NovelFastChapter 1731:
The island lay shrouded in thick vegetation. The varying heights of the dense greenery revealed the rolling
terrain beneath, with shadowy mountain silhouettes rising and falling in layered ridges against the sky.
Corrine’s gaze narrowed with recognition. Something about this landscape stirred her memory—it bore a striking
resemblance to the Tomb Mountain region in Lyhaton.
Corrine shed her oxygen tank, secured her backpack firmly across her shoulders, and dropped into a low stance
before vanishing into the embracing shadows of the forest.
The island lay in absolute stillness, not even the buzz of insects breaking the hush. In that complete silence,
Corrine could hear the rhythm of her own heart pounding in her chest. She drew the dagger from her boot,
gripping it tightly, and crept forward in a low crouch.
The forest stretched before her in ancient, untouched splendor—so wild and unmarked that it felt like a place

She had only taken a few steps when soft footsteps brushed through the underbrush nearby.
“This place is ours now. Those guys ran off like scared rabbits. Are we really still on edge for nothing?”
“Doesn't matter. We're getting paid. Nate's head alone is worth a billion bucks.”
“A billion? Seriously?”
“Shut up! Keep it down!”
Corrine slipped between thick shrubs, parting the foliage just enough to see two armed men sweeping the area
ahead.
A quick glance around confirmed her advantage, and she moved swiftly to circle behind them. Timing her strike
with precision, she sprang from cover, slashing her dagger across one man’s throat in a single fluid motion.
