Whoever got their hands on the Jellyfish Seal became the helmsman of the organization. The reason K
hadn’t managed to get all ten elders to bow down to him was precisely because he lacked this token.
And he had always felt that K was an ungrateful cur. If it weren’t for the Holy Daughter taking him in
back in the day, how would he have climbed so high on the ladder? Yet, all these years, K had been
obsessed with finding the Jellyfish Seal, never sparing a thought to look for the Holy Daughter. Maja
helped him into the tent. The tent was roughly forty square feet, just enough for a few people to lie
down. But Maja, being a woman, had placed all their medical supplies and food between her and the
two men, drawing a line between them. She fed Quentin a fever-reducing pill. “I’m worried you’ll spike a
fever later; take one of these for now.” Quentin stared at the tent’s ceiling, thinking her hands were
quite skillful to have set up such a place. “Maja, do you plan on using the seal to return to the

exhaustion. “I saw Ian tonight. He might have been captured by the folks from Inner Island. They
haven’t returned yet. I’ll have to check it out once it’s light.” “People from Inner Island don’t hesitate to
kill. If they really caught him, he might already be dead. Aren’t you pregnant? Is Ian the father?” “Yeah,
I’ve been out of touch with him for a while now, and it’s making me anxious.” Quentin frowned,
wondering if the prisoner under the Porter family’s watch was Ian. With all the commotion Ian had
caused on Middle Island, the Inner Island clans must have marked him. His resources were too vast;
his entry into Inner Island would mean a reshuffling of power there. The families that had been settled
for so long on Inner Island wouldn’t tolerate a newcomer snatching away their resources. The strong
dragon can’t overcome the local snake. So, Ian was bound to be dealt with, labeled with any old crime,
and made a target among the families. Yet he still caused such a stir on Middle Island—was it to find
Maja? Quentin couldn’t understand such feelings. To be precise, he didn’t quite get any human
emotions. He became Mr. Gellar at a young age precisely because he never acted on impulse. His
foster father always said he was the most reliable because he was a child born without feelings. Killing
only made him crazier. If he hadn’t

been worried about blowing his cover that night, those men would probably have been wiped out by
now, and he wouldn’t have been shot. He hesitated for a second, and then Maja returned. The outcome
wasn’t too bad. The boiling urge to kill within him was soothed. He still kept himself well hidden. “Maja,
do you always carry that Jellyfish Seal with you?” He asked the question expecting Maja might refuse
to answer. After all, they weren’t even friends. Maja had already closed her eyes, but at his question,

release a false lead to send them on a wild goose chase.” “Yeah, that’s why tonight I let it slip to them
that it’s in the Mental Hospital of South District on Outer Island.” Quentin’s mouth twitched. People in
the Mental Hospital of South District had tormented Patric, and though he didn’t know the specifics,
now those seeking the Jellyfish Seal would swarm there, bringing trouble to the South District. He
wondered if she was avenging Patric or had another motive. “Maja, you don’t seem to like Patric much,
so why do this?” Why would she specify that the item was in the Mental Hospital of South District? “I
don’t like Patric, true, but he’s Ian’s biological brother. I couldn’t just watch him die.” “You seem pretty
decent to this Ian.” He wanted to press for the real location of the Jellyfish Seal, but asking too much
would undoubtedly raise Maja’s suspicions. His game wasn’t over yet. He hadn’t driven her to utter
despair. So he couldn’t reveal his true identity.
