Chapter 494: No Clues, No Progress
"Exactly, so why don’t you keep quiet and stop talking, okay?" Black barked harshly. However, little Elias showed no fear. In his subconscious mind, these people were all somehow connected to his daddy and mommy.
Their harshness didn’t bother him either—after all, Mommy had said that sometimes stern uncles acted that way to teach children a lesson about being scared.
But he wasn’t scared at all. He just missed Daddy, Mommy, and his little brother a little.
The helicopter passed through layers of thin clouds, heading toward a small island in the middle of the ocean.
After finishing his bread, Elias was still hungry. With a bright, innocent smile, he asked Black for something else to eat.
Black and the woman were utterly flabbergasted. No matter how good someone’s upbringing, how could it produce such a calm and composed child in this situation?
Time passed slowly, and after what felt like an eternity, the helicopter finally descended onto a small island.
As the aircraft landed, Elias woke up from a nap, his clear, innocent eyes taking in the sight of the island bathed in the golden glow of sunset.
The shoreline was dotted with white doves. An elderly man stood feeding them, and as soon as the engine stopped, Elias could hear the soft, cooing sounds of the birds.
"Wow, so many doves!" Elias exclaimed in delight. The black-clad men no longer tried to restrain him. Here, on this island, they were confident that no matter how resourceful or clever Elias was, escape would be impossible.
Elias ran toward the birds, startling them into flight, their wings flapping as they rose together in a flurry.
