Silver Cloud was somewhat able to guess that Ye Ningyuan was next to her. He frowned and halted his men around the area. They did not need to visit the apartment. He had handled one too many of these situations and long known that something was amiss.

“Green Dragon, look up Silver Cloud’s background.”

“Okay!”

It was not a good sign that said person had so much knowledge of him but not otherwise.

If Silver Cloud, in his conversation with An Xunuo, could mention his name, it could only mean one thing. Silver Cloud knew that he was already looking him up and was definitely prepared. Sending men over would only result in unnecessary deaths.

As An Xunuo ended the call, she frowned deeply.

Xu Xing…

What did Silver Cloud’s last statement mean? Just what grudge did Ye Ningyuan have with him to the point he was willing to resort to such methods to exact revenge? She did not quite understand…

An Xunuo originally wanted to return to her organization’s location, but Ye Ningyuan stopped her. She frowned, and he shook his head. “He will contact me.”

Silver Cloud’s ultimate goal was him instead of An Xunuo.

An hour later, all the information on Silver Cloud was in Ye Ningyuan’s hands.

Paradise Island…

These few words, like needles, caused his eyes to hurt. While they were merely in passing mention, he was properly intimidated.

In the past decade, any mention of ‘Paradise Island’ often accompanied Nuo Nuo.

Today, Paradise Island was under his name. It was a calm and serene island that he stayed on for a while during Nuo Nuo’s death anniversary. It was the best possible place he could go to whenever he was vexed.

Apart from the Ye mansion and London, Paradise Island was the other place he spent the most time at.

How could it be?

“Look it up thoroughly.” Ye Ningyuan’s face had changed and he became as sinister as an impending storm.

‘You will pay the price for her death!’

Did he say that because of… Nuo Nuo? Ye Ningyuan frowned. He had never looked into Silver Cloud’s background. He only knew who Silver Cloud was, what he was up to, and his strength. He did have quite an understanding of his past.

What if he was doing it for Nuo Nuo…

When he was on the island back then—or to put it differently, when he knew Nuo Nuo… Was he avenging Nuo Nuo?

In the documents Green Dragon passed to him, Paradise Island was only mentioned in passing without detail. When he took a cursory look before, there was nary a mention of Paradise Island. Ye Ningyuan frowned. He had overlooked something…

Little did he expect…

Who exactly was he?

“Boss, the information we are able to gather is very limited. We only know that he had once trained on Paradise Island under Wolf. All other information on it is incomplete and unclear,” Green Dragon said. “Since the battle back then, there was nary a trace of him as he was brought back to Eastern Europe and seemed to have found another master. He has been paying exceptional attention to your traces in the past few years.”

Ye Ningyuan became even more solemn-looking.

“What’s this Paradise Island?” An Xunuo suddenly asked.

Ye Ningyuan looked at her without answering.

For two days in a row, Silver Cloud did not contact Ye Ningyuan. Two days later, Ye Ningyuan received news from Paradise Island that a man and woman had entered the island. He paused and immediately knew that Silver Cloud had brought Xu Xing to Paradise Island.

He had a stern gaze.

There was only one family on Paradise Island. Seven years ago, Ye Ningyuan had taken over the island and did not want it to be inhabited. Back then, he had evicted all the residents on the island save a family he allowed to live on the island. Said family consisted of an aristocrat and his wife from a small European nation who lived in seclusion with his children. Ye Ningyuan looked up their backgrounds and knew that the couple had endured years of turmoil and were deeply in love with each other. Since they had nowhere else to stay except the island, he thought about it. Since somebody had to tend to the tea flowers on the island and clean up the house on the island, he hence allowed the couple and their children to remain.

For many years, nobody made foot on the island.

The nearby islands were training bases for the Top Terrorist Organization, and they were very well-guarded. Since Silver Cloud was able to bring Xu Xing to Paradise Island, he must certainly be very familiar with Paradise Island and its surroundings.

“Boss, shall we mobilize the forces on the nearby islands?”

“That won’t be necessary!” Ye Ningyuan raised his hand. “Prepare the helicopter. I’m heading out to Paradise Island. Let’s not startle anyone.”

This was a personal feud. If Silver Cloud came for Xunuo, he would not allow anybody else to interfere.

Paradise Island.

Flowers covered the island amidst a fragrance that lingered for miles.

Xu Xing looked at the sea of tea flowers with a gaze full of amazement and shock. It was so beautiful! As she stepped onto the island, she picked up the gentle aroma of flowers. The beautiful scenery made it look like a very beautiful island.

An immeasurably handsome man in sporting attire, who seemed to be twenty-five or twenty-six, stood next to her. He had a pair of blue eyes, a svelte figure, broad shoulders, and looked brimming with energy. He had a cold look that had a few hints of reminiscence and melancholy.

The white camellias…

Wolf loved white camellias and covered the entire island in them. While he did like the white camellias, they were, however, associated with bloodshed and strife.

“Silver Cloud, is this your old home?” Xu Xing asked the person next to her. She had known Silver Cloud for years. When she was kidnapped in tenth grade, he came down from the skies and saved her. They hence became friends.

She actually did not quite know him, and they would only meet a few times a month. Silver Cloud, on the other hand, treated her very well. Whenever she encountered danger, he would suddenly appear. Whenever she was vexed and filled with emotions she could not pour out, she would look for him and he, the perfect listener, would quietly listen to her woes.

To Xu Xing, Silver Cloud was special. He was like a guardian angel who watched over her. While he was cold and of few words, he took exceptional care of her. He would fulfill whatever request she had, however unreasonable they were.

She did not know what Silver Cloud did for a living, nor Silver Cloud’s world. All she knew was how he treated her so well and how he was her best listener, her most considerate and faithful friend.

He rarely talked about himself, and she rarely asked.

Whenever Silver Cloud traveled, he would always get her a small gift. As long as he was in London, he would bring her out to play. Thanks to Silver Cloud’s company for the past year, she was able to endure the lonely path of unrequited love.

“Ah, Paradise Island,” Silver Cloud simply said. His harsh gaze slightly softened as he looked at Xu Xing and asked, “Xing Xing, do you like white camellias?”

“I do. They are really pretty.”

“Glad you like them!”
