Chapter 1276:
These attackers remained silent on the ground, too frightened to utter a sound. They hurried off in chaos while Harlee conversed with the boy.
Upon noticing this, the boy exclaimed, âLook! Theyâ¦â
âDonât worry,â Harlee comforted him, her smile reassuring. âIâll ensure you get your chance for revenge.â
Exhausted and weak, the boy collapsed, his lips quivering and his gaze hollow. âHarlee, is it really you? Am I dreaming?â
Almost two years had passed since Tonyaâs last visit to the island, leading the boy to believe Harlee wouldnât visit. He felt confused. He began to wonder if he had already died and was now seeing things. Had he somehow reached heaven, where he could finally see Harlee again? Harlee carefully assisted him to a seated position, her voice gentle. âDario, how did you find yourself here?â
Back then, Harlee and Tonya had sent Dario to a secluded area in Claelia after saving him.
Dario stared at her blankly. Upon hearing her question, his face turned somber. He glanced downward and murmured, âTwo years ago, Tonya discovered this ideal spot and envisioned it as a secret paradise. She brought me here.â His tone carried no resentment, just immense trust. âInitially, Tonya would come and stay for a few days now and then. During those moments, this place truly seemed like a paradise. But later on, her visits ceased, and everything began to change.â

As Dario spoke, his eyes burned with hatred. It wasnât aimed at Tonya, but at those who had cruelly taken control of the place.
âChange?â Harlee asked, her expression one of confusion.
Dario raised his eyes to meet hers, his dark pupils radiating an intense hatred that seemed to engulf the surroundings. âThose people who just beat me up have taken over this place!â
Dario said bitterly, âThey were employed by Tonya to oversee the island. Their behavior was exemplary in her presence. However, as soon as she departed for six months, they imported their kin and usurped the docks. Anyone attempting to escape the island was savagely murdered. The people Tonya hired have ended up as slaves to this family.â
Tears filled Darioâs eyes as he added, âAnyone who dared to disobey would be beaten to death! After they had nearly gained control of everyone on the island, they plannedâ¦â
âTo post fake job ads to bring even more people here. They transformed what was supposed to be Tonyaâs gift to you into a scam base!â
Robbieâs face turned red with fury upon hearing this. He yelled, âThose people are unbelievable. They have the nerve to act so boldly on Tonyaâs turf!â
This was Darioâs first encounter with Robbie. The intensity of his outcry made Dario recoil in apprehension. He gazed at Robbie, his knees trembling.
âKeep your voice down.â Harlee gave Robbie a cold look before softening her tone when addressing Dario, âThereâs no need to fear. These are all my allies, and they mean you no harm.â
Right after her reassurance, a group led by Noel approached.
Concerned that Harlee might be uncomfortable from crouching for so long, Rhys encircled her waist, helped her to stand, and positioned her so she could lean comfortably against him. He glanced at Goodwin and said calmly, âSee to the boyâs injuries first.â
Goodwin promptly approached and knelt beside Dario.
Having not felt kindness for a while, Dario was somewhat overwhelmed. âNo, really, Iâm alright. I can stand by myself.â
