After nearly three days of sailing, Samuel finally saw a shadow of an isolated island in the vast sea. From afar, the island was filled with black smoke, like a volcano that was about to erupt at any time.
After setting up the headquarters in such a dangerous place, no one knew what the higher-ups of the Black Sheep Organization were thinking.
At this moment, the old man walked up to Samuel.
After seeing him once on board the ship, he had not shown up in the past three days. Samuel knew that he might have discussed how to kill him with the higher-ups of the headquarters, but Samuel did not take any precautions, because he had the absolute strength to deal with all situations, so he did not have to worry about their plots and tricks.
"Is there an active volcano on the island?" Samuel asked the old man curiously.
"Correct, this active volcano has already burned for over a thousand years, but it hasn't erupted for close to a hundred years." The elder said.
"If it were to erupt, would the Black Sheep organization still be able to establish a headquarter here?" Samuel smiled faintly. This old fellow was talking nonsense. If it was a volcanic eruption, would the Black Sheep organization not be finished a long
time ago?
"This volcano is not just a simple volcano," the old man continued. "It also hides a huge secret."
A huge secret?
Samuel frowned slightly. "Does this secret have anything to do with the power of the gold medal killer?"
"Your power comes from this volcano?" Samuel asked.
The old man wasn't the least bit surprised by Samuel's words. He even smiled slightly.
"Every gold card assassin needs to pass the volcano's test," the old man said.
Samuel asked, "Since you've passed the trial, then you should know the secret of the volcano, right?"
The old man sighed, then shook his head and said, "I passed out not long after entering the crater, and I don't even know how I came out. After coming out, I have this kind of power, and most of the gold medal killers have the same experience as me."
Passed out?
This was a bit strange. They didn't know how they had the power. This explanation was too meaningless.
However, Samuel observed the expression on the old man's face from the corner of his eye. He did not seem to lie.
"You said most of them. There's still a small portion of people. Do they remember what happened inside?" Samuel asked, seizing the gap in the old man's words.
"There is only a single person in this small portion, but after leaving the volcano, he went crazy, his mouth full of nonsense, and we didn't know what he was saying at all. Moreover, he himself doesn't have the power the volcano gifted him with," said the elder.
He was crazy and talking nonsense? Did he see something, so he was stimulated and lost consciousness?
Samuel became more and more curious about what was hidden in the volcano, so that these gold-medal killers could get the power.
And what did the crazy people see?
At this moment, Samuel suddenly turned to look at the old man and said, "Did the Black Sheep Organization ask me to go to the island not to kill me?"
