Two days later, an unknown foreign southeastern port.
"Lin Fan? Hello, I am Yorkshire."
Under the bright sun, Lin Fan disembarked from the travel ship, carrying his suitcase amidst the crowd of travelers.
He squinted to carefully observe the exotic surroundings.
Suddenly, he saw a man from Xia Country in a plaid shirt and beach shorts, smiling and walking over.
Their eyes t, and the man gestured toward the ferry vehicle under the coconut trees by the roadside not far away.
"Your companion already arrived ahead of ti and is settled in a nearby hotel."
Yorkshire spoke as he walked, his smile unchanged, much like the local hotel attendants soliciting guests.
"It doesn’t seem too peaceful here."
Lin Fan cast a deep glance at the other person.
Although he looked ordinary, there was a subtle presence of Qi Force emanating from him.
He should be a deeply hidden martial arts expert.
And "Yorkshire" is the na of a breed of pet dog... so, is it simply a code na?
"Hey, you’re right, this place is not like ho, don’t wander outside idly, especially avoid casinos and nightclubs."
Yorkshire playfully glanced at Lin Fan’s lower half.
"Of course, if you really can’t hold back, rember to use protection... the won here with AIDS won’t be honest with you."
"As for weapons, I can provide so light ones for you two if needed, to the best of my ability."
"I don’t need any weapons, tell more about how to blend into the supply ship."
Lin Fan got into the car and calmly shook his head.
"It’s simple, when the ti cos, I’ll use special channels to swap your identities with debt-ridden gamblers and send you along with the supplies into the Prison Island to serve as cleaning slaves."
Yorkshire seed slightly surprised but didn’t ask further, nodding his head.
Being secretly sent from ho to infiltrate the Domatra Prison Island, tightly controlled by the Holy Poison Sect.
You must have so skills to accomplish this.
Even if this young man seems ordinary, Yorkshire still held no contempt.
"Subordinate Shi Potian, paying respects to Young Master!"
After a while, the ferry vehicle left the shore, entering an inconspicuous resort hotel.
Following Yorkshire’s lead, Lin Fan arrived at a room on the third floor.
He t his Right Protector Shi Potian from the Human Tower again.
"Alright, rise. It was tough for you to co all the way from Sha Country this ti."
Lin Fan helped Shi Potian up, who was kneeling on one knee, smiling and nodding.
This guy still wore the attire of a real estate agent.
He was dressed in a suit and tie with a ticulously combed wig.
Compared to their brief eting in Haicheng last ti, he seed a bit plump.
Looks like the food in Sha Country is quite good...
"It’s my honor to serve the Young Master, it’s not hard at all!"
Shi Potian scratched his head, smiling with surprise.
He didn’t expect to suddenly be summoned by Lin Fan to partake in a big mission.
Perhaps, he left too deep an impression on him last ti?
Instantly, Shi Potian straightened his posture, standing beside Lin Fan like a loyal follower.
"Is he not part of our system?"
Seeing this, Yorkshire was a bit bewildered, scrutinely examining Lin Fan and Shi Potian again.
He initially thought both of them were from the safety departnt of Xia Country.
As he has been stationed abroad for fieldwork for many years, he wasn’t too familiar with them.
But hearing the term "Young Master," it was clearly related to gang dynamics within Jianghu!
Yorkshire thought more about it, feeling sothing was off, his gaze turned peculiar.
"Whether a mber of the system or not doesn’t have much impact on this mission, my subordinates, I trust them."
Lin Fan didn’t explain much, instead taking out the special satellite phone given by Nie Feng earlier.
"If you have any doubts, you can imdiately contact the holand’s higher-ups."
"...No need, the orders I received are to fully cooperate with your actions unconditionally."
Yorkshire hesitated a bit, then shook his head, temporarily suppressing his suspicions.
The three discussed briefly in the room.
After giving two reminders, Yorkshire left to secretly prepare.
In the following days, Lin Fan and Shi Potian stayed at the resort hotel, enduring a long boredom.
He inquired a lot about the situation over in Sha Country.
However, Shi Potian was busy enjoying food and drinks, not paying much attention.
After all, Master Feng was taking the lead.
He comfortably enjoyed high-standard treatnt, but he recounted Sha Country’s capital delicacies extensively.
"Have any of the other brothers within the tower experienced the effects of Serenity Powder?"
```
It was another boring afternoon of waiting.
Lin Fan and Shi Potian lay on the beach chairs by the pool, chatting idly.
He touched the Vermilion Bird Ring between his fingers and suddenly asked.
"Well, there are. Fortunately, the Holy Poison Sect provided a lot of suppressive drugs before, so we can hold on for now."
Shi Potian looked simple-minded, but his eyes were darting everywhere.
"Young Master, I think you should keep an eye on Master Feng. He’s been doing exceptionally well in the Sha Country, and there’s no guarantee he won’t develop so unusual thoughts."
"I’m aware of that. Unless he doesn’t want next year’s Serenity Powder... Do you know about the ti when the Hai City Yuan Family was chosen as the Sect Manager of the Human Tower?"
Lin Fan’s eyes flickered, and he changed the topic.
He had always been very puzzled.
If his mother was truly sent, as Ying Wenyuan claid, to assassinate soone back then.
And who could command her while holding the Vermilion Bird Ring?
None other than the Master of Heaven and Earth Second Building, who holds a higher status than the Human Tower Master!
But when his mother took him and fled to Haicheng seven years ago, did she really not know the true background of the Yuan family?
If she had revealed her identity earlier, they wouldn’t have had to live such a miserable life, enduring the disdain of the Su Family...
Thoughts swirled and tangled in Lin Fan’s mind, and he silently shook his head, frowning.
"This... although I’ve been in the sect for a long ti, these matters are probably from many years ago, and I’m not aware of them."
Shi Potian hesitated and shook his head.
"I think I heard Master Feng ntion it a few tis. Our Human Tower’s businesses are not just in Hai City Yuan Family. If we could visit the ruins of the Human Tower’s previous headquarters, find whatever records were left, we might be able to fully understand."
"...Forget it, let’s talk about it later. The urgent task is to sneak onto the Prison Island and rescue Adele and my ntor."
Lin Fan felt a hint of disappointnt and decided not to say more, instead closing his eyes to rest.
By evening, as the sky gradually darkened, Yorkshire, who had been missing for several days, reappeared.
"The boat is here, put on these clothes and follow ."
He brought two sets of clearly specially-made simple outfits and tossed them to Lin Fan and Shi Potian, looking very serious.
"There was an unexpected incident; news ca from the island that a big shot is visiting, and the surveillance there has beco much more cautious. You must be very careful."
"If you can’t rescue them, don’t expose your identity... Several foreign special departnt personnel also blended in before but ended up losing their lives instead of saving anyone."
"So, there are other important figures from different countries detained inside?"
Lin Fan’s heart stirred as he nimbly changed clothes, asking thoughtfully.
"Those have nothing to do with our mission. To avoid extra trouble, don’t ddle."
Yorkshire’s face changed slightly, and his voice turned lower.
"Each takes care of their own business. The Holy Poison Sect’s real intent on Prison Island isn’t just detaining those high-ranking officials; they might be conducting so secret research."
"If you carelessly expose your identity and end up as guinea pigs, I won’t be able to get you out."
"Got it, I understand what to do."
Lin Fan nodded, hiding a box of silver needles in his clothes, exchanged a glance with Shi Potian.
The three of them imdiately left the resort hotel under the cover of night, heading to the bustling harbor under the cloak of night.
The people coming and going were in a hurry, so were travelers, others were crew mbers just returning from a voyage.
No one paid much attention to Lin Fan and the other two.
After a mont, a dim spotlight appeared from afar on the dark sea surface, sweeping towards them.
"Good luck to you both, and return triumphant. I’ll wait for you at the hotel for half a month."
Seeing this, Yorkshire withdrew his gaze from the sea and said solemnly.
"If there’s still no word from you after half a month, I’ll submit a mission failure report back ho."
"Thank you, see you in half a month then."
Lin Fan’s heart tightened, knowing the consequences once declared a mission failure.
That would be having no support, leaving both of them on Prison Island to fend for themselves!
"Boss, it’s these two, they owe our company a huge gambling debt, and they can only pay with their lives, are you satisfied with how it is now?"
With a bang, the small cargo ship gradually approached, stopping before the deck.
Yorkshire imdiately changed his deanor, grinning as he spoke the local dialect to the hook-nosed man on the deck.
"If they don’t listen, they should know what the consequences are."
The hook-nosed man looked Lin Fan and Shi Potian up and down, reluctantly nodded, pulled out a roll of cash, and tossed it to Yorkshire.
Then, picking up a walkie-talkie, he spoke in a gloomy tone for a few monts before waving Lin Fan and Shi Potian over.
"Once you’re there, work hard. Don’t you dare think about escaping, or your families will suffer too!"
Yorkshire’s expression turned stern, and he kicked Lin Fan and Shi Potian onto the deck, cursing and threatening them.
"We won’t, we won’t, we’ll behave ourselves and won’t cause any more trouble for the company."
Lin Fan put on a fearful appearance, standing alongside Shi Potian behind the hook-nosed man.
The wailing ship’s whistle sounded again.
The cargo ship swayed and set sail once more, heading towards the distant sea.
Watching Yorkshire’s silhouette on the shore grow fainter under the night lights.
Lin Fan couldn’t help but take a deep breath, exchanging a glance with Shi Potian.
The journey ahead would have the two of them all on their own, relying solely on themselves for everything.
