Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 711

"Split up and search. Stay alert. If anything happens, send a signal immediately!"

Luckily, Stephan brought enough subordinates along, and Felicia had previously sketched out diagrams of the venomous creature they were looking for. With their forces spread out, their chances of finding it would be higher.

Soon, the entire island was lit up with beams from their flashlights.

Felicia wandered for so long that she started to feel dizzy. She found a large rock, leaned against it, and opened a bottle of mineral water. Just as she was about to take a sip, a faint rustling sound came from the trees behind her.

The footsteps were cautious at first, creeping closer. But then, someone accidentally stepped on a dry branch, resulting in a loud cracking sound.

The sound caused Felicia to turn around instantly. "Who's there?"

There was no response.

Stephan glanced toward the trees, his pupils narrowing slightly as if he had seen something. Without a second of hesitation, he sprinted forward in pursuit. As he dashed off, he issued a sharp command to his men, "Protect my wife."

"Mr. Russell!"

His men barely had time to react before he disappeared into the forest.

Felicia immediately took charge. "You four, go after him. The rest of you, stay here."

"Yes, ma'am!"

At her command, four men took off in the direction Stephan had gone while the remaining team stayed behind. Their eyes remained sharp and watchful, scanning the darkness for any threats.

Felicia couldn't shake the eerie sensation that had lingered since they first set foot on the island. It was as if unseen eyes were constantly watching them. She suspected that some hidden figures were lurking in the shadows, silently observing their every move.

She quickly sent out a message to the rest of the search teams, instructing them to pair up, stay alert, and prioritize their own safety.

Their communicators crackled back with affirmative responses. Everything seemed normal.

However, two hours passed, and Stephan had yet to return.
