It was probably because he was uncomfortable in the light, and he couldn’t see clearly, but he kept looking anyway.
Probably knowing who the young man was looking for, Enrico pulled Paige over and pulled her behind him.
Paige had already seen the young man’s appearance, and her heart relaxed. “Alfredo?”
He’s not dead.
That’s good, there’s one more person alive on the island, and Arjun will feel better knowing that.
“Paige?” The young man seemed unable to believe it, weakly looking in her direction, “Is that you?”
His voice was clear, but with a hint of tremor.
“Paige, are you sure? It’s the person you like, right?”
Quint shouted from behind Alfredo.
Fearing that she might shoot him in the head, Quint huddled behind Alfredo, his bald head faintly visible.
He raised one hand, holding a poisonous snake in it. The snake’s mouth was open, spitting out its core, almost ready to bite Alfredo’s pale neck. “Paige, you really are something, after all these years away from Wind Island, you’ve still managed to come back.”
Paige stepped out from behind Enrico and sneered, “You spent so long and still couldn’t rule Wind Island, you must be quite disappointed, right?”
This remark was too hurtful.
Quint almost jumped up from behind Alfredo, “Paige, don’t be so arrogant. I don’t know how you managed to come back, but the life of the person you like is now in my hands!”
“…”
Alfredo lowered his eyes, annoyed that he had caused trouble for Paige.
“If you want him to live, throw me all your guns, everyone retreat into the forest, and find a dinghy for me on your cruise ship!”
Quint spoke to her even louder, telling her the terms. He no longer wanted to stay in this place, he wanted to get out.
As he spoke, he brought the snake’s head closer to Alfredo’s neck, “Hurry up! Otherwise, I’ll make you like the person die with me!”
Like the person…
You just won’t stop talking, will you?
Enrico stood in the night, his thin lips curling into an expression of displeasure, and the gloom in his eyes grew thicker and thicker.
The next second, without waiting for Paige to negotiate, he put his arms around Paige’s thin shoulders, embraced her in his arms, wrapped his large hands around her eyes, pulled out his gun from his waist, and shot at Alfredo, who was standing vacantly by the door.
“Bang.”
“Bang.”
“Bang.”
Three shots in a row.
Each shot hit its mark.
His eyes were like those of a killer.
“No…” Paige shouted in shock, quickly grasping Enrico’s hand. She saw Alfredo sitting weakly in the doorway, his trousers covered in blood. His handsome face was shaking, but there was no sign of pain.
He looked over here in disbelief.
Quint, on the other hand, had already fallen to the ground, the blood on his trousers so dark it was almost black. He was screaming desperately, “Ahhh…”
Enrico’s bullet pierced Alfredo’s legs and hit Quint.
His aim was impeccable.
But just in case…
Paige stood there, her breathing becoming heavier, and glared at the man next to her.
Enrico had already holstered his gun, and he looked at her nonchalantly. When he saw her glaring at him, he shrugged, “I didn’t shoot. I didn’t move.”
Fearing that she wouldn’t believe him, he turned his head and looked at the group behind him, “Did you see me shoot?”
“No!” The people in the front of the line were all Enrico’s subordinates, and they all answered in unison.
Dr. Clinton, who was carrying a medical kit, was glanced at by Enrico, and immediately understood what was going on, and said, “Miss, I fired the gun. Was it accurate?”
“…”
Kevin, who had seen everything, looked on silently and didn’t say anything.
“…”
Paige looked at his shoulders. He was dressed lightly, and at this moment, when he moved, the blood color had already faintly seeped out, staining the white clothes red.
She pursed her lips, her face darkening a little, and in the end she didn’t say anything, just turned and walked towards the courtyard.
“You watch your back!” Enrico didn’t expect her to just rush into the courtyard so impulsively, and he was suddenly scared, his face changing.
The snakes swam towards Paige as soon as they smelled the blood. Paige swung the whip in her hand with a cold face, and only heard a clear and loud whip sound. Several snakes were knocked into the air, flailing around and smashing everywhere.
One snake fell on the leaves next to it. Dr. Clinton watched in a state of shock, his breathing coming in short gasps, and leaned all the way over Kevin.
Kevin pushed him away with disgust.
Alfredo sat collapsed in the doorway, his pale face raised in shock, watching as Paige walked fearlessly into the courtyard. He covered his heart and said, “Be careful, Paige…”
Paige ignored the snakes and walked forward, step by step.
The poisonous snakes seemed to be afraid, hovering around Paige’s feet, but not daring to get any closer.
Her cold, knife-like eyes stared at Quint, who was lying on the ground and wailing. A little blood on her face added to her murderous aura.
When she saw her coming, Quint was completely shocked and threw the poisonous snake in his hand at her with all his strength.
Paige swung the whip in her hand sideways.
A slender poisonous snake was split in half in mid-air, and blood splattered all over the ground.
“…”
The large group fell silent.
Did this mountain really need so many of them to come up?
Enrico stepped onto the wooden fence, his dark eyes looking at the different positions of Alfredo and Quint, before finally landing on Paige’s back.
Alfredo was sitting by the door, thinking that Paige had come to save him, struggling to stand up but unable to.
He looked at her and saw blood on her clothes and face, and a worried look in her eyes. “Paige, are you hurt?”
“…” Paige didn’t speak to him, just looked at Quint, who was half-covered in blood.
The look in her eyes was cold, penetrating to the bone, and fierce, as if she were about to kill someone, and it made Alfredo feel panicked for Quint.
“Don’t come any closer…” Quint, as the person involved, was naturally even more scared. He struggled to get up from the ground, ignoring the three bloody holes in his leg, and knelt all the way from the door to in front of Paige, looking up at her in horror and saying, “I won’t dare again, Paige, I won’t dare again… You take Alfredo away, spare my life…”
Seeing that Paige didn’t care about Alfredo in the first place, Enrico’s gaze became distracted.
“Where is that tree?” Paige asked, holding the whip in one hand, looking coldly at Quint with lowered eyes, word by word.
Quint knelt on the ground, looking at her in shock, ‘What tree?”
“The tree that looks like a dead tree, but is still blooming and bearing fruit. You cut it down, where is it?’ Paige continued to ask.
Hearing this, Quint froze for a moment and began to understand. No wonder Paige didn’t kill him right away, it turned out that she wanted that tree.
He suddenly laughed wildly, “Looking for a tree, is that it? Okay, Paige, I’ll still do what I just asked for, let me leave this place, and I’ll tell you where the tree is… Ahh…”
Before he could finish speaking, Paige lashed out at him with a whip.
“Pop…” A very loud whip.
Quint was instantly knocked to the ground, shrinking into a ball, and his bare head was also swept by the whip, splitting his scalp open and causing blood to gush out.
