After saying that, Paige no longer looked at him, hurrying the three men up the mountain.
“…” Enrico was walking towards her, and on hearing this, his steps froze.
This woman… is ordering him?
Why is he now a doll in her eyes that can neither run nor move?
Mr. Gustin was actually being bossed around, and he didn’t even argue back.
The sun had come up in the west.
A group of bodyguards passing by Enrico looked at him silently.
Wonderful.
Paige has a harem, and she can still control Mr. Gustin, which is really great.
Dr. Clinton looked back at Enrico in silence.
Enrico raised his eyes and gave him a cold stare, and Dr. Clinton and the bodyguards hurriedly averted their gaze and marched majestically up the mountain.
…
Wind Island’s lone mountain was very small, just one, and there was no long mountain range.
It shouldn’t take too long to walk from one end to the other.
Everyone had assessed this before they set off up the mountain, but they collectively dismissed this idea as soon as they had walked halfway up the rugged mountain path.
It wasn’t the difficulty of the path, but the eerie feeling that pervaded the entire mountain.
It was quiet, very quiet.
But it was also too noisy.
An inexplicable sound of insects was ringing out among the messy plants on both sides, forming a strange symphony.
There were also some tattered pieces of cloth tied to the higher parts of the road, which looked like pale ghostly shadows from the bottom up.
The moonlight slanted over, giving off a cold, foreboding glow.
A foul stench drifted on the breeze, not the putrid stench of a shack, but a distinct rotten stench.
I’m afraid there are corpses and body parts around here…
“Hoo…” A cold breeze blew through, sending shivers down the spine.
“This Quint is really devious. Who dares to go up the mountain easily after he came up with such a plan?”
Dr. Clinton hugged the medical kit in his arms, feeling weak. If he hadn’t been in the group, he would have died of fright just from the smell.
Paige was no stranger to the mountain. She had climbed it before to find food and had fought some beasts. But back then, although the mountain was dangerous, there were no such inexplicable things.
After walking for a while, there were some simple defensive facilities around.
In the eyes of the group, they were useless and were quickly cleared away.
Finally, the three men walking in front of them stopped and looked back at Paige, “Paige, we’re here.”
Paige looked up and saw that they were at a platform in the mountains. The trees in the center had been cut down, leaving only the roots.
It was surrounded by a wooden fence on both sides, and a small courtyard had been built.
In the depths of the courtyard, hidden in the night, the outline of a house could be vaguely seen, which looked much better than a shack.
There was also some food hanging from the post in front of the house.
At the moment, there was no light in the house at all, and it was quiet, with only the sound of the wind.
“Quint lives here, Paige, you can go in. We were really forced to do this, so don’t make trouble for us,” the three men standing there said with sad faces.
“…” Paige stood at the front of the line, looking up at the courtyard in front of her.
She pursed her lips, lifted one foot, and the three men beside her suddenly tightened their breaths, a sinister look of expectation flashing in their eyes.
Paige keenly sensed that instead of moving forward, she kicked one of the men towards the wooden fence with one foot, kicking him into the courtyard.
The man screamed in panic.
Then there was a hissing sound in the silence, and a dozen snakes suddenly swam out from all corners of the courtyard, rushing towards the man in the centre with a clear goal.
“Ahh…” The man let out a scream, and soon he stiffened in the centre of the courtyard, motionless.
Seeing this scene, the group became agitated, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
“There are plants that snakes fear planted in front of the house and on this side. Quint keeps poisonous snakes in the courtyard,”
Paige spoke coldly. She had dealt with snakes before and could tell the truth at a glance.
“So, as long as you don’t enter the courtyard, the snakes won’t come over?” Kevin understood.
Paige nodded.
Hearing this, everyone felt slightly relieved.
“So how do we get there?” Kevin asked, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was bumped in the shoulder.
He turned his head and saw that Enrico had already walked to the front of the line without him knowing when, which would push him to the back and stand next to Paige.
Paige held a white tiger skin whip in her hand, her fingers curled and ready.
She looked at the house in front of her and sneered, raising her voice, “Quint, you don’t think you can stop me by getting a few poisonous snakes, do you?”
“…”
The house stood quietly, as if no one was there.
“When I was fighting snakes on this mountain, you were nowhere to be found,”
Paige said, reaching behind her.
Dr. Clinton quickly opened the medical kit and took out a bottle of clear liquid and placed it in Paige’s palm.
Enrico looked down.
Paige took it and threw the small glass bottle up in the air.
Immediately, she released her fingers, loosened the whip in her hand, and swung her hand stylishly, fiercely whipping the glass bottle towards the door opposite.
The glass bottle smashed and shattered, spilling all over the plants in front of the door.
A luxuriantly growing plant instantly withered and died.
She can even whip so beautifully, she is worthy of him.
Enrico glanced at the woman beside him and his lips curled up slightly.
After the plant died, the snakes that were surrounding the corpse in the courtyard quickly moved towards the door again, swimming densely over, which was a sight that made one’s scalp tingle.
Finally, there was movement in the silent house, and there was more than one person.
Someone was screaming in panic, “Brother Quint, poisonous snakes! The poisonous snakes are coming in!”
“Brother Quint, don’t struggle. That woman Paige is no ordinary person. You can’t beat her. Let’s surrender!”
“Yes, yes. Paige was already very powerful on the island. Now she’s brought a huge cruise ship with her, and she must have guns too. We’re dead.”
After a flurry of panic, a gruff male voice yelled impatiently, “If you want to surrender to that Paige, you go ahead! Get out of here!”
Then there was a loud bang.
The wooden door was kicked open from the inside, and two men poured out, followed by a swarm of snakes.
After two screams, everything returned to silence.
The snakes didn’t dare enter the house, probably because there were also plants they feared inside, so they just hovered outside.
“Disgusting,” Enrico looked at the scene with disgust and said in a low voice, ‘Get the gun.”
What’s the point of talking to someone like this?
“No,’ Paige whispered back.
She couldn’t get the gun, if she shot Quint by accident, she would have to waste time looking for the tree.
Just as she was thinking, the raspy male voice inside came again, “Paige, right? I still have the person you like, if you don’t mind him dying, come!”
The words fell.
Enrico’s eyes darkened, and his face quickly turned sinister.
After a moment of commotion, a figure appeared in the doorway.
Kevin shone the flashlight over, and at the doorway, a handsome young man with a pale face was forced to stand with his hands locked behind his back in the light of the flashlight. He was raggedly dressed, and there were bloodstains all over his body, and it looked like he had been tortured quite a bit.
The young man was blinded by the flashlight, but he refused to bow his head. Instead, he stubbornly looked straight at this side, as if searching for something.
