Chapter 001
The cold waves lapped at my ankles as I stood there, dumbfounded, gazing at the beach and jungle bathed in sunlight, tears streaming down my face.Having experienced a tsunami and a shipwreck, I somehow managed to survive."I'm alive!" I shouted with exhilaration, running wildly on the beach. I didn't even spare a glance at the woman lying on the sand since I was overwhelmed with joy.However, my excitement quickly gave way to a sense of loss.I still didn't know which deserted island I was on, and the future seemed uncertain! I also had no idea how many people survived this cruise disaster.While contemplating this, I stepped over several sea rocks and approached that woman.Before getting close, I heard her emit several painful moans. I hadn't paid attention earlier, but now, upon closer inspection, I couldn't help but feel surprised. Wasn't it Queenie Xavier, the president of our company?The thought of her infuriated me. Queenie was my boss, the icy beauty who never spared me a se

"Behaved yourself, and no wandering thoughts!" Queenie Xavier warned, staring at me. She then leaned a little against me, her eyes looking so aggrieved that it irritated me.I had offered to help her, and she acted as if being supported by me was like I taking advantage of her.Clearly, Queenie didn't want me to support her in this way, so she walked briskly. Little did she know, the sandy beach was particularly slippery after the rain. After a few steps, her body swayed, and she fell face down.In a hurry, I carried her in my arms."Who told you to carry me, you filthy rogue!" Queenie screamed and slapped me in the face with a resounding smack.Feeling frustrated and having been slapped twice today, I instinctively pulled back one hand, covering my face. Without my support, Queenie fell onto the beach again, and her painful scream filled the air."Why couldn't you let me down slowly?" Queenie, lying on the ground, screamed in pain, looking at me with tearful eyes filled with anger an

I dragged the suitcase, took advantage of an incoming wave, and tilted my body. Flapping my arms, I held my breath, sinking into the sea.Queenie had finally reached the shore and saw me suddenly disappearing in the waves. She was completely stunned, with tears welled up in her eyes."Christopher, what happened to you? Don't freak me out! Come out, if you die, what should I do alone here?!"Queenie sat on the beach, shouting in despair. I felt comfortable underwater, thinking, "You used to dislike me so much, now that you know you can't handle it if I'm gone, huh?"Sighing in my heart, I quickly swam back to the shore with the suitcase.Seeing me coming back unharmed, Queenie stopped crying and looked embarrassed. She turned her face away, pretending not to care.However, the suitcase I was holding piqued her curiosity. She couldn't help but sneak a glance, and that sneaky look made me want to laugh.Such a proud goddess like her always had a stern face in the company, as if she were
Chapter 004
As soon as I heard that, I became nervous. Was there a wild animal nearby?However, after listening carefully for a while, I couldn't help but sigh. There was no strange sound, just the rustling of leaves caused by the sea breeze.This woman was too timid.But then again, in such a wilderness, even some men would be afraid.Queenie grabbed my hand in her fear. I found it amusing. At this moment, why didn't you feel disgusted with me? Didn't you criticize me for getting too close to you yesterday?I intended to mock her, but I was really tired and didn't want to chat with this woman. So I just lay down and fell asleep again.When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.To my surprise, Queenie had already gotten up before me. But for some reason, she didn't seem to dislike me as much as yesterday. She didn't nag or scold me for no reason.Resting for a night, we quickly felt hungry again. Queenie wanted to take out the food, but I stopped her.In her puzzled eyes, I walked tow

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,

"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

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

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

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

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
