Chapter 281

Payne, following the orders of Kieran, initiated a search on the deserted islands nearby.

“From the position of the cruise ship, there are two closest uninhabited Islands. One is in front of the ship and the other one is behind,” Payne reported.

“You and Julien take a team to the island behind the ship, the rest of us will check out the one in front,” Kieran instructed, aiming to consolidate resources as quickly as possible.

Kleran led the airborne team directly to the island in front, while Payne suggested over the radio, “The probability of them being on the island behind the ship is higher since that’s the direction the cruise was coming from.”

“Check the cruise’s route logs,” Julien advised Payne.

Payne slapped his forehead, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

Julien had a bad feeling, he suspected that the cruise might have made a round trip.

And indeed, Julien’s intuition was spot on.

Over an hour ago, Kleist, concerned for his young master’s safety, decided to use a diversion tactic. He first dropped off Julie and his young master on this uninhabited island, then drove the cruise ship back to mislead the enemies.

So, Julie and Kleist’s young master were on the island in front.

Kieran, leading the airborne team, headed directly for the island)

Julie was crouched next to a large tree, a gun in her hand, vigilantly observing her surroundings. In front of her was a small beach, her location was very conspicuous.

While still on the helicopter, Kieran spotted the small figure huddled by the tree through his binoculars. He rushed down from the helicopter and ran towards Julie.

Julie, however, reflexively raised her gun at Kieran. Only when she looked up did she recognize the familiar figure.

“Kerry?” her eyes slightly reddened, a hint of joy in her gaze.

She was still wearing a snow-white nightgown, the hem of which was completely stained with mud, looking dirty.

Seeing him walking towards her, she looked down at the gun she was pointing at Kieran, quickly dropped it, and ran towards him.

Kieran hurriedly ran forward and embraced the muddy woman in his arms.
