"Do you know why that old man went to look for you?”
"That old man…"
Landon, who was still in a daze, suddenly spoke. Sarah's eyes widened the moment she heard the person Landon mentioned.
That nightmarish memory flashed through her mind. At that time, Sarah, who was still young, had not resisted the temptation and agreed to give him a beautiful necklace in exchange for the chance to draw her blood.
At that time, she was blinded by the necklace. It was only after her blood was drawn that she realized that something was wrong. The fear in her heart surged out as her blood was continuously drawn.
In her panic, she tore off the necklace around her neck and fled. However, she did not expect that she would be severely reprimanded when she fled home to seek comfort from her father and mother.
Sarah's father slapped her hard for the first time. Her mother wanted to stop him, but she didn't say anything in the end.
This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Sarah, who was still young at that time. The old man, whose name Sarah did not know, became a nightmare.
Even though Sarah didn't want to think about it, it lingered in her mind like a vengeful spirit.
Therefore, when Landon mentioned it, Sarah collapsed to the ground as if she had collapsed. Her face was filled with panic.
When Maio saw her sister's reaction, she was shocked. She had never seen her sister so fragile before.
In fact, Maio was too young to remember what had happened, so he didn't know what had happened.
However, when he saw his sister like this, Maio subconsciously went forward to help her up, but his sister's hands were tightly gripping his clothes.
This made Maio even more worried, so he reached out and hugged him. However, when he thought about how his sister had become like this because of Landon, he couldn't help but look at Landon with dissatisfaction.
"You must have thought that the other party was an outsider who wanted to explore the secrets of Maya Island, right? Although there was nothing wrong with saying that, in fact, the other party had only done so at the request of the clan leader.”
"…This is impossible!"
Sarah, who was in Maio's arms, trembled. She raised her head and looked at Landon in disbelief.
If such a thing was true, then Sarah would have doubts about what she had always insisted on, because if it was really her father who did it.
If that was the case, how could her father, who knew that this would violate the rules, be the role model for Sarah to persevere until now? This would greatly shake Sarah's heart.
"Nothing is impossible. Although I didn't know about this at the beginning, Uncle told me the truth later.”
Landon looked at Sarah's broken face and met her slightly expectant gaze. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sarah was expecting him to deny it.
Unfortunately, the fact was that the clan leader had personally agreed to the other party's request. Or rather, after the clan leader had originally rejected it, he had reconsidered and changed his mind.
The tribe leader knew very well that Maya Island was not a place completely isolated from the world. As the outside world gradually unified, this place would eventually be affected by the outside world.
He had already seen the possibility of changing the Mayan Islanders from Langton, because Langton continued to pass on his knowledge to the island while he was studying.
This caused the villagers on the island to change their living habits to a large extent and improve their quality of life. However, the tribe leader knew that although the outside world was more beautiful.
However, it was also dangerous because it was too beautiful. The root of this danger was that the villagers on Maya Island were too simple.
If it was just an ordinary person, simplicity was not a bad thing. However, for the Mayan Islanders who contained a huge secret, simplicity was destined to be a bad thing.
Therefore, the clan leader tried to find a way to solve this problem, and the first problem that needed to be solved was the problem of leadership.
This wasn't about who to choose as the leader. On the contrary, the problem was how to make the only successor meet the requirements.
At this time, such a person happened to come to the island. He hoped to live in the village for a period of time and hoped to conduct some research.
The clan leader naturally refused such a person without hesitation. However, at this moment, he suddenly thought of something, so he made a three-point agreement with the other party.
If the other party could meet a certain requirement, he would agree to it. On the contrary, the other party had to leave the island immediately and never be allowed to enter this island again.
This person was none other than Dr. Paspard. This old man quickly made Sarah lose her judgment through his flowery words. Then, he took out a rather exquisite and beautiful necklace.
It had to be said that Sarah was just like Maio now. The two sisters were very interested in new things. At the same time, as girls, how could they not like beautiful and exquisite things?
Therefore, Sarah did not care about what the other party's request was, and she temporarily forgot what her father had said.
It was only when her blood was drawn that Sarah finally reacted to the initial pain. However, it was already too late. The other party had already taken her blood.
"You mean…Father knows about all of that…?”
After hearing Landon's description, Sarah's face was filled with disbelief. Her eyes flickered with madness. Although she didn't want to believe it, her father's disappointed expression at that time made Sarah gradually understand.
Why did his father know what had happened the moment he returned and even beat him up? The reason was that his father knew all of this.
"Uncle's disappointment in you isn't because you didn't follow the rules, nor is it because you broke the rules and had your blood taken away by others, making it possible for others to discover the secret of Maya Island.”
Seeing Sarah's reaction, Landon could easily guess what she was thinking. Perhaps Sarah still thought that her father's punishment was because she did not follow the rules to protect her blood.
"What really disappointed me was that you couldn't resist the temptation.”
