Chapter 298 Show Yourself
After the storm passed, night quickly swallowed the deserted island.
Finished
The already gloomy sky sank fully into darkness, making the island feel even more eerie and unsettling.
Shirley landed about 6 miles from the central point.
From the moment she cut free from her parachute, she had been searching for Thora, even activating her “Hawk Eye” ability.
But on an island packed with obstacles, her ability was severely limited. Her line of sight was heavily blocked, and the area she could scan was extremely small.
“Who’s there? Show yourself!”
A rough male voice suddenly rang out.
The two men beside him immediately sprang to attention.
Branches rustled, and a petite girl stepped out of the trees.
She wore her hair in twin ponytails, and her doll-like face looked almost innocent. The oversized military uniform hung loosely on her, with strange devices strapped to her waist and legs. It was as if she had stolen an adult’s clothes and put them on.
Seeing only a fragile-looking young girl, the three men visibly relaxed. Greed flickered in their eyes as they focused on her number tags.
“Guys, can you help me get off this island?” Shirley blinked her pretty eyes and asked timidly.
The three exchanged knowing looks.
“Sure,” one of them said with a suggestive tone. “Tell us what you can offer. Impress us, and we’ll protect you on the way out.”
Shirley pressed her lips together and smiled. “I’m obedient. I’m cute. And I am good in bed…”
“Good in bed?” The three men’s eyes lit up instantly.
“Just kidding.” Shirley suddenly stepped forward. Before her sentence even finished, several silver needles flicked from her fingertips.
Ten seconds later, all three men collapsed stiffly to the ground, their bodies twitching. They could only watch helplessly as Shirley sorted their number tags like counting cash.
“Duplicates… another duplicate… why are they all duplicates?” she sighed, tossing the useless tags aside. In the end, only three map fragments remained in her hand.
“This is way too little. There’s no way to find Thora with this.” Shirley rested her chin on one hand and muttered, “I wonder how Luke and the others are doing now.”
She glanced at the three men on the ground, and her eyes brightened. “I’m bored. Can I beat you up for

fun?”

Finished
The men turned pale. Before they could refuse, Shirley clapped her hands. “No answer means yes! I’m very satisfied with your attitude!”
“No!”
“Ah!”
Amid the screams, the three finally realized Shirley was not a harmless girl at all, but a little devil.
On the other side, Thora carried Draven to a large tree sheltered from the wind. After confirming there were no cameras nearby, she immediately used her telekinesis ability, stacking more than a dozen tough broad leaves into a simple shelter. Then, she layered dry leaves underneath to keep the wet mud out.
Her movements were fast and steady.
Only after finishing did she toss Draven into the shelter.
His tall body rolled twice before finally settling.
Thora slipped inside and bent one knee, leaning against the tree trunk.
Her eyes had night vision. She did not need fire to see.
Scanning the darkness around her, she found no trace of firelight within sight. That meant there were no other candidates nearby.
She pulled out a match and lit the pile of branches beside her.
Whoosh!
Flames leapt up, illuminating the shelter and its surroundings.
Only then did she glance sideways at the man behind her, confusion and something strange flickering in her eyes.
His name is Draven.
It sounds very similar to Darius.
That means he is either Darius’s older brother or his younger brother
Darius has never told me he has any siblings.
Yet all the intelligence she had gathered stated that Darius was the Blackwood family’s only child, as well as the sole heir to Nightclaw Pack and Skybound Group.
Draven knew her. That meant there had to be a hidden ‘connection between him and Darius.
She had once suspected Draven was Darius in disguise, but his ability was destruction, while Darius’s was regeneration. They were complete opposites.
Thora removed the silver bracelet from her wrist and pressed a button. In an instant, it assembled into a

silver handgun.
Finished
She casually spun the gun in her hand, staring into the night beyond the shelter, unable to stop thinking of Darius.
I wonder what he is doing now.
