“Do you guys need a drone? I can lend you one, so you can go and check out the sea from time to time!” Jaime
continued, his generosity making quite an impression.
His intentions were clear as day, to help the islanders get back on track, keep out of the dispute between the local
people and Rosalynn, and cut off their internet dependency that had grown over time.
“Really? That’s awesome! A male volunteer was ecstatic.
He had been eyeing those drones for a while,
He heard that they were custom-made and even money couldn’t buy them.
“Of course, we’re all here to protect the coral, right? Even though the experts haven’t confirmed if these corals

“Yes, the marine botanist only visited once and never contacted us again. We’ve been on this island for so long, it’d
be a total waste if those corals aren’t endangered species,” someone complained.
“Do you think the validation process is that quick? The botanist said there’s a 99% chance that these corals are

“Right, whether they’re endangered or not, we should be prepared to protect them as if they were!” Jaime nodded
emphatically. “Besides, even if these corals turn out not to be endangered, you shouldn’t feel like this was a waste
of time. Gathering here on this beautiful island, us good folks from all over the world, that in itself is a wonderful
experience!
Everyone clapped. Mike suppressed the urge to praise Jaime.
He suddenly remembered when Jaime arrived on the island, looking ragged and defeated. When he saw Gabriella,
he fell to his knees and cried, saying his grandpa dead.

Nightfall brought a significant drop in temperature on the island, she was worried Alan would catch a cold.
“Who are they?” The man asked.
“A bunch of so-called volunteers showed up, about seventy to eighty of them. One flamboyantly dressed man took

The man frowned slightly, “Seems like they’re here with the CEO of Bane Corporation.”
“That’s what I thought.” Zenobia also frowned.
The man suddenly held his forehead, his hand covered in fresh, ugly scars that looked newly healed.
“Are you having headache again?” Zenobia immediately got worried, trying to support him.
The man instinctively dodged her hand, leaving Zenobia’s hand hanging in the air.
“Alan…” She looked sad.
Alan’s face was pale, he said, “Just give me some time.”
“Alright, I won’t push you. We have plenty of time, I’ll wait for you to recover.” Zenobia smiled gently.
Alan chuckled softly.
