Chapter 687

From powerful elites with wealth and influence to ambitious groups of unruly schemers—everyone seemed to be after this mysterious treasure. And it wasn't just Pete. Even Stephan had shown interest. Felicia vividly remembered that moment in the rainforest when Stephan admitted he had a reason—one he couldn't ignore—for needing to find that place. What reason could it possibly be? Felicia still hadn't figured that out. Pete hesitated briefly, seemingly struggling to figure out what to say. After some time, he finally responded, "You'll understand when you see it for yourself. All I can tell you is this—it's a place that absolutely can't fall into the hands of others. It's a place everyone dreams of possessing for themselves." A paradise lined with gold? A land of untold treasures? Felicia immediately lost interest. Any curiosity she had was fleeting, barely enough to keep her engaged. For her, the only thing that mattered about the island was finding a Heart Eater to save Maurice.
