“Understood. I'll do so at once.” Silas nodded with a grave expression on his face.
After hanging up the phone, Shane massaged his temples. “To the airport, please.”
The country he was currently in was a far distance away from Nalanica, so it would probably be noon tomorrow by
the time he arrived.
That was precisely why he instructed Silas to go to Nalanica first and wait for him there.
“Sure, Mr. Shane,” the driver replied with a nod and started the car.
Holding his cell phone, Shane leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes, musing over something.
At noon the next day, he finally arrived in Nalanica.
Silas personally drove to the airport to pick him up. “Mr. Shane.”
Climbing into the car with a weary countenance, Shane queried in a slightly hoarse voice, “How's the preparation
with the cruise ship?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I've already bought one. It's eighty meters long and can sail for a long time over long distances. At present, it's
docked at the harbor for maintenance,” Silas answered.
Shane nodded in satisfaction. “Good job.”
“That aside, I've also contacted an arms manufacturer and bought some weapons. They'll all be mounted on the
cruise ship before tomorrow. At the same time, I also contacted a security firm and hired three teams of
bodyguards. They'll be setting out with us when the time comes,” Silas added.
Shane nodded. “You did great!”
In response, Silas chuckled. “It's my job. I really hope that you'll be able to find madam soon. Only then will I be able
to rest easy.”
Shane cast him an impassive glance. Not in the mood to entertain the man's banter, he opened his laptop and
continued scanning through the compiled information on the islands he received yesterday.
He had already done so during the flight and was only looking through it again for a deeper understanding.
Silas compiled about seventeen islands, of which seven were private islands, three were state-owned islands, and
the rest were uninhabited.
Despite the claim of them being uninhabited islands, no one knew for sure whether that was really the case.
After all, some wealthy people didn't buy islands but constructed mansions on the islands and lived there.
At that line of thought, Shane separated the information of those seven uninhabited islands into a different folder.
“Are there any small search and rescue vessels on the cruise ship?” he asked.
“Yes, there are three, and they're approximately fifteen meters. Besides, there are also some inflatable kayaks, jet
skis, and the like,” Silas explained while he drove.
Shane nodded slightly. “Fifteen meters is quite long. Okay, let's do this. Arrange some bodyguards to take those
three search and rescue vessels to the seven uninhabited islands and check whether there's any trace of Natalie.”
It was a lot of islands, so it'd definitely take a long time if they were going one by one. Consequently, it would be an
eternity before they found Natalie.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThus, there had to be sufficient manpower to split up the search in order to save and shorten the time.
Silas wasn't surprised to hear that since it was indeed the best solution to find Natalie as soon as possible.
“Understood. When all the weapons from the military manufacturer have been delivered, I'll equip the small search
boats and rescue vessels with some before arranging for someone to go.
“Okay.” Shane massaged his temples, saying nothing further.
I'll be checking these marked islands out personally, but what about those no one knows?
Nevertheless, he didn't dwell upon that for long since it wouldn't do him any good.
Anyway, I'll just take things one step at a time. If she's really not on these islands compiled here, I'll still go and
check out those unknown islands that even satellites can't detect. In short, I'll never give up before I find her!
Shane fisted his hands, a resolute gleam glinting in his eyes.
The sky gradually darkened.
By eleven o'clock at night, all the weapons had been mounted on the cruise ship.
Shane didn't tarry but ordered the cruise ship to set sail for the open ocean that housed those islands.
Meanwhile, the three search and rescue vessels had already set sail earlier in the afternoon. By then, they were
sure to have arrived at those uninhabited islands though it was uncertain how those bodyguards' inquiries were
going and whether Natalie was on those islands.
