Chapter 887 Gold Mine
The pitch-black drone hovered silently in mid-air, its existence almost
imperceptible unless one looked closely.
“This drone…” Charlotte looked at Sharon in astonishment. Most drones in
the market emitted a loud buzzing noise and flashed lights, so it was rare to
see one this quiet.
Sharon raised an eyebrow. “This drone was specially modified by Ben for
me.”
Charlotte wore an expression that said, “I should have guessed.”
Without further ado, Sharon controlled the drone and slowly approached the
source of the fire.
Enter title…
Although everyone’s expressions were somewhat serious, they didn’t initially
think this was a grave matter. They assumed someone had mistakenly ended

However, as the drone inched closer to the source of the fire, the expressions
on their faces grew increasingly solemn.
The place emitting the firelight was a rocky hill, and within the hill was a twometer-high cave. The firelight was
emanating from inside the cave.
Furthermore, parked at the cave entrance was a modified jeep, with four burly
men squatting by the cave entrance, each holding a gun.
As the drone approached, a stubble-bearded man noticed it and looked in its
direction with sharp perception. Fortunately, Sharon reacted quickly,
immediately lowering the drone’s altitude to avoid being spotted.
“What’s going on?” another man asked.
The stubble-bearded man stared at the forest for a moment, then shook his
head. “Nothing, maybe I’m just too nervous.”
“Don’t worry. Those people are probably still enjoying themselves in the villa
area right now. How could they possibly discover us in the forest?” another
man reassured him.
The stubble-bearded man considered this and realized it made sense, so he
stopped paying attention to the forest.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, Sharon had a grim expression.
These people were well-equipped and acted very organized; it was clear they
weren’t up to any good.
The relaxed atmosphere among everyone immediately turned heavy.
There was no need for speculation; these people were undoubtedly trouble.
“But isn’t this just an ordinary little island? What could they possibly want with
all this commotion?” Jack, who was nearby, asked with great confusion.
This was also something Sharon and the others couldn’t comprehend. He
looked at Charlotte and asked, “You don’t happen to have some pirate
treasure hidden on this island, do you?”
As he said that, the previously tense atmosphere eased somewhat.
Charlotte gave him an exasperated look. “If there were something like that…”

Sharon blinked. “What’s wrong?”
Charlotte immediately turned to look at Joe, and both of them saw surprise in
each other’s eyes.
“You’re not about to tell us there really is a treasure, are you?” Sharon raised
an eyebrow at Charlotte.
Charlotte shook her head. “There’s definitely no treasure on the island.”
Before Sharon could breathe a sigh of relief, Charlotte continued, “But when I
bought the island, there were rumors that there was a gold mine on it.”
“What the hell?” Sharon looked at Charlotte in astonishment as if he had just
heard something incredible.
“Gold mine,” Charlotte repeated without expression. “Back then, Derek even
competed with me for this island.”
As she mentioned it, Sharon also recalled vaguely. At that time, Charlotte was
bidding for this island, and Derek intervened.
He had originally thought Derek was just trying to boost Vivian’s status. He
hadn’t imagined there was this reason behind it.
