After scrubbing his hands clean multiple times, ensuring not a trace of grime remained, he finally
stopped and looked up at his reflection in the mirror. The face staring back at him still held the visage of
youth, yet there was a harshness and cunning in his eyes that belied his tender years. The sound of
Maja’s voice drifted in from the living room, prompting him to hurry out. The doctor had just finished
stitching up Maja’s wound. The power was still out, leaving a single candle burning on the coffee table
as the sole source of light. Packing up his medical bag, the doctor cast a final, knowing glance at
Quentin before departing. Quentin sat on the couch, his peripheral vision locked on Maja. Lately, Maja
had been worried sick about Ian, and tonight’s injury had only added to her stress. She was slumped
over on the central sofa, dozing in and out of consciousness. The dim candlelight was insufficient, but

was the only sound filling the living room. He reached for a syringe from the side table, grabbed her
wrist, and was about to inject her when a burst of gunfire erupted outside, shattering the silence like a
sonic boom. Maja’s eyes snapped open in an instant. The syringe in Quentin’s hand rolled onto the
floor, and with a swift kick, he sent it skittering under the couch. “Maja, you seem to be running a fever,”
he said with feigned concern. She got up, pushing him towards the adjacent room. “You and Patric hide
in here. I’ll go check things out. Don’t you two come out until I come back for you.” Quentin caught her
hand, a shadow of malice briefly crossing his brow. He had no idea what was happening outside. This
wasn’t part of his plan. “Maja, Forbidden Island is a no-gun zone. It’s dangerous out there.” She placed
her hand over his, patting it reassuringly. “It’s okay. I’ll just take a quick look and be right back. Stay
hidden.” Quentin said nothing more, reluctantly letting go. Maja, fighting against her weakened state,
left without looking back. As soon as she was out of sight, Quentin made a call to check on the
situation at Middle Island. “Mr. Gellar, it seems like folks from Inner Island have made their way to
Middle Island tonight, and they’ve busted through the checkpoints.” Quentin gripped his phone tightly,
his expression turning grim. “Find out who’s behind this mess.” “Will do.” After hanging up, he

glanced at the back of his hand. There was a fresh smudge of blood—most likely Maja’s. He rubbed at
it vigorously, but the stain was already drying and wouldn’t come off easily. Maja stepped out of the
living room into the chaos beyond. The entire island was blacked out, making it impossible to see

On Forbidden Island, guns were restricted to the elite few, and it seemed that tonight, nearly all the
higher-ups on Middle Island had been stirred into action. What in the world had happened? Her brow
furrowed as she contemplated investigating further, but then the sound of crashing vehicles halted her.
She cracked the door open and was met with a barrage of curses. She spotted a shadowy figure in a
cloak that concealed almost his entire body, except for a pair of black boots. The distance was too
great to discern his height, but the man caught in the vehicle’s headlights was clear to see. That
silhouette—it looked so much like Ian. Maja’s body tensed, and she almost stepped outside without
thinking. But then a group of men, radiating an aura of deadly intent, emerged. They injected the
cloaked man with something, causing him to collapse. They then bound him aggressively. The light
was blinding, and Maja could hardly see anything beyond a fleeting shadow, but that fleeting glimpse
was eerily reminiscent of Ian.
