The Island Takes No Orders

A shipwreck leaves him stranded with the boss who despises him and the ex who betrayed him. Now, their money and status mean nothing, and the man they treated like dirt is the one keeping them alive. But when he finds a dead rescuer on the beach, one question changes everything: if even help can’t survive this island, how will they?

Chapter: Chapter 010
I felt quite uneasy, but I didn't share these thoughts with Mandy.I continued walking along the coastline, hoping to make more discoveries.Unfortunately, as time passed, Mandy and I didn't find anything significant. The only thing that made us somewhat happy was a small fragment of wreckage on the beach.From this wreckage, I found a fire axe, a tool with tremendous utility.Firstly, it could be used to chop trees and bamboo, saving me the strenuous effort and time it took to use stones. More importantly, it could serve as a weapon. Even if we encountered fierce beasts, I wouldn't be defenseless.Since I had beaten Harold earlier, he was nursing a grudge. With this axe, it would act as a deterrent.However, what made both Mandy and me uneasy was that after the sunset, the sky suddenly darkened unusually. Patches of ominous clouds floated in, and gusts of strong wind swept through. The trees by the beach were swaying and rustling as if emitting an eerie laughter.Without a doubt, thi

However, Queenie quickly suppressed her craving, instead giving me a disdainful glare and turning her head away. Lillian, on the other hand, occasionally glanced at Harold, who was still busy by the sea, with a hint of regret in her eyes."Don't worry, Harold will surely find something to eat. He's not worse than that guy!" Queenie said, still holding high expectations for Harold.The two women sat by the campfire, watching Harold flipping and searching along the seashore from a distance, hoping he would find something to eat. As they waited, their stomachs growled, and hunger consumed them.Meanwhile, on our side, we had already eaten. The fish on this island were naturally fresh and uncontaminated. I grilled the fish to perfection, releasing a burst of delicious aroma.The combination of the fish's fragrance and the refreshing bamboo juice made the experience even more enjoyable than having a feast in the city. Mandy and I were happily indulging in laughter and joy.Seeing our enjoy

Harold clenched his fist and stared at me menacingly, "You know what? Back when we were at the company, I always wanted to beat you up. Unfortunately, I never had the chance. Today, I finally caught you. Watch me make you cry for mercy!"I coldly laughed at his words. You wanted to beat me? I wanted to beat you too. With all grievances combined, it seemed inevitable that we needed to settle this matter today."It's not convenient to fight here. Let's go over there; I'll teach you a lesson!" Harold glanced at the two women on the nearby beach while saying this."You? What are you? You teach me a lesson?"I contemptuously replied."Do you dare to come at me? You little brat! Last time, you took advantage of me. When it comes to fighting, I've never feared anyone!"Harold acted tough, twisting his neck and moving his body.On the surface, this guy seemed somewhat sturdy, while I was lean. Perhaps Harold considered this an advantage, but in reality, he was just being fat, and I regularly

Soon, I managed to prepare half of the roasted rabbit meat, and I kept the other half for later. Although half a rabbit might not be enough to satisfy our hunger, it was essential to have some emergency food reserves.Everyone enjoyed the meal, and the previously gloomy atmosphere vanished. Laughter and conversation filled the air once again."I'll go catch rabbits in the forest tomorrow. Catching rabbits is also my specialty; it's quite simple! Just burn some branches, let the smoke into the rabbit hole," boasted Harold, full of confidence after having a satisfying meal.Listening to his words, I couldn't help but find it amusing. This guy must have watched too much TV. Smoking out rabbits? The method might sound feasible, but it was challenging to execute. There's a saying, "A wary rabbit has three burrows." Rabbit holes usually have more than one exit.If you smoke one exit, the rabbit will escape from another. Unless you block all exits beforehand, but these exits were typically w

"Alright, it's my showtime!" Harold Locke eagerly expressed his desire to showcase his abilities in front of the beautiful ladies."Go for it, Harold, we're counting on you!" Lillian looked at Harold with admiration. When a woman was deeply in love, she tended to believe every word her lover said.Queenie also had a better impression of Harold Locke. After all, compared to me, who she perceived as lecherous, lazy, and boastful, Harold Locke was an outstanding professional and a trustful vice president in the company."I don't know who it is, but just finding some food and getting so arrogant, thinking highly of themselves. Today, I'm going to find a lot of food and let certain people know what I'm made of!" Harold Locke deliberately said, glancing at me disdainfully.He still held a grudge from the beating I gave him earlier and occasionally wanted to mock me."Harold is so amazing." Lillian looked at me with disdain, as if wanting to prove that abandoning me was the right choice.Alt

At that moment, Harold Locke and Lillian Chester looked extremely miserable. They were no longer the bright and glamorous figures they used to be in the company.They seemed to have gone through a lot of hardships, with tattered clothes, and dirty and disheveled appearances.If they hadn't spoken, both I and Queenie would have almost mistaken them for wild people on the island. It seemed that they smelled the aroma of our grilled fish, which led them to find us."Harold, Lillian, how did you two end up in such a pitiful state!" Queenie exclaimed in surprise.They walked over, emitting a foul smell, and Queenie covered her nose in disgust, moving a bit closer to me.It amused me. This woman has been quite disdainful of me these past few days. Now it seemed that having capable subordinates was more unbearable for her than I am. It was really amusing."We're starving! Is there anything to eat? Give us some, we're starving!" As they approached, they stared at the grilled fish on our rack,
