A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1289

Chapter 1289 

“Are you the one carrying drugs for Ace?!” 

The little girl, who clearly had no idea what was going on, was terrified by Robin’s abrupt outburst. Crying out in shock, she burst into tears. 

“Grandpa, there’s a weird man here, help!” she wailed. 

On the dockside, an old man, having just finished unloading cargo, sat on the ground with his friends, puffing on a cigar. Hearing his granddaughter’s cries, he immediately turned his head, only to see the girl being held up in the air. He sprang to his feet and charged over. 

“Let go of my granddaughter, or I’ll beat you to a pulp!” he threatened. 

Seeing the man holding his unloading tool and a group of old men charging towards him, Eleanor quickly stepped in. She took the child from Robin’s grip, placed her gently on the ground, and handed a wad of cash to the old men to settle the matter. 

Having calmed the innocent bystanders, Eleanor turned her wrath towards Robin. “You didn’t think about asking the girl who gave her the note, instead, you accused her of being involved with Ace. Are you out of your mind?” 

Robin, realizing his grave mistake, felt a pang of guilt. Yet, he stubbornly retorted, “The person who gave her the note is clearly one of Ace’s men. And who in their right mind would stick around after delivering the note? You think Ace would be stupid enough to wait for me to finish questioning her?” 

Eleanor was speechless. Robin, on the other hand, pulled out his phone and dialed a number, asking if anyone had seen Ace handing the note to the girl. When the answer was negative, he hung up, clearly frustrated. 

Eleanor shot a glance at the fuming Robin and picked up her bag, heading towards the Harmonic Voyager No.1. Since they were handcuffed together, Robin had no choice but to follow her. They boarded the nearly empty ferry, assuming this was where Ace would strike. 

However, just as they were settling in, the ferry started moving. Robin frowned slightly, but he was confident that his men would be able to keep up. When they arrived at their destination, they found that they were still fully conscious. Puzzled by Ace’s tactics, they decided to confront the captain. 

They both suspected the captain was in league with Ace, but he insisted he had been operating this ferry for years. Regardless of the number of passengers, he followed his schedule every day. He even showed them his certificate to prove his point. 

Eleanor reasoned that Ace wouldn’t risk involving a regular ferry captain unless he was part of Ace’s crew. But if that was the case, then Bernard’s team would surely have found some trace. With this in mind, they decided to head to Area Opaca. 

Once they disembarked, they were immediately swarmed by passengers boarding the ferry. Among them was another little girl who handed Eleanor another note: Harmonic Voyager No. 2] 

They assumed the switch would happen only once, but it happened several times. Eleanor guessed that Ace must have noticed Robin’s men and was intentionally messing with them. This was a clear warning to her. 

After figuring this out, Eleanor told Robin’s men to back off. As soon as Robin relayed the message, they received new instructions: they were to set foot on the island within two minutes. They quickly disembarked and headed towards the island. 

They expected Ace act on them once they landed, but they waited until the wee hours of the night without any signs of activity. 

Frustrated, Robin was close to tearing up the island’s vegetation. Eleanor, on the other hand, eyed him up and down. “They’re probably hesitant because there’s an extra person here…”

She was suggesting that Robin should back off and let her handle Ace. However, Robin was incensed by the disrespect from Area Opaca, and his resolve to take them down intensified. 

“If they’re so afraid of me, it shows how pathetic Area Opaca really is. Let’s see if they can handle me!” 

Just as he finished his sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his arm. He thought Eleanor was twisting his arm and looked at her, only to see her face multiply before his eyes. As he struggled to stay conscious, he blacked out. At the same time, Eleanor felt light-headed, and then everything went dark… 

After they both collapsed, a masked man in black emerged from the bushes. He looked down at them, then kicked the handcuffs on their wrists. 

“Boss, this guy is hell-bent on coming here. Let’s give him a piece of our golden leaf, see if he can handle us
