Kieran's coat fluttered noisily in the sea breeze.
Kieran could see Alcatraz Island clearly from the dock.
It was different from the walled and heavily guarded Alcatraz Island that he remembered.
Alcatraz Island was no longer the same as before.
The walls and prison had been reduced to rubble and rubble. The once smooth roads had been ravaged by swords, bullets, and explosions.
Anyone who saw the scars would have guessed that a fierce battle had taken place there.
Kieran, on the other hand, saw more.
Thanks to his [Tracking], the scars were clear enough to tell him that they had not been left behind in one go.
They had not been the same group either.
"Other than the Night Demon Society, there are quite a number of people who want to get to Alcatraz Island.
I guess it would be a good idea to divert the Dark Star Society's attention and contact more attackers to launch another attack. "
As Kieran looked at the scars, he could not help but speculate what Fenkes and the traitors in the Dark Star Society would do next.
As for the Dark Star Society's threat?
Under normal circumstances, the threat would still exist.
However, when the benefits reached a certain level, it was enough to make people forget about their fears.
It was the same for the commoners and the special individuals.
The only difference was that the special individuals cared about different things.
They cared more about the mysterious, unknown things that were closely related to them.
The bronze coffin and the Dark Star Society's determination to get their hands on it were telling the special individuals that there was a huge, unimaginable treasure on the island.
How could the special individuals not be tempted by such a treasure?
Kieran was sure that the Night Demon Society would not mind adding fuel to the fire in order to gain full ownership of Alcatraz Island. They would also describe the island in more detail.
After the Night Demon Society's meticulous description, Alcatraz Island would soon become a treasure island filled with all sorts of mysterious treasures.
It would attract countless special individuals.
The final outcome though?
Things might change in the future.
However, Alcatraz Island was still under the Dark Star Society's control.
"Men die for wealth, birds die for food!"
Kieran sighed softly.
In his heart, he reminded himself to be calm and cautious at all times.
No matter how great the profit was, it would not be worth it if he had to pay with his life.
"Those overconfident fellows have long been blinded by greed!"
"Ever since we discovered Alcatraz Island, we've been attacked at least ten times. Aside from the first attack from the Night Demon Society, the rest have been from these bastards!"
"They're like weeds, there's no end to them!"
Frostrill walked up to Kieran and said.
As a guardian, Frostrill's words were filled with resentment.
"But it's about to end!"
Frostrill took a deep breath to calm the anger in his heart before he continued speaking.
"When you open the bronze coffin, 2567, I can return to the Dark Star Fort."
"I really miss the peaceful nights in the Dark Star Fortress. It allows me to have a good sleep instead of being woken up by gunfire."
Sometimes, I regret discovering the secret of Alcatraz Island on a whim.
Frostrill said in a joking tone.
Kieran's heart skipped a beat.
According to his speculations, the first member of the Dark Star Society who had discovered the secret of Alcatraz Island must have been in cahoots with Fenkes.
Frostrill was in cahoots with Fenkes?
This was out of Kieran's expectations.
During the short journey to Alcatraz, Kieran had a better understanding of Frostrill's identity.
Frostrill was no ordinary member of the Dark Star Society. He was one of the higher-ups of the Dark Star Society, second only to the president of the Dark Star Society, Serdenk.
Why would Frostrill be in cahoots with Fenkes?
Kieran did not believe it.
Unless Frostrill wanted to betray Serdenk.
However, that would not benefit Frostrill at all.
After all, whether it was the Dark Star Society or the Night Demon Society, the reason they were able to obtain their current status was inseparable from the strength of their two presidents.
In other words, as long as the two presidents were still around, the Dark Star Society and the Night Demon Society would have absolute power.
As long as the two presidents were still around, the Dark Star Society and the Night Demon Society would not want to lose their power.
"Does Frostrill have the confidence to surpass his own president after obtaining the item in the bronze coffin?"
Kieran thought it was the only possibility.
He asked Frostrill without showing any expression.
"Frostrill, how did you discover the secret of Alcatraz Island?
If it wasn't for the Warden's invitation and coincidence, I wouldn't have believed that an island prison could have such a thing! "
Kieran said.
"Gilfren Hatch!"
I had wanted to recruit him into the Dark Star Society, so people paid more attention to him, especially after he entered Alcatraz Island.
He wasn't the kind of person who would willingly stay in prison! "
Frostrill said.
"I see!"
Kieran pretended to be enlightened and nodded.
His mind was spinning rapidly.
Frostrill's words seemed to be flawless, but it only served to prove his suspicions.
Only someone who had been in contact with Gilfren Hatch could have colluded with Fenkes, who had inherited the Hatch Heresy.
Or rather, colluded with Gilfren Hatch.
Kieran could already picture Frostrill, who had only wanted to recruit Gilfren Hatch, being persuaded by Hatch instead.
Kieran had no idea how the two of them had split the loot.
However, he knew that the situation was more complicated than he had imagined.
Fenkes had colluded with the common members of the Dark Star Society, while Fenkes had colluded with the higher-ups of the Dark Star Society.
Their words might have seemed similar, but they had different results.
If it was the former, Kieran would be able to fish in troubled waters.
If it was the latter, however, he might not even be able to keep his life, let alone fish in troubled waters.
If Kieran had been in Kieran's shoes, he would have brought all his men with him to ensure success.
Of course, in order to avoid suspicion from the other members of the Dark Star Society, he would have brought his men with him.
That was why the Dark Star Society had paid a considerable price to know that they needed him, who had completed the sacrifice, to open the bronze coffin.
In other words, all the members of the Dark Star Society on Alcatraz were Frostrill's men.
The Dark Star Society did not need any opportunity to mess things up. All they had to do was follow the normal procedure and they would be able to get their hands on the item inside the bronze coffin.
The Dark Star Society must have had everything planned out long ago.
Then...
What would happen to Kieran after he had lost his value?
Kieran did not even need to think to figure it out.
What should he do?
Kieran asked himself as he looked at the members of the Dark Star Society who had come to welcome him.
Once they arrived, Alcatraz would become a tiger's den.
He would not be able to escape.
Instinctively, Kieran reached for the leather bag at his waist.
Simones had prepared some potions for him.
There were even two [Underwater Breathing] potions.
Kieran was standing at the dock.
On his right was Frostrill, but on his left was the sea.
"I'll jump into the sea!"
Kieran made up his mind as he touched the potion.
Fenkes walked out of the cabin and jumped off the ferry. He stood beside Kieran and Frostrill, who was standing on Kieran's right.
One on the left and one on the right, sandwiching Kieran in the middle.
"Morning, 2567!
"Morning, Sir Frostrill!"
Fenkes was in high spirits after a good night's sleep. He greeted Kieran and Frostrill enthusiastically.
Kieran replied with a smile.
Deep down, he was getting more and more anxious.
He knew that Fenkes was doing this on purpose. He was ready to remove his disguise.
The Dark Star Society members were getting closer and closer to Kieran.
When the Dark Star Society members arrived, it would be time for Fenkes to remove his disguise.
Kieran did not have much time left.
He subtly glanced at Fenkes, Frostrill, and the ferry behind them, which was also being driven by a member of the Dark Star Society.
Which side should I choose?
