Turning to look at Jared, Renault was astounded to see that the former was about Cloud's age.
Even though he had heard of Jared's exploits from Tyrone before, he didn't expect Jared to be so young.
“Mr. Chance, thank you for taking care of my son,” Renault said cordially upon walking up to Jared.
“Don't mention it, Old Mr. Seizon. Cloud has also been a big help to me,” Jared replied with equal politeness.
“Mr. Chance, did anything strange happen after you arrived on the island?” Renault inquired.
“Anything strange?” A puzzled look descended upon Jared's face.
“Such as someone mysteriously disappearing,” Renault elaborated.
Before Jared could respond, Cloud interjected, “Yes. A friend of Mr. Chance's has gone missing. She is the eldest daughter of the Tall family from the far north. All of us were together earlier, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye, and we can't seem to find her no matter how hard we search.”
“Did you encounter something similar too, Old Mr. Seizon?” Jared asked, to which Renault nodded.
“We started out with more than ten men. Now that a few of them have mysteriously vanished, we're the only ones left.”
“Evidently, there's something peculiar going on, on this island. I had assumed that an illusion array was set up but didn't manage to find one.”
News of Renault losing a few of his men astonished Jared.
“It isn't an illusion array. If it was, I would have noticed it too. That said, those who disappeared didn't look like they were kidnapped. I suspect that there's either a Teleportation Array on this island or a space-time rift. Those who vanished must have gone to a different place through either of them.”
Renault shared his theory on the matter.
“That's highly probable,” Jared agreed.
When it came to sudden disappearances like that, no other explanation was more feasible than a Teleportation Array or space-time rift.
“Dad, you have still not seen the true extent of Mr. Chance's powers. There's nothing he isn't capable of.”
By then, Cloud had already idolized Jared.
While Jared and his companions traveled deeper into the island, the spirit ship they had previously boarded was also brought to the island by the divine turtles.
The sight of the island filled everyone with shock and curiosity.
The spirit ship's crew members, in particular, were utterly stunned as they weren't even aware of the island's existence despite sailing the Night Sea for many years.
Staring at the lush green island, many cultivators jumped off the ship to go on shore.
Nevertheless, a few who were less courageous decided to stay on the ship for fear of the unknown dangers there.
As for Fayzon, he instructed the crew to repair the ship as soon as possible while he, too, headed off to explore the mysterious island.
