Chapter 1275 Chapter 1275: Everyone, except for Goodwin, was filled with excitement. Most of them were members of the Shadow Moon Society, and they greatly admired the founders, Harlee and Tonya. The chance to visit the replicated places they had once been was an exhilarating experience for them. "Yes!" Their voices rose with excitement.
As the group proceeded, the undergrowth thinned and the disordered trees gave way to a landscape littered with bones, complicating their path.
They had reached the second replicated scene. That place was known for its fierce warriors, battling to the death, leaving bones scattered across the landscape. Harlee and Tonya had once nearly perished there while retrieving a precious herb, though they had managed to escape.

Meanwhile, Goodwin pondered the number of corpses Tonya might have transported to this chilling site, feeling a shiver down his spine. He exhaled deeply. Clearly, friends of Rhys and Harlee were far from ordinary. The group slowed their pace to avoid the bones. Out of nowhere, a haunting wail echoed from a wooden hut not far off. Goodwin tensed, nearly shrieking, but Patrick quickly covered his mouth, whispering, "Stay quiet. What if there's danger ahead?" Goodwin suppressed his fear.
Harlee and Rhys shared a knowing look and cautiously advanced, with Patrick and Robbie close behind. Noel lingered, signaling everyone to hold their position.
The tales you love are at gVlnovlsNear the hut, a well-dressed group wielding wooden sticks was assaulting a disheveled boy on the ground, who screamed and thrashed.
The leader shouted at the boy, "Still trying to escape and report us? On this island, I rule. I am your master. Defy me, and I will beat you to death!" The boy, covered in blood and barely able to stand, replied with defiance, "Nonsense! Tonya is the master of this island!" Tonya? Harlee's expression hardened as she pulled Rhys forward. Blood obscured the boy's face, yet his captors displayed no fear, parading him as a trophy of their triumph.
"Tonya, eh? She's been absent from this island for years, and there's no word of her return. She's probably long gone..." the leader hissed. At these words, a dark shadow crossed Harlee's face, a fleeting look of wrath flickering in her eyes. She swiftly let go of Rhys' hand.
"I'll take care of this. You prioritize our baby's safety." Rhys sensed Harlee's determination, clutched her hand, and dashed ahead.
The boy was barely holding on, but when he heard the leader curse Tonya, he gathered enough strength to push himself up. He charged at the leader, shouting, "Be quiet! She's not gone!” The leader, taken aback by the boy's sudden defiance, stumbled as his companion swung a stick at the boy.

Yet, the blow the boy anticipated didn't strike. Instead, strong arms embraced him, easing him to the ground with care.
Confused, the boy looked up to discover his savior routing each attacker. Soon, a woman joined him. He gazed at her stern face and cold eyes, his thoughts blanking. Was this Harlee?
There Harlee stood, dispatching another attacker with ease, catching the airborne stick, and approaching the boy she knelt, handed him the stick, and said soothingly, "Didn't I tell you? Retreat today, and fight another day."
The boy was dumbfounded. He thought he was seeing things, but it was really Harlee. She had cto e see him. Tears of relief mixed with the unresolved grievances of the past year flowed freely as he covered his face, quietly sobbing. Chapter 1275
