The Future of Princess Sabina
Chapter 57: The Road to Kiribati Volcano

An hour later, the private jet landed, and we were already in port. As we were about to board the chartered boat, Martin spoke loudly with the captain of the private yacht, but I did not want to get involved. From the discussion, I concluded that the captain was worried about the imminent volcanic eruption. Eventually, Martin gave the captain a wad of money, and they seemed to reach an agreement.

Martin approached me and spoke: "Well, Sabina. We headed to Banaba Island. " " The captain is talking about an imminent volcanic eruption. What's ‘s with it?” I asked, feeling concerned. “ Yes, volcanic eruption is the reason we went there. But once we get there, the captain will leave, ” Martin replied. "So, $ 10,000 couldn't convince him to stay and pick us up?" I asked. Martin shrugged and replied: "He won't use much money when he's dead, right?" " And what about us?" I asked doubtfully. "We'll be fine. Only adrenaline junkies or visionary delusions will go to the volcanic island before it will explode. ” Martin replied and grinned at me mysteriously. "And you consider yourself a visionary?" Sinister manyu. “I know that I. The raw thermal energy from volcanic eruptions is what we need to recharge the Zeto Crystals. Besides, I have Chosen with me. The True Creator won't let you die, will he? ” Martin asks rhetorically.

I did not respond to Martin's statement. His cynical attitude irritated me, but I had to obey his orders. Alex is his prisoner, and he's right about one thing. The True Creator doesn't care whether Alex lives or dies, so it's up to me to save him. In addition, Martin and I share the same goal. We both want to energize the Zeto Crystal, so that I can activate the Portal and face Rangda. I secretly questioned his true motive for activating the Portal, as Martin was an assassin and had killed countless people in the past.

We boarded the yacht in silence, and I felt anxious as we approached the huge volcano that was gushing out in a burning hot cloud, right in front of us. As we got closer to Banaba Island, the captain became agitated and stopped the yacht, refusing to approach a dangerous volcanic eruption. I smelled thick volcanic fumes, and I felt nauseous from inhaling the smell of concentrated ash, a mixture of sulfur and phosphate everywhere. Martin approached me and spoke. "Sabina, do your thing if you want to save the captain's life."   Martin opened his jacket, showing the gun he was holstering under his suit.

I fought against the impulse to steal Martin's gun and shoot him. I am younger, fitter and have the divine protection of a True Maker. I will definitely get out of such a confrontation alive. But then I stopped by myself. If I shoot Martin, what will I do with the captain? I can't just kill an innocent man to cover up my crimes!

I nodded at Martin to acknowledge his request. I got up and approached the captain. I grabbed the captain's arm, used my empathetic strength to calm him down, and convinced him to go to the island. Easier than I remember, maybe my abilities improved over time with the help of the Zeto Crystal?

When Captain Ahohako left, Martin looked at me in disbelief. “You never cease to amaze me, Sabina. You complained about the captain leaving us on the island. And now that you've conquered it, you're sending it away! " Said Martin.

“Captain Ahohako is a good person. I could not risk his life to save my own skin. I'm not going to think twice about throwing you under the bus, Martin Orchard. " I reply.

Hearing this, Martin laughed out loud, as if chuckling at a foolish daughter, and replied, “Alright, glad to know that we are on the same page. Wear this gas mask, if you want. It won't be fun in front of us. ”

Without a word, I put on a gas mask, and I followed Martin for the hellish journey ahead.
