll be discovered by the Skull Mob."
Those words made Halina stop, but she still stared at him warily.
Minerva turned her gaze to him immediately. In a serious tone, she said, "We know that you're Quin's husband, but this matter is of great importance. There's no room for mistakes."
"If you are not careful enough here, you're very likely to be discovered by the Skull Mob members. At that time, it'll become even more perilous to save Quin."
Her amiable tone calmed him down. He said, "Since you're also here to rescue Quin, why don't we cooperate with each other and share the information we have gathered? It will be safer. The possibility of the rescue succeeding will be greater."
"Well..." She did not know how to reply for a moment.
Halina, on the other hand, shut him down directly. "Share our information? Don't even think about it. Even if you are trustworthy for now, I'm afraid you'll only get in the way."
Fade inadvertently twitched his brows at that. "Get in your way? Oh, but certain people are weaker than I am!"
"Weaker? We'll only know that after a fight, and not from you bragging about yourself," she responded coldly.
He couldn't be bothered to reply to that old hag anymore. He gazed at Minerva and said, "Minerva, I don't know who you are, but since we have the same goal, I hope you can convey my words to your superior. I hope you'll cooperate."
"I will." She nodded.
"Thank you." He nodded too, and got ready to leave.
However, just then, Halina stared at him unflinchingly and said, "Kid, you’d better not mess around and ruin our plan."
He shook his head and ignored her.
He bought a set of tourists' clothes from the market, some accessories, and other items. Holding a camera, he walked towards the center of the island.
The closer he got to the center of the island, the fewer people there were. The number of trees increased.
After walking for about half an hour, he saw a luxurious manor hidden in the forest ahead.
The manor was quite large. It was inside the forest area, surrounded by a three-meter-high iron fence. There were many guards with weapons patrolling around.
"This must be the manor of the rich people that the villa owner talked about."
As Fade thought that, he turned to the camera in his hand, ready to snap some photos.
However, just as he was about to angle the lens towards the manor, two guards with batons came over and glared at him menacingly. "What are you doing?”
"I, tourist, picture!" He raised the camera in his hand and gestured.
However, one of them snatched the camera in his hand away and threw it on the ground, smashing it into pieces. "Get out of here! You're not allowed to take pictures here."
"My camera, how can you..." Fade looked woeful.
However, the guards rushed toward him fiercely, looking as though they were going to attack him.
Fade frowned, but in the end he did not make a move. He retreated.
Following that, he continued in his search, disguised as a tourist. He derived a general idea of his surroundings.
