Chapter 604 - So Miserable (1)

July 6th, the eve of the hunting festival...

Rex pushed the wheelchair to the wall in the courtyard, picked up an apple, and took out a note from it. It said, "Little fish takes the bait."

"Mr. Baron, do you want to eat apples? Pablo sent apples and pears over earlier. Should I wash them and send them over?" the maid asked from afar.

"No need," Rex smiled at her and said, "It was me who wanted to eat it."

As he spoke, he picked up the apple on the ground, wiped it clean with his sleeve, and took a bite. When the maid saw that he was still looking at her, her face immediately flushed red, and she quickly left to do something else.

Rex shrugged in confusion. Then, he pushed the wheelchair into the door and said to Vincent, who was drinking tea at the table, "Mr. Vincent, they caught Timmy."

Vincent put down his teacup, picked up a chess piece, and said in a low and confident voice, "It's time to haul in the net."

Rex took a look at the chessboard, only to see thousands of soldiers surrounding the general and his men.

The general had voluntarily walked in the trap.

And there was no escape for him and his soldiers.

"Sir, there is one more thing." Rex whispered, "Miss Emily still has no signs of recovery. Do you want to use Pablo's blood?"

"No need. She's not poisoned." Vincent rubbed the chess piece in his hand. He lost his train of thought and couldn't place it down. After a long time, he observed the grim situation on the chessboard and said in a low voice, "Wait a little longer. It will be over soon."

Rex could tell the undertone of his words.

When it was over, he would take the little Hulk and leave this place.

He was told that this was his home, but he had been here for several months and never felt it.

Everyone was on guard against him, afraid that he would take away Pablo's position.

How would they know? He didn't even care about that position. The only thing he cared about was the little Hulk who came all the way here but didn't remember him.

...

Timmy was sitting in the prison cell with a gloomy face.

The moment they stepped onto Emerald Island, they all wore wigs, and they even split up to avoid attracting attention. Along the way, they left some marks and hoped that Timothy would respond when she saw it. However, when they checked the marks later, they found they had been doodled. As Timmy tried to take a closer look, a team of patrols surrounded them.

The man in the lead wore a mask and said to the patrol, "This man looks strange. Take him away."

"Yes, sir."

Timmy did not expect that the people here would notice him. After all, his disguise was perfect.

When Zack was searching his body, the flare in his pocket had been found. But Zack quickly put it into his pocket before other guards would notice.

"You?" Timmy wanted to say something, but the masked man lowered his voice and said, "If you want your sister to be fine, stay silent. No matter what others ask you, don't answer it. You will see your sister soon."

Timmy widened his eyes as many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Timothy was actually here!

How could they recognize him and Timothy?

Then he realized that they had been targeted from the moment they got here!

What were they trying to do?

Did they want to use him to threaten his father to hand over the throne of the Divine Immortal Island?

They wish!

Even if he, Timmy, died here, he would never become his parents' liability!

The masked man seemed to see through his mind. Before leaving, he added another sentence, "We will let you go back. Your sister is fine."

Timmy scrutinized him with suspicion, but he could only see a pair of dull and sincere eyes through the cold mask.

Sincerity?

They kidnapped them but they were being sincere?

That night, as expected, some guards came to interrogate him. Nonetheless, Timmy did not speak. The people he brought carefully replied. They said that they wanted to do business, but they were caught as soon as they arrived. They didn't know whether the guards bought it. After that, the guards ranted and raved and left for drinking after wielding the whips at the bar a few times. They said that there would be a hunting festival tomorrow, and their superiors had prepared fine wine and delicious food for the people that could not participate.

Only then did Timmy remember that tomorrow was the Summer Hunting Festival of Emerald Island. He heard that the winner would be titled the warrior of the island that would become the center of all the women's attention. Therefore, all the men on the island would be eager to participate, hoping to win first place. This year, the new successor added bonus reward for the winner and a new position. So, there were even more people crazy about the game.

The participants of the festival had no strict limitations. Thus, during the summer or winter hunting, everyone on the island would put down their work to enjoy this event.

But the prisoners would be excluded.

Timmy furrowed his brows. If he had lit the flare before he was caught, someone would have found out that they were from the Divine Immortal Island. Perhaps, before the reinforcements arrived, the leader here would have given the order to execute him. After all, there was a rule between the two islands that anyone who set foot on the other island would be killed immediately.

When he was captured, he even wondered if his sister would also be locked up in the dungeon. However, when he came in, he found she was not. So where would she be?

And the masked man, did he tell true?
