Chapter 452
Shortly after that, North managed to master the skills and command effectively.
Not only that, but they even managed to capture a good number of the giant balls. As a string was attached to
each of the balls, the edge of their boat was full of strings attached to it not long after.
Two hours later, the three of them returned to land fruitfully.
After getting on land, Eugene took them to collect the gifts. At this point, Olivia said, "I'm a little thirsty. Let me go
buy some water."
Eugene stopped her as he was afraid that she would get lost. He charged, "Let me go and get it. You'll collect the
gifts here with North. Don't go anywhere; I'll be back as soon as possible."
After giving it some thought, Olivia responded, "Sure."
Subsequently, Eugene left while the number of people in line was longer than she expected.
Seeing the number of people waiting in line before her, Olivia felt like giving up. "North, do you still want the gifts?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNorth looked at her, feeling befuddled. "Why not?"
"There are so many people here. I'm afraid it may take a while."
Meanwhile, North's brows furrowed into a narrow frown. "It took us so much effort to catch those balls. Why don't
we want the gifts even before I know what they are!"
Olivia agreed with him. This was human nature: what mattered to people was not the price of the gifts, but the
surprise that came with them.
Perhaps people would stop wanting the gifts the moment they found out what they were.
"Sure. Let's keep waiting then.
The moment she finished, a man in a suit walked past them and saw them by chance. "Are you guys here to collect
gifts as well?"
Olivia nodded.
Then, that man stopped in his tracks and sized her up before letting out a smile. "How long is this going to take?
Why don’t you come with me as I know the owner of this business well. I can bring you through another way."
The first thought that crossed Olivia's mind was to go with him as her patience had indeed run thin. She reckoned
that she had never wasted her time in this way before.
However, on second thought, why was this man willing to help them for no reason?
So, she decided to reject his offer tacitly. "We’re good. We'll just wait here."
That man edged in. "Don't be so courteous! Don't worry; I'm not a bad guy. I'm the patrol officer on this island, and I
was just trying to help seeing how you have a kid with you. Please don't overthink!"
Upon hearing this, Olivia asked, "You’re a patrol officer? You know the owner of this island?"
That man responded, "Of course! It's Mr. Nolan!"
After hearing this, Olivia felt at ease. She smiled and indicated, "Sure. Please help us then."
Right away, a demonic smile appeared on his face as he took Olivia and North in one of the directions. After taking
many turns and walking a distance, it felt like their surroundings were getting more unfamiliar.
At this point, Olivia felt that something was not right. "Didn't you say we were going to get our gifts? Why are we
getting further and further away?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat man responded calmly, "We just need to keep going and we'll eventually reach the underground passage that
was built when they first built the theme park. We’re almost there!"
As he spoke, he stopped right outside a door of a room. Then, he pushed the door open. "We’ll go in from here."
Standing outside the door, Olivia looked around, realizing that there was a living room and a kitchen, and it seemed
like someone lived there.
This place might perhaps be where this man lived.
Olivia began to look skeptical while a cold sneer crept over her face. Why would an underground passage be built in
a staff's room?
How old does he think I am? Three?
"Are you really the patrol officer here?" asked Olivia.
That man replied, "Of course. I have a badge. Why would I lie to you?"
Olivia sneered. "Can you tell me what on earth Mr. Nolan was thinking when he decided to build an underground
passage in one of the rooms of his staff?"
The smile on the man's face instantly froze as he tried to explain himself. "No one lives here. I only rest here
occasionally."
