Stanley, along with Zayn and their team, entered Jetmore. As they made their way through, Stanley spotted a group of villagers and immediately approached them.
“Excuse me, could you tell me if two people came into your village today?”
The villagers eyed him warily. “Who are you? What brings you here?”
Stanley was straightforward. “We’re here looking for someone.”
The villagers quickly waved him off. “No one’s come into our village! We don’t welcome
outsiders. You should leave.”
A couple of the villagers began to usher Stanley away.
Zayn opened his mouth to speak, but Stanley raised a hand to stop him. “Alright, then. We’ll leave. Thank you for your time.”
Stanley turned and began to walk away.
Zayn, confused, frowned. “Mr. Hawk, why are we leaving? I have a feeling Ms. Wendy and Benny are here!”
Stanley’s gaze turned sharp and cold, his eyes piercing like a hawk’s. “It’s not just a feeling, Zayn. I’m certain they’re here.”
“Then why are we leaving?”
“Didn’t you see? Those villagers are incredibly hostile. I saw one of them go into the village to get reinforcements. We don’t have enough people, and we’re on their turf. We can’t force our way in.”
The key point was that Stanley still had no idea where Wendy and Benny were. If things got physical, it would only put Wendy and Benny in more danger.
Stanley felt like he was at a disadvantage, unable to act freely. His hands were tied by the

village’s resistance.
“I’ve already sent for backup,” Zayn reported.
Stanley nodded. “We still need to find a way into the village.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, a voice rang out.
“Who are you?”
Stanley turned, and behind him stood Fiona Kemp.

Fiona was the village chief’s daughter and Alec’s younger sister. She had spotted Stanley from a distance. His striking features, noble presence, and regal stature made him stand
out wherever he went. Like a magnet, he attracted her attention.
Fiona, a beauty herself, had never met anyone as handsome and charismatic as Stanley, so
she couldn’t help but walk over.
Looking at him with interest, Fiona said, “I’m the village chief’s daughter, Fiona. Is there anything I can help you with?”
Stanley’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected Fiona to approach him so willingly.
“Hello. We’re looking for someone.”
“Who are you looking for?”
“A man and a woman. They’re both very good looking.”
Fiona looked at Stanley with a soft, almost flirtatious gaze. “What’s your relationship with the good–looking woman?”
Zayn, watching the scene unfold, silently cursed his boss’s damning good looks, attracting
unwanted attention wherever he went.
Stanley, aware of Fiona’s interest, knew how to handle situations like this. He had many women around him–each one with different charms–and he could read their intentions

Right now, he needed Fiona’s help, so he decided to play along with her attraction.
“They’re my siblings. They fell off a yacht and were washed ashore here. I’ve come to find
them.”
Fiona’s eyes brightened. “Are you married?”
Stanley shook his head. “I’m not. Can you help us?”
Hearing that Stanley was still single made Fiona even happier. “I’ll be honest with you. Today, my brother brought a man and a woman into the village. The man’s leg was badly injured.”
Finally, Stanley had the information he’d been searching for. Regardless of any injuries, at least they were still alive.
The heavy weight that had been pressing down on his chest finally lifted.
“Ms. Fiona, could you take us to see
them?”
