"Just now, a group of foreign pirates rushed in. Without saying anything, they fired indiscriminately with machine guns. They
yelled while turning the base upside down, trying to find what they wanted.They have taken away all the valuable things,
including the antiques, jades, calligraphy works and paintings and the ammunition that you kept in the warehouse. They are all
gone!"
When Gavin heard this, he almost vomited blood out of rage. All those items, which he had collected for a long time, were worth
a lot of money, but now...
"Where are the pirates from? Who do they work for? How dare them ransack my place?" Gavin asked through his gritted teeth.
He sounded like he was about to tear those pirates apart.
"I don't know. They are like rabid dogs. They didn't say a word and killed whoever they saw. There was no chance to talk at all."
"What about you guys? Don't you know how to fight back? What do I keep you for?" Gavin cursed.
"Boss, it's not that we didn't fight back. It's just that there were too many of them. Besides, it was at night ,and we've just finished
eating, so we were a bit mentally slack ..."
"Shit! Shit!" Gavin's anger was beyond description. All the people in the car dared not breathe deeply in fear that he would vent
his anger on them. Those guys in the base were clearly not slacking off, but having fun in Gavin's absence, and were probably
drunk before getting attacked.
When Gavin finished scolding, the guy on the other end of the line added, "Boss, it's not over yet."
"There's more?!" Gavin asked angrily. He felt his head was about to explode.
"When they left, they threw several grenades and blew up the base, and I had a hard time escaping..."
"Why don't you fucking go to die!" After cursing this sentence, Gavin smashed the phone on the ground. The scattered pieces of
the phone showed how angry Gavin was.
Heng Zhang and Alisa looked at each other quietly and saw the fear in each other's eyes. They could vaguely guess what had
happened from Gavin's words.
However, none of them dared to ask, as they had never seen Gavin in such a rage before.
At that moment, in addition to the rattle of the van's engine, the only sound they could hear was Gavin's gasps.
It took several minutes for Gavin to come back to his senses.
His base was on a secluded island, hard to find by outsiders, so he would never believe that those pirates had broken in by
mistake. If they knew where his collections and the arsenal were, there must be a mole in his group. When he was absent, the
pirates and the mole cooperated to destroy his base.
Who was this mole?
As Gavin wondered, several people came to his mind--- K and the two foreign mercenaries who were abandoned last time.
Gavin thought, Kerry had let them go, but they bore a grudge against him, so they took revenge. All in all, they worked for
money, not for friendship.
The atmosphere in the car was extremely depressing. Venus turned her head and looked out of the window, thinking back to the
innocent man who was strangled to death by Heng Zhang two hours ago. She couldn't help but shiver all over.
If she hadn't been so kind and advised Kerry not to kill anyone, Kerry would have just killed Heng Zhang. If so, that honest and
loyal man wouldn't have died today.
At that time, she realized that not all people deserved forgiveness, and that some people who had done too much harm should
have their life ended.
She vowed that she would never care about that many things again, since life and death are predestined and wealth and honor
come down to luck.
Suddenly, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her from behind. She turned around and met a pair of wrathful and cruel eyes. They
were Gavin's.
She subconsciously shrunk her neck, feeling that Gavin was going to chop her up and eat her.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I did not mess with you." Venus hugged her arms tightly and desired to leave this horrible
place.
Gavin gave her a glance. He was just wondering if it had something to do with Kerry, but he didn't think Kerry was that big of a
man. After all, those vicious gangsters didn't believe in anyone easily.
Now, the most urgent question he faced was whether to continue looking for the treasure which was nowhere near being found,
or to go back immediately to reduce the loss. Because he had a strong intuition that if those pirates were seeking revenge on
purpose, the other bases may also be their targets.
As he thought of this, Gavin said to Heng Zhang, "Get in touch with a few villas and ask if anything has happened." He was so
impulsive just now that his phone was smashed to pieces.
Heng Zhang immediately took out his cell phone to contact people in the island and the line was quickly connected, "This is
Heng Zhang, is everything all right these days?"
"Yes, nothing has happened."
"Good, keep guard over it and don't slack off."
Heng Zhang continued to make several more phone calls and got the same answer.
"Boss, everything is fine." Heng Zhang plucked up the courage to ask, "Boss, what just happened?"
Gavin's eyes were cold and he answered word by word, "The Moon Island has been attacked."
"Huh?" Alisa and Heng Zhang were both shocked. Although Venus didn't know what the Moon Island was for, judging from the
reactions of the three of them, it should be a very important place.
"Who did this? How was the damage?" Heng Zhang couldn't help but ask.
Gavin seemed to be trying to calm himself down and was silent for a long time before he said, "The island was ransacked and
half of the people died."
Heng Zhang felt his brain was going to explode. The island was ransacked?
The Moon Island was their home base, which contained guns and ammunition, as well as the boss's priceless collections and a
whole box of gold bullion, so 24-hour duty had been carried out every day. Moreover, the island couldn't be found on the satellite
and even in Gavin's group, few people knew about it. All these years, the island had not undergone one incident, how could it be
ransacked?
"Who did it?" Apparently Alisa couldn't believe in what she heard either. She already forgot that the person she was asking was
her inviolable boss.
"A group of pirates, they said." Gavin said this through his gritted teeth.
Listening to their conversation quietly, Venus was overjoyed in spite of her seemingly indifferent look. She laughed to herself at
the thought that Gavin was doing evil in the mainland, but someone took advantage of his absence to destroyed his base. This
was exactly what people called karma.
"Then, should we go back?" Alisa asked apprehensively.
"Those pirates come and go without a trace, and we're no match for them at sea. There's no point in going back now." Gavin
made his decision a second ago, "We have to find the treasure as soon as possible, so that we can make up for all the losses."
Alisa and Heng Zhang were speechless. They felt deep in their hearts that going back as soon as possible was the key, but
because they were subordinates, they had to do what their boss told them.
Without the baby, the treasure hunting was able to speed up. Venus pretended to fall down from time to time to slow down the
speed, but Alisa was fully aware of her intention.
"Venus, if you continue to deliberately stall time, I don't mind letting our bodyguards stay with you, and let them relax on the way."
Alisa said this with a smile on her lips, but her tone chilled Venus.
"I can walk by myself." She retorted, quickened her pace, and walked beside Mr. Cai. Among all the people, only Mr. Cai was
neutral, or at least not hateful toward her.
The place they had come to today was the small county town where they had a fight with Kerry, and they returned because Mr.
Cai deduced that the treasure was most likely hidden there.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place. Kerry and Tianye Mu would not have thought that they
would return.
The road uphill was very steep. When they reached a place where there was no path through the bushes, Gavin pushed Venus
to the front without mercy and let her explore the road.
She was afraid of snakes, insects, mice, ants and so on since she was a child, so before she took every step, she would poke
with a tree branch to remind the animals in the grass to get out of the way as soon as possible. Otherwise she would be scared
to death if she stepped on something soft.
After walking for three or four meters, Venus's calves and arms were all scratched by the bushes and branches, but Gavin was
still urging her, "Walk faster."
She got irritated, so she turned to shout at Gavin, "Put up or shut up! You are only good at bullying a women."
"Cut the crap and keep moving."
When they finally reached a broader area, Gavin said, "Let's take a break."
At this point, Venus's clothes were all soaked with sweat. She came to a strange-looking rock, sat down and wiped her sweat
with her sleeves. Suddenly she felt that the ground under her feet was soft, she subconsciously stepped on it two more times.
But she quickly jumped off the stone with a scream and ran away.
Some people were startled by Venus's behavior and looked at her with confusion on their faces.
"What the hell are you screaming about?" Alisa asked in disgust.
Venus was gasping and her face turned white. She said with a trembling voice, "The ground there ...there is soft. I don't know
what is underneath."
Hearing this, Alisa stepped back silently. She was also a woman after all.
Heng Zhang took out his dagger from his waist and gradually move toward where Venus was pointing. Whoosh! The dagger had
glided through the air and was forcibly thrust into the earth. Its blade was buried underneath the earth and only the handle was
visible.
Everyone stared at the dagger. Time seemed to stand still, and even the sound of the wind became weaker. After half a minute
of silence, nothing had happened.
