After a few minutes, Cheyenne gritted her teeth and said, “You said I kick the blanket and snore when I sleep… Aren’t you afraid?”
Hearing this, Kelvin turned his head and pulled her into his arms, covering her with the blanket.
“It’s okay, I can tolerate all your shortcomings.”
She rolled her eyes at his words, feeling speechless. “Oh, thank you so much, let me go.”
Of course, Kelvin didn’t let go. He smiled lightly and continued, “Don’t be angry, go to sleep.”
“Don’t forget, we have to get up at five tomorrow morning. If we sleep in, everyone might think we did it together.”
“I’m not afraid. Anyway, I have thick skin. I just feel like I’m losing out. I didn’t do anything bad.”
Cheyenne glared at him fiercely and turned away on purpose. “Shut up and go to sleep!”
Seeing that she finally stopped making trouble, Kelvin also turned in another direction and hugged her from behind.
Resting his head on her pillow, he sniffed her hair. “You changed your shampoo, this smell is nice.”
“Where’s your pillow?”
“It’s on the floor.”
“Pick it up and sleep on your side.”
“No, it’s not as soft as yours without you.”
Hearing his spoiled tone, Cheyenne felt goosebumps all over her body and took a deep breath. “Stop being so annoying, or I’ll kick you off.”
“Okay, Honey, goodnight.”
The next day, at five in the morning, it was already bright in winter, but outside the window, it was still a grayish-blue color.
The private plane was waiting on the rooftop of the hotel for everyone.
Cheyenne couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the dozen or so cold, burly men in military green uniforms with colorful paint on their faces sitting on the plane.
“Are these people going with us too?”
Iker nodded. He had wanted to sit next to Cheyenne, but Kelvin, who was jealous, deliberately took the lead.
He could only sit on the right side, with Kelvin in between, and an aisle separating him from Cheyenne.
Cheyenne frowned slightly at Kelvin. She saw through his little scheme just now.
Did he not trust her or himself?
But since Master Iker didn’t say anything, she didn’t bother to care.
“I don’t mean anything by it. I just think this operation is full of unknown risks and I’m worried about implicating the innocent.”
Master Iker explained, “Well, they’ll stay outside the island to support us at any time. Cheyenne, rest assured, these are my elite soldiers, all seasoned warriors.”
For the next three hours, everyone quickly checked their equipment to ensure everything was in order.
Three hours later, the private plane arrived at a small group of islands closest to Dragon Serpent Isle.
Because Dragon Serpent Isle stood alone in the middle of the sea, without any direct route, they had to abandon the plane and choose to take a motorboat.
And the dozen or so elite soldiers were left by Iker on the small group of islands to support them at any time.
From afar, everyone could see Dragon Serpent Isle not far away, like a green gem left in the vast sea.
Lush vegetation covered the entire small island, and the surrounding seawater appeared slightly darker than other areas.
If it were just for tourism, Cheyenne would definitely admire its unique beauty.
But the thought of the dense population of snakes, insects, rats, and ants on it made her instantly lose interest.
“At a 45-degree angle, about 150 kilometers.”
Iker stood on the bow of the ship, holding a telescope.
The salty sea breeze blew on his face, rustling his clothes.
“Got it.”
Kelvin rolled up his sleeves, revealing his sturdy, bronze-toned arms, and took hold of the helm to steer the entire motorboat.
Seeing him in such a proficient driving posture, Cheyenne curiously asked, “You can actually drive a boat! Didn’t I remember you being afraid of water?”
With an indifferent tone, the man slightly parted his lips and uttered the words, “It’s precisely because I’m afraid of death that I bought a yacht afterwards to learn how to sail and escape.”
“That’s not right. We have a yacht at home. Why didn’t you mention it earlier? We haven’t even played on it yet,” Cheyenne said.
Kelvin cleared his throat lightly, feeling guilty, “I never had the time before, and you never asked.”
Mainly because when he was young, he never thought about doing such things; his world was all about work.
“After we return this time, I’ll take you and the kids to Love Island for a few days on the yacht,” he promised.
Cheyenne was speechless. Clearly, it was because he had never thought about taking her to play before! Hmph!
Meanwhile, others were puzzled about where “Love Island” was. They had never heard of such a name!
Before long, the motorboat arrived at a small beach on the east side of Dragon Serpent Isle and came to a stop by the shore.
Iker was the first to jump off the deck. He slung his luggage bag over his back and turned around to solemnly warn everyone, “The moment we set foot on this land, it signifies imminent danger. Everyone must be careful.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve been to the Palace of the King of Hell countless times,” Old Bray boasted.
Leandro immediately retorted, “Look at you now, you’re not the same as before. As long as we old guys don’t hold back the kids, it’ll be fine.”
“Get lost, you’re the one holding us back,” Old Bray shot back.
…
Seeing the two about to argue again, Paisley grabbed a piece of protective clothing and threw it over, hitting Old Bray in the chest.
“Stop babbling and put on your clothes and move!” she demanded.
Now Old Bray wilted, quickly putting on his clothes, afraid of provoking her anger.
On the other side, Cheyenne was also fully armed. She wore a green military coat over her sportswear.
Kelvin even helped her fasten the top button and put on a mask and protective hat.
“It’s so hot,” she complained.
While it was midwinter outside, the island felt like a midsummer day. She was wearing two layers of clothes… and she hadn’t even started walking yet, but she was already sweating.
Just as she reached to undo a button, Kelvin suddenly slapped her hand.
“Don’t move. There are poisonous insects and ants all over the forest. Your skin is so delicate; if you get bitten, it won’t be good for you.”
“Cheyenne, Mr. Foley is right. Just endure it,” Iker kindly advised her.
Now Cheyenne dared not move carelessly. If it’s hot, it’s hot. She’ll just consider it a sauna.
After getting dressed, everyone armed themselves and carried their bags, heading towards the center of the island.
As soon as she took a step forward, Cheyenne saw a pitch-black snake lurking in the bushes.
She stepped back and used a stick she found to poke it away into the nearby bushes.
“This snake isn’t venomous,” she remarked.
“I know. This is just the outskirts… it might not be so lucky as we go further in,” Kelvin replied.
