It seemed Bryson was more informed than Franklyn.

Hannah was silent for a moment, then admitted, "He got involved unintentionally, and the person who hired him is dead now.

The people on the island.

they would let him go, right?" "We can't say for sure," Bryson responded casually.

"The island will be auctioned, but it won't be successful.

" Hannah frowned at his certainty.

"Why are you so sure?" Bryson stopped the car at a red light and turned to Hannah.

"Because the real power behind it has no intention of selling.

's BunnyBookery "But I heard from Lydia that the island's owner comes from a wealthy family, and he's incompetent.

He wants to sell now.

Is he just pretending?" The light turned green, and the car surged forward into the night.

"The real power behind it isn't him.

" Hannah quickly pieced things together.

"The person behind the island isn't that rich guy? Who could it be then?" "I don't know who he is," Bryson admitted in a low tone, his voice clear in the quiet of the car.

"Even if the island was trouble-free, I wouldn't be interested.

I just knew about it," he added, revealing more than usual, a rarity unless he was talking to Hannah. Bryson began, "Since you're interested, I'll share everything I know.

The wealthy man's father died under mysterious circumstances, though it was officially ruled an accidental death.

After his passing, his son inherited everything but didn't investigate the cause of his death; instead, he squandered his fortune on pleasures.

His family, which could have made the rich List, is now in decline.

I suspect he knows nothing about this island.

He's urgently selling it because he's run out of money to maintain his lavish Lifestyle.

He's reluctant to sell, but he has no choice.

" As Bryson recounted the past, H annah listened intently.

"So, he's oblivious to the business dealings on that island? Hasn't he heard anything over the years?" Bryson gave a faint smile.

"No, he's too caught up in his indulgences.

He steers clear of gambling and illegal activities, which is probably why he's still alive.

If he knew the island's secrets, he would've been killed long ago.

Hannah was puzzled.

"If the man behind the island is so powerful, why didn't he kill him sooner?" "Good question," Bryson acknowledged as they approached the hotel.

He parked the car and turned to Hannah in the moonlight.

"Consider this: if you were in charge, and the island's operations weren well-established, and the owner was a fool who knew nothing, would you rashly kill him?" Bryson's question made her think.

The apparent owner was in the spotlight, making it difficult to trace the true mastermind.

The illicit activities on the island meant none of its patrons werem innocent and none would dare involve the police. On the other hand, removing the oblivious owner could disrupt the balance, complicating matters further.

Without a clear owner, the island might fall into other hands orom beca local management issue, creating instability that those behind the scenes would find undesirable.
