Chapter 1663Chapter 1663
However, the price of peace was rather tragic.
Quinton was acting arrogantly around Stefan, but secretly, he felt like he had wronged Stefan and
Renee.
If he hadn't been so extreme back then, Renee and Stefan wouldn't have wasted so much time apart...
“Oh, there isn't any signal."
Stefan's face sank.
That meant he couldn't get in touch with Renee for now—he could only miss her from across the
ocean.
"By the way, I felt like I saw the Southern Oceanic Stone before I blacked out...
I wasn't imagining it, right?"
After Stefan had calmed down, he recalled what he had seen earlier.
“Yeah, you did! It's a miracle!"
The fishermen all tried to speak to Stefan at the same time, eager to tell him about the magical
moment.
"It's unbelievable! We've been fishing for so many years, but we've never seen such a large pearl..."
“The legendary Southern Oceanic Stone isn't a legend after all! The pearl is magical—I feel healthier
just looking at it.My back and leg don't hurt now!"
Stefan rubbed his aching temples and asked Elijah seriously, “Are they telling the truth? Did we get it?"
"Yes, we did!"
Elijah nodded.
"The pearl is dazzling.
We stored it in Mr.
Everheart's treasure box.
It's magical...
It emits light even when it's in the box, and is just like something from fairytales." "That's great!"
Stefan sighed in relief.
One objective had been completed...
but he couldn't stop now.
"Let's keep going."
Elijah immediately stopped him.
"Don't, Mr.Hunt.You nearly died; you should rest first.'Tm fine.I don't need to rest..."
Stefan clenched his fists."I can wait, but Ren can't.If I go back with the items one day earlier, that's one less day of suffering for
her."Quinton immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"What are you both talking about? What do you mean by that? "
Quinton narrowed his eyes and demanded.
"Have you not read the news since you left?"
Stefan looked up and scoffed.
novelbinMany things they did had made the headlines lately, and he felt that even the citizens of Zambawi
probably knew that he was searching for a pair of eyes for Renee, so he couldn't believe that Quinton
didn't know about it.
Maybe Quinton had just stayed in this small fishing village so he could live in blissful ignorance.
"Yes, this place is pretty isolated.There are no phones, TVs, newspapers or magazines here..."
Quinton sighed guiltily.
But it's my fault.I stubbornly wanted to find those treasures, and in doing that, I've ignored Ren.I
thought she was strong, and that I didn't have to worry about her."
Stefan clenched his fists.
“She is, but this world is cruel.She's strong and kind, so those villains took advantage of her...”
