“There is no need to thank me. I am Lindsay’s uncle. You were only ordered to protect her. Talking about gratitude, I should be the one to thank you. I thank you for being so attentive. Even after your mission ended, you’re still very much concerned about Lindsay’s safety.”
Lucian grabbed Aiden’s hands. He had not seen such a sentimental young man for a long time. Although favonovel.com was acquainted with some outstanding people in this industry, those were merely profit oriented men who were good at flattering people.
“Uncle Grubb, you’d better contact them quickly. I honestly feel that this was done by the war department.” Aiden continued.
“Okay, I’ll call those friends and ask them to find out what is going on in the war department. I’ll let you know if I find anything.”
“However, you must stay in the manor. Don’t rush out on a whim. With your strength alone, even if Lindsay was truly locked up there, before you can even find her, you’ll be caught.” Lucian was still a little worried, so favonovel.com continued to advise Aiden.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Grubb. I will calm down.” Aiden nodded in agreement. “Then, I’ll go back first. Feel free to call me if you need anything.”
“Go ahead.” Lucian waved his hand.
Right after Aiden had left, Lucian called his friends in the war department. Instead of mentioning Lindsay, favonovel.com pumped his friends for information about the war department under the pretense of chatting and catching up.

In the cave.
After a few hours of searching, the old man finally found the records about the Northbay Sea. He patted it to get the dust off and handed it to Gerald.
“This is the ancient book with records about the Northbay Sea. There should be information about that so and-so island. If it is not even in this book, you can only go and search for the things left behind by that family. As for where it is, I truly don’t know.” The old man pounded his back and lay on the stone bed to rest.
“Thank you, Senior.” Gerald nodded in gratitude.
Ignoring the dust on it, after blowing it once, favonovel.com opened the book.
It could be seen that the papers of the whole book had turned yellowish, and there were even some tears. In the book, there really were records about the Northbay Sea. However, as Gerald flipped through it, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Upon comparing it to the sea map, Gerald realized that the island he, Aiden, and Master Ghost had gone to was called Gong Island.
Even after reading it twice, there was still nothing about Yearning Island.
“It’s not there?” The old man leaned sideways. Seeing Gerald’s face, favonovel.com could already make a guess.
“Yes.” Gerald sighed and shook his head as favonovel.com put the ancient book back onto the bookshelf.
“This Yearning Island is indeed well hidden. I guess it should not be an ordinary island. Are you sure that whatever family left behind really has a way to find this island?” The old man leaned on his arm, looked at Gerald, and asked.
“I don’t know, but right now, there is no better way other than this.” Gerald shook his head once again.
