There was strength in numbers. In half an hour, a civilian secretly alerted the island's security command, informing them of the street where this elder lived.

The island master immediately sent his men to inform Yun Bixue, who was still on the s.h.i.+p, that the man had indeed been found.

Yun Bixue narrowed her eyes. Based on evidence and tracking a.n.a.lysis, her guess was correct indeed.

However, finding him didn't mean that he could be brought to her.

Since the Second Elder was able to be an elder at the headquarters, he was definitely not someone easy to deal with. He was bound to run away. However, with her around, he wouldn't be able to escape.

Indeed, the Second Elder was living on this island. The reason he chose this island was because he knew that although this island was simple and didn't belong to any country, it had protection from the international powers.

No one could control this island at will.

But this Second Elder neglected the fact that Yun Bixue had an influential best friend, and this best friend now worked for the international military. She would, of course, side with Yun Bixue.

So far, nothing happened during his peaceful stay here, and because he had left three people behind in the imperial capital as a disguise, he believed it would hold for some time. Alas, Xie Limo had long discovered his departure.

The commotion on the island naturally didn't escape this second elder.

“Second Elder, bad news! Everyone on the island is looking for you tonight!”

Second Elder replied calmly, “Looking for me? I suppose it has something to do with the person annihilating the island.”

“Second Elder, you're indeed wise. Your guess is spot on. The large s.h.i.+p and weapons are standing right outside the island to pile the pressure on the island master in order to find you.”

Second Elder's expression was very calm. “No need to worry. Hand this letter to the island master.”

“Second Elder, will this letter really be useful?”

Second Elder replied with a smile, “You've followed me for so many years. Don't you know I have a trick or two in everything I do? Right now, we can only use the ident.i.ty of the Xie family to negotiate terms with this island master. Furthermore, with the pressure imposed on the island master, he will definitely seek help from the international station.”

“I understand now. You're truly brilliant, Second Elder! This way, Yun Bixue would be the one instigating a war, and possibly an international war. It can go two ways. Let's blow up the matter. If the citizens of the island get injured, it would be a good thing. This way, we don't even need to deal with her ourselves, and she would be punished by the international body.”

Second Elder patted his subordinate on the shoulder. “Your guess is partly correct. Go now!”

“Yes!”

After his subordinate left, Second Elder's face darkened. This was the first time he felt a strong sense of unease.

He couldn't quite explain why he was feeling this way, but he thought it laughable. He, the Second Elder, fearing a young la.s.s? Impossible!

But he had to admit he had underestimated this young la.s.s. He hadn't expected her to find her way here, and furthermore, using such a violent and direct method to force him to come out.

Actually, Yun Bixue only dared to use force because she had done sufficient preparations and also considered the international military forces. Regardless of what situation arose, she had strategies to deal with that.

Hence, annihilation was the most direct and effective method for her now.

“Young Madam, we detected a large s.h.i.+p from the international military forces on the sea.”

Yun Bixue nodded. “It doesn't matter. I'm prepared.”

“Yes!”

What surprised Yun Bixue was receiving an encrypted message from Bai Yaoyao—she was the only one who understood this encryption.

Honestly speaking, she was astonished to find out that Bai Yaoyao was in the international military forces.
