"Good morning, Mr. Carter."Samara had on another mask, which looked very different from her usual one. This time, the mask was more casual, and it complemented her outfit.Vincent's gaze swept over her coldly and he completely ignored her greeting. As he turned to Milo instead, his gaze softened immediately, and his lips curved into a faint smile."Why are you here to see me so early? What's the matter?""Well, you see, there's a special climbing area on the island. Would you be interested in taking on the challenge, Vincent?" Milo asked, looking hopefully at him. Vincent felt a flicker of interest. He had heard about the climbing area. It had once been a tourist attraction on the island, but due to a lack of proper planning, it was only known among a small circle of people. Their development plan for Breeze Island included an overhaul of the climbing area.Ever since he'd come to the island, he'd been so preoccupied with one thing after another that he hadn't had the time to

Vincent abruptly picked up the pace, putting Zane and Chad under immense pressure. Their expressions changed immediately.They would never have dreamed that Vincent had been hiding his abilities all along. He had tricked them!Zane took it particularly hard. He had challenged Vincent earlier, and it would be utterly humiliating if he lost."No! I can't be defeated by that punk!" Zane roared inwardly, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.Marisol followed closely behind Vincent. She was almost shoulder to shoulder with him, constantly on the lookout for his safety. If there was any hint of danger, she would be able to help at once.Samara lagged behind slightly. The wound on her abdomen prevented her from exerting herself, but she maintained a steady pace on Vincent's left, right below him. That way, she could also protect him."Be careful, Vincent. Safety should be our priority." Marisol's words of concern for Vincent only sparked Zane's competitive spirit further, and he clen

Chad was delighted to hear it and immediately let go of the rock wall. The woman asked, "Are you ready?"Instantly, Chad plummeted downward. Terrified, he grabbed the safety rope tightly with both hands, turning as pale as a sheet."Oh, I'm so sorry! My grip slipped. You aren't hurt, are you?" Although the woman apologized, she didn't sound sorry at all.Chad was miffed about her sly move, but he didn't dare to lose his temper. He had no choice but to endure the pain throbbing in his leg. Humiliated, he returned to the ground and found a spot to treat his gruesome wound.Meanwhile, the race between Vincent and Zane was heating up. They were neck and neck with each other."I am not going to lose to you!" Zane gritted his teeth, his eyes full of defiance.Vincent chuckled, looking confident. "It's not over yet. Don't jump to conclusions."He took a deep breath, as if he was gathering all his strength, and began his final sprint to the top.At last, Vincent was the first to touc

The race continued after the minor hiccup with the boulder. However, the result was unexpected. Both Marisol and Samara reached the finish line at the same time.Marisol was disgruntled about the fact that they had ended up in a tie. She was secretly impressed that the woman had managed to tie with her despite being injured. Clearly, her skills were not to be underestimated.When they both got back to the ground, Vincent's gaze fell on Samara. Her brow was furrowed slightly, and she looked as if she was in pain.Vincent heard a small voice inside his head warning him not to soften or care.At that moment, Samara seemed to sense Vincent's eyes on her. She smiled slightly and asked in a playful tone, "What's the matter? Do you feel sorry for me?"Vincent's gaze sharpened, and he replied mercilessly, "You're reading too much into it."It was afternoon by the time they got back to the inn. Everyone had a quick lunch before returning to their rooms to rest.Although Vincent kept te

Vincent knew what Samara was asking about, but he chose to remain silent.After a long time, she slowly took off her mask, her lips curling into a bitter smile.Three years had gone by, and their first real reunion was taking place under such awkward circumstances.Both of them stayed silent.He was no longer hiding, and she was no longer probing. The rare honesty between them made them both breathe a sigh of relief. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that she hadn't changed much in three years. Her face was just more sharply defined, and she looked more mature. "Vincent…" she called softly, as if she was trying to reclaim the time they'd lost."Stop. Don't say anything." Vincent cut her off abruptly."There's no need to reminisce or talk about anything. I don't even want to ask why you've shown up using a different identity and whether it's a coincidence or deliberate. From now on, I hope we never see each other again."Vincent stared unblinkingly at her with a resolute loo
