Kerry gazed at him and tried to find something beyond his appearance.
"Master Xie, stop putting a good face on the evil business you did. The secret that you just robbed a
treasure map from Kerry Ye would be exposed today.” Said Kerry.
On hearing this, Master Xie looked more surprised and asked, "Kerry? Do you mean the young guy
who owns a great fame in a Sky City?"
"Yes, it's him," said Kerry. Master Xie ’s unmoved expression confused him that whether the man
around him was real boss for the treasure map or not.
"You mean someone took away a treasure map from Kerry?" asked the Master Xie.
"Yes, and I think it was you who did so." Relied Kerry.
"Do you have any evidence about the judgment?"
"To be honest, I have been informed that the treasure map was sent to a small island in the Pacific
Ocean. So I am sure that this real boss must be powerful in the local, and he should be a Chinese.
That is why I take you as the one who took away the treasure map.
Master Xie cast him a sneer and said, "You are too arbitrary on that judgment. There are still many
powerful Chinese in the numberless islands of the Pacific Ocean, I am just one of them, and I think you
misread me with your insufficient evidence."
"Are you serious?" asked Kerry, who began to trust what the Master Xie told him.
Master Xie kept the sneer and said, "If I were, I would have thrown you directly into the crocodile pool,
then I could make sure that there was one less person in the world who knew the secret. "
On hearing this, a feeling of loss welled up in Kerry’s mind. Perhaps he misread the information he got.
Looking at Kerry’s disappointed expression, the Master Xie said with a mysterious smile, "Good boy,
now you get another choice, you should tell me everything about the map, then perhaps I will consider
to spare you."
After hesitation for a moment, Kerry sighed and said in a helpless tone, "You know, I never expect
someone would plan to unearth the deal of treasure. However, there was a guy who took away the map
from Kerry and prepared to grab the treasure. Someone told me that Kerry’s parents were also the
ones who devoted to the treasure searching trip and lost their life. These are why I hold it in my belief
that the map can lead one to the treasure land."
Master Xie continued, “Then do you have any information about the one who took away the map?”
Kerry shook his head and replied, ”No, I don’t have any detailed information about who he is, but I
knew one of his fellows whose name is Heng Zhang. ”
“Heng Zhang? ” the Master Xie sank into a thought about the name, “do you know how to spell it in
Chinese?”
“No, I don’t know that.” Said Kerry with a shrug. After that, the Master Xie sent him a chilling smile and
asked, ”Now do you have anything more to tell me?”
“No, and what on earth will you do to me?” asked Kerry. In fact, he was aware that the Master Xie
would never give him a easy go. As expected, the Master Xie called his men and said to him, “Now that
you don’t have anything to share with me, I have no reason to keep you here, I think you can be a good
meal for the pets I keep in the pool since they've been hungry for days.” Then he gave signals to his
men to push Kerry into his crocodile pool.
Kerry looked pale about the order of Master Xie and cried, “You should keep you promise.”
"What a naïve guy! I didn’t promise you to spare your life, I promised that I would consider to do so,
And you should be badly punished for your breaking into my house." Said Master Xie with a shrug.
“You are break your promise! You should feel shame about it! ” cried Kerry.
“What are you waiting for, push him into the pool!” shouted Master Xie, who seemed to be enraged by
Kerry’s scolds and then ordered his men to take Kerry away. When Kerry was in the fight with his men,
Master Xie took a gun from one of them and gave him a shot. To his surprise, Kerry’s figure
disappeared like a vapor while the gun burst out a crisp noise.
Master Xie was so surprised about what he saw just now that he pressed his eyes with hands to see if
Kerry got away from the room. Then he came to the corner where they were fighting with him and
asked, ”Where is him?”
“He was here just now, and now, he should be here, but …” murmured these fighters.
"Pa --" Master Xie gave one of them a heavy slap on the face and cried for the pain caused by the slap,
"No way, it's not a dream. He was just like a ghost."
The crowd was scared a lot by his word since most of they held it tight that the sayings of God and
ghost were the true story. Perhaps Kerry had something to with that.
"Search the whole island immediately and find him." cried Master Xie.
"Yes, my master."
At this point, Kerry was running for your life on the street. To hide his track, he went back hotel through
the back gate and sneaked into his room.
Having been waiting for him for hours, Nighthawk went forward and asked when he caught the sight of
Kerry, "My boss, how is the investigation trip?"
"I think Master Xie is not the one we are looking for." said Kerry, who quickly took off his clothes in an
anxious look.
Nighthawk froze for a while, he felt really sorry the information misled his boss.
Kerry then hided his clothes under the mattress, patted him on the shoulder as comforts for him and
said, "It doesn't matter, man, I never expect that we find him in such a simple way."
"My apology, boss." Said Nighthawk.
Kerry went into the bathroom and remove the disguised tools on his face. "It’s not your fault. Listen up,
I’ve told the Master Xie the secret about treasure map, when he become crazy about the treasure and
tried to grab it, we can take advantage of his force and found the one we are looking for.”
Nighthawk was cheered up by his word and said, "My boss, I will definitely complete the task this time."
"Have some sleeps now. I think Master Xie will search every hotel after mid-night."
"Alright."
As he lay on the bed, the purple energy in Kerry's eyes completely disappeared and returned to the
blue color. Though it was more than one o'clock in the night, he couldn't fall into sleep for his failure this
time. Perhaps he relied too much on the number from Venus, and the number might be a temporary
one where there was no useful information in it. The real boss was so cunning to hide his track and
identity.
It was four o'clock in the morning, noises came to him when he was about to fell asleep. Shouts and
screams from women ruined the good sleeps of the whole customers in the hotel.
The door of the Nighthawk’ room was pushed open. Two minutes later, In his next door, Kerry could
clearly heard that someone was coming to him. Bang! The door of his room was kicked open.
Two men broke in and turned on the light on the wall. "Who are you? Why did you break into my room?
" asked Kerry in English.
The two men took a good at his eyes for a moment. The one they were looking for was a boy with
purple eyes, which was why they left Kerry’s room without a word.
A terrible night it was, indeed. The noisy traffics woke him up after two hours of sleep. When Nighthawk
went to check out, he complained to the front desk about the poor public order here. When the waitress
bowed to him for an apology, Kerry hurried across them with a hat.
