A Man Like None Other

Both Jared and Cloud were soon trapped in the throes of frustration. Neither imagined losing Quinley right as they arrived on the island. “Mr. Chance, what do we do now?” Cloud asked, sounding helpless.

“We press on. No matter how Ms. Tall vanished, she must still be on this island. As long as she’s alive, I’ll locate her, even if it requires scouring every inch of this island,” Jared declared with unwavering resolve.

There was no way he would ditch Quinley. If he could not find her, he would not leave the island. “Let’s walk side by side. That way, we’ll know immediately if either of us goes missing.”

Cloud then moved over to walk by Jared’s side. While Jared let his spiritual sense spread across the vicinity, Cloud warily studied their environment. After a while of walking, Jared gestured for Cloud to stop.

“What’s the matter, Mr. Chance?” Cloud asked. “There are people here. Although they’re deliberately hiding their auras, I still sense them,” Jared explained. Cloud froze and said, “They’re hiding their auras? Have they discovered us?”

“They must have. I never retracted my spiritual sense, so they must have detected that. I don’t know whether they’re friends or foes, so let’s hide our auras and discreetly close in,” Jared cautioned.
