Time Travel: Age of Discovery

Chapter 71 Is the person still there?

"Mr. Carlos, how about having dinner together?"

When Betty saw Thea walking in from the gate of the mansion, she warmly invited him in. Looking at his expression, it was gratifying to see that he was recovering quickly.

"Thank you. I feel a little tired today. You should rest early, young lady."

Teya was concerned about what happened that night and politely declined Betty's kindness. The latter left with a smile without further speculation.

Returning to his room, Teya opened the window and looked at the surrounding scenery, and had already outlined the general route in his mind.

The location of his residence was quite good, close to the wasteland at the rear. However, when he saw the video screen of the arena, Teya had a vague idea.

The image of this communication bug is just like an ordinary surveillance camera. If it is exposed, there is no way out but to escape.

Fitea was unwilling to fight, in fact, he felt there was no need for a confrontation, and he needed to take Tina, Smoker and others with him. However, Fitea thought about what he would do if this group of people threatened the people on the island.

Thinking of this, Teya shook his head and gathered his thoughts.

Don't worry too much at this moment, just wait and see.

In a room lit by candlelight, Adil Haider and Betty sat opposite each other at a long table, with exquisite delicacies placed in front of them.

"Hyde, does Mr. Carlos want to join us?"

Betty sat upright on the chair, cut off a small piece of beef with a silver fork and put it into her mouth, blinking at Adil Haider who was drinking tea.

"Why do you ask? Just focus on healing your injuries and don't worry about anything else."

"Humph!"

Adilhaid caught a glimpse of Betty's annoyance and sighed softly, "I'm keeping some things from you for your own good. I'll tell you later."

In fact, Betty did this intentionally, wanting to see if Hyde was willing to solve the mystery. It seems that as expected, there must be something he is unwilling to say.

Having been with her for so long, Betty hoped nothing would happen and that she would be safe and sound.

Betty finished her meal and left. Adilhaid took a puff of his cigarette and let the smoke rise from his open mouth.

"The time has come. The Beast Pirates are very interested in Carlos. We might be able to use this opportunity to find a stable retreat. By then, hehe."

The town of Fuxi Island is still brightly lit, and the noise outside has nothing to do with this small shop, but perhaps that will change soon.

Painting tools, hammers and other items were scattered on the ground, indicating that the shop was under renovation.

At this moment, Tina, Smoker and the owner were sitting around a round table in the inner room, eating, talking and laughing.

"It's a blessing that you two are willing to help. By the way, I haven't tasted the dried fruit made from the galin fruit yet. I'll go get it."

The owner went into the kitchen and returned a moment later with a jar filled with many light-colored, transparent spherical objects that looked like bubbles.

Tina exclaimed in amazement: "Is this Jialin really? This is the first time I've seen her."

"This is a mature fruit. It has become like this after being pickled. However, the fruit is not yet ripe, otherwise you would be able to see its true appearance."

The owner smiled at Tina and the others, took out a small bowl and poured some out.

I thought the dried fruits would stick together, but unexpectedly they slid out of the can smoothly, which was amazing.

They each took one and put it in their mouth. After biting it, they found that the outer layer was actually a crispy sugar coating. The sweet and sour taste spread in their mouths, with a little juice-like juice.

“This tastes delicious!”

Smokers don't like sweets and were a little resistant at first, but after trying it, he loved it. Although it was a dessert, it could refresh his mind.

Seeing that Tina and the other girl were happy, the owner was pleased, but he warned them not to be greedy, as delicious food is rare.

After cleaning up, the owner placed the can on the counter, but he inadvertently noticed something.

He looked at the small cabinet with the missing leg and was suddenly stunned.

Why are the books placed on the corner of the cabinet missing?

……

It's quiet at night.

Teya opened the window and looked around, but there was no one there.

He locked the door, and while the clouds blocked the moonlight, Teya jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Without delay, he ran towards the town as fast as he could. Every second counted and Teya had prepared for the worst.

Arriving at the mountain behind the town, Teya looked down at the mountain below. The original hustle and bustle had disappeared, and it was plunged into the tranquility of the night. Only a few lights at the intersection were still on.

Taking a deep breath, Teya lowered his body and walked slowly and cautiously towards the shop owner's house.

At this time, in the room behind the arena.

Adil Haider held a cigar in his hand, as if waiting.

Suddenly, a man wearing sunglasses walked in and said, "Sir, the town is ready and can be taken at any time."

"Is he still here?"

"Yes, I saw him turn off the lights and he is resting now."

Adil Haid flickered the cigar between his lips and said with a smile, "I've decided to go myself. Let's go."

He put on the cloak beside him and went out, and the man in sunglasses followed him silently.

The rest of the people were already at the foot of the hill outside the town, waiting for Adilhaid's order.

Teya stood at the shop owner's back door and knocked lightly, but no one answered. He must have fallen asleep by now.

Gritting his teeth, Teya pulled the door handle hard and broke it, then quickly entered.

Without any lights, it was pitch black all around. Teya groped forward, using the faint light to walk towards the bedroom.

"Tina...Smoker..."

Teya called softly, walked into the bedroom and went to the bed, but there was no one there.

Why?

Teya was shocked. The two were not there. Where could they have gone?

When my hand touched the table, it felt like a piece of paper.

At this time, Adil Haider led the crowd and stood in front of the store.

"Is this the place?"

"Exactly!"

Adil Haider pushed the door and found that it was not locked. It looked closed but it was actually open.

He frowned and walked into the store, heading towards a closed door in the darkness.

Suddenly, a faint sound was heard, as if coming from inside the room. Adilhaid stopped, signaled the people behind him not to follow, and walked towards the door alone.

As he grasped the door handle, he suddenly pulled it open.

Instantly, his brow furrowed even deeper.

Where are people going? ...
